Corporation is really handed to her, it will definitely go downhill in three years.” Adina could not help but
smile. “Since you know that, why did you back out from the succession contest?” Daniel was silent. He
would never admit that he was an idiot sometimes.

“It will be fantastic if we can win, but it’ll be fine if we lose too.” Adina smiled. “You’ve been handling the
resort project by yourself all this time. When the project ends, you will have learned far more than you
could have imagined. It’ll be a priceless achievement in your life. With that, perhaps you can one day

“Thanks for giving me this chance, Adina, “Daniel said sincerely.
“Why are you thanking me? You should thank your grandpa. He cares about you, which is why he let
me join the contest. Grandpa Jones loves you. You better not let the old man down.” “I won’t!” Daniel
said fiercely.
After chatting with Daniel for a while, Adina felt a bit sleepy. She ended the video call and rested
against the couch with her eyes closed. The sky gradually darkened, and another day was almost
over.
Adina forced herself awake and got up to prepare dinner. She noticed some movement behind the
bushes outside.
She narrowed her eyes and walked to the mansion’s entrance. “Guards!”
There were other residences near the mansion. The two security guards usually stayed there, and
Isabelle’s maid was also locked up in one of the residences.
When the guards heard her voice, they quickly rushed to the yard. “Miss Adina!” They bowed.
“Go and see what’s going on there.” Adina pointed at the direction of the bushes.
The guards placed a hand over the revolver at their waists warily and walked over to the place she
pointed at.
“Don’t move! Raise your hands!” When the guards realized there was someone lurking behind the
bushes, they quickly pulled out their revolvers.
Two little boys climbed out of the bushes.

She would have expected Harold to pull something like this, but these two boys were the most
obedient. It was a real surprise. George and Alden lowered their heads in guilt. Their faces were
smudged with dirt. “Why were you two hiding there?” Adina asked after she dismissed the guards. She
dusted off the grass on their clothes,
George pouted. “We missed you, Mommy. So, we came over to see you…”
“It’s been four days since I saw you, Mommy,” Alden mumbled as he looked up. His dark eyes were
sad. “I really miss you.”
Adina sighed. Usually, Harold was the most sensitive out of all her children. George and Al were
always so uptight and rational. But now, even Alden had started becoming emotional.
She really had neglected her children these few days.
She patted their heads. “Why don’t you two come in and have dinner with me? Then you can head
back.” They nodded and were about to follow her inside when Duke strode out. “Guards! Make
arrangements to have these two taken back to the Winters family’s mansion at once!” he shouted.
