Chapter 800

He was speaking halfway when he abruptly stopped. Would Adina view liking calligraphy paintings as
a useless hobby? Would it cause Addy to dislike him? He paused for a moment before he changed the
topic, saying, “I like looking into the calligraphy painting market.A few years ago, I gathered a collection
of antique calligraphy paintings and managed to sell them about a month ago.I earned back a net profit
of three times the original price.”

That money was then used to help boost the viewership count and get Addy onto the news.

“Then, can you paint, Grandpa Dillon?” Harold asked, blinking his eyes.

“I really like painting.Can you teach me?"

“You really like painting?” Dillon's eyes lit up.

“After we finish lunch, you can paint something for me, okay?” Harold proudly lifted his chin.

“Of course, I can! I even got first place in my preschool’s painting competition !” George and Alden weir
smart and outstanding ones, so no one really paid any mind to his drawing ability.

After all, compared to what George, Alden, and Mel could do, his painting skill was counted as…
nothing.

Dillon was very happy.He had enjoyed painting when he was younger.
traditional illustrations were sold overseas.

But after he settled down, he lost the motivationless life he once had, as well as his inspiration to
paint.So he began to collect calligraphy paintings instead.



He had thought about training Daniel to paint, but Daniel was not interested in painting at all, so he
ended up dropping the subject.

To think that one of his grandsons would inherit his talent for painting Once lunch had ended, Dillon
could not wait to set up the painting instruments and watched Harold as he painted.

George knew that Harold enjoyed painting, but he did not know what level his brother’s painting ability
was at.So he, too, stood on the side to watch.

Alden and Melody sat on some stools to the side and read books.

While looking at this scene, Adina's lips formed a gentle smile.

She took advantage of the break to go to the washroom.When she was done using the washroom, and
as she was washing her hands, she heard the servants whispering softly outside the corridor.

“The guest today is Ms.Daugherty.I heard it’s she’s Mr.Jones’ illegitimate daughter.”

“Mr.Jones is such an upstanding character , how did he end up with an illegitimate daughter?”

“Ms.Daugherty is older than Young Master Daniel by a few years.It must have been from before
Mr.Jones got married that she was conceived, and he didn't know that she grew up with the Daugherty
family.”

“We won’t be able to scrutinize what happened over twenty years ago clearly, so let's talk about more
recent events.”

“The successor for Jones Corporation, they've already decided on Ms.Yackley, right? Do any of you
know why?”



"The young master has his reasons for pulling out of the succession contest.The other day, I went to
Mdm.Jones' study to tidy up, and I heard her and Ms.Yackley talking about it.I think Ms.Yackley
managed to find dirt on Ms.Daugherty, and if Young Master Daniel didn't pull out of the succession, she
would drag Ms.Daugherty's name through the mud."

"Young Master Daniel cares so much about his illegitimate sister? That can’t be it, right?”

“She’s his half-sister from the same father, there's no way he won't care.Moreover , Young Master
Daniel had no chance of winning the succession , to begin with, so pulling out from the contest will
actually help him preserve his dignity." Adina remained silent.

The servants were always highly interested in gossiping about the Jones family’s affairs…

…Until a figure suddenly appeared in the corridor.

Everyone suddenly became quiet, as though someone was choking them, and their eyes were wide in
alarm.

Adina rubbed her wet hands together and walked past them expressionlessly.

When her figure disappeared from the corridor, everyone blew a heavy breath of relief.

They did not dare talk to continue on with their mindless chatter, and all of them hurried back to work.
