Silvia frowned. “Why does he want to see me?”
“You’ll know when you meet him, Miss Pond.”
After a brier silence, she decided to follow Curtis.
“What do you want from me, Mr. Remus?”
Neil then handed her a black card.
“Use this if you don’t have enough money.
Silvia realized that he had misunderstood why she was carrying water earlier.
She bit her lip and refused to take the card.
“I don’t need it. I have enough money.”
“If you have enough money, why are you doing odd jobs?”
She could not be bothered to explain. “Mr. Remus, this is none of your business,” she said indifferently.
“Silvia, if you listen to my advice and go to college, you won’t have to do such hard labor in the future.”
Detecting the disdain in his tone, Silvia frowned.
“Even if it’s hard labor, it’s still my business. I don’t see it as something to be ashamed of.” “If you have a college degree, you’ll have more options!”
Silvia nodded. “I’m not saying that you’re wrong, but I should have the right to lead my life the way I want. I won’t change something just because you say so.”
With that, she walked away.
Neil’s gaze turned cold, and he fumed with rage as he watched her leave.
Silvia was surprised to see Isla when returned to her mansion.
“You don’t have any events today?”
“Yeah. I’m supposed to be on break, but my rest got disrupted because of this one event. I’ve talked to my agent, and we’re avoiding such events in the future.”
“You really need a good rest. You have dark circles under your eyes.”
“No kidding. I feel like I’ve been looking tired lately. By the way, where were you today?”
“I just went out to handle something.”
Isla nodded and did not press further. “Are you busy tonight?”
“Not really. Why?”
“Since you’re free, why don’t you join me and Mr. Cooper for dinner tonight? I want to thank him for his help last time.”

“Sure. I’ll go upstairs and rest for a bit then.” Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.
After Silvia headed upstairs, Isla immediately called David to ask him out for dinner.
Meanwhile, the design competition was still in full swing.
A total of over 1,300 contestants took part in the preliminary round, but only 600 would advance to the next round.
The successful contestants were finally revealed after 6 p.m.
Ada and Rita were among the qualified ones.
Ada was not surprised by the results. The scores in the first round were on a 100–point scale, and the gap between the contestants was minimal. She, along with several others, had scored. 92.6 points.
She got up and left the stage. As soon as she arrived at the lounge, she received a call from Mindy.
“Ada, you did amazing today! Your dad and I saw the results. He’s booked a private room at Heavenly Joy Restaurant to celebrate your advancement!”
“Great.”
After the call ended, Ada went to see Neil, but the staff informed her that he had left long ago. She was disappointed. In the past, whenever she painted in her studio, Neil would wait for her no matter how late it was. His attitude toward her had completely changed.
She felt even sadder as she reminisced about it.
After some hesitation, she decided to give him a call.
“Neil, I’ve made it to the next round. My parents have booked a private room at Heavenly Joy Restaurant to you like to join us for dinner?”

“Congratulations. I have something to do tonight, so I won’t be able to make it.”
