King’s Awakening - Chapter 204
Chapter 204: The Jones Family in Panic!
Translator: 549690339
Sayon, Jones Family mansion.
Noah Weiden’s training base was located in a remote part of the Capital City. It would take him some time to return. Yet, during his absence, the Jones Family found itself in chaos.
Hans Weiden was unreachable, as if he had vanished from the face of the earth. The two old foxes, Antonio Woods and Blake Thomas, were now completely out of their control.
At this point, Will Jones was like an ant on a hot pan, extremely anxious and restless.
He had been counting on Hans Weiden to back him up ever since he left the Jones Group. This included financial support for his new company.
However, now that Hans Weiden had suddenly vanished, the money he had promised Will hadn’t arrived, and the resources he had pledged had completely disappeared.
With payday approaching and his new company needing continuous operation, Will Jones simply didn’t have enough money.
Even worse, despite losing the Sayon market, Sherry Jones had successfully established a new market through several nearby cities and online channels.
Not only had her performance doubled, it was likely to double again.
This left Will Jones with absolutely nothing.
“Mother, you must come up with a plan. Are you truly willing to give half of the company’s shares to that wretched girl, Sherry?” Will Jones couldn’t help but reminisce.
Old Madam Jones’ face darkened at his words, her expression became severe.
She hadn’t expected Hans Weiden to suddenly go missing, and she hadn’t anticipated that Sherry, that damned girl, would be so competent. No matter how many times they attacked, Sherry did not fall, but showed resilience.
Could it be that Sherry’s business talent was truly superior to Will Jones?
At this thought, a hint of hesitation appeared on Old Madam Jones’ face.
However, Amanda, standing beside her, couldn’t help but assert, “Mother, we absolutely cannot give the Jones Family’s shares to outsiders. Sherry is now so close to that rascal, White Mitchell.”
If in the future she gives our Jones Family’s shares to that bastard, wouldn’t our Jones Family fall into the hands of that bastard?
Besides, there’s no end in sight to the issue with the Imperial Group. They could target White Mitchell at any time, and wouldn’t that stir trouble for our Jones family?”
At Amanda’s words, Old Madam Jones completely dismissed her doubts.
No matter what, the Jones family needed to sever connections with White Mitchell as soon as possible. They absolutely could not be drawn into any trouble!
And with this, the Jones family couldn’t give any of their shares to Sherry. It would be best to drive Sherry out of the Jones family entirely.
Old Madam Jones’ eyes hardened, revealing her determination. It was clear she had made up her mind.
“Amanda, you’re right. So, contact Sherry right away and ask her to come back. Tell her I want to see her in person.” Old Madam Jones instructed.
Upon hearing this, Amanda brimmed with joy. She immediately took out her cell phone to call Sherry.
Seeing this, Will Jones hastily said, “Mother, do you have a plan to make that wretched girl back down?”
Hearing his inquiry, Old Madam Jones nodded her head, then said with an icy tone, “The shares of the Jones Group belong to the Jones Family. They must not fall into outsiders’ hands.”
“Get ready to go back and take over the Jones Group. Do you understand?”
This…
Will Jones was taken aback, and could not respond immediately,”Mother, the staff at the Jones Group are now devoted to Sherry. If I go back now, I’m afraid…”
Obviously, Will also knew that even if he returned to the Jones Group now, he wouldn’t have any authority or the employees’ support, causing him to worry.
However, upon hearing these words, Old Madam Jones cast a disappointed look at him and impatiently replied, “What are you afraid of? Are the employees at your new company just window dressing? Isn’t the current retail network of the Jones Group up and running? Can’t your employees take over the operation?”
Swoosh!
Hearing this, Will’s eyes widened with joy, and his face couldn’t help but reveal a look of exultation.
According to Old Madam Jones’ plan, not only could he easily take over the Jones Group, but he could also take over the retail network developed by Sherry over this period of time.
With this, the scale of the Jones Group would be much larger than before, when it was under his control.
Given time, the Jones Group might become a second-tier giant. It wasn’t impossible.
By then, he would be the general manager of a second-tier giant family. No, after Old Madam Jones passes away, he would become the Family Head of a second-tier giant family!
Thinking of this, he said with jubilation, “Mother, you are always one step ahead. Don’t worry, this time, I will do it well. I will definitely make you proud!”
Hearing his words, Old Madam Jones scowled at him. She replied, “Will, for your sake, I’ve put my reputation on the line this time.”
“If you still can’t do it well, I, as a mother, really don’t know how to help you anymore.”
Hearing this, Will patted his chest to reassure Old Madam Jones, “Mother, don’t worry, as long as you can help me get the Jones Group back this time, I won’t let you down.”
Seeing Will’s solemn promise, Old Madam Jones nodded in silence.
Meanwhile, Sherry Jones had received Amanda’s call and quickly left the hospital where she had been staying with Wen Zhihui.
Knowing that the Jones family would give White Mitchell a hard time, Sherry decided not to inform him and secretly went back home alone.
She had expected a usual work report, but never anticipated that as soon as she walked in, Old Madam Jones would demand she immediately give up her position as general manager.
Upon hearing this news, Sherry was shocked into silence. She couldn’t help but question, “Grandma, why is this happening!?”
Before Old Madam Jones could speak, Amanda, standing beside her, sarcastically retorted: “Why? Aren’t there plenty of reasons? Do the orders of the board of directors need to be explained to you?”
“Stop dallying. In a while, our family’s home is going to be taken over by Will. You better vacate the position soon, or else you might attempt to exploit the situation later.”
“You!”
Hearing Amanda’s words, Sherry looked at Old Madam Jones in disbelief, her face a picture of overwhelming grief.
However, Old Madam Jones seemed not to notice. She sternly replied, “This is a decision made by the board of directors. If you want to stay in the Jones Group, you can become the deputy manager.”
“But if you dare to go behind my back, then you can’t even be the deputy manager, you can leave the Jones Group and never return!”
“This is a chance for you, considering that you haven’t caused any major problems recently. Don’t you dare not appreciate it!”
