Chapter 233
Right then, Ada realized that Neil was in a bad mood. Her smile slowly faded.
“What’s wrong, Neil?”
Once they were the only ones left in the lounge, he looked at her and said, “Have a seat.”
Ada sat opposite him, and he picked up the wine glass before him. “I haven’t congratulated you for getting through the first round of the competition.”
Hearing this, she immediately picked up another glass with a shy smile on her face.
“Thank you, Neil.”
He stared at her as she finished the glass of wine. His face was devoid of emotions.
“By the way, are you here to support me?”
Neil swirled the red wine in his glass and spoke curtly, “No.“.
Ada’s face turned pale. She bit her lower lip and said, “In that case, you’re here for-”
“I came because of Silvia.”
“Why?”
She stood up abruptly and stared at him in anger. “Is Silvia a lot better than me? Why have you treated me so coldly ever since I returned to the country? Are you still mad at me?”
Neil cocked his eyebrow in disbelief and said “It looks like I’ve been too kind to you in the past. That’s why you’re confused right now.”
“What do you mean?”
Ada was incredulous and bewildered. She looked hurt as she stared at him.
Suddenly, she realized that something was wrong with her. It felt like…
“What did you do to me?”
Neil lowered his gaze with a ruthless expression that could make one shudder.
“I just did the same thing you did to Silvia.”
Her eyes widened as she fell weakly on the couch.
“Neil, what are you… talking about? Why don’t I understand?”
Neil stood up indifferently. “You’ll find out soon.”
Ada quickly grabbed his sleeve when she noticed that he was leaving.
“No! Neil, you can’t do this to me!”
He slapped her hand away and said, “Ada, I’ve given you several chances. You have to bear the consequences of your own actions.”
Curtis brought a man into the lounge after Neil said that.
Ada came to a realization when she saw the man. She trembled as she retreated.
“No! I don’t want to! The Pond Family won’t let you go if you treat me like this! Have you forgotten what you’ve promised me?”
“I’ll keep my promise, but you have to be responsible for what you did to Silvia!”
With that, Neil left with Curtis as he ignored her desperate gaze.
He had just walked out of the venue when he heard a loud thud. People started screaming immediately after.
“Someone has jumped off the building!”
Curtis turned around to look, and his expression changed. “Mr. Remus, it’s Miss Ada Pond!”
“Get her an ambulance,” Neil said without turning around.
Curtis was drenched in cold sweat on the way back to the office. Considering how well Neil had treated Ada before, he never thought that Neil would be so heartless. It seemed like he would not be affected even if Ada died right in front of him.
However, Neil could have stopped Ada from drugging Silvia. Instead, he chose to let things unfold and only helped Silvia at the very end.
Silvia would probably be furious if she discovered the truth.
After Ada was sent to the hospital, it did not take long for Mindy, as well as Idris, to arrive.
Mindy’s eyes were filled with concern and despair when she saw the cast on Ada’s leg. “What happened? Why did you suddenly jump off the building?”
Mindy was wracked with fear when she received the news.
Luckily, it had only been a jump from the second floor. Apart from a fracture on her left leg, Ada was unharmed.
Ada was aggrieved as she cried, “Mom… it’s all because of Silvia!”
