The next day, Sherry Jones made an effort to get up early. She pulled out a professional suit she hadnât worn for a while and put it on.
The mature and intellectual outfit, coupled with black stockings, fit Sherry perfectly, adding a blend of career womenâs demeanor to her.
âAre you sure I donât need to accompany you?â White Mitchell asked, as he watched Sherry get ready.
He knew in his heart that if the Jones Family had agreed so readily the day before, there must be a catch somewhere â something he couldnât bring himself to trust.
Perhaps, at this time, the Jones Family had already dug a big trap in the company, eagerly waiting for Sherry to fall into it.
However, White Mitchell was not worried. Even if Sherry stirred up trouble today, he would keep her safe and sound!
Hearing this, Sherry inhaled deeply as she looked at herself in the mirror. She slowly turned around, looking at White Mitchell: âBrother, no need. Iâm fine with having my aunt by my side.
By the way, howâs the house hunting I asked you to do?
Our mother will be coming back from River North in a few days, and we canât keep staying in a hotel.â
White Mitchell smiled, âDonât worry, everything has been arranged. We can move in once mom comes back.â
Sherry nodded upon hearing this and continued speaking: âThen, for the time being, do buy some necessities for daily living.
Mother has just recovered from her injury, and we need to be extra careful about anything she uses. If youâre out of money, just let me know.
I should be able to get some advance payment from my salary. If thatâs still not enough, Iâll ask my aunt for a loan.â
Listening to Sherryâs earnest advice, White Mitchell felt a bitter smile in his heart; he had never worried about money.
Ever since establishing the White War Department, he has had little concept of money. Every year, too many wealthy people hurriedly send money over to the White War Department.
With just one word from White Mitchell, he could mobilize a tremendously terrifying amount of funds.
Therefore, White Mitchell never worried about money before, and certainly wouldnât start now.
Subsequently, White Mitchell still felt uneasy, so he secretly sent a message to Mori Jones, asking her to help keep an eye on Sherry and notify him immediately if there was any problem.
At nine in the morning, Sherry and Mori Jones appeared at the entrance of the Jones Group office.
However, the inside of the Jones Group was dark. Usually at this hour, the company would be bustling with employees, but now, even the main door was tightly closed.
Both girls instinctively frowned at the sight.
âAunt, whatâs going onâ¦?â Sherry glanced at Mori in confusion.
Mori shook her head and brought out her work card to open the office door.
âIs anyone there!?â
Mori shouted, but no one replied.
Seeing this, Moriâs mood plummeted to the bottom. âIt must be something Logan and Snowden are plotting!â
Mori knew that after the mass resignation of the employees of the Jones Group last time, Will Jones urgently recruited a group of new employees.
Also, after much persuasion, he had brought back some of his previous key employees to preside over the overall situation.
The Jones Group was, strictly speaking, operating normally.
But the sight before them was the complete opposite: it was time for work, but not a single employee was to be seen.
If there wasnât someone behind this, Mori genuinely wouldnât believe it.
Who else could cause such a big stir in such a short period of time but Will Jones and Snowden Jones?
âAunt, what should we do now?â Sherry was suddenly panicked.
Even a talented wife canât cook without rice. She might have huge skills, but she canât possibly handle everything by herself.
Furthermore, the Jones family only gave her a monthâs time. If the employees had really all left, recruiting again would undoubtedly waste a lot of time.
On top of that, new recruits would need training. Without any experienced employees guiding, the speed at which theyâd get started would take a significant hit.
Sherry didnât expect her first day on the job to hold such a massive hurdle set by Logan and his daughter!
âNot to worry! Iâll call your granduncle and ask whatâs going on!â Mori said, trying her best to stay calm.
Sherry nodded with a helpless look. This was all she could do at the moment.
Just as Mori was about to contact Will Jones by pulling out her phone, they heard an unfriendly voice from the entrance of the Jones Group.
âWow, whatâs wrong with the Jones Group? Why is there not a soul in sight? Has the company closed down? Or is it haunted!?â
The voice was filled with a hint of mockery, full of bitterness.
Upon hearing this voice, Moriâs face immediately darkened, âSounds like itâs Ryan, your granduncleâs assistant!â
Ryan?
Sherry was taken aback before she remembered the current situation of the Jones Group that Mori had briefed her about the night before.
Ryan was considered one of Will Jonesâs trusted advisors. When the employees of the Jones Group walked out as a group, he was the first one to do so.
Luckily, he was later persuaded to return by Will Jonesâs offer of three times his original salary.
He was certainly capable, but was also extremely profit-driven.
âDidnât Ryan already come back? What does he mean by this?â Mori was a bit confused.
âLetâs go out and see first!â said Sherry with a solemn look.
Not long after, they saw a somewhat sleazy middle-aged man with a smug look on his face standing at the gate of the company. There were about seven or eight arrogant young men standing behind him.
Undoubtedly, the leader of the group, the slick-looking middle-aged man, was Will Jonesâs assistant, Ryan.
At this moment, he was standing at the entrance of the Jones Group without any reservations, his smug expression filled with a bit of a provocative taste.
âRyan, itâs work time. Why are you standing here instead of being in the company? Who gave you such audacity!â Mori asked, with righteous indignation.
However, Ryan standing across from her seemed to regard her words as a joke, sneering before looking at Sherry.
Ryan looked at Sherry with a playful smile on his face and taunted, âPresumably, this must be the newly-appointed general manager of the Jones Group, Miss Sherry Jones, right?â
Sherryâs face darkened, and she asked coldly, âRyan, what exactly do you want!?â
Hearing this, Ryan gave a cold laugh and continued to say with a playful tone: âNothing much, I just wanted to tell you that I have not been an employee of the Jones Group since last night.
Not just me, but all the other employees have resigned as well. In other words, youâre by yourself now! Please remember not to speak to me in that tone anymore because Iâm not your employee!
Oh, hereâs another thing, see that company across the street? They just opened today, and their line of business is exactly the same as the Jones Group! We are competitors now!
Donât worry, whatever business the Jones Group undertakes in the future, we will do the same, until I witness your bankruptcy with my own eyes!â
