My Mommy’s Brave Heart (Adina and Duke)
Chapter 865

Chapter 865

Daniel was afraid that Adina would discover the truth, so he tried to hang up. Adina stopped him.

"Daniel, did the finance department reject your fund request?" Adina asked.

Daniel kept quiet. He did not want to upset her with the Jones family's dirty tricks.

"If Jones Corporation can only release $ 1,000,000,000, it will be their loss." Adina smiled." Pass iny message to Graham, will you? He doesn't have to waste time replaceing investors anymore. Someone is willing to make up for the shortage in the investment funds."

Daniel was stunned. "We lack more than $1,000,000,000 for the investment funds." Finding investment funds was always the hardest job.

Adina chuckled. "Just do it. Don't worry so much about the investment funds. I'll go to the site and see the progress after a couple of days." She hung up

Daniel had not recovered from the news. It took him some time to remember to call Graham.

Adina casually placed her phone on the table She then wrapped her arms around Duke's neck." Hubby, are you interested in the resort project?" Duke fell for it the moment stie called him 'hubby' with that flirty voice. He wrapped his arm around her. "Why? Do you want me to invest in it?"

"I'll give you a chance to treat me well." Adina laughed. He knew her so well. "Do you want to please your wife?"

In fact, she wanted to invest her own money. But if Zhenny where to replace that the massive sum came from her companies, Zhenny would mock her.

Since this was a competition, Adina wanted to win it fair and square. That was only partly true. She was tempting Dule to invest in it.

"$2,000,000,000 is not sufficient for the resort project."

"The succession contest lasts for a month, so we only require $2,000,000,000 for this month," said Adina. "After the campaign is over, Daniel has to handle the project all by himself. He will have to figure out how to gain the remaining investment funds."

Daniel was in his early twenties. He was not a child anymore. He had trained with Adina for a month, he should be capable of stabilizing the entire situation by now.

"Okay. I'll ask Jake to go to the site with the funds tomorrow."

Adina planted a kiss on his forehead. "Hubby, you're awesome! Don't worry, you'll certainly receive three times the return on investment in three years."

Duke leaned down and kissed her passionately. "What if I want my return now?" Adina knew what he had in mind. She had no intention of refusing him, but she was worried.' Accidents' had happened when she had been with him in recent months.

Perhaps Duke noticed her hesitation because he kissed her softly and loosened his arms around her. Adina settled back on the couch with her book, relieved.

She had asked Flint to replace some information for her. She wondered when he would respond

Just then, someone knocked on the study room door. Mr. Brown said respectfully, "Mr. Dillon is here for a visit."

Dillon waited downstairs. He looked restless.

Despite Adina's efforts to convince him that her relationship with Duke was good, he often read about their possible breakup in the news and got agitated about it. As Adina's father, Dillon had always worried about her.

Besides, this was his first time visiting the Winters family. When Dillon heard the footsteps, he sat upright and tidied his collar. Duke was even more nervous to meet him.
