Chapter 316
When she recalled the way Neil had looked at her, Melanie felt remorseful. However, it was too late.
Jake threw a tantrum and left right after.
Meanwhile, Silvia and Neil remained silent as they returned to the mansion.
Silvia had a cold expression. Once the car stopped at the door, she got ready to leave the vehicle.
Neil grabbed her hand as she undid her safety belt. His voice was absolutely low. “Sil, please listen to my explanation.”
Silvia looked at him indifferently. “Alright then. Explain.”
“Tonight, I found out about my mom and Ada’s plan, so I decided to play along.”
She frowned. “So, you dragged Liam into your schemes?
“Why? He just got back, and he doesn’t have any beef with you.”
Neil shook his head and softly said, “Sil, I can’t explain that to you right now, but there’s more to him than you think.”
“Alright. I won’t ask about him anymore. But moving forward, I hope you’ll tell me things before they happen. Don’t keep me in the dark”
“Alright, I understand. Have you calmed down?”
“What do you think?”
Neil was speechless.
“Why did Ada pick up the phone when I called you? Did you give her your phone?”
“No. She spilled water on my phone during dinner. I guess she did something to it when she helped me wipe it. My phone was with me the entire time.”
Silvia took his phone and discovered that it had been set to transfer calls. After she restored the original settings, she returned the phone to him.
“Next time, don’t let your phone out of your sight.”
“Okay.”
The next morning, news of Liam and Ada’s engagement spread across Ryoln City. Everyone was shocked; they did not think that things would progress so quickly between them.
At the same time, people started to talk because both Ada and Silvia were with men from the Remus Family.
“Who would’ve thought that all the Remus men would end up with the Pond sisters? What do they have that’s so special?”
“Hehe. I don’t know anything about being special, but I can see how good they are at
capturing men. Otherwise, how could a man who just returned fall in love with a woman who resembles his sibling’s wife?!”
“Now that you’ve mentioned it, something doesn’t seem right. Does he have a crush on Silvia? Since he can’t get her, did he back off and settle for Ada?”
“How is that possible? Silvia has been on her own for over a decade. How can Liam possibly like her?”
“Why not? Maybe she’s Liam’s type?”
Slowly, rumors started to spread. They were saying that Liam actually liked Silvia and that he only chose Ada as a replacement.
Ada was shopping with Snow when she heard these rumors. She got so angry that her face turned green.
That despicable Silvia had to be running around spreading rumors. Otherwise, people would be calling her the better choice instead. How could she be Silvia’s replacement?
After some thought, Ada gave Mindy a call. She vaguely mentioned that Silvia was spreading rumors behind their back.
Once the call ended, Snow smiled and said, “Ada, you don’t have to care about these rumors too much. They won’t hurt you anyway.”
Ever since she joined the entertainment industry, Snow had faced her fair share of haters. Her psyche was a lot tougher than before.
“If we don’t handle this now, my sister will definitely make things worse,” Ada said softly.
Snow did not say anything else. The two of them then walked around a little more before parting ways.
