Chapter 57
“You’re coming back with me tonight no matter what, Silvia.”
He had left her alone for a period of time so that she could calm down, but this was the result of his waiting?!
It looked like he could not be too nice to her.
Silvia sneered. “Who the hell do you think you are? I’m not going back!”
Since things had soured between them, there was no need to pretend like they had an amicable relationship.
“You don’t get to decide whether you want to go back or not!”
Neil started to drag her out. But after he took a few steps, he suddenly felt a sharp pain on the nape of his neck and fainted.
Silvia called Curtis to pick him up. Then, she removed the necklace and tossed it on him before she shut the door.
Half an hour later, she heard the sound of a car engine outside.
Silvia lifted a corner of her curtain to look outside. Curtis got out and quickly carried Neil into the car before he left.
Once he returned to his mansion, Neil woke up.
The pain on his neck made him frown, and he asked Curtis, “What happened? Why am I here?”
Curtis looked at Neil with pity and tentatively answered, “Have you forgotten that you went to look for Miss Silvia? She knocked you out.”
Neil was not pleased. When Curtis handed the necklace over to him, his expression turned even darker.
“I saw this beside you when I picked you up.”
Anger flashed in Neil’s eyes as he said, “It’s yours now.”
Curtis knew that Neil had lost all rationality due to his anger, so he quietly put the necklace away. He would return it to Neil
once he calmed down.
This was Neil’s wedding anniversary gift to Silvia. Curtis would never dare take it.
Neil looked at him coldly and said, “You can go back.”
“Alright. Please call me if you need anything.”
After Curtis left, the living room returned to silence.
Neil pinched the center of his brow and thought that he must have had a lapse of judgment to have gone to Silvia.
When he remembered the aversion in her eyes and how she had knocked him out, he was furious.
Suddenly, his phone vibrated.
He was surprised to see David’s name on the screen.
“What is it?”
David cleared his throat and said, “Neil, things have been a bit tense between you and Henry because of Snow, haven’t they?”
Neil frowned, and his voice sounded colder. “What is it?”
“Ryan and I yelled at him after we learned about what happened. He realizes that he was wrong, and he’s invited us all to vacation at a resort that Brooks Corporation is about to open. He also wants to mend things with you. What do you—”
Neil interrupted him. “I’m not free.”
“I haven’t even finished, man. Aside from mending things with you, Henry wants to invite Silvia along too. If you don’t go, she won’t either.”
When he remembered how Silvia had treated him tonight, his gaze was filled with disdain.
“Henry can invite her if he wants to. It has nothing to do with me!”
David still had something to say, but Neil had already hung up.
Seeing David put down his phone, Henry asked, “How did it go? Did Neil say yes?”
“No. I think he’s still mad about last time.”
Henry felt disappointed, but he stood up and said, “I’ll apologize to him personally!”
However, David stopped him. “Calm down. Things can still get better between you two. Neil listens to Madam Remus, and I heard that Silvia has a good relationship with her too. Perhaps we can ask Madam Remus to help us.”
Meanwhile, Snow was watching them whisper to each other. Indignation and rage burned in her eyes. She had suffered such great humiliation, but Henry still wanted to butter up to Neil and Silvia?!
No!
She would not let Silvia sit on her high horse!
She picked up her phone with a sneer and fired a text to Ada.
