Chapter 923


    Chapter 923 It looked like Mr. Jones was telling Adina off on the surface, but he was, in fact, not giving


    Zhenny a chance to refute. When the children saw this, they did not feel surprised.


    Over the past few days, they had been cautious the entire time. They dared not make their mommy


    angry because she would be terrifying once she was ticked off.


    This belongs ? N?velDra/ma.Org.


    However, Aunt Zhenny and Aunt Jasmine had insisted on offending their mommy today. Their mommy


    had actually been holding back when she said those things.


    After the people at the dining table became quiet, an indifferent Duke finally said, “I don‘t need to


    exin anything between me and Addy to anyone, but since you‘ve asked, Aunt Zhenny, I‘ll have to


    exin slightly. Addy and I are very much in love, and we‘re in a close rtionship. Nobody ever gets


    in between us. We won‘t get a divorce, and we will never get a divorce. Grandpa, Father, please rest


    assured.”


    Dillon had witnessed how possessive Duke could get, so even if he died, he would never believe that


    Duke would abandon his family. Dillon raised his wine ss, chuckled, and said, “Let‘s not talk about


    such unhappy things. Come, Duke. Cheers.”


    The reunion dinner could only continue after Dillon lightened the atmosphere. Even so, Zhenny and


    Jasmine‘s expressions were extremely dark. They just held their forks, not taking a bite for a long time.


    Harold turned around, smiled, and said, “Aunt Jasmine, you‘re two years younger than my mommy, but


    you look a lot older than her. The books always say that women who love to get angry age faster. It‘s


    true!”


    Jasmine became furious.


    She was merely twenty–two. She was not old! This little b*stard did not know how to speak politely!


    Her expression changed, and she wanted to teach Harold a lesson.


    Adina cast a cold nce over and spoke with a straight face, “Eat when you‘re supposed to be eating.


    Don‘t talk to irrelevant people.” “Yes, Mommy!” Harold turned around and continued eating. Jasmine


    was absolutely livid at this point. It was the Jones family‘s mansion. She had grown up there ever since


    she was little, why had she be an irrelevant person? Tomorrow, they would announce the results


    of the candidates‘ appraisal, and she would be the next heir of Jones Corporation under the


    spotlight. Once she obtained great power, she would kick that b*tch, Adina, out of Jones Corporation.


    Adina did not even care about Jasmine‘s gaze, which was filled with jealousy and hatred.


    Dillon, as well as Duke, chatted about the economic situation in Sea City, and Mr. Jones would


    asionally join in on the conversation. Meanwhile, Daniel was studying seriously. Adina took a sip of


    champagne before she got up and walked to the restroom. Her lips felt a little dry. so she wanted to


    apply some lip balm. –..


    The moment she got up, Jasmine followed suit.


    Her grandpa had suppressed her at the dining table, and Duke, the fierce man, was also there. She


    had been forced to extremely hold back. Adina applied the lip balm in the mirror before she applied a


    layer of lipstick. The cinnabar color made her skin look as fair as snow.


    Right after she put the lipstick cap back on, she saw another person in the mirror.


    She did not turn back. “Are you also here to touch up, Jas?” she asked indifferently.


    Jasmine wrapped her arms around her chest and sneered. “Adina Daugherty, this is my house. What


    are you being so arrogant about?”


    “Your house?” Adina kept her lipstick and turned around. “This is the Jones family‘s mansion. Is your


    family name Jones?”
