Chapter 132
Neil gazed at Ada and spoke indifferently, “Even if you never said it was beautiful, I
would’ve still bought it. This is my third wedding anniversary gift for Silvia.”
Ada backed away in disbelief, and her eyes continued to well up.
“You’re not lying?”
“Yes.”
The other guests began to chatter. Most of them poked fun at Ada’s overestimation of her
importance. She had assumed that Neil would patiently wait for her.
Unable to bear the mockery any longer, she quickly fled the hall.
Neil glared at those who ridiculed her and warned, “If I hear any more disparaging words
about Ada, be prepared to face the consequences!”
Silvia was unaffected by their argument, and she pushed Neil into the crowd.
Nathan had invited presidents from several prominent companies in Ryoln City. They were
eager to establish partnerships with Remus Corporation, so they stepped forward to speak
with Neil.

insights.
“If
After a while, Neil turned to see her with her head down. She seemned lost in thought, so
he said, ” you’re getting bored, you can grab a snack from the dessert area.”
She snapped out of her thoughts and said with a smile, “No, I find your discussions
interesting.”
He nodded and continued to converse with his potential business partners.
Not long after, Cora and Snow entered the hall.
When Snow spotted Silvia amidst the crowd, hatred crossed her eyes. She had lost her
role and ended up being detained for several days thanks to Silvia. Instead of seeking
revenge, she was publicly apologizing to her.
Due to this misfortune, resentment and bitterness filled her entire being.
Why was she not as lucky as Silvia? Just because that woman had Neil’s protection, she
could
humiliate her as she pleased.
Cora gently held her hand and whispered, “Snow, just endure this for now. Once Neil loses
interest in that b*tch, we’ll find an opportunity to deal with her.”
Snow lowered her head to hide the hatred in her
“Mom, don’t worry. I know what to do.”
eyes.
With their arrival, Nathan made his way up the stage to address his guests.
“Thank you all for gracing this dinner party with your presence. I’m sure many of you are
aware of the recent online scandal involving Snow. This incident has had a negative
impact on Miss Pond and caused her considerable distress. I am deeply sorry for this.
“I’ve invited all of you here tonight to provide Snow and Cora an opportunity to apologize
to Miss Pond and make things right.
Following Nathan’s introduction, Snow and Cora went up the stage as well.
Snow recounted how she had actively provoked Silvia, hired trolls to attack her, and
spread false

“Miss Pond, I’ve realized my mistakes. Please forgive me!”
Cora took the microphone from her and looked in Silvia’s direction too. “Miss Pond, when I
saw Snow being detained at the police station, I was overwhelmed with anxiety. It led to
the ill–advised decision of hiring someone to splash paint on you. Now that I look back on
it, I’m filled with regret.
“To show you how sorry I am, I’ve even brought another bucket of paint. If my apology
doesn’t placate your anger, feel free to splash this paint on me. I won’t object,” she said.
Their words spurred the guests to smirk and gossip with disapproving looks.
They were not judging the nature of their actions because every family had its dirty
secrets. They just never anticipated both of them to be stupid enough to get caught. Now,
they were forced to make a pretty embarrassing public apology.
The gazes from the crowd made Snow feel as though she were being stripped n*ked. Each
passing moment was excruciating.
Silvia looked at them apathetically. Their experience was much milder than the constant
harsh criticism she had encountered online.
