Chapter 320
After Ada left, Liam’s demeanor grew colder.
On the way back, Silvia and Neil were both quiet.
After the car stopped at the mansion’s entrance, Neil spoke just as Silvia was about to step out.
“About that day, I was indeed in the wrong. I promise that it won’t happen again.”
“You don’t need to promise me anything. Pretty words are useless if you can’t abide by them,” she said coldly.
She paused and continued, “I’m giving us another chance so that we won’t make the same mistakes. As for your plans to address your problems with Ada, I hope you’ll think it over carefully before you talk to me again.”
Once she was done, she got out of the car.
Over the next few days, both of them left home early and returned late. Basically they did not
see each other much. It almost seemed like they were deliberately avoiding each other.
Silvia was not in a hurry. She was waiting for Neil’s answer.
On Friday, Silvia was about to clock out when she suddenly received a call from Isla’s agent.
“Miss Pond, Isla got injured on set!”
When Silvia reached the hospital, Isla was arguing with her agent.
“Scarlett, I told you it’s just a minor injury, and I told you not to tell Sil. Why did you do it behind my back?”
Silvia pushed the ward door open and saw that Isla’s forehead and arm were wrapped in gauze. There were still hints of blood oozing out of the gauze. She could not help but frown.
“You call this a minor injury?!”
Isla and Scarlett turned their heads at the same time. Isla sighed when she saw Silvia.
“I just thought you were really busy, so I didn’t want to bother you over something like this.”
Silvia walked over to her hospital bed and sat down. Then she calmly said, “If I was the one who got hurt, would you rather I tell you about it or keep it hidden from you?”
“I would want you to tell me, of course.”
In the next second, Isla frowned when she came to a realization. “You set me up!”
“Enough about that. How did you get hurt?”
“It was an accident.”
As soon as the words left her mouth, Scarlett laughed with disdain. “What accident? There’s this new starlet, whose acting is so bad. Isla took good care of her, but she couldn’t event remember her lines. Therefore, the director reprimanded her.
“She found it unfair, so she spread rumors about Isla moonlighting in multiple shows. She claimed that no one in the crew was taking care of her, and she hated Isla for it. Today, she

found an opportunity to push Isla into the fake hill.”
Silvia frowned and looked at Isla in displeasure. “Why would you hide something like this from me?”
Seeing that she had nowhere to run, Isla glared at Scarlett and said, “I can handle it. I didn’t want you to worry, so I kept quiet about it.”
“If
If you could handle it, you wouldn’t have gotten injured.”
“I didn’t know she would resort to such an obvious and stupid strategy. After all, I haven’t seen anyone like that around me since I was awarded best actress,” Isla said helplessly.
She was now surrounded by people who pretended that all was right in the world no matter how much they hated her. So, she never thought that someone would carry out a personal vendetta while they were acting.
“What are you going to do about it?”
“Obviously, I’ll deal with her the same way. An eye for an eye. I’m not a nice person either.”
Before Silvia arrived, Isla had given the director a call and made it clear that she would not continue filming if Snow was not replaced.
Silvia nodded. Just as she was about to say something, there was a knock on the door.
Immediately after, they heard a soft voice outside.
“Miss Isla, it’s Snow. I’m sorry about what happened today. I’m here to apologize. Can you
me in?”
She then pushed the door open and walked in.

Displeasure flashed across Isla’s eyes. Just as she was about to ask Scarlett to chase her out, Snow cried out in disbelief.
“Silvia, what are you doing here?!”
When Silvia saw her, she felt that the world was a little too small.
Snow had snatched Dulcie’s boyfriend in the past, and now, she had injured Isla as well. This woman was a real menace!
