Chapter 18
Silvia bit her lower l*p and retorted, “Aren’t you afraid of Ada finding out?”
Neil looked at her menacingly and said, “That’s none of your concern. Just tell me whether you agree
or not.”
After she took a deep breath, Silvia stepped back and glared at him.
“I refuse!”
Neil sneered. “It looks like you’re not that eager for a divorce either.”
Silvia had regained her composure. She looked at Neil indifferently and said, “I don’t need to resort to such methods to get a divorce. I’ll make you agree to it.”
Seeing the certainty in her eyes, Neil felt irritated. “Get lost!” he snapped.
Silvia left. It was not until she exited the master bedroom that her icy gaze was gone.
Soon, it was Jeremy’s birthday. He called Idris early in the morning.
“Mr. Remus will be attending, won’t he?”
Even though Neil was Silvia’s husband, nob*dy in the Pond Family dared to disregard him. After all, the Pond Family managed to secure many contracts due to their connection with Neil.
If Neil attended Jeremy’s birthday party, the Pond Family would undoubtedly garner respect from
others.
Idris was having breakfast when he called, but he replied, “Dad, don’t worry. Even if Silvia can’t convince Mr. Remus to come, we still have Ada. Don’t you trust her?”
“Ah, I nearly forgot about Ada. Alright, then. I’ll get back to my tasks.”
After he hung up, Idris turned to Ada and instructed, “Give Mr. Remus a call. Make sure he attends your grandfather’s birthday party.
Feeling that her father and grandfather were being too anxious, Ada said, “Dad, that’s not necessary. Neil already agreed, so he’ll definitely show up. Calling him again might make it look like we have
ulterior motives.”
Ada’s reasoning made sense, so Idris nodded and said, “You’re right. When Mr. Remus arrives later, remember to take him to your grandfather right away.”
“I understand. I need to get my hair done and find a dress, so I’m heading out.”
An hour later, Ada and Snow Walls reached the largest shopping mall in Ryoln City. They strolled around as they chatted. Snow was Ada’s best friend who had recently returned to the country.
“Snow, you won’t leave again this time, will you?”
Snow nodded and spoke with a smile, “I’ve completed my work in Malland. If all goes well, I plan to settle down in Ryoln City.”
“You came back for Henry, right?” Ada teased.
Snow and Henry had been in a relationship before. However, Snow decided to go abroad for her career, which led to their breakup. Over the years, Henry never entered a new relationship. Everyone knew that he was waiting for Snow.
Snow’s face turned red from embarrassment. She pouted and glared at Ada. “Stop teasing me. I’m back because my family lives close to Ryoln City. I want to spend more time with them.”
Noticing that Snow was shy, Ada stopped teasing her. She grinned and said, “Henry’s going to attend my grandfather’s birthday party tonight. I’ll make sure that you two have some time alone.”
Snow shook her head. “No need for that. I still need to address some misunderstandings between us. I’ll handle it myself.”
“Alright. If you need my help, just let me know.”
“Sure. By the way, there’s something I want to share with you.”
“What is it?”
Snow took out her phone and played a video before she handed it to Ada. “I saw this at Charm the day I returned to the country. I’ve been debating whether to tell you.”
It was a video of Neil and Silvia appearing intimate. As Ada watched it, the smile on her face was replaced by a cold expression.
