Mindy wiped her tears and explained, “Ada, it has nothing to do with you. I cried because of your father. He wants me to apologize to Silvia and earn her forgiveness to regain the project. If I don’t apologize, he’ll divorce me.”
Ada froze for a moment before she angrily said, “How could he say that?! You’ve done so much for this family over the years. Without you, this family wouldn’t even exist!”
“What should I do, Ada? I can’t bring myself to apologize to Silvia.”
She would rather die than do that.
Ada held her hands and comforted her. “Mom, don’t worry about it for now. Let me think of a solution. If there’s no other way, I might have to urge you to apologize as well.”
Mindy was furious, and her disgust for Silvia intensified.
“Alright.”
After she comforted Mindy, Ada returned to her room and felt utterly drained.
She remembered how she had called Neil and pleaded with him to give Pond Corporation a chance. He denied her request without hesitation, but he willingly compromised his principles for Silvia. She felt a rush of anger and resentment welling up inside her.
She would not give in so easily.
After all, Neil still owed her three favors.
She picked up her phone and gave him a call.
“Neil, do you remember that I once saved you, and you promised to fulfill three wishes for me?”
He gripped his phone tightly and replied, “I remember.”
Back then, Ada never accepted or declined the offer. If she had not brought it up, Neil would have forgotten about it.
Since she wanted to invoke those three wishes, they would owe each other nothing once he fulfilled them.
The next morning, Silvia checked her phone after she woke up. She noticed that the person with the black profile picture had sent her a document on WhatsApp.
She opened the document and quickly reviewed its contents.
As she had suspected, the real culprit behind the plagiarism incident worked for Perficient.
She sneered and thanked the sender before transferring ten million dollars into the person’s account.
She did not receive a reply after that.
Silvia saved the document but did not rush to expose Reva. She had more pressing matters to deal with at MY Corporation.
She freshened up and found Isla standing by the window when she came downstairs.
“Isla, what are you looking at?”
