Isla lowered her gaze and said, âIâve made it clear to them that this will be the last time. I wonât get involved with anything family-related after this.â
Silvia felt the urge to say something else but refrained when she saw Islaâs determined look. Instead, she just said, âOkay. Iâm glad youâve thought it through.â
They did not dwell on the subject. After she was done comforting Isla, Silvia got up to leave.
As she opened the door, she saw a woman who was about to knock on it. The woman looked like a servant.
There was a hint of surprise in the womanâs eyes when she saw Silvia. âMiss Pond, why are you here?â
âDo you know me?â
The woman smiled. âIâm the Cooper Familyâs housekeeper. You attended a party at the Cooper Familyâs mansion with Mr. Pond and Mrs. Pond before. Thatâs where I met you.â
Idris and Mindy had never taken her to any parties, so the woman must have mistaken her for Ada.
âYouâve gotten it wrong. Iâm Silvia Pond. What brings you here?â
The only link between Isla and the Cooper Family was David. The womanâs visit was probably related to the photos that the reporters had taken.
Realizing her mistake, the woman apologized and explained, âMrs. Cooper wants to meet Miss Connoly, so I came to this address. I didnât expect you to be in the room, Miss Pond.â
Silvia frowned. Just as she was about to speak, Islaâs voice came from the room.
âIâm not sure why Mrs. Cooper wants to meet me, but if itâs about Mr. Cooper, please let her know that I understand my position. I have no intention of getting involved with Mr. Cooper.â
Since Silvia was around, the woman did not want to create a scene. Therefore, she left after she received the message.
However, Silvia found Islaâs words a bit strange. She turned to Isla after the woman was gone.
âThis isnât the first time, isnât it?â
Isla nodded. âMrs. Cooper visited me after David invested in my last movie. She told me not to get too attached because David was only playing around. The Cooper Family would never accept an actress as his partner.â

Silvia frowned. âDoes David know about this?â
âIâm not sure, but he probably does. It doesnât matter anyway. I donât see a future with him, and I wonât develop feelings for him.â
Silvia felt worried as she looked at Islaâs impassive expression. It seemed that Isla might not be as indifferent to David as she claimed.
However, Silvia could not meddle in her friendâs relationship.
âAlright, take care and get some rest. Iâll head back now.â
When Silvia returned to the mansion, she saw Neil reading some documents on the couch. Surprisingly, the food on the table was still untouched.
Right then, she remembered his call in the morning. He had suggested that they have dinner together.
Upon hearing the door open, Neil set the documents aside and looked at her.
âYouâre back. The foodâs gone cold. Give me a second. Iâll heat it up.â
Silvia thought that he would ask her where she had been, but he did not question her.
For some reason, she felt a little disappointed.
While they ate, Silvia looked at him and eventually asked, âWhy didnât you ask me why I came back so late?â
