Sayon, the Jones Family residence.
Starting from the anniversary of Logan Jonesâs death, under the leadership of Old Madam Jones, the Jones family members went daily to Sayon Public Cemetery to kneel before Logan Jonesâs grave and repent.
Though exhausted in body and mind, Old Madam Jones had no choice but to do this in order to gain White Mitchellâs forgiveness.
âMom, are we going to kneel again today? We have been kneeling for two days and White Mitchell hasnât come to see us even once. Look at my swollen knees,â Amanda complained bitterly before they set out.
An exhausted Old Madam Jones, upon hearing these words, cast her a severe look and reprimanded, âWhat, my old bones can withstand it, but your body is somehow more delicate than others?
We are not making you kneel for 24 hours. We are already lenient to you, yet you have the nerve to complain here?
Compared to the future of the Jones Family, this bit of suffering is nothing.
Hurry up, donât dawdle. If White blames us and refuses to forgive the Jones Family, I will hold you accountable first!â
With a livid face, Old Madam Jones turned and walked out, leaning on her cane, followed by others.
Upon hearing these words, Amanda looked grievously towards Will Jones and voiced, âWill, look at mom, thisâ¦â
Sighâ¦just be quiet and do what mom says. If you donât want to, then pack your things and get lost,â Will reprimanded rudely.
âWill, even youâ¦â
Amandaâs eyes welled up with tears of grievance.
Just then, a black sedan abruptly stopped outside the Jones residence, blocking the path of the departing Jones family members.
Huh?
The Jones family paused, and immediately shouted in response to the arrival, âSnowden!?â
âYou disobedient girl, where have you been all this time, not even coming home? Do you want to worry us to deathâ¦â Amanda greeted with tear-filled eyes.
In reality, Snowden Jones had been hiding out with Jacob Bright all this time, being affectionate with him.
It wasnât that she didnât want to return to the Jones family, but rather she didnât want to lose face in front of Sherry Jones.
She knew that as soon as she returned home, the Jones family members would certainly drag her to apologise in order to curry favor with Sherry Jones.
So, during this period, she had simply hidden herself away with Jacob Bright, disappearing from sight.
The reason she suddenly returned home today was because she had learned about the current situation in Sayon and wanted to stop her family members from continuing their efforts to please Sherry Jones.
âSnowden? What are you saying? Isnât Myles White Mitchellâs backer?
Moreover, isnât Myles back to deal with him?â
The Jonesâ family members who heard the news were all left agape.
How could everything change so drastically in less than two days?
Just a little while ago, everyone was saying with utmost conviction that Myles was White Mitchellâs backer.
But now that Myles is back, the first person heâs after is White Mitchell?
What on earth is going on?
In response to the Jones familyâs questions, Snowden Jones gleefully said, âWhatâs so surprising? White Mitchell must have been exploiting Mylesâ reputation to swindle his way around.
Otherwise, would people like Longman and Amanda listen to him â a man whoâs been in jail?
Now that Myles is back, heâll definitely have to settle the score with him.
I heard that tonight, at his companyâs celebration, Myles intends to make an example of White Mitchell and use his blood to serve as a warning to everyone in Sayon!â
âSnow⦠Snowden, are you saying that Myles is planning to kill White Mitchell tonight?â
Old Madam Jones and the others wore complicated expressions after hearing this news.
In Old Madam Jonesâs opinion, they had barely caught a glimmer of hope when it suddenly vanished.
The things they had done in the past two days, even she, at her age, had to kneel and repent before Logan Jonesâs grave.
She had thrown away all her past pride to be trampled on by White Mitchell.
Who would have thought, all of it was fake, Myles was back and all of the power White Mitchell held was nothing but a fallacy.
Everything was fake, all of it was fake!
Old Madam Jonesâs gaze progressively darkened, an intense rage burning within her chest.
Amanda next to her couldnât help cursing, âThat bastard White Mitchell schemed us so ruthlessly!
I said long ago that he was bad news, spitting on him, the shameless bastard.
No, we must settle this score with him!â
âYes, we must settle the score!â
Old Madam Jones slammed her cane onto the ground, looking as though she was on the verge of combusting.
âCall that unfilial girl Sherry and tell her to roll out to see me immediately!â Old Madam Jones commanded thunderously.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
At her words, Will Jones quickly took out his phone and dialed Sherry Jonesâs number.
However, Sherry Jones was already absorbed in damage control and had no time to deal with the Jones family. Seeing the incoming call from Will Jones, she immediately hung up.
Thereafter, Will Jones stubbornly dialed several more times, only for Sherry to turn her phone off.
âGood, that ungrateful Sherry girl is evidently guilty. She must have known about White Mitchell a long time ago and now that sheâs been exposed, sheâs even afraid to take calls.â Amanda analyzed emphatically.
âA good one, White Mitchell, a good one, Sherry Jones, even I was kept in the dark!â Old Madam Jonesâs face was stony, her bloodshot eyes seething with wrath.
Seeing this, Snowden Jones immediately offered, âGrandma, what can it do if she wonât take calls? Anyway, tonight, White Mitchell will definitely appear at Mylesâs celebrations.
Even if he doesnât go, Myles will drag him there. Weâll wait for him at the celebration venue, then perhaps we can not only disassociate ourselves from them and retrieve our shares, but might also be able to win Mylesâs favour.
You must know, all the power that both White Mitchell and Sherry Jones held to control Sayon, was all due to exploiting Mylesâs strength. If we can gain Mylesâs favour, what do we have to worry about our future development?â
This speech was exactly what the Jones Family wanted to hear.
After hearing this, Old Madam Jones kept nodding her head. She immediately asked Will Jones to drive them to the Steel Groupâs celebration venue to find White Mitchell.
â¦
Meanwhile, having learned that Myles was after White Mitchell, Sherry Jones immediately began to mobilize all the resources she had on hand.
However, at present, almost no one in Sayon dared to stand against Myles. Even Amanda and Longman were steadily retreating in this confrontation.
As such, the forces that Sherry Jones could mobilize were scant.
However, no matter what, as long as there was a glimmer of hope, Sherry Jones did not want White Mitchell in trouble.
She was willing to give her life for White Mitchell!
Nobody could harm White Mitchell!
Sherry Jones did not expect, however, that when she was ready to head to the celebration venue, she would suddenly get a message.
A military drill would be conducted near the listing ceremony of the Steel Group, with no unrelated persons allowed nearby?
