âAddy? Canât believe Iâd run into her herẽâ
Dillon suddenly hit the brakes and stopped his car right in front of Adinaâs vehicle.He pushed open the car door to get out, then he walked toward the driverâs seat where Adina was and lightly tapped on her door.
Adina lowered the car window and coolly said âMr.Jones, is something wrong?â
âAddy, where have you been these past three weeks, Iâve been trying to find youâ¦.â
Dillonâs speech was somewhat incoherent.
âWhat happened to your face? Did you get injured? Is it serious?â
His concern went beyond words, which made it hard for Adina to keep a stoic facade.
She softened her tone as she said âI went on trip overseas and only got back yesterday.Is there a reason why you were looking for me, Mr.Jones?â
âNo, itâs nothingâ¦.â
Dillon sighed in relief.
âI was just a little worried for you.Itâs good that youâre okayâ¦.â
When he finished speaking, he was not sure what to say next, yet he was reluctant to leave, so he just stood like an idiot in front of her car.
there is nothing else, I shall take my leave.I still have to take my children to preschool,â Adina âIâll come with you..â
was dry as be free.Can I treat you all to dinner once youâre done with your âNope..â
shaggy head popped up from the already promised Daddy weâd be seemed to have casually said âGrandpa Dillon, Mommy just returned from overseas, so sheâs a little busy now.If you want to take Mommy out for dinner, youâll have to with you now to meet next week for dinner.Same time.Is that alright? He appeared tentative, as he feared he would be no need to wait a week.We âThank you, Addy..â
hurriedly moved aside better get a move on, then.Drive carefully the car which had been drawn taut for half a month, finally evened for a dinner at a hotel, or was contemplating this, his soon as he saw the caller ID, Dillonâs âI placed so much hope on him.I even gave him the majority of the Jones familyâs resources, and this is how his fatherâs verbal abuse, Dillon A while ago, Daniel had been determined to compete for the successorâs seat.
Dillon had been helping him with it, too.
Even Dillonâs father had been overjoyed by this.
Yesterday, no one could have imagined that Daniel would suddenly pull out of the succession race in public.
He then turned off his phone and locked himself in his room.
In the past, he had no interest in taking over the company.
Today, his son had walked down the same path, and Dillon did not find this strange at all.
Even if he did not become the successor, he would still live well.
His only regret was that he was not the one in power.
In extension to that, Dillon would have also lost his ability to protect his daughter.
âIâm giving Jasmine a one-month probation period.If she performs exceptionally well, then Jasmine shall become the next head of the Jones family.I will also arrange for her to change her surname.At that point, Daniel will have no more chances!â Mr.Jones said coldly.
Dillon sighed.
âFather, Iâll try to persuade him again..â
At the very least, he had to ascertain why exactly did Daniel give up the succession raceâ¦
