Chapter 334
Mindy held her hand against her cheek. She finally calmed down and realized what she had
said.
She seemed lost as she looked at the guests. When she saw their disgust and hatred toward her, she trembled and almost fainted.
Ada immediately held her up when she realized that something was wrong. “Mom, are you. okay?”
Idris was still angry as he yelled, “Leave her alone!”
After he said this, he turned around to Silvia with an awkward expression.
“Silvia, your mother didn’t mean what she said earlier. Please don’t take it to heart.”
Her eyes were extremely cold. They were all aware whether Mindy truly meant what she said.
Besides, since the facade was ruined, there was no need to uphold their image anymore.
She looked at Idris and said, “I believe everyone clearly heard what Mrs. Pond just said. Since she hates me so much, I don’t think we have to keep in contact moving forward. I’ve donated. my bone marrow to Ada, and that should be enough of a repayment for giving birth to me. From now on, I’m no longer part of the Pond Family.
Silvia wanted to leave, but Idris quickly stopped her.
“Silvia, blood is thicker than water. Your mother behaved irrationally because of her anger. Once she returns to her senses, I’ll ask her to apologize to you.”
Silvia remained cold, and her eyes were filled with determination. “There’s no need for that. I’m sure that Mrs. Pond doesn’t want to apologize to me either. Also… Mr. Pond, shouldn’t you be happy that I no longer want to associate with the Pond Family?”
Idris was momentarily stunned, and he felt a little flustered. Did Silvia find out what the tarot reader had said over a decade ago?
Although he was afraid that Silvia would bring harm to the Pond Family, it was beneficial to keep her around now that she was in a relationship with Neil. Perhaps, Neil would award Pond Corporation some projects as a result.
He was not willing to cut ties with Silvia.
“Silvia, since you’ve made up your mind, I won’t stop you from leaving. I just want to say that we’ll always be family, you can return whenever you want.”
Silvia smiled and left without turning back. Neil followed suit.
After they left, the living room fell silent. Idris said a few words to liven up the atmosphere before he asked Ada and Mindy to follow him to his study.
Idris immediately gave Mindy another slap after he closed the door. The strong force made Mindy lose her balance and fall on the floor.
“Useless! This is how you invite Silvia back home for a meal? Do you realize that we’re trying to get a huge project from Remus Corporation? If we don’t get it, Pond Corporation will be in

trouble!”
Mindy sat on the floor and started to laugh maniacally.

“Hahaha… You only care about Pond Corporation. It’s more important to you than everyone else. I really regret marrying you, Idris!”
Idris was furious when he saw her conflicted expression. “If I didn’t work hard all these years and build up the company, do you think you’d be able to enjoy such a luxurious life? While you were shopping and hanging out with your friends, I was working. You didn’t help me at all, and now you’re giving me trouble!”
Mindy sneered. “Don’t sugarcoat it. I wanted to work, but you asked me to take care of the children because you didn’t trust nannies. Now, you’re blaming me for it? It’s hard for you at work, but isn’t it difficult to take care of the kids as well?”
“That was ages ago!”
Ada subconsciously clenched her fist when she saw her loving parents arguing.
She had no idea when their relationship had deteriorated to such a point. They were attacking each other with the most vicious words.
In the past, Ada would try to break up the fight. But now, she only felt frustrated.
