My Mommy’s Brave Heart (Adina and Duke)
Chapter 561

Chapter 561

After Adina spoke, she left the meeting room with Serene.

Once the others left the meeting room, Jasmine could no longer hold her anger back. She raised her hand and threw the documents to the floor.

"Jasmine, you better not go against Ms. Daugherty." Mr. Krisman lit up a cigarette and said, "Not only is she capable, but you also know that she's marrying into the Winters family tomorrow. She'll be Mrs. Winters, so if possible, build a good relationship with her. That's better and more advantageous to you in my opinion."

Jasmine gritted her teeth furiously. "Uncle Benny, you promised my mom that you would kick Adina out. But in the end, I had to lower my status and apologize to her in front of so many i people. I was totally embarrassed! I don't care. Uncle Benny, you have to come up with a way to remove Adina from this project."

Mr. Krisman breathed out some smoke. "She's all the rage now. Sᴇaʀch Thᴇ (ꜰind)ɴʘvel.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

This is not the time to kick her out. Just wait."

Jasmine was livid.

Wait? How long did she still have to wait?

She had visited her grandpa yesterday, and he said that Daniel was planning to compete for the heir position in the Jones

family.

Daniel was the only one who truly descended from the Jones

family. If he was making preparations to be heir, what chance did she have of winning as an outsider?

She had to take charge of this project so that her grandpa would believe that she was more suitable than Daniel to be the heir.

Just as Adina left Elites, she received a call from Mdm. Xavier.

"Addy, you're getting married tomorrow, so you can't stay with the Winters family today," Mdm. Xavier said in a stern tone." According to the tradition in Sea City, the bride and groom mustn't meet the day before their wedding. I'll ask your Uncle Richard to bring you to the Xavier family this instant."

Adina stroked her nose. "That doesn't really matter anymore, right?"

What era was it? Who would still care about that?

"Of course it matters!" Mdm. Xavier insisted. "Back then, I didn't keep an eye on your mother, so she met Aaron the night before her wedding. After your mother married him, she passed away not long after that. In short, you have to listen to me, Addy. I won't allow the same tragedy to happen to you."

Adina remained silent for a few seconds before she pursed her lips and said, "Grandma, I'll go to the Xavier family's mansion now."

Her mother passed away after getting married and giving birth to her. Had her grandma been blaming herself for not following the tradition at that time, thinking that it brought tragedy to her mother?

The elderly tended to believe in such superstitions.

Even though Adina did not believe them, she should still fulfill her grandmother's wish.

Adina gave Duke a call.

After Duke received the call over in the Winters family's mansion, he felt terrible.

Following his prior experience, he would fall asleep only when he held Adina in his arms at night.

But she was not coming back today.

Mrs. Winters walked over and said, "Mdm. Xavier is older, so she's more experienced. The bride and groom really aren't allowed to meet the day before their wedding. It's tradition. It's better for us to follow the traditional customs for the wedding."

Duke nodded.

Although they had been organizing the wedding in a hurry, he wanted everything to be perfect.

He oversaw every single detail.

Mrs. Winters stood at the side and hesitated for a while before she softly said, "Duke, your brother contacted me last night."

Duke's gaze froze. "What did he say?"

"He congratulated you on your marriage. He also said..." Mrs. Winters held her fingers tightly while she stammered. "He also said that he wants to attend the wedding."

Duke clenched his fists. "Mom, please let him know that I won't allow him to step into the wedding venue because he doesn't deserve it."
