Chapter 79
Silvia kept her phone. When she turned back, she saw Curtis staring at her with a puzzled expression.
“What’s wrong?”
“Miss Silvia, your ringtone is really unique. I feel like I’ve heard it somewhere.”
She appeared a little surprised. “Where did you hear it?”
It was a ringtone unique to the encryption software that a hacker in Mercenary Alliance created. Only members of the alliance would have the software in their phones.
Curtis shook his head. “I can’t remember, but this unique ringtone stuck with me. That’s why I recall hearing it before.”
Silvia did not pursue the matter, and the two of them fell silent.
After some time, Curtis looked at her and said, “Miss Silvia, Mr. Remus’s car immediately combusted after it hit the bus. His subordinates were only able to rescue him and the driver in time. I guess the divorce papers…”
She already expected this, so she nodded and said, “Okay. We’ll talk about it after he recovers.”
She also had to find out whether Scorpion had anything to do with this. She heard that his style was to slowly torture his victims instead of directly killing them.
After the two of them waited for more than eight hours, the lights in the operating theater finally turned off.
When Neil was pushed out, the anesthetic had not worn off yet. He lay on the hospital bed with his eyes closed, and his face was completely pale. His usual sharp and domineering look was nowhere to be seen.
The doctor took off his mask and appeared slightly solemn.
“Mr. Remus hurt his leg that was previously injured. It’s possible that he’ll never be able to stand anymore. You have to mentally prepare for it.”
Silvia’s face instantly turned pale with shock. She tried her best to remain calm and said, “I understand. Thank you, Dr.
Howard.”
“You’re welcome. Mr. Remus isn’t out of danger just yet. The next three days are going to be very important. I’ll assign two nurses, who will take turns observing his condition. It’d be best if you also get someone to watch him outside the ward.”
“Alright.”
After they sent Neil to the ward, Curtis suddenly received a call from the head of the company’s PR Department. C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.
“Mr. Harrell, Mr. Remus is all over the Internet. Apparently, he was seriously injured in a car accident, and he’s been
hospitalized. This is affecting Remus Corporation’s shares. Are you able to contact Mr. Remus right now?”
His face dropped. “I’m on my way there!”
After Curtis hung up, he looked at Silvia with a troubled expression. She spoke before he could say anything.
“Go ahead and attend to your work. I’ll take care of him here. If anything happens, I’ll contact you immediately.”
“Okay. Thank you, Miss Silvia.”
Once he left, Silvia contacted someone with a black profile picture and empty name in WhatsApp.
[Find out who spread the news about Mr. Remus’s involvement in a car accident!]
[Okay!]
Silvia then stored her phone and looked at the bedridden Neil who was intubated. The emotions in her eyes were slightly complicated. She hoped that Scorpion had nothing with this.
Soon, she received a message on her phone.
[Scorpion’s people released the news.]
She instantly had a serious look on her face. It really was Scorpion!
[Got it.]
[If you need help, contact me anytime.]
Silvia stopped replying. She subconsciously felt annoyed because she should have eliminated them back then. If she had, this would not have happened.
In the end, Neil’s accident could not be kept under wraps. All the news headlines covered it and caused the share prices of Remus Corporation to drop by a point.
Abalene fainted when she learned about this. She rushed to the hospital after she regained consciousness
When she saw the bedridden Neil, her tears instantly streamed down her face. Her entire b*dy was shaking too.
Silvia immediately supported her. “Madam Remus, please don’t be sad. Mr. Remus is going to make it.”
“If I had known that this would happen, I wouldn’t have forced him to divorce you…”
