Silvia did not care about how Nell reacted to her words. She fetched some water from the bathroom
and wiped his b*dy clean.
After she was done, she prepared to return to the living room. Just then, the doorbell suddenly rang.
As she approached the door and caught sight of Mrs. Martin, surprise flickered in her eyes.
Once she opened the door, Mrs. Martin quickly said, “Miss Pond, Mr. Pond has been quite upset since you reported Mrs. Walls and Miss Walls to the police. The family might resort to coercive measures because you refuse to go back. Please be careful during this period.”
Silvia felt touched. From the time she rejoined the Pond Family, she had faced consistent disdain. from everyone. Mrs. Martin was the only one who had shown her concern and initiated conversations
with her.
“I understand, Mrs. Martin. It’s quite late, so you should go back.”
After Mrs. Martin left, Silvia felt a little uneasy as if something bad might happen soon.
The next morning, the ringing of her phone woke her up. Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
“Silvia, turn on the news. Your mother’s holding a press conference to disown you!”
Silvia rubbed her temples as she got out of bed and powered on her computer.
Soon, she found the live broadcast of Mindy’s press conference. Mindy was sitting in front of a swarm of reporters. Her eyes were red from crying, and she appeared worn out. She was portraying a mother
whose heart had been broken by her daughter.
Mindy played a recording of her conversation with Silvia yesterday. Of course, she had cleverly edited out the earlier portions. She only included the part where Silvia said that they were not meant to be mother and daughter.
After she played the recording, Mindy buried her face in her hands and cried. It took a while for her to regain her composure.
“Even though Silvia only returned to the family when she was in her teens, I never imagined that she would refuse to acknowledge me as her mother. I was heartbroken last night…
She went on and on about her grievances before she finally got to the point.
“Firstly, I’d like to apologize on Silvia’s behalf for slapping Miss Walls. I’ll do my best to make amends with her. I hope that she’ll be able to forgive Silvia’s impulsive behavior.
“Secondly, concerning her involvement in a love triangle, it’s true that Mr. Remus and Ada had dated for a while. However, I don’t know much about their love lives, so I can’t comment on it.
“Finally, regarding the call she made to detain Miss Walls and Mrs. Walls, we’ll address it appropriately soon. Her father and I will personally visit them to offer our apologies.”
Silvia watched Mindy’s acting with a stoic expression. She pretended to be a mother who deeply cared for her daughter but was powerless to control her daughter’s actions. The act did not stir any
emotions in her.
The call had not ended, and Dulcie’s angry voice rang out. “Is your mother out of her mind? Isn’t this a sneaky way of shifting all the blame to you? I’m so pissed! If she weren’t your mother, I’d be on my way to confront her right now!”
Silvia remained silent for a while before she calmly responded, “Don’t worry about this. I’ll handle it on my own. Alright, I’m going to freshen up and prepare for work.”
“You’re still going to work?! Before you watched the live broadcast, your mother revealed that you worked at MY Corporation. There’s likely a horde of reporters waiting for you at the company. You’d be better off staying home for a few days.”
Silvia pursed her l*ps, and her eyes turned cold.
It looked like they really did not want to give her any opportunity to deal with this situation.
“I get it. I’ll chat with you in a bit.”
After the call ended, Silvia freshened up and left her room. She spotted Neil sitting at the dining table with a gloomy expression. Even though the housekeeper had prepared breakfast, he left it untouched.
Silvia sat beside him and took a sip of milk. Then, she turned to him and said, “If you don’t like the food, you can ask the housekeeper to prepare something else.”
He looked at her with a frown and asked, “Do you know that your mother held a press conference this morning?”
She paused briefly before she nodded and replied, “I do. What’s the matter?”
“If you need help, I can get someone to do damage control.”
Seeing the anger in his eyes, she cocked an eyebrow in surprise. “No need. I can handle it myself.”
Neil furrowed his brows even more. “Silvia, we’re not divorced yet, so it’s only natural for me to be concerned about this.”
