Forget it. They were business partners, so she had a lot of chances to make it up to the man in the future.Adina placed Melody in the back passenger seat before she drove to the police station and dismissed the case. Then, she went to the preschool to pick Alden up.“Mdm. Daugherty, I’m really sorry! We were too careless. I’ll surely keep my eyes on Melody next time. This will never happen again!”Ms. Jones apologized with a guilty expression.Adina knew that she could not blame the preschool completely. She held the kids’ hands and softly said, “Alden, Mel, you have to listen to the teacher, okay? No matter where you want to go, you have to tell Ms. Jones. You can’t sneak out alone again. Understand?”Alden nodded. “Don’t worry, Mom. I’ll take care of Mel.”Melody innocently widened her eyes before she nodded.Ava’s heart melted. “Melody is really adorable. Okay, wave at me. We’ll see each other tomorrow.”Melody obediently raised her arm and casually waved.She was autistic
Over in the Daugherty family, Dew had sprained her ankle, so she was working in the study in the afternoon.Adina had suddenly returned, so she had begun putting all her efforts into dealing with Adina some time ago. It made her neglect a lot of work as a result.Adina was coming for her aggressively. If she did not work hard, she would possibly be replaced by Adina.After dinner, Dew continued amending the documents.It was Daugherty Corporation’s tender proposal. The bidding party was an old business partner that Daugherty Corporation had been working with for more than a decade.This hardcopy was just a formality, and Daugherty Corporation would get the tender in the end. Dew had always managed such simple projects because they were easy wins.Once she succeeded, she would be the project’s biggest contributor.Dew leaned on her chair and checked the tender proposal for the last time. When she roughly read it, there was really no problem.However, she saw the document on he
When some sounds of coughing rang out, a few female staff members in the pantry were so shocked that they trembled.As they slowly turned back, they saw Adina standing behind them with the ghost of a smile. Clearly, she heard what they had just said.At that moment, they felt extremely fortunate for not talking smack about Adina.If Dew heard them discuss her like that behind her back, they would get fired.“Miss… Miss…” The female staff members stammered. They did not know how to address Adina.Aaron was Mr. Daugherty, and Dew was Ms. Daugherty, but how should they refer to Adina?“Why don’t you call me Ms. Daugherty?” Adina smiled faintly. “I’ll be the Sales Department’s manager later on.”After she said that, the female staff members looked at each other in confusion.They had also heard about the bet between Adina and the shareholders.Boyd Corporation was a multinational conglomerate. They always collaborated with foreign companies and never chose the local ones.Daugh
Dew had a headache due to all of Aaron’s nagging.The project did not fail because of her. Why did he let her take the blame for everything?“Isn’t it just a client? Winters Corporation is worth ten small clients like that,” she said impatiently.“The project with Winters Corporation only starts after three years. Don’t bring it up again!” Aaron paced back and forth with his hands behind his back. He frowned and said, “Oh yeah, how’s it going with Boyd Corporation? Today is the second day. Has Adina looked for the person in charge of Boyd Corporation?”Dew massaged her forehead. “When I came to the company this morning, I heard that Adina was here too. I don’t know why she was around.”Aaron tapped on the table and coldly said, “If she really can secure the contract with Boyd Corporation, I might give her another chance.”When Dew heard that, she was shocked.Give Adina another chance?What did he mean?Would he really let Adina work in Daugherty Corporation?If Adina joined
Her assistant became good-spirited. “Yes, Ms. Daugherty. I’ll get it done now.”……Adina took the accounts and went back to her studio.It was the accounts that Daugherty Corporation prepared for external parties, and it had been done flawlessly. Taking a brief glance, you would not spot any mistakes at all.She took a picture of the accounts and sent it to Flint. [Find the loopholes in the account in three hours.][Addy, I’m a Finance graduate. Isn’t it too much to ask me to look at the accounts again?][This isn’t an exam question. It’s Daugherty Corporation’s accounts. There will be a prize if you find the loopholes.] After Adina sent the text over, she did not pay attention to it anymore.She turned on her computer and started writing some code.The A-F project was actually not complicated. It just mainly consisted of several indirect points in the design. If she did not sort them out, she would fall into the mundane, and the product would overlap with current products on t
Adina held a small leather bag and walked into Daugherty Corporation. The people around her cast a strange glance at her.“Ms. Adina has just gotten a share of Daugherty Corporation, but she’s going to be kicked out of the Board of Directors now. What a poor lady.”“She’s not poor. She spoke arrogantly without thinking about the situation, so it’s just backfiring on her now.”“It looks like Ms. Dew is more suited to manage the company. Ms. Adina should just be somewhere else where she’s meant to be.”“Did you forget that Ms. Dew ruined the tender project yesterday?”Adina pretended as if she did not hear the murmurs.She walked into the elevator and headed to the meeting room on the top floor.She stood in front of the meeting room and glanced around. Great, everyone was there.The moment she took a step in with her high heels, Mr. Lawson sneered. “Adina, you didn’t secure the contract with Boyd Corporation, so you don’t have the qualification to attend the shareholders’ meetin
Everyone was also curious about why Boyd Corporation would choose to collaborate with the Jones family.Adina glanced at everyone in the meeting room with her beautiful eyes before she tapped open her phone and played a recording.“Mr. Arison, the internal situation in Daugherty Corporation is actually terrible. The superiors there love to frame big clients, and they like big companies like yours. If you sign the contract with Daugherty Corporation, it will bring an unestimated loss to Boyd Corporation.”When she played the recording, people in the meeting room were lost.However, as it continued to play and the recording reached the part about the defamatory behavior of Daugherty Corporation’s superiors, everyone in the room looked angry.“That’s absolute nonsense!” Mr. Lawson slammed the table and got up. “Adina, where did you get that recording from?” Adina seemed nonchalant. “You have to ask Dew.”Everyone looked at Dew at the same time.Dew bit her bottom lip in disbelief
Dew’s explanation seemed extremely hilarious now that there was Mr. Arison’s Instagram post.Mr. Arison was the CEO of Boyd Corporation’s Sea City branch, and he was also the person whom many businessmen in Sea City wanted to seek connections with.A person with such a status would not collude with Adina to make a fake Instagram post.Everyone in the meeting room looked at Dew with a more judgmental gaze.“Ms. Dew, does this mean that you really sent your assistant to lie to Mr. Arison about Daugherty Corporation’s reputation?”Dew clenched her fists tightly. She let out a long sigh and said, “I didn’t… My assistant did it on her own. It has nothing to do with me…” It was a weak explanation.Mr. Lawson and Mr. Porter, who were the biggest shareholders, revealed disappointment in their eyes.“Even if my assistant didn’t treat Mr. Arison to a meal, Boyd Corporation would still never collaborate with Daugherty Corporation.” Dew grasped at the last straw and said, “You can’t blame
