Chapter 128
Silvia frowned. After a hectic day, she had completely forgotten about the dinner party.
“Give me five minutes.”
She quickly organized her things and reached Neil’s car precisely five minutes later.
As soon as she got in, she noticed his somewhat disapproving expression.
“What’s the matter?”
“Are you planning to attend the party dressed like that?”
Silvia looked at her attire. She had worn a simple sl*p dress and paired it with a blazer. It
was a very common outfit.
“Can’t I go to the party in this outfit?”
Neil fell silent for a moment before he said, “Mr. Sayer, take us to the mall.”
She frowned. “Mr. Remus, it’s just a dinner party. I don’t need to buy a new outfi
“You’re the focus of the party, so you need to be the most stunning one there!”
Seeing his resolve, she realized that he would not budge even if she said no. So, she

the argument.
Half an hour later, Silvia walked into the mall as Curtis pushed Neil along.
Despite his reliance on a wheelchair, Neil’s striking appearance still drew the attention of
many women. A few even considered approaching him to ask for his number, but as soon
as they caught a glimpse of his icy stare, they thought better of it.
Although he was handsome, he seemed to have a horrible temper.
“Where are we heading, Mr. Remus?”
“To JM.”
Silvia hesitated. “A–Aren’t other stores better?”
“JM’s dresses seem to suit you more.”
Noticing how calm he was, she asked, “It looks like
women. How else would you know what suits me?‘re experienced in selecting dresses for
Neil glanced at her. “Are you jealous?”
“Jealous? Not at all. Rest assured, Mr. Remus. I’ve always remembered your advice to not
have any unrealistic expectations.”
His expression darkened significantly, and they reached JM in silence.
Kimberly walked up to greet them, and she was surprised to see Silvia.
Silvia winked at Kimberly discreetly, and she immediately understood. She smiled and
said, “Mr. Remus, Miss Pond, please come in.”
Neil appeared unfamiliar with the store, and Silvia noticed this. She glanced at him and
asked, ” You’ve never been here before, Mr. Remus?”
“No,” he answered indifferently.
His response puzzled her. If Neil had not been there before, how did he know that JM’s
dresses would
suit her?
Seeing her confusion, Curtis smiled and explained, “JM hosted a fashion show in Ryoln City
before, and Mr. Remus attended it. He thought that JM’s clothing would be a good fit for
you, Miss Pond.”

“I see.
Kimberly wore a polite smile and earnestly introduced the store’s dresses to Neil. She also
took the opportunity to commend Elia, the designer. Silvia blushed as she listened to her.
While Neil had no idea that Silvia was Elia, she still felt a little embarrassed as she listened
to Kimberly’s praises. It felt like Kimberly was boasting about her accomplishments.
“Have her try on these dresses.”
“Of course, Mr. Remus.”
Kimberly picked out the dresses and spoke with a smile, “Miss Pond, these dresses can be
a bit tricky to put on. I’ll assist you in the fitting room.”
Silvia nodded. “Sure.”
As they entered the fitting room, Kimberly softly asked, “Boss, what’s your relationship
with Mr. Remus? He doesn’t know your true identity?”
“Yeah. I can tell you about my relationship with him, but don’t be surprised, okay?”
They were close friends. Since Kimberly asked, Silvia did not feel the need to hide it. Her
relationship with Neil was already somewhat public, anyway.
“Don’t worry. I won’t be surprised unless you tell me he’s your husband.”
“Well, you’re right. He’s my husband.”
“What?!”
