SWNOVELS Chapter 10
“She’s done everything that a wife should and shouldn’t do. The two of you just need to tie the knot,” Silvia said nonchalantly.
Neil stared at her face and tried to detect any sadness, but he saw none. She truly did not care about him anymore. For some
reason, Neil felt a pang in his heart. He looked away and fiercely said, “As long as we’re not divorced, you have the responsibility
to take care of me!” Silvia felt slightly annoyed. She did not have the energy to talk to him. She took out her phone, unblocked
Ada’s phone number, and sent her a text message. In the Ponds’ house, Ada was getting ready to sleep following a shower.
After she received the message from Silvia, her face turned red with rage. Silvia, that b*tch! She immediately got up and
changed her outfit. When she went downstairs, she bumped into her parents. Both of them could not help but frown once they
realized that she was going out. “Ada, it’s late. Where are you going?” Ada forced a smile. She looked at Mindy and said, “Mom,
Neil’s drunk and home alone. I’m worried about him, so I’m going over to check on him.” Mindy cast a glance at Idris. When she
did not see any sign of disapproval on his face, she spoke to Ada with a smile, “It’s too late now, so it’s not safe for you to drive
there. I’ll get Hart to send you over.” “Sure. Thank you, Mom.” After Ada left, Mindy said with a pensive expression, “It looks like
Neil still has some feelings for Ada. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have told Ada that he was drunk.” Idris nodded. “Ask Ada to grab this
opportunity. Luckily, not many people know that Neil and Silvia are married, so it won’t affect Silvia’s chances in finding a new
husband in the future.” It did not matter to Idris whether Silvia or Ada was married to Neil. It just had to be profitable to his
company. After Silvia divorced Neil, he would find her a husband who could also bring profit to the Pond Family. Silvia and Neil
did not talk on the way. When they arrived at the mansion, Neil subconsciously frowned when he saw that the lights were on.
Besides the two of them, no one else would come to the mansion. On top of that, it was so late at night. “Why is the light on?”
Silvia appeared calm as she responded indifferently, “You’ll know when you open the door.” Neil entered the password and
opened the door. Right then, he saw a slim woman. His gaze subconsciously turned cold. “Silvia Pond, what’s the meaning of
this?” Ada had prepared some hot tea. Right after she placed it on the table, she heard Neil’s voice near the door. She turned
around and quickly walked toward it. Outside, Neil stared at Silvia fiercely. His heart also sank. He never thought she would
actually ask Ada to come to their home! Did she know what this meant? Silvia looked unaffected. “Didn’t you say that you were
drunk? I asked the person who’s always on your mind to come and take care of you. You should thank me,” she said with a
straight face. “Say that again. I dare you!’ When Silvia saw Neil’s expression of disbelief, she could not be bothered to continue
humoring him. “I’ve invited her here for you, so I won’t stay around and disturb you love birds. You just need to sign the divorce
agreement and mail it to me,” she said coldly. Silvia turned around and left. She showed no reluctance whatsoever. Neil was
furious. Just as he was about to go after her, Ada grabbed his arm. “Neil, I’ve prepared some tea for you to sober up. Please
come inside and have some.” When Neil saw Ada’s hesitance, he frowned. He moved out of her grasp and said, “Ada, go home
first.” Ada shook her head. “Neil, I’m not leaving. I’ll stay here and keep you company. Silvia texted me and said you were drunk.
I don’t feel at ease leaving you alone here.” Neil’s face froze. “Did she tell you the password for the door?” he growled. “Yes...”
When Ada saw Neil’s gloomy face, she immediately said, “If you don’t like me being here, I won’t come over again. Don’t be
angry.” Neil closed his eyes and said in a deep voice, “Ada, I need to be alone for a while.” “I’ll be right here with you quietly. I
won’t disturb you.” “I’ll ask Sayer to send you home.” “Neil...” “Just listen to me!” Ada bit her bottom l*p. She nodded reluctantly
and said, “Okay. If you feel sick, you have to call me!” “Okay.” After Ada left, Neil closed the door and walked to the living room.
When he saw the divorce agreement on the table, dissatisfaction flashed in his eyes. He walked up to the table and picked up
the divorce agreement. Then, he tore it up and threw it into the trash bin. She wanted to divorce him? In her dreams! The next
morning, Darrion Torres came to see Silvia not long after she arrived at her office. He looked angry. He glared at Silvia and said,
“Miss Pond, you fired half of my staff. Didn’t you go too far?” Silvia appeared indifferent. She raised her brows and said, “Mr.
Torres, please stay calm. I’ll communicate with the HR Department. When we start recruiting new staff, we’ll prioritize filling up
your departments.” Darrion was so angry that his face turned red. That was not what he meant! Silvia had fired all the relatives
he had recruited. They bombarded his phone with calls this morning and asked him what happened. Darrion was a construction
worker when he met Silvia by chance. At that time, he was very poor. He did Silvia a favor, so she gave him ten percent of MY
Corporation’s shares. In the beginning, Darrion did not care about it. However, MY Corporation expanded under Silvia’s
management. He only realized how much ten percent was worth when he received up to ten million dollars every year. At first
Darrion was grateful for Silvia, but the sudden large sum of money also changed him drastically. As his relatives and fellow
villagers k*ssed up to him, he became increasingly arrogant. He enjoyed the feeling of being buttered up by his relatives
whenever he gave them a work position. When Silvia fired all his relatives, it embarrassed him. Hence, he was unhappy with
Silvia. “Miss Pond, even if you’re planning to recruit new people, it’ll still take some time. Besides, who knows if the newcomers
will be able to immediately take over the work from the skilled staff who’ve been fired? Now that these people have been fired,
the departments I’m managing will have to pause their operations!” Silvia put down the documents in her hands before she
looked at him. It was as if she could see through him. For some reason, Darrion dared not stare at her. He felt as though she
could decipher his thoughts. Silvia chuckled. “What do you think we should do, Mr. Torres?” Darrion immediately said, “Miss
Pond, you just got back, so you’re not familiar with the company’s operations. I suggest that you understand how the company
operates and what the departments do before you consider firing our staff.” Silvia remained silent for a while and nodded
pensively. “You’re right.” When Darrion heard this, he felt happy about how easily Silvia was persuaded. It looked like he could
continue recruiting his own people into the company. However, what Silvia said next immediately stunned him. “Since you’re
here, why don’t you tell me what your departments have done these past few years? What did the people I fired do every day?
