Jasmine's response made Dillon's expression turn completely cold.
“Even you can run for the heir position when you're not a member of the Jones family.Why can’t Addy?”
His gaze was disapproving.
“Besides, Addy is the real Ms.Jones.If I hear the term 'illegitimate daughter' again, I'm going to ask you
to stop calling me ‘Uncle.” Jasmine widened her eyes in disbelief.
Uncle Dillon had always pampered her the most, and he would give her the best.
However, he was saying such cruel things to her now.
Adina was clearly an illegitimate daughter.
Why could she not say that? Just as she was about to refute, Zhenny stopped her.
Zhenny’s expression was also sullen.She knew that nothing good would come of it when Adina
suddenly wanted to return to the Jones family.
Despite that, she did not expect the little b*stard to actually have such a plan.
Dillon and Zhenny had been close siblings about twenty years ago, and she knew slightly about Dillon’s
relationship with Olivia.
She even knew that Dillon pampered and protected Olivia like a treasure, but she did not know why
Olivia ended up marrying another man.
When Dillon discovered that Olivia was married, he became depressed for at least two years.
Upon Olivia's accidental passing not long after that, Dillon felt dejected for about eight years.
During that time, Zhenny slowly gained her father's trust and gradually took over Jones Corporation’s
core project.
She was aware of how much Dillon loved Olivia, so she knew how much he would love their daughter
just as much.
Therefore, as long as Adina wanted something, Dillon would definitely give it to her.
Zhenny breathed in before she calmly said, “Addy, you've just returned to the Jones family, and you
haven’t settled many things.We'll talk about being the heir later."
Her words snapped most of the people out of their daze.
Daniel's withdrawal from the competition some time ago had also been on the local news in Sea City.
In the end, Jasmine, the niece, became the only candidate for the heir.
Now, the first thing that the family's illegitimate daughter asked following her return was about being the
heir.
Everyone in the hall watched the show.
“Adina’s so shameless.It's only her first day back with the Jones family, yet she wants to be the
heir.How shameful can she be?”
"She's really using all means to get the Jones family’s property.I can tell she's been raised in the wrong
way.Mr.Jones must regret holding this banquet.She has embarrassed the Jones family."
“In that case, Adina and Duke have truly gotten divorced, or else she wouldn’t want the Jones family’s
property.”
“Even if she wants their property, she should take it slow.She’s in such a hurry to be the heir.Isn't she
afraid of other people knowing her intentions?" The guests discussed it in low murmurs, but Dillon still
heard their voices.
Dillon indifferently said, “Addy is the descendent of the Jones family, so she is qualified to be in the
running.It's what Addy deserves, so outsiders can stop barking.”
"Uncle, can’t you see Adina’s intentions?” Jasmine could no longer hold back.
She angrily said, "She's only willing to rejoin the Jones family because she wants to be the heir!Her
ambition is so obvious.You're the one who still believes that she wants you to be her father!”
“What about you? Why are you trying to be the heir, then?” A displeased Dillon asked her in return.
As an elder, he did not want to confront his junior in public, but Jasmine really let him down.
His love for her for so many years had been a waste.
Jasmine was stumped by the question, but it did not take long for her to firmly reply, “That’s because
Daniel gave his chance up, so I have to take his place.”
