Mr. Owen and Mr. Jared were in their mid-fifties, and they exuded a majestic aura. Meanwhile, Graham
and Mr. Wilson were only in their early thirties.
Mr.Owen and Mr.Jared overwhelmed them effortlessly with their presence.
Even so, Adina did not show much reaction.
She grinned and said, “Mr.Owen, Mr.Jared, both of you are my grandfather's most trusted staff.Don’t
hesitate to speak your mind.I will take your opinions into careful consideration.”
“If you can manage the resort project well, it will produce promising results.However, if you insist on
using it to compete with the petrochemical project, you’re just making a fool out of yourself,” Mr.Owen
said in a deep voice.
“Ms.Daugherty, I would suggest that you take this project as training and not be overly ambitious so
that you won’t be distracted…” Adina’s smilefroze.
“Mr.Owen, are you saying that I should give up on the succession contest?”
“Ms.Daugherty, Mr.Owen is being honest,” said Mr.Jared.
“Ms.Yackley has established her own force in the corporation.Besides, she can learn everything from
Mdm.Jones.You can’t possibly compete with her.Instead of fighting a war that you'll surely lose, you
might as well learn as much as you can from this project...”
"Mr.Owen, Mr.Jared, your opinions are very interesting.“Adina smirked.
“But your words are not the kind of advice I want to hear at this stage.If you don't have the intention of
helping me to win the contest, please leave.I don't keep people who don't share the same goals."
Mr.Owen and Mr.Jared appeared troubled.
They were Mr.Jones’ confidants as well as his most trusted staff.
Even Mr.Jones showed them respect.However, Adina drove them away without hesitation.
Indeed, illegitimate children did not know any manners!
“Ms.Daugherty, since you've said so, we won't be so thick-skinned to stay here anymore.” Mr.Jared
stood up and walked out of the meeting room.
“Ms.Daugherty, when you lose the contest, don't forget our words today,” Mr.Owen said right after, The
duo then left the room.
A look of concern filled Daniel’s eyes.
“Adina, I don't think we should let them leave our team.” Graham nodded.
“Mr.Owen and Mr.Jared started their career in Jones Corporation from the bottom.They have a wealth
of experience.With their guidance , we can work on the resort project more efficiently.Even though we
might not surpass Ms.Yackley and her team…” Adina snorted.
“Unfortunately, Mr.Owen and Mr.Jared didn't show the slightest intention to guide us...” Mr.Owen and
Mr.Jared were loyal to Mr.Jones, but they were aware that Jones Corporation would fall into Zhenny
and Jasmine’s hands at the end of the day.
Hence, they could not risk offending Zhenny.
Those two were disloyal to her.
There was no point in keeping them since they would not provide her with any benefits.
As a result, the meeting room was left with four people.
Graham and Mr.Wilson had taken the initiative to join Adina’s group.
They continued to raise their opinions and express constructive opinions.
Hence, Adina had a better understanding of the project.She calmly said, “We'll go on a field trip to the
project site tomorrow.That's all for today.”
They dismissed the meeting and left the meeting room.
As they arrived at the left corner of the meeting room, they heard the sound of someone talking.
Mr.Owen and Mr.Jared had left the meeting room for more than twenty minutes.
Right now, they were talking to Zhenny.
The three of them were laughing and chatting happily.It was clear that they were close to one another.
Daniel’s face darkened.
“Zhenny has bribed them since the beginning.I'm going to tell Grandpa about this.”
“Don't you find that childish?” Adina glared at him.“ Only children complain to their parents.
As adults, we have to prove them." Daniel's face turned red.
“I’m not a child anymore.”
“Then prove them wrong.Make Mr.Owen and Mr.Jared regret their words,” Adina said coolly.
“Keep your anger to yourself.Let’s go.” Graham and Mr.Wilson exchanged glances before they followed
Adina.
They looked straight ahead as they passed by Zhenny and her group.
“Zhenny, why aren’t you busy yet?” Adina grinned.
“Oh, Mr.Owen, Mr.Jared, you're here, too! I thought you went to look for my grandpa.” Zhenny and her
group seemed unnerved after hearing her words.
Mr.Owen and Mr.Jared worked under Mr.Jones.
They were separated from the forces in headquarters on purpose.Still, they ended up joining Zhenny.
