Chapter 134: Chapter 134: Sherry Jones Apologizes!
Translator: 549690339
“Stop! You are not allowed to harm my brother!”
Upon witnessing the menace Hans Weiden posed, Sherry Jones was dazzled, but in the next moment, she confidently placed herself in front of White Mitchell.
Hans Weiden looked at Sherry Jones standing up for White Mitchell with a grotesque expression, his face darkening even more.
At this scene, Old Madam Jones stepped in to mediate anxiously, “Sherry! What are you doing? Please sit down right away!”
Of course, she wasn’t trying to protect White Mitchell, it was because she didn’t want to harm Sherry Jones.
After all, Sherry Jones now was an instrument of the Jones Family to cozy up to the Weiden Family. She couldn’t afford to have any mishaps.
After scolding Sherry Jones, Old Madam Jones brought a flattery smile to Hans Weiden, saying, “Mr. Weiden, please calm down. The young lady’s just being impulsive. We have invited you here today for a reason. We will make sure that you are satisfied.”
Upon hearing this, Hans Weiden, casting a frosty gaze at the Jones Family members, quickly replied with a playful expression, “Fair enough. Today, let’s see whether you’ll manage to satisfy me.”
Then, Hans Weiden sat down in the VIP seat of the Jones Family house, presenting quite a stable and unruffled appearance, while the others from the Jones Family circled around him, trying to please him.
Looking at this, one would falsely take Hans Weiden as the head of the Jones Family.
The Jones Family, including Old Madam Jones, did not express any displeasure. In fact, Old Madam Jones was flattering Jones, “Mr. Weiden if it weren’t for you, the Jones Family would not have been able to tackle the huge problems presented by the Woods Family and the Thomas Family. We will always be grateful. From now on, you are the greatest benefactor of our family. We will make sure to satisfy you today.”
The Woods Family and the Thomas Family?
Upon hearing this, Hans Weiden was taken aback. Clearly, he had no impression at all about these two small and insignificant clans, let alone helping the Jones Family to deal with them.
However, Hans Weiden knew the influence of his family, the Weiden Family, in Sayon. The Woods Family and the Thomas Family must have submitted to the Jones Family, knowing that he was pursuing Sherry Jones.
Thinking of this, Hans Weiden casually said, “That was nothing. Given the prestige of the Weiden Family in Sayon, there will be plenty of such opportunities in the future.”
Ah!
The members of the Jones Family were ecstatic about this. If they had the Weiden Family as their backing, the Jones Family would rise rapidly!
The Jones Family members were all trying to please Hans Weiden with more humility.
“But…” At this moment, Hans Weiden changed his tone, looked at White Mitchell contemptuously, and said in a playful tone, “It all depends on the performance of the Jones Family.”
The Jones Family members looked at each other with strange expressions upon hearing this.
The meaning of Hans Weiden’s words was clear – he wanted to see the sincerity of the Jones Family.
Such sincerity, most likely, referred to White Mitchell!
The scoundrel who hit Hans Weiden is now being sought for revenge by Hans himself, and he obviously won’t let him off easy.
Thinking of this, Old Madam Jones quickly reassured Hans Weiden, “Mr. Weiden, rest assured, we will ask White Mitchell to apologize immediately!”
Apologize?
Hans Weiden sneered and shook his head. He meant to say it would take more than an apology to settle the matter.
The Jones Family members felt a clutch of anxiety when they saw the look on Hans Weiden’s face. They eagerly asked, “Mr. Weiden, what do you wish for us to do?”
Hans Weiden looked at White Mitchell coldly and then arrogantly stated, “If someone told me to cripple my own arms, then fine, today, I will return the favour! If he is willing to cripple his own arms and kneel before me, I will behave as if nothing happened and will even offer the Jones Family an opportunity to collaborate with us, the Weiden Family!”
Ah!
Upon hearing Hans Weiden’s words, the eyes of everyone in the Jones Family brightened up at once as if they had already seen the rise of the Jones Family.
In the past, the idea of cooperating with the Weiden Family would have been unthinkable for the Jones Family, which was nothing more than a minor, third-rate wealthy family.
But things were different now, an opportunity was laid in front of them and it was absolutely an ardent chance for the Jones Family.
“Nana!” Snowden Jones stared at Old Madam Jones excitedly.
Without waiting for her to finish speaking, Old Madam Jones simply nodded her head, the look on her face revealed that she had already made up her mind.
Then she turned to White Mitchell with a serious face, “What are you still sitting there for!? Didn’t you hear Mr. Weiden’s words?
This is an opportunity for you to make amends. Don’t be shameless and forget about your current circumstances!
Without Mr. Weiden’s support, not just you, Sherry won’t have a good outcome either!
I advise you to obey Mr. Weiden’s words well. Maybe, he will spare your life, otherwise, hahaha…”
Threat!
It was a barefaced threat!
However, facing Old Madam Jones’ threat, White Mitchell maintained an indifferent expression as if he hadn’t heard her words at all.
Off to the side, when Sherry Jones heard Mr. Weiden’s words, her pretty face was instantly overshadowed by a cloud of gloom.
White Mitchell had injured Hans Weiden to save her. How could she stand by and watch him being tortured like this now?
Moreover, White Mitchell’s present troubles were already abundant enough. The Imperial Group alone was enough to give him massive headaches, let alone adding the Weiden Family into the mix.
Upon realizing this, Sherry Jones resolutively stood up. She said to Hans Weiden, “The incident happened because of me, I’ll apologize on behalf of my brother! If you want an arm cut off, cut off mine. If you want someone to kneel, I’ll kneel for you!”
“Sherry! Shut up! This has nothing to do with you!”
As soon as Sherry Jones opened her mouth, Old Madam Jones snapped coldly, her face darkening.
Seizing the moment, Snowden Jones mocked White Mitchell, saying, “A big man who always hides behind a woman, you really do have some nerve.
You caused the troubles yourself, yet you want others to take the blame for you. Haha…Is this your style, White Mitchell?”
“You are not allowed to talk about my brother!” Sherry Jones lashed out in defense, then directly ignored the opposition from the Jones Family and walked right up to Hans Weiden.
“Hans, the incident that night, my brother only hit you to protect me. Just name how much you want, I can compensate you!
If you insist on crippling my brother, I’ll do it on his behalf. I’ll maim myself and kneel in apology to you.
This matter has nothing to do with my brother, so stop giving him a hard time.”
Sherry Jones firmly stated her decision, but upon hearing her words, Hans Weiden responded with a cold sneer, “Money? Do you really think I need it? About you…Well…Let’s see how sincere you are.”
As he concluded, a mischievous smirk appeared on Hans Weiden’s face, and there was a clear desire in his eyes as he looked at Sherry Jones.
At that moment, Sherry Jones, with a firm closure of her lips, was about to kneel down.
But just then, a powerful hand gently supported her, keeping her from kneeling down.
“Brother!?” Sherry Jones’ eyes reddened, and she pleaded, “Brother, don’t stop me, let me apologize to him.”
White Mitchell shook his head slightly and said calmly, “How can I let you apologize? I will do it.”
“Brother, you?” Warmth surged in Sherry Jones’ heart, even as guilt crept into her as well. If it weren’t for her, White Mitchell wouldn’t have messed with Hans Weiden.
Upon hearing White Mitchell’s words, Hans Weiden curled up his lips in a sneer, saying sarcastically, “Finally, not acting like a turtle anymore? I thought you would hide behind a woman forever.
Come on, show me your sincerity. As long as you willingly cripple yourself, kneel in front of me and kowtow three times, I might consider sparing your life.
Otherwise, hahaha…you might as well prepare your coffin!”
