In the end, Rita broke the silence. “I won’t disturb all of you any further. Have a good night.”
Mary immediately said, “Let’s forget about this. We don’t have to take it seriously. After all, Ada’s still young. It’s normal for her to care deeply about her image sometimes. Let’s talk about something else.”
The atmosphere slowly became lively again, but Mindy and Ada knew that they had been completely humiliated.
Mindy had been holding in her anger. After the guests left, she finally slapped Ada in the face.
“Mom!”
Ada shielded her face and stared at Mindy in disbelief. Her eyes were full of despair and confusion.
“Why did you slap me?”
Idris was shocked as well. “Mindy, are you mad?”
Mindy sneered, gritted her teeth, and said, “It would’ve been fine if you didn’t know Elia, but you faked her autographs. You tricked me and embarrassed me in front of our guests. Ada, what’s gotten into you?”
Ada appeared hurt. She cried and said, “Mom, I didn’t want to disappoint you. I didn’t realize that Rita would be cruel enough to expose me in front of everyone. I’m sorry for embarrassing you.”
Idris was taken aback. He frowned and asked, “What fake autographs are you talking about?”
He had been discussing business with his collaborators earlier, so he did not notice what had happened to them.
Mindy sneered and told him about it before she furiously stormed back to her bedroom.
Idris remained silent for a while. Then, he looked at Ada and said, “This isn’t a very big deal. Just don’t take it seriously. Everyone will forget about it after some time.”
Ada nodded as she looked down and said, “Okay, Dad.”
Ada smiled and said, “That’s great. You’re really pretty, so I’m sure you’ll become famous.”
“Haha! Thank you for your kind words! I still need to film a night scene, so I’m going to get my makeup done. See you!”
After the call ended, Ada tapped on her conversation with Neil. He never attended the banquet today or congratulated her.
It looked like he was completely on Silvia’s side now.
She stared at the screen coldly. After a long while, her lips slowly curled into a sneer. She would not allow Neil to be with Silvia even if it cost her life!
Meanwhile, Silvia took a shower and got ready for bed. Just then, she received a call from Dulcie,
“Silvia, I have something interesting to tell you.”
