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’
After he parted ways with Adina, George went to the hospital.Dew was bedridden, and she looked extremely dispirited.Only after she saw George walking in that her expression improved slightly. “George, I know you’re a good boy. I’m really happy to see you visiting me in the hospital. The luckiest thing that has happened to me in my life is giving birth to a mature and obedient son like you.”She held George’s hand and kept caressing it.George felt uncomfortable. He calmly moved out of her grip and indifferently said, “Mom, please don’t think about the company. Just rest well.”“How can she not think about it?” Ruby said coldly as she sat by the bed. “George, your mother has been kicked out of the Board of Directors, and Adina has successfully joined the company. In a few days, Daugherty Corporation will become Adina’s property. Once that happens, it will be meaningless no matter what we do! It wasn’t easy for her to give birth to you after a ten-month pregnancy. She has been ter
Dew opened her eyes wide and nodded. “George, I love your father as well as you and Harold. I want to become a part of the family with you. But your father never wants to look at me. I’m really afraid that he’ll marry another woman and give you a stepmother. I’m scared that your stepmother will abuse you and treat you unfairly. I’m also afraid that your stepmother will treat you so nicely that both of you will forget me as your biological mother.” Those were Dew’s real thoughts.She spoke while she cried, and her expression was that of sorrow.“Dad has wasted five years of your time, and it’s really his fault. I’ll talk about this with Dad today.” George stood up and slowly said, “Mom, please rest well and wait for the news.”After he spoke, he walked out of the ward.Dew looked incredibly surprised. She grabbed Ruby’s hand and excitedly said, “Mom, did you hear him? George wants to talk to Duke for me. He’s really smart, so he must have a way to convince Duke to marry me.”“Duk
Duke walked into the villa, and Mr. Brown immediately went forward to take his briefcase.“Sir, Young Master Harold is in class, and Young Master George just came back.”Duke nodded. He put on some slippers, went upstairs, and entered the study.While he had just returned from the company, he still had to handle many things.As soon as he pushed open the door to the study, he saw George sitting on the couch. He was clearly waiting for him.“Dad, are you free to talk?” George raised his head and asked indifferently.Duke nodded. “What do you want to talk about?”This son looked like him the most. He was just four years old, but he was already growing to be an excellent heir.He kept putting up with Dew mostly because Dew had given him such an excellent heir.“I want to talk about Mom.”As soon as George said that, Duke’s expression became cold.He loosened his tie impatiently. “Why do you want to talk about her?”He did not want to hear anything about that woman.“Dad, I kn
