Chapter 23
The guests already started to look at Silvia differently.
However, Silvia did not care. She even turned to Neil. "Your lover's upset. Don't you want to comfort her?"
Neil frowned and fiercely said, "Silvia, that's enough!"
Silvia smiled without a word.
The Pond Family members knew about Silvia and Neil's marriage. However, Mindy still believed that Silvia had stolen Neil from Ada.
She glared at Silvia as she said, "Why are you causing a scene in public? So embarrassing!"
Silvia had initially hoped to be welcomed back into the Pond Family. However, due to Mindy's favoritism, Silvia only regarded her as a stranger now.
"You should blame Neil. He's the one who won't let me go. I have no choice but to stay with him."
Mindy became even angrier when she saw Silvia's indifference and heard her refutes. "Silvia, watch your tone! I'm your mother. Show some respect!" she said coldly.
Jeremy frowned and sternly said, "That's enough! Stop arguing. You're going to look like a laughing stock."
Idris immediately nodded as he glared at Mindy. Then, he smiled at Neil. "Mr. Remus, come on in!"
Neil appeared indifferent as he walked into the banquet hall alongside Silvia.
Silvia was extremely annoyed. She wanted to leave immediately.
"Mr. Remus, I believe you still have some business networking to do. Can you let go of me now?"
There was displeasure in Neil's eyes when he saw her impatience. It seemed that she wanted to get away from him immediately.
"You better stay put! Otherwise, I'll tell everyone that we're married."
Silvia frowned but immediately thought of something. She chuckled and said, "Alright. Go ahead if you're not worried about people saying that Ada's a homewrecker!"
Without waiting for his response, she swung her arm out of his grasp. Then, she promptly walked away.
Neil looked sullen as he stared at her. It seemed that he had been too nice to her recently, so much so that she would give him the cold shoulder.
Silvia found an unoccupied space. Just as she was about to rest, one of the Pond Family's servants walked over.
"Miss Pond, Mrs. Pond is looking for you."
Silvia followed the servant to Mindy's bedroom. She had just entered the room when Mindy attempted to slap her.
There was a serious look in her eyes as she took a step back to avoid the slap. She glowered at Mindy.
Mindy failed to hit Silvia and almost fell. She got even angrier and pointed at Silvia as she yelled, "Silvia Pond! How could you be so evil?! You know that Ada and Neil have feelings for each other, but you still embarrass her in front of the guests! You're so shameless!" Content belongs to Novelxo.org
A hint of ridicule flashed across Silvia's eyes. She was Neil's rightful wife, but in Mindy's mind, she was the homewrecker.
Mindy's favoritism was absolutely ridiculous!
She looked daggers at Mindy. "When
Neil was paralyzed from the waist
down three years ago, Ada went
abroad and pretended to be
unaware of it. Why didn't you

"I took care of him and helped him get his legs treated. Why should I leave him now? Just because Ada's back?"
"You owe it to Ada! If it weren't for her, do you think you would've been able to return to the family? Silvia, don't take everything for granted!"
Silvia laughed in anger. She glared at
Mindy and asked, "What do I owe her? If I didn't donate my marrow to her, would she even be alive now? Back then, you were the ones who begged for me to return to the Pond Family. Do you think I would've
come back otherwise?” Content

Mindy sneered and looked at Silvia with disdain. "If you hadn't been able to donate
your marrow to Ada, you would be living a miserable life. Don't be ungrateful."
