Chapter 72


    “Good afternoon, Miss Pond. I’m a staff member from the resort. We have a barbecue and camping


    event nned for tonight. Would you like to join us?”


    Silvia took a moment to consider. With no other ns for the evening, she decided to sign up for the


    event.


    Night descended, and she arrived at the camping site on time. She noticed that many people had also


    registered.


    The attendees were connected to Brooks Corporation in one way or another.


    Silvia did not expect to see Neil and his gang, Chris and his filming crew, as well as Abalene and her


    friends, there.


    She initially sat next to a small barbecue grill meant for one or two people in the corner. However,


    Abalene spotted her just as she was about to start grilling.


    “Silvia, join us and keep uspany!”


    She wanted to decline, but Abalene walked right up to her before she could. “It’s no fun barbecuing


    alone. You should join us, and we can have a nice chat.”


    Since Abalene was so insistent, Silvia found herself sitting with them.


    She stood out among the olderdies.


    They were all elders from other prominent families in Ryoln City. When they saw her, they asked


    Abalene who she was.


    Madam Brooks was about to speak when Abalene interjected. “This is Silvia, and I really adore her. If


    any of you have a grandson around her age, please remember to introduce them to her.”


    Silvia felt a little resigned. “Madam Remus…”


    For one, she and Neil had not finalized their divorce. Even if they had, she was not interested in diving


    into a new rtionship. Her top priority was steering MY Corporation toward sess.


    Abalene turned to her and smiled. “Silvia, don’t worry. I’ll prepare a valuable gift for you when you get


    married!”


    The others immediately spoke about the young and talented men they knew. They were enthusiastic


    about introducing them


    to Silvia.


    Neil was sitting nearby. He scowled when he heard what Abalene said.


    He had not divorced Silvia yet, but Abalene was already introducing new people to her. Why was she


    so eager to help Silvia


    cheat on him?


    David looked like he was ready for some gossip. He smiled as he asked, “Neil, are you still in the mood


    for barbecue?”


    Neil gave him a look but spoke indifferently, “If you’re bored, feel free to keep skewering the meat.”


    The barbecue event was entirely self-service. The staff only provided the meat and necessary


    ingredients, so the guests had to do the slicing and saucing themselves. The food could be


    unappetizing if they did not prepare it correctly.


    Since David was not skilled in this, he was assigned the task of skewering the meat.


    When he thought about the meat’s squishy texture in his hands, he could not help but shudder. He


    hurriedly said, “Alright, my bad. Why can’t you take a joke anymore?”

    Neil remained silent, and no one dared to approach him because of how unfriendly he looked.


    David turned his attention to Ada, who had been unusually quiet. He smiled and asked, “Ada, you’re


    not your usual self tonight. Is something on your mind?”


    She forced a smile and replied, “I was just lost in thought.”


    David chose not to press further.
