Silvia frowned. âDid Ada tell you that?â
Mindy sneered. âIt doesnât matter who told me. If youâre going to do such a shameful thing, why be afraid of others finding out?â
âMs. Woods, let me remind you that weâve cut ties. Even if Iâve done something embarrassing, it has nothing to do with you.â
âHow dare you!â
Mindyâs face turned red with anger. Even though she had publicly disowned her, whenever Silvia did anything embarrassing, others would still talk about the Pond Family behind their backs.
âQuit that job immediately! Iâm warning you. If I find out that youâre doing part-time jobs again, I wonât let you off the hook!â
Silvia mockingly replied, âDo whatever you want.â
She then hung up, which angered Mindy further.
Mindy was so furious that she almost threw her phone on the floor.
Ada quickly comforted her. âMom, donât be angry. Iâm sure Silvia will see things your way in the future.â
âI donât need her understanding! Iâll attend that competition in person tomorrow. If she refuses to comply, Iâll make her regret it!â Mindy said coldly.
âMom, wouldnât it be better to handle this privately? There are many people at the venue. We shouldnât embarrass her in public.â
Mindy took a deep breath and slowly said, âAda, donât worry about this. Just focus on preparing for the competition. Alright, letâs continue eating.â
Meanwhile, Silvia changed her clothes and went downstairs to meet Isla. They left for the restaurant together.
Isla had also reserved a room at Heavenly Joy Restaurant. Upon arriving at the room, they discovered that David was already there.
After they exchanged pleasantries, Isla attempted to place an order. However, David smiled and said, âMiss Connolly, hold on for a moment. A friend of mine is joining us. Is that okay with you?â
Isla wanted to roll her eyes. She wondered why he bothered to ask when he had already made arrangements.
Nevertheless, she smiled and replied, âI donât mind.â
Soon, Davidâs friend arrived.
Mr. Remus, Your Billionaire Wife Wants a Divorce When Neil entered the room, Islaâs expression changed.
David did this on purpose!
He knew that she would invite Silvia, so he asked Neil to join them!
With this realization, her expression turned cold.
âMr. Cooper, whatâs the meaning of this?â
David responded with a smile, âDo you have any issues with my friend, Miss Connolly?â
Isla sneered. âYou know that Silvia has a complicated history with Mr. Remus, yet you deliberately invited him. Whatâs your intention?â
David was about to speak when Neilâs steely voice cut through the tension.
âIt looks like Miss Connolly doesnât welcome me. In that case, I wonât join you for dinner.â
Isla wore a stern expression. Although she said nothing back, her anger was visible.
David stood up and said, âIâm leaving too, Miss Connolly. Letâs just consider this a meal.â
âHold on.â
Silvia tugged at Islaâs sleeve and whispered, âIsla, itâs okay. You donât have to be so sensitive.â
Isla turned to her with a frown and said, âSilvia, you donât have to compromise for my sake.â
Silvia chuckled. âIâm not compromising. I donât mind whoever joins us.â
Seeing that she was being sincere, Isla sighed in relief. âAlright.â
Since Silvia did not mind it, David smiled and said, âThank you, Miss Pond.â
Isla rolled her eyes at him and passed him the menu. âPlease order, Mr. Cooper.â
