My Mommy’s Brave Heart (Adina and Duke)
Chapter 922

Chapter 922 Mr. Jones was not very surprised by Duke's visit. Half a month ago, Duke had put a stop to Mr. Juan, enabling the Resort Project to be carried out smoothly, and Mr. Jones had heard about it. If Duke and Adina were really divorced, Duke would never have offended the Department of Housing and Urban Development for Adina.

Mr. Jones nodded and indifferently said, "Since everyone is here, let's take a seat."

There were five members from the Jones family and six members from the Winters family. So, a total of eleven people sat down at the round dining table.

Duke was not even thirty yet, but when he sat at the table, the aura that spread from him suppressed Mr. Jones' noble presence. The Jones family had a long history, but their power was not comparable to that of the Winters family.

Mr. Jones looked at Duke and said with a sigh, "People always say that age doesn't define ability. Mr. Winters, you're a good representation of that statement." "Please just call me Duke." Duke humbled himself. "I'm Addy's husband. Grandpa, you don't have to be so polite." Zhenny widened her eyes at the side.

She was the CEO of Jones Corporation, so she had dealt with Winters Corporation before. She had met Duke once at a transnational meeting.

This young man's domineering aura had left a very deep impression on her. Yet, such a decisive and noble CEO just lowered his status before Mr. Jones for Adina.

Did the Internet not say that they were divorced? Why were they so close? No wonder her attempts at messing up the Resort Project had amounted to nothing.

It looked like Duke had been secretly meddling.

Zhenny clenched her fists while she faked a smile and said, "The reporters have been reporting the inside story of Addy and Duke's divorce over the past few months. I really thought you were divorced." Jasmine also added, "Addy, I didn't expect you to be so generous. Duke's having affairs with women outside, yet you can look past it.”

Right after she spoke, Duke glared at her like a knife that cut a layer of her skin. "Jas, apologize!" Mr. Jones said coldly. "The reporters don't understand, so they create rumors, fine. As a family member, how can you take the rumors seriously?" Jasmine gritted her teeth unwillingly. "The video of Adina fighting with the mistress has been released. How could it be a rumor? I brought this up because I wanted to ask Duke whether he's cut ties with the mistress!"

Zhenny curled her lips and nonchalantly said, "Jas is just worried that her cousin will be bullied. That's why she's asking. I think Duke should give us an explanation. You let Addy down some time ago, so the media is making groundless accusations and reporting about your divorce every day. Now that the two of you have reconciled, you should let us know whether you're sincere or fake." Duke leaned back in his chair and chuckled all of a sudden. Adina also chuckled. "Just because I call you Aunt Zhenny, you actually see yourself as my elder?"

Zhenny's expression instantly darkened. "Why? Aren't you planning to acknowledge me as your aunt?"

"Do you deserve it?" Adina mocked her mercilessly. "Forget how you've treated me. Let's just talk about you and Daniel. If you really treat Daniel as your nephew, why would you trouble him repeatedly? For the position of the heir, you disregarded your siblinghood first, then you disregarded your relationship with your nephew. Do you think you're good enough to be our aunt?"

Zhenny's face turned dark red.

She had been in the Jones family for many years. Other than Mr. Jones, no one else had ever dared to openly criticize her like that.

She was furious. Just as she was about to speak, Mr. Jones raised his hand and gestured at her to stop. "It's going to be a new year. Why are you talking about this? Let's enjoy the meal."
