    “Mr. Winters, Mr. Sundend, Mr. Walker, do you have any questions?”


    Adina sat down and nced at the three people nonchntly. Trent stroked his chin. “I don’t


    understand many of the terms that you’ve mentioned, but because I don’t understand, you seem very


    professional. I don’t have any opinions.”


    “Ms. Daugherty, you really live up to your title as a smart chip designer.” Em sincerely gave her a big


    thumbs-up. “With your participation in Project A-F, I believe the designed cars will be avable as


    scheduled.” Duke nodded indifferently. “Let’s sign the contract.” Em took out the contract that he had


    brought along. There were some empty spaces for the profit sharing and signatures. Trent was the first


    to say, “The project’s profit is distributed evenly among the threepanies: Winters, Sundend, and


    Walker. Since Ms. Daugherty is joining us, we’ll give the remaining 10% to her.”


    Ten percent profit of such a huge project was actually considered very high. Just as Adina was about to


    nod, Duke suggested, “Each of us can have a share of 25%.” Trent looked at Duke as if he was joking.


    “Each of us has invested at least $100,000,000 into this project. She just designed the chip, and she


    can already share a quarter of the profit? This is so unfair.”


    “Without her, this project wouldn’t be implemented,” Duke calmly said. “Trent, you can choose to quit.”

    Trent was dumbfounded.


    He actually wanted to curse!


    So, that was how people valued love over friendship. He finally experienced it today. Em stroked his


    nose. “Duke’s right. Each of us can have a 25% share. Ms. Daugherty is investing her skills, so it’s a


    deal. Let’s sign.” He stuffed the pen into Trent’s hand by force. Trent kept grumbling as he signed.


    Adina smiled faintly, but she nced at Duke out of the corner of her eye.


    This man was unpredictable. The fact that he had taken the initiative toe over and discuss the


    coboration with her was already surprising. Now, he had even distributed a quarter of the profit to


    her, Did he care about her as a coborator so much? While Adina thought about it, they finished


    signing the contract.


    Trent was the unhappiest one at the negotiation table. On top of being beaten up today, a portion of his


    profit was also taken away.


    He leaned back on the couch, scoffed, and said, “Ms. Daugherty, you’re the biggest winner today.


    Shouldn’t you treat us to a meal?” “If I have the time in the future, I’ll definitely be the host and treat you


    to a meal. But it’s already 5.30 pm, and I have to pick my kids up from preschool.”


    Adina packed her stuff as she spoke. Trent was stunned. “Kids? Didn’t your kids die four years ago?”


    The news mentioned that she had given birth to a pair of dead twins four years ago and set fire to the


    Daugherty mansion out of anger. Then, she escaped punishment for the crime.


    Had the news been fake?


    As soon as he asked, he immediately noticed that something was off. Adina’s face turnedpletely


    cold.


    She looked up and replied in a distant manner. “Mr. Sundend, you’re my business partner, so I won’t


    avoid talking about my kids, but that doesn’t mean you can casually pry into my private life.”


    Her voice was as cold as the frost in winter.


    She did not look at Trent again after that. She turned back and walked out of the office. Trent sighed in


    relief. “That woman’s gaze was so scary. I almost freaked out.”
