Chapter 184
“Silvia, come here quickly. Is that person at the door Neil’s secretary?”
Silvia walked up to the window and saw Curtis outside. He seemed to be holding something in his hand.
“I noticed him standing there when I woke up this morning.”
Silvia did not know what Neil was up to, so she frowned and said, “I’ll go out and take a look.”
When Curtis saw her, he hurriedly approached her. “Miss Pond, Mr. Remus asked me to deliver this.”
She looked at the container in his hand. It was from a well–known restaurant in Ryoln City. She used to enjoy the food there and often stood in line to get breakfast.
“Mr. Harrell, please take it back and tell him not to do such meaningless things in the future. We’re divorced, and I don’t want to be involved with him any further.”
Curtis looked troubled. “Miss Pond, it’d be better if you tell Mr. Remus yourself. I’m just his secretary.‘

Silvia nodded and said, “Alright, I’ll follow you to Remus Corporation right now.”
He was caught off guard.
Seeing that he was not moving, she furrowed her brows. Just as she was about to speak, a white BMW stopped nearby.
She was peeved as she recognized it as the Pond Family’s car. Why was everyone here to cause her trouble early in the morning?
The rear door of the BMW opened, and Mindy, as well as Ada, stepped out.
Mindy had a cold expression, but she did not carry the same arrogance from the day before.
She approached Silvia and said, “I realize I was wrong in the past. I shouldn’t have taken sides. I hope you can forgive me.”
Silvia looked at her in surprise. Why did Mindy’s attitude change overnight?
This was her first time seeing someone apologize so self–righteously.
Besides, she did not want Mindy’s apology.
“Ms. Woods, you don’t have to apologize to me as I have no intention of forgiving you. Also, I doubt we’ll have any future interactions.”
Mindy’s expression changed. She gritted her teeth and said, “What do you mean? Do you truly want to sever ties with me?!”
Silvia smiled. “Ms. Woods, weren’t you the one who held the press conference and declared your intention to cut ties with me?”
Mindy spluttered and grew more dissatisfied. If it were not for the collaboration between Pond Corporation and Remus Corporation, she would have taught her a lesson on the spot.
Sensing her anger, Ada quickly tugged at her sleeve. “Mom, you came here to apologize to
please se
Silvia. You promised me that you wouldn’t argue with her before you left the house. Have you forgotten?”
Mindy bit her l*p and took a deep breath. “I was thoughtless with my words before. What do I have to do for you to forgive me?” she said.
Although Silvia seemed indifferent, she had slowly run out of patience.
“Ms. Woods, you don’t have to force yourself to apologize to me. Considering Ada and Neil’s relationship, it should be relatively easy to change his mind. I have to head to work now. Goodbye.”
With that, Silvia walked to her car. After she started the engine, she lowered the window and turned to Curtis. “Mr. Harrell, please inform Mr. Remus that I’ll visit him at Remus Corporation at noon.”
Before he could respond, she stepped on the accelerator and left.
The others just exchanged glances. Eventually, Curtis cleared his throat and said, “I need to get to work as well. Mrs. Pond, Miss Pond, please excuse me for now.”
Realizing that Curtis was about to leave, Ada quickly stopped him. “Mr. Harrell, is there no other way to make Neil change his mind? You saw what just happened. My mother tried to apologize, but she refused to forgive her.”
Curtis shook his head. “Miss Pond, I don’t know what Mr. Remus is thinking. It’s best that you ask him directly.”
Mindy’s expression turned icy once she and Ada were left.
“Silvia must be doing this on purpose! She hates me for my past favoritism, so she’s trying to make me suffer! I’m fed up! How did I end up with such an ungrateful child?!”
Ada consoled Mindy and gently patted her back. “Mom, let’s return for now. Since she won’t forgive you, we’ll have to think of another way to regain the project for Pond Corporation.”
“I can tell that your dad is determined to divorce me this time. Neil clearly likes you, so why did he help Silvia this time?”
Ada was a little irritated. If Mindy had been less harsh on Silvia and tried to maintain a better relationship with her, they would not have ended up in this predicament.
It was her fault, yet she dared to question Ada.
Nevertheless, Ada smiled and slowly said, “Don’t worry, Mom. I’ll plead with Neil for help.” “I’m counting on you.”
Ada fell silent, and before long, noon came.
