Chapter 215: Antonio Woods and Blake Thomas want to meet White Mitchell?
Translator: 549690339
Sayon, Woods Family.
Just as Sherry Jones was worrying about how to repay a debt of fifty million, her current creditors, Antonio Woods and Blake Thomas, were also worried about how to avoid being targeted by White Mitchell.
After lecturing Will Jones, they had been pondering this issue.
Unfortunately, despite racking their brains, they couldn’t come up with a solution. They paced and fretted, almost desperate enough to cut open their own heads to see if grass was growing inside.
“Thomas, this isn’t working. We’re racking our brains here to no avail because we have no idea what White Mitchell is planning,” Antonio Woods said, with a face full of consternation.
Blake Thomas snorted dismissively at this, “Who doesn’t know that your mother is a woman? What you just said means nothing, why don’t you think of a solution?”
“I…”
Antonio Woods was at a loss for words, dumbfounded by the rebuke. He retorted angrily, “If I knew what White Mitchell was thinking, I wouldn’t be sitting here scratching my head.
You’re so capable, why don’t you go ask him directly what he wants, find out what it would take for him to let our two families off the hook.”
His remark was made in anger, however, when Blake Thomas heard it, it was like a lightbulb moment. His face lit up as though he’d just woken from a dream.
Yes!
Go ask White Mitchell!
If they wanted to know what it would take for White Mitchell to absolve them, why not just go ask him?
What were they still thinking for?
Once reminded, Blake Thomas’ face instantly filled with excitement.
“Hurry, Waylon, bring out anything worthy from our house, anything valuable, all of it. We’re going to visit White Mitchell,” Blake Thomas said excitedly.
Hm?
Antonio Woods was stunned for a moment, wondering if Blake Thomas had lost his mind.
But soon, Antonio Woods also understood and quickly gathered the finest tobacco, liquor and other valuable gifts from his house, left with Blake Thomas.
Next, Antonio Woods and Blake Thomas did everything in their power to secure a meeting with White Mitchell.
“Antonio Woods and Blake Thomas want to see me?”
On the other hand, White Mitchell, who was at home keeping his foster mother company, heard the news but showed little interest in meeting the pair.
“Ignore them,” White Mitchell instructed. He couldn’t be bothered dealing with these two minor tycoons.
If they hadn’t caused trouble for Sherry Jones, they probably wouldn’t even know he existed.
Furthermore, he was well aware of the reason why Antonio Woods and Blake Thomas wanted to meet him – they were simply scared that he would retaliate against them.
As long as he didn’t meet them, they would live in constant fear and anxiety.
Given this, he decided to simply ignore them as a mild punishment serving as a severe warning.
With this thought in mind, White Mitchell instructed his assistant, Beckett, to ensure that no one entertained these two.
Upon receiving the command, Beckett promptly carried out the instructions.
Poor Antonio Woods and Blake Thomas carried gift packages, only to face rejections time and again. Neither Beckett nor Amanda agreed to see them.
They couldn’t hope to see White Mitchell. They hadn’t even caught a glimpse of him.
This caused the two to panic entirely.
“Thomas, it’s over. White Mitchell is indeed angry. Are we going to end up like Hans Weiden?” Antonio Woods pleaded worryingly.
In his view, the vegetative patient from Weiden family was most likely Hans Weiden and given the deep grudges between him and White Mitchell, there was no other possible explanation.
Now that White Mitchell had effortlessly dealt with for Hans Weiden, the small businesses and fortunes of Antonio Woods was less than a trinket to him.
At this point, Blake Thomas was also frantic. Not sure of what to do next but wait for the inevitable.
At this moment, Antonio Woods’s phone rang.
It was a call from his company. Seeing the number, Antonio Woods looked impatient. He answered, “I am busy with an important matter right now!
Leave me out of the trivial stuff at the company!”
The person on the other side of the phone hesitated before stammering, “Mr… Mr. Woods, it’s Miss Sherry Jones, the General Manager of the Jones Group. She wants to arrange a meeting with you tomorrow to discuss the debt issue.
