Translator: 549690339
Amanda struggled to wrap her head around a strange idea that was beginning to grow.
But soon, Snowden Jones’s words thoroughly extinguished that thought in her mind.
“Mom, what’s so strange about it? October 1st is a holiday, many people get married on this day. But the audacity of White Mitchell to set his wedding on this date, it’s quite a cheek.” Snowden sneered.
“You mean…White Mitchell knew the VIP’s wedding date in advance and deliberately scheduled his own wedding on the same day?” Amanda asked, stunned.
Snowden Jones laughed coldly: “What’s so strange about that? Hasn’t White Mitchell, that presumptuous bastard, been bluffing all this while?
He must have learned about the VIP’s wedding date and purposely arranged his own on the same day, trying to pass off fish eyes for pearls.
If we hadn’t discovered it now, he would probably claim that he is that VIP at that time!
He should take a good look at himself. What does the VIP’s wedding have to do with him?”
Upon hearing this, the Jones family looked as if they finally understood it all. Thankfully, they had already received the invitation; otherwise, they might have fallen for White Mitchell’s deception again.
“Shit! White Mitchell, that goddamn bastard, has absolutely no shame!” Amanda cursed through gritted teeth, having nearly been taken in.
Just then, a tousled Sherry Jones walked into the Jones family home.
“Grandma, where’s the invitation!?” Sherry was desperate for the invitation. The moment she walked in, she asked impatiently.
Seeing this, Snowden Jones snickered, pulling out the invitation slowly but clearly with no intention of handing it over to Sherry. Instead, he scornfully said, “Look at you, you’ve never seen the world. You’re a disgrace to our Jones family!
Alright, have a look, but you have only ten seconds.”
Wait…
Looking at the invitation in Snowden Jones’s hand, Sherry was stunned and took a moment to process.
Is this the VIP’s invitation?
Isn’t it too simple?
Just as she was about to question the authenticity of the invitation, Jacob Bright immediately taunted, “Sherry, I don’t blame you for your naivety, but it’s your fault for causing a scene.
In all of Sayon, who is the fool daring enough to forge the VIP’s wedding invitation?
Stop misjudging our motives with your petty mindset.”
At this moment, Old Madam Jones also urgently urged, “Hurry up, we already got the invitation. It’s time for you to hold up your end of the bargain.
I hope you won’t try any tricks, otherwise, don’t expect us to help White Mitchell!”
While Old Madam Jones was pressing in, a voice from outside broke the calm of the Jones’s living room: “When has White Mitchell ever needed the Jones family’s help?
Are you tired of living now!? Or did you just ignore my words!?”
Bang!
The next moment, the Jones family felt a powerful force coming from the direction of the door, rolling towards them.
Just upon one look, a varying degree of horror showed on the faces of Jones’ family members.
“Sherry! What the hell did you do!? You were the one who asked us to hide this from White Mitchell, and now you bring him here?
What is your intention? Don’t forget, this invitation was hard-earned by our Jacob for the Jones family.
Don’t tell me you don’t believe this, I’ll let Jacob take back this invitation right now!” Snowden angrily stared at Sherry, a scowl of accusation on his face.
Sherry, looking at the scene unleashed, her face showed a grimace of distress, as she turned to look at White Mitchell.
“Brother, why are you here?” Sherry sighed unhappily in her heart. She knew that as long as White Mitchell was unaware of her giving up her shares, it was okay. But once he found out, he would definitely disagree.
Yet, this meant missing the only opportunity to help White Mitchell.
Thinking of this, Sherry’s heart was filled with a myriad of emotions.
At this point, without uttering a word, White Mitchell swiftly moved to shield Sherry behind him.
“Silly girl, it’s just an invitation. I told you that I can get as many as I want. Why would you have to ask them for it? Moreover…” White Mitchell stopped before he finished his sentence.
He wanted to say, moreover, the wedding ceremony was meant for her. She was to be the bride, why would she need an invitation?
But White Mitchell kept these words to himself, it wasn’t time to lay all his cards on the table. He wanted to give Sherry Jones a big surprise.
