Chapter 181
Silvia and Isla were watching TV and enjoying some snacks in the mansion’s living room.
When Isla heard Neil’s voice, she rolled her eyes in annoyance. “After your utterly ridiculous parents caused all this chaos, your ex–husband, who triggered this mess, just strolls in fashionably late. Tsk, they’re all so irritating!”
Isla used to think that her parents were something else. But after she met Silvia’s parents today, she realized that her parents seemed normal in comparison.
After Silvia had enough snacks, she wiped her hands with a tissue and said, “Let’s not dwell on unpleasant matters. I’m heading upstairs for a quick shower. You should turn in as well once you’re done with the TV.”
“Sure thing.”
Outside the door, Neil’s expression darkened when he heard Silvia’s response.
He glanced at Curtis coldly. “What did you tell Mr. Pond?”
Sensing his anger, Curtis stammered, “1–I told him that if he wanted Remus Corporation to collaborate with Pond Corporation, he needed to see Miss Pond…”
Neil marched toward Idris with a cold and intimidating aura.
“Mr. Pond, if you wanted to host me for dinner, you should have extended the same courtesy to my wife. I made it clear with Ada yesterday. Yet, not only did you fail to invite her, but you came here and even picked on her today!”
Under Neil’s icy stare, Idris felt an overwhelming sense of trepidation welling up in his heart.
As someone in a higher position, Neil was imposing. Even though Idris was the president of Pond Corporation, he did not possess such a commanding presence due to their difference in
status.
Idris quivered as he stammered, “M–Mr. Remus, we did call her yesterday, but she refused to come. There was nothing I could do…”
Neil sneered and said, “I only agreed to give Pond Corporation projects because of Silvia. Now that you’re causing her trouble, I have no option but to cause you trouble too!”
Idris widened his eyes in shock.
“W–Wasn’t it because Ada called you to plead for leniency? Didn’t you give us those projects for her sake?”
How could Neil possibly give them the projects because of Silvia?!
He had always hated her!
Ada and Mindy’s expressions changed drastically.
Ever since Neil agreed to collaborate with Pond Corporation, Ada had felt uneasy. She had a feeling that she was not the reason for his decision.
At this moment, her uneasiness had turned into reality. She could not believe that Neil had done everything for Silvia’s sake!
Chapter 181
How could it be possible?!
Mindy clenched her teeth and shot Ada an angry look. “Ada, didn’t you tell me you managed to convince Mr. Remus the other day?! What the hell is going on?!” she asked.
Realizing that Ada had lied to her, Mindy was furious.
She had spent nearly ten million dollars on a gift for Ada, yet her daughter deceived her.
However, the money spent was not Mindy’s main concern. What troubled her the most was her daughter, whom she had always taken pride in, lying to her.
She could not accept it.
Ada bit her lower l*p, and her face turned ashen. She did not know how to explain herself.
There was a cold glint in Neil’s eyes. “I never made any promises to anyone. You should find a way to apologize to Silvia. The collaboration between our companies will be postponed until she forgives you.
“If she still refuses to forgive you after a month, the projects will go to other companies.”
After he warned them, Neil left in his car without paying them further attention.
The three of them stood there in silence while they were lost in thought
Finally, Mindy broke the silence.
She looked at Ada furiously and said, “Ada, I’m very disappointed in you! I never expected you to tell such lies!”
