Once silence returned to the office, Neil put the document down and slowly closed his red eyes. A tear rolled down his cheek.
He leaned his forehead against his arms in exhaustion.
It had been almost half a month since Liam set Silvia on fire, but Neil had yet to accept it.
He leaned back in his chair with his eyes closed for a long time. Then, he grabbed his coat and left Remus Corporation in a hurry.
Only a few people attended Silviaâs funeral. They included Dulcie, Winston, and a few employees from MY Corporation. None of the Pond Family members came.
Hugging the funerary urn, Dulcieâs eyes were red as she cursed, âHow ungrateful of the Pond Family! Sil shouldâve never gone back to them. Neil too!
When Liam caught Sil and Ada, he asked Neil to pick one to save, but Neil picked that b*tch, Ada! I never want to see him again!â
Winstonâs eyes were bloodshot too as he subconsciously clenched his fists.
âI was afraid that he might let Silvia down when she took the Hundred Poison Pill to save Madam Remus. But I didnât expect him to be such a sc*mbag!â
Suddenly, they heard a cold voice from the door.
âWhat about the Hundred Poison Pill?!â
Both of them turned around and saw Neil standing at the door. He looked put together as if Silviaâs death had no effect on him.
Dulcie gritted her teeth. âGet lost! Donât disgust us!â
Great fury and hatred engulfed her at the thought of Neil abandoning Silvia and killing her for Ada. She would have slapped Neil to vent her anger if they were not at Silviaâs funeral.
Neil ignored her. He walked up to Winston and stared at him. âWhat about the Hundred Poison Pill?â
Gloominess shone in his deep-set eyes, but no one could tell what he really felt.
Winston sneered. âWhatâs the use of asking about that now, Mr. Remus? Silviaâs dead. She wonât come back to life even if I tell you.â
Neil stared at Winston menacingly. âYou have two choices, Dr. Russell. Tell me the truth, or forget about running your clinic tomorrow.â
âSilvia would regret doing so much for you if she knew how you threatened me.â
âThis is your last chance. Tell me now. Otherwise, donât even think about opening your mouth in the future.â
Neil was rooted to the spot. All emotions left him except for despair.

At some point, there was a downpour. Neil staggered into the rain in a desolate and pathetic manner.
After the funeral, Dulcie and Winston buried the urn in a cemetery plot that they had bought. They stood there a while before they left.
Meanwhile, Ada had given birth to her baby, and she was resting in Pond Mansion.
Excitement gripped her when she learned that Silviaâs funeral was being held. Silvia could no longer snatch Neil from her.
