Mr. Remus, Your Billionaire Wife Wants a Divorce novel Chapter 17

Silvia frowned as she looked at Neil. He had been getting on her nerves. “Neil, can you please stop bothering me? I know I was wrong for marrying you without your consent, but I’ve made it up to you by treating your legs. I don’t recall doing anything wrong in our marriage in the past three years. I want to get a divorce and live my own life now. Is that unreasonable?”

Neil’s pupils contracted with anger. After a few seconds, he clenched his teeth and said, “I’ve told you that I’ll never get a divorce!

“I’ve done some investigation. You weren’t with Chris Rios on the days you went missing, so where were you? Besides, how did you get that fifty million? If you don’t want me to keep digging, return to the mansion with me right now!”

Silvia subconsciously clenched her fists. She did not want to go back with him, but she did not want him to continue digging either. Having no choice, she shrugged off his hand and entered the car.

They were silent during the ride back.

Silvia’s irritation was palpable. She could not figure out what was wrong with Neil.

She thought he would eagerly get the divorce certificate after she agreed to divorce him.

His refusal to divorce her only made both of them suffer.

Silvia headed for the stairs once they reached the mansion. Just then, she heard Neil speak.

“Your grandfather’s birthday is the day after tomorrow. I happened to bid on a pair of antique vases recently. Why don’t we give them to him as a birthday gift?”

Silvia turned to him indifferently. “You don’t have to ask me. Just do as you please.”

Neil frowned. “He’s your grandfather after all. You—”

“It doesn’t matter.”

There was a hint of ridicule in Silvia’s eyes. “We’re just related by blood.”

Nobody in the Pond Family regarded her as a part of the family. In this case, she would not be bothered to please them.

“In any case, we need to attend his birthday party together.”

“I get it.”

After she gave him an apathetic reply, Silvia went straight upstairs.

Neil’s gaze darkened as he watched Silvia’s back and fell into deep thought.

Back in her room, Silvia was about to order takeout when she received a call from Dulcie.

“Sil, I forgot to tell you that Neil wants to meet you.”

Silvia was surprised to hear this. She frowned and asked, “Is it about the acquisition of MY Corporation?”

“Yes. Remus Corporation has been pursuing the acquisition for a month. Its people have approached me multiple times, but I haven’t agreed. I assume Neil got wind of your return and wants to discuss it with you in person.

“To be honest, the price they’re offering is quite tempting. If you hadn’t returned, those old geezers might have accepted the deal.”

Dulcie did not get a response from Silvia, so she continued, “I can reject his request if you don’t want to meet him.”

After a brief silence, Silvia softly said, “No need. Send me the time and place of the appointment later. Now that I’m back at MY Corporation, I’ll have to meet him sooner or later.”

“Got it. I’ll set up an appointment with Remus Corporation.

“Okay.”

After the call ended, Silvia resumed her attempt to order takeout. Just then, Neil knocked on the door.

He said, “The maid has prepared dinner. I have some matters to take care of tonight, so I won’t be able to join you. You can have your dinner downstairs.”

Silvia did not respond. After a while, she heard the car engine. When she approached the window, she caught sight of Neil’s car vanishing from view.

Five minutes later, she went downstairs.

She was surprised to find her favorite foods laid out for dinner.

However, she did not give it much thought. After her meal, she washed the dishes and returned to her room.
