Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Sayon, Jones Family home.
In the face of Old Madam Jones’s inquisition, Sherry Jones shivered and stammered with difficulty, “Grandma, I… I am the one who…”
“It was me who hit the person, Sherry had nothing to do with it.”
Just as Sherry was about to take all the blame, White Mitchell stepped in and interrupted her.
“Brother… you?” She looked at White with a bitter smile on her face, and quickly said to Old Madam Jones, “Grandma, it’s not like that. It’s not entirely my brother’s fault.
It was the man from the Royal Group deliberately making things difficult for us, not letting us participate in the auction, even rudely insulting us.
My brother hit him to protect me.”
Whoosh!
Hearing this, Old Madam Jones flew into a rage.
She didn’t care about being deliberately obstructed, she only knew that White Mitchell had indeed hit someone from the Royal Group!
“Scoundrel! You are simply lawless! Is a person from the Royal Group also someone you can beat? Do you know how much trouble you’ve caused?!” Old Madam Jones’s cane slammed heavily on the floor, reprimanding him word by word.
But the indifferent look on White’s face remained. Instead, he asked, “What? Do I need your consent to fight someone?”
Whoosh!
“You! You scoundrel! You scoundrel!” Hearing these words, Old Madam Jones wished she could throw White out immediately.
“Grandma, look at his attitude. There isn’t a bit of remorse in him. I think we should issue a statement as soon as possible to avoid implicating our Jones Family.” Snowden Jones, who had just been hit by White, sneered.
“Mom, I think Snowden is right. We can’t let this kind of person tarnish the reputation of our Jones Family. If the Royal Group really comes after us, we will have to clean up after him.” Amanda chimed in.
Hearing Snowden and Amanda’s words, Sherry was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, she hurriedly advised, “Brother, you should apologize to grandma. Otherwise, if the people from the Royal Group really come to us, we…”
Just as Sherry started to persuade White, he laughed and said, “Don’t worry. Didn’t you see David Herb’s attitude yesterday?
Not only will he not blame me, on the contrary, he will even thank me.”
“Really…really?” Sherry looked at White suspiciously, with a trace of worry.
Meanwhile, Snowden and others laughed sarcastically after hearing White’s words.
“What? Did I hear that right? You said David Herb won’t blame you?” Snowden laughed as if she had heard a great joke.
Amanda followed, sneering coldly, “Who has such a big talk early in the morning? Could it be that they didn’t brush their teeth today?
David Herb would be thankful to you? You must be still dreaming from last night.
Poor child, if your head really feels uncomfortable, you should go to a mental hospital and see a doctor, don’t embarrass yourself here.”
Hahaha…..
Amanda and her daughter’s sharp laughter echoed through the Jones family house, filling it with their voices.
Boom Boom Boom!
Old Madam Jones’s cane hit the floor again, she gave White a stern look and snapped, “Nonsense! You expect David Herb to thank you? What makes you think that?”
White Mitchell smiled indifferently and said nonchalantly, “I don’t need a reason. Just because I taught his subordinates a lesson for him, just because I got rid of a troublemaker for him, just because he dares not provoke me!” Whoosh!
As White Mitchell gave his three reasons, he exuded such strong confidence that anyone couldn’t help but take notice.
But, clearly, the Jones Family didn’t feel the same way.
Unless David Herb stood in front of them and spoke those words himself, they would never believe in White regardless.
“Grandma, let’s stop wasting our breath with him. Look at him, blabbering away like it’s all true. Seems as if he’d die if he didn’t boast.” Snowden Jones coldly glanced at White Mitchell.
“Mom, Snowden is right. We should immediately issue an announcement to clear the air; the important thing is we need to kick Sherry out of the Jones family, so she doesn’t drag us down.” Amanda suggested.
Hearing this, Old Madam Jones hardened her face and seriously nodded. It was clear that she held a grudge against White Mitchell.
‘Wait!”
At that moment, White Mitchell’s voice sounded again.
“What else could you be up to now?!” Old Madam Jones was instantly filled with rage at the sound of White Mitchell’s voice.
She always felt that White Mitchell was the Jones family’s nemesis – nothing good ever happened whenever he was present.
First, Logan Jones put half of the Jones Family’s business at stake to support him. In the end, all the investments were wasted, and they couldn’t retrieve a single dime.
Then Logan even risked his life and ended up dead for trying to exonerate him.
After he finished his jail time, he first annoyed the Woods family. Although he luckily escaped their wrath, who could guarantee they wouldn’t come to settle scores later?
With the problems not over yet, now he has angered the mighty Royal Group.
This was simply unforgivable!
Old Madam Jones’s face grew flushed with anger as she thought about this, her furious eyes were locked onto White Mitchell.
Ignoring her gaze, White Mitchell seriously said, “Whether David Herb chooses to hold me accountable is my issue—none of your business.
What I’m about to say concerns Sherry. Don’t forget, Madam, that we have a bet between us. You wouldn’t be planning to go back on your word, would you?”
“Nonsense! Since when did I say I’d back out?!” Old Madam Jones trembled with rage, wishing she could kick White Mitchell out right away.
At this point, Snowden Jones feigned calming Old Madam Jones and then coldly said to White Mitchell, “You have the nerve to bring up the bet?
Don’t forget you only have less than five days left. GH Company is likely to fall into Royal Group’s hands. Do you think you can get it back?”
“Come on, I’ll give you a chance right now — kneel down and apologize to me!” Snowden said arrogantly, as if waiting to see White Mitchell humiliated.
Amanda immediately scoffed as well, “Why does he have such a thick face? Just because you’ve got some luck due to the Bright’s family issue with Longman, do you think you’re all high and mighty?
Can’t you see it wasn’t your achievement? It was all because of my son-in-law’s luck. And you still have the guts to stand here and talk big.
Thinking of going back to the company and freeloading? Yeah right! You sure dream big for a guy who’s not much to look at!”
Hearing this, Old Madam Jones was panting heavily and said with a disgruntled face, ” There were three conditions, you’ve only fulfilled two; you’re not entitled to bring up the bet.
I’ll make the decision now—to officially eject you from the Jones Family, and as for Logan’s bones…”
“Hold up!”
Old Madam Jones’s words were cut off by White Mitchell yet again—this made her even more irate, “Do you have anything else to say? Say everything at once!”
White Mitchell smiled, then calmly said, “Who said that I’ve only fulfilled two conditions?”
