Whoosh!

Upon hearing these words, Sherry Jones’s delicate frame shuddered and she involuntarily retreated two steps, looking at Old Madam Jones in disbelief.

At this moment, Mori Jones, who had been silent all this time, couldn’t help but interject: “Mother, this is an apology and compensation for Sherry from the Woods Family and the Thomas Family. How can it belong to our Jones Family?

Even if our Jones Family wanted to claim it as our own, we should at least get Sherry’s consent, shouldn’t we?

Can you really be at peace with your conscience doing this?”

Old Madam Jones’s face darkened, and she said imperiously: “You impudent girl, what are you accusing me of? Are you saying I’m robbing Sherry of her possessions?”

Having said that, Old Madam Jones forced a grave expression onto her face and turned to look at Sherry Jones.

“Sherry, you should understand that what I’m doing is not taking anything away from you, but merely holding it for you temporarily. Besides, we’re all family, and it’s only right that we help each other.

You’re still young and inexperienced when it comes to business matters. You lack the necessary expertise, so your uncle and his family should assist you more.

The Woods Family and Thomas Family’s companies aren’t child’s play and can tolerate no sloppiness. Grandma is worried that you won’t be able to handle them. Do you understand what I’m saying?” Old Madam Jones informed Sherry Jones earnestly.

Sherry Jones just frowned, staying silent, clearly unwilling to accept Old Madam Jones’s explanation.

At this moment, Snowden Jones took the chance to interject: “One must know their own limitations. If one’s head isn’t big, they shouldn’t wear a large hat. Look at the scope of the Woods Family and the Thomas Family. Can you handle them?

Moreover, don’t forget, these issues with the Woods Family and Thomas Family were not resolved by you alone. If it wasn’t for Hans Weiden’s support, do you think you and White Mitchell would have been able to handle them?

Do you think we sincerely want to help you if it wasn’t for Old Madam’s orders? Isn’t it just because we’re worried you’ll mess it up and damage our family’s reputation?”

Snowden Jones put on an airs of superiority, as if she were genuinely concerned for Sherry Jones.

All the while, Mori Jones, upon hearing these words, instantly darkened her expression.

As the person who most clearly understood White Mitchell’s capabilities in the Jones Family, Mori Jones knew full well that the issues with the Woods Family and Thomas Family were not resolved by Hans Weiden.

It was all due to White Mitchell’s efforts.

Including the eleven million dollars of debt that Longman had previously waived for the Jones family and the new pipeline suppliers for the Jones family, it was all thanks to White Mitchell’s efforts.

However, at this moment, Old Madam Jones and the others were attributing all the credit to Hans Weiden.

That couldn’t stop Mori Jones feeling a sense of injustice for White Mitchell.

At this point, she was itching to explain everything on behalf of White Mitchell, to tell everyone in the Jones Family just how much he had helped them.

But when she cast an inquiring glance at White Mitchell, he shook his head at her and revealed a resigned, indifferent expression.

This… sigh…

Mori Jones looked away, feeling indignant for White Mitchell.

But she also knew that with White Mitchell’s current stature, these small credits were probably of little value to him.

Regardless, Mori Jones felt wronged on behalf of White Mitchell. The Jones Family was not only blind, but they also appeared to have lost their conscience!

On the other side, after listening to Snowden Jones’s words, Old Madam Jones quickly revealed a look of great approval, clearly in agreement with her words.

Subsequently, her gaze returned to Sherry Jones, continuing: “Sherry, Snowden is right, you still need to gain more experience.

When the time is right, I will surely return everything to you. Be at ease, let’s decide on this matter with the Woods Family and Thomas Family for now.”

Upon hearing this, Sherry Jones knitted her brows even tighter.

Old Madam Jones, of course, saw Sherry’s expression clearly and understood her feelings well. Nevertheless, she chose to ignore it as if she had seen nothing.

She felt that Sherry’s heart was not entirely dedicated to the Jones Family.

If the Woods and Thomas Families’ companies fell into Sherry’s hands, she couldn’t guarantee that they would remain with the Jones Family forever.

Therefore, no matter what, she must make sure the two companies stay within the Jones Family’s grasp, even if it means stealing or grabbing them forcefully.

At this moment, White Mitchell, who had been silent all along, quietly came to Sherry’s side and comforted her casually: “Silly girl, don’t worry. What’s yours, nobody can take away.”

Upon hearing these words, Sherry looked back at White with affectionate eyes and a warm smile bloomed on her pretty face.

For her, as long as the Woods and Thomas families deliberately stopped targeting White, she would be content.

Having realized this, Sherry’s emotions softened considerably.

However, she was unaware that after White comforted her, a glimmer of coldness flashed in his eyes that was not easily detectable.

After seeing that Sherry had stopped speaking, the mood of the Jones family members lightened and they began to rejoice.

A rare satisfied smile appeared on Old Madam Jones’ face, as radiant as a blooming chrysanthemum, aimed at Sherry.

“Sherry, it’s truly fulfilling for my old heart to see you being so sensible,” Old Madam Jones pretentiously said, her words even containing a hint of flattering Sherry.

This made Sherry feel somewhat uneasy. It seemed like Old Madam Jones still had something she wanted to say.

As expected, not long after, Old Madam Jones continued to say, “Sherry, you should stop worrying about the company for now. Your most important task at the moment is to express your gratitude to Mr. Weiden.

You must know, if it weren’t for Mr. Weiden’s contribution behind the scenes, the Woods and Thomas families would never have bowed their heads to the Jones Family, let alone handing their companies to us willingly.

Therefore, both morally and emotionally, you should express your gratitude to Mr. Weiden. Don’t forget your manners, understand?”

It was clear that the Jones Family thought that the reason the Woods and Thomas families bowed to Sherry was entirely due to Mr. Hans Weiden’s efforts behind the scene.

Upon hearing these words, Sherry instinctively recalled the events from that night and defiantly responded, “Grandma, this time, I won’t have dinner with him again, drop the idea!”

This…

On hearing this, Old Madam Jones’ smile ceased. Seeming to realize something, she quickly asked, “What happened that night?”

Sherry bit her lip, glanced at Old Madam Jones and the others, but still couldn’t bring herself to mention how White had beaten up Hans Weiden.

If the Jones Family knew what had happened that night, White Mitchell might be in trouble for sure!

However, facing Old Madam Jones’ interrogation, Sherry couldn’t come up with an answer right away.

Just when Sherry was hesitating, White Mitchell’s voice suddenly sounded, saying indifferently, “That night, I beat up Hans Weiden.”

What!?

He hit Hans Weiden!?

Wow!

The faces of the Jones Family members were abruptly shocked, immediately shrouded by an inexplicable gloom.

It’s over, absolutely over, just after resolving the Woods and Thomas Family issues, now they have the Weiden Family to deal with. White Mitchell, are you trying to ruin the Jones Family!?

“Get out! Get out of here right now! I don’t want to see you again, you jinx, get out of our Jones Family!”

Old Madam Jones roared, her eyes turning red with anger. She abruptly stood up, waving her crutch, and angrily charged at White Mitchell.
