At the auction!
After ending his phone call and summoning someone, Ethan Herb sat his ass down no more than a dozen meters away from White Mitchell.
Over to the side, Blake Thomas and his son Chris were fanning him and massaging his legs, clearly trying to curry favor with him.
However, this clearly didn’t assuage Ethan’s anger. If he didn’t see White Mitchell get taken down today, he probably wouldn’t let things go.
“Fuck it! Go ahead and swagger around for now. Just wait until my people get here. Let’s see if you have the balls to kneel down and kowtow to me!” Ethan Herb cursed, his eyes never leaving White Mitchell as if afraid he would run away.
On the other hand, White Mitchell remained calm, with no intentions whatsoever of leaving.
Seeing this unfold, Sherry Jones was extremely worried and even considered pulling White Mitchell away from the place.
Just then, from outside the auction, a booming voice suddenly echoed.
“Ethan Herb! Where the fuck is Ethan Herb?!”
The voice was filled with anger. Following that, a middle-aged man with a face burning with rage swiftly appeared on the auction floor.
It was none other than the chairman of the Royal Group, David Herb!
Quite literally, a top-dog in Sayon’s bustling business world.
To put it bluntly, when he sneezed, numerous others fell sick in Sayon.
“Cha… Chairman?”
Ethan Herb, who had been sitting like a boss, instantly felt a chill down his spine when he saw David. He immediately scampered up and looked utterly terrified.
Within the next moment, Ethan Herb rushed over to David Herb with a submissive attitude, trying to flatter him.
“Chairman, why did you come? You could’ve given me a heads-up. I would’ve come to meet you.” Ethan Herb moved close, bending at his waist and showing a face full of enthusiasm.
“You have the audacity to say that? If I didn’t come, I wouldn’t have known that you nearly landed us in a disaster.” David Herb was instantly fuming.
Just as Ethan Herb leaned in, David Herb slapped him mercilessly with his enormous hand.
A loud smacking sound echoed throughout the auction house.
Just hearing the sound, one knew that David Herb did not hold back one bit.
Having been slapped, Ethan saw stars and spun a few times before falling to the floor.
“Co… Cousin, why? Why did you…?” A dazed Ethan Herb stared at David Herb in shock.
At this point, Blake Thomas and the others were frozen in place, too scared to move an inch.
“Fuck off! Don’t try to play kinship with me. It’s been so many generations between you and me. If not for your abilities, I would’ve sent you off to raise pigs in the countryside!
I never expected you to be so ungrateful, even ignoring me completely, and stirring such a massive trouble.
From now on, you’re fired! Get as far away from me as possible! I don’t ever want to see you again!” David Herb roared furiously.
Had he not controlled the people in the company promptly, who knows what kind of disaster would’ve ensued today.
Upon hearing this, Ethan Herb was dumbstruck, he quickly crawled to David
Herb: “Cousin, this can’t be true! You must be joking, right?”
Thump! David Herb immediately kicked Ethan Herb, turning him over. “Joking? Do you think I fucking look like I’m joking?”
After kicking Ethan, David didn’t bother to give him another glance and instead turned his gaze to White Mitchell.
But just as he was about to apologize, White Mitchell and a flustered Sherry Jones slowly approached him.
The moment he saw White Mitchell, David felt his heart skip a beat.
Others couldn’t see it, but David Herb, long used to holding power, could see the extraordinariness of White Mitchell.
Although this man seemed young, every move he made radiated an aura of confidence and impressive energy.
Such confidence and energy, if not blind, must belong to the Mr. Mitchell Amanda spoke of, one who had an extremely clever mind!
With this in mind, David Herb’s demeanor towards White Mitchell immediately became respectful.
“Mr. Mit…” David Herb was about to address the approaching White Mitchell, only to be abruptly interrupted: “Little sister, let’s go.”
Huh?
Sherry Jones looked at White Mitchell bewilderedly, then reluctantly at Blake Thomas: “Brother, what about father’s company?”
White Mitchell gave a light smile: “I think, tomorrow morning, someone will bring the transfer agreement to the Jones Family.”
Hearing this, Sherry Jones gave a bitter smile, how could that be possible?
However, the safety of White Mitchell was the most important thing at the moment, they should get away from this danger zone as soon as possible, as for GH Company’s matters, they could think of a solution slowly.
Just like that, White Mitchell confidently led Sherry Jones away from the auction, with David Herb respectfully watching them leave the whole time.
Once White Mitchell was totally out of sight, only then did a serious look return to David Herb’s face.
“Whoever is the chairman of GH Company, did you all hear what Mr. Mitchell just said clearly!?” David Herb said coldly.
Huh?
Blake Thomas and the others were taken aback, frozen as if turned to stone, barely able to react.
“Cousin, what Mr. Mitchell, isn’t he just a jailbird?” Ethan Herb crawled over again but was kicked away by David Herb once more.
“Ignorant fool! You don’t know who you’ve offended and you dare to blabber, you deserve to be sent home to raise pigs! Get lost! If you dare leak a word of today’s events, I’ll make sure you can’t even raise pigs!” David Herb gritted his teeth in rage.
After hearing these words, Ethan Herb’s heart sank, a gloomy expression immediately took over his face.
Why is this happening? Why was David Herb so respectful towards White Mitchell? Who the hell did I offend?
Ethan Herb was filled with regret and hurriedly began to defend himself:
“Cousin, this isn’t my fault, it’s all because of them, they incited me to do this.
They said that this Chen guy was just a bastard, he’d even been to jail, they told me to teach him a lesson, and I was confused for a moment…
What?!
At those words, Blake Thomas and two others felt a jolt in their hearts, a chill rising from their feet to their skull.
The next moment, all three knelt in front of David Herb.
“Mr. Herb, it’s not like that, we, we…” Blake Thomas and the others begged for mercy, but David Herb responded with a cold laugh.
“Good job! Amazing! You dare to provoke a man that even I, David Herb, would not dare to offend? You are truly remarkable! Ha, ha…”
David Herb’s laughter was like an ice-cold knife, mercilessly stabbing at the hearts of Blake Thomas and the others, making them feel like their world was falling apart.
It’s over, we’re finished…
The three of them slumped to the ground, their faces filled with anguish.
On the other side, after White Mitchell led Sherry Jones out of the hotel, he saw how she had been busy all day, he felt a pang of pity in his heart. So he directly took her back to the hotel to rest.
Returning to the hotel, an anxious Sherry Jones looked at White Mitchell, asking: “Brother, are we really going back to the Jones family tomorrow? But we still haven’t fulfilled their conditions.
White Mitchell softly tousled her hair, saying: “Haven’t you already finished two of them? Perhaps, the Thomas family will hand over father’s company tomorrow.”
Sherry Jones gave a bitter smile, her expression then froze as if she realized something, she looked at White Mitchell confusedly: “Bro, how do you know I’ve completed two conditions?”
