Mr. Remus, Your Billionaire Wife Wants a Divorce novel Chapter 16

Curtis lowered his head guiltily. “Mr. Remus, we’re still searching. Shortly after Miss Silvia left the mansion, she disappeared from the surveillance camera. Tracking her down has been challenging. As of now, we haven’t been able to pinpoint her exact location.”

“Keep searching!”

Once Curtis left, Neil’s frustration grew. He could no longer concentrate on the documents.

……

It was past midnight when Silvia returned to her mansion in North City.

She barely had the energy to open the door. Unfortunately, her legs gave way as soon as she stepped inside. As such, she collapsed on the floor.

Suddenly, someone grabbed her by the waist. Silvia wanted to see who it was, but she lacked the energy to open her eyes.

Just before she lost consciousness, she heard a faint sigh.

When Silvia regained consciousness, she noticed that someone had tended to her injuries. She sat up, put on her pajamas, and slowly walked outside.

She was drenched in sweat by the time she got downstairs.

Hearing voices from the kitchen, she headed in that direction and saw Chris walking out with a bowl of chicken soup.

Chris was surprised to see Silvia. He quickly put the bowl on a table and rushed over to support her.

“The doctor said you need to—”

Before he could finish, Silvia pressed a dagger against his throat.

“Why are you here?!”

Silvia sounded cold unlike her usual self.

She had already told Chris not to come again. Yet, he showed up after she got injured last night. It was too much of a coincidence.

Chris was stunned before he explained, “I left a script here. When I returned to retrieve it, I saw you collapse. I realized you were injured after I helped you up, so I called a doctor to tend to your wounds.”

Seeing that Silvia was still doubtful, he helplessly said, “If I really wanted to harm you, do you think you’d still be alive right now?”

After a brief silence, Silvia finally lowered the dagger. She looked at him apologetically and said, “I’m sorry for misunderstanding you.”

Chris smiled. “It’s alright. Also, you don’t have to worry. I won’t ask you about anything. The doctor will keep this a secret too.”

“Okay.”

Once Chris noticed that Silvia had finally lowered her defenses, he brought her the bowl of chicken soup and said, “Have some soup first. You lost a lot of blood, so you need to regain your strength.”

“Thank you.”

As Silvia sipped on the soup, the doorbell suddenly rang.

Chris walked over to the door and saw Neil outside. A cunning look flashed in his eyes, but he quickly opened the door.

“Mr. Remus, Silvia is—”

Chris did not get to finish his sentence as Neil pushed him aside and entered.

Neil’s expression turned cold when he spotted Silvia. “Silvia Pond! You’ve been missing for days because you’ve been with your boy toy the whole time?!”

Before Silvia could respond, Chris explained, “Mr. Remus, please don’t misunderstand. Silvia—”

“I’m not talking to you! Is Silvia mute? Why do you need to speak on her behalf?!” Neil cut him off in a chilly tone.

Chris’s expression darkened. He frowned and said, “You’re Silvia’s husband, but you seem unaware of what she’s been through the past few—”

“Chris!”

Taking a deep breath, Silvia calmly gazed at him and said, “Thank you for taking care of me. You can leave now. I’ll treat you to dinner someday as a token of my gratitude.”

Disappointment crossed Chris’s eyes, but he nodded and said, “Alright. Take care and rest well.”
