Chapter 246
“We’re planning to hold a banquet tonight. It’ll be at home, so you should attend.”
Mindy’s tone was cold. One would think that Silvia owed her a lot of money if they did not know the truth.
Silvia was surprised, but she turned her down. “I’m busy tonight.”
“Silvia!”
Mindy sounded furious. “If Ada didn’t want to mend her relationship with you, do you think I would ask you to come back? If others find out that you work as a temporary staff member, you’ll embarrass the Pond Family!”
Silvia found this a little amusing. Mindy was afraid that she would embarrass the family, yet she was still asking her to attend the party. Silvia really did not understand her thought
process.
“I told you that I’m not free. If you’re afraid that I’ll embarrass you, don’t call me back. Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
She hung up immediately after, which angered Mindy.
A while later, Ada sent her a few messages.

[Silvia, why are you refusing to come back? Are you afraid that others are going to compare us? [You really don’t have to feel inferior. You didn’t live with the family for more than ten years, so it’s no
surprise that you can’t catch up to me now. Most importantly, you have to know yourself. If you stay with Neil, you’ll only make him a laughing stock.
[If I were you, I would quit already!]
When Silvia read Ada’s messages, she raised her brows in bewilderment and acted as if she never saw them.
Soon, it was nighttime. The party at Pond Mansion was filled with chatter and laughter. Mindy had gotten Ada a wheelchair due to her leg injury. She even bought her an evening dress in the latest design. The dress was very long, so it covered Ada’s injured legs.
Ada had put on light makeup and tied her hair up in a bun. Couple with her gentle disposition, she easily drew attention from those around her.
“I’m so envious of you, Mindy. How did you raise such an excellent daughter? If I were you, I would wake up smiling every day!”
“Exactly! Why is it that my child learns everything but excels in nothing? If my child were as excellent as Ada, I wouldn’t have to worry about her!”
“I wonder who’s going to be lucky enough to marry such an outstanding woman like Ada!” Mindy could not stop smiling as everyone pleased and flattered her. Pride filled her eyes, she still pretended to be humble.
“You’re too kind. Ada’s success is just the fruit of her hard work. Oh yeah, she also got the autograph that all of you wanted.”
but
When they heard this, they were delighted and in disbelief. “Are you serious? She really got Elia’s autograph?”
Mindy nodded. “Of course. I don’t have to lie about something like this.‘
Ada had given it to her, so she passed it to her friends. She then smiled and said, “If Ada didn’t know Elia, I guess she wouldn’t have been able to get her autograph.”
“It really is Elia’s autograph. What is she like? She’s a woman, isn’t she?”
“Ada, you’re amazing. If I had a son, I would ask him to marry you!”
\“Stop dreaming. Ada and the president of Remus Corporation are childhood sweethearts. She wouldn’t fall for other men. Even if Ada wants to get married, she would marry someone like Mr. Remus!”
Ada knew that they were trying to butter her up, but she still felt happy listening to their comments. Her smile appeared more sincere as a result.
“Elia’s a woman, and she’s about forty years old. She’s really friendly.”
Right after she spoke, there was a sudden commotion at the door.
Everyone looked over and saw Rita as she slowly walked into the mansion in a white dress.
Rita had won third place in the design competition. Ada knew her, but they were about three years apart, so they were not close.
In addition, Rita was nothing more than a loser in Ada’s opinion.
One of the rich women around Ada and Mindy was on better terms with Rita’s mother. The moment Rita spotted her, she walked over with a sweet smile.
“Aunt Mary, you’re attending the banquet as well?”
Mary smiled and said, “Yeah. Why didn’t your mother come along?”
