Chapter 4

Meanwhile, Silvia had just arrived at the mansion. She was surprised to see Chris when she opened the door. “Why are you here?” Chris smiled and spoke in a gentle tone, “It’s been a while, Silvia. I’m filming a program in Ryoln City, so I thought I’d stay here for the night. I didn’t expect you to be here. If it’s inconvenient for you, I’ll leave.” Before she married Neil, Silvia had worked behind the scenes as a manager for some time. Chris had been one of the artists she managed. He had also been the most hardworking one. Silvia admired him. She was both his mentor and his friend. Even after she quit being his manager, she helped him find an excellent replacement in the industry. He had grown more popular over the years. Knowing that Chris was facing financial difficulties, Silvia gave him the key to this mansion. She told him that he could come over and stay anytime. After her marriage, she focused all her attention on the rehabilitation of Neil’s legs and gradually forgot about this. “It’s alright. You can stay since it’s late. It might be troublesome to stay at a hotel because people will definitely recognize you. You can leave tomorrow.” Seeing Silvia pull her suitcase upstairs, Chris walked up to her and said, “Let me give you a hand.” “No need. It’s not heavy.” “Are you planning to move in?” He was cautiously gauging her response, but she did not notice it. She nodded and said, “Yeah. It might be inconvenient for you to stay over in the future.” “I understand. You’ve allowed me to stay here for free for so many years. I’m truly grateful.” Silvia laughed when she saw his serious expression. “You’re an award-winning actor now. You can afford to buy a mansion much more expensive than this one.” Chris smiled. He had already purchased the mansion next to hers, but he was still fond of this one because she used to live here. “Would you like a cup of coffee? I’m brewing some.” “Sure, but I need to go upstairs and take a shower first.” “Okay.” After he helped Silvia carry her suitcase upstairs, Chris returned to the kitchen with a smile. He then continued to grind some coffee beans. Just as he finished brewing the coffee, the doorbell rang. He walked to the door and looked through the peephole. He was surprised to see who his visitor was. It was Neil, the president of Remus Corporation! Neil’s face often appeared in financial magazines, so Chris recognized him. Also, he had recently starred in a movie that Remus Corporation invested in. Why was Neil here? Did he come for Silvia? But they did not seem to be connected in any way. While Chris pondered, Neil ran out of patience and pressed the doorbell several more times. Finally, the door opened. However, it was not Silvia who opened the door. Instead, it was a man Neil had never seen before. He was probably Chris, the new award-winning actor Curtis had mentioned! Neil’s gaze turned cold. He could barely suppress his anger. “Where’s Silvia?” Chris frowned when he sensed Neil’s hostility. “She’s taking a shower. Can you tell me why you’re looking for her, Mr. Remus?” Neil sneered. His tone was icy as he said, “I’m her husband. It’s none of your business.”
