The Jones family discovered Adina less than a week ago. She did not have any network in Jones
Corporation. As for her ability, she couldn't possibly demonstrate her ability within a month.
Hence, the competition’s approach was unfair to her.
Dillon considered the issue and said, “Father , I think a month is too short for the contest.
We should give it half a year to allow Addy to adapt to Jones Corporation and its surroundings…” The
key was to develop Adina’s network so that she had a chance to prevail in the tough battle.
“Uncle Dillon, that's very funny,” Jasmine played with her hair and said without hesitation.
“Back in the day, after my mother returned from abroad, she fought for her position with you even
though she didn’t have a complete understanding of Jones Corporation.
My mother managed to adjust within a month's time, so I trust Adina can too.” Dillon was frustrated
when he heard her words.
Back then, he had shown no interest in succeeding Jones Corporation.He agreed to join the
succession contest only because he was afraid of Mr.Jones’ continuous nagging.
Taking part in the succession contest was just for show.
Truth was, he did not care about it at all.He gave up the position and allowed Zhenny to take it away
from him.
However, Jasmine said that Zhenny had gained the position based on her own ability.
Was that not irritating?
“Father, even though Jas' surname is Yackley, she’s your granddaughter.She addresses you as her
grandpa.Both of them are your granddaughters.You have to be fair to them,” Zhenny said indifferently.
Daniel pursed his lips and said, “If half a year isn’t feasible.How about three months?”
If Jasmine had not deceived him, Adina would not have gotten involved in this fight for power.
Adina had not truly mingled with the Jones family.She could not possibly win if she was only given a
month.
“A month will suffice” A silvery voice rang out.
Adina appeared nonchalant as she curled the corners of her lips upward and said, “If we’re given three
months or half a year, she won't accept it when she loses.I won't have the time to get into trouble with
her in case she requests a do-over.” Jasmineflew into a fit of rage upon hearing Adina's words.
“How arrogant of you, Adina.I hope it won't be a one-sided match,” she said coldly.
Both of them exchanged glances, and the atmosphere was filled with hostility.
Of course, Adina looked calm and indifferent.
Meanwhile, Jasmine could not hold back her anger.Her eyes filled with hostility.
"Since Addy agrees with it, the period of the contest will tentatively last for a month,” saidMr.
Jones with a straight face.
“We have three major projects in Jones Corporation.We've invested more than $2,000,000,000 in these
three projects, and you can choose one of them for your assessment.After a month, we'll assess your
performance mainly based on the level of the project’s completion as well as its estimated profits.” The
score of the projects accounted for fifty percent of the overall score, so they weighed a lot.
The one who won in terms of the projects would most likely be the successor.
Adina had learned from Duke about Jones Corporation's three major projects.
The petrochemical project was the largest project with the most capital investment.
As such, it would most likely be the project that could generate a higher estimated profit.
Besides, Zhenny was the one who started the project.
Hence, Jasmine would almost certainly choose the petrochemical project as her assessment.
Sure enough, Jasmine spoke before her.
“I’ll choose first.Adina, I hope you don't mind." Adina gave her a faint smile.
“Be my guest.” Dillon got worked up.
“Father , I think it’s best to draw lots.That seems fairer.” The petrochemical project was certainly the
best project among the rest.
Aside from its high capital investment and high return, it was, most importantly, in the hands of the
company’s largest shareholder.
Obtaining the petrochemical project was equivalent to obtaining the largest shareholder’s support.
Zhenny smiled wickedly.
“I have no qualms with drawing lots.”
