Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Early the next morning, Sherry Jones quietly opened her room door, originally intending to sneak back to the Jones residence without White Mitchell’s knowledge.

However, as soon as she opened the door, there was White Mitchell standing in front of her room, grinning and saying, “Good morning.”

Sherry Jones glared resentfully at him, a touch of disappointment showing on her pretty face.

At this point, she had no choice but to reluctantly bring White Mitchell back to the Jones residence.

Meanwhile, back at the Jones’ household, they were already waiting for her since early morning.

Will Jones paced back and forth, frequently checking the time, looking visibly troubled.

“Mom, it’s nearly nine o’clock and that damned girl Sherry, along with that bastard White, haven’t returned yet. Are they planning not to come back at all?” Will Jones said frantically.

Representatives from Longman, Woods Family and the Thomas Family were all coming today to cause trouble, and could appear at any moment.

If Sherry is not here at that point, what could the Jones family possibly do to deal with those demons and ghouls?

At this thought, Will Jones turned even more anxious.

Old Madam Jones was also filled with anxiety, her face twisted into a scowl despite sitting, her unease palpable.

“Grandmother, could it be possible that the bastard has changed his mind? Nevermind that Sherry agreed to it yesterday, that scoundrel has been against it all along.” Snowden Jones sharply remarked.

“Dare he!?” roared Old Madam Jones. At this moment, Mori Jones quickly defended Sherry: “Since Sherry agreed to return, she most likely will. Can you Keep your reprenens1D1e comments to yourself!

After speaking, Mori Jones’s face was also clouded with worry, wondering why White could use the name of the Imperial Group to deceive people?

The Imperial Group is undeniably a major power, not to mention our family, even the Cooper family probably wouldn’t dare to provoke them easily.

What are we supposed to do now? How can she help White to get past this crisis? Can it be that they should actually have to seek help from the Cooper family?

At this thought, Mori Jones’s countenance grew even more troubled.

“Pfft! Sister-In-Law, that bastard could dare to do anything. He would probably be happy to see our Jones Family fall into ruin.” Amanda added fuel to the fire.

Upon hearing this, Old Madam Jones was even more restless and uneasy.

Just then, the doorbell outside the villa rang. Old Madam Jones, startled, quickly stood up.

Upon seeing Sherry Jones and White Mitchell, the heavy rock on her heart was finally put down.

“Come in quickly, come in.” At this moment, Old Madam Jones was happier to see Sherry than if she had seen an ancestor, and eagerly ushered the two in.

Upon entering the hall, Old Madam Jones formally reiterated to everyone that Sherry would be the general manager.

Snowden and his family, although verbally expressing no objections, wore faces full of lingering mockery.

They seemed like they were just waiting to see Sherry fail.

Amanda couldn’t help but mock directly, “Sherry, you are now the general manager of the Jones Group, and you need to shoulder the responsibilities of a manager.

We are all counting on you to lead the Jones family to greatness. So, do not let us down.”

Upon finishing, Amanda started laughing coldly, her expression smug.

“That’s enough, Amanda. We will soon have guests here. We cannot allow outsiders to laugh at our expense!” Old Madam Jones intervened, worried that they might scare off Sherry.

Sherry Jones pressed her lips together, saying nothing.

After a while, the doorbell at the entrance of the Jones residence rang again.

Old Madam Jones was the first to stand up. She quickly turned to Sherry and urged, “Guests are here, Sherry. Please hurry and greet them, usher them in.” “Me?” Sherry Jones said in surprise.

Amanda sneered, “Who else could it be? You’re the general manager of our Jones Group now! We have an important guest, and you should accommodate him. Are you saying that’s beneath you?”

Seeing the situation, Nanny Donne hurriedly said, “Let me go, I’ll go and…”

But before she could finish, Amanda glared at her fiercely, “What do you mean ‘go and’! Are you in a position to speak here! ? Hurry up and prepare lunch! ?

Are you saying you don’t want to work anymore ! ? ”

Nanny Donne’s face stiffened, she quickly lowered her head timidly and rushed into the kitchen, no longer daring to speak.

Seeing Nanny Donne’s dejected appearance, Amanda arrogantly glared at her again, “What a worthless creature!”

“Let it go, don’t give Nanny Donne a hard time, I’ll…” Sherry Jones couldn’t bear to see Nanny Donne being targeted. But as she was about to stand up, White Mitchell pulled her back into her seat.

“Brother, what…?” Sherry Jones looked at White Mitchell with a puzzled face, but White Mitchell slowly said to the Jones family, “Are you telling me that a simple task like opening a door requires the general manager herself?”

Hearing this, Old Madam Jones glared at White Mitchell with a face full of disgust. Then turned to Amanda indignantly, “Amanda, go open the door.”

“Mom, what did you say!?” Amanda paused in surprise, then her face flushed with resentment.

Old Madam Jones glared at her impatiently, “If I tell you to go, just go, don’t ask so many questions! Leave the door open!”

Amanda felt wronged, she glared at White Mitchell bitterly, her eyes full of resentment, as if she wished she could bite him.

But it was Old Madam Jones’s command after all, so she didn’t dare to disobey and could only run out to open the door gloomily.

In a moment, Amanda returned to the living room, followed by a bulky, bald man.

Seeing the distinct bald head, the Jones family recognized him, one of the two powerhouse kings of the Sayon underworld, Longman.

When they saw Longman, the Jones family couldn’t help but shiver instinctively in fear.

Upon entering the living room, Longman’s gaze immediately fell on White Mitchell, his face displaying a flattering expression.

As for others, he couldn’t even be bothered to glance at them.

“Mr. Longman, hello, the previous incident had nothing to do with the Jones family. It was this lad who acted on his own. We didn’t expect that he would be so brazen to deceive you, you see…”

Will Jones immediately tried to scapegoat White Mitchell, but Longman didn’t listen to a single word he said. He glanced impatiently at Will Jones.

Just one glance made Will Jones tremble with fear, like a frightened bird, shivering uncontrollably.

“Enough of your nonsense, weren’t you going to repay the money? So, where’s the money?” Longman said impatiently.

This…

The Jones family was taken aback at his words, a bit puzzled about Longman’s intentions. If White Mitchell had deceived him, shouldn’t he take it up with White Mitchell instead?

Why does it seem like nothing happened and he just wants his money? Indeed, Longman’s temper is really not something ordinary people could gauge.

At this point, Snowden Jones hurriedly said to Sherry Jones, “General Manager,

Mr. Longman is asking you, you need to respond quickly.”

Sherry Jones looked helpless, as if she had no idea what was happening. Old Madam Jones then added, “Sherry, you’re now the general manager of the Jones Group.

In the meantime, you can privately write an IOU for Mr. Longman. When the bank un-freezes our accounts, you can pay him back.”

Obviously, this was pre-arranged by Old Madam Jones and the others. On one hand, because the Jones family couldn’t afford to repay the money. On the other hand, it was in preparation for later.

When it’s time to dispose of Sherry Jones and White Mitchell, Longman will naturally come to them for repayment.

But in doing so, Sherry Jones was put in a difficult position. Why should she personally write an IOU to Longman for a company’s debt? Isn’t this clearly digging a hole for her to jump into!?
