Chapter 368
Silvia frowned as she looked at Neil. “Why did you bring me here?”
“Ada’s in there right now. You can ask her if I showed her your designs.”
When both of them entered the living room, the group was having dinner.
Abalene was surprised to see them.
“Silvia, Neil, what brings you here?”
Ada and Liam were sitting by her side. They both turned to the door when they heard this..
Ada looked away with a straight face when she saw them holding hands.
Neil had a cold expression. “Grandma, I heard that Liam and Ada were having dinner with you. It just so happens that I need them for someth
“Have you eaten? I’ll ask the kitchen staff to prepare two more sets of cutleries.”
“There’s no need for that. We’ll leave once we’ve asked our questions.”
His gaze fell on Ada as he spoke.
“Silvia and I have something to ask you.
Ada put down her cutlery. “If this is about MY Corporation’s plagiarizing, I have nothing to say.”
“How did you manage to get Rita’s designs?”
When she met his chilling gaze, a sense of fear crept up her heart. She clenched her fists without realizing.
“What are you talking about? I don’t understand.”
Neil glared at her. “Are you really clueless, or are you pretending not to understand?”
The dining room fell into silence as he spoke.
Ada’s face slowly turned white because she was under intense pressure.
Liam was next to her, and he suddenly decided to speak up. “Neil, her sister’s company stole Perficient’s designs. You should be asking the designer from MY Corporation to apologize. Instead, you’ve come here to interrogate my fiance!”
Neil’s eyes
filled with even more hostility. “Who’s the one doing the actual copying? I’m sure Ada knows best!”
Liam chuckled. “Do you have any proof? If you’re here to pressure my fiance without any evidence, you’re plain bullying.”
Abalene had been listening to all of this. She frowned and asked, “What’s going on? What can’t we handle this as a family? Why are you making a scene?!”
Neil looked at her and calmly said, “Grandma, stay out of this. We can handle this ourselves.” Abalene furrowed her brows. Nell and Liam were both her grandchildren. It would not be right. for her to side with either one. So, she stood up and said, “I’m too old to get involved. Do ast

you please.
With that, she left the dining area,
Liam glanced at the chicken soup that she had left untouched. “Grandma has gastric, but she didn’t eat much. Send this chicken soup to her room,” he calmly said to a servant.
“Alright.”
After the servant left th the chicken soup, Liam helped Ada up and sternly said, “Nell, I hope you’ll bring proof before you question my fiance. Otherwise, don’t blame me for losing my temper!”
Before Neil could say anything, Silvia interjected, “Liam, this is between me and Ada. The both of you shouldn’t hav
gotten involved. I’d like to speak with her alone. Could you leave us for a moment?”
Liam chuckled, but there was no warmth in his smile.
“I’m sorry, but Ada’s pregnant. I don’t feel safe leaving her with others.”
Ada felt embarrassed for a moment, but she said, “It’s okay Liam. Silvia won’t harm me. Wait for me outside. I’ll talk with her for a bit.”
Liam nodded. “Alright. Call out to me if anything happens. I’ll be outside.”
“Okay.”
Soon, Liam and Neil left.
Ada smiled as she looked at Silvia. “What did you want to say to me?”
“You stole our designs, but you didn’t steal the final version. You only stole the edited version of the first draft. You don’t even know how to be a proper thief. No wonder Perficient is going downhill in your hands.”
The expression on Ada’s face was ghastly. She gritted her teeth and said, “Silvia, don’t go around accusing others blindly. How dare you accuse me of stealing MY Corporation’s designs. It’s clear that you’re the one stealing Perficient’s designs!”
Silvia smiled when she saw her lack of remorse “pon’t worry, I’ll find the evidence to prove that Perficient plagiarized our designs!”
Ada’s eyes were full of scorn. “Anyone can make big claims, but whether you succeed or not, that’s another story.”
Silvia had nothing else to say, so she left.
When she entered the car, Neil cast a glance at her. “Am I free of suspicion?”
