Her gaze was as sharp as two sharp knives, and Jasmine dared not look her in the eyes as a result.
“Who‘s the one being suppressed here?” Adina sneered. “You used Mr. Krisman to force your way into
becoming a collaborator on this project. You‘re making me complete the whole project, yet you still
intend to take 40% of the profit. Do you think I‘m an easy target? If I really wanted to suppress you, I
would have kicked you out by now. Why would I give Jones Corporation 20% of the profit?”
Jasmine was furious, but she was helpless.
This was the stepping stone for her to become the heir of the Jones family. She had to get things done
perfectly so that she could impress her grandpa.
If this b*tch, Adina, did not exist, she would have completed her task successfully. She would not have
to lower her status and come here to seek a collaboration.
She gritted her teeth and said, “Adina, you purposely designed a chip framework that has never
appeared before. You intentionally made it this way so that other designers wouldn‘t know what to do.
You‘re horrible!”
“Before I designed the plan, I didn‘t know that someone else would share a portion of it.” Adina smiled
in an unbothered manner. “If I had known that Jones Corporation would become my collaborator, I
would‘ve designed the simplest chip.”
That did not physically hurt, but it was extremely insulting.
Jasmine‘s expression darkened even further.
Zhenny was much older, so she managed to hold back and school her expression.
“Ms. Daugherty, you‘re right. Let‘s redraw the agreement and make it a 20/80 split,” she said
indifferently.
Adina‘s smile was bright again. “Serene, prepare the contract.”
Serene stood up and handed them two sets of newly–printed contracts not long after.
Zhenny cast a deep glance at Adina before she signed at the bottom of the page. Adina also picked up
a pen and dropped her signature.
“Ms. Daugherty, I hope we can work together happily in the future.”
After Zhenny shook hands with Adina, she finally brought Jasmine out of LaStar Technology
Corporation.
“Mom, Adina‘s so shameless!” Jasmine stomped her feet angrily. “If we only take 20% of the profit,
Jones Corporation won‘t even get $10,000,000 in annual benefits. This project was supposed to give
Jones Corporation at least $50,000,000 in profit. If Grandpa finds out that I screwed this up, he‘ll never
agree to let me be the heir.”
“Why are you afraid?” Zhenny said coldly. “We signed this contract privately with Adina. There‘s also a
confidentiality agreement in the contract. If you keep your mouth shut, your grandpa won‘t know a thing
about this. As for the annual profit, I‘ll allocate a couple dozen million dollars to you from Jones
Corporation‘s public account. I‘ll also hire an experienced accountant to create the accounts of this
project for you. Don‘t worry. He won‘t know.”
Only then did Jasmine sigh in relief. “After I become the heir of Jones Corporation, I‘ll settle this with
Adina.”
“Enough. She‘s Mrs. Winters now. You can‘t match her status. Don‘t keep causing yourself trouble.”
Zhenny massaged her forehead and said, “It won‘t be too late to step on her after she and Duke get a
divorce.”
Jasmine gritted her teeth with rage.
Unless that b*tch, Adina, became old and no longer had a beautiful face, Duke would never divorce
her.
It would take at least ten years if she wanted to wait for that day.
Fine, it would never be too late to avenge herself. She would just wait.
“Ms. Daugherty.” Serene could not help but softly say, “You‘re Mrs. Winters now. If you say something,
Elitos won‘t let Jones Corporation continue participating in this project. Their participation is actually
unjustified and undeserving…”
Adina pursed her lips and nonchalantly said, “It‘s fine.”
Even though she and Duke had a strong, affectionate relationship, she would not ask her husband for
help when it came to work.
Besides, Duke and her…
As newlyweds, they had not been in contact for three whole days.
