Chapter 549

"Ms. Adina, something happened to the Elites project."

Serene's voice could be heard from the other end of the line. A trace of exhaustion layered it.

Adina knew that Serene would never call her for any minor issues.

"What happened? Explain slowly, relax," she said calmly.

"Last week, the president of Elitos, who was based in Sea City, was replaced, and the new president, Benny Krisman, is closely connected to the Jones Corporation. As a result, he added Mdm. Jones of the Jones Corporation as one of the project's primary chip designers. She will work with our company to complete the chip programming and design."

Adina's eyes narrowed. "The Jones?"

"Yes, it's the Jones," Serene said through gritted teeth. "Zhenny Jones's name and your name, Ms. Adina, are both listed side by side on the project column. Elites decided to redraft the partnership contract. Ms. Adina, they kept backtracking on their agreements. We can demand compensation from them for breaching the contract."

Adina's lips curled into a smirk, "Jones Corporation is determined to get a share of the pie, or else there won't be a clear breach of the contract. If we decide to sue Elites for contract violations, then LaStar Technology Corporation will be the one getting kicked out of the project in the end. Our

company has finished up to eighty percent of the chip's design framework. If we're out of the game at this point, won't we be handing the prize over to them?"

"What do you mean by that, Ms. Adina?"

"Agree with the collaboration and sign the contract. I have my own plans for the future."

After hanging up the phone, the smile on Adina's lips did not falter. She looked at Dillon, who was sitting across from her and lightly said, "You must've heard that, Mr. Jones. I'm looking forward to our future as business partners."

Dillon's expression dropped.

He had just only learned about the conflict between Zhenny and Addy after meeting up with the kids yesterday. He demanded a background check, which was how he learned about the whole Elites incident.

That incident was a big deal, and Zhenny was to blame, no matter how you looked at it.

He did not even get the chance to apologize to Addy on behalf of Zhenny, and much to his surprise, Zhenny did something like that again.

"Ms. Daugherty, I will provide an explanation to you on behalf of the Jones family," Dillon turned and left the bridal store after dropping those words.

Duke circled his arms around the woman's waist and asked in a husky voice, "Do you need my help?"

Adina responded, shaking her head, "I can solve this minor issue

on my own."

Even though the Jones Corporation was a huge organization, they would not necessarily prevail if they ever faced off in a business setting.

The Jones family's home was located in the heart of the city.

The mansion that spanned over a thousand square meters was quiet amid the chaos. It had a classy and elegant decorated interior, with a courtyard surrounded by lush greenery. Zhenny was enjoying tea while relaxing in the yard.

"Mom, you're really amazing." Jasmine said smugly, "Isn't Adina just flaunting her subpar skills out there? She is nothing as long as you're in charge, Mom."

Zhenny chuckled and said, "I've known Mr. Krisman for over ten years, and he promised me he'd replace a way to get Adina out of this project. I'll make arrangements for you to be the person in charge once she's out of the way. I'm paving the way for you, Jas. Likewise, I hope you'll live up to my expectations."

As soon as she finished speaking, someone entered the yard from the entrance.

"Zhenny, don't you feel bad for using such despicable means to eliminate a small business from the competition? Do you still have any conscience left?" Dillon said coldly.
