Chapter 223


    Chris had initiallye over to confess to Silvia, but seeing her weary appearance, he decided to wait


    for a more opportune moment.


    “Alright.”


    Silvia opened the door and entered the mansion. The living room was pitch ck because I had not


    returned from an event.


    She went upstairs without turning on the lights. Then, she took a shower and drifted off to sleep.


    Ever since she turned Neil down, her life had been peaceful again. Although they were in the same city,


    they never crossed paths.


    Silvia had a lot of things to handle at MY Corporation. At first, she would space out asionally, but as


    she got busier, thoughts of Neil rarely came to her.


    Eva resigned after she returned from Ten Miles Vige. As such, Silvia asked Dulcie to hire a new


    female secretary. However, they had to put the matter on hold because they had not found someone


    suitable yet.


    Half a monthter, the designpetition was held in Ryoln City.


    The organizer of thepetition was Williams Corporation. The day before the opening ceremony,


    ke Williams, the president of thepany, invited all the judges to his home to discuss the


    competition.


    Silvia had other things to take care of, so she arrivedte. By the time she got there, the other judges


    had already left.-


    ke was surprised to see her.


    “You’re Elia?!”


    He knew that Elia was from Ryoln City, but he never anticipated that Elia would, in fact, be Silvia. She


    was the Pond Family’s supposedly useless daughter who had gone missing for over a decade before


    her return!


    Did they not say that she never even graduated from high school?


    Silvia nodded. “Hello, Mr. Williams.”


    ke was someone who had met countless people, so he quickly regained hisposure. He smiled


    and said, “Miss Pond, please have a seat.”


    After he briefed her on the n that he had discussed with the other judges, he looked at her and


    asked, “Miss Pond, is there anything else you would like to add?”


    Silvia shook her head. “The n you’vee up with is perfect, Mr. Williams. I have no objections. I


    just want to make sure if thepetition this time is the same as the previous ones. The judges don’t


    need to show up, right?”


    “Yes. Even the submitted designs will only be marked with the contestants‘ serial number this time.


    Their names won’t appear. Besides, the serial numbers are randomly selected before the start of the


    competition to ensure fairness.


    “Alright. I have no issues with that.”


    ke still found it hard to believe that Silvia was Elia. “Miss Pond, does your family know that you are


    Elia?” he asked.


    “They don’t know, so I hope that you can help keep this a secret. I don’t want others to know about


    this.”


    Not long ago, Mindy had held a press conference to publicly cut ties with Silvia, and ke had heard


    about it. If the Pond Family discovered how aplished Silvia was, would they regret. their decision?


    “Don’t worry, Miss Pond. I won’t tell others about this,” he quickly assured her.


    “Thank you, Mr. Williams. If there’s nothing else, I’ll head back.”


    “Alright. Do you need someone to send you back?”


    “No. I drove here.”


    Silvia then got up and left. As she drove away, she happened to pass Rita Williams, the eldest


    daughter of the Williams Family.


    Once Rita got home, she saw her father sitting in the living room with a contemtive look. ” Dad, who


    was the woman that just left our house?” she asked.


    ke nced at her and said, “Your idol, Elia.”


    “What?!”


    Rita was in disbelief. “Elia’s that young?! You’re not lying to me, are you?!”


    At that moment, regret washed over her. If she had known that it was Elia, she would have stopped her


    and asked for an autograph!


    Would I lie to you? Both of you are the same age, but


    ke looked at her in annoyance. “Why she’s a judge, and you’re just a contestant.”


    He got irritated when hepared them. If he had such an exceptional daughter, he would definitely


    ask his wife to parade her around and brag about her. He wondered why the Pond Family treated Silvia


    so poorly.


    Rita red at ke. “Being a contestant isn’t easy! Do you know how tough it is to qualify for this


    competition? Elia’s a genius who only appears once in a century. Expecting me to match. her


    excellence is the same as expecting pigs to fly!”This content ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org.
