Chapter 21


    With a resigned look, Silvia said, “A new staff member identally put the dress I had designed for


    your birthday on disy. Someone took a liking to it and tried to purchase it.”


    Dulcie looked at her curiously. “What does it look like? Since we have a party tonight, can you tell


    Kimberly to send it to me? I’d like to wear it to the party!”


    “Your birthday’s still half a month away. I’ll give it to you when the timees. Now, get to work. I have


    some documents to review.”


    Dulcie tried to make Silvia change her mind but failed, so she could only resume her work.


    In the evening, Silvia received a call from Neil just as she was about to get off work.


    “I’m downstairs. When will you be done with work?”


    Neil sounded cold. He was obviously still upset about what had happenedst night. “At 5 p.m. There’s


    about ten minutes left. If you’re in a hurry, I can go down now.” “No need. I’ll wait for you.”


    Once it was time to punch out, Silvia set her work aside and headed downstairs.


    After she stepped out of MY Corporation, she noticed a ck Maybach by the road.

    She then walked up to the car. The moment she entered it, she could sense the hostility in the car.


    Neil kept his eyes on a document as he directed the driver to start driving.


    The two remained silent on their way to the Pond Family’s mansion. Just as the car was about to stop


    at the entrance, Silvia turned to Neil and said, “If someone asks why I came with you, just tell them that


    Ada told you to pick me up on your way here.”


    Neil red at Silvia. “Am I so embarrassing that you won’t even tell the truth?”


    ‘We’ve kept our marriage a secret for three years. Plus, we’re about to divorce soon. There’s no :eason


    to tell everyone about our marriage.”


    Neil sneered and spoke with ridicule, “Worried that it might hinder your search for a new husband, luh?”


    hint of surprise crossed Silvia’s eyes, but she replied emotionlessly, “I see that you understand.” Right


    before Silvia stepped out of the car, Neil grabbed her wrist and pulled her into his arms.


    he frowned as she tried to push him away, but he coldly interrupted her. “Silvia, you keep testing my


    atience!”


    t the same time, the Pond Family had heard of Neil’s arrival. Hence, they gathered outside the car to


    ‘ee him.


    Jeremy led the crowd with a smug grin.


    Neil’s appearance at the birthday party was a great show of respect toward him and the Pond Family. It


    also served as a warning to those who were scheming against the Pond Family.


    Mindy looked proud as well. Neil would not havee if it were not for Ada. It was all thanks to her


    excellent parenting!


    However, they felt a little uneasy after they waited for a few minutes. Neil showed no sign of exiting


    the car.


    The guests had seen the Pond Family’s excitement upon hearing about Neil’s arrival. Hence, they


    followed the family outside. When they did not spot Neil, they started to talk among themselves.


    “What’s wrong? Has Mr. Remus not arrived?”


    “I suppose the Pond Family must have offended him somehow, so he’s staying in the car to humiliate


    them!”


    “Hasn’t Mr. Remus taken a liking to Ada? Even if the Pond Family did offend him, wouldn’t Ada be able


    to smooth things over? Did he and Ada get into a fight, so now, he’s waiting for her to wee


    him?”


    The murmurings of the guests did not escape the ears of the Pond Family. Even Jeremy cast á nce


    at Ada.


    “Ada, invite Mr. Remus in.”
