Chapter 70
Neil frowned. “Why are you doing this, Grandma?”
“Why am I doing this?!”
Abalene glared at him and did not mince her words. “I know that you’ve been helping others to mistreat Silvia. Isn’t it natural for me to support her in divorcing a husband who never cares for her?”
Neil’s gaze turned cold. He turned to Silvia and asked, “You told Grandma about it?”
Abalene stood in front of Silvia and gave him a stern look. “How dare you question her after the hurt you’ve caused! You’d better stay away from her! You two are getting a divorce once we get back tomorrow. I’ll send the divorce agreement to your company.”
“Grandma!”
Neil was truly furious. He could not imagine divorcing Silvia.
“Stop calling me your grandma! I don’t have a grandson like you!”
She held Silvia’s hand, and they left the room.
After Abalene found Silvia a new room, she looked at her with compassion and said, “Don’t worry, Silvia. I won’t let him harm you. I’ve given your marriage some thought after what happened. I suppose you two aren’t a good match, or more precisely, he doesn’t deserve you.”
Silvia did not anticipate Abalene’s support, and her eyes welled up with tears. “Thank you, Madam Remus.”
“You don’t need to thank me. If anyone should be grateful, it should be me. Without you, Neil’s legs wouldn’t have recovered. It’s his loss that he never saw your kindness.”
Silvia shook her head. “You don’t have to thank me, Madam Remus. It was my choice, and I really appreciate your support.”
Although her marriage with Neil was bad, Abalene had always been very kind to her. There was no reason to let him affect their relationship.
“Alright. We need to stop expressing our gratitude. You must be tired after everything, so get some rest. I’ll head back now.”
“Okay.”
Abalene’s face was filled with displeasure once she left the room.
If she had not decided to check on them through a surveillance camera, she would not have seen Ada and Snow’s attempt to harm Silvia. Instead of standing up for Silvia, Neil helped them by forcing her to apologize.
When Abalene returned to her room, she saw Neil standing at the door gloomily. He was clearly waiting for her.
She walked up to him and gave him a fierce look. “Have you realized your mistakes?” Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.
“Grandma, you shouldn’t have agreed to help Silvia-”
Before he could finish his sentence, Abalene slapped him.
“Neil Remus! Have you forgotten what I told you? I told you to treat her nicely, and this is what you do?”
Abalene used all of her strength, and the slap instantly left a red mark on his face.
He instinctively clenched his fists and exuded a cold aura.
Abalene looked at him with anger and disappointment as she said, “Those two years when your legs were injured, Silvia took care of you day and night. She even found a doctor to treat you! Do you truly believe Ada loves you? If she cared for you, why didn’t she stay by your side during the most difficult years of your life?”
After a brief silence, Neil softly said, “Grandma, Ada was abroad at that time. She heard about my marriage with Silvia, so she
chose not to return.”
“It looks like you haven’t forgotten that you’re married to Silvia. In that case, why did you fool around with Ada after she returned to the country?”
Facing her questioning look, Neil frowned and said, “I didn’t fool around with her. Silvia just misunderstood things.”
Abalene scoffed. She pointed at Neil and said furiously, “My, my. You would even lie to me. If you weren’t fooling around with her, why did she stay in the house that you bought for your wedding? Why was she your partner in various events?”
Suddenly, they heard a thud behind them.
They turned and saw Silvia standing behind them with an indifferent expression. Right then, Abalene’s heart raced with fear.
