Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Sayon, Jones Family.
Antonio Woods and his son walked into the Jones home with insolence,
treating it as if there was no one around, totally disregarding the presence of the Jones family members.
“Oh! Look at the crowd. Having a meeting, are we?” Finn Woods casually sneered as he walked in, immediately turning his gaze to Sherry Jones, an expression of greed on his face.
Sherry Jones met his gaze head on, a loathsome expression instantaneously appearing on her face.
At this moment, the Jones family members, upon seeing the Woods father and son, all wore obsequiously ingratiating expressions.
“Lord Woods, young Lord Woods, please, have a seat, have a seat.” Old Madam Jones plastered on a smile and rushed to welcome them.
She then turned to Sherry Jones and commanded, “Sherry! What are you standing around for? Won’t you show the Woods men to their seats?”
Sherry Jones wore an extremely disgusted expression, about to stand up, but was held back by White Mitchell.
Upon seeing this scene, the members of the Jones family displayed an immediate expression of hatred.
Amanda chastised immediately, “White Mitchell! What do you think you’re doing!? Sherry is a daughter-in-law of the Woods family, isn’t it proper for her to attend to her husband and father-in-law? Do you have no idea about respect and hierarchy?”
“Exactly, as her sister, I can’t bear to watch. Sherry, have all those lessons about docility and respect we taught you in the Jones family gone in one ear and out the other? You’re embarrassing us!” sneered Snowden Jones.
The Woods father and son, upon hearing these words, became even more arrogant, casting scornful glances at White Mitchell and Sherry Jones, hinting that if Sherry didn’t serve them, they weren’t going to sit.
Seeing this, Old Madam Jones hastened to plead, “Lord Woods, young Lord Woods, I beg you not to hold it against us. Sherry wasn’t always like this.
It’s all White Mitchell’s fault. Good thing you’re taking her back today, please teach her some manners on our behalf.’
Boom!
Upon hearing Old Madam Jones’ words, something seemed to explode in Sherry Jones’ head, and her eyes turned red instantly.
At this moment, Mori Jones couldn’t bear to watch any longer and came to Sherry’s defense, “Mother, all that’s in the past, isn’t it?
You know well enough that Sherry never wanted to marry into the Woods family. And weren’t they apologetic back then?”
“Mori! Shut up!” As soon as Mori had finished speaking, Old Madam Jones sharply reprimanded her.
At this, the Woods father and son let out a cold laugh, saying openly, “We were deceived by that guy back then. If I’d known he was a like that, would I have let him snatch my daughter-in-law?”
Finn Woods said these words with complete contempt, even a sense of derision.
After hearing his words, not only did the Jones family not come to Sherry’s defense, but Amanda went so far as to kick her while she was down, “See, I told you that guy was all talk! Has the bubble of his boasting burst now?
Does he still think he’s the chairman of Imperial Group? He should look in the mirror; if he goes to the Imperial Group now, would they even let him live?
Huh!”
After saying these words, Amanda gave Mori a triumphant look, her eyes filled with provocation.
Mori’s face turned red with anger, but she still firmly defended, “Mother! The Jones family has already sacrificed Sherry once. Without mincing words, we sold our daughter.
We tried it once and it didn’t work out. Are you going to throw her back into the fire again?”
Whoosh!
At her words, the entire Jones family fell silent. In the vast Jones residence, only Mori dared to say such things.
At this time, the faces of the Woods father and son darkened, and Finn Woods openly cursed, “When did other people have the right to meddle in my and my daughter-in-law’s matters!?”
“Shut your mouth!”
Furious, Mori swiftly turned around and directly reprimanded Finn Woods, “If you don’t want to provoke the Cooper family, behave yourselves today!” The Cooper family?
Upon hearing this name, the Woods father and son’s expressions became reluctant.
But then Finn Woods thought of Connor Cooper’s behavior towards Mori at the wedding ceremony. His face immediately turned cold.
“Cooper family? You’re worthy enough to mention the Coopers? You’re nothing more than a mistress Rhett keeps, and you think you’re eligible to say this?” Finn Woods sneered.
“You!” Mori Jones was immediately choked with anger.
At this moment, Amanda, who was part of the Jones family, added fuel to the fire, “Look, my dear sister-in-law, everybody knows about your affairs.
And now, you dare to mention the Coopers? Could it be that you sincerely believe that the Cooper family will listen to the words of an insignificant person like you?
What a joke!”
Snowden Jones also joined in to needle her, “Sister-in-law, you’ve got your hands full with your own mess and you’re still trying to meddle in other people’s affairs?
I would advise you to save your breath. If the Coopers find out that such a nobody like you dares to use their name in your dealings, you won’t just be denied entry into their household.
If you drag the Jones Family into this, then it’ll be a significant issue!”
Gulp!
Upon hearing these words, Mori Jones’s eyes turned red in an instant. Were these really her relatives?
“Sister-in-law…” Sherry Jones, at this point, really couldn’t bear to see Mori Jones suffering for her sake.
However, just as she was about to speak out, Mori Jones shook her head at her and then resolutely said, “Don’t worry, no matter what, I won’t let them take you away today!”
After saying this, Mori Jones immediately took out her phone, found Rhett’s number and then solemnly said, “Although I’m not part of the Cooper family yet,
with the kind of relationship I have with them, if I want to take down the Woods Family, do you think it would be difficult?”
Huh?
Upon hearing this, the father-son duo of the Woods family turned stiff and their faces darkened.
They frowned, looking at Mori Jones uneasily.
Indeed, even though Mori Jones currently had no status in the Cooper family, she was, after all, Rhett’s woman.
If Rhett genuinely sided with her, the Woods Family was definitely not a match for the Coopers.
At this thought, the faces of the Woods father-son duo turned gloomier than ever.
At that moment, Mori Jones had already dialed Rhett’s number, and even put it on speaker.
“Hello…Hello, Lord Rhett.” The moment the phone connected, Mori Jones sounded somewhat anxious, but when she thought of what Sherry was going through, her eyes once again hardened with resolve.
“Hmm!”
On the other end of the call, there’s nothing but a dull response, but even this simple answer is enough to make everyone on the scene anxious.
Especially the Woods father-son duo, who were even ready to flee on the spot, with their hearts in their throats.
Mori Jones noticed this, took a deep breath, and continued, “Lord Rhett, my niece here is in some trouble and I was hoping you could help. I’ve never asked you for anything before.
But this time, I sincerely need you to help Sherry and White. They are good kids.”
After saying this, Mori Jones anxiously stared at the phone, nervously waiting for the response from the other end of the line.
At that moment, everyone was on tenterhooks, waiting. It was as if time had stopped.
But despite several seconds passing, there was nothing but silence on the other end of the line. After a while, Mori Jones couldn’t help but frown.
Just as Mori was getting a bit uneasy, a childish voice suddenly came from the phone, “Hahaha… I knew this shameless bitch would call. Look, look, it’s her, it’s really…”
Con… Connor Cooper!?
Whoosh!
Mori Jones, upon hearing this voice, was as stunned as if she had been hit by lightning, and stood rooted to the spot!
