The wedding date was drawing closer.For the past few days, Adina and Duke had been busy with the wedding preparation, and her company called her on the day before the wedding.“Miss Daugherty, today we have to report the results of the project with Elitos. Are you attending in person?”Serene initially did not want to make the call. After all, everyone in the city knew that Miss Daugherty was getting married.But there were too many hidden variables concerning the project. She was afraid that something would happen if she went to report by herself.The company was finally developed to this scale today. They could not be stepped on somehow.Adina nodded and said, “I’m ready to go now. Let’s meet outside Elitos.”She had arranged the time for today.Since Elitos and the Jones family wanted to look for her in trouble, she would go and solve them one by one.“Do you want me to go with you?” Duke wrapped around her waist and softly asked.Adina smiled. “It’s just a small matter.
As soon as she pushed the door open and got out, Serene went toward her. She exclaimed with an exaggerated gawk on her face. “Wow, Miss Daugherty! It’s only been a few days, but you seem to have become prettier! Women who are in love really start glowing. We will definitely succeed in the reporting of results today!”Adina was speechless.Did her personal life have anything to do with her work?“Wow, isn’t this Miss Daugherty who is getting married?”A scornful voice was heard from the back.When Adina turned around, she saw Jasmine pushing the car door open and getting out. Something was flashing in her eyes.Jasmine walked over, wrapped her arms around her chest, and said, “Miss Daugherty, it looks like Duke is not sincere to you. Otherwise, why would he let you come out and work your fingers to the bones right before your wedding?”Adina’s gaze was indifferent. She smiled faintly. “Speaking of the wedding, I suddenly recall that it seems like I didn’t give you the invitation
Adina’s gaze was indifferent, and her expression was aloof. She did not look angry after her proposal was stolen.When Jasmine saw Adina looking like this, she suddenly felt a little flustered.Did Adina the bi*ch still have another plan that was more perfect?She calmed herself down before she said, “It’s not the time for questions now. Please present your work now.”“What are you afraid of, Miss Yackley?” Adina smiled in a relaxed manner. “Are you afraid of getting exposed because you can’t answer my questions?”“What… what nonsense are you talking about?” Jasmine’s face turned pale. “Ask anything you want. I’m not afraid of anything.”Adina tapped her finger knuckle before she indifferently asked, “How many modules are there in this chip solution design?”Jasmine was completely stunned.She had only memorized the script. She knew nothing other than the presentation.“About one thousand,” her assistant reminded her in a low voice from the side.Jasmine scoffed. “There are a
She did not expect that things would progress to this point.“This is what people mean when they say, like mother, like daughter.” Adina indifferently smiled. “I can forgive Mdm. Jones, so I naturally can also forgive you. After all, you’re still very young.”As soon as she said that, the people’s gazes at Jasmine were filled with contempt.Previously, Zhenny aggressively attended the celebration party of Elitos and defamed Adina for plagiarism, but she was actually the person who plagiarized.Everyone in this room had witnessed that incident personally.But now, they witnessed a similar incident again.“You… don’t talk nonsense!” Jasmine gritted her teeth and said, “I’m not a programmer. Of course, I can’t explain this. If I let our Chief Technical Officer present the result, his performance will not be worse than yours.”When Adina saw that Jasmine still tried to quibble, she laughed due to anger.Adina sneered and said, “It looks like I have to let the police get involved an
After Adina spoke, she left the meeting room with Serene.Once the others left the meeting room, Jasmine could no longer hold her anger back. She raised her hand and threw the documents to the floor.“Jasmine, you better not go against Ms. Daugherty.” Mr. Krisman lit up a cigarette and said, “Not only is she capable, but you also know that she’s marrying into the Winters family tomorrow. She’ll be Mrs. Winters, so if possible, build a good relationship with her. That’s better and more advantageous to you in my opinion.”Jasmine gritted her teeth furiously. “Uncle Benny, you promised my mom that you would kick Adina out. But in the end, I had to lower my status and apologize to her in front of so many people. I was totally embarrassed! I don’t care. Uncle Benny, you have to come up with a way to remove Adina from this project.”Mr. Krisman breathed out some smoke. “She’s all the rage now. This is not the time to kick her out. Just wait.”Jasmine was livid.Wait? How long did she s
Mrs. Winters’ complexion turned pale.She knew that this would be the outcome, but she was not willing to give up. She insisted on asking him.Her two sons, who only lived together in harmony for a few brief months as infants, had been enemies ever since they first met in their teens.Both of them were her sons. She did not know whose side to choose.Perhaps a mother would instinctively be more protective of the more inferior child, and Earl happened to be the vulnerable one.Mrs. Winters covered her chest and softly said, “Okay, I’ll ask him not to come.”After she said that, she walked away and slowly went upstairs.Duke’s eyes were filled with coldness as he looked at his mother’s back.He had been searching for Earl’s whereabouts lately, but Earl always managed to get away.Since Earl was able to contact their mother now, he could use the phone signal to track Earl.Meanwhile, Adina drove to the Xavier family’s mansion.The Xavier family’s mansion had put up new and fest
Mdm. Xavier frowned. “Did the Jones family receive a wedding invitation?”Dillon felt slightly awkward. “No.”He purposely came to deliver the gift one day in advance because he did not receive the wedding invitation card.He did not see Adina after he went to the Winters family’s mansion, so he went to the Xavier family’s mansion instead.“This is a wedding gift that I prepared for Ms. Daugherty.” Dillon took out a small box from his shirt pocket before he lifted the lid. “This emerald green jadeite necklace really compliments you, Ms. Daugherty. I hope you’ll accept it.”Adina looked at the necklace.It was the item that Dillon had wanted to give to her at the wedding gown shop the other day. It was a piece of jewelry that her mother used to wear.“Oh, why does this necklace look a little familiar?” Mdm. Xavier frowned before she immediately chuckled. “I’m old, and I’ve seen too many things, so I find everything familiar. Mr. Jones, please don’t mind me.”Dillon smiled and sp
Adina lay on the bed. She kept tossing and turning, but she could not fall asleep.While she had insomnia, the phone under her pillow vibrated. She took a peek and found that it was a video call from Duke.She immediately answered the call.“Dear, are you still awake?”A sweet feeling filled Adina’s heart. “I can’t sleep. What about you?”“I can’t sleep either.” Duke leaned to the side in bed, and his gaze was affectionate. “I don’t know who came up with such a rule to separate us.”Adina chuckled and said, “We’re just not together for one day. Can you be more mature?”“Why should I be mature in front of my wife?” Duke stared at the phone screen and said, “Rest well tonight. I’ll pick you up early in the morning.”“Don’t even think about it. My grandma mentioned that the time to pick the bride up has been fixed. It’s apparently at 10.08 am.”Duke appeared gloomy. “I can only see you in another eleven hours.”Adina smiled faintly again.The two of them kept chatting until Adi
