Sensing Isla’s cold attitude, David smiled bitterly again. He brought this
upon
himself.

Half an hour later, the two of them entered a discreet club in Ryoln City..
Once seated, Isla looked at him impassively.
“What did you want to talk about, Mr. Cooper?”
David looked at her and seriously said, “Isla, I’m sorry for saying those foolish words in the hospital ward and hurting you. It’s true that I initially pursued you for fun, but as we spent time together, I found myself helplessly falling in love with you. You-”
Isla cut him off, “Mr. Cooper, if you’re here to say such things, I don’t think I need to listen to any more of this.”

David panicked when Isla got up to leave. He quickly said, “Isla, I hope you can give me another chance. I promise not to hurt you again!”
However, Isla’s expression remained unchanged. She continued to look at him with hostility. “Mr. Cooper, we were never meant to be together. If we happen to meet again, I want us to be strangers.”
After that, she left.
David watched her walk away but did not follow. He stared blankly in her direction and remained lost in thought for a long while.
Back at the mansion, Silvia sat on the couch and fell deep in thought. Isla’s words in the restaurant replayed in her mind.
Did Neil care about her that much?
Soon, she pushed aside her muddled thoughts, turned off the lights, and went upstairs.
Since she had decided to break up with Neil, she should stop thinking about him.
In the next few days, Silvia remained busy dealing with documents from the past few weeks. She had no time to pay attention to the affairs of Remus Corporation.
While she was away from Ryoln City, Sigwald returned to his scheming ways. He was using MY Corporation to make money again.
Since he refused to change, there was no need for her to keep him in the company any longer! Silvia called Dulcie over and handed her a document. “Give this to the Legal Affairs Department. Let them handle it however they think is best.”
Dulcie opened the document, and her face turned red with anger as she read it. The document showed that Sigwald had taken advantage of a loophole and misappropriated MY Corporation’s advertising funds over the past two weeks.
“He’s crossed the line!”
No wonder the big advertising companies had not been willing to work with MY Corporation‘ lately. It turned out that Sigwald had been secretly causing these issues behind the scenes!
Even though he was her uncle, she would not help him this time!
Silvia was about to speak when her phone on the desk rang.
She was surprised to see that it was a call from Curtis.
As soon as she answered, his anxious voice came through.
“Miss Pond, could you come to Remus Corporation and talk to Mr. Remus? He’s been standing in the rain before the company’s entrance. He’s been there an entire day. If this continues, his b*dy won’t hold up!”
Silvia’s expression instantly changed. She hurried outside and asked, “What’s going on?!”
“Liam held a grudge because you and Mr. Remus forced him to vote on the managers‘ dismissal again. He fired ove
a thousand lower–level workers in the company. Many of them. are from struggling families, and they rely on their jobs at Remus Corporation to make ends meet. Liam basically put them in a tough spot!
“Once Mr. Remus learned about this, he went to Liam, who told him to stand in front of the
company’s entrance. If he do it for three days, Liam would let those employees return to
the company.”
Silvia was furious. Liam took over Remus Corporation, but he never intended to manage the company properly. He was only using it to humiliate Neil. He never cared about the company and its employees.
“Okay. I’ll be there soon,” she said coldly.
By the time Silvia reached Remus Corporation, one hour had passed.
While in the car, she saw a tall figure standing in the rain.
He was completely drenched, and water was dripping from his short hair. However, he stood. still like a post.
It had been raining in Ryoln City for the past few days, and there were puddles on the road. Since it was late autumn, the wind was chilly, Even with an umbrella, Silvia still felt cold.
Curtis was standing beside Neil. He was delighted to see Silvia.
“Miss Pond, you’re finally here! Please tell Mr. Remus to get out of the rain!”
However, Silvia did not even glance at Neil. She walked straight into Remus Corporation with an umbrella in her hand.
