NovelEnglishChapter 880 Adina smiled gratefully at her father. She said, “The one billion is an investment that I
acquired, and it has nothing to do with the petrochemical project.” .
“It‘s not up to you to say whether it has something to do with it,” said Jasmine aggressively.” One billion
dollars is not a small amount. No more than ten companies in Sea City can spend one billion dollars to
invest in projects like these. Why don‘t you tell us who made such a large investment?”
One billion dollars indeed wasn‘t a small amount. Although shares were worth billions, who would sell
the shares for cash?
“Fortunately, I carry all the documents of the resort project with me. Otherwise, I wouldn‘t be able to
defend myself.” Adina shook her head with a smile. She took a document from her bag and put it in
front of Mr. Jones. “This is the project investment contract. I haven‘t had time to file it yet. Grandpa, you
can have a look and decide if anything is wrong there.”
Mr. Jones picked up the document. He seemed stunned. “Winters Corporation is an investor in the

Adina nodded. “The biggest investor as of now is Winters Corporation. In addition to the first phase of
investment, Winters Corporation will increase—”.
“Impossible!” Jasmine‘s eyes widened. “I thought you and Duke divorced. Why in the world would he
invest in your project?”
Adina glanced at her. “Who told you we were divorced?”
“Isn‘t it all written in the news? Even if you are together now, you are on very bad terms and on the
verge of getting a divorce!” said Jasmine. “Furthermore, Duke has another woman in his life. Why
would he invest in your project? The contract must be a fake. You are trying to deceive Grandpa.”
Mr. Jones closed the document file. “This document is authentic. Winters Corporation has invested one
billion dollars. Zhenny, don‘t trouble me if you don‘t have evidence in the future.”
He thought Adina had transferred the public funds, so he had forced Dillon to call Adina to the mansion
immediately. Mr. Jones was a little embarrassed for everything that had transpired here. “Addy, it‘s my
fault for doubting you and having you come here before I made things clear. I apologize for my
behavior.”
Adina shrugged nonchalantly. “Grandpa, it would be better if you check the finance department of the
company and keep strict surveillance. This time, one billion dollars was transferred so quietly. It makes
me think that there must be more to this. Maybe there is a problem within the company.” She
deliberately glanced at Zhenny. Zhenny almost blew her top in rage. She was about to give her a piece
of her mind when the phone vibrated. It was a call from someone in the company. “Mdm. Jones, we
found out that an accountant took advantage of the loopholes in the company‘s financial system to
transfer
one billion dollars to an overseas account.”
“Okay! I get it!” Zhenny hung up in anger. “Why is such a big loophole in the financial department not
taken care of?” asked Mr. Jones dangerously. “There was a shareholders‘ meeting a month ago.
Zhenny, didn‘t you take the meeting seriously?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Dad, there are so many things in the company to take care of. I don‘t have time to nitpick every little
thing.” Zhenny pretended to be aggrieved. “When I learned that the company‘s account had lost
money, I was also very anxious. I‘ll file a report to get the money back.”
She had actually thought it was Adina who had stolen funds from the company. But the truth was, she
had been slacking in her duties.
Zhenny could not clear her mind and keep her cool.
“Every capital of the company has its purpose. Jas should find another investment since it was the
petrochemical project that lost the assigned funds,” said Dillon. “Jas is outstanding. I‘m sure she‘ll find
a way.”
Jasmine trembled. However, she did not dare to speak. “I‘ll explain to the company about this matter,”
Zhenny said coldly. “It‘s my fault for wrongly accusing Addy without clarifying the facts first. Addy, will
you accept my apology?” Addy smiled too sweetly to be genuine. “You try apologizing first. I‘ll see if I
want to accept it or not after that.”
Zhenny almost choked in rage.
