His words caused an uproar.
Even though not many thought of Elaine as a bombshell, she was still considered a charming young lady from a humble family. At the very least, she should not be associated with the word “ugly.”
They did not expect Neil to be that blunt and tactless.
After a moment of silence, an angry female voice erupted from the crowd.
“Neil, you really are a hypocrite for calling me ugly after harassing me!”
Immediately, everyone looked at the person who had spoken. Elaine was angry as she walked quickly toward Neil. It looked like she wanted a just explanation.
However, when she came in contact with Neil’s icy gaze, she subconsciously stopped. She felt a pang of guilt in her heart.
Even though Neil was no longer the president of Remus Corporation, his intimidating disposition would still strike fear in anyone who looked at him.
When Elaine recalled what Liam had said during their call the other day, she took a deep breath and picked up her pace.
“You need to apologize to me in public today. Otherwise, I’ll bring this to court and sue you formally!”
Everyone could see her angry face and clenched fists. At the same time, she was trembling slightly. As such, they naturally stood on her side and started to whisper and judge Neil.
When she heard them criticizing him, she gained some confidence. Anyway, Neil had no evidence to prove that he had done nothing to her. Therefore, it did not matter whether he apologized or not. They would still loathe him and spit on him!
Silvia frowned. Before Neil could say anything, she stepped forward and stared at Elaine fiercely.
“Miss York, I have never met someone with as little conscience as you.”
Elaine stared at her with hatred. She had never forgotten that Silvia was one of the instigators of her father’s exile from Ryoln City.
“What do you mean,
Silvia?”
Silvia cocked an eyebrow in amusement. She smiled and said, “What I meant was… you don’t even realize that you’re ugly. How pitiful.”
“How dare you!”
Elaine gritted her teeth and attempted to slap Silvia.
There was a cold glint in Neil’s eyes. Just as he was about to step forward, Silvia grabbed a hold of Elaine’s wrist.
“Ah! It hurts! Let go of me!”

Elaine struggled as she tried to release herself from Silvia’s grip.
Silvia laughed softly and released her after she struggled violently. In a flash, Elaine lost her balance and fell straight to the ground. Her face twisted in pain.
“Silvia! I’ll never let this slide, you despicable woman.”
Elaine struggled to stand up before she stared Silvia straight in the face. It looked like she would pounce at any moment.
The surrounding people did not expect Silvia to be so headstrong. They whispered among themselves and basically gossiped about her again.
“Tsk. If Neil really didn’t do anything to Elaine, why would Elaine threaten to sue him? I’m guessing that Elaine must have some kind of evidence in her hand.”
“I used to think that it was a waste for Neil and Silvia to be together, but now I realize that they’re removing themselves from the dating pool. A scummy man who S*xually harasses women and a bumpkin who’s been living in the countryside for more than a decade are a perfect match! It’s better that they’re locked up with each other for life!”
“Elaine’s so unlucky. She’s been harassed, but her perpetrator won’t admit it! More importantly, a woman stood up for him while he hid behind her. He really has no balls!”
Hearing the comments from people around her, Elaine gradually calmed down. Then she looked at Silvia with ridicule and disdain.
“Silvia, are you sure you want to defend a man who S*xually harasses other women?”
