Justus immediately shook his head. “No… I was just joking. Miss Pond, you’re a merciful
person. Please don’t hold this against me…” He even started to slap himself in the face as
he spoke. Silvia stared at him emotionlessly. When Justus’s face eventually turned red
from the slaps, she moved her leg away and left without a care. Justus’s eyes had initially
been filled with fear. But now, his gaze was ruthless as he stared at Silvia’s back. He would
make her pay for today! He would not spare her! Seeing that Silvia had left, Neil turned
around and went upstairs. He appeared indifferent, but he was secretly suspicious of
Silvia. Perhaps he should ask Curtis to dig deeper into her background. He knew that Silvia
was the daughter that the Pond Family had lost for sixteen years. She was also Ada’s twin
sister. During their three-year marriage, she had done her best to take care of him. She
was no different from an ordinary woman in that respect. But she really surprised him
today! David was equally shocked. He looked at Neil and said, “Neil, Silvia just hit him.
Justus is a vindictive person, so he’ll definitely cause her trouble. Aren’t you planning to
get involved?” Neil did not seem to care. “She won’t ask me for help. Why should I poke
my nose in her business?” “She’s your wife.” His expression seemed to grow colder when
he heard this. “Perhaps she won’t be after some time,” he said. David had a look of
surprise. “Are you planning to divorce her and get together with Ada again?” Neil did not
answer, so David took his silence as an admission. “You’ve liked Ada from the start, so a
divorce will be good for you and Silvia.” “Silvia’s the one who asked for the divorce.” David
was truly taken aback this time. After all, throughout their three years of marriage, all of
them had seen how much Silvia liked Neil. She was incredibly fond of him. Why would she
ask for a divorce? “Are you sure? Since she’s asking for a divorce, why are you still
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇthesitating? Is it because she’s asking for too much alimony?” David’s words annoyed Neil
even further. “What does it matter to you? Have you settled your affair with that
celebrity?” He glared at David. David fell silent. The two of them then walked into a
private room. Henry and Ryan were waiting there. When Henry saw Neil’s gloomy face, he
asked, “Neil, why are you upset?” Neil did not reply. “Someone’s unhappy because his wife
wants a divorce. Don’t ask about it,” David teased from the back. Henry was taken aback
for a while before he said, “Let’s enjoy the meal. Forget about the things that make us
unhappy.” They did not feel optimistic about Neil and Silvia’s marriage, especially now
that Ada was back. A crisis was approaching their marriage. Ryan looked down in silence.
Nob*dy noticed that he subconsciously tightened his grip on his glass. After dinner, Henry
and David suggested that they go for a drink at Imperial Palace, a luxurious bar. “You guys
go ahead. I still have things to do tonight.” Once Neil left, Ryan said that he had to go
home as well. Henry looked at David. “They all have things to do. Shall we just go to any
bar for a drink?” David smiled and shook his head. “I have a date with my girlfriend. You’re
on your own here.” Henry was speechless. After a few seconds, he looked at David and
said, “You’re never without a girlfriend. She’s not a celebrity this time, is she?” “Nope. I’ll
bring her over and introduce you next time.” “Wow. Are you serious this time?” “I’m
always serious when it comes to relationships.” Henry rolled his eyes at David. “Fine. Go
ahead. I’ll head home too. How boring!” … It was already 9:00 p.m. when Neil returned to
the mansion. The moment he walked in, he saw Silvia leaving with a bag. She had
changed into some sportswear and tied her hair in a ponytail. She looked capable and
pretty. “It’s so late. Where are you going?” Silvia did not expect to see him back home at
this time. She was startled for a moment, but she spoke indifferently, “I have something to
do. I won’t be around for a few days.” Neil instantly grabbed her arm as he stared at her
fiercely. “Silvia Pond, don’t forget that you’re still married! It’s late. You’re not allowed to
go out no matter what!” Silvia swung his hand away impatiently. “What does that have to
do with you? Didn’t you used to always go away for a long time? I agreed to come back to
the mansion, but that doesn’t mean you can interfere with my personal life!” She lowered
her head and glanced at her watch. It was almost time to meet up with Condor. “If you
don’t tell me why you’re going out, I won’t let you step out of this mansion today!” Silvia
raised her head and stared at him as she sternly said, “Get lost.” Neil did not speak. He
just looked into her eyes with his deep and cold gaze. He had witnessed Silvia’s martial
arts skills today. Although she was talented, his skills were not inferior to hers. If she
fought him, he could question her about when she learned martial arts. Silvia looked at
him expressionlessly. Just as he was about to speak, he heard a light sound of “ting”. He
frowned in confusion. All of a sudden, Silvia started counting down. “Three! “Two! “One!”
The moment Silvia uttered the last number, Neil became unconscious. She dragged him to
the couch and left without turning back. When Neil woke up, it was already the next
morning. Neil massaged his forehead and suddenly recalled what had happened. He
opened his sharp eyes and glanced around. He subconsciously scowled when he failed to
find Silvia. He called Curtis immediately. “Find out where Silvia is right now!” Meanwhile, a
team of people was moving deeper into the rainforest. Everyone walked with haste. There
were about a dozen of them. They were also dressed in camouflage uniforms. Everyone
had injuries of varying degrees, but no one was out of commission. This meant that it was
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏma well-trained team. The leader brought everyone to a riverside before he told those at the
back, “We’ll be safe after we cross the river.” After he spoke, they suddenly heard a
gunshot from afar. Right then, a bullet shot right through the leader’s forehead. Bang! As
their leader dropped to the ground, they kept hearing gunshots around them. In the blink
of an eye, only about five out of the dozen people were left. “Jump into the river now!”
With the sounds of “splash”, the river became cloudy after that. Silvia stood still as she
stared at the river’s surface. She was so focused that she looked like a statue. At this time,
she heard Condor’s low and deep voice in her earphones. “Iris, our main mission is to kill
Scorpion. The rest are just lackeys. They ‘re not important. Get ready to pull back.” Silvia
frowned. She had always been a stickler for getting rid of everyone. However, Condor was
the commander in this mission. Since he ordered her to pull back, she could only agree.
She put away her gun. As she turned to leave, she suddenly heard Condor’s anxious voice
from her earphones. “Watch out!” Silvia sensed danger too and promptly moved to the
side. A bullet flew past her cheek and instantly left a scar. She turned around and fired a
shot in the direction where the bullet had come from. She was so fast that her enemy fell
to the ground with his eyes wide open. He died before he could fire the second shot.
Condor whistled and complimented her through her earphones. “You’re definitely Iris!
You’re as speedy as always!” Silvia sounded indifferent. “I still have things to do. Just
transfer the commission to my account.” After she spoke, she cut off communication. …
Neil had instructed his staff to track Silvia for three days, but they had failed to pinpoint
her location. For three days, his mood kept getting worse and worse. Everyone in the
company was too afraid to approach him. “Mr. Remus, this is what I’ve found on Miss
Pond…” Neil took the document and fl*pped it open. The information was no different from
what he could find. He threw the document on the desk in dissatisfaction. “Is this all you
have after three days?”
