Madam Winters’s Fight For Her Children
Chapter 96

Chapter 96

Duke nodded. "She's really capable. You'll know when you see her later." This R&D Project regarding automotive intelligent systems was by their team of three. It was considered an internal collaboration among three companies. They failed to replace a suitable smart chip designer previously, so the project had been delayed.

The day before yesterday, Duke had suddenly called them, and they had been incredibly surprised. This project was considered the first of its kind in the country. People who were not capable or gifted would not be able to bear the burden. The two of them were very curious about the person whom Duke had complimented as capable.

Time slowly passed while they chatted.

The three of them waited for almost half an hour, Even the good-tempered Eilam also felt slightly irritated. He frowned and said, "This genius is really not punctual."

Duke frowned coldly.

Was that woman still in the hospital?

He called his secretary to come to his office. "Call Ms. Daugherty."

His secretary nodded before he immediately went to make the call.

As soon as he said that, the other two people in the office were stunned. There were two Ms. Daugherties in their social circle. Why was he not calling the genius designer? Why was he contacting the Daugherty family? "Duke, why did you ask your secretary to call Ms. Daugherty?" Eilam asked. "Is it Ms. Adina Daugherty or Ms. Dew Daugherty?" "Adina. She's our partner for Project A-F,"Duke said indifferently. "What? Adina's the genius chip designer you were talking about?" Trent said in disbelief." Stop kidding, okay? She doesn't look like a genius to me!"

People who worked in chip design were usually thirty- to forty-year-old balding men, right? How could Adina be one of them?

Beautiful women were usually not smart.

That was his experience and conclusion after being involved in many relationships. Duke raised his eyebrows in an aloof manner. "You'll naturally understand why I invited her for a collaboration after you meet her." "Hey, when we came just now, we saw Ms. Daugherty leaving. Did you talk to her already?" Eilam scratched his head. "Did Trent and I arrive late?" "Did you say she came just now?" Duke frowned a little. "We met her downstairs earlier. I was thrown to the floor before I could say anything." Trent scoffed. "I'm going to be doomed if she and I become collaboration partners.” Eilam looked at him with contempt. "Are you afraid of a woman?" The two of them started quarreling. Duke, on the other hand, tapped open the company's surveillance system. He moved the timestamp to half an hour ago. Then, he saw Adina walking into the Winters Corporation building. He called his secretary to his office.

"Go to the reception and ask why Adina left." His secretary immediately took action. Meanwhile, the receptionist was gossiping with her colleague.

"A gorgeous woman came just now. I thought she was a lady from some family, but she instantly said that she wanted to go to the CEO's office. She's just another woman who wants to seduce the CEO with her beauty." While she spoke, the secretary arrived in a hurry. He was just a junior secretary in the CEO's office but because he worked for Duke, the staff in the company dared not offend him. The receptionist immediately went up to him.

"Mr. Wilson, why are you here?"

"Ms. Daugherty came to Winters Corporation half an hour ago. Why did she suddenly leave?" The receptionist's heart skipped a beat, but she still retained her smile.

"Which Ms. Daugherty are you talking about?" "The one who looks stunning. You won't forget her once you've seen her. Mr. Winters and Ms. Daugherty have an appointment for a collaboration, but we still haven't seen Ms. Daugherty until now. What happened?"

"She... She really has an appointment with Mr. Winters?" The receptionist's complexion turned pale.

"I-I asked her to leave..."
