Chapter 170
Silvia took a few seconds to respond, and her voice sounded a little indifferent. “Just tell
me on the phone.”
“It’s nothing special. I heard that Remus Corporation is planning to develop an area in East
City and turn it into a theme park. Could you help convince Mr. Remus to include Pond
Corporation in the project?”
Idris’s voice was slightly low. He had probably attempted to join the project several times
before he lowered his dignity to seek Silvia’s help.
However, she scoffed. “You should know that Neil doesn’t like me, and he won’t listen to
what I say.”
Idris paused for a while and said, “But you’re married. If you talk to him nicely, you might
come to an agreement. Just help me. Even if he ultimately refuses, it won’t affect you,
right?”
“Sorry, I can’t help you. Please look for someb*dy else.”
Silvia hung up on him, and it made him so furious that his face turned red.
Mindy sneered and scornfully said, “I told you that she never thought of us as her parents.

cent from us, so she’s showing her true colors!”
He frowned and secretly started to despise Silvia as well.
Unlike Ada, she was extremely inconsiderate. She refused to put in any effort to benefit
the family.
Did she not realize that she would only be worth Neil’s time if the Pond Family was
successful?
When Ada came home and saw her gloomy parents on the couch, she was puzzled.
“Dad, Mom, what happened? Why do you look so unhappy?”
Mindy snorted in annoyance and replied, “It’s because of work. Your father wants to
participate in the development of an area in East City. He tried to meet up with Neil
several times, but he never got a
chance.
“He called Silvia earlier and asked her to persuade Neil, but she just hung up on him. She
doesn’t respect your father at all!”
There was a cunning look in Ada’s eyes. She sat next to Mindy and said, “Mom, you know
that Neil hates Silvia. If she asks him for a favor, he wouldn’t care about her.”
Mindy pouted and coldly said, “That’s because she’s awful. It’s been three years, but she
hasn’t earned any money or helped the Pond Family. She’s a piece of trash!”
Ada smiled. “Alright, stop criticizing her like that. I’ll try to help.”
“You’ve been busy preparing for the design competition. I don’t want you to be
distracted.”
“Dad is going to hand me the company one day, so I have to help it grow. But I can’t
promise that I’ll
succeed.”
Mindy’s eyes were full of joy. She tapped on Ada’s nose with affection and said, “Once you
take action, nothing can stop you.”
“Okay, Mom. I’ll head upstairs for now. I’ll let you know if there are any updates.”
“Okay.”
After Ada returned to her room, she gave Neil a call.
His phone rang for a long time before he answered it.
“What is it?”

“Neil, I heard that Remus Corporation is planning to develop an area in East City.”
Neil frowned. “Yes. What about it?”
“Mur
wants to participate in the project, and he’s tried to meet you several times. Could you let
the Pond Family-”
Before she could finish her sentence, Neil coldly interrupted her. “Ada, I’m a
businessman.”
She bit her bottom l*p. “I know. If I’m troubling you, just forget it.”
“Is there anything else?”
“No… There’s nothing else…”
Right after she spoke, she heard the disconnect ringtone.
Ada clenched her fists tightly, and her gaze turned gloomy.
Over in Remus Corporation, Neil called Curtis to his office.
“Has Idris been over here recently?”
Curtis nodded. “Yes, he was here to talk about the project in East City. Since Pond
Corporation isn’t
within our scope, I didn’t let him in to meet you.”
Neil did not respond. His gaze was intense and gloomy as he fell into deep thought.
