Chapter 284
Jake glared at Melanie and said, “Stop being paranoid all the time. Go on a vacation if you
have nothing better to do. I have work, and I don’t have time for idle chatter.”
Seeing that he was about to leave, Melanie quickly stopped him.
“No. I have to make sure that Neil cuts ties with Silvia. Otherwise, he’ll die because of her
one day!”
“Can’t you stop causing unnecessary trouble?! Neil already has enough on his plate with
Liam joining the company. Yet, you’re still here stirring things up!”
She stared at Jake and angrily said, “How am I causing unnecessary trouble?! Jake Remus,
all you care about is Remus Corporation! Don’t you care about your son?!”
“I don’t want to waste my time arguing with you. Do whatever you want!”
He left immediately after.
“Jake, stop! Come back!”
No matter how many times Melanie shouted, he never looked back.
Their marriage had primarily been a business arrangement, and Melanie knew that Jake
did not love her. Once she gave birth to Neil and Evie, Jake no longer slept with her.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtOver the years, she argued with Jake about this, but it only drove them further apart. They
just pretended to get along on the surface.
Neil was her source of pride, and she would not allow anyone to affect his success.
If she approached him and asked him to cut ties with Silvia, he would probably not comply.
She needed to think of an alternative solution.
The following morning, Sigwald entered Silvia’s office as soon as she reached the
company.
After she heard his appeal, she responded apathetically, “So, you’re asking me to forgive
the criminal who almost killed me, Mr. Reed?”
“Miss Pond, I understand that Leroy acted recklessly and made a mistake, but if he gets
caught, Dulcie will be left with no family. As Dulcie’s good friend, you wouldn’t want that to
happen, would you?”
Silvia chuckled. “Mr. Reed, perhaps you’re mistaken about something.”
“What?”
“Leroy committed a crime. My forgiveness isn’t the main concern here. Even if I do forgive
him, he’ll still face punishment. Plus, he’s not the only one. The mastermind behind him
will face legal consequences too!”
Sensing an underlying meaning in her words, Sigwald’s expression darkened.
“Miss Pond, you should show kindness when necessary. Why are you being so heartless?”
Silvia’s gaze turned cold. “Tell that to your lawyer. By the way, you don’t need to oversee
the company’s fabrics anymore, Mr. Reed. Just focus on after–sales.”
(Chapter 284
His face turned red with rage. “Why the sudden change, Miss Pond? Have I done
something wrong? Are you removing me from my position?!”
“You’ve gotten it wrong, Mr. Reed. It’s just that I can handle this, so I’m thinking of taking
over. Besides, I’ve gathered some customer reviews, and it seems that MY Corporation has
bad after–sales service. I hope you’ll pay more attention to it.”
“Hmph. Fine, you win for now! Just you wait and see!”
Sigwald stormed out and slammed the door of her office shut.
Silvia ignored him and continued to read her documents.
When it was about time to clock out, Neil gave her a call.
“My grandmother wants us to join her for dinner at Harmony Yard.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSilvia was surprised. “Does she know that we’ve gotten back together?”
“Yeah, I’ve told her.”
She was speechless.
Since she was not responding, Neil continued, “What’s wrong? You don’t seem happy.”
She rubbed her temples in resignation and asked, “Should I be happy?”
She had initially planned to spend some time with Neil first. She would only make their
relationship public once things were more stable. Unexpectedly, he was so eager for
others to
know.
“If it’s making you uncomfortable, I’ll explain it to Grandma. We can postpone dinner to
another day.”
“No. Today is fine. Pick me up after work.”
“Sure.”
After the call ended, Silvia did not dwell on the matter and continued working.
Once it was time to leave the office, she promptly packed her belongings.
Right before she went downstairs, she applied some lipstick.
