Adina and the four children were in the living room playing with jigsaw puzzles on the carpet.
The TV was playing a random news channel, and she suddenly heard a familiar name.She raised her
head to watch the TV screen.
"The war of successors to Jones Group has kicked off.As a large family with a long history, the battle
for succession in each generation is ferocious.There is only one male successor in the Jones family for
this generation.It was thought that Daniel Jones would be the guaranteed successor, but he has
unexpectedly dropped out of the race.."
Adina frowned.She still remembered the project with Elitos.
Jasmine had planned it to defraud her so that she could garner more profit, thus increasing her
advantage over those vying for the company’s succession.
Daniel and Jasmine were the only members of the younger generation in the Jones family.
But Jasmine carried a different surname, so she had to work even harder to gain the family’s
recognition.
Yet Daniel had pulled out from the succession race, so that made Jasmine the next head of Jones
Corporation by default.
‘Jones Corporation is such a large company.Aren’t they worried that the company would be ruined if
they hand it over to an unreliable person like Jasmine?’ Adina shook her head and stopped thinking
about it.
She and the Jones family were like poles of a magnet that would never meet.
Even if Jones Corporation went bankrupt, it had nothing to do with her.
Right as she turned off the television, Duke walked in from the dining room.
While buttoning his shirt, the man whispered "Something came up that needs my attention.I have to go
out for a while.."
Adina got up.
"What a coincidence.I’m taking the children to their preschool so that they can resume classes.Be back
early for dinner.."
Duke bent over to plant a kiss on her face before he turned and left.It was not until his figure
disappeared from the doorway did Adina finally look away.
"Heehee, Daddy and Mommy are flirting now!"
Melody covered her mouth as she smiled, and said "Mommy’s face is all red now.."
Alden cleared his throat and said "Mel, don’t make fun of Mommy.."
He had a feeling that his little sister was becoming more talkative.
Harold wore a bitter expression and asked "Mommy, do we have to go back to school?"
Adina nodded.
"You haven’t been to school for over twenty days.We have to report back to your school to resume your
studies.."
Harold, that little brat, continued to make a face.
"Sigh, if I had known sooner, I wouldn’t have been so eager to look for Daddy.Nothing good came out
of getting Daddy back.It was bad enough that Mommy’s time got fully booked by him, and now we have
to go back to school every day.Oh man, my life is so sad!"
"Then you can stay at home," George said emotionlessly.
"The three of us will go with Mommy to the preschool.." Harold was speechless.
‘Being home alone is also pitiful!’ Harold began to act cute, saying"I think school is kind of fun.
“Mommy, I want to go to school.."
Adina could not resist a chuckle.
After changing her skirt, she took the four children out the door.
Her car had just reached the end of the winding road in front of the entrance of the Winters family’s
mansion when another car met hers head-on.
Dillon gripped the steering wheel, and his pupils contracted abruptly.
These past three weeks, almost twenty-odd days, he had sent numerous people to look for Addy’s
whereabouts, and each time they returned in disappointment.
Just as he was about to accept that Addy was gone from this world, someone told him that the Winters
family’s mansion seemed lively once more.
Thus, he had driven here to try his luck.
