Chapter 208: Regret? Then Go Bankrupt!
Translator: 549690339
Sayon, the Jones Family!
Backing out?
Upon hearing White Mitchell’s words, Amanda couldn’t help but scoff. She boldly sneered, “White Mitchell, one can digest all kinds of food, but words should not be spoken carelessly!
What do you mean by us backing out? Please get the facts straight. We, the Jones family, are giving Sherry a chance due to her hard work recently.
If she fails, she will need a way out. On the contrary, you seem ungrateful and instead question us? Do you have no shame left?”
As soon as Amanda made these remarks, Will Jones immediately retorted, “White Mitchell, please stop twisting the situation. This is a matter within Jones Group.
As an outsider, on what grounds are you pointing fingers? Never think your brute strength allows you to behave outrageously. This is a rule-of-law society, where those with big fists cannot reign freely!
Even if you continue to stir things up, the truth will not change. If you know what’s good for you, leave right now, otherwise, I’ll call the police and I’ll have you kicked out!”
Despite Will Jones and Amanda’s ridicule, White Mitchell was unaffected. His sharp gaze fixed intently on Old Madam Jones.
Old Madam Jones suddenly felt uncomfortable under White’s intense gaze, involuntary disgust surfaced on her face.
Then, Old Madam Jones sternly said, “White Mitchell! This is our family matter, and it has nothing to do with you. I have my reasons for whatever arrangements I make.
Remember this, Jones Group is our family business, and as the chairman, I am it’s owner! Whatever decisions I make, I do not need your interference, White Mitchell!
If you can’t stomach this, feel free to pack your things and get out of Jones Group!!!”
When Old Madam Jones made this statement, her tone was incredibly adamant, her eyes flickered with unwavering determination, reminiscent of the head of an old feudal society–definite and unyielding!
On hearing this, Amanda and Logan instantly scoffed with relish, smiles of triumph spread across their faces as they sneered, “Heard that, White Mitchell? Still not packing up and leaving?”
Seeing this, Sherry felt a mix of emotions, as if she upended a spice jar. She just couldn’t bear to see White Mitchell being alienated by the Jones family as he stood up for her.
So, she held White Mitchell’s hand, disheartened and faintly said, “Brother, let it be, I…”
But just as she was about to persuade White Mitchell to leave, her words barely out, White Mitchell softly assured her, “Silly girl, don’t worry. I’ve said it before, nobody can take what belongs to you. Absolutely nobody!”
The purpose of White Mitchell’s visit to the Jones family today along with Sherry, was to witness the true face of the Jones family and see how low they could stoop.
As expected, the Jones family today did not disappoint him at all. They simply personified greed to its very core!
Since they chose to treat Sherry this way, they could not blame White for using their tactics against them!
Upon realizing this, White Mitchell turned to glance at Old Madam Jones seated high in the main seat, “Remember everything you’ve done to Sherry today.
If you ever regret it, be ready to repay a hundredfold!”
As the echo of his words faded, a powerful force surged from White Mitchell’s body. A mysterious gale suddenly began to whirl around the Jones family living room.
Boom, boom, boom…
Within seconds, the entire house was turned upside down by this furious wind, and the Jones family members were left sprawled on the floor.
This was just a minor lesson that White Mitchell taught the Jones family. The real lesson was yet to come.
The Jones family members were utterly ignorant of what was to come. All they knew was that White Mitchell was overly arrogant and didn’t take their family seriously at all.
For a moment, all the Jones family members were incensed and humiliated, glaring with gritted teeth at the retreating figure of White Mitchell.
“White Mitchell! You ruthless bastard! One day, I’ll make you kneel before me!!!” Old Madam Jones growled, furiously pounding her walking stick, wishing she could flay and quarter White Mitchell.
Elsewhere, after White Mitchell had taken the distraught Sherry Jones away from the Jones household, he brought her back to his home, and asked Mori Jones to take good care of her.
After everything was arranged, White Mitchell left the house and knocked on the neighbor’s door.
This was Beckett’s house, where Kylin had been staying lately.
As soon as Kylin answered the door and saw the look on White Mitchell’s face, he realized the severity of the situation. Before he could say a word, White Mitchell spoke in a deep voice, “By sunrise tomorrow, I want to see the Jones Family, bankrupt!”
The word ‘bankrupt’ was enough to illustrate just how intense White Mitchell’s anger was at that moment.
As he had stated earlier at the Jones household, he would make the Jones Family repay a hundred times over!
Upon hearing this, Kylin did not bother asking for an explanation. He immediately pulled out his phone, dialed Beckett, David Herb, and others.
For him, White Mitchell’s words were orders to be carried out, requiring no explanation!
With a flurry of calls, all the forces in Sayon under White Mitchell’s control started stirring into action.
The sales platforms that White Mitchell had helped the Jones Group expand behind the scenes, all but withdrew the Jones Group’s products at once.
Merchandise that was en route was sent right back by their command, without accepting a single piece of it.
Elijah Bailey returned to his company, rallied his troops, and led everyone to leave immediately, giving the Jones Group absolutely no chance to respond.
Moreover, all major banks started to act. The Jones Group’s capital chain also broke abruptly at that moment.
Within just one afternoon, the Jones Group, which had a glimmer of hope of becoming a second-tier tycoon, had unknowingly crossed to the brink of bankruptcy.
“If you Jones want to play, good, then I, White Mitchell, will join you in this game!” White Mitchell sat in Beckett’s house, masterminding the whole thing, while his eyes radiated an unnerving chill.
On the other side, the Jones family, who had no idea what was happening, held a victory celebration that night for Will Jones’s return to power.
Will Jones had drunk a lot and fell asleep. He slept till the next morning and even had a beautiful dream.
In the dream, the Jones Group shot to the top of Sayon’s elite circles in ten years, even surpassing David Herb. David Herb became his shoe shiner, bending over backwards to ingratiate himself.
Unfortunately, the dream was broken when Ryan’s call woke him up.
Having his dream interrupted, Will Jones was somewhat irritated. He picked up the phone in an exasperated tone and grumbled, “What’s the matter? So early in the morning, don’t I deserve a good sleep? You bastard, are you trying to quit?”
Over the phone, Ryan’s anxious voice replied, “No, Mr. Jones, you need to return immediately. I can’t handle this alone… the… the company is about to go bankrupt!!”
“What?!”
The stunned Will Jones sprang up from bed, his face instantly filled with a horrified expression, “Ryan! Explain! What the hell happened?! You motherf****er, early in the morning, are you trying to fool me with this joke?!”
Up to now, Will Jones did not quite believe it. After all, the Jones Group was about to emerge as a second-tier powerhouse, and things were on the upswing.
Besides, everything was fine yesterday, how could they go bankrupt overnight?
This Ryan bastard, he wouldn’t be playing such a joke on me, would he?
If it’s a joke, wait till I get back to the office, I’ll teach him a serious lesson!
As soon as he finished speaking, Ryan’s mournful voice came through from the other end of the call, “I…I’m not joking, Mr. Jones, it’s true, we’re really going to go bankrupt…”
This…
Upon hearing this, Will Jones’s facial expression froze instantly. The phone slipped from his hand, clattering to the floor. A wave of panicked realization instantly washed over him…
