Chapter 290
“Yes. I agree to the condition you mentioned last night.”
After she said this, Scorpion chuckled. He seemed to be in a good mood.
“As expected, you haven’t let me down.”
Siivia was not amused. “If anything happens to the people around me, I’ll kill you no matter what it takes.”
“Don’t worry. Now that you’ve accepted my condition, I won’t harm anyone around you. I’ll contact you again in three months.”
After the call ended, Silvia took a deep breath and put her phone down. Then, she started working.
When Ada woke up in Ryoln City’s largest hotel, Triumph Hotel, she felt incredibly weak.
She slowly sat up and realized that she was in a hotel. Her face immediately fell.
However, she noticed that she was still dressed in last night’s clothing, and she felt fine. Therefore, she breathed a sigh of relief.
Her memory of last night began to return, and she remembered meeting a business partner with Curtis. She felt funny as soon as she drank some alcohol that the business partner passed to her. After that, she lost consciousnes
That aside, she vaguely remembered seeing Neil.
At that thought, Ada immediately gave Curtis a call.
“Curtis, was I drugged last night?”
He told her what had happened. When she found out that Curtis was the one who had sent her to the hotel, she felt disappointed. However, she still asked, “Did Neil come over? I think I saw him last night.”
Curtis went silent for a few seconds before he replied, “No. Perhaps you mistook him for someone else.”
Ada did not continue asking. She ended the call and freshened up so that she could leave.
As she checked out of the room, some scenes from the previous night flashed across her mind. “Whose name is my room booked under?” she suddenly asked.
“One moment, please. I’ll look into it.”
Soon, the receptionist said with a smile, “Miss Pond, your room is booked under Mr. Remus’s name.”
Ada lowered her gaze and smiled meaningfully.
She knew that Neil would not ignore her completely.
However, she frowned when she recalled how Curtis lied to her on the phone.
It looked like she had to find a chance to ask Neil to fire him. He should not be keeping a dishonest secretary!
Ada returned home in a good mood. Just as she stepped into the mansion, she saw Idris sitting in the living room with a dark expression.
She was somewhat surprised. Idris was usually not at home at this hour.
“Dad, why aren’t you at work?”
Idris glared at her and said, “Ada, why didn’t you tell me that Silvia is MY Corporation’s president?”
Ada stopped in her tracks when she realized that Idris was blaming her for this. She immediately lowered her gaze and acted pitiful. “Dad, you know that I just took on Perficient. I have so many things to work on that it slipped my mind.”
Most importantly, she did not want the Pond Family members to learn about it. Otherwise, they might change their attitude toward Silvia.
Idris frowned and fiercely said, “Next time, you need to tell me things like this immediately!”
“Okay.”
Before long, their grandparents also discovered that Silvia was the president of MY
Corporation. Bethany promptly gave Idris a call.
“You and Mindy shouldn’t favor Ada too much. You should ask Silvia to come back home for dinner sometimes.”
Idris nodded. “Alright.”
Bethany continued, “I know that you and Mindy like Ada better, but Silvia’s the president of MY Corporation. Maybe she’ll be able to help the Pond Family in the future.”
“Mom, you don’t have to worry about this. I know what to do.”
