Chapter 432
Earley stood up and extended his right hand. “Ms. Daugherty, I hope we will have happy cooperation in
the future.”
Adina also got up and moved her chair aside. She shook hands with Earley. “Mr. Earley Wynters, may
we have a happy cooperation as well.”
When her hand touched Earley’s hand, she experienced a shiver that rose up her spine from her
fingertips. The air was frigid. It was far more frigid than the cold air from a refrigerator.
She only lightly touched Earley’s hand in a symbolic gesture and quickly withdrew.
Earley pulled his hand back and inserted it into the suit pant pocket. He said coldly, “There will be a
celebration banquet tomorrow night after today’s tender conference. Don’t forget to attend, Ms.
Daugherty.”
After saying that, without waiting for Adina to answer, he ordered his secretary to send Adina and Serene

When they got outside and the sunlight shone down their shoulders, Serene let out a sigh of relief, “Ms.
Daugherty, don’t you think Mr. Earley Wynters is strange?”
Adina nodded and said, “He is indeed a little strange, but
the good news is that there is less likelihood of us dealing with each other in the future.”
“That’s true.” Serene grinned and said, “Ms. Daugherty, you are truly amazing. You took on such a
significant case without making a sound. Our company will not have to worry about the next three
years.”
Meanwhile, at Jones Corporation.
“What did you say?” Zhenny raised her head, her exquisitely maintained face showing brief signs of
shock. “You said that the chief chip designer for Elitos Corporation’s new project chose someone else
from the inside?”
The assistant stood in front of the desk trembling, “Yes, Ms. Jones, Mr. Earley Wynters’s secretary had
personally
called me.”
Zhenny put down the pen, took a deep breath, and asked, “Who is the chip designer that Elitos has
chosen? Do you know the news?”
The assistant paused for a moment and continued, “I’ve heard that it’s the general manager of a new
small company, whose last name appears to be Daugherty. They formally signed the cooperation
contract this morning when Ms. Daugherty showed up at Elitos Corporation.”
This indicated that the Jones family had lost all hope.
Zhenny pinched her eyebrows, “For a newly established small company to actually be able to snatch the
case on the board from my hands, something smells fishy about
it.”
“Ms. Jones, I also heard that Ms. Daugherty only spent five hours drafting a proposal that amazed the
senior management of Elitos, which caused them to forgo the Jones family and choose that small

Zhenny’s eyes turned fiercely cold.
A few seconds later, she sneered coldly while raising the corner of her mouth, “So that’s how it is?” Do
they genuinely think that the Jones family is vulnerable to intimidation?”
Adina went to the company, spent some time there working, and then she drove back home.
When she pushed open the door of the house, she found that no one was inside the house.
When she was about to call Duke, she discovered that this man had sent her a message on WhatsApp
two hours earlier.
“I took the children back to Winters’ house. Go straight to the Winters’ house when you are finished with
your work.”
Adina’s brows furrowed when she read the line on the screen.
The children all stayed at her home. How come they went to the Winters family’s villa?
If she lets George and Harold come back to live with her again today, would it be as smooth as it was
yesterday? Adina sighed from just thinking about this. She believed that it was better to not be so greedy
and be satisfied with the night before.
