Chapter 29
Neil sounded indifferent. “Answer my question.”
“No! Even if Silvia is really that shameful of a person, she’s still my sister. Why would I harm her?”
When Neil heard this, dissatisfaction filled his eyes. He growled, “I already investigated the incident. On the surface, it looks like Snow Walls did it. If I keep digging, I might find more clues. I’m giving you one more chance. Did you have anything to do with it?”
Ada was shocked by Neil’s coldness. After a while, she finally said, “Yes, I did it because I was fed with seeing you with her. I should be the one beside you!
“I’m so jealous of her that I’m going crazy! That’s why I did it! Do you find me ridiculous?”
up
Neil said coldly, “I’ll forget about it this time. Don’t play such meaningless tricks again. I hope you won’t ruin the last bit of good impression I have of you!”
After Neil hung up, he felt extremely annoyed.
It looked like he had to speed up the acquisition of MY Corporation. After he gave it to Ada, he would not give her a chance to approach him anymore!
When Silvia woke up the next morning, she received a call from Idris.
“Silvia, are you awake?”
When Silvia heard the uncertainty in his voice, she frowned. “Is something wrong?”
Idris cleared his throat before he said, “We didn’t have the opportunity to sit together and talk during your grandpa’s birthday. Today, your grandparents have asked the cooks to prepare your favorite food. Come back to the mansion and have dinner with them tonight.”
Silvia finally understood why Idris changed his attitude toward her. Unfortunately, their expectations would not be met.
She and Neil were not close, so why should she ask him to help them? She would not do so even if they
were.
“No, I’m busy. I might not have the time to go there.”
“Aren’t you a housewife? Why don’t you have the time?”
“I have a job. I’m going to work now. Goodbye.”
Idris was momentarily stunned. He only snapped out of his surprise when he heard the beep from the phone.
Mindy’s expression darkened. She asked, “How did it go? Did she agree to come over?”
Idris shook his head. “She said that she has a job, so she’s busy.”
Mindy snorted and spoke with a scornful expression, “How ridiculous! I’m guessing that she’s working as a dishwasher in a restaurant. If that’s true, she’d better quit as soon as possible. Otherwise, she’ll embarrass our family!”
Idris glared at Mindy. “Silvia is Neil’s wife. What on earth are you saying?”
“If Neil’s legs never got injured, do you think the Remus Family would want a woman who didn’t graduate from high school to be his wife?”
Silvia had suddenly gone missing before she finished high school. She never asked to continue her
studies after she returned.
Therefore, among the Pond Family members, Silvia’s qualification was the lowest. Amelia would even occasionally mock her about it. Mindy felt extremely embarrassed about it. If Ada had not performed well, Amelia would have badly insulted her!
“Mindy, I’m warning you. No matter how bad Silvia is, she’s still your biological daughter!”
“I don’t have a daughter like her! I’ll just pretend that I only gave birth to Ada!”
Mindy left after she said that.
Idris felt troubled when he looked at her.
He then called his assistant. “Find out where Silvia’s working now.”
It was 10 a.m. In a meeting room on MY Corporation’s top floor, Darrion was glaring at Silvia. He slammed some documents on the desk and coldly said, “Miss Pond, most staff members in my department have been fired, but new ones have yet to be recruited. My department is about to stop operating!
“A few collaborators are rushing for their products. The remaining staff have been working till midnight for more than a week. Some of them can’t handle the intensity of the work. They’ve asked to resign!
“You’re the cause. Shouldn’t you give me a solution?”
