It was the annual business banquet in Sea City, and the organizers had invited many business bigwigs.
Before the event officially began, there was already a long line of luxury cars parked in front of the
hotel.
People were dressed up, and it was lively.
A black car soon stopped in front of the hotel.
When aman and woman stepped out in front of everyone, they attracted the attention of countless
people.
"Aren’t they Mr.and Mrs.Winters?"
"The reporters have been spreading rumors that they’re divorced.They look quite close, don’t they?"
"Haven’t you heard of a separating couple that still looks united on the surface? I don’t think they look
like a couple."
"My friend works in Winters Corporation.He heard that Duke has been very close to a foreign
woman.They always spend at least an hour in the office alone.When a man and a woman stay in a
room for about an hour, what do you think happens?"
"My cousin’s husband’s brother works as a driver for the Winters family’s neighbor.He personally saw
Duke quarreling with Adina every day.I heard that he hasn’t been home for half a month."
"Are the sources of your news reliable? If all that is real, why would they still show up in public at the
same time?"
"Getting a divorce right after getting married will greatly affect Winters Corporation’s stock price.If they
act as an intimate married couple, there will be more advantages than disadvantages."
Everyone discussed their marriage in excitement, but their voices instantly disappeared when Adina
and Earl entered the banquet hall.
Once the business bigwigs finally saw the CEO of Winters Corporation, all of them came over and
greeted him to seek a connection.
"Nice to meet you, Mr.Winters."
"Mr.Winters, about the project that we talked about last time..."
"Mr.Winters, let’s go there and have a cup of tea..."
A group of CEOs in their fifties dragged Earl to the lounge area at the side to discuss business.
Adina smiled while she slowly glanced around the hall.She was looking for Trent and Eilam.
Since Duke got married, they had been to Winters Corporation twice and played snooker with him.
She wanted to ask them if they had found anything different about Duke.
"What are you looking for, Ms.Daugherty?"
A teasing voice came from behind.
When Adina turned around, she saw Jasmine walking toward her with a glass of wine.Her expression
was arrogant and contemptuous.
"You seem slightly haggard." Jasmine smiled.
"Is it because you haven’t been sleeping well due to your unharmonious married life and daily
quarreling?" Adina looked at her indifferently.
"Is this the upbringing of the Yackley family, where all you do is discuss other people's married life?"
"Duke has been having affairs outside.Why are you still so arrogant?" Jasmine sneered.
"You’re Mrs.Winters, but everyone in Sea City knows that your husband had an affair right after you got
married.You think you’re on the top, but you're actually a joke that everyone discusses during
mealtime."
"Ms.Yackley, have you just forgotten that you still have a project in my hands?"
Adina twirled her wine glass.
"If I break that contract, you won't be able to report the results to Elitos within the prescribed time
limit.At that time, Jones Corporation will need to provide a compensation of at least $50,000,000.Can
you afford the loss?"
Jasmine stomped her foot in anger.
"Are you threatening me?"
"If you can mock me, why can’t I threaten you? Where’s your common sense?" Adina sneered.
"If I’m in a bad mood, I can terminate this project at any time.I’m still Mrs.Winters, so compensation for
the breach of contract is nothing to me.But Ms.Yackley, you’ re not a member of the Jones family.If you
cause the Jones family to suffer a great loss, they won't put up with you!"
