Chapter 311
When Neil returned to the study, he noticed that Ada was still standing at the door. He frowned in response.
Ada had once fallen off a mountain to save Neil. Her b*dy had been ever since. She would certainly fall sick after getting caught in such heavy rain.
After he stood by the window for a long time, Neil decided to step out with an umbrella.
Ada was about to give up when she saw someone open the door. Her eyes lit up with joy. She knew that Neil would feel sorry for her.
Neil stood a few steps away from her and handed her an umbrella with an aloof expression.
“I won’t let Pond Corporation off the hook even if you stand here until dawn.”
Ada was filled with despair. “You really can’t give the corporation another chance, Neil?”
Neil looked hostile as he slowly said, “I still owe you two conditions. Would you like to give one of them up to resolve this?”
Blood instantly drained from Ada’s face as she subconsciously took a few steps back and shook her head. “No…”
“It seems that Pond Corporation isn’t very important to you,” Neil remarked with a sneer.
Ada closed her eyes and eventually said, “I’ll find other ways to save Pond Corporation.” She left after that.
Neil stared at her until she disappeared into the rain before he went back inside.
Unbeknownst to him, Silvia saw everything.
She truly saw him as a liar. He had eagerly gone to Ada with an umbrella when Silvia was in her room even though he had just promised otherwise.
When she woke up the next early morning, Neil had prepared breakfast.
She sat down and calmly said, “It looks like Ada is gone. When did she leave?”
Neil spread some strawberry jam on a loaf of bread and handed it to her as he casually answered, “I don’t know.”
With that, Silvia stopped asking any more questions. She ate her breakfast in silence and went to work.
On the other hand, Idris was livid when he learned that Ada had failed to beg Neil for forgiveness. He smashed a glass in his rage.
“I’ll meet Silvia.”
Ada gritted her teeth and stopped him. “It’s useless even if you meet her, Dad. She’s made up her mind about cutting ties with us. She wants nothing but misery for us, so she’ll obviously never help us,”
Enraged, Idris recalled Silvia’s attitude at the hospital yesterday. “I should have strangled her long ago. Then, all these things would never have happened,” he said coldly.
There was an evil light in Ada’s eyes. She wished that Silvia had died twenty–three years ag and that Neil was still in love with her.
The thought grew uncontrollably in her mind.
“I’ll think of something, Dad. Don’t worry about it.” Ada was about to head out to work when her phone rang.
She immediately picked it up because it was a call from Melanie. “What’s the matter, Aunt Melanie?”
They met up at a cafe below MY Corporation half an hour later.
Melanie went straight to the point. “Ada, do you still love Neil?”
Ada was confused, but she nodded and confessed, “Yes, I’ll never fall in love with anyone else for the rest of my life.”
Melanie nodded and said, “I’ve come to a decision after much deliberation.”
