My Mommy’s Brave Heart (Adina and Duke)
Chapter 560

Chapter 560

She did not expect that things would progress to this point.

"This is what people mean when they say, like mother, like daughter." Adina indifferently smiled. "I can forgive Mdm. Jones, so I naturally can also forgive you. After all, you're still very young."

As soon as she said that, the people's gazes at Jasmine were filled with contempt.

Previously, Zhenny aggressively attended the celebration party of Elites and defamed Adina for plagiarism, but she was actually the person who plagiarized.

Everyone in this room had witnessed that incident personally.

But now, they witnessed a similar incident again.

"You... don't talk nonsense!" Jasmine gritted her teeth and said," I'm not a programmer. Of course, I can't explain this. If I let our Chief Technical Officer present the result, his performance will not be worse than yours." When Adina saw that Jasmine still tried to quibble, she laughed due to anger.

Adina sneered and said, "It looks like I have to let the police get involved and investigate where you obtained the proposal, Miss Yackley."

Jasmine was totally furious.

She wanted to refute and frame Adina, but even after she thought for a while, she still could not replace a way to salvage the situation.

"Enough!" Mr. Krisman frowned and patted the table. "It's just a trivial matter. It doesn't have to be like that."

Adina sat down on her chair and indifferently said, "It truly is a trivial matter. As long as Miss Yackley apologizes, I can let this slide."

Mr. Krisman cast a glance at Jasmine.

It took all of Jasmine's will to hold her fury back. But she clearly knew that if the police got involved, it was very likely that she would have to bear the legal responsibility.

She gritted her teeth and said with an angry expression, "I'm sorry, Miss Daugherty. I was too young and immature. Please forgive me."

Adina's gaze was indifferent and cold, as if she really did not mind that

Mr. Krisman slowly said, "Miss Daugherty, you're very, outstanding, and your expertise in chip design is extraordinary. In this case, the remaining 20% of the module design will also be completed by you." Adina smiled faintly again. "Mr. Krisman, may I know if you've read the contract?"

Mr. Krisman frowned. "What's wrong?"

Was anything he said now related to the contract?

"The contract clearly states that LaStar Technology Corporation and Jones Corporation will take half of the responsibility respectively. We have already exceeded our mandate, so the remaining modules of the project have nothing to do with our company." Adina firmly said that, and her expression was calm and relaxed.

"This is not right, Miss Daugherty." Mr. Krisman's expression darkened, and he said, "Since we're the collaborators, we should help each other. Since you have the ability, you should just shine in this aspect."

"Ha!" Adina chuckled. "I work hard to complete all the work, and Jones Corporation will take half of the profit. Mr. Krisman, do you think I really look like someone whom you can take advantage of?"

Jasmine angrily said, "Adina Daugherty, how can you talk to Mr. Krisman like this?"

Mr. Krisman and her mother were friends, and she usually needed to respectfully address him as Uncle Benny. But Adina actually talked to him in this tone!

Adina quirked her eyebrows. "I'm just stating facts. There's nothing personal here."

She just pulled out the chair, stood up, and indifferently said," Mr. Krisman, if you cancel the collaboration with Jones Corporation, I can complete the remaining 20%. But if Jones Corporation insists on getting a piece of the profit, it's impossible for me to complete the remaining 20% for them."
