Neil ended the call after he coldly rejected Ada’s invitation.

She took a deep breath to suppress her disappointment and headed to Heavenly Joy Restaurant.

Mindy and Idris were in high spirits tonight. Jeremy and Bethany had also heard about Ada’sadvancement to the semi–finals. They called Idris and urged him to encourage her to keep up the goodwork and aim for first place.

“Ada, you’ve truly made me proud! I was having afternoon tea when I heard that you made it to thesemi–finals. The other rich ladies were so envious of me for having such an outstanding daughter!”

Ada smiled bashfully and pretended to be modest. “Mom, you’re flattering me. It’s just the preliminaryround. There are several more rounds ahead.”

“You’re so talented. I’m sure you’ll get first place!” Mindy said proudly.

“I’ll do my best!”

Idris smiled as well and said, “Ada, if you manage to win first place, I’ll give you a surprise.” “What kindof surprise?”

“If I tell you, it wouldn’t be a surprise anymore, would it?”

“This surprise is definitely going to motivate me to win!”

Everyone laughed, and Mindy handed Ada the menu. “Choose whatever you want to eat.”

“Okay.”

Just as Ada finished placing her order, Idris’s phone rang.

After he glanced at it, he stood up and said, “It’s a call from a client. I’ll take this outside.” Once hestepped out, Idris found a quiet corner to answer the phone.

“I told you not to call me for now-”

Before he could finish, a panicked voice interrupted him. “Idris, Noah has a fever. Please come backquickly!”

His expression instantly changed. “I’ll be there right away. In the meantime, use a wet towel to cool himdown!”

He quickly returned to the private room after he ended the call.

“Mindy, Ada, something urgent has come up at the company. I need to handle it right away. Please goahead and eat. If you’re still here after I’m done, I’ll come back.”

Ada and Mindy continued chatting after he left, and the conversation shifted to Silvia.

“By the way, there’s something I’m not sure if I should tell you, Mom. It’s about Silvia…” Mindy frowned,and a hint of disgust flashed in her eyes.

“Did she get into trouble again?”

Ada appeared a little embarrassed.

“She didn’t get into trouble. It’s just that… I saw her at the competition venue today.”

“What was she doing there?”

Something quickly occurred to Mindy, and her expression turned grim. “Did she replace out that you wereparticipating in the competition and try to cause you trouble?!”

Ada shook her head. “No. Actually, Silvia was working part–time at the venue. When I got there, shewas carrying water for the contestants…”

Mindy slammed her spoon on the table and angrily said, “How dare she embarrass the Pond Familyagain!”

If word spread that Silvia was working as a part–timer, the Pond Family would become a joke amongthe upper class in Ryoln City.

“Call her right away!”

Ada seemed troubled. “Mom, if Silvia realizes that I told you this, she’ll definitely have the wrong ideaagain. I just wanted to ask you to give her some money so that she won’t have to work as a part–timeranymore.”

Mindy sneered. “I won’t give her a penny! She doesn’t deserve it! Since you’re not going to call her, I’lldo it!”

She picked up her phone and called Silvia. She dialed her number several times but her calls weredisconnected.

Ada “tried” to stop Mindy, but her efforts were in vain.

Eventually, the call connected.

“Why are you calling me?”

Silvia’s indifferent tone only fueled Mindy’s anger. “Silvia Pond, I heard that you were doing odd jobs atthe design competition venue today!” she said furiously.
