âWeâre planning to hold a banquet tonight. Itâll be at home, so you should attend.â
Mindyâs 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. âIâm busy tonight.â
âSilvia!â
Mindy sounded furious. âIf Ada didnât 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, youâll embarrass the Pond Family!â
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.
âI told you that Iâm not free. If youâre afraid that Iâll embarrass you, donât call me back.â
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 donât have to feel inferior. You didnât live with the family for more than ten years, so itâs no surprise that you canât catch up to me now. Most importantly, you have to know yourself. If you stay with Neil, youâll only make him a laughing stock.
[If I were you, I would quit already!]
When Silvia read Adaâs 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 Adaâs 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.
âIâm so envious of you, Mindy. How did you raise such an excellent daughter? If I were you, I would wake up smiling every day!â
âExactly! Why is it that my child learns everything but excels in nothing? If my child were as excellent as Ada, I wouldnât have to worry about her!â
âI wonder whoâs going to be lucky enough to marry such an outstanding woman like Ada!â
Mindy could not stop smiling as everyone pleased and flattered her. Pride filled her eyes, but she still pretended to be humble.
âYouâre too kind. Adaâs success is just the fruit of her hard work. Oh yeah, she also got the autograph that all of you wanted.â
When they heard this, they were delighted and in disbelief. âAre you serious? She really got Eliaâs autograph?â
Mindy nodded. âOf course. I donât have to lie about something like this.â
Ada had given it to her, so she passed it to her friends. She then smiled and said, âIf Ada didnât know Elia, I guess she wouldnât have been able to get her autograph.â
âIt really is Eliaâs autograph. What is she like? Sheâs a woman, isnât she?â
âAda, youâre amazing. If I had a son, I would ask him to marry you!â
âStop dreaming. Ada and the president of Remus Corporation are childhood sweethearts. She wouldnât fall for other men. Even if Ada wants to get married, she would marry someone like Mr. Remus!â
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.
âEliaâs a woman, and sheâs about forty years old. Sheâs really friendly.â
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 Adaâs opinion.
One of the rich women around Ada and Mindy was on better terms with Ritaâs mother. The moment Rita spotted her, she walked over with a sweet smile.
âAunt Mary, youâre attending the banquet as well?â
