My Mommy’s Brave Heart (Adina and Duke)
Chapter 74

Chapter 74

No wonder she could make his mother so fearful.

Perhaps it was due to their biological relationship, but he could not hate this woman.

However, once he remembered that the purpose of this woman's return was to mess the Daugherty family up, he could only suppress his good impression of her.

His mom had given him life, so he had to protect her.

When Adina stood on the stage, she could feel a constant sharp gaze on her.

When she looked around, she could only see the crowd. Just as she was about to carefully pinpoint the source, a microphone was pointed at her.

"Ms. Daugherty, we would like to know how your relationship with the Daugherty family is. Can you please share with us?"

The previous incident had caused such a big fuss, and it was not officially over, so the crowd had been curious for a long time.

Adina looked away before she calmly answered, "I'm a daughter of the Daugherty family, and that will never change. The family has transferred 25% of their shares to me, so I'm now the third biggest shareholder of Daugherty Corporation, and I'll participate in the management of the corporation."

As soon as she said that, the hall went into an uproar.

Previously, the Daugherty family and Adina had fought online, so the crowd thought that the Daugherties would remove this daughter from the family.

Unexpectedly, the Daugherty family made a concession and transferred the shares to Adina.

So, was the Daugherty family actually not as vicious as the netizens had imagined?

While the reporters were stunned, Richard and Ethan shielded her. When the reporters did not pay attention, she turned back and left the stage.

Actually, she did not like to attend such occasions. But in order to survive, she had to frequently show up under the spotlight.

About the change of shares in Daugherty Corporation, she had to take the initiative to expose

Otherwise, Dew would conspire with Ruby to make herself look like a kind and innocent lady, That way, the netizens would sympathize with her. However, Adina had already told the netizens about it in advance. The clever netizens would definitely replace out that the shares initially belonged to her.

Then, she would hire ghost writers to lead public opinion, and the other half of the shares in Dew's hands would become a target for online attacks. After Adina attended the press conference, she felt relieved. She was about to go to the resting lounge when a young female secretary walked toward her." Ms. Daugherty, Mr. Xavier asked you to wait for him in the meeting room over that side. He wants to discuss a few details with you."

Adina did not give it too much thought. She just followed the secretary to the other end of the corridor.

Everyone was attending the press conference in the lobby, so there were not many people around. The secretary pushed open the meeting room door before she led Adina inside. "Please have a seat. I'll go and get you a cup of coffee."

The secretary walked to the door, closed the meeting room door, and used her phone to make a call.

"Ms. Daugherty, I've done as you asked..."

She stood in the corner while she made the call, and she did not notice that a four-year-old kid was standing behind her.

George frowned.

The press conference had not ended. When he saw the woman leaving, he also left.

He did not know why he ended up walking there.

He did not even expect to hear what the secretary said.

There was only one big family in Sea City, whose family name was Daugherty. "Ms. Daugherty," whom the secretary referred to on the call should be his mother, Dew. Why did his mom want someone to trick Adina into coming to the meeting room?
