Chapter 22
Ada blushed when she heard her grandfather’s words. She nodded and said, “Okay.”
She walked up to the car and spoke sweetly, “Neil, everyone’s waiting for you. Please come out.”
Silvia and Neil were still in a tense standoff when they heard Ada’s sweet but phony voice. Silvia trembled and had goosebumps all over her b*dy.
She looked at Neil with a faint smile and imitated Ada’s tone. “Neil, your beloved Ada is waiting outside the car. Can you let me go now?” 1
Neil furrowed his brows even more. He clenched his teeth and said, “Don’t speak in this tone!”
Silvia rolled her eyes. “Unless you let go of my hand.”
After a brief silence, Neil calmly released her hand. “Let’s get out,” he said coldly.
Silvia immediately opened the car door and stepped out. Ada seemed shy and excited at first.
However, the moment she saw Silvia, her expression darkened.
“Silvia?”
Ada thought. “She actually came with Neil!
“This b*tch!”
Silvia cocked an eyebrow and smiled. “Ada, you look surprised to see me,” she said.
Ada was not alone. The expression on the rest of her family members‘ faces changed when they saw
Silvia. Mindy was especially hostile to her. She glared at Silvia like she was the enemy!
Mindy thought. “She must be doing this on purpose! 1
“Ever since she returned to the Pond Family, she’s been doing everything she can to steal the limelight from Ada!”
Neil got out from the opposite side of the car. He walked up to Silvia and naturally held her hand.
His actions made Silvia frown. She wanted to shake his hand off, but she failed.
She clenched her teeth and whispered, “Neil, are you out of your mind? So many people are watching us. Aren’t you afraid of a misunderstanding?”
“Misunderstanding? We’re married. Isn’t it normal for us to hold hands?”
Silvia sneered and said nothing.
To onlookers, the two of them appeared to be engaged in a secretive conversation. It immediately sparked a flurry of reactions among the crowd.
“What’s going on? Aren’t Mr. Remus and Ada a couple? Why is he holding Silvia’s hand?”
“Ada has been abroad for three years. Even if Neil liked her before, those feelings might have faded. Silvia could have taken advantage of this opportunity to seduce Mr. Remus.”
“Hahaha. Ada is truly amusing. Earlier in the party hall, she intentionally hinted that Neil would be attending her grandfather’s birthday party at her invitation. She’s been acting as though Neil likes her a lot. I wonder if she feels embarrassed now.”
“Just like you, I haven’t been able to stand her high–and–mighty attitude for ages. Seeing this is so satisfying!”
Ada was furious when she heard their discussion. She wished she could slap Silvia in the face to vent her anger. Silvia must have deliberately ridden Neil’s car to humiliate her in front of everyone.
Ada looked at Neil with teary eyes. “Neil, Silvia, you’ve crossed the line!”
Having said that, she left the scene with reddened eyes.
Silvia looked at her back and subconsciously narrowed her eyes. Ada was as cunning as ever.
Her words might seem abrupt, but they implied something.
Not only did she show everyone that she was clueless about them coming together, but she also insinuated that Silvia seduced Neil. She was truly a conniving b*tch.
