âSheâs done everything that a wife should and shouldnât do. The two of you just need to tie the knot,â Silvia said nonchalantly.
Neil stared at her face and tried to detect any sadness, but he saw none. She truly did not care about him anymore.
For some reason, Neil felt a pang in his heart.
He looked away and fiercely said, âAs long as weâre not divorced, you have the responsibility to take care of me!â
Silvia felt slightly annoyed. She did not have the energy to talk to him. She took out her phone, unblocked Adaâs phone number, and sent her a text message.
In the Pondsâ house, Ada was getting ready to sleep following a shower. After she received the message from Silvia, her face turned red with rage.
Silvia, that b*tch!
She immediately got up and changed her outfit. When she went downstairs, she bumped into her parents. Both of them could not help but frown once they realized that she was going out.
âAda, itâs late. Where are you going?â
Ada forced a smile. She looked at Mindy and said, âMom, Neilâs drunk and home alone. Iâm worried about him, so Iâm going over to check on him.â
Mindy cast a glance at Idris. When she did not see any sign of disapproval on his face, she spoke to Ada with a smile, âItâs too late now, so itâs not safe for you to drive there. Iâll get Hart to send you over.â
âSure. Thank you, Mom.â
After Ada left, Mindy said with a pensive expression, âIt looks like Neil still has some feelings for Ada. Otherwise, he wouldnât have told Ada that he was drunk.â
Idris nodded. âAsk Ada to grab this opportunity. Luckily, not many people know that Neil and Silvia are married, so it wonât affect Silviaâs chances in finding a new husband in the future.â
It did not matter to Idris whether Silvia or Ada was married to Neil. It just had to be profitable to his company.
After Silvia divorced Neil, he would find her a husband who could also bring profit to the Pond Family.
Silvia and Neil did not talk on the way. When they arrived at the mansion, Neil subconsciously frowned when he saw that the lights were on.
Besides the two of them, no one else would come to the mansion. On top of that, it was so late at night.
âWhy is the light on?â
Silvia appeared calm as she responded indifferently, âYouâll know when you open the door.â
Neil entered the password and opened the door. Right then, he saw a slim woman. His gaze subconsciously turned cold.
âSilvia Pond, whatâs the meaning of this?â
Ada had prepared some hot tea. Right after she placed it on the table, she heard Neilâs voice near the door.
She turned around and quickly walked toward it.
Outside, Neil stared at Silvia fiercely. His heart also sank.
He never thought she would actually ask Ada to come to their home!
Did she know what this meant?
Silvia looked unaffected. âDidnât you say that you were drunk? I asked the person whoâs always on your mind to come and take care of you. You should thank me,â she said with a straight face.
âSay that again. I dare you!â
When Silvia saw Neilâs expression of disbelief, she could not be bothered to continue humoring him. âIâve invited her here for you, so I wonât stay around and disturb you love birds. You just need to sign the divorce agreement and mail it to me,â she said coldly.
Silvia turned around and left. She showed no reluctance whatsoever.
Neil was furious. Just as he was about to go after her, Ada grabbed his arm.
âNeil, Iâve prepared some tea for you to sober up. Please come inside and have some.â
When Neil saw Adaâs hesitance, he frowned. He moved out of her grasp and said, âAda, go home first.â
Ada shook her head. âNeil, Iâm not leaving. Iâll stay here and keep you company. Silvia texted me and said you were drunk. I donât feel at ease leaving you alone here.â
Neilâs face froze. âDid she tell you the password for the door?â he growled.
âYes...â
When Ada saw Neilâs gloomy face, she immediately said, âIf you donât like me being here, I wonât come over again. Donât be angry.â
Neil closed his eyes and said in a deep voice, âAda, I need to be alone for a while.â
âIâll be right here with you quietly. I wonât disturb you.â
âIâll ask Sayer to send you home.â
âNeil...â
âJust listen to me!â
Ada bit her bottom lip. She nodded reluctantly and said, âOkay. If you feel sick, you have to call me!â
âOkay.â
After Ada left, Neil closed the door and walked to the living room. When he saw the divorce agreement on the table, dissatisfaction flashed in his eyes. He walked up to the table and picked up the divorce agreement. Then, he tore it up and threw it into the trash bin.
She wanted to divorce him? In her dreams!
The next morning, Darrion Torres came to see Silvia not long after she arrived at her office.
He looked angry. He glared at Silvia and said, âMiss Pond, you fired half of my staff. Didnât you go too far?â
Silvia appeared indifferent. She raised her brows and said, âMr. Torres, please stay calm. Iâll communicate with the HR Department. When we start recruiting new staff, weâll prioritize filling up your departments.â
Darrion was so angry that his face turned red. That was not what he meant!
Silvia had fired all the relatives he had recruited. They bombarded his phone with calls this morning and asked him what happened.
Darrion was a construction worker when he met Silvia by chance. At that time, he was very poor. He did Silvia a favor, so she gave him ten percent of MY Corporationâs shares.
Mr. Remus, Your Billionaire Wife Wants a Divorce ï¤Chapter 9 In the beginning, Darrion did not care about it. However, MY Corporation expanded under Silviaâs management. He only realized how much ten percent was worth when he received up to ten million dollars every year.
At first Darrion was grateful for Silvia, but the sudden large sum of money also changed him drastically.
As his relatives and fellow villagers kissed up to him, he became increasingly arrogant. He enjoyed the feeling of being buttered up by his relatives whenever he gave them a work position.
When Silvia fired all his relatives, it embarrassed him. Hence, he was unhappy with Silvia.
âMiss Pond, even if youâre planning to recruit new people, itâll still take some time. Besides, who knows if the newcomers will be able to immediately take over the work from the skilled staff whoâve been fired? Now that these people have been fired, the departments Iâm managing will have to pause their operations!â
Silvia put down the documents in her hands before she looked at him. It was as if she could see through him.
For some reason, Darrion dared not stare at her. He felt as though she could decipher his thoughts.
Silvia chuckled. âWhat do you think we should do, Mr. Torres?â
Darrion immediately said, âMiss Pond, you just got back, so youâre not familiar with the companyâs operations. I suggest that you understand how the company operates and what the departments do before you consider firing our staff.â
Silvia remained silent for a while and nodded pensively. âYouâre right.â
When Darrion heard this, he felt happy about how easily Silvia was persuaded. It looked like he could continue recruiting his own people into the company.
However, what Silvia said next immediately stunned him.
âSince youâre here, why donât you tell me what your departments have done these past few years? What did the people I fired do every day?â
Watch Out, CEO Daddy!
