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 succession 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 plan 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 too late 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 occasions. 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 applauded wildly for her.

“Please be seated,” Mr. Jones said coolly as he took his place 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 to compete in the

succession. The most capable and talented person will become 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 succession 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 begin competing 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 was complicated. They measured the nominees‘ performance in terms of

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

score would be a complex factor.

Project profitability and networking would be the two most crucial elements of all.
