Chapter 322: Chapter 322

“In the future, I’ll always stand by your side and try to avoid contact with Ada.”

Silvia remained silent for a while before she nodded and said, “Alright. I hope you’ll keep your word.”

With that, the two of them reconciled. However, they both knew that it was impossible to go back to the way things were. There was also an unspoken agreement that they would not mention the matter again.

In the following week, Silvia got busy working on designs with Rita. She would often leave home early and return late.

She only knew what had happened to Isla when Scarlett called. The film executives had terminated Isla’s contract, and there were rumors online about her being a sugar baby.

“Miss Pond, things have been rough for Isla. If you have some free time, I was hoping that you could come over and comfort her.”

After she got the address of Isla’s hotel, Silvia hurried over.

Isla was surprised to see her. She frowned and asked, “Did Scarlett send you here?”

Silvia nodded. “Don’t blame her. If I hadn’t been too caught up with work and missed the updates on Twitter, I would’ve come earlier.”

“I’m fine. Scarlett tends to blow things out of proportion.”

Silvia ignored her excuses and sat beside her. “Why did they suddenly terminate your contract?”

Isla shrugged. “Snow’s boyfriend is the main investor in this movie. He threatened to pull out unless I was replaced. The director agreed to his demands since he was facing a lot of pressure.”

She had encountered such situations before gaining fame. But back then, she played supporting roles that could be easily replaced.

She did not expect to face the same thing once she was famous.

Silvia frowned. “What’s the deal with the online gossip about you being a sugar baby?”

Isla’s expression changed after she heard the question. She clenched her teeth and explained, “It’s all because of David. He came over to check on me after he learned that I was injured. A reporter took photos of us and started spreading rumors online.

“But that reporter was probably afraid of David retaliating, so he pixelated our faces in the photos. Despite that, people still found out that it was me.”

Mr. Remus, Your Billionaire Wife Wants a Divorce Chapter 321 Seeing how angry she was, Silvia remained silent for a few seconds.

“What does David plan to do?”

“What else can he do? If he comes forward, it’ll confirm that he’s the person in the photo. I don’t intend to fuss about this. The hype will die down after some time, and no one will pay attention to it anymore.”

“Alright. I was worried that you might be upset about it on my way here. Now that I see you’re okay, I feel relieved.”

Isla wore a confident smile and said, “Don’t worry. I climbed up from the bottom. How can such a trivial matter bring me down?”

Silvia smiled too. “Well, you have some free time now, so you can treat it as a vacation. You haven’t been able to rest properly in the past few years.”

Isla shook her head. “According to my mother, my brother wants to buy a house because he’s getting married soon. She asked me to help him pay for it. It just so happens that I turned down a TV series due to scheduling conflicts with “A Thousand Years.’ Since I’m not in the movie anymore, I plan to accept the TV series.”

Silvia frowned. “Isn’t the money that you give them every year enough?”

Although Isla was an actress, most of the money she earned from filming went to her family. As a result, she only had a few hundred thousand dollars left.

“My brother’s girlfriend wants to buy a house in Imperial City, and she has her eyes set on a detached villa. It costs over fifty million.”

“Isla, I think you should stop giving money to your family. Ever since you won Best Actress, you’ve given them most of the money you’ve earned. In the past, they were just like any other regular family, but they’ve never thanked you. Now, they’re asking you to buy a house for your brother’s wedding as if it’s normal. They don’t treat you as a family member at all. They only treat you as a cash cow.”

Silvia never planned to tell Isla these things. After all, she was just an outsider, and Isla had to face the truth herself.

To her surprise, it looked like Isla needed a reality check.
