Chapter 397
Silvia kept walking and replied indifferently, “No. I just felt like I wasted my time coming here today.”
Dulcie breathed a sigh of relief when she found no trace of sadness on Silvia’s face.
She was about to continue talking when Neil suddenly appeared before them.
“Are you okay?”
Silvia nodded. “Mhm. I’m just a little hungry.”
“Let’s grab a bite.”
“Okay.”
Neil nodded at Dulcie and left with Silvia on his arm.
He turned to Silvia after they got into the car.
“You can tell me if you’re sad.”
She chuckled when she noticed his concern.
“I’m really okay. I don’t care about the Pond Family anymore.”
Her complete disappointment in her family made it impossible for them to affect her no matter what they did.
“Okay. What would you like to eat tonight?”
“Steak. I haven’t had it for a long while.”
“Sure.”
Neil started the car and drove to a restaurant in Ryoln City.
Meanwhile, Silvia looked out at the passing scenery. Although the Pond Family disliked her, she had her friends and someone who loved her. That was enough, and she was at peace.
Bethany had just regained consciousness when Idris rushed to the hospital. However, he was greeted with a slap.
“Get your wife and daughter in line! Otherwise, I’ll have to reconsider your place in this place!”
“Mom, I heard about what happened. I’ll teach Mindy and Ada a lesson. Please calm down.” Bethany sneered. “Our family has never been this embarrassed! Break up with your mistress, or I’ll disown you!”
After a short silence, Idris spoke with difficulty, “I’m afraid I can’t, Mom.”
His refusal earned him a glare from her. “What do you mean?! Are you trying to drive me mad?!”
“No. Please listen to my explanation.”

“Okay. I’d like to see how you’re going to explain this!”
Idris sighed. “Sophia and I have a son.”
“What?!”
Excitement got the better of Bethany, and her joy overtook her displeasure. “Really?”
She had been disappointed with the fact that Idris had no son after all these years. However, she gradually let it go since Mindy never got pregnant again. Luckily, Brighton had a son. At least, the Pond Family would have a progeny.
Brighton and Amelia had interesting expressions, but they were not happy in the least. At the same time, they became anxious.
They wondered if their son could take over Pond Corporation now that Idris had a son as well. At that thought, they were incredibly displeased.
For a moment, everyone in the ward had different thoughts.

Idris nodded. “Yes, he’s already seven years old. I’ll bring him over to see you in a few days.‘ Bethany was restless once she learned that she had such a grown grandson. “Bring him to me now! You’ve kept this from us so well! We’ve been in the dark for years!” she immediately said. “I was worried that you wouldn’t agree at first. Besides, Pond Corporation was about to be listed when Sophia gave birth to Noah. We couldn’t afford to have any negative news. That’s why we kept it a secret.”
“Okay. That’s enough of your nonsense. Bring Noah to me this instant.”
Idris nodded and promptly called Sophia.
Meanwhile, Mindy and Ada sped to the hospital after they calmed down.
When they arrived, they bumped into Sophia at the entrance.
Mindy was dumbstruck the moment she saw the child with Sophia.
