Chapter 223
Chris had initially come over to confess to Silvia, but seeing her weary appearance, he
decided to wait for a more opportune moment.
“Alright.”
Silvia opened the door and entered the mansion. The living room was pitch black because
Isla had not returned from an event.
She went upstairs without turning on the lights. Then, she took a shower and drifted off to
sleep.
Ever since she turned Neil down, her life had been peaceful again. Although they were in
the same city, they never crossed paths.
Silvia had a lot of things to handle at MY Corporation. At first, she would space out
occasionally, but as she got busier, thoughts of Neil rarely came to her.
Eva resigned after she returned from Ten Miles Village. As such, Silvia asked Dulcie to hire
a new female secretary. However, they had to put the matter on hold because they had
not found someone suitable yet.
Half a month later, the design competition was held in Ryoln City.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe organizer of the competition was Williams Corporation. The day before the opening
ceremony, Blake Williams, the president of the company, invited all the judges to his home
to discuss the competition.
Silvia had other things to take care of, so she arrived late. By the time she got there, the
other judges had already left.-
Blake was surprised to see her.
“You’re Elia?!”
He knew that Elia was from Ryoln City, but he never anticipated that Elia would, in fact, be
Silvia. She was the Pond Family’s supposedly useless daughter who had gone missing for
over a decade before her return!
Did they not say that she never even graduated from high school?
Silvia nodded. “Hello, Mr. Williams.”
Blake was someone who had met countless people, so he quickly regained his composure.
He smiled and said, “Miss Pond, please have a seat.”
After he briefed her on the plan that he had discussed with the other judges, he looked at
her and asked, “Miss Pond, is there anything else you would like to add?”
Silvia shook her head. “The plan you’ve come up with is perfect, Mr. Williams. I have no
objections. I just want to make sure if the competition this time is the same as the
previous ones. The judges don’t need to show up, right?”
“Yes. Even the submitted designs will only be marked with the contestants‘ serial number
this time. Their names won’t appear. Besides, the serial numbers are randomly selected
before the start of the competition to ensure fairness.
“Alright. I have no issues with that.”
Blake still found it hard to believe that Silvia was Elia. “Miss Pond, does your family know
that you are Elia?” he asked.
“They don’t know, so I hope that you can help keep this a secret. I don’t want others to
know about this.”
Not long ago, Mindy had held a press conference to publicly cut ties with Silvia, and Blake
had heard about it. If the Pond Family discovered how accomplished Silvia was, would they
regret. their decision?
“Don’t worry, Miss Pond. I won’t tell others about this,” he quickly assured her.
“Thank you, Mr. Williams. If there’s nothing else, I’ll head back.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Alright. Do you need someone to send you back?”
“No. I drove here.”
Silvia then got up and left. As she drove away, she happened to pass Rita Williams, the
eldest daughter of the Williams Family.
Once Rita got home, she saw her father sitting in the living room with a contemplative
look. ” Dad, who was the woman that just left our house?” she asked.
Blake glanced at her and said, “Your idol, Elia.”
“What?!”
Rita was in disbelief. “Elia’s that young?! You’re not lying to me, are you?!”
At that moment, regret washed over her. If she had known that it was Elia, she would have
stopped her and asked for an autograph!
Would I lie to you? Both of you are the same age, but
Blake looked at her in annoyance. “Why she’s a judge, and you’re just a contestant.”
He got irritated when he compared them. If he had such an exceptional daughter, he
would definitely ask his wife to parade her around and brag about her. He wondered why
the Pond Family treated Silvia so poorly.
Rita glared at Blake. “Being a contestant isn’t easy! Do you know how tough it is to qualify
for this competition? Elia’s a genius who only appears once in a century. Expecting me to
match. her excellence is the same as expecting pigs to fly!”
