Chapter 31
“When did you get back, Silvia? I’ve been calling you over and over, but none of my calls
have gone through. I’ve been so worried. Where have you been the past two weeks?!”
Silvia explained, “I accidentally dropped my phone, and it broke. I haven’t had the chance
to buy a new one yet. I’ll ask Joe to get me a replacement SIM card later.”
“Alright. A lot has been happening in Ryoln City. Since Liam took over Remus Corporation,
he’s rejected all our previous agreements with the company. We’re currently working on
new proposals to find new clients, and it’s been hectic. Thank goodness, you’re back.”
Silvia halted in her steps and turned to Dulcie with a frown.
“Did you just say Liam has taken over Remus Corporation?”
Dulcie nodded. “Yes. Neil was falsely accused of embezzling company funds and tax
evasion. They held him in the police station for several days before they released him.
Didn’t you know?”
Silvia fell silent and said, “Dulcie, I’m heading back to my office. Inform the other
shareholders that we’ll be having a meeting in the conference room in two hours.”
After that, she left.
Dulcie felt puzzled as she watched Silvia leave in a rush. After all, Silvia was supposed to
be the first to know about Remus Corporation’s new president. Why was she unaware of
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtit?
Once Silvia was in her office, she immediately searched for news on Remus Corporation
online. Soon, she came across reports stating that Liam had taken over as president of
Remus Corporation. Meanwhile, Neil had been implicated in embezzlement and tax
evasion.
She frowned as she read the news. When she brought Abalene to Lumont City after the
assassination attempt, Neil happened to be detained at the same time. No wonder he did
not answer when she called him in Lumont City.
Silvia subconsciously tightened her grip on the mouse as an inexplicable feeling filled her
heart.
He was dealing with such a serious issue, yet he did not say anything to her.
Then again, she never gave him the chance.
After a while, Silvia closed the webpage. Whatever mess he was in, it was not her problem
anymore.
Joe quickly helped her in acquiring a new SIM card and phone in the afternoon.
When Silvia inserted the card and turned on the new phone, she received numerous
missed calls and unread messages. Some were from Dulcie and Isla, but most were from
one person. She pursed her lips and opened the unread messages.
After her phone was damaged, she received dozens of messages asking where she was
and urging her to call back. She got them every day from morning till night.
Silvia read each message word by word and deleted each of them. However, she had a
tough

time calming down.
She set her phone aside and sighed lightly.
Through Neil’s messages, she could sense his genuine concern for her. However, it was
undeniable that he could not cut ties with Ada.
The desperation she felt on the cruise ship was something she never wanted to
experience again in her life.
In the evening, just as Silvia left her office and reached the company’s entrance, Melanie
approached her.
“Silvia, where have you taken Madam Remus?! Both of you disappeared together. Why are
you back unscathed, while she’s missing in action?!”
Melanie’s eyes burned with fury, and she looked at Silvia as if she were a murderer.
They needed Abalene’s forty percent and Neil’s ten percent of the shares to oust Liam
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmfrom his current position. Therefore, Melanie was hoping that Abalene would show up
immediately. Silvia frowned and coldly said, “Madam Remus is currently recovering in a
safe place. She’ll be back in two weeks.”
She had already told Neil about this. Did he not inform Melanie?
“Two weeks?!”
Melanie raised her voice. “I can’t wait that long! You better tell me where she is right now,
or else, I won’t let you off the hook!”
Abalene was incredibly weak. If she did not recover well, she could have long–term health
problems, and her overall health would decline sharply.
At that thought, Silvia replied impassively, “It has to be two weeks. It’s your problem if you
can’t wait that long.”
Seeing that Silvia was about to leave, Melanie raised her hand to slap her.
Silvia’s gaze turned cold, but before she could do anything, someone stopped Melanie.
Melanie’s anger intensified when she realized that it was Neil. “Are you still trying to
defend her?! Your grandmother’s safety aside, Liam would’ve already transferred all the
assets after two weeks. Even if you regain control of Remus Corporation, it’ll be an empty
shell!” she yelled.
Neil had a look of displeasure, and he said, “Since she insists that it has to be two weeks,
she must have her reasons. I trust her!”
Hearing his determined tone, Silvia’s calm facade cracked a little, and she instinctively
clenched her fists.
