Ryan seemed to disappear from the public eye over the next few days. Anderson Corporation and the Anderson Family also kept a low profile.
However, rumors about Neil suddenly started to spread. Some said that he was responsible for Anderson Corporationâs downfall.
Everyone in Ryoln Cityâs upper-class society knew about Ryan and Neilâs long friendship. When they learned about Neilâs actions against Anderson Corporation, they began gossiping about it.
âI didnât expect Mr. Remus to be like that. He seems to value profit, even if it means betraying his friend!â
âWell, businessmen care about money. Whatâs friendship compared to money? Money is the most important thing!â
âIf I were Ryan, Iâd probably resent Neil. He pretended to be a good friend but betrayed him in secret.â
The rumors reached Neil, and there was even talk about it in Remus Corporation.
When Curtis caught wind of this, he fired the employees who spoke ill of Neil. No one in the company dared to discuss it anymore.
âMr. Remus, the rumors are getting out of hand. Should we release a statement to clarify things?â
Neil remained indifferent. âWhatâs there to clarify? Itâs true that I dealt with Anderson Corporation.â
Curtis frowned. âBut you went after it because Mr. Anderson prompted your divorce with Miss Pond. Youâve never betrayed him!â
Neil looked at him and coldly asked, âGuess whoâs spreading these rumors behind the scenes?â
Curtis was momentarily stunned before he cautiously replied, âIs it Mr. Anderson?â
âBingo! These rumors will make others sympathize with him, and thatâs good for Anderson Corporation.â
Curtis got angry the moment he heard this. âThatâs too much. Heâs clearly using your current reputation to secure deals with other partners.â
Ryan was playing the victim card to gain sympathy from potential business partners and make negotiations easier.
Neil stayed calm. âDonât worry about it. If he manages to use this opportunity to make a comeback, itâll show that heâs capable.â
Those potential business partners were not fools. Even if they felt sorry for Ryan, they would turn away the moment Anderson Corporation could not benefit them. Everyone prioritized their own interests after all.
âMr. Remus, youâre being too nice to Mr. Anderson.â
âThatâs enough. Get back to your work.â
After Curtis left, Neil picked up a document and continued going through it. The incident did not seem to bother him.
Since they were divorced, whatever happened to him did not concern her.
However, when she tried to read through some documents, she struggled to focus.
Half an hour later, she only managed to go through three pages. She gave up and decided to do other work.
Just as was about to ask Joe to inform the shareholders of a meeting, her phone rang.
Seeing that it was a call from Ryan, she refused to answer.
However, he persisted and called several times, so she eventually picked up.
âDo you need something, Mr. Anderson?â
His dejected voice soon came through. âSilvia, do you hate me now?â
Following a brief silence, Ryan said with resignation, âI wonder if weâll have a chance to meet in the future.â
âWhat do you mean?â
