Chapter 283
Since Silvia and Neil’s injuries were not severe, they were discharged from the hospital after a few days.
Due to Neil’s insistence, Silvia agreed to move in with him and stay in Royal Vista. However, they continued to sleep in separate rooms.
She ignored his dissatisfaction and moved her belongings into the guest room.
Once she finished unpacking, she left the room and cocked her eyebrow in surprise when she saw Neil setting the table.
“Is this the takeout you ordered?”
“Yeah. Let’s eat.”
Over the meal, Silvia asked about his progress with Leroy’s case.
“The investigation is ongoing, but Leroy insists that he bought the bomb on his own. He says that Sigwald has nothing to do with it.”
Silvia nodded. She was not surprised by his decision. “That’s expected. He probably knows that if he exposes Sigwald, it would spell the end for him.”

“No wonder Leroy’s willing to take the fall for Sigwald.”
After their meal, Silvia watched TV on the couch, whereas Neil took care of some work in the study.
While he was in the study, he received a call from Curtis.
“Mr. Remus, should we keep watching over Perficient?”
Neil stayed silent for a moment before he answered coldly, “Once Ada gets used to the management, you can stop monitoring it.”
“Understood.”
After Neil hung up, he frowned.
He needed to find an opportunity to talk to Ada and urge her to lay out the remaining two conditions. That way, he could cut ties with her completely.
He had worked hard for Silvia’s forgiveness, so he did not want other issues to cause more misunderstandings.
When Ada received a call from Curtis and learned that Remus Corporation would no longer assist her, she felt infuriated.
It had to be because of Silvia!
She took a deep breath and gave Melanie a call.
“Mrs. Remus, something’s been on my mind, and I think I should tell you about it.”
“What is it?”
“It’s not convenient to talk about it over the phone. Let’s meet up.”
Half an hour later, they met in a secluded cafe.
Melanie sat opposite Ada and looked at her in confusion.
“Ada, what exactly do you want to tell me? Why are you so hesitant?”
Ada seemed unsure for a moment and slowly said, “Mrs. Remus, the truth is Silvia didn’t go missing twenty–three years ago… My parents abandoned her.”
Melanie was shocked. She frowned and asked, “Are you serious?”
She had never heard of parents abandoning their newborn baby.
Ada nodded. “Yes, it all started with a tarot reader whom our family trusted…”
After their meeting, Melanie’s mind was a mess. She could not remember how she returned to the Remus Family’s mansion.
Jake noticed her unusual mood, so he frowned and asked, “Why do you look so lost?”
“Do you remember the tarot reader who suddenly died over twenty years ago?” Melanie asked.
after a while.
“Why are you bringing this up all of a sudden?”
“He died after he predicted that Silvia would bring misfortune to and Family and told
them about it.”
Jake’s expression darkened. That tarot reader had helped him a lot. Ever since he followed his advice, the Remus Family had done well..
“Don’t spout nonsense without evidence!”
Melanie took a deep breath and spoke through gritted teeth, “If you don’t believe me, get Idris over here and ask him. I finally understand why the Pond Family neglected her after they brought her back. No wonder everything went wrong for Neil after he married her!”
