Chapter 61
Silvia frowned as she looked at Neil.
He was furious. He had only stepped away for a while, but she was already having a meal
with another man. If he had arrived any later, both of them might have gotten themselves
a room!
He sat beside Silvia and sneered at Chris.
Not one to back down, Chris met his gaze with a confident smile and said, “Mr. Remus,
Silvia’s a good friend of mine, and I treat her problems as my own. I’m here to help
whenever she needs it.”
Neil scowled. “I never thought you’d be so eager to get involved in another family’s
business. Instead of doing that, I’d suggest you spend more time honing your acting skills
and less time poking your nose where it doesn’t belong.”
“My acting skills are none of your concern, Mr. Remus.”
They glared at each other, and neither was willing to back down.
Sensing the tension in the air, Silvia furrowed her brows even more. She turned to Neil and
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtsaid, “Mr. Remus, if you’re here to stir up trouble, you can leave.”
Neil’s anger flared up instantly, and he snapped. “Silvia, your sugar baby is clearly trying
to drive a wedge between us. I’m not the one causing trouble. It’s him!” 1
Silvia’s eyes remained cold. “First of all, Chris isn’t my sugar baby. He’s my friend. Show
some respect. Second of all, we don’t need anyone driving a wedge between us. We both
know how things really are.”
Neil scoffed. He grabbed Silvia’s hand and pulled her toward the door.
All of a sudden, Chris grabbed Silvia’s other hand.
“Mr. Remus, didn’t you notice that Silvia almost stumbled?”
Seeing how Neil treated Silvia, anger welled up inside him. Chris could not believe that she
had sacrificed her career to marry
such a man.
If she were to marry him, he would protect her from unfair treatment and pain instead of
being so uncaring.
When Neil turned around and saw Chris holding her hand, his eyes filled with anger.
“Let go! If not, I’ll break your hand!”
Chris remained undaunted by Neil’s threat and firmly said, “You’re the one who should let
go!”
Their tense confrontation quickly drew the attention of the restaurant’s customers.
Silvia could not take it anymore. All she had wanted was a peaceful meal, but the situation
had escalated far beyond her expectations.
After a brief silence, she shook off their hands and quickly left the restaurant.
Just as she reached the elevator, Neil caught up to her.
“Silvia, you never listen to me, do you? You won’t learn unless I teach you a lesson, is that
it?”
He took out his phone and called Curtis. “Identify the projects that Chris Rios has recently
signed on for, or any that are about
to be released. Then-”
Neil did not get to finish his instructions because Silvia snatched his phone away.
She immediately ended the call and said with a sneer, “Neil Remus, is this the best you
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmcan come up with? You’re stooping pretty low with this tactic.”
He exuded a menacing aura and spoke expressionlessly, “Do you think this will stop me
from attacking him? Unless you’re prepared to keep me under surveillance 24/7, I’ll find an
opportunity to make him vanish from the entertainment industry!”
Silvia frowned in response. She was about to retort when Chris’s cold voice rang out
behind her.
“Silvia, you don’t have to worry about this. I’m curious to see how Mr. Remus plans to
make me vanish from the entertainment industry!”
She turned to Chris and whispered, “This is between me and him. I don’t want to drag you
into it and cause you trouble.”
Neil was clearly taking his anger out on Chris. The latter had worked for years to become a
famous actor, and she did not want to see it all go to waste because of her.
Chris smiled and said, “I’m not afraid, and I don’t believe Mr. Remus can control
everything.”
Neil sneered. “We’ll just have to wait and see!”
