Chapter 395
“You need to consider the Pond Family’s welfare even if you don’t want anything from him. You’ll have
a greater right to speak in front of him if our family rises to power.”
In short, it was all for the Pond Family’s benefit.
Silvia found it amusing because the Pond Family avoided her at all costs when she had nothing to
offer. Now, they wanted her to throw her life away for the family when she was useful.
She was just a pawn for them to manipte and abandon when it was convenient.
She looked up at Bethany and stressed her words, “Forget it, Grandma. The family’s welfare has
nothing to do with me. To you, I’m not even family, and it’s the same for me. I don’t need your support,
and I won’t seek any benefits for you either.”
Bethany’s expression changed, and she retorted in dissatisfaction.
“You’ll realize how important it is to have your family’s support when you have a conflict with Neil!”
“The Pond Family will never be my support, not in the past, and surely not in the future.”
Silvia’s stubbornness irritated Bethany to no end.
“In that case, there’s nothing else I can say. I hope you won’t regret it in the future.”
Silvia calmly got to her feet. “I’ll leave you to your guests.”
Ada had been working overtime. She only rushed to the party after 7 p.m. because things had been
hectic at thepany.
Bethany was already upset with her due to the giarism incident. Her face sank when Ada arrived
late.
“This is such an important asion for Rainy, but you’rete. Are you doing this on purpose?!”
“Grandma, there’s a lot to do at thepanytely. I rushed over as soon as I was done with work,”
Ada said with a frown.
“Alright, sit down. You’ve embarrassed us enough!” Bethany said grumpily.
Keeping her head low, Ada subconsciously clenched her fists.
Bethany had always been nice to Ada, but her attitude changed drastically after the court case.
At that thought, Ada was overwhelmed with disappointment and fury.
She walked up to Mindy and sat beside her. She barely managed to stop herself from dashing out of
the hall.
However, the guests started whispering among themselves upon seeing her.
“I didn’t expect Ada toe to the party. If I were her, I would be hiding at home. I wouldn’t daree
out.”
“There’s nothing you can’t do if you’re shameless. She stole anotherpany’s designs and
N?vel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive ? material.
“It’s my first time seeing such a thing. If I were a member of the Pond Family, I would never let her out
of the house. How humiliating.”
The sarcastic and hatefulments almost made Ada lose her mind. She stood up abruptly and
instantly caught the attention of the people around her.
Mindy quickly gave her yank and shook her head. She was suffering in silence.
If they made a scene during that party, Bethany would not let it slide so easily. Both of them would be
driven out of the Pond Family.
Ada took a deep breath and spoke with her head down, “Mom, I’m going to the washroom.”
Mindy breathed a sigh of relief. “Okay. Don’t take too long.”
Not far away, Bethany wore a hideous expression as regret washed over her. She felt that she should
have stopped Ada from attending the party.
Everyone witnessed the whole thing at the main table.
“It looks like Ada is having a rough time due to the giarism,” Dulciemented.
Silvia seemed indifferent. “She made that choice.”
If Ada had behaved from the start, she would not be in this situation.
Dulcie smiled. “Yeah, you’re right.”
After she washed her face, Ada exited the washroom and bumped into Rainy.
Right then, Rainy wore a meaningful smile. She had not forgotten what Ada had done when she yed
a video during Jeremy’s birthday party. Ada had taken the opportunity to expose Silvia’s interaction with
a male model in the club.
Today seemed like a good time for payback.
