King’s Awakening - Chapter 277:
Chapter 277: Chapter 277: Sherry Jones’ confession, the Jones family turns against her!
“So, what do you think? Will it make things difficult for you?” Old Madam Jones asked’s insincerely. In reality, she didn’t care whether or not it would pose a difficulty for White Mitchell, as long as it would benefit the Jones Family.
Upon hearing this, White Mitchell gave a faint smile, his face expressing a tranquil and casual attitude.
However, before he could open his mouth to speak, Sherry Jones anxiously said, “Grandma, that belongs to the new real estate project in Nezzi, which our Jones Group has never dealt with. Even if we do undertake it, we don’t have the resources to complete it.”
As soon as these words fell, Old Madam Jones looked at White Mitchell with a fawning expression and immediately said, “Considering who White is now, isn’t dealing with resources just a minor issue?
Just a word from him to the authorities at Nezzi and who should we worry about helping us Jones Family complete this project?
Sherry, you’re underestimating White’s abilities.
Isn’t that right, White?”
Hearing this, the color immediately drained from Sherry’s face, her expression full of difficulty.
She had never expected that the Jones Family would set their sights on the new city of Nezzi.
That was the largest project in the eastern part of Dragon Realm. How could the Jones Family compete with the first-class wealthy families of Sayon who all wanted to take part in it?
Are they going to ask White Mitchell to plead with Commander Turner of Nezzi’s headquarters?
Never mind the fact that Steel Turner’s favors to White Mitchell have already been returned, even if they haven’t, isn’t this just the Jones Family asking for favoritism?
The Jones Family is just a third-tier wealthy family, without financial resources or material reserves. How big a favor do they expect to ask?
If this goes wrong, Steel Turner may feel that White Mitchell is too greedy, and harbor resentment against White.
If Steel Turner has a prejudice against White Mitchell, then dealing with the Weiden Family and the Imperial Group will be even more difficult.
With these thoughts in mind, Sherry Jones bluntly said, “Grandma, stop talking about it. My brother can’t help the Jones Family with this.
Commander Turner of Nezzi only owed my brother a favor, and it was all spent on preparing for our wedding.
He doesn’t owe my brother anything now, so he won’t help the Jones Family secure the Nezzi project. You should stop thinking about it.”
This…
As soon as her words fell, everyone in the Jones Family was stunned into silence. The entire Jones Family quieted down at this moment.
The air seemed to be filled with a strange mood.
The expressions on everyone’s face in the Jones family also gradually became strange.
Old Madam Jones’s face darkened, frowning as she said, “Sherry, such a joke is not to be made casually. Do you know how many eyes are watching you two now?
Let’s not talk about anything else. If the House of Weiden were to find out about this conversation, do you think they would let you two go?
I know I neglected you two in the past and made you suffer grievances, but we’re all family. Can’t you forgive me for that?
Moreover, when our Jones Family prospers, you, as the general manager and shareholder of the Jones Group, will certainly benefit as well! I am thinking for your sake.”
Obviously, Old Madam Jones didn’t quite believe Sherry’s words, thinking that Sherry still held grudges against the Jones Family for past events and was making up lies to fob them off.
However, Old Madam Jones did not expect Sherry to insist seriously, “Grandma, I am not joking with you. What I said is true.
Commander Turner doesn’t owe my brother anything now. You cannot expect him to beg for favors. As for the Nezzi project, we Jones Family can’t handle it, and they won’t give it to us.”
In Sherry’s view, rather than making things difficult for White Mitchell, it’s better to make it clear now, and completely cut off the thoughts of the Jones Family, to avoid them asking White to help them in the future.
Hearing this, the face of Old Madam Jones turned black instantly, as if a dark cloud had enveloped her face and wouldn’t disperse.
Following that, Old Madam Jones, her face stern, turned to White Mitchell and asked in a manner that suggested interrogation, “White Mitchell, you tell me, was what Sherry just said true or not!”
On hearing this, White laughed lightly and retorted, “Does it matter if it’s true or false? Is it that the purpose of you inviting us here today is just to gain some benefits from me?
So now, upon seeing that I am no longer powerful, you are turning against me?
Well … let me tell you, Sherry will definitely participate in the Nezzi New Town project. However, she will be participating under her own name and Jones Family ought to forget about getting any benefits!”
Originally, if the Jones Family had been honest, White Mitchell wouldn’t have minded letting them benefit. However, the voracity of the Jones Family was so displeasing, it would be better to give this benefit to Sherry Jones.
The moment these words were spoken, Old Madam Jones’s face turned red as if slapped, and her expression became uglier.
To her, White Mitchell had undoubtedly confirmed what Sherry Jones just said, he was clearly pretending to be tough while on his last leg.
At this juncture, the goodwill White Mitchell owed to the Nezzi Command would certainly have been exhausted!
This damned bastard, he actually squandered such an important favor on a wedding?
That’s simply foolish in the extreme!
Had he given this favor to the Jones family, wouldn’t they have been able to hold any kind of wedding once they grew stronger?
Now, for the sake of a futile wedding, he’s run out of favors. What does he have now to please the Nezzi Command?
Not only this, all of Jones Family’s plans have been ruined by that damned White Mitchell.
Infuriating! Infuriating! Infuriating!
Old Madam Jones was so angry that her face turned red, and her teeth clattered.
At this moment, hearing these comments from the side, Amanda scowled and retorted bitterly, “White Mitchell! How dare you come here accusing us, the Jones Family, of profiteering?
If we had known that your backing wouldn’t work, do you think you would be here talking with us now?
You are unbelievably stupid, you actually used such a major favor to arrange your wedding? Calling you stupid is an understatement, you’re just an imbecile!”
Somewhere else, Snowden Jones sneered,”Heh… White Mitchell, are you really dumb or just pretending to be? Given Noah Weiden’s status, do you think he wouldn’t be able to dig up your connections with the Nezzi Command?
Wait until Noah Weiden finds out that you’ve exhausted all your goodwill at the Nezzi Command, you just wait for your downfall!”
Seeing Amanda and her mother suddenly turn against White Mitchell, Sherry Jones couldn’t bear to watch any longer. She immediately spoke up to defend White Mitchell, “Enough! Stop talking about my brother like that!
This favor was his, not Jones Family’s, it’s his call how to use it, and Jones Family has no right to interfere!”
“You shameless creature! How dare you defend him at this point! Do you know how big an opportunity he cost the Jones Family!?” Old Madam Jones couldn’t help scolding, her voice filled with rage.
At this moment, it felt as though her heart was bleeding.
The Nezzi Command, that was the ultimate authority in the eastern part of Dragon Realm, just one more step, just one more step and the Jones family could have taken a ride on this behemoth.
Now Mitchell did a good job, he traded his favor from them for a superficial wedding. The Jones family didn’t profit in the slightest.
Having sheltered him for so many years, the Jones Family could have done better by raising a dog!
Thinking of this, Old Madam Jones could not help but blurt out, “Sherry Jones! Hand over the shares now, from today on, I don’t want the Jones Group to have anything more to do with you!
If you dare not to comply, I will sell off all the shares I hold! We might as well part ways!
But you think about it, if Jones Group goes under, can you forgive yourself for failings towards your deceased father!
Sebastian, Snowden! Immediately draw up a share transfer agreement! She has to sign it today, whether she agrees or not!”
