Silvia frowned. âWhy does he want to see me?â
âYouâll know when you meet him, Miss Pond.â
After a brief silence, she decided to follow Curtis.
âWhat do you want from me, Mr. Remus?â
Neil then handed her a black card.
âUse this if you donât have enough money.â
Silvia realized that he had misunderstood why she was carrying water earlier.
She bit her lip and refused to take the card.
âI donât need it. I have enough money.â
âIf you have enough money, why are you doing odd jobs?â
She could not be bothered to explain. âMr. Remus, this is none of your business,â she said indifferently.
âSilvia, if you listen to my advice and go to college, you wonât have to do such hard labor in the future.â
Detecting the disdain in his tone, Silvia frowned.
âEven if itâs hard labor, itâs still my business. I donât see it as something to be ashamed of.â
âIf you have a college degree, youâll have more options!â
Silvia nodded. âIâm not saying that youâre wrong, but I should have the right to lead my life the way I want. I wonât change something just because you say so.â
With that, she walked away.
Neilâs gaze turned cold, and he fumed with rage as he watched her leave.
Silvia was surprised to see Isla when returned to her mansion.
âYou donât have any events today?â
âYeah. Iâm supposed to be on break, but my rest got disrupted because of this one event. Iâve talked to my agent, and weâre avoiding such events in the future.â
âYou really need a good rest. You have dark circles under your eyes.â
âNo kidding. I feel like Iâve been looking tired lately. By the way, where were you today?â
âI just went out to handle something.â
Isla nodded and did not press further. âAre you busy tonight?â
âNot really. Why?â
âSince youâre free, why donât you join me and Mr. Cooper for dinner tonight? I want to thank him for his help last time.â
âSure. Iâll go upstairs and rest for a bit then.â
After Silvia headed upstairs, Isla immediately called David to ask him out for dinner.
Meanwhile, the design competition was still in full swing.
A total of over 1,300 contestants took part in the preliminary round, but only 600 would advance to the next round.
The successful contestants were finally revealed after 6 p.m.
Ada and Rita were among the qualified ones.
Ada was not surprised by the results. The scores in the first round were on a 100-point scale, and the gap between the contestants was minimal. She, along with several others, had scored 92.6 points.
She got up and left the stage. As soon as she arrived at the lounge, she received a call from Mindy.
âAda, you did amazing today! Your dad and I saw the results. Heâs booked a private room at Heavenly Joy Restaurant to celebrate your advancement!â
âGreat.â

ï¤Chapter 20 The Ugly Lady Strikes Back ï¤Chapter 2514 After the call ended, Ada went to see Neil, but the staff informed her that he had left long ago.
She was disappointed. In the past, whenever she painted in her studio, Neil would wait for her no matter how late it was. His attitude toward her had completely changed.
She felt even sadder as she reminisced about it.
After some hesitation, she decided to give him a call.
âNeil, Iâve made it to the next round. My parents have booked a private room at Heavenly Joy Restaurant to celebrate. Would you like to join us for dinner?â
âCongratulations. I have something to do tonight, so I wonât be able to make it.â
