Chapter 39
Neil’s well–proportioned b*dy with perfectly sculpted abs came into view, and Silvia unwittingly sneaked a peek
Her mind immediately flashed back to last night. She averted her gaze in a hurry and coldly said, “Are you some kind of pervert?”
Neil smiled slyly and whispered, “You saw everything last night. Don’t you think it’s too late to act shy?”
“F*ck off!”
When Silvia pulled the blanket over her head, Neil stopped teasing her. He dressed himself and said, I’ve ordered some clothes for you. They should be here soon. I’ve got to run to a meeting, but we’ll catch up over dinner later.”
“I’m busy!”
“I’ll pick you up.
Silvia ignored him. Once the room was finally quiet, she removed the blanket and sighed in resignation.
If she had known that this would happen last night, she would not have gone back to retrieve her phone. It appeared that Neil was even more against the divorce now.
She grabbed her phone and made a call.
“Find out who was in Room 5 on the eighth floor of Grand Opulence last night!” NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.
With that, Silvia decided it was time for a shower. As she looked at the marks on her b*dy, she could not help but curse Neil again.
Not long after her shower, the clothes that Neil ordered arrived. He even included underwear.
Silvia put them on and blushed when she noticed how perfectly they fit.
She gave Dulcie a call and informed her that she would not make it to the company today. Then, she left Grand Opulence.
On the way to the office, Curtis found out who had drugged Silvia last night.
“Mr. Remus, Reid Galvan’s responsible for drugging Miss Silvia. He’s a big shot in North City. He has his fingers in a lot of entertainment venues, and he made his fortune through some shady business back in the day. He also has connections in both legal and illegal circles.”
Neil frowned and sternly said, “I want him gone from Ryoln City today!”
‘Understood.”
In her office at MY Corporation, Dulcie dialed Henry’s number after much internal debate.
“What do you want from me?!”
Henry’s voice was tinged with impatience. “Dulcie, we broke up, so please stop bothering me. Don’t make me hate you!”
Dulcie sneered, “Don’t flatter yourself. I’m not into sc*mbags. I’m just calling to get my dress back. I left it in your car last night.”
Π
“I’ll have my assistant send it over to you later.”
Once he gave her his word, Dulcie immediately hung up.
Henry then instructed his secretary to get her dress from the car and return it to her. The secretary did as he was told. On his way out, he crossed paths with Snow, who had come to see Henry.
Snow instantly recognized the dress as Devotion, and her eyes lit up in surprise. She quickly stopped the secretary and asked, “Is this a gift that Henry prepared for me?”
Before she came, Henry told her that he had prepared a surprise for her..
A hint of embarrassment flashed in the secretary’s eyes, and he explained, “Miss Walls, this is Miss Reed’s dress. Mr. Brooks asked me to return it to her.”
Snow’s smile faded, and a surge of jealousy and anger flashed in her eyes. “I guess Henry’s the one who bought it, right?”
The secretary shook his head. “I’m not sure.”
“Give me the dress. I’ll ask Henry myself.”
She still had her heart set on Devotion. Regardless of whether Henry had bought it or not, she would
not return it to Dulcie.
She wanted Dulcie to understand that both the dress and Henry belonged to her.
The secretary looked troubled. “Miss Walls, I was ordered by Mr. Brooks. I-”
Snow coldly cut him off. “Don’t worry. If there’s any trouble, I’ll handle it.”
She snatched the dress from the secretary and walked briskly into Brooks Corporation.
The secretary sighed helplessly as he watched her leave. It seemed hard to please Henry’s new
girlfriend. Their future was bound to be a bumpy ride.
As noon approached, Dulcie grew increasingly impatient because her dress had not been returned. She called Henry again.
“Why haven’t you sent my dress back?!”
