If Mr. Jones were to find out about this, he would certainly question Mr. Owen and Mr.Jared. Even
though Mr.Owen and Mr.Jared did not receive any benefits from Zhenny, the rumors that spread alone
could ruin them…
“Mdm.Jones, Ms.Daugherty, we still have other issues to handle.We’ll take our leave.” Mr.Owen and
Mr.Jared forced a smile as they left.
Zhenny chuckled and said, “Addy, you're young, but don't be so hot-tempered.No matter what,
Mr.Owen and Mr.Jared are experienced staff in Jones Corporation.You shouldn't be rude to them.”
In other words, Zhenny was hinting to Adina that Mr.Owen and Mr.Jared had been hurt by Adina’s
actions.She was mocking Adina for not showing respect to the company’s experienced staff.
Adina sighed.
“Mr.Owen and Mr.Jared are very capable.I was looking forward to learning from them.Unfortunately,
they seemed to show more interest in working on the petrochemical project with you.What a waste…”
Zhenny squinted.
'Is this b*tch saying that I'm stealing her manpower?!' If Mr.Jones were to learn about this, Mr.Jones
would certainly criticize her.
Zhenny decided to drop all pretenses and sneered.
“Adina, we'll see if you can still be this cocky in a month.”
“Zhenny, I wish you could always remain so complacent too.” Adina smirked before she entered the
elevator in her heels.
After Graham and Mr.Wilson sent Adina and Daniel off to the elevator, they looked nervous.
Both of them had previously offended Jasmine.She had wanted to gain some personal benefits from a
project, but the duo rejected her.
As a result, their services were not regarded highly.They were aware that their career in Jones
Corporation would come to an end the moment Jasmine became the successor.
Even though they did not hold incredibly important positions in the company, they had worked hard for
six to seven years before gaining their current positions.
They were reluctant to give it all up.
Choosing Adina was their final gamble.
“Graham, do you think Ms.Daugherty is reliable?'’
“I don't know..." Graham heaved a sigh.
“There are only four of us handling such a large project.I think it's rather difficult to win the contest..."
“Ms.Daugherty is Mdm.Winters.I guess she'll seek help from the Winters family,” Mr.Wilson spoke
softly.
“Forget it.Not even one of the Winters family members attended the reunion banquet.I believe she'll get
a divorce sooner or later," said Graham.
“If Ms.Daugherty has so little advantage , why did you step out and join her team in the first place?”
Graham answered, “Because I don’t have a second choice.”
AlthoughGraham had chosen to join Adina's team because he did not have a choice, he was later
convinced by her poise.
Even though Adina was placed in a disadvantageous position, she confronted others calmly.
Even though everyone targeted her, she never cowered.Her gaze was razor-sharp.She gave off an
imposing aura and carried herself with confidence.She convinced everyone with her own skills, and it
was hard to believe she was only twenty-three years old...She would turn twenty-four next year.
Still, she was really young.
Graham believed that even if Adina lost the contest, she would put up a good fight.
