Chapter 11
Adina was absolutely certain that the man they met was Duke Winters.
But why did he deny it? She recalled everything that had happened a moment ago, and her expression turned dark.
Did Duke Winters think that she used Melody to approach him? Could he be any more narcissistic? Adina rolled her eyes in an extremely unlady-like fashion.
Then, she looked down at her daughter, only to notice that Mel’s eyes were still fixed on Duke’s car.
"Mel, do you know him?" she asked with surprise.
But her daughter did not give her any response.It was only when the car vanished that Mel looked away and hugged Adina’s neck.
Adina checked the driver’s hand and said guiltily, "I’m sorry.When Mel gets worked up, she sometimes bites.I’ll bring you to the hospital to get it treated…"
The driver waved his hand in dismissal and said, "It’s normal for children to bite people.My son often bites me too.This is nothing.Miss Adina, you should get back into the car."
Adina sighed.She had been trying to correct Melody’s habits, but it didn’t seem to be working.
They went on their way, and soon, they stopped in front of Xavier Corporation.
Adina brought her children to the waiting room and asked Alden to take good care of his sister before she went to the office.
The person who was going to help her upload the chip’s program into the main product system was her cousin, Ethan Xavier.
He had gone to study abroad when he was eight and only returned to the country once every year.
Before everything, Adina had not known him.But she had to admit, he was really amazing.
Otherwise, it would have been impossible for him to stand out among the dozens of younger members of the Xavier family.
"Addy, let me take a look at the code of your chip."
Ethan went straight to business the moment they saw each other and started talking about work.
Adina did not delay things either.She sat down in front of the computer and started typing away on the keyboard.
Soon, a whole page of code appeared on the screen.
Ethan had also majored in programming, so when he saw the string of code on the screen, he was stunned.
His cousin had used the simplest programming language of all to write the most complicated code he had ever seen! If they inserted chips written in it into their products, Xavier Corporation’s products would surely rise to the top of the IoT market.
It was no wonder why his father had been in such a hurry to sign the contract.
"Ethan, I’ve already uploaded the optimized code into the system.You just need to connect it to your internal…"
Adina gave Ethan the instructions in an organized fashion without missing out on the tiniest of details.
Ethan stared at her with admiration.
"If we succeed in launching these products, you’ll be one of our greatest contributors."
Adina smiled and said, "It’s because you and Uncle Richard are willing to trust me that this chip is able to be put to use, no?"
Ethan shook his head.He was sure that plenty of companies had contacted Adina before them.If she hadn’t approached them, the Wilheim family, Lorde family, and countless others would fight tooth and nail to work with her.
