After Silvia said that, she felt Neil’s expression turn gloomy.
“What’s wrong?”
“If you really like Elm Bay, I can buy you a mansion there. I don’t want you to live in another man’s mansion,” he said firmly.
Silvia raised her eyebrows in surprise. After she contemplated for a few seconds, she decided to tell him the truth.
“Actually, the mansion in Elm Bay is mine.”
Neil frowned. “I asked Curtis to look into it, and he found that the mansion is under Chris’s name.”
“There must have been a mistake somewhere. Besides, I wanted to divorce you back then, so I didn’t explain things.”
“But why are you explaining today?”
Silvia felt a little helpless. “If I don’t, you’ll definitely argue with me about this.”
Neil was speechless.
In the end, he sent Silvia back to the mansion in Elm Bay, but he also got out of the car with her.
“I’ll stay here with you.”
Silvia glanced at him in annoyance. “Mr. Remus, I’m still angry at what happened the last time.”
Neil nodded. “Yeah, I know. That’s why I want to be in close contact with you. That way, I can get you to forgive me as soon as possible.”
“You can buy your own mansion!”
“Even if I buy one, I’ll still live with you. It’ll be a waste because I’ll just leave it empty.”
If he did not buy a separate mansion, perhaps he could still sleep on the couch if they got into a fight. If he bought one and they got into a fight, Silvia would definitely chase him out. He would not accept such a losing deal.
Silvia realized that he would not stop until he got what he wanted, so she gave up. She hurried to the door and opened it after she keyed in the password.
Neil observed the mansion seriously after he learned that it belonged to Silvia. He realized that it had a similar interior design to Remus Mansion.
When they first got married, their home was too far from Remus Corporation. As such, he asked Curtis to buy a mansion near the company and moved in with Silvia. This would later be Remus Mansion.
He did not care about the renovations, so Silvia basically worked on it by herself. The renovation style was also done based on her preference.
When he saw the huge bean bag couch in the living room, he smiled faintly.
After they had breakfast, they drove to their respective workplace.
When Silvia was downstairs at MY Corporation, she received a call from Dulcie.
“Perficient suddenly dropped the price of their clothing today. I guess that they’re trying to compete with us in terms of price!”
“I’m already downstairs. Let’s talk once I’m upstairs.”
Soon after, Silvia held a shareholder meeting to discuss Perficient’s price reduction.
“What do you think about their sudden price reduction?”
Dulcie had a stern expression, and she slowly said, “Perficient did the same thing a year ago. Back then, they gradually lowered their prices as well.
“After they identified the upper limit of our prices, they reduced their prices by 30%, which forced us to reduce our prices too. We suffered a pretty substantial loss.”
The other shareholders felt slightly angry when they heard about what happened a year ago. That incident had caused MY Corporation to suffer loss. After Perficient set them up a few times, their company started to go downhill.
“Miss Pond, we’ll suffer losses anyhow. Why don’t we take the lead this year? We can increase our price reduction and catch Perficient off guard!”
