Chris handed her the script and calmly said, “I didn’t save her so that she would reciprocate my feelings.”
Katherine rolled her eyes and mocked him. “Just continue your silent pursuit. If you manage to win her over, I’ll reward you with money!”
After that, she took the script and left in a huff.
Silvia spent the afternoon adjusting the design drafts that Rita had recently submitted. Once she finalized the changes, she emailed the files to Rita. Then, she headed downstairs for a cup of coffee.
After she took a few sips, she received a call from Dulcie.
“Silvia, the police have taken my uncle away,” she said in a quiet and emotionless tone.
Silvia sipped some coffee and calmly said, “He may be your uncle, but he’s also your colleague at MY Corporation. Besides, his actions were against the law. This was his own doing.”
After a while, Dulcie replied.
“I know, but I still feel sad about it.”
No matter how bad Sigwald was, he was still her uncle.
She had already sent Leroy to prison, and this time, it was Sigwald’s turn. She could not take it anymore.
Her relatives called her heartless and ungrateful. Ever since Sigwald was taken away, her phone had been ringing nonstop. Most of them had called to criticize her.
She even began to feel confused. Why did they not criticize Sigwald and Leroy, who had done wrong deeds? Instead, they directed their anger at her.
After a brief silence, Silvia comforted her. “If this is too much to bear, I can try to request a lenient sentence from the judge.”
“That’s alright. I’ll get over it after a while. He messed with the company’s interests, so he should face the consequences.”
After she comforted Dulcie a little more, Silvia ended the call and thought about Liam.
When it was time for Liam to face justice, the Remus Family would probably experience the same discomfort as Dulcie.
She had never received kindness from anyone in the Pond Family, so she could not relate to Dulcie and the Remus Family members.
She had only received kindness from her adoptive parents, friends, and a few people who were not related to her. In her world, if someone showed her kindness, she would reciprocate it. Family bonds based on blood relations did not matter.
“You didn’t want to come to my place, so I had no choice but to come to yours.”
Silvia glared at him. “I’m curious. Is your skin made of leather?”
How could he be so thick-skinned?
Realizing that she was irritated, Neil became worried that she would get angry and kick him out. Therefore, he quickly sat her down at the table and said, “Let’s eat, or else, the food’s going to get cold.”
Silvia looked at the abundance of food. Since they could not finish it, she thought of sending some to Chris.
She had considered inviting Chris to join them for dinner. But when she envisioned the scenario, she quickly dismissed the idea.
“Wait. Let me ask Chris if he’s had dinner. If not, I’ll send him some food.”
As soon as she finished speaking, Neil’s expression darkened.
“Whom did you just say you’d send the food to?!”
