After some hesitation, Ada finally answered the call.
“Neil, what a surprise. Is there—”
Before she could finish her sentence, Neil coldly interrupted her.
“Ada Pond, did you ignore my warning?”
He sounded menacing. Ada also could sense how angry he was even through the phone.
She bit her bottom lip and became flustered. She knew that he would say such a thing if he had evidence.
“Neil, I did it for your sake.”
Neil sneered. “You set Silvia up for my sake? I told you not to mess with her.”
When Ada saw how he was protecting Silvia, she felt angry and jealous. She only managed to calm down after she took a few deep breaths.
“If she didn’t sneak off to have dinner with another man, I couldn’t have set her up. Am I right?”
Neil instantly fell silent.
Ada knew that she had hit a sore spot, so she continued, “Neil, I wanted to send those photos to you at first, but I thought that it’d be too easy for Silvia. I needed her to learn a lesson, so I sent the photos to the media. The entertainment news outlets just reported the truth. Silvia did have dinner alone with Chris, didn’t she?”
It took a long time for Neil to respond in a deep and gloomy voice.
“If this happens again, I won’t spare you!”
Then, he hung up.
Ada held her phone and slowly smiled.
It looked like Neil did not fully trust Silvia. Her words must have impacted his thoughts at the very least. Otherwise, he would not have spared her.
Silvia frowned. “What’s going on? Does it have to do with us having a meal together?”
Even if it affected Chris, it shouldn’t be to such an extent.
The agent told Silvia everything she had learned, which included Chris offending Remus Corporation.
Silvia remained silent for a moment before she slowly said, “I understand. I’ll take care of this. I’m sorry for troubling you.”
She sat in the living room for a long time after she hung up. Eventually, she got up and went to the study.
She barged in without knocking on the door.
Neil was in the middle of a video conference. He frowned and looked at the door. When he saw her cold expression, he told the others to pause the meeting for ten minutes. Then, he closed his laptop and looked at her.
“What’s the matter?”
