Chapter 491
“Chris, let’s talk.”
Chris turned around and met Neil’s cold gaze. He showed no sign of fear in his eyes.
“What do you want to talk about?”
Neil walked up to him and softly said, “I really appreciate you saving Silvia. I hope you can accept my gratitude.”
Chris chuckled, and his eyes were filled with mockery. “Are you talking about those productions, Mr. Remus?”
Neil frowned, and he began to sound hostile. “Chris, I can give you money too if that’s what you want.”
Chris sneered and responded, “Mr. Remus, I don’t need your thanks, and please don’t demean me with money and projects. I saved Silvia because I wanted to. I never expected anything in return!”
Just as Neil was about to reply, Silvia’s voice rang out behind him. “What are you two talking about?” she asked as she walked up to them.
She seemed puzzled.
Neil had misunderstood her relationship with Chris before, and she knew that he did not like the actor.
Chris smiled. “It’s nothing. Remus Corporation just invested in a new movie, and Mr. Remus asked me if I was interested in it.”
“Really?”
Silvia appeared doubtful. Would Neil really recommend a job to Chris?
“Yeah. It’s cold outside. You guys should head back in. You don’t have to see me off.”
With that, Chris left.
Neil watched as Chris walked away, and he fell into deep thought.
Silvia held onto his arm and whispered, “Neil, Chris and I really are just friends. Please don’t cause him trouble.”
Neil nodded. “Okay.”
His swift agreement made Silvia widen her eyes with surprise.
“What’s wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?”
She shook her head. “I’m just a little surprised. In the past, you’d get upset whenever I mentioned Chris.”
Neil looked at her earnestly. “That’s because I didn’t understand your feelings back then. Now that I know you care for me, I won’t be bothered by other men.”
Silvia blushed and chuckled.

“I’m glad you understand.”
“Silvia, I’ll cherish you from now on. I won’t upset you anymore.”
She scoffed and said, “I’ll definitely leave you if you don’t cherish me.”
Neil held her hand tightly. “I won’t do that.”
As they walked back into the mansion, they saw Isla hurrying out.
“Silvia, something’s come up, so I’m leaving.”
Silvia was taken aback. “But I haven’t given you your birthday present.”
“I’ll ask Scarlett to pick it up tomorrow.”
After that, Isla got into her car and left.
Silvia frowned because she was worried. It was late, so she wondered what could be so urgent for Isla to rush off like that.
“Neil, can you get someone to follow Isla? I’m a bit worried about her.”
Neil turned to her with a smile and said, “She’s going to see David. Don’t worry. Everything will be fine.”
She was stunned. “But I thought they weren’t in touch anymore?”
