Chapter 327
“That’s for them to worry about in the future. If you have so much free time, why don’t you worry about MY Corporation? Isn’t one company enough to keep you busy?”
Silvia was furious at how indifferent he sounded.
“Birds of a feather flock together. You’re no better!”
After she vented out her frustration, she got out and slammed the car door shut.
Neil chuckled helplessly. It looked like she had taken her anger out on him.
Isla returned to the film set in the following weeks, and Silvia no longer contacted her.
However, there would occasionally be rumors about her and David. Most involved reporters taking photos of the two dining together, while the rest were just baseless speculations.
Silvia thought about calling Isla several times to ask about her current relationship with David, but she held back
However, Isla gave her a call a week before her birthday.
“Silvia, your birthday is next Wednesday! Unfortunately, I’ll be heading into the mountains for a film shoot tomorrow. But don’t worry. I’ve already prepared a birthday gift for you. You’ll love it for sure!”
Silvia instinctively glanced at the calendar and saw that her birthday was indeed next Wednesday.
“Thank you, Isla. You must be swamped with filming, right?”
“Yeah. I’ve been working overtime and getting less than six hours of sleep every day. I’ve even lost weight.”
Silvia smiled. “Well, it can’t be helped. Keep up the hard work! By the way… have you gotten together with David?”
Following a brief silence, Isla spoke in a cheerful tone.
“No, we’re just friends. If I was dating him, I’d definitely tell you first.”
Silvia lowered her gaze and did not inquire further. They chatted about a few other things before they ended the call.
After Silvia put down the phone, she looked at the calendar and fell into deep thought.
She used to celebrate her birthday on the day her adoptive parents picked her up. But after she returned to the Pond Family, Mindy insisted on changing her birthday back to the same day as Ada’s. She did not want others to say that they mistreated her.
Although the Pond Family held birthday parties for the two girls every year, Ada would be the main focus. They would only invite Ada’s friends and people who had business dealings with the family. The decorations and food at the parties would be tailored to Ada’s preferences. Silvia could only sit far away and watch in silence as the three of them celebrated happily.
Whenever someone mentioned her, Idris and Mindy would brush them off by claiming that she was too shy to socialize.

When she initially returned to the Pond Family, she hoped for love from her biological parents. After some reflection, that seemed ludicrous.
Idris and Mindy had taught her that not all parents loved their children.
Meanwhile, Mindy and Idris were discussing how to celebrate Ada’s upcoming birthday.
“Should we throw her a birthday party as usual and invite everyone to attend? Now that Ada’s engaged to Liam, the rich families in Ryoln City won’t reject our invitation. They’ll have to consider her status.”
Mindy had become the subject of mockery among her friends because Ada had given others Elia’s fake autographs.
However, Ada’s birthday was next week, and Mindy was determined to show off to her friends. She felt proud when she thought about how Ada and Liam would appear together.
After a brief silence, Idris nodded and said, “Okay. I’ll leave it to you.”
“Alright.”
“By the way, call Silvia and ask her to come back for her birthday.”
After Idris finished speaking, Mindy stood up and coldly said, “No! I won’t allow her to set foot in our home again!”
