“Whether Jasmine is bluffing or not, we know how Dillon feels,” Zhenny said softly, “Dillon has been alone for so many years. He really should find someone to marry. But isn’t Adina too young for you? She’s also a married woman. To marry such a woman into the family would only ruin the Jones family’s reputation. It’s best that you don’t do anything foolish, brother.”Mr. Jones indignantly said, “If you continue having anything to do with that woman, you’re disowned!”Dillon flew into a rage.He raised his head. His eyes swept over his niece, whom he had always cherished, then traveled his gaze over his sister of 20-30 years. Finally, he looked at his father.He opened his mouth and slowly said, “Addy is my daughter, my biological daughter.”“What?!”The other four people in the conference room were stunned.The first to react was Zhenny. Incredulously, she said, “That year when you broke up with Olivia... You had a daughter?!”Dillon pursed his lips and said, “I don’t want to t
Dillon stood in the office. His gaze was locked on Zhenny and Jasmine. For so many years, he always made compromises and never competed against others for anything, as it would make people think that he was a weakling.At that moment, however, he could not continue to be a weak man because he owed Addy too much. He had to repay her somehow, little by little.“Then, Zhenny, let me ask you: what kind of compensation contract is this?”Dillon flung the contract at Zhenny. Zhenny boiled with rage.She was sure that Adina would be so deep in trouble that she would not have the time to handle commercial disputes, and that was why she had conspired with Mr. Krisman. Moreover, the Winters family valued their reputation, so she was sure Adina would not make a huge fuss.She never expected that b*tch to come to Jones Corporation looking for a fight. She had even called for a press conference!She could use this compensation contract to scam people behind closed doors with absolutely
The reporters there did not leave, but rushed forward in a flurry.Adina procured a contract and said indifferently, “As you all know, LaStar Technology Corporation became business partners with Elitos not too long ago. During this time...”She coolly stated the facts about Jones Corporation being the third business partner, then pointed at the contract and slowly said, “Elitos and Jones Corporation have both claimed that my company’s chip has design flaws, and have proposed that I pay $500,000,000 as compensation. This document even has their official stamp. But I refuse to acknowledge this. I will have a third party run tests, and I invite all reporters and netizens to supervise accordingly.”“If the results align with what this document states, I will pay the $500,000,000 in its entirety. But if these claims turn out to be untrue, I expect a public apology from Jones Corporation and Elitos, as well as compensation for LaStar Technology Corporation for reputation damages, psycholo
Moments after the announcement of the business dispute, Adina took a step to leave.The reporters were not letting her get away that easily and swarmed her.“Mdm. Winters, have you divorced Mr. Winters yet? Please give us a definite answer.”“Mdm. Winters, the clinic of the third party, Catherine, was destroyed. Were you responsible for this?”“Mdm. Winters...”A dozen reporters blocked the road. Adina could not avoid them.Her expression turned cold, and she was about to speak when Dillon forced his way through the crowd and in front of her.“Ms. Daugherty, come this way.”Dillon snatched up her wrist and took her down a lane to get away.Adina pursed her lips but did not struggle.The two of them took a side entrance into the office building, isolating themselves from the reporters outside.“Thank you, Mr. Jones.”Adina put on her sunglasses, giving the appearance of someone who wanted no one to bother her.Dillon suddenly felt at a loss.He wanted to say something, but
He looked at Adina’s face against the light.Her face looked really similar to Olivia, especially her eyes and nose. She could almost pass off as Olivia’s doppelganger. Her lips resembled several members of the Jones family.She had the combination of all the best features of the parents’ faces, making her features and face look more outstanding than Olivia’s.No wonder his daughter was called the most beautiful woman in Sea City.“Addy, you truly look a lot like your mother when she was your age, prior to her marriage.” Dillon’s voice was full of gentleness. “But your mother was gentle and reserved. She was too good-tempered, and she obeyed the rules very much. She was not willing to make any mistakes.”As he spoke, he gradually became lost in his memories. Adina pursed her lips. “Mr. Jones, just get straight to the point.”Dillon snapped out of his reminiscing. He stared at Adina and said solemnly, “Addy, you’re actually Olivia and my daughter. I’m actually your father.”H
Adina carried Melody while walking speedily into the mansion before she closed the door with a loud bang.Earl got up from the swing. He stuck his tongue to his upper palate in a playful manner, sneering.He had already lowered himself by taking the initiative to come over, yet this woman dared to pull a face at him.Adina carried Melody into the house, and she coldly looked at Flint, who sat in the living room and played games. “Why did you let that man in?”Flint innocently scratched his hair. “Your daughter wanted to see her dad, and her dad wanted to see his own daughter. I’m just an outsider. How could I stop them?”After he spoke, he stood on his toes, took a look out the window, and said in a lower voice, “But Addy, he did not seem that bad today. He must be here to apologize to you. Don’t fall for it and be so quick to forgive him. You must remember everything that he has done wrong. Whenever a man has had an affair, they will do it again. Don’t be fooled by his good attit
Earl nodded stiffly.Only then did Adina smile. “I’ll go inside and let the kids know.”Her smile was like the neon lights in the night skyline shining like bedazzling jewels, which made Earl’s eyes daze over.By the time he returned to his senses, Adina was already coming out of the house. She held a small leather purse and indifferently said, “Let’s go to the airport.”She pulled open the door of the black car and sat in the passenger seat in front.Earl collected himself before he stepped on the pedal and drove away.When Melody saw the car speeding away from the mansion’s entrance, her face darkened. “Mommy promised to make good food for us, but she did not keep her promise.”“I thought you were unhappy because Daddy left.” Harold teased. “It looks like Daddy is not as important as good food for you, Mel.”“Mommy’s food is always delicious, but Daddy is not very stable.” The little girl rested her chin on her hand and sighed. “Sometimes I really like Daddy, but sometimes I’
The airport was crowded.Adina followed Earl into the VIP waiting lounge.As soon as the man stepped into the room, Catherine’s anxious voice was heard in the room. “Earl, are you really sending me away? Tell me this is not true! Earl, I love you so much. I don’t want to leave. I don’t want to leave you, even if I die. Please give me another chance…” Catherine rushed over and grabbed Earl’s arm. When she was about to continue begging him, she saw Adina walking in after him.Adina wore a black trench coat, and her imposing manner was ruthless.She coldly said, “Miss Catherine, please release my husband.”Catherine’s hand shook, and her face was full of sadness and anger. “He is not your husband. He is Earl Winters. He is…” “Shut up!”Earl looked disgusted as he coldly scolded her.Catherine’s tears instantly streamed down her face.Adina indifferently tucked her hair. “Duke, leave the room for a bit. I want to talk to Miss Catherine alone for a while.”Earl disagreed as he
