My Mommy’s Brave Heart (Adina and Duke)
Chapter 879

Chapter 879 'This b*tch has two scars on her face, but why is she still so beautiful?" "Grandpa, Dad, Aunt Zhenny," Adina greeted everyone in the room. "Adina!" said Daniel "Even I, an illegitimate daughter or "my kind" as you so eloquently put it, know that I must greet my elders and relatives who are older than me when I enter the room. Why doesn't Jasmine seem to know about this?" Adina smiled. "Jasmine has the guidance of Aunt Zhenny, but she is still so improper. If she was left to grow up and fend for herself like me, I wonder what she will turn into."

Zhenny's face turned icy. 'This b*tch turned the same thing I just said on my daughter. Was she listening at the door? What a scheming b*tch!'

"Don't be angry, Aunt Zhenny." Adina smiled sweetly. "Even though Jasmine is ignorant, she is still my cousin. I'll ask her to pay more attention to her etiquette in the future. I will look out for her."

"No one asked you to do that. You're just an illegitimate daughter! You have no right to educate me." Jasmine was angry. "Jas, don't be rude," Mr. Jones said coldly. "You're the young lady of the Yackley family and related to the Jones family. Do you not know proper etiquette?" Jasmine was furious. She knew the etiquettes, of course. She just did not want to greet Adina. But since Mr. Jones had intervened, she had no choice but to obey. Jasmine greeted Adina unwillingly. Adina smiled, "Can we get down to it now?" Jasmine's face brightened. She sneered. "Adina, why don't you explain where you got the funds for the resort project?"

Adina narrowed her eyes. "Why should I explain that to you?"

"You're not explaining it to Jas but to my dad," said Zhenny. "There are two billion funds in the resort's account. Out of two billion, one billion is allocated by the company's finance department. Where did the other one billion come from? The company needs an explanation."

Anger flashed in Adina's eyes. 'Did they call her all the way here just for that?'

The project had not yet been handed over to the company for operation, nor had the investment been reported. However, even if it was not reported yet, it was not that big of a deal. 'Did they need to make a big fuss over such a trivial matter?

"Adina, the petrochemical project's account suddenly lost one billion dollars. Aunt Zhenny suspects that we took it," Daniel said softly. Adina laughed. "Aunt Zhenny, if the public account of your project was transferred without your approval, you should replace your subordinates and hold them accountable. Why do you suspect me?"

"We suddenly lost one billion dollars, and you have an extra one billion dollars unexpectedly. Who else should we suspect if not you?" Jasmine gritted her teeth. "It is a violation of the law to transfer public accounts without permission. Give us back the one billion dollars if you do not want to go to court."

Adina looked at Mr. Jones, "Grandpa, do you also suspect me?" Mr. Jones said indifferently, "The company is already investigating this matter, and there is no outcome yet. It would be best if you can show any evidence that you have nothing to do with this matter." Adina looked at Dillon. "What about you? Do you think it has anything to do with me?" "Addy, I believe you, of course," Dillon said firmly. "I know the kind of a person you are. You will never do such a thing."
