They stared at each other in silence, and nobody was willing to make a concession. At that moment, the atmosphere in the room became hostile.
After ten seconds, Neil finally took his clothes and left the room.
However, he did not go to the room next door. Silvia heard him slam the door and start the car engine before he left.
She closed her eyes, but she could no longer fall asleep despite how sleepy she was.
The next morning, she headed to the venue of the design competition.
As soon as she arrived at the entrance, she spotted Ada.
Ada was wearing a cast and using crutches. Meanwhile, Mindy was aiding her with the competition.
When they saw Silvia, their expressions darkened.
Ada did not think that Silvia would tell Mindy about her attempt to drug her. If she had not lied and pretended to be upset yesterday, Mindy would have definitely been very disappointed with her.
This b*tch just could not bear to see her succeed!
“Silvia, I’m surprised that you’re still working here as a temporary staff member. Is it tiring having to walk around every day?”
Silvia ignored her and left, which made Ada and Mindy furious.
“She’s so rude. I wonder how her foster parents educated her!”
Ada pretended to be kind-hearted. “Mom, please don’t blame her. After all, her foster parents were farmers in the countryside. They wouldn’t have had the time to educate her!”
Right after she spoke, she noticed that Silvia was walking back toward her.
She was taken aback. “Silvia, you—”
Before she could finish her sentence, Silvia had already raised her hand and slapped her twice.
Ada and Mindy never thought that she would be bold enough to slap either of them in public. By the time they realized it, there were already two palm prints on Ada’s face.
“Silvia Pond, are you insane?!”
Ada hated Silvia as well, but the design competition was the most important thing for her now. She could slowly deal with Silvia after the competition!
“Mom, leave her be for now. The design competition is starting soon. Please send me inside.”
Mindy instantly snapped out of it and said, “Okay.”
Mindy sent Ada to the entrance and urged, “Ada, don’t forget to get a few autographs when you see Elia. My gambling buddies have children who are fans of hers. If you manage to get her autograph, it’ll definitely make me look good in front of my friends!”
Ada quickly nodded. “Don’t worry. I’ll get her autograph!”
“Okay. All the best with the competition!”
Mindy only left after Ada made her way inside. She then went to a nearby cafe and drank some coffee as she waited for her.
Meanwhile, Silvia received a call from Neil right after she walked into the judges’ room.
“I left my tie in your room last night. Did you see it this morning?”
