Chapter 862 Duke laughed. âGo to bed. Take a nap. Iâll put you to bed.â âIâm not Melody. Why do I even
need youto put me to bed?â Adina snorted.
But he looked at her so tenderly that she could not resist.
She leaned against his chest., âDo continue your work.
Iâll read some books, instead.
Reading does make me sleepy.â Duke nodded.
He wrapped his arm around her waist and tapped the keyboard with the other.
Adina could not stand reading any more of the books.
She took out her phone and browsed through the news.
She saw something that shocked her.
She wondered how she had made the headlines yet again.
âThe Sea Cityâs former most beautiful woman personally went to the site.
She fainted because of tremendous working stress.
It was teary to behold.â The corners of Adinaâs lips twitched.
âWhy did the news make it sound as if she was very weak and pitiful?â
She clicked on thecomment session and scrolled down.
She was caught by surprise.
Infobagh
Whenever she was mentioned in the news in the past, the netizens would always attack her and leave vile comments.
But this time was different.
They were actually supportive of her.
Adina raised her eyebrows suspiciously.
âDuke, does this have anything to do with you?â Duke stared at her helplessly.
âAddy, I know being very smart can make people very jealous.â
âSo, it was you who did this!â Adina held his chin up.
Her eyes were bright and clear.
âLet me think, the reason you purposely put me in the headline is to pressurize the Jones family, isnât it? Is
this forMr.
Jones?â
âYes.â Duke smirked.
âZhenny caused you trouble.
Itâs only normal to return the favor.â Adina looked up and kissed him.
They shared a passionate moment.
Meanwhile, the atmosphere in the Jones familyâs house was solemn.
Everyone looked grave.
Daniel was stressed.
Anger appeared in his eyes.
He had always been a man of few words.
He never complained even when he was being treated unfairly.
However, this time, he truly could not stand it anymore.
âAunt Zhenny, you have taken on the largest project and gained the support of the top management.
I really donât understand why you still have to play tricks?!â Daniel said without hesitation.
âIs it because my older sister is too capable that youâre afraid she will surpass everybody,hence you
decided to make the first move in order to gain an upper hand?â âNonsense!â Zhenny refuted angrily.
âIâve gone through the investigation report regarding the water quality of the resort by the sea.
The water contains high levels of chemical elements that can be harmful to humans.
Thus, I took the initiative to seal the coastline so that you wonât develop the sea area lest you have to bear
the irreversible consequences!â Dillon sneered.
âLet us take a look at the investigation report about the water quality, then.â
Zhenny said coolly, âAfter I finish my work, Iâll bring the report over to you sothat you can keep it as a
record.â âAunt Zhenny, if you had the investigation report about the water quality from long ago, why you
didnât change the proposal before?â questioned Daniel.â Instead, why did you take the initiative to seal the
coastline after WE took over the project? This is against the companyâs policy! Just youâre the CEO, can
you turn a blind eye on the companyâs policy?â Zhenny was at a loss for words.
Daniel used to be a very quiet boy.
He seldom got involved in the companyâs business.
Zhenny had never expected him to be so eloquent and troublesome.
âAddy and Dan have taken over the resort project,â said Dillon, indifferently.â Both of them will be
responsible for all of the issues related to the project.
As their aunt, you shouldnât butt in their affairs.
The petrochemical projectâs safety issue has always been a major concern.
Itâs best that you put in all your effort on your own project.
If something goes wrong with the safety issue, Jones Corporation will be affected.â
Zhenny gritted her teeth.
She had been the companyâs CEO for many years now.
She had her own set of rules.
She didnât appreciate Dillon trying to tell her how to do things.
âZhenny, Dillon is right,â said Mr.
Jones.
âWinning is important, but Jones Corporationâs reputation is more important.
Do you understand what Iâm saying?â Zhenny suppressed her irritation.
âUnderstood.
I always pay attention to safety issues
