Mr. Remus, Your Billionaire Wife Wants a Divorce novel Chapter 223

Chris had initially come over to confess to Silvia, but seeing her weary appearance, he decided to wait for a more opportune moment.

“Alright.”

Silvia opened the door and entered the mansion. The living room was pitch black because Isla had not returned from an event.

She went upstairs without turning on the lights. Then, she took a shower and drifted off to sleep.

Ever since she turned Neil down, her life had been peaceful again. Although they were in the same city, they never crossed paths.

Silvia had a lot of things to handle at MY Corporation. At first, she would space out occasionally, but as she got busier, thoughts of Neil rarely came to her.

Eva resigned after she returned from Ten Miles Village. As such, Silvia asked Dulcie to hire a new female secretary. However, they had to put the matter on hold because they had not found someone suitable yet.

Half a month later, the design competition was held in Ryoln City.

The organizer of the competition was Williams Corporation. The day before the opening ceremony, Blake Williams, the president of the company, invited all the judges to his home to discuss the competition.

Silvia had other things to take care of, so she arrived late. By the time she got there, the other judges had already left.

Blake was surprised to see her.

“You’re Elia?!”

He knew that Elia was from Ryoln City, but he never anticipated that Elia would, in fact, be Silvia. She was the Pond Family’s supposedly useless daughter who had gone missing for over a decade before her return!

Did they not say that she never even graduated from high school?

Silvia nodded. “Hello, Mr. Williams.”

Blake was someone who had met countless people, so he quickly regained his composure. He smiled and said, “Miss Pond, please have a seat.”

After he briefed her on the plan that he had discussed with the other judges, he looked at her and asked, “Miss Pond, is there anything else you would like to add?”

Silvia shook her head. “The plan you’ve come up with is perfect, Mr. Williams. I have no objections. I just want to make sure if the competition this time is the same as the previous ones. The judges don’t need to show up, right?”

Once Rita got home, she saw her father sitting in the living room with a contemplative look. “Dad, who was the woman that just left our house?” she asked.

Blake glanced at her and said, “Your idol, Elia.”

“What?!”

Rita was in disbelief. “Elia’s that young?! You’re not lying to me, are you?!”

At that moment, regret washed over her. If she had known that it was Elia, she would have stopped her and asked for an autograph!

Blake looked at her in annoyance. “Why would I lie to you? Both of you are the same age, but she’s a judge, and you’re just a contestant.”

He got irritated when he compared them. If he had such an exceptional daughter, he would definitely ask his wife to parade her around and brag about her. He wondered why the Pond Family treated Silvia so poorly.

Rita glared at Blake. “Being a contestant isn’t easy! Do you know how tough it is to qualify for this competition? Elia’s a genius who only appears once in a century. Expecting me to match her excellence is the same as expecting pigs to fly!”
