Joe could not figure out how those people ended up on the ground. He failed to catch her moves.
Silvia walked up to the leader and sternly asked, “Who ordered you to come here?”
One of the leader’s eyes was bruised, and the corner of his lips was swollen. When he heard this, he shook his head guiltily.
“No-No one. We just wanted to make things right for our buddy…”
Silvia sneered and slowly raised her hand.
The moment the man saw her gesture, he got so scared that he immediately covered his face. “Don’t-Don’t hit me. I’ll-I’ll tell you…” he said in a trembling voice.
He claimed that an unknown individual had transferred money to him. This person then asked him to bring some people to MY Corporation to make a fuss. The man looked at Silvia with caution and fear.
“Miss-Miss Pond, I’ve told you everything that I know. Please-Please don’t hit me anymore…”
His frightened demeanor was the total opposite of his arrogant demeanor from earlier.
If Joe had not seen his threatening look, he might have started to sympathize with him.
Silvia put her hand down, and her eyes were full of ruthlessness. “If I find out that you’re lying, I won’t spare you!”
The leader almost cried out of fear, but he resigned himself to his fate.
“I’ve told you the truth. I swear on my life.”
Silvia stood up and saw two people out of the corner of her eyes. They were standing at the office door. She was stunned to see who they were.
“Why are you here?”
She and Neil had not been in contact since their breakup more than half a month ago. She fell into a daze when he appeared before her all of a sudden.
Neil did not answer. He quickly walked up to her and held her wrist. After he checked and made sure that she was not injured, he seemed to relax.
“I did, but it was in self-defense.”
The police officers were speechless, and the troublemakers remained silent.
After a few seconds, the police brought the troublemakers and Silvia to the police station to give a statement.
Neil tagged along. He kept Silvia company as she gave her statement. Therefore, the whole process was unusually fast and smooth. She stepped out of the police station in less than an hour.
She thanked him and prepared to board a taxi by the road. Just then, Neil grabbed her wrist.
“Why didn’t you tell me that such a serious thing happened?”
Silvia failed to move out of his grip, so she looked at him with a frown.
“Mr. Remus, I thought we already broke up.”
