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
Mr. Porter added, “Adina holds a big portion of company shares, and she also just secured such a big project. She’s qualified to be the Sales Department’s manager. I have no objection.”“I don’t have other opinions either.”Most of the people in the meeting room agreed, and it was not possible for Dew to salvage the situation.Aaron was not happy about Adina’s arrogant demeanor, but ultimately, Adina had still helped turn the tables for the company.With the Boyd Corporation project, the company did not need to worry about its income in the next six months.He tapped the table indifferently and said, “Okay, we’ll let Addy be the Sales Department’s manager. The current manager of the department will be your assistant.”“Thank you, Dad.”Adina smiled obediently and sat down.When Dew saw that, she became so mad that she gnashed her teeth violently.She kept holding herself back, but anger continued to fill her heart.She finally could not take it any longer. She suppressed her
A dozen pairs of eyes were filled with anger as they stared at Dew.She did not expect this to happen today.She had purposely hired professionals to prepare the accounts for the Finance Department. How did she get discovered?It was Adina!When this b*tch just returned, she took half of her shares, and now, she was forcing her to step down from the position of general manager!She was the one who wanted to chase that b*tch out of the shareholders’ meeting today!Yet, why was she forced to resign from the general manager position in the end?Why did that b*tch keep going against her?Dew’s fingers were shaking.Her lips turned pale, and she was trembling. “Adina purposely faked the accounts to set me up. I didn’t do this.”“Dew, since you think that I purposely set you up, fine, let the police investigate it.” Adina faked a smile. “Do you dare to call the police?”Dew’s complexion lost all color, and she fell on her chair.Everyone understood the situation when they saw Dew
That brat already left Sea City. Why was he still haunting her?She pursed her lips. “Okay, I’ll accept it.”Mr. Arison flashed her a relieved smile. “Ms. Daugherty, Mr. Morton is a bit unfaithful, but he really cares about you. I think you can consider being his girlfriend.”“Hey, Mr. Arison, isn’t this just a project? I don’t have to give myself to that b*stard, Flint, do I?”Mr. Arison laughed. “I’m just giving you a suggestion. The decision is yours.”Adina rested her chin on her hand at a loss for words.She had introduced Mr. Arison to Flint, and as a result, the executives of Boyd Corporation acknowledged Mr. Arison. Since then, he had been successful in his career.It was also the reason why Mr. Arison was willing to collaborate with Daugherty Corporation.However, if she knew that Flint was waiting around with a bouquet of flowers, she would not have asked Mr. Arison for help.While Adina and Mr. Arison chatted happily, someone kept staring at her.George was sitting
When George saw Adina coming over, he casually got up and left.After he took two steps, his phone vibrated. He glanced at it, and the caller ID was [Mom].He pursed his lips like Duke before he picked up the call.Just as he pressed the answer button, sounds of sobbing came from the other end of the line. “George, I’m doomed. I’m totally doomed.”George frowned. “Mom, please speak slowly. I’m listening.”“Adina set me up. I’ve been forced to resign from the position of Daugherty Corporation’s general manager, and I’ll never be able to join the Board of Directors!” Dew cried and yelled. “I’m Daugherty Corporation’s heiress and the company’s second biggest shareholder. I don’t want to accept that. George, help me. You have to help me.” George frowned even more. “Why would this happen?”Why had a big shareholder of the company been forced to quit the Board of Directors for no reason?He slowly asked, “Mom, did you do anything to anger the Board of Directors?”“I… I…” Dew mental
She felt like she had seen a similar expression somewhere.She got rid of the strange thoughts from her mind before she squatted down and gently said, “Okay, go ahead and ask.”“Why are you dealing with the Daugherty family?”George spoke resolutely. Every word from him was as sharp as the edge of a knife.Adina was totally stunned.The child was her savior, so she was ecstatic when she met him.However, her happiness faded away at that moment. Only then did she notice that his gaze was full of coldness when he looked at her.It was not the gaze that a four-year-old kid should have.She pursed her lips and questioned him with a straight face. “How do you know about the Daugherty family?”“Dew Daugherty is my mother.”George’s voice was cold, and his tone was extremely distant. His gaze became much more hostile.He was very calm, but Adina felt like she had been struck by lightning.Flash!She was shocked.She moved her lips, and her voice was a little hoarse. “You’re Dew’
