Chapter 443
“Get in touch with Chris’s agent. Then, give her the scripts of the movies and TV shows that Remus Corporation has invested in.
Ask her to bring them to Chris.”
“Understood, Mr. Remus.”
“Make sure his agent doesn’t spill the beans about Remus Corporation being the investor.”
An hour later, Chris received a call from Katherine.
“Chris, remember the movies and TV series you’ve rejected? Some directors have sent me some new scripts. I’ll send them over
for you to take a look.”
Chris frowned. Neil just invited him to join the productions that Remus Corporation had invested in. It had only been a few hours,
and Katherine already had new project offers. Could things be that coincidental?
He lowered his gaze and stayed silent.
Since Chris did not reply, Katherine continued, “Chris, are you there? Are you worried that your injury will affect filming? Don’t
worry. The directors said that if you like the scripts, they’ll wait for you to recover before they start filming.”
“Katherine, these scripts are from Mr. Remus, aren’t they?”
She sounded puzzled. “What does this have to do with Mr. Remus? I don’t get it.”
Chris smirked and coldly said, “Even if you refuse to tell me, I can make some calls and find out who invested in these
productions.”
Katherine fell silent. After a while, she spoke in a somewhat helpless tone.
“Chris, as long as the script is good, why bother about who the investor is? We have a working relationship with the investors.
You don’t need to feel burdened.”
“Decline these offers for me.”
After a while of persuading Chris without success, Katherine sighed and ended the call.
Over the next two days, Neil stayed at Silvia’s mansion. From his second–floor balcony, Chris would occasionally see them going
out to buy groceries or taking a walk after meals.
He had once dreamed of spending time with Silvia like that, but it was just wishful thinking.
She had never shown any romantic interest in him. He was just an ordinary friend to her. On Monday morning, Silvia received a
call from Dulcie as she got ready to leave for work. “Silvia, I’d like to take some time off.”
Hearing her hoarse voice, Silvia frowned. “Is it because of Sigwald’s incident?”
“No. I just need a break.”
“For how long?”
“About two weeks.”
Following a brief silence, Silvia said, “Alright, but keep your phone on. Some tasks might

require your attention.”
“Okay.”
After the call ended, Dulcie broke into tears.
Her face and body were covered in bruises. It was obvious that she had been physically assaulted.
Yesterday, Dylan Reed came to her door and expressed his desire to seek justice for his father, Sigwald. Dulcie wanted to
explain that Sigwald had violated the law, so she allowed the security to let him in.
However, once he was in her mansion, he grabbed her by the hair and started to hit her.
Dulcie tried to escape, but the vast difference in their strength made her struggling ineffective. She endured the most terrifying
hour of her life, but her body was in pain. Eventually, she passed out.
When she woke up again, she was alone in the mansion. However, there were messages from Dylan on her phone. He
threatened her to immediately release Sigwald, or else, he would send someone to r*pe her.
Dulcie felt nothing but fear, and she did not know what to do.
Ethan was away on a business trip, so she had no one to talk to. Therefore, she decided that the quickest solution was to pack
up and leave Ryoln City for a while. She planned to return after her injuries healed.
If people found out that Dylan had beaten her, she could only imagine the ridicule she would receive from her relatives.
She immediately booked a flight and started packing.
Unfortunately, shortly after she stepped out of the mansion, Dylan and a few others blocked her way.
“Where do you think you’re going, Dulcie?”
