Chapter 171
“Mr. Remus, is there a problem?”
A while later, Neil said, “See if there are any small projects in that area. Find something that we can hand to Pond Corporation.”
Curtis was bewildered, but he dared not ask any more questions.
“Okay, I’ll get to it right away.”
After Curtis left, Neil tried to send Silvia a message. However, he looked at his phone and put it down without sending anything.
Curtis quickly found some projects that they could hand to Pond Corporation.
“Mr. Remus, Pond Corporation can work on the swimming pool and greenery in the area.”
“Okay. Give Idris a call. If he comes to see me again, just let him in.‘
“Okay.”
Curtis walked away in confusion.
Why did Neil suddenly change his attitude toward Idris?
Even when Neil was in a relationship with Ada, he never helped Pond Corporation. Could it be
because of Silvia?
He felt quite certain when he thought of Neil’s fake divorce with her.
Neil was trying to pursue Silvia. It looked like his plan was to deal with her parents first so that his success rate would double!
Curtis had to be more respectful toward Idris from now on. After all, he was the father of the president’s wife.
Meanwhile, Ada finally calmed down. Just as she was about to get ready for bed, someone knocked on her door.
She opened it and saw Mindy outside.
“Ada, did you talk with Neil?”
Ada nodded and looked slightly embarrassed.
“Mom, Neil-”
Before she could finish speaking, Mindy excitedly said, “I knew that he would say ‘yes‘ to you!”
When Ada saw how delighted Mindy was, she was taken aback. “What do you mean?”
“Your father just received a call from Neil’s secretary. Remus Corporation has agreed to give Pond Corporation a few small projects in East City!”
Ada’s eyes shone with disbelief. Did Neil not reject her request with a cold attitude earlier? Why did he ask his secretary to give those projects to the Pond Family?
“Ada, why are you in a daze?”
She snapped out of it and quickly shook her head. “I… I’m on cloud nine…”
Mindy looked at her with pride. “I knew that you were the best!”
Ada had no idea why Neil would suddenly change his mind, but she sighed in relief.
It appeared that he still had some feelings for her.
“Oh yeah, I heard from your father that he’ll earn at least a hundred million dollars from these projects! You’ve contributed so much to Pond Corporation. Is there anything you want? Consider it a reward!”
“Mom, I do this of my own volition. I don’t want any reward.”
Mindy smiled and nodded. “I know, but remember that dress you like? I’ll bring you to the store tomorrow and buy it for you!”
Ada’s eyes were filled with disbelief. “Are you serious?”
She had been dreaming of that dress for a long time, but it cost over six million dollars. She only had a little over ten million at her disposal. The dress cost more than a third of her savings, so she never got around to buying it.
“Of course. Would I lie to you?”
She hugged Mindy in excitement. “I love you, Mom!”
Mindy smiled and patted Ada on the back. “You’re a grown woman, so stop acting cute! It’s getting late now. Get some rest. We’ll go shopping tomorrow morning.”
The next day, Silvia received a call from Dulcie right before she left for work.
“Silvia, Eligance sent us a letter from their lawyer this morning. They’re claiming that MY Corporation’s designer has copied their work!”
