Chapter 133
After a few minutes, Silvia smiled and said, “There’s no need for paint. I just hope that both of you remember the feeling of being in the spotlight today. Please think things through before you do anything in the future.”
Snow clenched her teeth and suppressed her anger. “I’ll definitely take your words to heart.”

When she stepped off the stage, she suddenly spotted Henry in a corner of the hall. He was looking at her with an unfathomable gaze.
She felt a pit in her stomach as she recalled calling him from the police station. Her plea for help had been met with a cold refusal.
She slowly walked up toward him and gave him an unfriendly look. “Are you here to laugh at me?”
Henry shook his head. “I just wanted to see what the person I’ve loved for so many years is truly like.”
Snow sneered. “You must be very disappointed. I’m not the innocent little angel you fell for.”
The change in her demeanor left him perplexed.
He had always believed that she was a gentle and kind person, but he realized that love had blinded him.
Even though he had seen her true self, he continued to hold on to his belief and repeatedly made
excuses for her.
“Snow, we could have been together. Why did you do this?”
Snow remained cold and said, “No reason. I’ve always been this way. I first broke up with you and went abroad because I realized that we weren’t compatible. But after I returned, I found that I still had feelings for you and wanted to give it another try. It just didn’t work out.”
Henry’s face turned pale in an instant. He had been considering the option to get back with her over
the
past
few days. However, that no longer seemed relevant.
“I understand.”
He then walked away without a second thought. He was finally determined to end his relationship with her.
Snow was hurt, but they were going to break up no matter what. It was better to end things as soon as possible.
She went upstairs with a heavy heart. Her sole role at tonight’s dinner party was to apologize on stage and let Silvia embarrass her. She would not forget the humiliation that Silvia had brought her.
Idris and Mindy had also received an invitation from Nathan. However, they decided not to attend after they learned about his intentions.
At 8 p.m., Ada returned home with tear–stained cheeks.
Mindy was watching TV and waiting for her in the living room. She was taken aback when she saw Ada’s appearance. She quickly sat her down on the couch.
“What happened? Did Silvia mistreat you again?!”
Ada shook her head and said in a shaky voice, “Mom, don’t blame her. After all, she’s married to Neil. He loves me, so I understand why she hates me.”
Mindy frowned and said, “Tell me everything! If it’s her fault, I won’t let her get away with it!”
Ada sobbed uncontrollably and said, “Neil previously bought a necklace in Ceattle. I thought it was a gift for my birthday, but Silvia wore it at the party today.”
“She would even snatch away your birthday gift! How could she?! I need to confront her!”
Ada quickly tried to stop Mindy. “Mom, please don’t. I don’t want you to be humiliated as well. Just pretend that you didn’t hear me. I don’t want to put Neil in a difficult situation.”
Seeing the tears on her face, Mindy sighed and wiped them off with a tissue.
“Ada, you’re too kind.”
“I’m content as long as you and Dad still love me. As for Neil, I guess we’re just not meant to be.”
Mindy gently patted her on the back and whispered reassuringly, “Don’t worry. I’ll make sure Silvia divorces him.”
