Chapter 299
“I heard that Abalene actually held this banquet to find Liam a wife. Since he’s inherited tens of billions of dollars, he can pick anyone he wants in Ryoln City!” Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
“Well, I think it’s better to stand back and watch. After all, Madam Remus is still alive. Even if
g to inherit Harmony Yard, he’ll have to wait until she passes away to touch that ten-
he’s billion–dollar fortune.”
Ada listened to the people around her and smiled.
What Madam Remus did tonight could prove the tarot reader right. Those who got involved with Silvia would only be met with misfortune!
She saw how upset Melanie was earlier.
As she searched for Melanie in the banquet hall, she saw her walking in from the outside. She immediately approached her with a smile.
“Aunt Melanie, I can see that you’ve been pretty busy tonight. You haven’t eaten yet, have you? I got you some food. Please eat something.”
Melanie had been angry with Abalene. But when she saw Ada’s worried gaze, she sighed and took a piece of cake from her.
“Ada, you’re really thoughtful”
Ada smiled bashfully and softly said, “No one’s sitting on the couch over there. You can sit down and catch your breath, Aunt Melanie.”
“Okay.”
They walked to the couch and took a seat. After Melanie ate the cake, Ada sighed.
“Aunt Melanie, I don’t think Madam Remus should have given Harmony Yard to Mr. Liam Remus.”
Melanie paused and asked with a frown, “Why do you say so?”
She had the same opinion, but she did not want to reveal her true feelings to others. It did not matter that she preferred Ada as a daughter–in–law. After all, they were not family yet.
“Aunt Melanie, don’t you think that it makes no sense?”
Melanie did not speak, but she had stopped eating. Seeing this, Ada continued, “I actually didn’t believe the tarot reader who claimed that the Pond Family would fall apart because of Silvia. But if you look at these past years following her return, hasn’t Pond Corporation been going downhill?”
Melanie frowned and spoke in support of Silvia for once.
“That doesn’t have anything to do with her, right? The Pond Family just hasn’t been managing the company well.”
Ada shook her head and said, “Aunt Melanie, you don’t know about this, but every time my father makes an investment, he’s met with failure. Even if he’s bad at his job, he should still
be lucky enough to make money once or twice. Yet, that hasn’t happened at all.”
Melanie remained silent for a while before she looked at Ada and said, “Are you saying that Abalene has given Harmony Yard to Liam because Silvia is with Neil?”
Ada pursed her lips. “I can’t be sure, but I still hope that things will get better for him whether I end up with him or not.”
“Don’t tell anyone about this, Ada. I want to think about it.”
Ada held Melanie’s hand as she looked her in the eye and said, “Aunt Melanie, just let me know if you need my help.”
“Okay.”
Melanie put down the cake and left, but she seemed a little dispirited.
Ada’s eyes shone with ruthlessness. Melanie might not believe her just yet, but if she brought
more often, she could totally change Melanie’s mind!

In the meantime, Silvia found Neil in a corner where there were not many people.
Silvia saw him sitting alone with his head lowered. He appeared to be deep in thought, so she walked over and sat next to him.
“What’s on your mind, Mr. Remus?”
