Chapter 200
Ada patted her on the back and comforted her. “I won’t let Dad divorce you. I’ll talk to him, so you can rest assured.”
“Okay, thank you.”
“Mom, I won’t let our family fall apart.”
After Ada said this, she got up and headed to Pond Corporation to see Idris.
When Idris went to work today, the shareholders made sarcastic remarks regarding the project he lost. As such, he had been feeling angry all day.
He subconsciously frowned when he saw Ada. “Why are you here?”
“Dad, I came to discuss something with you. I hope you won’t divorce Mom.”
Idris frowned, and his voice was filled with rage. “This is between your mother and I. Don’t interfere.”
“This isn’t just between the two of you. I’m a member of this family too. I disagree with your divorce!”
Idris snorted and snappishly said, “I lost the project from Remus Corporation because of your mother, and I’ve been dissatisfied with the company’s shareholders lately. We can avoid a divorce, but she has to convince Neil to give us back the project!”
“You know that Mom and Silvia have always had a terrible relationship. You’ll only trouble her if you do this. Besides, she’s looked for Silvia several times, but Silvia refuses to forgive her!”
Idris’s eyes
eyes were cold. “That’s none of my business. If she fails to get that project back for us, I’ll have to divorce her!”
Ada took a deep breath and slowly said, “That’s impossible. But if you stay with Mom, I can get Pond Corporation more collaborations.”
Idris was surprised, but he immediately said, “If we can’t even get the project from Remus. Corporation, we can forget about working with other companies.”
Pond Corporation had been going downhill in the last few years. This project was not just about earning money.
If they could collaborate with Remus Corporation, Idris would go through with it even if the company did not earn money.
With their connection to Remus Corporation, their success rate in collaborating with other companies would double.
“If I secure deals with other companies and promise that you’ll earn as much as you would working with Remus Corporation, will you stay with Mom?”
Idris considered it for a few seconds before he said, “Okay, but you have to fulfill your end of the bargain.”
“Deal!”
After Ada left, Idris made a call.
“I may have to postpone the divorce. Something’s happened.”
A furious female voice came through. “Idris Pond, what did you promise me? Our son is eight years old. Do you want him to grow up with others looking at him differently? You can’t be bothered to let go of Mindy and Ada, can you?”
Idris immediately said, “Believe me, you and our son come first. I’ve been working hard to manage Pond Corporation for the two of you.”
“Haha! I’m sure you know whether it’s for us or your other family! You were going to hand Pond Corporation over to Ada. Don’t ever think that I have no idea!”
Idris frowned and said, “That was before we had our son. Since we have a child together, of course I’ll hand Pond Corporation over to him!”
“You’d better keep your promise!”
The woman hung up, and Idris shook his head before he sent her a message.
[I’ll visit you and our son tonight.]

When it was time to clock out in the evening, Silvia received a message from Blanche.
[Miss Pond, I would like to invite you to dinner tonight. Do you have some time to spare?]
Silvia contemplated for a moment and replied with a “yes.”
After they clocked out, Silvia drove Blanche to a steakhouse.
When Blanche saw the prices on the menu, she secretly sighed in relief. They were within her budget.
After they ordered their food, Blanche spoke to Silvia with a serious expression, “Miss Pond, thank you very much. If it weren’t for you, I might have worked as a ghostwriter for a long time.”
“You don’t have to thank me. After all, you still have to pay me back.”
Blanche slowly said, “I know that you’re paying me three times the market rate, so I’m really grateful. I won’t let you down!”
When Silvia saw the sincerity in Blanche’s eyes, she smiled.
“I believe in you. You’ll be able to get a much higher salary in the future. You just have to stay true to yourself and continue on this path.”
Blanche nodded. “I’ll do that. I hope to be as good as you one day!”
“Keep it up!”
After they had dinner, Silvia sent Blanche to the hospital.
When Silvia returned to the mansion, she was surprised to see that it was dark.
