Chapter 14

When Silvia saw Dulcie’s agitated face, she calmly said, “Even if I refuse this time, he’ll still find another opportunity to set me up. Why don’t I teach him a lesson this time?” “He must have given you a very hard client to deal with. What if you suffer any losses?” Silvia chuckled. “Don’t worry. Just carry on with your work.” “I still feel uneasy. I’ll tag along when you attend the meeting.” “No need. If I can’t even solve a problem like this by myself, what if the company faces bigger difficulties in the future?” When Dulcie saw how insistent Silvia was, she could only compromise. “Okay. But if anything unexpected happens, you have to call me. Don’t hold out on your own!” “Okay.” Not long after Dulcie left, Darrion came over to deliver the contract for the deal. He looked extremely smug. “Miss Pond, I’ll wait for you to return with the signed contract!” “Okay, Mr. Torres. If there’s nothing else, you can leave. I still have a lot of work to do.” Anger flashed in Darrion’s eyes. He turned around and left with a sneer. He would wait and see what Silvia would do! Silvia read through the document. After she made an appointment with the other party to meet at night, she started working on other things. Soon, it was time to punch out. Silvia held the documents and went straight to the hotel they agreed upon. Justus Walls was sitting inside a private room. He stood up the moment Silvia walked in. He chuckled and said, “Miss Pond, welcome!” Justus did not expect Silvia to be so pretty that he could barely hold himself back from coming on to her. This time, Darrion did not deceive him. When Justus recalled what Darrion had said to him on the phone, he felt tickled. Silvia sat two seats away from Justus before she smiled and said, “Hi, Mr. Walls.” Justus was unhappy that she was so far away, so he got up and sat down next to her. His lustful eyes were fixed on her breasts. “Miss Pond, why are you being so polite? We’ve never met before, but we’ll get to know each other as we interact. You can call me Justus!” Justus was over fifty years old. He was even older than Silvia’s father. When he chuckled, the wrinkles on his face deepened as well. He was not ashamed about asking Silvia to call him by his name. As he spoke, he subconsciously held Silvia’s hand on the table. The second he did that, an intense scream rang out. “Argh! Let go of me! It hurts!” Silvia let go of him indifferently. “Sorry, Mr. Walls. I don’t really like being touched.” Although she was apologizing, her eyes indicated otherwise. Justus felt annoyed. There was a sly look in his eyes, but he suddenly chuckled again. He picked up a bottle of decanted red wine from the table and poured a glass for Silvia. “Here’s the deal, Miss Pond. If you drink this wine, I won’t hold what just happened against you. What do you think?” Silvia raised her eyebrows and smiled. “Mr. Walls, drinking red wine is so boring. I’ll ask the waiter to bring a few other liquors over.” When Justus saw that Silvia was getting up to leave, he sneered. “Miss Pond, since you’re so insincere, there is no need to discuss our collaboration anymore!” He slammed the wine glass on the table. His face was full of anger. Silvia could tell that there was something wrong with the wine and Justus wanted to sexually harass her. “Okay. Enjoy your meal then, Mr. Walls. Goodbye,” she said indifferently. Justus was just trying to threaten Silvia. He did not expect her to leave without hesitation. He finally snapped out of it after a few seconds and ran after her. “Stop!” His voice was loud, so he instantly drew attention from the people around. Several people on the other side of the room could see Silvia and Justus very clearly through the frosted glass partition. David and his gang were there for dinner. They never thought that they would see Silvia too. Justus was also no stranger to them. Justus had started his business by producing cloth. He took advantage of the trend a few years ago and instantly became a boss. After that, he grew arrogant and started acting like a tycoon. Those with slightly higher social status would look down on him. When David saw how grim Neil’s expression was, he softly said, “Neil, how did Silvia get involved with Justus Walls? He loves to hang around women. Women who get caught up with him usually end up disabled or even dead. His reputation in Ryoln City is terrible.” He did not think that Silvia was good enough for Neil, but he had no desire to see her ruined by Justus either. Neil appeared even more upset. As he stared at Silvia, no one knew what he was thinking about. Silvia did not notice them at the side. She turned to look at Justus and nonchalantly asked, “Is there anything else, Mr. Walls?” Justus sneered. “Silvia Pond, you’re just a PR representative in MY Corporation. How dare you be so arrogant! Whatever I do to you, nothing will happen to me. Before I lose all my patience, be a good girl and follow me! If I’m happy after I sleep with you, maybe I’ll sign the contract!” Silvia smiled. “Did Darrion Torres tell you that?” Justus’s eyes were full of contempt and ridicule. “Does it make any difference if he said it or not? Didn’t you dress up like this to seduce me?” Silvia was wearing a white slip dress with a blazer. Her long hair was a little wavy. She looked gentle and elegant. She lowered her head and observed her outfit. She could not tell why he thought she was seducing him with her getup. “Mr. Walls, I’m not interested. I hope you’ll behave yourself.” After Silvia said that, she turned to leave. However, Justus sneered and said, “You think you can come and go as you please? It’s not that simple!” Immediately after, two burly chaps surrounded Silvia. They were at least 1.8 meters tall. They gave off an oppressive aura as they looked down at Silvia. Silvia smiled, but her eyes were full of hostility. “Mr. Walls, are you trying to force me?” David was standing behind the partition. He frowned and whispered, “Neil, if you don’t go out there and stop them, Justus is going to take her away!” Silvia seemed like a weak girl to him, so she would definitely lose. Neil remained unmoved. “Just wait a little longer.” “What are you still waiting for?” Neil only stared at Silvia without another word. Anna, the founder of MY Corporation, had just returned. Silvia was also working at MY Corporation. Did such a coincidence really exist? Justus glared at Silvia. “Bring her back to the private room! I’m going to make you suffer!” After that, he turned around and walked toward the private room. He was already thinking of ways to toy with her. However, he had only taken two steps forward when he heard screams behind him. Before he could turn around, someone kicked him in the buttocks. He was sent flying against the wall. Bang! Justus screamed and fell to the floor. His entire body was in pain. David was shocked. He subconsciously looked at Neil. “Is Silvia that good at martial arts?” Before he could clearly see how Silvia made it, the two burly chaps fell on the floor as well. Additionally, she kicked a man away. Could an ordinary woman do all that? Neil remained silent, but his gaze intensified. Perhaps he never understood Silvia. Meanwhile, Silvia slowly walked toward Justus with a sneer. At this point, Justus felt his mind blank. Silvia just seemed like a demon to him. “You… Don’t come over! Otherwise, I’ll call the police!” When Silvia saw how flustered he was, her emotions left her eyes. She walked up to him and stepped on his chest. Justus’s chest was in extreme pain. Blood instantly gushed out from his mouth. “Did you just say that… you wanted me to suffer?”