To make her the most dazzling bride in the whole Sayon.
At this moment, Snowden Jones, standing nearby, bursted out laughing after hearing White Mitchell’s words, “Still talking big when you’re at death’s door!
Don’t forget, Noah Weiden is still waiting for you to atone and take your own life, do you really think you have a chance of surviving?
If it weren’t for that big shot’s sake, Noah Weiden would have probably had you dismembered and thrown into the River Arch to feed the fish!”
At this moment, Old Madam Jones, who had been sitting nearby, knocked on her own walking stick harshly: “Enough, White Mitchell! This world is not about who holds more power, when will you ever get that!?
How long will you keep messing around? Haven’t you harmed our Jones family and Sherry badly enough? Can you give it a rest!?
Those shares of hers were willingly given up, what does it have to do with you!?
If she gives up the shares, our family can obtain the invitation, and it will boost our family’s prestigious image, all of this is for you and Sherry!
Do you think you can solve the Imperial Group problem just by your fists? Dissolve Noah Weiden? Why can’t you understand all our hardship!?”
For me and Sherry’s well-being?
Your hardship?
Upon hearing these words, White Mitchell had a cold smirk at the corner of his mouth, which seemed to be tinged with a hint of mockery.
If there ever came a day that Jones family cared about him and Sherry, the sun might as well rise from the west.
“Brother, just let it go, they’re right, this is the only chance to help you. Even if there’s only a one in ten thousand possibility, I want to give it a try.” Sherry Jones persuaded with a bitter expression.
She couldn’t bear to see White Mitchell provoke so many enemies for her sake. If she could settle this once and for all, she would try no matter the cost.
At this moment, however, White Mitchell looked at her indifferently, and slowly pulled a purple-gold invitation out of his pocket.
This purple-gold invitation was also engraved with a dragon and phoenix pattern.
The only significant difference to the golden invitation was the color and a mysterious symbol.
Only a few people in the entire Dragon Realm knew that it was the symbol of the White War Department, indicating that the protagonist of the wedding was from the White War Department.
The moment she saw the invitation, Sherry Jones was stunned, taking a while to react.
If we talk solely about the material, the texture of this purple-gold invitation seemed better than that of the golden one.
Moreover, the patterns were more delicate. At a glance, the golden invitation seemed inferior.
“I happen to have the invitation you want,” White Mitchell said casually, even going as far as to toss the purple-gold invitation into Old Madam Jones’ hand.
As though what he had thrown wasn’t an invitation, but a nonessential object.
It should be known, the wedding that White Mitchell was preparing had both inner and outer venues.
And this purple-gold invitation was the symbol that allowed entry into the inner venue. If you had a golden invitation, you would only be allowed in the outer venue to get a glimpse from a distance, it wouldn’t even qualify for a seat.
Anyone who could possess a purple-gold invitation was undoubtedly one of the influential and prestigious figures in Sayon, with less than a hundred being issued throughout Sayon.
The Jones family was taken aback at White Mitchell suddenly producing an invitation.
At a glance, the invitation that White Mitchell had brought seemed a lot more high-end than the one Jacob Bright had brought.
Could White Mitchell really have such ability?
Upon opening the invitation, the contents were almost identical to the golden invitation that Jacob Bright brought, the only difference was that an address was added.
This address was a small church near the Sayon business alliance Bund.
Jacob Bright couldn’t help but be curious, he overtook to look at that moment. As soon as he saw the address, a sarcastic look appeared on his face.
He immediately pointed at the golden invitation and said categorically, “Fake! This invitation is 100% fake! No one in the whole of Sayon would dare to reveal the address of the wedding! This is definitely fake!
But it’s forged quite well, almost fooling even me. Well done, White Mitchell, you even dared to forge the wedding invitation of that big shot. You must have grown balls of steel!
Let me tell you, you’re dead. You don’t have to wait for Noah Weiden to kill you, the moment I relay this news to the Royal Group, just wait for their wrath to descend upon you, White Mitchell!”
