Chapter 131
“Miss Pond, Snow’s a naive girl. It might not be suitable for her to associate with someone as shrewd as you. It might be best for you to keep some distance from her.”
Ada’s smile froze. She lowered her head and asked, “Aunt Cora, are you still upset about what happened before?”
Cora sneered. “Since you understand, stay away from her in the future!”
Ada looked at Cora and slowly said, “Aunt Cora, I was just trying to help. I didn’t expect Silvia to involve the police. I felt guilty once I found out. I even pleaded with her, but she wouldn’t let you or Snow off the hook-”
“Enough! Stop the act! You’re clever, so I’m sure you know what to do. You’d better stay away from. Snow, or I’ll-”
Snow suddenly interrupted her in anger. “Mom, why are you saying such nonsense to Ada?! She’s my best friend! If you keep treating her like this, I’ll stop talking to you!”
Seeing how genuinely upset she was, Cora softened her tone and said, “Snow, I’m doing this for your own good.”
“I don’t need you to do this for me!”
She quickly approached Ada with a guilty look. “Ada, I’m sorry. I apologize for what my mother just said.”
Ada smiled. “Don’t worry. I won’t take it personally. Your mom’s just looking out for you. I believe you two need some alone time, so I’ll leave you to it.”
As she reached the first floor, her smile faded, and she had a look of contempt.
If Snow was not a convenient tool, she would have ended their friendship after what Cora just said.
Once she married Neil, she would make Cora pay!
Upon reaching the hall, she saw Silvia pushing Neil through the door.
After a moment of hesitation, she approached Neil and greeted him.
“Neil, I didn’t expect to see you here today.”
He glanced at her with indifference. “Snow and Mrs. Walls are apologizing to my wife today. I can’t find a reason not to attend.”
There was a hint of jealousy in Ada’s eyes, and she looked in Silvia’s direction as if she had just noticed her. She smiled and said, “Silvia, you-”
When she noticed the necklace, her expression turned extremely grim.
“Angel’s Tears! Why are you wearing it?!”
Ada turned to Neil in disbelief and asked, “Neil, did you give her the necklace?”
Seeing the tears in her eyes, he frowned and asked, “Yeah. What’s wrong?”
“But isn’t this the birthday gift you bought for me?”
Silvia seemed slightly surprised, and she turned to Neil with a faint smile. Had he prepared two identical necklaces with the intention of giving one to each of them?
When Neil and Silvia appeared, the people at the party directed their attention to them. As the argument escalated, they quickly gathered around them to gossip.
“What’s happening? Does Mr. Remus still have feelings for Ada?”
“Haha. A man can never forget his first love. Even though Neil and Silvia are married, he’ll always have a special place for Ada in his heart!”
“I just love it when two women vie for the same man. The drama’s even more exciting if they’re twin sisters!”
As he listened to the conversations around him, Neil furrowed his brows even more. “When did I ever say I would give you Angel’s Tears?” he asked coldly.
Ada bit her l*p and looked at him as if he had betrayed her.
“Didn’t you buy this necklace in Ceattle because I mentioned how beautiful it was? Did you deliberately let her wear it to upset me?”