“I… I dare not to decide for you, so….”
Sherry Jones?
Upon hearing this name, a peculiar light flickered in Antonio Woods’ eyes, as if he had come up with an idea. Soon after, a look of joy surfaced on his face.
What a wake-up call!
If he couldn’t meet White Mitchell, meeting Sherry Jones would be a good choice too!
As long as he could please Sherry Jones, in time, he could please White Mitchell through her, couldn’t he?
I’m such a genius!
Antonio Woods slapped his forehead, a joyful expression on his face. He instantly regained his spirit, looking invigorated.
Meanwhile, in his daze, the voice from the other end of the phone hesitated to ask: “Mr… Mr. Woods, if…. if you don’t want to meet, then I can cancel for you….”
Cancel?
Antonio Woods jerked to his senses and barked at the phone: “Cancel, cancel your head! If you dare, I’ll fire you on the spot!
Immediately, arrange the best meeting room, buy the best tea leaves. I’m expecting her tomorrow….
Never mind, just reply to Miss Jones that I will visit her personally tomorrow.”
After some thought, Antonio decided that a personal visit would be more sincere. The voice on the other end seemed taken aback by his response.
The Jones Group was but a small third-tier wealthy family in comparison to the Woods Group, falling much behind them.
Why was Antonio Woods behaving so unusually today?
The person on the phone was at a loss, but he could only obey Antonio’s commands diligently.
Afterwards, Antonio informed Blake Thomas about this news. The two agreed, with great enthusiasm, to visit the Jones Group together the next morning to apologize to Sherry Jones.
No one had ever been so overjoyed about apologizing. If this wasn’t unprecedented, it was certainly rare.
…
On the other side, Sherry Jones was taken aback when she received the responses from the Woods Group and the Thomas Group.
Antonio Woods and Blake Thomas are coming personally?
Sherry felt suspicious, as if there was a catch. Perhaps they knew that the Jones Group couldn’t come up with that amount of cash so quickly, and they were planning to cause a ruckus?
As this idea crossed her mind, Sherry became nervous and her heart pounded erratically.
With this thought in her mind, even when she got home, she was still disturbed. It wasn’t until White Mitchell asked if she had encountered any problems that she came back to reality.
“No…nothing, it’s just that the Woods and Thomas Families are coming to the company tomorrow, and I just have a bad feeling about it,” Sherry replied to White Mitchell.
She didn’t mention what had happened in the Jones Family that afternoon, not wanting to worry White Mitchell.
The Woods and Thomas Families?
Upon hearing this, White Mitchell couldn’t help but laugh and cry. Did Antonio Woods and Blake Thomas plan to please him through Sherry just because they couldn’t meet him personally?
How inventive of these two.
However, they seemed to have made the right bet this time. As long as Sherry was happy, White Mitchell would consider letting them off the hook, at least for now.
Thinking so, White reassured Sherry with a comforting smile, saying, “It’s not a big deal. I believe you can handle it with your capabilities.”
Handle it?
A sour taste filled Sherry’s heart. That was fifty million dollars; not even the entire Jones Group had that much money in the accounts.
Unless the Woods and Thomas Families were willing to give the Jones Group some time, what could she possibly do?
Despite these thoughts, Sherry kept them to herself, not mentioning it to White Mitchell to prevent him from worrying about her.
Sigh….
Sherry sighed deeply and managed to squeeze out a pale smile towards White Mitchell. As she turned around, her face was filled with worry…..
Early next morning, Sherry arrived at the company early to arrange for Antonio Woods and Blake Thomas’ visit.
Just as she finished, she heard Will Jones’s sarcastic voice: “Do you still have the heart to entertain guests? Have you resolved the matter with the Woods and Thomas Families? You only have two days. Aren’t you aware of that?
“Leave the guests to me, and you go mind your business. You won’t be able to pay off that fifty-million-dollar debt anyway. The position of general manager and the shares need to be handed over. It’s just a matter of time, so stop wasting everybody’s time!
Ryan, escort the general manager out. She’d better leave in a hurry!!”
