Chapter 179
As for Silvia, she only got rid of her inelegance after the Pond Family raised her for a few years.
If Silvia had tried her best to help Pond Corporation, Mindy might have looked past it and been nice to her sometimes. Now, she only wanted Silvia out of her sight!
Idris took a look at the time. It had been more than half an hour since the appointed time, yet Neil was nowhere to be seen.
He looked at Ada and said, “Ada, give him a call and ask him where he is.”
She nodded. “Okay.”
She called him several times, but he did not answer. In the end, her expression darkened.
“Dad, Neil isn’t answering…”
Idris frowned. “I’ll contact his secretary.”
He dialed the number, and Curtis quickly answered. However, his expression soon turned sour.
Mindy and Ada could sense his anger. They exchanged looks, and both of them seemed confused.
After the call ended, Idris slammed his phone on the and his eyes were full of “Remus Corporation canceled its collaboration with us!”
rage.
“What happened? Why did Neil cancel it all of a sudden?”
Idris gritted his teeth and said, “According to Curtis, Silvia needs to talk to Neil in person. She must have done something to offend him, or else, he wouldn’t have done this so abruptly!” Mindy was livid. “She’s a jinx! Ever since we brought her back, nothing good has happened to the Pond Family!”
Right then, Idris gave Silvia a call.
As soon as she answered, he snapped. “Silvia Pond, what did you do? Why did Neil suddenly cancel his collaboration with Pond Corporation?”
Silvia frowned and immediately hung up.
When Idris tried to call her again, she did not answer. This made him even more furious.
He called his secretary and ordered, “Find out where Silvia is right now!”
Silvia returned to the mansion and had dinner with Isla. Soon after, someone rang the doorbell.
When she saw an angry Idris and Mindy outside, annoyance filled her eyes.
The moment she opened the door, Idris attempted to slap her.
Silvia took a step back and avoided it. “Mr. Pond, if you’re here to make a fuss, I’d suggest that you leave before I call the police.”
The words “call the police” instantly triggered him. He pointed at Silvia and yelled, “Silvia Pond, will you only be happy after the Pond Family falls apart?
Chapter 129
“I previously asked you to speak to Neil as a favor, but you refused. After your sister called him and convinced him to collaborate with Pond Corporation, you Immediately ruined it. What are you trying to accomplish?”
Before Silvia could respond, Mindy sneered. “What else could it be? You’re just trying to get the company shares, aren’t you? But you’re only making us hate you more by dropping the ball like this!”
Silvia glared at the two of them by the door.
“Since Ada’s so great, ask her to make Neil happy so that you can collaborate again.”
“How can you ask her to clean up your mess? Apologize to Mr. Remus now!”
When Silvia saw how self–righteous Mindy was, she chuckled.
“What are your laughing at?”
“I’m laughing because you’re hilarious. I’ve done nothing wrong, so why should I apologize to him?”
Mindy was so angry that she raised her hand to slap Silvia. “How dare you say that?”
However, someone with a fair hand grabbed her wrist.
Isla pushed Mindy back and coldly said, “I thought a mad dog was barking at the door. Looks like there are two dogs who happen to resemble humans!”
The force of her push was so hard that Mindy nearly fell down. She steadied herself before she furiously said, “Silvia Pond, look at the kind of friend you surround yourself with! She doesn’t just insult others, but she also hits the elderly!”
Silvia was not having it, and she firmly said, “You have no right to comment on my friend!”
