The employee froze for a while, then continued, “But Ms. Daugherty, this project has to make its first progress report in three days.”“We have already completed eighty percent of the work. Let the Joneses take care of the remaining twenty percent.” Adina pushed the contract away and said lightly, “Serene, you liaise with the technical department of Jones Corporation. Today’s meeting may now be adjourned. I will personally be there on the day of the report.”Adina coldly curled up the corners of her lips.Since Mr. Benny of Elitos Corporation and Zhenny had joined hands to set her up, she had no choice but to let Elitos Corporation bear a substantial loss.Elitos Corporation was a big company that could afford to sustain certain losses.Adina returned to her office to continue arranging the follow-up work. When she had only just been busy for a half hour, Serene came in while holding a phone with a quandary look on her face. “Ms. Daugherty, Ms. Yackley from Jones Corporation speci

“Hey, Ms. Daugherty, why’s Mr. Winters here, too?” Serene said as she took Adina’s arm and pointed at the bar counter.Adina looked toward where Serene was pointing and a man sitting at the counter. Although it was just his side profile, the silhouette alone confirmed that it was Duke.‘Didn’t he go searching for Earley? Why is he here?’Adina was about to get up when she realized that Duke was facing an equally familiar figure.It was a woman with blonde chestnut hair and a deep-set face. A foreigner...‘Wasn’t this woman the one who visited Duke at the hospital the other day? I think her name was Catherine, and she’s a therapist. What are they doing here?’Adina’s doubts disappeared in a flash. She stood up and walked towards them.“Ms. Daugherty, call Mr. Winters over for a drink with us,” Serene said with a wink.Although everyone was fearful of Duke’s aura, they were more curious about what he would look like with Adina by his side, even if it meant having to witness publi

He did not want Earl to destroy his happiness again.Duke’s anxiety was only growing stronger, and he could not calm himself down.When the two of them drove back to the Winters family’s mansion, his expression was still cold.Adina beckoned to Melody. The little girl understood her mother’s gaze, so she climbed onto Duke’s lap and softly said, “Daddy, are you not happy today?”The cold expression rapidly melted away.He lifted the girl and put her on his shoulder before he softly said, “I was just thinking about work just now. I’m not unhappy.”Melody grinned and said, “Daddy, I want you to lift me up!”Duke lifted the girl high and threw her into the air before he caught her with both arms. Then, Melody’s giggles could be heard in the living room.“Daddy! Daddy! I also want to play!”Harold fearlessly rushed over and grabbed Duke’s pants.Perhaps Duke had realized just how gloomy he had been, which led to him being more patient at the moment. He put Melody down, smiled fa

As soon as she pushed the door open and got out, Serene went toward her. She exclaimed with an exaggerated gawk on her face. “Wow, Miss Daugherty! It’s only been a few days, but you seem to have become prettier! Women who are in love really start glowing. We will definitely succeed in the reporting of results today!”Adina was speechless.Did her personal life have anything to do with her work?“Wow, isn’t this Miss Daugherty who is getting married?”A scornful voice was heard from the back.When Adina turned around, she saw Jasmine pushing the car door open and getting out. Something was flashing in her eyes.Jasmine walked over, wrapped her arms around her chest, and said, “Miss Daugherty, it looks like Duke is not sincere to you. Otherwise, why would he let you come out and work your fingers to the bones right before your wedding?”Adina’s gaze was indifferent. She smiled faintly. “Speaking of the wedding, I suddenly recall that it seems like I didn’t give you the invitation

She did not expect that things would progress to this point.“This is what people mean when they say, like mother, like daughter.” Adina indifferently smiled. “I can forgive Mdm. Jones, so I naturally can also forgive you. After all, you’re still very young.”As soon as she said that, the people’s gazes at Jasmine were filled with contempt.Previously, Zhenny aggressively attended the celebration party of Elitos and defamed Adina for plagiarism, but she was actually the person who plagiarized.Everyone in this room had witnessed that incident personally.But now, they witnessed a similar incident again.“You… don’t talk nonsense!” Jasmine gritted her teeth and said, “I’m not a programmer. Of course, I can’t explain this. If I let our Chief Technical Officer present the result, his performance will not be worse than yours.”When Adina saw that Jasmine still tried to quibble, she laughed due to anger.Adina sneered and said, “It looks like I have to let the police get involved an
