My Mommy’s Brave Heart (Adina and Duke)
Chapter 455

Chapter 455

Zhenny's ears suddenly buzzed.

When she looked at Adina's design proposal, her mind instantly went blank. She had been in the industry for twenty years. The longer she read Adina's proposal, the more impressed she felt.

Right then, she finally understood why Earley would rather risk offending Jones Corporation by choosing a small and unknown new company. Adina raised her gorgeous face indifferently. "Mdm. Jones, please explain which part I plagiarized."

Zhenny's expression darkened to the maximum level.

Those who defended Zhenny and criticized Adina were instantly speechless. Zhenny clenched her fists before she took a deep breath and said, "Today's incident has been a misunderstanding." "Misunderstanding?" Trent scoffed. "Mdm. Jones, even if it's a misunderstanding, shouldn't you still apologize to Ms. Daugherty?" Zhenny appeared sullen, She had never lowered her head and apologized to anyone in her life before. She really could not lower her status and apologize to a young lady who was just in her early twenties. At this time, her secretary moved forward from the back and respectfully said, "Jones Corporation was negligent, and we made unfounded accusations against Ms. Daugherty without discovering what truly happened. This is our fault. I apologize to you on behalf of Jones Corporation and Mdm. Jones, Ms. Daugherty." Adina twirled her champagne glass. "Isn't Mdm. Jones here? Why do you have to apologize on behalf of her?"

Right after she said that, everyone in the hall gasped.

The Jones family was considered one of the top families in Sea City. When Zhenny was sixteen, Harfard University had accepted her based on special circumstances, and she graduated from Harfard University with a PhD at twenty-two. Then, she taught at Harfard for about six years before she returned to join Jones Corporation and work as an executive

In just three years, she defeated the original heir of the Jones family and became the person in charge of Jones Corporation in this generation.

This woman had become the matriarch of her family when she was 30. She worked like a man, and she was harsh like a man. However, due to her beautiful face, people would often forget that she was no weaker than a man.

The biggest corporation in Sea City was Winters Corporation, and Duke was the man whom everyone admired.

Meanwhile, Zhenny was the woman whom everyone admired in Sea City.

But Adina was actually forcing Zhenny to apologize to her now.

The people in the hall did not know why Adina had the courage to stand up to Zhenny. At the same time, they were very curious about what choice Zhenny would make.

The man with the silver mask turned over a little and stared at Adina's face.

His dark and cold gaze was filled with some curiosity as he smiled with interest.

"Ms. Daugherty," Zhenny said coldly, "you are still a huge suspect until the matter is investigated." Adina nearly laughed out of anger. "So, even if you can't replace any similarities, you still think I stole your design?"

"What else could it be?" Zhenny asked in return. "If I lose my design draft, you'll benefit easily. It's only reasonable for me to suspect you of having something to do with this."

Adina chuckled.

She took another step forward, and her gaze turned slightly menacing. "Mdm. Jones, you have a long-standing reputation in the industry. As a junior, I didn't want to make things too embarrassing for you at first. But since you insist on slandering me, I can only return the favor."
