My Mommy’s Brave Heart (Adina and Duke) novel Chapter 550

Chapter 550

"Dillon, you're too naive." Zhenny looked up, and she looked calm. "The business field is filled with lies and deceit. Jones Corporation would have been crushed underfoot without resorting to such underhanded tricks."

Dillon pursed his lips and said coldly, "I have not requested anything from you over these past ten years. This is the first time. Just back out from this project."

"Why?" Zhenny stood up with her eyes narrowed. "Dillon, you are very strange. I've used such tactics against my competitors in the past, and you've always turned a blind eye to it, so why are you yelling at me about this today? Oh, I get it. It's because of Adina, right?"

Jasmine said sadly while biting her lip, "Uncle Dillon, I don’t mind that you yelled at me twice because of Adina. How can you ruin the business of Jones Corporation because of her?"

Dillon’s expression darkened. “Zhenny, just say whether you're backing out of this project or not."

"No way." Zhenny sneered, "I've used a lot of tricks to get Mr. Benny to agree to help me. How could I possibly quit halfway? Moreover, this project will be handed over to Jasmine so that she can get experience, and if she does well, Mr. Jones will make her the next heir of the Jones Corporation if he is happy. In other words, this project is very important to me, Jasmine, and the Jones family, and it cannot be changed because of your selfish desires. Sorry, but no can do."

Dillon’s expression instantly turned unpleasant.

"Dillon, you are defending Adina so much. Could it be...?" Zhenny wriggled her eyebrows. "You have your eyes on Sea City’s number one beauty?"

Jasmine pouted. "Adina is so beautiful. It's not surprising that you have taken a fancy to her. But this woman is getting married. Why is she still out there seducing men?"

"Shut up!"

Dillon picked up the teacup on the coffee table and threw it on the floor.

He was mild-mannered and rarely got angry. He had never said anything harsh to his only niece over the past twenty years, but this time, he started to smash things, which terrified Jasmine to the point she shivered.

"Dillon, you are really losing it." Zhenny said coldly, "Don't meddle in company matters, and I won't say a word about your personal life.”

Dillon was so angry that his chest heaved. He did not hold back and once more smashed another teacup on the floor.

Just because he gave up his position as CEO of Jones Corporation, he could not even protect his daughter.

He regretted it. He absolutely regretted it.

It was not that he lacked the ability to run the company. He just was not interested in managing the company, which was why he handed over the role of CEO to Zhenny.

Dillon fell into his chair and propped his head up.

"Dad, what's wrong? Why did you get into a fight with Aunt Zhenny?"
