Madam Winters’s Fight For Her Children Chapter 840

“Grandma isn‘t in a good mood. Spend more time with her after you finish school, okay?” Adina stroked
her children‘s heads before heading to the kitchen to prepare dinner.

Alden nodded.

“Does it have anything to do with Earl?”

Alden and George were aware of the story so Adina did not hide it from them.

She heaved a sigh and said, “Grandma will see the light as time goes by. Don‘t worry too much about
her.” After that, Adina poured oil into the frying pan and prepared dinner skillfully.

The kitchen helper had prepared all of the ingredients for her in the morning. All Adina had to do was
cook. She finished preparing seven dishes within half an hour. After they had dinner, the children read
books and did their homework. Meanwhile , Adina and Duke worked in their study.

Adina was in the middle of studying some information regarding Jones Corporation. She was one of the
candidates for the succession contest, so she had to gain a better understanding of herself and her
competitor to prevail.

Duke passed her some documents.

“These are Jones Corporation‘s financial reports for the past few years and its major projects in the
past six months. Take your time to read them.

The corners of Adina‘s lips curled upward. “Honey, that‘s very kind of you. How did you know I needed
this information?”



Duke smiled. “How do you plan to return my kindness, then?”

Right after he spoke, Adina snorted. “Can you stop having dirty thoughts? Don‘t you feel tired from
having sex several times a day?”

“No, I don‘t.” Duke pestered her. “You can continue reading the information tomorrow. Let‘s rest early
tonight.”

His body temperature rose, but Adina avoided him.“ They‘ll have a shareholder meeting the day after
tomorrow. It‘ll be too late to read all this tomorrow. Honey, don‘t do this… Duke, if you refuse to listen to
me, I‘ll ignore you!”

The moment she raised her voice, Duke immediately kept himself in check. He obediently went to the
side and worked on his documents.



Adina leaned on his back and crossed her legs while she flipped through the Jones Corporation
information…

The days passed peacefully without any disturbance. Soon, it was the day of Jones Corporation‘s
shareholder meeting.

The major shareholders and top management of Jones Corporation were in attendance. As such, the
meeting room was crowded.

Dillon personally brought Adina into the meeting room, and the crowd swept their gazes across her in
unison.

Adina was used to facing big occasions. She entered the meeting room calmly and bowed to the
crowd. Then, she calmly said, “Hi, everyone. I‘m Adina Daugherty. I‘m also a member of the Jones




family. Nice to meet all of you.”

The crowd inside the meeting room respected Dillon, so they applauded wildly for her.

“Please be seated,” Mr. Jones said coolly as he took his place in the main seat.

Many of the attendees had attended the reunion banquet. They were aware of the purpose of the
meeting. Hence, they fell silent and listened to what Mr. Jones had to say next.

“We‘ve set the rules. Only direct descendants from our family‘s bloodline are qualified to compete in the
succession. The most capable and talented person will become the person in charge of Jones
Corporation,” Mr. Jones said calmly. “Addy is part of our family, so she has

the right to participate. There‘s no doubt about that. Do you have anything to voice out?”

Mr. Jones had personally confirmed that Adina was a member of the Jones family, thus she was
qualified to take part in the succession contest. As such, no one had the courage to go against him. If
they did, it would be tantamount to challenging Mr. Jones‘ power in public. For a moment, the crowd
remained silent.

Jasmine looked down and smirked to herself.

“If no one has any qualms about it, Addy and Jas will officially begin competing for Jones Corporation,”
Mr. Jones said calmly. “The flow of the contest is the same as before. Whoever has the highest rating
within a month will inherit Jones Corporation.”

The performance rating table was complicated. They measured the nominees‘ performance in terms of
their project profitability, project completion, employee ratings, senior scoring, and so on. The overall
score would be a complex factor.



Project profitability and networking would be the two most crucial elements of all.
