Boom!
White Mitchell’s words were like a bolt from the blue to Amanda and her daughter at this moment.
After hearing them, both of them shivered, and then panickedly climbed up from the ground.
Although they felt as if they were falling apart whenever they moved, they dared not dawdle at all at this moment.
They were truly frightened, fearful that White Mitchell would lose his temper and kill them without regard for the consequences.
In their eyes, White Mitchell was not just a harbinger of doom, but a lunatic. The predatory look he had just now was not something a normal person could express.
This was a lunatic, a complete lunatic!
Obviously, those five years in prison did not make White Mitchell repent at all, but rather intensified his audacity.
Thinking of this, Amanda and her daughter dared not look straight into White Mitchell’s eyes, they sheepishly went in front of Sherry Jones, and knelt down on the ground with a thud.
Slap!
Amanda slapped herself in the face. Seeing this, Snowden Jones felt extremely wronged, but with White Mitchell, the doom-bringer, in front of her, she dared not refuse to do the same.
Slap!
Snowden Jones also slapped herself in the face, but at this time, White Mitchell asked casually, “Haven’t you had your meals?”
“You!”
Snowden Jones was indignant, but before she could lift her head, she was immediately pulled down by Amanda next to her.
Amanda quickly advised, “Daughter, calm down, hold your breath!”
Snowden Jones’s eyes were red as she glared at Sherry Jones viciously, then angrily continued to slap her own face.
“Remember this force. Until I say stop, you must continue!” White Mitchell said indifferently without giving a single glance at Amanda and her daughter. He directly walked up to Old Madam Jones with Sherry Jones.
Old Madam Jones’s face was dark. Her old face, dark as a burnt pot bottom, was filled with black soot.
But White Mitchell seemed to completely ignore her rotten face, his voice rang out, “If I want to kill, who in this Jones Family can stop me?”
Faced with White Mitchell’s nearly threatening words, Old Madam Jones remained silent. Her expression darkened even more, making her look extremely awful.
“Damn! How dare he act so recklessly, completely disregarding the consequences,” Old Madam Jones gnashed her teeth in annoyance, and glared at White Mitchell.
At this time, Mori Jones, standing next to her, has recovered from the shock. Seeing his wife and daughter being humiliated, a sense of anger mingled with embarrassment appeared on his face.
“White Mitchell! Don’t think that just because you can fight, you can act recklessly! In this world, things are no longer resolved by fists!
There will always be someone more powerful and competent. Sooner or later, someone will come forward to take you down! Without power and position, your arrogance won’t last long!” Mori Jones glared at White Mitchell and said through gritted teeth.
Hearing these words, White Mitchell glanced indifferently at Mori Jones, “Does someone of your stature even have the right to say these words to me? Get lost!!!”
As soon as his words fell, White Mitchell’s eyes suddenly turned cold, his sharp gaze shot like swords, directly at Mori Jones.
Thump, thump! Mori Jones trembled in his heart, and unconsciously took two steps back, and this was just a mere glance from White Mitchell.
At this moment, Mori Jones’s face turned red with humiliation. It was like he had suffered a great insult and he wished he could tear White Mitchell apart.
But this thought was merely a thought, and was quickly squashed in his mind.
He knew very well that with his physique, he probably wouldn’t even be enough to fill White Mitchell’s teeth. Taking him on would be no different from seeking death.
Thinking of this, Mori Jones felt even more suffocated. He could only put on a show of bravado and stuttered, “You… you…”
But as soon as he opened his mouth, his voice involuntarily trembled. The harsh words hanging on his lips now seemed like slaps that smacked his own face, making a resounding noise.
With a swoosh, Will Jones’ face turned instantly red, as if something were stuck in his throat. He felt as if he was on the verge of throwing up, which made him nearly mad with discomfort.
Upon seeing this, Old Madam Jones gave him a look full of disappointment and resentment. She then turned her frosty gaze onto White Mitchell, asking coldly, “White Mitchell! You have hit people and said your piece, what more do you want now!?”
Hearing her words, White Mitchell responded with a cold laugh. His icy voice was like the Arctic chill, causing people to shiver in fear. “You constantly sought to cause trouble and make demands of Sherry. Now you suddenly ask me what I want?
Your question intrigues me. If it were you in my place, what would you wish to do?!”
Upon hearing this, Old Madam Jones was left speechless. If she were in White Mitchell’s place, the entire Jones Family would have been blown to ashes!
But of course, Old Madam Jones dared not speak these words. Instead, she stubbornly retorted, “What do you mean by ‘we have caused trouble for Sherry’?! White Mitchell! Could you please get the facts straight!? It is you who have messed things up and implicated our Jones Family. And now you are playing the victim? Where is your conscience?
Do you realize the magnitude of the mess Sherry has created? She lost goods worth two hundred million! It’s not just two dollars. Asking her to take responsibility and explain herself to us is not an outrageous demand at all! Is it!?”
Gasps!
Hearing her grandmother’s words, Sherry felt a chill running down her spine. On the verge of crying, Sherry interjected, “Grandma, it was actually you who…”
But before she could lay out the facts, Old Madam Jones had already twisted the truth and spoke up in a self-righteous manner, “What about me? All I did was introduce a client to you!
As a general manager, shouldn’t you have verified the qualifications of your clients? Don’t you bear any responsibility for not checking out the background of my friends?
This is clearly your fault, your failure as a general manager. Yet, you dare to shirk your responsibilities! Is this how you fulfil your duties as a general manager?”
“Grandma! You!!!”
Sherry clenched her teeth tightly, her eyes welled up with tears. Seeing the family lining up against her made her feel utterly hopeless and helpless.
It looked as if the Jones Family was determined to keep the lost goods hidden, ensuring that she could never stand up again.
It would have been okay if she herself suffered the consequences, but she could not allow White Mitchell to be implicated because of her incompetence.
Thinking about all this, the tears in Sherry’s eyes could no longer be held back. They fell onto her cheeks, making them damp immediately.
Then, a warm hand gently touched her cold cheek, giving her a semblance of comfort.
“Brother…” Sherry looked up at White Mitchell. The guilt and remorse in her heart rushed forth like a flood she couldn’t possibly stop.
In the face of her guilt and remorse, White Mitchell showed a gentle smile. He wiped the tears on her cheeks and calmly said, “It’s just goods worth two hundred million. It’s not a big deal. Even if we have lost them, we can always start over.”
White Mitchell could effortlessly make up for goods worth two hundred million, not to mention two hundred million in cash.
“But…” As Sherry was about to speak up, she was interrupted by Old Madam Jones. The old woman burst out laughing, “Just two hundred million! Really, White Mitchell? You surely underestimate the sum! You couldn’t have taken out two hundred million even five years ago, let alone now, after you’ve just been released from prison!
Did prison make a fool of you? Did you lose all your common sense?
Your question, don’t you think it is silly? Even if you worked hard for ten or a hundred lifetimes, you could never earn that kind of money! And you still have the audacity to brag here?!
Let me tell you. Today, either you find me the goods worth two hundred million, or admit your defeat and apologize to Mr. Weiden. Otherwise, I will directly strip Sherry of her position! And either way, you would need to admit your defeat!”
