“This…”
As White Mitchell asked, Old Madam Jones seemed a little hesitant, silently looking at Jacob Bright: “Jacob, how do you see this situation?”
Obviously, the old lady wasn’t actually hesitating, but was trying to give Jacob Bright face, reflecting the importance of him to the Jones Family.
Jacob sat there aloofly, pretending to say, “I think, this brother is so confident, these conditions are obviously not worthy of him.
Since he wants to gamble, this level of difficulty is certainly not enough. I suggest changing the timeframe from one month to one week. If he fails, he and his companion should kneel before Snowden and apologize.
I believe, for him, this should pose no difficulty, right?”
After Jacob finished speaking, he looked at White Mitchell with interest, as if he was preparing to see him eat humble pie.
“One week? Need to kneel if we fail? What a joke! Brother, we won’t agree!” It was clear to Sherry Jones that Jacob was just intentionally making it difficult for White Mitchell.
At this point, Mori Jones also couldn’t take it anymore and spoke: “Mom, one month is already a tall order, this one week is basically pushing people onto a desperate path!”
Hearing this, Snowden Jones sneered, “Little aunt, how is Jacob ‘forcing’ anything? He was the one who boasted first, so, has he chickened out now?” “You!” Mori Jones was so angry she was left speechless.
At this time, Old Madam Jones forcefully tapped the floor, “Alright, alright, if he doesn’t want to take up the challenge, let’s drop the matter and no longer mention it. Let’s discuss Sherry returning to the company another time…”
“Hold on!”
White Mitchell’s voice rang out, directly interrupting the old lady’s words.
“What more do you want to mess with!?” Old Madam Jones said disgustedly.
White Mitchell looked indifferent, slowly saying, “Who said I won’t take the challenge? One week it is. And never mind three conditions, even thirty conditions pose no problem for Sherry’s abilities.
I hope you all can keep your promise, or else, don’t blame me for falling out with you!” wow!
With these words, the entire room once again fell silent.
Immediately after, not two seconds later, the whole Jones family burst into derisive laughter.
Snowden Jones and the others cast looks at White Mitchell as if he were an idiot. Their laughter was filled with an air of mockery.
“Oh my, I’m dying of laughter, I’ve seen those who brag, but never have I seen someone who can boast like you, really, you should go and learn crosstalk comedy, you might even outshine those comedians.” Jacob held his belly laughing.
“As broke as you are, just came out of jail, and yet you dare to boast like this? Could it be that you went mad in prison?” Amanda sneered.
“Grandma, since he’s so confident, then let him be. If he fails to fulfill the conditions, it’s his face that will be lost. I wonder, will his face be swollen then?” Snowden Jones sarcastically said.
Old Madam Jones looked disgruntled, immediately took out a bank card, and decided, “Alright, we the Jones family will take up this bet!
If you two fail to meet the conditions, then Sherry, you won’t return to the company anymore. Also, White Mitchell will have to kneel down before Snowden and apologize!
One week it is. We won’t bully you, we start counting from tomorrow.”
White Mitchell shook his head silently, then reached out for the bank card on the table, taking Sherry Jones’s hand: “No need. We won’t take any advantage from you, to avoid you vilifying us later.”
Leaving these words behind, White Mitchell took the bitter-faced Sherry and swaggered out of Jones Manor.
“Ah…” Mori sighed helplessly as she watched. In her opinion, White Mitchell was good in all aspects, except that he couldn’t control his mouth. He was too young and impulsive.
“Hmph! Not to mention a week, even if we gave him ten years, he wouldn’t be able to meet these three conditions.” Snowden Jones sneered, and immediately walked over to Old Madam Jones and whispered something in her ear.
Upon hearing this, Old Madam Jones nodded, then turned to Mori Jones with an indifferent expression. “Mori, keep in mind that your primary task now is to gain the approval of the Cooper family. As for the problems of that brat and bastard, I’ll not allow you to meddle. Even if you help them accomplish their tasks, it will not be recognized by the Jones family. Do you understand?”
Mori tightened her lips and didn’t say a word before quietly retreating back to her room.
Upon seeing this, Snowden Jones sneered chillingly, snarling in a menacing tone, “Wants to return to the company? There will be no door nor window. I’m just waiting for him to bow to me in apology!”
On the other hand, after leaving the Jones’ residence with White Mitchell, Sherry Jones’s pent-up emotions finally exploded, making her sob uncontrollably.
“Why did you agree to their requirements? They clearly want to make you kneel and apologize, they’re obviously bullying you! Why are you so stupid, sob, sob…” Sherry Jones squatted by the roadside, buried her head in her chest, and cried hysterically.
White Mitchell slowly helped her up and took out a lollipop he’d carried around. “I’m not afraid of their bullying. I’m just afraid that you won’t trust me.”
Sherry Jones stopped crying and shook her head. “Brother, I understand that you’re just trying to help me, but I can’t stand them bullying you.”
“Silly girl, as long as it can make you happy, I can do anything. And besides, the three conditions they set really don’t matter to me. Aren’t you helping me too? You are the main force, I’m just lending a hand.”
White Mitchell comforted. Upon hearing his reassurances and seeing him holding the sweet, silly lollipop, Sherry Jones’s feelings calmed down somewhat.
“Brother, don’t worry. I’ll definitely work hard so as not to hold you back.” Sherry Jones stopped sobbing and promised seriously.
“Silly girl.” White Mitchell tenderly pinched Sherry Jones’s cute little nose, then happily took her hand.
At first, she didn’t think anything of it, but after their intimate actions, when White Mitchell took her hand, her cheeks turned instantly red.
“Brother, I… I’m already grown up…” Sherry Jones said in a soft voice, head down.
Startled, White Mitchell almost fell. He was flustered and didn’t look back, pretended as if nothing happened, and walked slowly towards the hotel.
After returning to the hotel, White Mitchell made Sherry Jones comfortable and soon received a call from Beckett.
Beckett wanted to thank White Mitchell for his help, so he invited him and Kylin over for a meal.
White Mitchell had plans to arrange some matters, so he agreed without hesitation.
However, he didn’t bring Sherry along. After all, there were things that she couldn’t know yet, or else it would cause her unnecessary troubles.
While White Mitchell was on his way to Beckett’s house, Ivan, whose legs were immobilized by plaster casts, was yelling angrily in a high-end private hospital in Sayon.
“Adam, you have to get justice for me. The doctor said that my legs are ruined and that I have to use a wheelchair for the rest of my life. You have to avenge me. I want that Mr. Chen and that Mr. Zhong to die miserably, to die miserably!” Ivan exclaimed indignantly.
At the same time, a fierce looking man and the dozens of men he brought with him were standing next to Ivan’s hospital bed.
His name was Adam, Longman Jack’s younger brother. He was a well-known character in the World of Martial.
He was also the sworn brother to Ivan, and he often helped Ivan do his dirty work.
“Does anyone of you know where that Mr. Chen lives?” Adam asked coldly, but all of his men seemed rather clueless.
“Waste!” Adam said coldly. At this moment, Ivan, who was lying on the bed, turned towards Ezekiel whom he had called over. “Ezekiel! You must know where Beckett’s house is, right?”
Ezekiel, whose name was called out, shivered and walked out trembling, “1…1 know.”
“Good, later you will lead the way, take Adam and his brothers, go find Beckett, bring everyone in his household to me. As long they are in our hands, I don’t believe White Mitchell would dare not to show up!” Ivan said ferociously, his eyes filled with rage..
