Chapter 878


    Chapter 878 “Wait a minute, Addy. I‘ll drive you after I finish washing the dishes.” Duke wore an apron.


    He put the empty dishes into the sink and washed them. Adina sat at the dining table and held her chin


    in her hands. She looked at the man in admiration.


    His fingers were slender, and his back was broad and sturdy. He was tall. She wanted to spend a


    romantic night with him.


    After moving in, they had barely spent any passionate moment together. They slept in separate rooms.


    They didn‘t even dare to kiss. At most, they hugged.


    They were afraid. Especially Adina. They were afraid of triggering the orders from the biochip like it had


    happened before.


    Duke turned around and met her gaze. He smirked. “Don‘t look at me like that. If I didn‘t know better, I


    would think you were insinuating something else.”


    Adina blushed and quickly looked away.


    Duke was already trying very hard to control himself. If she looked at him like that every time, he might


    just lose it and give in to his desires.


    Duke drove the car, and Adina sat in the front passenger seat. They went to the Jones family‘s


    mansion together.


    “Duke, you have stayed by me these past few days, so you probably didn‘t have time to take care of


    thepany‘s affairs. You should go to Winters Corporation and take care of your work. You cane


    to pick me in an hour.” Adina smiled and got out of the car. Duke was nning to apany her.


    However, he knew she would not agree to it, especially since she needed to handle this herself.

    “Okay, I‘lle in an hour then.”


    Adina went into the Jones family‘s mansion. Duke did not leave yet. He parked the car on the side of


    the road not far from the mansion, took out his notebook, and started to work on thepany‘s affairs.


    In the Jones family‘s mansion, Mr. Jones sat at his desk, appearing cold and stormy.


    Zhenny crossed her legs and smirked. “She will do anything to win. Well, I can‘t me her. She has


    been living on her own since she was young, so no one taught her what is right and what is wrong.


    Fortunately, only the members of the Jones family know about it, for no, at least. Otherwise, we would


    all be theughingstock of the world.” “Aunt Zhenny, it‘s not even clear who is behind this. Aren‘t you


    too biased saying something like that?” Daniel said calmly, “It‘s better not to make an assumption if


    there is no evidence.”


    Zhenny sneered. “Dad, look at Daniel. He was such a good kid, but he has now be this. Adina is


    an illegitimate child of the family. No matter how hard she tries, it can’t change the fact that she is


    illegitimate. It can‘t change the way her… kind behaves. She is an embarrassment! If Daniel continues


    to follow Adina, I wonder what he will be like in the future.”


    “Zhenny Jones, be careful of your words!” Dillon shouted, “You have no right to malign my son and my


    daughter.”


    Jasmine said indignantly, “My mom is Daniel‘s aunt, so why can‘t she intervene? Uncle Dillon, you trust


    Adina too much, that‘s why–”


    “Enough!” Mr. Jones said coldly, interrupting the dispute between the two.


    His cloudy eyes looked at the people in front of him. “Everything will be clear when Addy arrives.”


    “Haha,” Jasmine muttered. “How will she admit that she stole thepany‘s money?”


    “It‘s certainly lively here. What‘re you guys talking about?” Adina walked in calmly with a faint smile on


    her lips.


    Her smile was like an ice flower blooming in winter. It was cold yet beautiful, and people could not take


    their eyes off it.


    Jasmine was jealous.
