Chapter 453
It was Jake and Melanie. Both of them had gone to Royal Vista. After they noticed that Neil was not there, they gave Curtis a call. Only then did they learn that Neil had moved to Silvia’s place. Melanie looked disgusted when she saw Silvia.
“Silvia, if it weren’t for you, Neil wouldn’t be in this mess right now! You should stay away from him!”
She recalled what Ada had told her. According to the tarot reader, Silvia would bring bad luck to the Pond Family. Melanie felt extremely uncomfortable with this information. It was as if she would receive bad luck just by glancing at Silvia.
Silvia’s expression was cold. Before she could speak, Neil said with a frown, “Mom, if you’re going to continue spouting nonsense, just stay away from Silvia.”
Melanie took a step back and looked at him with red eyes. “Neil, it’s for your own good! This woman will only bring you disaster. You should break–up with her!”
Neil’s eyes were filled with dissatisfaction as he enunciated his words, “No way. I won’t break up with her!”
“How dare you!”
Melanie pointed at him in frustration. Her hatred toward Silvia immediately deepened. It was Silvia’s fault that Neil had changed.
“Enough. We’re here for Neil’s S*xual harassment case. You should stop talking about other things!” Jake said seriously.
Melanie kept quiet, but she was cursing Silvia on the inside.
In her opinion, Silvia was responsible for all the bad things that happened to Neil. If he stayed away from her, nothing bad would happen to him again.
Silvia was indifferent toward Jack and Melanie. However, they were Neil’s parents so she did not want Neil to be caught in the middle. Therefore, she looked at him and said, “I’ll go upstairs. You guys can carry on with your conversation.”
“Alright.”
After Silvia left, Melanie sneered. “Look at her. She doesn’t respect her in–laws. A woman like that will only bring chaos to her husband’s family.”
Neil glared at her impatiently.
“Mom, if you want Silvia to respect you, you should treat her with respect first. You despise her but still demand her respect. Isn’t that unrealistic?”
Melanie was speechless.
Jack was already irritated. He held back his anger and said to Neil, “I heard that this is Liam’s doing?”
When Neil heard Liam’s name, his eyes grew colder.
“Yes. He seems to hate me even more than he did a few years ago. He probably still thinks that

you’re behind his parents‘ death.”

Melanie’s face turned pale. After a while, she spoke through gritted teeth, “If he really thinks so, why doesn’t he show us the evidence? It’s so shameless to do something behind someone’s back!”
Jack glanced at her and spoke coldly, “I remember that prior to their car accident, you got into a fight with Liam’s mother.”
A hint of shock and anger flashed across Melanie’s eyes. She glared at him. “Do you think that I’m behind it too? No matter how unhappy I am, I’d never kill anyone!”
After Sean and Beatrice’s death, rumors spread across Ryoln City. Apparently, Melanie and Jack were dissatisfied with how Sean had been managing Remus Corporation.
When they first passed away, Melanie got busy organizing their funerals, so she did not pay attention to the rumors.
She never thought that Liam would actually believe them and hate her from then on.
The night before Liam’s sudden disappearance, he went to her and said that he would make her and Jack pay for his parents‘ death one day. It was still clear in her memory.
Melanie tried to explain, but he was not willing to listen to her. He then vanished the next day. When he returned, he was even more unwilling to listen to her explanations. He believed wholeheartedly that she was the one behind his parents‘ death.
Melanie felt hurt when she thought about it.
Jack snorted. “It better not be you.

His suspicion triggered her long–suppressed emotions. She suddenly stood up and yelled, ” What is that supposed to mean, Jack? Are you doubting me? If you hadn’t been too afraid to speak up when the rumors started, Liam wouldn’t have believed that I killed his parents!”
