Chapter 452
Liam chuckled and slowly said, “Miss York, please don’t forget if it weren’t for Neil, your father wouldn’t be afraid of returning to Ryoln City. In a way, I’m doing you a favor.”
Elaine’s voice was cold. “It won’t benefit us if this situation blows out of proportion. I hope you know what you’re doing!”
Then, she immediately hung up.
Liam simply tossed his cell phone onto the table with a menacing smile.
Silvia cocked an eyebrow in surprise when she read the details that Curtis had sent over. She did not expect Elaine to be Aiden’s daughter. She immediately understood why Elaine willingly worked with Liam to frame Neil.
Reva and Aiden had worked with Perficient to ruin MY Corporation’s reputation in the plagiarism case. After that, Neil forced them out of Ryoln City, and they had been too afraid to return ever since.
Elaine was probably exacting revenge on Aiden’s behalf.
As Silvia put her cell phone away, the lawyer arrived.
Once he understood what had happened, the lawyer brought both Silvia and Curtis inside.
The lawyer met Neil on his own, and he wore a slightly serious expression when he came out.
“Miss Pond, I’m afraid this case is going to be a little complicated. Mr. Remus didn’t bring his assistant when he attended the business meeting. Besides, the other party insisted that Mr. Remus’s actions in the private room amount to S*xual harassment. On top of that, one of the restaurant’s staff witnessed the incident.”
After the lawyer finished speaking, Silvia replied coldly, “That staff member must have given a fake statement.”
A hint of surprise flashed across the lawyer’s eyes when he noticed the amount of trust she had in Neil.
“The most crucial components are the victim and restaurant staff’s statements. If we can poke holes in their stories, we might be able to win this lawsuit.”
Silvia nodded. “Alright. I’ll try to think of a way.”
Elaine would definitely insist that Neil was harassing her. Otherwise, her plan for revenge would fail, and her career would also be ruined.
However, her career was destined for failure the moment she started to plot against Neil. Silvia’s gaze turned ruthless.
“I’ll bail him out first.”
Neil was released soon after.
In contrast to Curtis’s anxious demeanor, Neil was incredibly calm. He only showed a hint of emotion the moment he saw Silvia.
He walked toward her with a guilty expression.

“I’m sorry. You must be worried ”
Silvia looked at him and slowly said, “Let’s go home.”
When they reached the mansion, Neil immediately wrapped his arms around her and buried his face in her neck. “I didn’t touch her. I would never touch another woman,” he said in a low voice.
Silvia laughed when he tried to assure her.
“I believe you, but you should be more careful next time. You knew that Liam had malicious intentions, yet you still fell into his trap.”
Neil remained quiet for a while. He released her and said, “I didn’t think that he’d stoop so low.”
Silvia rolled her eyes and chastised him, “Now you know. Besides, this incident has blown up online. You haven’t seen how bad the posts and comments are.”
The posts angered her, but she would not explain any further. After all, the most important thing now was to find evidence to prove Neil’s innocence. Otherwise, whatever they said would be meaningless.
“I’ll be more careful next time.”
“Alright. Go ahead and freshen up. Let’s order in for dinner tonight.”
Neil nodded. Just as he was about to leave, someone rang the doorbell.
