Silvia frowned as she looked at Neil.
He was furious. He had only stepped away for a while, but she was already having a meal with another man. If he had arrived any later, both of them might have gotten themselves a room!
He sat beside Silvia and sneered at Chris.
Not one to back down, Chris met his gaze with a confident smile and said, âMr. Remus, Silviaâs a good friend of mine, and I treat her problems as my own. Iâm here to help whenever she needs it.â
Neil scowled. âI never thought youâd be so eager to get involved in another familyâs business. Instead of doing that, Iâd suggest you spend more time honing your acting skills and less time poking your nose where it doesnât belong.â
âMy acting skills are none of your concern, Mr. Remus.â
They glared at each other, and neither was willing to back down.
Sensing the tension in the air, Silvia furrowed her brows even more. She turned to Neil and said, âMr. Remus, if youâre here to stir up trouble, you can leave.â
Neilâs anger flared up instantly, and he snapped. âSilvia, your sugar baby is clearly trying to drive a wedge between us. Iâm not the one causing trouble. Itâs him!â
Silviaâs eyes remained cold. âFirst of all, Chris isnât my sugar baby. Heâs my friend. Show some respect. Second of all, we donât need anyone driving a wedge between us. We both know how things really are.â
Neil scoffed. He grabbed Silviaâs hand and pulled her toward the door.
All of a sudden, Chris grabbed Silviaâs other hand.
âMr. Remus, didnât you notice that Silvia almost stumbled?â
Seeing how Neil treated Silvia, anger welled up inside him. Chris could not believe that she had sacrificed her career to marry such a man.
If she were to marry him, he would protect her from unfair treatment and pain instead of being so uncaring.
When Neil turned around and saw Chris holding her hand, his eyes filled with anger.
Mr. Remus, Your Billionaire Wife Wants a Divorce âLet go! If not, Iâll break your hand!â
Chris remained undaunted by Neilâs threat and firmly said, âYouâre the one who should let go!â
Their tense confrontation quickly drew the attention of the restaurantâs customers.
Silvia could not take it anymore. All she had wanted was a peaceful meal, but the situation had escalated far beyond her expectations.
After a brief silence, she shook off their hands and quickly left the restaurant.
Just as she reached the elevator, Neil caught up to her.
âSilvia, you never listen to me, do you? You wonât learn unless I teach you a lesson, is that it?â
He took out his phone and called Curtis. âIdentify the projects that Chris Rios has recently signed on for, or any that are about to be released. Thenââ
Neil did not get to finish his instructions because Silvia snatched his phone away.
She immediately ended the call and said with a sneer, âNeil Remus, is this the best you can come up with? Youâre stooping pretty low with this tactic.â
He exuded a menacing aura and spoke expressionlessly, âDo you think this will stop me from attacking him? Unless youâre prepared to keep me under surveillance 24/7, Iâll find an opportunity to make him vanish from the entertainment industry!â
Silvia frowned in response. She was about to retort when Chrisâs cold voice rang out behind her.
âSilvia, you donât have to worry about this. Iâm curious to see how Mr. Remus plans to make me vanish from the entertainment industry!â
She turned to Chris and whispered, âThis is between me and him. I donât want to drag you into it and cause you trouble.â
Neil was clearly taking his anger out on Chris. The latter had worked for years to become a famous actor, and she did not want to see it all go to waste because of her.
Chris smiled and said, âIâm not afraid, and I donât believe Mr. Remus can control everything.â
Neil sneered. âWeâll just have to wait and see!â
