Silvia abruptly turned around and glared at him. âWhat are you trying to say?â
âAs long as you join me for the meal, Iâll give the project to the Pond family.â
After she had brief eye contact with Neil, a smile suddenly crossed her face. âMr. Remus, youâre saying that one dinner with you is equivalent to an entire project for the Pond family? It sounds like our familyâs taking a big advantage of you, isnât it?â
Neil sensed that Silvia had more to say as he stared at her.
Just as he had expected, her smile soon turned into a sneer.
âWith such a great deal on the table, Iâm sure everyone from the Pond family would love to join you for this meal. Why donât you invite them instead?â
Silvia opened the car door and stepped out. Neilâs gaze remained icy as she walked away. âSilvia, if Dulcie insists on pursuing the matter with Snow, Henry might lose his patience. Things wonât turn out well for her either!â
Silvia could no longer hold back, and she turned around to give Neil a piercing look.
âIt doesnât matter. Just because Dulcie and I arenât as powerful as Henry, weâre supposed to hold back when Snow insults us? Is that what youâre saying?â
Neil fell silent for a moment before he said, âIf thereâs a way to resolve this peacefully, why escalate the situation?â
Silvia took a deep breath and looked him in the eyes. âYou only want to end this peacefully because Henryâs your friend. I donât blame you for taking his side, but donât try to force your perspective on me.â
Neil felt that she was being unreasonable. âSilvia, Henryâs willing to pay compensation for the dress. He and Snow are willing to apologize too. What more do you want from them?â
She had spent a whole month designing that dress, and she really looked forward to seeing Dulcie in it.
However, not only did Snow steal Dulcieâs boyfriend, but she also paraded around in that very dress. She even damaged it on purpose. Silvia could not let this slide!
âIf someone ruined Adaâs dress, could you still remain calm and say that?â
When Neil had no retort, Silvia sneered. âThe truth is, Iâm insignificant to you unlike Ada. You think just because I used to like you, it gives you the right to hurt me whenever you want to?â
The two words âused toâ instantly triggered him. He could feel a surge of anger welling up within him.
âWhat do you want them to do then?â
Silvia stared at him as disappointment filled her eyes. She started to question how she could have ever fallen for Neil in the past.
âYou shouldnât ask me that. You should ask Dulcie.â
With that, Silvia left.
That night, she went straight back to her mansion in North City. They were now giving each other the silent treatment.
Silviaâs life did not change much. In fact, her mood actually improved without Neil around.
A week later, Dulcie paid her a visit.
âSil, Henryâs secretary contacted me. He said that Henry and Snow want to offer me a settlement. Snowâs willing to apologize to me as well.â
Sensing that Dulcie was feeling conflicted, Silvia smiled and asked, âSo, what do you think about it?â
âWell, at first, I just wanted Snow to apologize to me.â
Silvia nodded and said, âOkay, then go with your plan. But donât accept her apology too easily. Itâll be better if you can make sure that sheâs really learned a lesson.â
âYeah. Iâve thought about it. Iâll ask her to apologize on the largest advertising screen in Ryoln City.â
âGood idea. I support you.â
With Silviaâs support, Dulcie finally felt relieved. She looked at Silvia with a hint of guilt and said, âI feel bad that the dress has been ruined. If only I had been more careful back then.â
Silvia nonchalantly replied, âWell, since Snow already wore it, youâd probably feel uncomfortable wearing it again even if you got it back. At least, you can make her pay you for ruining it now.â
âBut I still feel bad. You worked so hard on it.â
âWell, you can buy me a meal to make up for it!â

When she learned about the public apology she had to make, Snow got so angry that she smashed everything in her living room.
