Chapter 330
When she stepped into the living room, Silvia noticed that the guests were looking at her with mockery and disdain. However, they were holding back because Neil was next to her.
Silvia remained calm and stone–faced.
The moment Idris saw Neil, he greeted him with Mindy in tow.
“Mr. Remus, I didn’t expect you to attend! We’re truly honored!”
Silvia was surprised to see Idris buttering Neil up.
This time, Neil did not embarrass him. They talked briefly about the collaboration between Remus Corporation and Pond Corporation.
Since Silvia was not interested in the conversation, she told Neil that she would grab some desserts in the dessert area.
To her surprise, they had been prepared according to–her request. Why would Mindy suddenly give in?
After she picked up a piece of milk pudding, she heard a mocking voice behind her.
Only shameless a person would eat something that she acquired through threats.”
Silvia turned and saw an unfamiliar socialite. She cocked an eyebrow in surprise and asked, Were you talking about me?”
The socialite sneered. “Is there anyone else here?”
[[
Silvia was puzzled. She tried to ignore her, but her actions only made the socialite even angrier.
“Hey, Silvia Pond! Are you admitting to the shady things that you did behind the scenes?”
Silvia frowned. She turned to the socialite and coldly asked, “Could you please tell me what shady things I’ve done?”
The socialite was taken aback by her self–righteous response. After a brief pause, she gritted. her teeth and mocked her. “Everyone knows that you forced Mrs. Pond to only prepare your favorite desserts for this birthday party. You threatened not to attend otherwise. Trying to steal your parents‘ favor from your sister only makes you look more ridiculous!”
As she listened to the accusations, Silvia finally remembered that this socialite had a sickly elder sister who was left in the countryside when she was a child. She was brought back later, but her parents still felt guilty. In their efforts to make it up to their eldest daughter, they ended up neglecting their socialite daughter.
So, did she sympathize with Ada because of that?
Silvia smiled and nonchalantly said, “This has nothing to do with you.”
The socialite sneered. “It has nothing to do with me, but everyone here knows what you’ve done. You’re truly shameless if you can still enjoy that dessert.”
Silvia then ate the milk pudding in a single gulp as the socialite watched in disbelief.
“Why wouldn’t I enjoy it? If you’re buying into these baseless rumors, I can’t help but

question your intelligence.”
Silvia was about to leave the dessert area, but the angry socialite stopped her.

“Stop right there! Everyone knows that Ada loves chocolate desserts, yet there isn’t a single chocolate treat today! Isn’t it because you threatened Mrs. Pond?!”
After she said that, Ada’s voice came from behind.
“Please stop, Miss Turner. Today is Silvia’s birthday too, and catering to her preferences is as important as catering to mine. She doesn’t know that I’m allergic to vanilla. If she had known, she wouldn’t have asked my mother to prepare a vanilla cake.”
Ada appeared innocent and kind as she stood there. It was as if she had no idea that her words would immediately put Silvia in a tough spot.
As expected, Miss Turner got even more upset at this revelation. She pointed at Silvia and angrily said, “You’re vicious, Silvia Pond!”
