Chapter 11: Chapter 11

“I...”

Darrion felt troubled. Apart from recruiting his own people into the company, he would hand all his work to other shareholders. He had no idea what they had done over the years.

He became flustered while Silvia stared at him. He also subconsciously lowered his head with guilt.

“Mr. Torres, are you unable to answer me or refusing to answer me?”

No matter which option he chose, he would definitely fall into Silvia’s trap. Anger crossed his face.

“Miss Pond, you know that I’m not good at managing the company. Aren’t you purposely putting me in a tight spot?”

There was a cold glint in Silvia’s eyes, but she spoke with a straight face, “Mr. Torres, since you realize that you’re not skilled at managing a company, it doesn’t seem appropriate for you to tell me what to do.”

Darrion could not refute her.

Meanwhile, Dulcie had a document for Silvia to sign. When she arrived at the office, she saw Darrion storm out. He left without greeting her.

She pushed the door open and walked in. When she saw Silvia casually reading some documents, she curiously asked, “What did you say to Darrion? He looked upset when he left just now.”

Silvia did not raise her head. She continued reading as she said, “He’s unhappy because I fired his relatives. How can I help you?”

Dulcie handed the document to Silvia and said, “This contract needs your signature today. Please take a look. If you’re okay with it, please sign it and pass it back to me.”

“Please ask the HR Department to recruit two secretaries for me—one man and one woman.” Silvia took the documents and said indifferently.

“Okay. I’ll put the HR Department on it now.”

After Silvia read through the document, she found no issues with it. She signed it before she looked at Dulcie and asked, “Oh yeah, what is the company’s capital shortfall now?”

Dulcie remained silent for a few seconds and answered with a troubled expression, “At least fifty million dollars.”

Silvia frowned. “Okay, I got it. You can carry on with your work.”

After Dulcie left, Silvia checked the remaining amount of money that she could use. It was just slightly over fifty million dollars.

She called the staff of the Finance Department over. Then, she transferred the fifty million dollars to the company account. “I’m loaning this money to the company. The company can pay me back at the end of the year once the dividend is paid,” she said aloofly.

“Okay, Miss Pond.”

After the staff left, Silvia continued reading the other documents.

Darrion lost his temper in his office. He could not accept things as they were. He hesitated for a long time before he gave Sigwald Reed a call.

“Mr. Reed, are you free at noon? Let’s have lunch together.”

The moment Sigwald walked into the private room at noon, Darrion stood up and greeted him enthusiastically, “Mr. Reed, please have a seat!”

Sigwald was all smiles. After he sat down, he looked at Darrion and said, “Mr. Torres, you invited me to have lunch so far away from the company. I guess there’s something really important.”

Darrion had a pleasing smile as he nodded and said, “You know me so well, Mr. Reed. You’re probably aware that Miss Pond took action against me this morning, right?”

Sigwald took a sip of coffee before he calmly said, “Mr. Torres, that is just Miss Pond’s strategic plan for the company’s next phase of development.

It’s very normal to fire a few people in the process.”

Besides, Darrion’s relatives knew nothing about work and just dawdled around every day. Sigwald did not see a problem with the firing.

Darrion chuckled awkwardly. “You’re right, Mr. Reed. But do you think that Miss Pond will only fire my subordinates?”

Sigwald held the cup more tightly, but he did not answer.

Darrion resumed, “Mr. Reed, I’ve always thought that you were the most capable among the shareholders. Even if Miss Pond holds the most shares, she’s young and more impulsive. I would prefer to have you manage MY Corporation.”

“What are you trying to say?”

“I heard that Miss Pond has been contacting Mr. Walls from Denson Corporation, but she hasn’t been able to secure the deal. Since you’re so capable, you must be able to help MY Corporation sign a contract with Denson Corporation. What do you think, Mr. Reed?”

Sigwald remained silent for a while before he said, “Let me think about it.”

...

When night came, Silvia punched out and returned to her mansion in North City. However, she was stopped by Neil.

He looked down at her with arrogance and rage-filled eyes. “Silvia Pond, even if you’re trying to make a fuss, there should be a limit! You’re staying in another man’s house every day. Don’t you care about the reputation of the Pond Family and Remus Family?”

Silvia sneered. “How shameless are you to say that to me? When you and Ada dated in our house, did you consider our families’ reputation?”

Neil’s eyes were full of annoyance. “I’ve told you that nothing ever happened between Ada and me!”

“Your relationship status is none of my business. We’re getting a divorce, anyway.”

“I already tore up the divorce papers. I’ll just think of it as something you said in a moment of anger. Come back with me now. I’ll pretend as if nothing happened.”

Silvia frowned. “Neil Remus, why are you refusing to divorce me? Have you fallen for me?”

When Neil heard this, his expression was cold. He gave her a scornful look.

“Do you think that’s possible?”

“Since it’s impossible, stop wasting my time. We should split up as soon as possible while I’m still young. That way, I can find another man.”

When Neil saw her impatience, he expressed his displeasure and subconsciously frowned.

“Are you still thinking about finding another man?”

“Why not?” Silvia looked at him with disinterest. “What’s the difference between staying with you and being a widow? I’m going to find my own happiness.”

Neil was speechless.

Anger instantly consumed him. He could not hold it back no matter what.

He was sure that he did not love Silvia, yet she could easily trigger his irrational anger.

Clearly displeased, he said through his gritted teeth, “It’s possible for you to divorce me. But you’ll have to pay me for wasting my youth on you for the past few years!”

Chapter 20 Silvia was totally baffled.

Neil saw how Silvia was staring at him like he was insane. “If you can give me a compensation of fifty million dollars, I’ll agree to the divorce,” he said coldly.

Silvia remained silent for a few seconds before she looked at Neil with a serious expression. “Are you sure that you’ll divorce me if I pay you fifty million dollars?”

“Yes, but you can’t use the money that I gave you.”

Silvia had lived with the Remus Family these past few years. When she married Neil, he gave her a black card with unlimited spending, but she never used it.

On his birthdays, she would hand make his gifts, so Neil thought that she would not be able to produce so much money.

Silvia remained silent for a few seconds before she nodded and said, “Okay, I’m fine with it.”

“I’m only giving you a week. If you can’t pay me fifty million dollars in a week, don’t even mention the divorce again!”

Silvia frowned. “Neil Remus, isn’t your condition too harsh?”

Neil scoffed. “You’re the one who asked for the divorce. Now that I’m giving you a chance, you’re unhappy. Silvia Pond, I wonder if you’re playing hard to get.”

Silvia rolled her eyes. “One week then. Can you get out of here now?” she said curtly.

When Neil saw the annoyance in her eyes, he added, “Before we divorce, you have to move back in.”

“Neil Remus, don’t push it!”
