Chapter 199
Dulcie lowered her head and glanced at the documents in her hand. “We’ve already made arrangements to release the products this morning. So far, things are looking good on the market.”
Silvia nodded. “Okay, but we can’t just stop there. We still have many other problems to solve. Have any of you found a fabric manufacturer with the right price and quality?”
The shareholders shook their heads. “Miss Pond, the prices of raw materials have risen dramatically. It’s really hard for us to find a suitable manufacturer with our budget,” Sigwald
said.
Silvia looked at him in surprise and smiled. “Mr. Reed, how much do you think we should add to our budget?”
“We don’t need to add much. I happen to have a friend who’s running a fabric business. I could discuss the price with him if you’d like, Miss Pond.”
She remained silent for a few seconds and said, “Okay. Go ahead with the discussion and give me the quotation.”
Sigwald smiled. “Okay, I’ll contact him later!”
They talked about the company’s recent development before Silvia ended the meeting.
As soon as she went back to her office, Dulcie approached.
“Silvia, please don’t agree with my uncle’s suggestion. He’s been using his status as a shareholder to work with outsiders to sell bad raw materials to the company at high prices. He’s earned a lot. After the Marketing Department found more bad reviews on our retail shops, I found a new collaborator. That’s the only reason why things are still under control!”
Dulcie got angry as she talked about it. If Sigwald thought of the company, he would get the dividend that he deserved by the end of the year. However, he was so greedy that he wanted more money.
Silvia was not perturbed. “Okay, I know what to do.”
Dulcie nodded. “Okay. Oh yeah, the designer you recruited is pretty capable. I heard from the Design Department’s director that she’s submitted two designs this morning.”
“She’s outstanding.”
If Blanche’s mother had not fallen sick, she would not have chosen to work for Reva.
When Silvia met Blanche for the first time, she saw the strong will and perseverance in her
eyes. Therefore, she decided to offer some help. The rest was up to Blanche.
Once Dulcie left, Silvia started to work on some documents.
After she was done with a few of them, she received a call from Mrs. Ward.
Silvia was a little puzzled because Mrs. Ward never contacted her.
As soon as she answered the call, she heard Mindy’s voice. It sounded like she was having a mental breakdown.

“Silvia Pond, will you only be satisfied when I die? Do you realize that your father is going divorce me if you don’t get us the project from Remus Corporation?”
Silvia was taken aback. Idris and Mindy’s relationship had not been the best, but it should not be so bad that they would divorce over a project.
However, this was none of her business.
“Ms. Woods, you called the wrong person. If you want the project, you should call Mr. Remus.” “Do you think I haven’t gone to Neil? He didn’t even want to see Ada because of you. He said that if you refuse to forgive us, he won’t give the Pond Family any projects!”
Silvia frowned. They were divorced, yet he had not gotten back with Ada. He also troubled the Pond Family?
“Do you really think I’m important enough to affect Neil’s decision? He just needs an excuse to turn the Pond Family away. Don’t look for me again. I can’t change his mind!”
She hung up right after.
When Mindy called her again, Silvia did not answer.
Mindy was so angry that she threw the phone to the floor and growled, “D*mn it! This b*tch! I shouldn’t have given birth to her!”
When Mrs. Ward saw that her phone had blacked out, she picked it up in a panic and quickly tried to switch it back on.
Ada glanced at her indifferently and said, “Mrs. Ward, you may leave. I’ll transfer five thousand dollars to you to pay for your phone.”
Mrs. Ward was a little displeased. There were photos of her and her grandson on the phone. If it was damaged, she would lose those photos.
She remained silent for a while and eventually left.
Once Ada and Mindy were left in the living room, Ada held her mother’s hand and said, “Mom, don’t be angry. It looks like we’re not getting this project back.”
Mindy’s tears immediately streamed down her face. “What should I do? Do I really have to divorce your father?”
