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.

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.

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.
