Chapter 182
“Mom, I can explain.”
Mindy ignored Ada and got into the car.
Idris glared at Ada
too. “Look at the mess you’ve created! If the projects fall through, I won’t let you off the hook!”
He followed Mindy into the car, and their black Mercedes quickly disappeared from view.
Ada clenched her fists. After a while, she also entered her car and returned to the Pond Family’s mansion.
During the ride home, Mindy and Idris appeared extremely unpleasant as they sat in the back. There was a tense silence throughout the journey.
Both of them were experiencing some complicated emotions at the moment. They could not believe Neil cared so much about Silvia, whom they had always disregarded.
If Mindy had not been constantly speaking negatively about her, Idris’s relationship with Silvia would not have become so strained.
The more Idris thought about it, the angrier he became. He gritted his teeth and said, “Mindy, you need to find a way to mend your relationship with Silvia. We have to secure this collaboration for Pond Corporation. Otherwise, we might not make it through this
year.”
Mindy frowned and said, “You’ve always criticized her as well. If you want to apologize to her, we should do it together. I won’t bear the humiliation on my own.”
“How dare you!”
Idris’s face turned red with anger. He glared at Mindy and said, “If you hadn’t badmouthed her every single day, my relationship with her wouldn’t have soured. You need to resolve this. If you can’t do it, maybe we should consider getting a divorce.”
“What?!”
His words shocked Mindy, and she looked at him in disbelief.
“Idris Pond, I’ve given birth to two daughters for you! I’ve also taken care of the family all these years so that you wouldn’t have to worry about us! Yet, you want to divorce me over a project?!”
Inexplicable emotions flashed through his eyes. The project was not the only reason. He had witnessed Mindy shouting at Silvia earlier, and that had transformed his indifference toward her into disgust. He could not stand being in this marriage any longer.
“I’ve told you what you need to do. I don’t care how you do it. I just want the East City projects to proceed smoothly.”
Mindy’s eyes immediately turned red. She gritted her teeth and said, “Are you trying to make me lose my temper? I’ll never apologize to her!”
Idris looked at her coldly. “You can choose the divorce, then.
She sneered. “Fine, but you’ll have to give me half of your wealth.”
