Chapter 323


    I lowered her gaze and said, “I’ve made it clear to them that this will be thest time. I won’t get


    involved with anything family–rted after this.”


    Silvia felt the urge to say something else but refrained when she saw I’s determined look. Instead,


    she just said, “Okay. I’m d you’ve thought it through.”


    They did not dwell on the subject. After she was doneforting I, Silvia got up to leave.


    As she opened the door, she saw a woman who was about to knock on it. The woman looked like a


    servant.


    There was a hint of surprise in the woman’s eyes when she saw Silvia. “Miss Pond, why are you here?”


    “Do you know me?”


    The woman smiled. “I’m the Cooper Family’s housekeeper. You attended a party at the Cooper


    Family’s mansion with Mr. Pond and Mrs. Pond before. That’s where I met you.”


    Idris and Mindy had never taken her to any parties, so the woman must have mistaken her for Ada.


    “You’ve gotten it wrong. I’m Silvia Pond. What brings you here?”


    Belonging to N?velDrama.Org.


    The only link between I and the Cooper Family was David. The woman’s visit was probably rted


    to the photos that the reporters had taken.


    Realizing her mistake, the woman apologized and exined, “Mrs. Cooper wants to meet Miss


    Connoly, so I came to this address. I didn’t expect you to be in the room, Miss Pond.”


    Silvia frowned. Just as she was about to speak, I’s voice came from the room.


    “I’m not sure why Mrs. Cooper wants to meet me, but if it’s about Mr. Cooper, please let her know that I


    understand my position. I have no intention of getting involved with Mr. Cooper.”


    Since Silvia was around, the woman did not want to create a scene. Therefore, she left after she


    received the message.


    However, Silvia found I’s words a bit strange. She turned to I after the woman was gone. “This


    isn’t the first time, isn’t it?”


    I nodded. “Mrs. Cooper visited me after David invested in myst movie. She told me not to get too


    attached because David was only ying around. The Cooper Family would never ept an actress


    as his partner,


    In truth, Mrs. Cooper’s words were much harsher. However, I was not interested in David back then,


    so she retorted bluntly.


    Silvia frowned. “Does David know about this?”


    “I’m not sure, but he probably does. It doesn’t matter anyway. I don’t see a future with him, and I won’t


    develop feelings for him.”


    Silvia felt worried as she looked at I’s impassive expression. It seemed that I might not be as


    indifferent to David as she imed.

    However, Silvia could not meddle in her friend’s rtionship.


    “Alright, take care and get some rest. I’ll head back now.”


    When Silvia returned to the mansion, she saw Neil reading some documents on the couch.


    Surprisingly, the food on the table was still untouched. Right then, she remembered his call in the


    morning. He had suggested that they have dinner together.


    Upon hearing the door open, Neil set the documents aside and looked at her.


    “You’re back. The food’s gone cold. Give me a second. I’ll heat it up.”


    Silvia thought that he would ask her where she had been, but he did not question her.


    For some reason, she felt a little disappointed.


    While they ate, Silvia looked at him and eventually asked, “Why didn’t you ask me why I came back so


    late?”
