Chapter 98
Neil did not answer, but Silvia decided not to press further. She put on her shoes and left the mansion.
She arrived at a coffee shop to meet Dulcie and quickly sat opposite her.
“What’s going on? Why did you ask me to meet you so urgently?”
“Silvia, my family set me up on a blind date, but I have something important to do in the afternoon. I wonder if you could meet him on my behalf.”
The idea of going on a blind date on Dulcie’s behalf almost made her spit out her coffee.
After she swallowed, she stared at Dulcie and asked, “Are you serious?”
“Of course! Please do me this favor. I have to do something truly important this afternoon!”
After some thought, Silvia said, “I’ll consider it, but what’s in it for me?”
“What do you want in return?”
“I’m leaving Ryoln City next weekend, and I won’t be back until the following weekend. While I’m away, I’d like you to take care of all my work.”
Silvia did not want to return to see a pile of documents on her desk and work overtime to catch up.
Dulcie chuckled. “Deal!”
Once they had an agreement, Dulcie sent Silvia the address of the restaurant where the blind date would be. Then, she left in a hurry.
With several hours to spare before the date, Silvia went to a nearby shopping mall because she did not want to return to the mansion and face Neil.
As she wandered through the mall, she unexpectedly encountered Snow and Ada.
The moment they saw her, their cheerful expressions immediately morphed into that of disdain.
Compared to Ada, Snow appeared much more agitated.
Her eyes filled with disgust and hatred. “Silvia, you b*tch! How dare you show your face in front of me!”
Silvia frowned and had no intention of engaging with her, so she turned to leave.
However, Snow assumed that she felt guilty and hurried to intercept her. “Stop! You’re the reason I broke up with Henry! I’ll make you pay today!”
Snow attempted to slap her, but Silvia grasped her wrist firmly. She could not break free no matter what.
“Silvia, you b*tch! Let me go!”
The next second, she received a slap in the face.
“Ah!” Snow cried out.
Silvia pushed her away coldly and said, “Your breakup with Henry has nothing to do with me. If you insist on blaming someone, it should be Ada. She has actively participated every time you’ve come to confront me.”
Ada’s expression changed slightly. “Silvia, why are you saying this?!”
“You know why!”
However, Snow had recently benefited from Ada, so she was not willing to listen to Silvia.
“You b*tch! Stop trying to sow discord! How dare you lay a finger on me! I’ll make sure you regret it!”
Snow ran forward recklessly, and ruthlessness filled Silvia’s eyes. She seized Snow’s hand and slapped her again.
“If I hear you insult me again, you’ll get more than just two slaps!”
After the second slap, Snow realized that she was no match for her. “Just you wait, Silvia Pond!” she said angrily.
Silvia did not bother responding. She released Snow’s hand and left.
Ada quickly supported her friend. “I told you before that she’s skilled in martial arts and we can’t compete with her. Why were you so impulsive?”
Snow clenched her teeth. As she thought about her failure to reconcile with Henry, hatred filled her eyes.
“Ada, I can’t stand this humiliation! If I can’t beat her, I’ll find another way to deal with her!”
“What way?”
She sneered. “I’ll meet with the production team this afternoon. When they see my swollen face, they’ll surely ask what
happened. Besides, filming for ‘A Thousand Years’ will officially resume next Friday. I’ll use it as an opportunity to make Silvia regret her actions today!”
