Chapter 47
Seeing that Neil was about to leave, Ada hugged him from behind and sobbed. “Don’t go. If you don’t give me an answer today, I won’t let you go!”
Neil frowned and got a little irritated. He said in a deep voice, “Ada, let go!”
“I won’t!”
Ada shook her head and sounded teary, “Have you forgotten what you promised me at the resort when I was eighteen years old?”
Neil froze for a moment, and conflicting emotions flickered in his eyes!
He pulled Ada’s hands away as he looked back at her and said, “Ada, I’ve never forgotten.
Since he never forgot his promise, he would try his best to satisfy her needs. Even though he knew that she had hurt Silvia, he did not blame her.
“If you haven’t forgotten about it, why won’t you divorce Silvia?”
Neil remained silent. He could not quite explain why, but the thought of divorcing Silvia did not sit right with him.
Ada blinked, and tears rolled down her face.
“Neil, have you fallen in love with Silvia?”
He widened his eyes at the possibility, but he immediately frowned. “Ada, don’t overthink it. I
wouldn’t fall in love with her.”
“If you don’t love her, why won’t you divorce her? If you want to repay her for taking care of you those two years,
years, there are many other ways. There’s no need to marry her. I can help you repay
too!
“As long as she gives you back to me, I’m willing to do anything!”
Neil hesitated when he saw her pleading eyes. After a long pause, he said, “Let me think about it, Ada,”
her
She knew that she could not pressure him too much, so she nodded with tears in her eyes and said, Alright. I’ll wait for you.”
After he left, she wiped away her tears, and a look of hatred replaced them.

It looked like she had no choice but to get rid of Silvia to be with Neil again.
Not lo
long after he drove away from the mansion, Neil spotted Silvia walking slowly down the
mountain.
Her back was as straight as an arrow, and it mirrored her unyielding character–she would rather break than bend to his will.
He recalled Ada’s question at the mansion’s entrance earlier.
Did he love Silvia?
The answer was no. If he loved Silvia, he would not have allowed her to be mistreated by the Pond Family. He would not have forgiven Ada for scheming against her in secret either.
Silvia used to be unassuming in the past. Every time he returned to the mansion, she would be submissive. However, she had apparently gone out of control.
After some introspection, Neil realized the reason for his recent unusual behavior.
He had merely been curious about Silvia. It had nothing to do with love.
The black Maybach stopped next to Silvia, and the rear window rolled down to reveal his expressionless face.
“Get in.”
Silvia looked at him indifferently. “No, thanks. My friend will pick me up.”
Neil sneered. “Are you mad at me because I didn’t have your back at the Pond Family’s mansion?
Silvia smiled. “If that were true, would you even care?”
“Of course not!”
“If you don’t care, then my feelings are none of your concern.”
Neil’s gaze became ruthless. “Silvia, my patience has its limits!”
Her smile grew even brighter, and she said, “Well, my patience has its limits too. I don’t care who you like, but you better watch over her. If she continues her secret schemes against me, believe it or not, not even you can protect her!”
Neil widened his eyes in shock. He gritted his teeth and asked, “What do you mean?”
“My grandfather’s birthday party. I guess that should be enough explanation.”
Right then, a Lamborghini stopped in front of the black Maybach.
The next moment, Chris stepped out of the car and walked toward Silvia.
