Mr. Remus Your Billionaire Wife Wants a Divorce

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.” Nob*dy 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. She spent some time reading on the balcony. As she was about to go to bed, she suddenly heard the sound of a car engine. She looked down and realized that Neil had returned. He had called for a chauffeur. His unsteady gait as he exited the car made it evident that he was drunk. Once the chauffeur parked the car, he left. After she saw Neil almost stumble a few times, Silvia withdrew her gaze expressionlessly. She closed her book and returned to her bedroom to sleep. However, various noises from the bedroom next door kept her awake. Silvia got up with a frown. She walked to the room and knocked on the door impatiently. “Please keep it down. The noise is bothering me!” she complained. The noises ceased, so Silvia turned back to her room. However, the door behind her abruptly opened. As she turned around in confusion, she was pulled into the dark room before she could do anything. “Ah!” Silvia yelped. She had yet to register what just happened when Neil pinned her to the door. The moment his hot breath landed on her ear, she shivered instinctively. Neil was clearly quite drunk because he reeked of alcohol. His b*dy was burning hot as he pressed it against hers. Silvia could feel the heat. Her annoyance grew as she tried to push him away but failed. “Neil, let me go!” Right after she spoke, Neil k*ssed her. His l*ps were hot. Meanwhile, his hands roamed all over her b*dy. If this went on, they would definitely end up sleeping together! Silvia stopped him and quickly turned on the bedroom light. The sudden burst of light made Neil subconsciously narrow his eyes. Silvia’s angry face also came into view. While Silvia bore a strong resemblance to Ada, Neil had never once confused the two. Ada always appeared delicate and vulnerable. Men would

instinctively want to protect her whenever they saw her. However, Silvia was different. She never revealed any vulnerability to anyone and never asked for Neil’s help like Ada. This very moment was no different. Seeing the stubbornness in her eyes, he involuntarily wondered how to make her open up to him. Silvia’s gaze was cold. “Let me go! I’ll find someone else for you!” Neil was infuriated. He clutched her hand and said, “Silvia Pond! You’re my wife!” How could she think of finding another woman for him?! Was she heartless? Hearing the implication in his words, Silvia pursed her l*ps and retorted coldly, “Soon, I won’t be anymore!” Neil sneered as he fixed his desire-filled eyes on her face. Ever since she brought up the idea of divorce, he felt like he had accommodated her and yielded at every turn. Yet, she did not have the slightest change of heart. Even right then, she was still thinking of the divorce! Neil lowered his head and bit Silvia’s l*p forcefully. Before she could say anything, he ruthlessly said, “Since you’re so eager to get a divorce, I’ll grant you your wish.” Silvia instantly raised her head in surprise. “Really?” Neil tried his best to suppress his anger, but his voice was cold. “But I have one condition. You’ll have to sleep with me tonight!” His words made Silvia’s face turn pale.ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .
