Silvia took a few seconds to respond, and her voice sounded a little indifferent. âJust tell me on the phone.â
âItâs nothing special. I heard that Remus Corporation is planning to develop an area in East City and turn it into a theme park. Could you help convince Mr. Remus to include Pond Corporation in the project?â
Idrisâs voice was slightly low. He had probably attempted to join the project several times before he lowered his dignity to seek Silviaâs help.
However, she scoffed. âYou should know that Neil doesnât like me, and he wonât listen to what I say.â
Idris paused for a while and said, âBut youâre married. If you talk to him nicely, you might come to an agreement. Just help me. Even if he ultimately refuses, it wonât affect you, right?â
âSorry, I canât help you. Please look for somebody else.â
Silvia hung up on him, and it made him so furious that his face turned red.
Mindy sneered and scornfully said, âI told you that she never thought of us as her parents. She only came back for the Pond Familyâs money. She knows that she wonât get a single cent from us, so sheâs showing her true colors!â
He frowned and secretly started to despise Silvia as well.
Unlike Ada, she was extremely inconsiderate. She refused to put in any effort to benefit the family.
Did she not realize that she would only be worth Neilâs time if the Pond Family was successful?
When Ada came home and saw her gloomy parents on the couch, she was puzzled.
âDad, Mom, what happened? Why do you look so unhappy?â
Mindy snorted in annoyance and replied, âItâs because of work. Your father wants to participate in the development of an area in East City. He tried to meet up with Neil several times, but he never got a chance.
âHe called Silvia earlier and asked her to persuade Neil, but she just hung up on him. She doesnât respect your father at all!â
There was a cunning look in Adaâs eyes. She sat next to Mindy and said, âMom, you know that Neil hates Silvia. If she asks him for a favor, he wouldnât care about her.â
Mindy pouted and coldly said, âThatâs because sheâs awful. Itâs been three years, but she hasnât earned any money or helped the Pond Family. Sheâs a piece of trash!â
Ada smiled. âAlright, stop criticizing her like that. Iâll try to help.â
âYouâve been busy preparing for the design competition. I donât want you to be distracted.â
âDad is going to hand me the company one day, so I have to help it grow. But I canât promise that Iâll succeed.â
Mindyâs eyes were full of joy. She tapped on Adaâs nose with affection and said, âOnce you take action, nothing can stop you.â
âOkay, Mom. Iâll head upstairs for now. Iâll let you know if there are any updates.â
âOkay.â
After Ada returned to her room, she gave Neil a call.
His phone rang for a long time before he answered it.
âWhat is it?â
He sounded extremely distant, and her heart sank.
âNeil, I heard that Remus Corporation is planning to develop an area in East City.â
Neil frowned. âYes. What about it?â
âMy father wants to participate in the project, and heâs tried to meet you several times. Could you let the Pond Familyââ
Before she could finish her sentence, Neil coldly interrupted her. âAda, Iâm a businessman.â
She bit her bottom lip. âI know. If Iâm troubling you, just forget it.â
âIs there anything else?â
âNo... Thereâs nothing else...â
Right after she spoke, she heard the disconnect ringtone.
Ada clenched her fists tightly, and her gaze turned gloomy.

âHas Idris been over here recently?â
Curtis nodded. âYes, he was here to talk about the project in East City. Since Pond Corporation isnât within our scope, I didnât let him in to meet you.â
Neil did not respond. His gaze was intense and gloomy as he fell into deep thought.
