Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
White Mitchell was startled for a moment, then anxiously said: “Auntie informed me.’
Auntie?
Sherry Jones was perplexed for a moment, soon revealing an enlightened expression. But quickly, her charming face was lined with an unshakeable shadow of sorrow.
“Brother, daddy’s company is likely taken over by the Royal Group. It’ll be tough to reclaim it now.
Luckily, the people from Royal Group did not pursue the matter today, otherwise, it would be difficult to resolve.
You must not let the Jones family’s people know about this, or they’ll blow this matter out of proportion.” Sherry Jones suggested solemnly.
She continued: “We should not return to the Jones house tomorrow.”
However, walls have ears. Sherry Jones’s biggest concern took place in the Jones family the next morning.
The following morning, everyone in the Jones family stayed at home, none of them went to work.
At this time, the Jones house was enveloped in a cloud of gloom, everyone’s faces were etched with an expression of melancholy despair.
Old Madam Jones, with a stern face, leaned on her cane and said provocatively,
“Snowden? Are you sure about this news? Did Sherry really take that boy to the Thomas family’s auction and offended the people from Royal Group?”
Old Madam Jones trembled as she spoke, as if she was witnessing the end of the world, her face filled with desolation.
The Royal Group, it’s the Royal Group for heaven’s sake!
The supreme entity of Sayon’s business world, even one hundred Jones families added up would not match the power of a single one of their fingers.
Sherry Jones even dared to provoke them with White Mitchell, wasn’t this asking for trouble?
Snowden Jones rushed to answer, “Grandma, this is absolutely true, a friend from the Thomas family told me in person, he was at the auction scene.
He saw with his own eyes how White Mitchell beat up a relative of David Herb, and this incident even alarmed David Herb himself.
VV11dL1:
David Herb was alerted!?
wow!
Old Madam Jones shook and nearly lost her balance. Sweat beads the size of beans trickled down from her forehead.
At over seventy years old, she was so frightened that she couldn’t tell north from south.
If it was just offending the people from Royal Group, it was already upsetting enough, but provoking David Herb himself was equivalent to the end of the world.
For someone like David Herb, never mind the Jones family, even the Bright family and the Cooper family, both of which the Jones family wanted to curry favor with, were nothing but insignificant figures in his presence. What on earth gave White Mitchell the audacity to provoke David Herb?
What should they do now?
If David Herb becomes furious and implicates the Jones family, wouldn’t the entire Jones family have to pay for what White Mitchell did?
“No no no, we can’t let our Jones family be affected. Quick, draft a statement to be published. I want the whole of Sayon to know that we, the Jones family, have absolutely nothing to do with White Mitchell!” Old Madam Jones instructed fervently.
Hearing this, Snowden Jones immediately responded, “Yes, grandma, right now….”
“Hold on!”
At this time, Mori Jones walked out with a frown. The moment Snowden saw her, he felt a burning rage and snapped with disdain, “Auntie, is this really the time to protect him?
Do you know how much trouble this dead bastard has caused for our Jones family? Not only can you not protect him, even if you bring the Cooper family in, you might not be able to save him.
“Given your current status in the Cooper family, do you really think they would jeopardize their relationship with the Royal Group on account of you, a woman without any strong ties to them?”
Mori Jones listened, her beautiful face filled with a gloomy air. Still, she voiced straightforwardly, “Mother, the situation isn’t clear yet, and the Royal Group hasn’t said anything.
Indeed, we might have triggered David Herb yesterday, but, as of now, isn’t everything quiet?
I think we should hear Sherry and White’s side, maybe, this matter isn’t as simple as it seems?”
Old Madam Jones fell silent upon hearing this, but Snowden Jones chimed in with a cold smirk, “Aunt, aren’t you being too naive?
My friend witnessed how White beat up that guy. Even though he didn’t see what happened next, it is a fact that David Herb was there.
Doesn’t that say it all? You’re still defending him. Do you plan to drag our Jones Family into his grave?”
Mori looked worried upon hearing this, but still firmly stated, “That’s only your friend’s side of the story. If things really unfolded as he claimed, would the Royal Group tolerate it till now?
Would you still be standing here complaining? Would our Jones Family have remained unscathed?”
“You!” Snowden was instantly at a loss for words.
“Enough! Call them now! Get Sherry to bring that bastard back home!”
At this moment, Old Madam Jones spoke up, nipping the argument in the bud, and told them to summon Sherry back home.
It wasn’t long before Sherry received the message. She originally planned to try her luck at the Royal Group today. What she didn’t expect was to receive such devastating news so early in the morning.
“Bro, bro, bro, wake up, there’s trouble. Grandma knows about yesterday, Bro, you have to open the door…”
A distraught Sherry hurriedly went to White Mitchell’s room and knocked on his door.
However, despite hearing her frantic recount of the events, White remained calm and unfazed. It was almost as though he was not worried at all.
“Since they want an explanation, I will give them one. Let’s conveniently settle any outstanding issues,” White said languidly.
Seeing White’s nonchalant attitude, Sherry didn’t know what to say anymore.
Soon, White took a flustered Sherry back to their home at the Jones Family.
The atmosphere in the Jones Family’s home was extremely tense at the moment. Upon hearing the sound of the door opening, Snowden rushed out to greet them.
“Well, well, you’re finally back, after causing so much…”
Snowden was cut off as White slapped her hard across her face. She was left stunned by his sudden aggression.
“Bro, how could you…” Sherry was about to speak up when White interjected, know what happened at the company the other day. This slap is for you.” Sherry’s eyes filled with tears.
“White Mitchell!!!” Snowden, her face a picture of disarray, clutched at her cheek while glaring fiercely at White.
White looked back at her, his expression indifferent, “If you dare hit my sister again, I’ll cut off your hand.”
After saying those words, he led Sherry into the Jones family’s home.
Once inside, Sherry immediately felt a sense of oppression lingering in the air.
The people of the Jones Family, headed by Old Madam Jones, stared at them with utter disdain, akin to a criminal being judged.
Sherry felt a chill down her spine at the sight.
“Sherry! Confess now, were you two at the Thomas Family’s auction yesterday, did this bastard…” Stopping mid-sentence, Old Madam Jones reluctantly glanced at White.
She continued grudgingly, “Did he beat up the people from the Royal Group? And provoked David Herb?!
Talk! Tell me in detail everything that happened yesterday! Don’t you dare to withhold the slightest bit!
If you dare to hide even half a word, I promise you, you’ll see Logan’s ashes floating on the River Arch!”
