Chapter 840


    Chapter 840 “Grandma isn‘t in a good mood. Spend more time with her after you finish school, okay?”


    Adina stroked her children‘s heads before heading to the kitchen to prepare dinner.


    Alden nodded. “Does it have anything to do with Earl?”


    Alden and George were aware of the story so Adina did not hide it from them.


    She heaved a sigh and said, “Grandma will see the light as time goes by. Don‘t worry too much about


    her.” After that, Adina poured oil into the frying pan and prepared dinner skillfully.


    The kitchen helper had prepared all of the ingredients for her in the morning. All Adina had to do was


    cook. She finished preparing seven dishes within half an hour. After they had dinner, the children read


    books and did their homework. Meanwhile , Adina and Duke worked in their study.


    Adina was in the middle of studying some information regarding Jones Corporation. She was one of the


    candidates for the session contest, so she had to gain a better understanding of herself and her


    competitor to prevail.


    Duke passed her some documents. “These are Jones Corporation‘s financial reports for the past few


    years and its major projects in the past six months. Take your time to read them.


    The corners of Adina‘s lips curled upward. “Honey, that‘s very kind of you. How did you know I needed


    this information?”


    Duke smiled. “How do you n to return my kindness, then?”


    Right after he spoke, Adina snorted. “Can you stop having dirty thoughts? Don‘t you feel tired from


    having sex several times a day?”


    “No, I don‘t.” Duke pestered her. “You can continue reading the information tomorrow. Let‘s rest early


    tonight.”


    His body temperature rose, but Adina avoided him.“ They‘ll have a shareholder meeting the day after


    tomorrow. It‘ll be toote to read all this tomorrow. Honey, don‘t do this… Duke, if you refuse to listen to


    me, I‘ll ignore you!”


    The moment she raised her voice, Duke immediately kept himself in check. He obediently went to the


    side and worked on his documents.


    Adina leaned on his back and crossed her legs while she flipped through the Jones Corporation


    information…


    The days passed peacefully without any disturbance. Soon, it was the day of Jones Corporation‘s


    shareholder meeting.


    The major shareholders and top management of Jones Corporation were in attendance. As such, the


    meeting room was crowded.


    Dillon personally brought Adina into the meeting room, and the crowd swept their gazes across her in


    unison.


    Adina was used to facing big asions. She entered the meeting room calmly and bowed to the


    crowd. Then, she calmly said, “Hi, everyone. I‘m Adina Daugherty. I‘m also a member of the Jones


    family. Nice to meet all of you.”


    The crowd inside the meeting room respected Dillon, so they apuded wildly for her.


    “Please be seated,” Mr. Jones said coolly as he took his ce in the main seat.


    Many of the attendees had attended the reunion banquet. They were aware of the purpose of the


    meeting. Hence, they fell silent and listened to what Mr. Jones had to say next.


    “We‘ve set the rules. Only direct descendants from our family‘s bloodline are qualified topete in the


    session. The most capable and talented person will be the person in charge of Jones


    Corporation,” Mr. Jones said calmly. “Addy is part of our family, so she has


    the right to participate. There‘s no doubt about that. Do you have anything to voice out?”


    Mr. Jones had personally confirmed that Adina was a member of the Jones family, thus she was


    qualified to take part in the session contest. As such, no one had the courage to go against him. If


    they did, it would be tantamount to challenging Mr. Jones‘ power in public. For a moment, the crowd


    remained silent.


    Jasmine looked down and smirked to herself.


    “If no one has any qualms about it, Addy and Jas will officially beginpeting for Jones Corporation,”


    Mr. Jones said calmly. “The flow of the contest is the same as before. Whoever has the highest rating


    within a month will inherit Jones Corporation.”


    The performance rating table wasplicated. They measured the nominees‘ performance in terms of


    their project profitability, projectpletion, employee ratings, senior scoring, and so on. The overall


    score would be aplex factor.
