Chapter 396: Chapter 396

“What’s wrong, Ada? Why are you in such rough shape?”

Ada forced a smile. “I’m okay. I’m just a little tired because I’ve been busy with work.”

Rainy seemed sympathetic. “Work is endless, but your health is the most important thing. Don’t tire yourself out.”

Ada nodded. “Mhm. I’ll get back to the party.”

“Okay.”

Once she was gone, Rainy slowly walked into the washroom and touched up her makeup. Then, she smiled at the mirror.

Both Ada and Silvia were merely stepping stones in her life.

A few minutes later, she returned to the hall and sat beside Amelia with a smile.

The surrounding people praised her.

“Rainy’s amazing. I heard that the university only accepted two students for this postgraduate course, and you’re one of them!”

“How wonderful would it be if I had an outstanding daughter like Rainy!”

“Amelia, what do you think about my son? Would you consider being in-laws?”

Rainy kept her head low and appeared shy.

Meanwhile, Amelia glanced at Mindy and Ada, who were sitting in silence. She was incredibly smug because Ada used to surpass Rainy. Now, Ada could no longer compare to Rainy after her big scandal.

“Rainy is still young. Besides, the youngsters these days are different from our generation. They want the freedom to choose their partners. We’re old, so we can’t meddle with that.”

“Haha! Yeah, you’re right. Nevertheless, let’s introduce them to each other one day.”

There was a large screen with photos of Rainy’s various experiences in the hall. While they chatted happily, the screen suddenly went black before it lit up again. However, the photos had been replaced with a dark video.

The crowd was stunned. Someone attentive noticed a man and a woman in the video. Surprisingly, the woman turned out to be Ada.

They seemed to be discussing business in a private room. The man was being handsy with her, but Ada endured it to sign a contract with him.

Blood swiftly drained from Ada’s face when she saw the video. She seemed to be rooted to the spot.

Bethany was livid as she gritted her teeth. “Who put this on? Turn it off right now!”

A worker nearby realized what was going on and unplugged the power cord.

The large screen quickly dimmed, but everyone had started talking about it.

The Pond Family was humiliated, so Bethany glared at Mindy. “Isn’t that the “wonderful’ daughter you raised?!”

Mindy finally snapped and met Bethany’s gaze.

“All these years, I’ve never wronged the Pond Family. When I gave birth to Silvia, that tarot reader claimed that she would ruin the family. I didn’t even object to it when you people tried to send her away!”

“Yet, I suffered in silence when you ostracized me because of it. So, I gave my all to nurture Ada. It was that old disgusting man who was handsy with her, but your first reaction isn’t to find him. Instead, you accuse her of embarrassing you. What kind of family is this?!”

“On top of that, you mock me for raising her? Well, you’ve raised a “wonderful’ son as well! We’ve been married for so many years, but he cheated on me with his secretary. This secretary also happens to be my niece! It’s disgusting!”

“Do you know why he’s not here today? He’s busy hanging out with his mistress!”

Mindy’s words shook everyone to the core.

They could not believe their ears, and they soon began to gossip among themselves.

However, Bethany’s blood pressure spiked, and she blacked out.

“Grandma!”

“Mom!”

It was a mess. All the members of the Pond Family went to support Bethany, except Mindy and Ada.

“Get the doctor!”

Please enjoy dinner before you leave. We’ll be driving my mother to the hospital. We’re incredibly sorry for this, and we’ll hold another party to make it up to you next time.”

Dulcie glanced at Silvia, who had silently lowered her head. She sneered and said, “Your mother’s rather protective of Ada. It’s a pity that she’s blind.

She mistook a lesser person for someone great.”

Silvia slowly raised her head, but she was emotionless.

“What a boring farce. I wouldn’t have come if I had known this would happen.”

After that, she got up to leave.

Her reaction left Dulcie in a daze. However, Dulcie snapped out of it and chased after her.

“I’m sorry, Sil... Do you still care about your mother?”
