Chapter 234
Mindy’s eyes shone with anger. “What happened?”
She tried to get some answers, but Ada refused to say anything and just kept crying.
“I’m calling her!”
“No!”
Ada immediately held Mindy’s hand and said, “Mom, please stop asking. I still have to
participate in the competition. Just wait until the design competition is over. I don’t want this to affect my chances of winning.”
“What did she do to you?”
Ada shook her head. “Give me some time. I’ll tell you everything once the design competition is over.”
Mindy’s eyes were filled with pity as she looked at her daughter’s current state. She
immediately said, “Okay, I’ll stop asking. Rest well.”
Idris and Mindy only left the ward after Ada fell asleep.
“Silvia has gone too far. On the first day of the design competition, Ada saw Silvia working as a temporary staff at the venue. I told her off when I met her that night, but I guess she held at grudge against Ada. She gave her trouble because she believed that Ada snitched on her!”
Idris was unhappy with Silvia as well, but considering her relationship with Neil, he did not jump to conclusions.
“We haven’t figured out what really happened. Let’s wait until Ada’s design competition is over. In the meantime, don’t go looking for Silvia. I won’t forgive you if you anger Neil and affect Pond Corporation!”
“Do you think Neil is still going to talk to her?”
Idris was taken aback. “What do you mean?”
Mindy sneered. “Silvia and Neil are divorced.”
His eyes were full of shock. He gritted his teeth and asked, “Where did you hear this?”
“Silvia said it herself. Neil was there too.”
Idris remained silent for a while before he frowned and said, “I’ll look into it. If it’s true, ask Ada to hold on to Neil! I have things to take care of at the company. Stay here with Ada. Call me if anything happens!”
Idris then left in a hurry.
“He’s been going to the c
Mindy looked at his back and muttered, more often recently. Does he really have that much work?”
The second Idris walked out of the hospital, he gave Silvia a call.
“Silvia, are you and Neil divorced?”
She did not expect Idris to call her to ask about this. Her voice sounded indifferent and cold as

she asked, “What’s the matter?”
“Come home this weekend. I need to talk to you.”
“I’m not free.”
His eyes shone with anger. He was about to lose his temper, when he suddenly recalled something. His tone softened as he said, “Silvia, I know that you’ve suffered a lot these past few years. Since you and Neil are divorced, just move back home.”
She found it hilarious. Her bedroom had been converted from Ada’s piano room. After she moved out, Mindy worked non–stop to turn her room back into Ada’s piano room.
There was no place for her in the Pond Family, but Idris was asking her to move back? If she returned, where would she stay? Would she stay in the living room or their doorstep?
Silvia chuckled at the thought.
“Why are you laughing?”
“I’m laughing because you’re naive, Mr. Pond. I’ll never go back to the Pond Family’s mansion. It was never my home,” she mocked.
Idris frowned and sounded a little stern. “Silvia, stop acting like a child. It’s not safe for you to live alone outside. Tell me your address. I’ll ask the driver to pick you up on Saturday.”
“I won’t go back, and I hope that you won’t call me again.”
With that, she hung up.
Idris’s face turned red with rage, and he called his secretary.
“Find out where Silvia is living right now!”
Over in Elm Bay, Silvia casually threw her phone aside. She blushed when she recalled what happened between her and Neil in the lounge.
Remembering that she had not identified the individual who had drugged her, Silvia’s expression immediately turned cold again.
The most suspicious person was Ada, but she had no proof to accuse her.
However, all the surveillance footage had been destroyed, and Ada
