Chapter 46
Silvia glanced at Neil with a faint smile. Then, she picked up the meatball and placed it on his plate. ” You should eat more too. After all, you need to work every day. That’s very tiring.

Ada could not stand it any longer. She looked at Neil with teary eyes and asked, “Neil, have you. forgotten your promise?”
His expression changed slightly, and he remained silent.
Sensing the tension in the air, Idris promptly intervened. “Mr. Remus, let me raise a toast to you.”
Neil did not show any disrespect, and the two of them shared a toast. Idris then brought up a different subject.
The atmosphere throughout the rest of dinner was relatively harmonious. Silvia stood up after she was done.
“I’ve finished eating.”
As she turned to leave, Neil gripped her wrist firmly and prevented her from breaking free.
“Neil, what are you doing?”
Silvia’s voice was low with a hint of anger.
Neil looked at her coldly. “Stay with me. I’m almost done with my food.”
“I want to take a walk.”
“I’ll join you, then.”
Irritation flashed in her eyes.
As she was about to retort, Idris said, “Silvia, why don’t you sit here with Mr. Remus for a while? He’s been drinking, and he’s hardly had anything to eat. You can help him to some food.”
Silvia smiled sarcastically. “Don’t you already have someone to serve him food? I think Ada’s been doing a good job. Why don’t you ask her to continue?”
Ada’s expression instantly changed. She had done that to annoy Silvia, but Silvia made it sound like
she was a servant.
She got up and looked at Silvia with a wounded expression. “I noticed that you were focused on eating, so I was just trying to help him. If it bothers you, I won’t do it anymore.”
Silvia sneered as she was growing weary of Ada’s innocent act. “You’re helping him even in bed, huh?”
Ada’s face instantly turned pale, and her b*dy began to tremble. She could not find the words to respond.

Mindy slammed her hand on the table and gave Silvia a look of pure disgust. “You’re the one who
isn’t fulfilling your duties as a wife, yet you dare criticize Ada! She’s been close to Mr. Remus since they were children. Don’t get jealous just because she served him food!”
Silvia chuckled and said, “I’m not jealous. She’s doing a great job, so I’m letting her continue.”
“How dare you!”
The atmosphere in the dining room had become unpleasant, but Silvia smiled and said, “Take your time with your meal. I’ll head back first.”
When Silvia walked away, Mindy got so furious that her face turned red. “Silvia Pond, if you leave
now, don’t bother coming back!”
“Mindy!”
Idris glared at her. His frustration was evident.
He had advised Mindy to control her emotions before Silvia’s arrival today, but she still lost her
temper.
If Neil got angry because of this, it would spell trouble for the Pond Family.
Neil glanced at Ada, who was still in tears, and said, “I’m heading back. Thank you for your hospitality, Mr. Pond.”
Idris’s expression darkened, but he mustered up the courage to say, “Mr. Remus, about the project we discussed in the study…
Neil was apathetic. “Pond Corporation can bid on the project, but your company’s capabilities will determine whether you can secure it or not.”
Idris was a little disappointed, but the opportunity to participate in the bidding was still a significant step forward. He quickly responded, “Alright. Thank you, Mr. Remus! Let me see you to the door.”
“It’s okay.”
As soon as Neil walked out of the Pond Family’s mansion, Ada caught up to him.
“Neil, don’t you like me anymore?” 1
He could see that her eyes were swollen from crying and filled with sadness.
There was a time when those eyes were really bright. Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org
“Ada, it’s windy outside. You should head back.”
