King’s Awakening - Chapter 307

Chapter 307: Chapter 307 The Sky in June, the Faces of the Jones Family!
Sayon, Jones Group.

Everyone in the Jones family started to show an increasingly hideous expression. Right now, they all felt that it wasn’t that Sherry couldn’t borrow money, but that she never thought of helping them in the first place.

All those actions just now were just for show. Her sympathy was nothing but crocodile tears!

At this thought, Amanda could not help standing up, pointing at Sherry, and said: “Impossible! How could Beckett not lend you money?

You are his business partner, aren’t you? Aren’t you helping him with his work? How would he get the Nezzi new city project without you?

He can afford a trillion, is two hundred million not just a drop in the bucket for him? Would he not lend it to you?

Be honest, did you never actually consider helping your uncle?!”

Seeing this, Will also couldn’t help but reprimand: “Sherry, if you really don’t want to help, just say so, don’t beat around the bush.

I see now that you are leaving us to die, I can’t believe you turned out to be such a heartless and ungrateful person. The Jones family raised you for so many years in vain.

You and that bastard are all like ungrateful wolves!”

“I…” Sherry looked aggrieved, it wasn’t that she didn’t want to help now, but that she really didn’t have that much money in hand.

But before she had a chance to explain, Old Madam Jones interrupted by hitting the floor with her cane: “Sherry, are you waiting until your grandmother kneels in front of you before you are willing to help your uncle?

I know you still hold a grudge about the past, but ask your heart, haven’t we done everything for your sake?

Isn’t it right for us to ask you to marry Hans, to become Mrs. Weiden? We did this all for your happiness!

I didn’t expect you to be ungrateful, and now you won’t even help us with this small matter.

Are you really waiting for us all to die in front of you? Is this how you honor your deceased father?”

Old Madam Jones’ cane was relentlessly tapping the floor, pressuring Sherry just as her words did.

Hearing this, Sherry felt uncomfortable. A sense of helplessness lingered in her heart.

“Enough, stop talking. I really can’t come up with that much money right now. The money in the account is Beckett’s investment in the Nezzi New City project. Without his permission, I can’t use his money to help you,” Sherry said hopelessly.

“You wicked girl, what do you mean by this? Do you really want to see our Jones family ruined?” Amanda menaced.

Sherry shook her head painfully: “I will find a way to resolve the debt my uncle owes. But only this once. If the same happens again, even if you put a knife to my neck, I will not help you again.”

After saying this, Sherry slumped weakly into her seat, her pretty face full of trouble.

The Jones family lessened their ferocious expressions after hearing this.

At this moment, Amanda’s eyes flickered. She squeezed out a smile on her face and asked in a flattering manner: “Sherry… Sherry, we were just venting our anger earlier. Please don’t take it to heart.

You said Beckett didn’t want to lend you money, right?

So, how are you planning to help your uncle pay off the debt now? The people from the casino said that if they don’t see the money before sundown, they will take action.”

Upon hearing this, everyone in the Jones family stared at Sherry with ingratiating expressions.

Now that Sherry had agreed to help, it was natural for them to flatter her as much as possible. Where else could they come up with two hundred million?

Upon hearing this, Sherry couldn’t help but rub her temples, her appearance troubled.

After a while, Sherry finally said: “Alright, Uncle, you take me to meet those people from the casino. I will try and see if I can buy some time.

As for the money you owe, I can’t come up with that much right now. When I have money in the future, I can pay them back slowly.”

The only solution Sherry could think of now was this.

But this makes the Zhen Dong New City project all the more important now.

Not only do they need to help White Mitchell fend off the trouble from Noah Weiden and the Imperial Group, but now they also have to help the Jones Family pay off its two billion debt.

If Zhen Dong New City falls into the hands of the Imperial Group, then both White Mitchell and the Jones Family will fall into an irreversible plight.

But now, Sherry Jones has no other options, she can only take a high-stakes risk.

Upon hearing this, the faces of the Jones Family immediately showed a sense of disappointment. They had thought that Sherry Jones could come up with the money to help them resolve this issue.

But they had not expected that Sherry Jones simply could not come up with such an amount of money.

However, the silver lining in this unfortunate situation is that if Sherry Jones steps in, Bing should show some restraint and would not push them so hard.

After all, Sherry Jones is now the bidder for the Zhen Dong New City project, so her status is special.

Thinking of this, the faces of the Jones Family members changed to a flattering expression, continuously trying to please Sherry Jones.

However, facing the flattering of the Jones family, Sherry Jones didn’t feel happy at all. She knew well that the Jones family would only be eager to please her when they thought they could get some benefits from her.

But she can’t bring herself to leave them to their doom, not doing anything.

Having no alternative, Sherry Jones could only ask Will Jones to take her secretly to see Bing. She kept this a secret from even Mori Jones and the others.

Because Sherry Jones knew that, if Mori Jones knew about it, White Mitchell would too, and he would never agree with her doing this.

So she had to keep it a secret from everyone.

However, she was not aware that if White Mitchell wanted to know her whereabouts, it was exceedingly simple.

In the evening, Sherry Jones, accompanied by Will Jones, arrived at the casino from which he had borrowed the money.

Though it’s called a casino, from the outside, it appears no different from a typical KTV.

Only a few people know that it is actually the largest underground casino in Sayon.

Since Will Jones is a regular gambler, he knew about this place.

The reason he was able to borrow so much money from Bing was that he is a frequent visitor to this place and Bing had also previously investigated the stockpiling of land by Alan Austin, so Bing lent him the money, even investing a share himself.

However, they ended up losing everything.

They entered the KTV, Will Jones familiarly gave the password to the staff, passed several secret doors, and finally arrived at Bing’s headquarters–the underground casino.

The underground casino is located in the basement of the KTV. The place is full of light, gaming tables are everywhere, surrounded by gamblers with red eyes.

Sherry Jones, visiting this place for the first time, was quite uncomfortable. Fortunately, both she and Will Jones were quickly ushered into Bing’s office by his men.

Upon entering Bing’s office, they encountered a sexy bunny girl sitting on Bing’s lap, with Bing’s hand moving freely over her, without any attempt to conceal his actions.

“You’ve got good timing, half an hour late, and my men would have been dispatched.” Bing glanced at Will Jones, then his gaze shifted to Sherry Jones, revealing his unhidden greed.

“So, did you bring the money? Looking at you coming in empty-handed, is it a check or a bank transfer?” Leonardo Kim stared intently at Sherry Jones and asked.

Sherry Jones frowned, took a deep breath, and gathered her courage to say, “I’m not here today to pay his debt, I am here to…”

Not here to pay the debt?!

Before Sherry Jones could finish her sentence, Bing’s face turned dark. He abruptly pushed the bunny girl from his lap, and stood up with a thud, glaring fiercely at Sherry Jones, “Are you playing me?! You tired of living?!”
