Adina chuckled.
“What about you? What do you think?”
“Jasmine lacks real skill. If Jones Corporation is really handed to her, it will definitely go downhill in
three years.” Adina could not help but smile.
“Since you know that, why did you back out from the succession contest?” Daniel was silent. He would
never admit that he was an idiot sometimes.
“It will be fantastic if we can win, but it’ll be fine if we lose too.” Adina smiled.
“You’ve been handling the resort project by yourself all this time. When the project ends, you will have
learned far more than you could have imagined. It’ll be a priceless achievement in your life. With that,
perhaps you can one day build another empire for the Jones family.”
?
“Thanks for giving me this chance, Adina, “Daniel said sincerely.
“Why are you thanking me? You should thank your grandpa. He cares about you, which is why he let
me join the contest. Grandpa Jones loves you. You better not let the old man down.”
“I won’t!” Daniel said fiercely.
After chatting with Daniel for a while, Adina felt a bit sleepy. She ended the video call and rested
against the couch with her eyes closed. The sky gradually darkened, and another day was almost over.
?
Adina forced herself awake and got up to prepare dinner. She noticed some movement behind the
bushes outside.She narrowed her eyes and walked to the mansion’s entrance.
“Guards!”
There were other residences near the mansion. The two security guards usually stayed there, and
Isabelle’s maid was also locked up in one of the residences.
When the guards heard her voice, they quickly rushed to the yard.
“Miss Adina!” They bowed.
“Go and see what’s going on there.” Adina pointed at the direction of the bushes.
The guards placed a hand over the revolver at their waists warily and walked over to the place she
pointed at.
“Don’t move! Raise your hands!”
When the guards realized there was someone lurking behind the bushes, they quickly pulled out their
revolvers.
Two little boys climbed out of the bushes.
“Georgie, Al, why are you two here?” Adina asked in shock.
