âMom, I can explain.â
Mindy ignored Ada and got into the car.
Idris glared at Ada too. âLook at the mess youâve created! If the projects fall through, I wonât let you off the hook!â
He followed Mindy into the car, and their black Mercedes quickly disappeared from view.
Ada clenched her fists. After a while, she also entered her car and returned to the Pond Familyâs mansion.
During the ride home, Mindy and Idris appeared extremely unpleasant as they sat in the back. There was a tense silence throughout the journey.
Both of them were experiencing some complicated emotions at the moment. They could not believe Neil cared so much about Silvia, whom they had always disregarded.
If Mindy had not been constantly speaking negatively about her, Idrisâs relationship with Silvia would not have become so strained.
The more Idris thought about it, the angrier he became. He gritted his teeth and said, âMindy, you need to find a way to mend your relationship with Silvia. We have to secure this collaboration for Pond Corporation. Otherwise, we might not make it through this year.â
Mindy frowned and said, âYouâve always criticized her as well. If you want to apologize to her, we should do it together. I wonât bear the humiliation on my own.â
âHow dare you!â
Idrisâs face turned red with anger. He glared at Mindy and said, âIf you hadnât badmouthed her every single day, my relationship with her wouldnât have soured. You need to resolve this. If you canât do it, maybe we should consider getting a divorce.â
âWhat?!â
His words shocked Mindy, and she looked at him in disbelief.
âIdris Pond, Iâve given birth to two daughters for you! Iâve also taken care of the family all these years so that you wouldnât have to worry about us!
Yet, you want to divorce me over a project?!â
Inexplicable emotions flashed through his eyes. The project was not the only reason. He had witnessed Mindy shouting at Silvia earlier, and that had transformed his indifference toward her into disgust. He could not stand being in this marriage any longer.
âIâve told you what you need to do. I donât care how you do it. I just want the East City projects to proceed smoothly.â
Mindyâs eyes immediately turned red. She gritted her teeth and said, âAre you trying to make me lose my temper? Iâll never apologize to her!â
Idris looked at her coldly. âYou can choose the divorce, then.â
She sneered. âFine, but youâll have to give me half of your wealth.â
âWhat have you contributed to Pond Corporation over the years? Why should I give you half of my wealth? The most I can offer is a portion of it. Donât even think about getting the companyâs shares or my real estate!â
âHow could you say that, Idris Pond?! When I married you, you told me that you wanted me as your partner. Iâve fulfilled that role for many years, and now youâre claiming that I havenât contributed anything?!â
âYou just take care of the kids at home, have afternoon tea, and go shopping in your free time. Do you really think youâve contributed a lot?â
Mindy found that Idris had become a completely different person. Everything was about personal gain, and she felt like a discarded pawn with no value in his eyes.
She fell silent. As she lowered her gaze in contemplation, she subconsciously clenched her fists.
Her sudden silence surprised Idris for a moment, but he continued, âYou need to figure out what to do. If we canât regain this project, weâll get a divorce.â
After that, the two of them stop speaking. Idris dropped Mindy off at the Pond Familyâs mansion and left.
When Ada returned home, she found Mindy sitting on the couch in tears. She quickly walked over and sat next to her.
âMom, did you and Dad argue because of me? Iâm sorry. I had no idea that Neil gave the project to Dad because of Silvia. After I spoke to Neil on the phone, you told me that he had agreed to include Pond Corporation in the project, so I just assumed it was because of my call.
âIf I had known that it would lead to this, I would have called Neil for confirmation. Itâs all my fault!â
Mindy gradually stopped crying as she listened to Adaâs explanation.
She saw the concern and guilt in Adaâs eyes. As a result, the anger in her heart began to subside.
Ada would always be her daughter, and nothing in the world would change that.
