Her father could get out uninjured, but she would not be so lucky.Once the truth was exposed, she and her mother would be in great trouble.Dew took a deep breath. “Dad, the shareholder meeting is starting. Let’s attend the meeting first.”Most of Daugherty Corporation’s shares were held by the Daugherty family members. Aaron had 35%, Dew and Adina had 25% respectively, and the rest held a small portion.Dew had initially been the biggest shareholder. After her shares were divided, she ranked second with Adina. To increase her power, Aaron transferred 1% to her. So, Adina became the third biggest shareholder with just 1% less than Dew.Aaron sat in the main seat, while Dew and Adina sat on either side of him.The big shareholders in the room had naturally heard about the change in the Daugherty family’s shares. Many of them were senior employees who had worked hard with Aaron in the past, so they knew the Daugherty family well. Before the meeting started, Dew had even talked to
The shareholders sitting in the meeting room were experienced businessmen. When they thought about it, they understood Winters Corporation's intentionIf there was no connection between Winters Corporation and Daugherty Corporation, they would be lending their hand when Daugherty Corporation was in trouble.If Winters Corporation was close with Daugherty Corporation, they would just be giving them an arbitrary project.Mr. Porter said, “No matter what, this project will only be advantageous to Daugherty Corporation. Since it will only start in three years, we’ll talk about this project three years later. Now, Ms. Dew Daugherty, please talk about the big projects that are currently progressing in Daugherty Corporation so that we can have a brief idea.”Dew flipped through her documents and slowly reported, “There are three main projects in Daugherty Corporation. Two of them are going to be completed soon, and another one is in process. Besides, the company is also in talks for other
She was beautiful and arrogant. Her every move and smile appeared confident and casual.Besides, she really understood the customers, so the seated shareholders subconsciously listened to her.Mr. Lawson's expression improved, and he said, “What else do you know? Carry on.”“Actually, I think Daugherty Corporation should target Boyd Corporation instead of the Williams and Jones family.” Adina looked up with a twinkle in her eyes. “Boyd Corporation is going to build a city of heavy machinery in Sea City. I guess all of you can estimate how many products Daugherty Corporation can produce without me explaining it.”Dew suddenly chuckled. “Adina, since you know Boyd Corporation, it means you’ve really been following Daugherty Corporation these past four years. But, how can you not know that Boyd Corporation doesn’t work with any local company?”Mr. Lawson criticized Adina. “I thought you’d have a good idea. It looks like you’re only good at empty words.”Mr. Porter also scoffed. “Eve
It was difficult to secure the project with Boyd Corporation, but it was not entirely impossible.If Adina resorted to dirty tricks like sleeping with an executive, maybe the executives would lower their requirements and sign the contract.The project was incredibly important, but Dew would rather not cooperate with Boyd Corporation than allow Adina to work in Daugherty Corporation… Adina was like a wild wolf that was waiting for the right moment. If Adina entered the company, the Daugherty family would no longer know peace. “Adina, Boyd Corporation is well-known for being hard to deal with. I think you shouldn’t waste your time,” Dew said. “If you really want to do something for Daugherty Corporation, you can try to approach Mr. Williams…” Adina raised her eyebrows and smiled. “Not even ten Williams families and Jones families can compare to a project from Boyd Corporation. I’ll convince the staff of Boyd Corporation to sign the contract in three days.”Her tone was filled wi
Adina was calm. “Go on.”“I’ll give you another $100,000,000, so it will be a total of $1,100,000,000. After you get the money, get as far away from Sea City as possible and never ever come back.”Dew's heart bled as she said that.She did not have that much money in her account, so she had to go and get a loan from the bank in order to collect the $1,100,000,000.But what other solution did she have?George had sent some people to watch her closely, so it was impossible for her to find someone to assassinate Adina again.Besides, if she killed Adina and people found out, she would never be able to marry into the Winters family.If she could make Adina go away by spending some money, she would try her best to produce the cash.If she lost the money, she could earn it back again. But if she was exposed, there would be no way to turn the situation around… Adina stared at Dew’s dynamic and interesting expressions before she chuckled. “Dew, you’re not someone who operates at a l
“Dew, you still have no idea, do you? I’ve opened a studio, and I’m ready to collaborate with Winters Corporation at this point.”Adina’s beautiful face was filled with a bright and prideful smile.She raised her fingers and tucked her fallen hair behind her ear. “My collaboration with Winters Corporation isn't related to Daugherty Corporation. How are you going to stop me?”Dew immediately widened her eyes. “No way! Winters Corporation wouldn't collaborate with you! What did you do, huh? I’m warning you not to approach the Winters family. I won’t allow you to go near Duke Winters!”Adina narrowed her eyes nonchalantly.Dew was easily triggered. What was she afraid of this time?Was it related to Winters Corporation?Was Dew afraid that she would snatch Duke away?Pfft! Hilarious!Adina was too lazy to engage with Dew further, so she just turned around and left.Dew’s heart seemed to be ripped into pieces amidst Adina’s snickers.Her mind was blank, and she declared her owne
As for the staff who were working in Winters Corporation, even the receptionist would think of herself as someone of higher status, so she would never pay attention to gossip on the Internet. Therefore, the receptionist did not recognize Adina. She just merely thought that the woman was good looking, and she could be the most beautiful woman she had ever met. “Ahem.” Adina covered her lips and gently cleared her throat. Only then did the receptionist suddenly snap out of her daze. “Oh, sorry. Do you want to go to the CEO’s office?” Adina nodded. “Do you have an appointment?” the receptionist continued to ask. “No.” Adina shook her head indifferently. “I have a verbal appointment with Mr. Winters.”When the receptionist heard that, her impressed gaze was filled with some contempt. Countless people came to the company to look for Mr. Winters, and among them were beautiful, alluring, and sexy women… Although this woman looked much better than those who had visited pre
Adina looked up. When she saw the man who had suddenly appeared in front of her, she casually said, “Oh, it’s you, Mr. Sunderland. I was wondering who was blocking me at the entrance.”The corner of Trent’s lips twitched.Why was this woman so sharp-tongued?He had not done anything, yet she had just criticized him.Could he still keep his dignity?“If there’s nothing else, I’ll take my leave.”Adina started walking.Trent subconsciously grabbed her arm. He had yet to clarify things.But before he could speak, he felt dizzy.At the next second, he was thrown to the floor.Previously, the ground in Riverview Pavillion had been covered in grass, so he did not feel pain when he hit the ground. This time, however, the floor was marble-tiled. He felt as if his bones were about to break apart.When Eilam saw what happened, he gasped.Ms. Daugherty was truly not an easy person to deal with.He immediately went over and helped his buddy up.“Adina, are you mad?” Trent was so an
