My Mommy’s Brave Heart

Chapter 862

Chapter 862 Duke laughed. “Go to bed. Take a nap. I’ll put you to bed.” “I’m not Melody. Why do I even need youto put me to bed?” Adina snorted. But he looked at her so tenderly that she could not resist. She leaned against his chest., “Do continue your work. I’ll read some books, instead. Reading does make me sleepy.” 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. “The Sea City’s former most beautiful woman personally went to the site. She fainted because of tremendous working stress. It was teary to behold.” The corners of Adina’s lips twitched. “Why did the news make it sound as if she was very weak and pitiful?’ 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. “Duke, does this have anything to do with you?” Duke stared at her helplessly. “Addy, I know being very smart can make people very jealous.”

“So, it was you who did this!” Adina held his chin up. Her eyes were bright and clear. “Let me think, the reason you purposely put me in the headline is to pressurize the Jones family, isn’t it? Is this forMr. Jones?” “Yes.” Duke smirked. “Zhenny caused you trouble. It’s only normal to return the favor.” Adina looked up and kissed him. They shared a passionate moment. Meanwhile, the atmosphere in the Jones family’s 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. “Aunt Zhenny, you have taken on the largest project and gained the support of the top management. I really don’t understand why you still have to play tricks?!” Daniel said without hesitation. “Is it because my older sister is too capable that you’re afraid she will surpass everybody,hence you decided to make the first move in order to gain an upper hand?” “Nonsense!” Zhenny refuted angrily. “I’ve 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 won’t develop the sea area lest you have to bear the irreversible consequences!” Dillon sneered. “Let us take a look at the investigation report about the water quality, then.” Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

Zhenny said coolly, “After I finish my work, I’ll bring the report over to you sothat you can keep it as a record.” “Aunt Zhenny, if you had the investigation report about the water quality from long ago, why you didn’t change the proposal before?” questioned Daniel.“ Instead, why did you take the initiative to seal the coastline after WE took over the project? This is against the company’s policy! Just you’re the CEO, can you turn a blind eye on the company’s policy?’ Zhenny was at a loss for words. Daniel used to be a very quiet boy. He seldom got involved in the company’s business. Zhenny had never expected him to be so eloquent and troublesome. “Addy and Dan have taken over the resort project,” said Dillon, indifferently.” Both of them will be responsible for all of the issues related to the project. As their aunt, you shouldn’t butt in their affairs. The petrochemical project’s safety issue has always been a major concern. It’s 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.” Zhenny gritted her teeth. She had been the company’s CEO for many years now. She had her own set of rules. She didn’t appreciate Dillon trying to tell her how to do things. “Zhenny, Dillon is right,” said Mr. Jones. “Winning is important, but Jones Corporation’s reputation is more important. Do you understand what I’m saying?” Zhenny suppressed her irritation. “Understood. I always pay attention to safety issues
