âNo need to look anymore, Iâm back!â
The gates of the Jones family mansion slowly opened, and a worn-out Sherry Jones appeared in everyoneâs view, looking like she hadnât slept all night.
âHa, Sherry Jones! You remembered to come back? I thought you would have died out there with that bastard!â Right as Sherry entered, a bitter voice reached her ears.
Following the voice, she saw a silhouette of a woman her age coming into her view, bearing a five or six points resemblance to her, but with a face full of bitterness.
This person was Sherryâs cousin, named Snowden Jones. If Sherry was to rate the people she hated the most, this one would certainly top the list, even surpassing the old fashioned Old Madam Jones.
âYou brat! Kneel down!â
At that time, Old Madam Jones, leaning on her dragon head cane, roared furiously.
But Sherry remained unmoved. Seeing this, Snowden went directly behind
Sherry and stomped on her leg.
With a thud, Sherry knelt down hard, her pretty face full of defiance. But, since she had decided to come back, she had already decided to endure everything for White Mitchell.
âHmph! Is this how you behave? Have you forgotten all about respect and seniority?â Snowden walked to Sherryâs face and, with a smack, slapped her face.
Already slapped by the old woman from Woods family yesterday, and slapped by Snowden today, the imprint of the handprint on Sherryâs face looked even more terrifying.
Yet Sherry didnât buckle at all.
âMom, we canât blame everything on Sherry. It was me who took White there yesterday. Also, the way Woods family treated Sherryâ¦â
At that time, Sherryâs aunt stood out to speak for her, but before she could even finish, Snowden interrupted.
âAunt, you dare to mention this matter? Granny has let you slide, which is already giving you face, and yet you still donât know your place? Donât forget, your own situation hasnât been settled yet, you should look after yourself first.â Snowden mocked coldly.
âSnowden, you!â Mori Jones was left speechless with her face turning red.
Snowden smiled coldly, not caring about her at all.
âEnough! Today we are discussing repairing relations with Woods family. Other things will be dealt with later!â Old Madam Jones interjected.
Upon hearing this, Snowden glanced at Mori Jones with a provocative look.
Then, Old Madam Jones slowly stood up and walked to Sherryâs side: âTell me, where is that bastard now?â
Sherry, pressing her lips together, firmly stated: âIf I did something, itâs on me. It has nothing to do with my brother. If you want to deal with someone, deal with me!â
âDeal with you!?â
The face of Old Madam Jones turned dark, as she coldly said, âDo you think you alone can handle it? Now, Woods family is demanding 10 million from us!
This is 10 million, not 1000! Today, that bastard White Mitchell must return!
Not only does he need to return, but he also must apologize to Mr. Finn Woods in person! Otherwise, I will order to spread your fatherâs ashes all over the River Arch!â
Old Madam Jonesâs words thundered, even with Sherryâs stubbornness, her body couldnât help but tremble, and her eyes turned moist.
âGrandma, how can you speak such words? Those are your own sonâs ashes!
Donât you have the slightest bit of affection left?â
Sherry held back her tears, asking with a sob. However, instead of softening Old Madam Jones, her words received a round of hard time from Snowden.
â How dare you talk back? Should the decisions of our grandmother be questioned by you? Donât forget, your family was the one who put us in this mess!
If you all hadnât been helping that bastard, would our Jones family be in such a predicament?
Considering what your father and that bastard did, not just scattering his ashes, it wouldnât be too much even to fry his remains in cooking oil!â Snowden berated relentlessly.
At this point, Mori Jones really couldnât stand it anymore. She walked to Old Madam Jones and advised, âMom, your second son is a member of our Jones family, after all. If this got out, it wouldnât be good for the reputation of our Jones family.â
Upon hearing Moriâs advice, the mood of Old Madam Jones finally improved a bit. However, at this time, Snowden stepped forward again, saying, âAunt, listen to yourself, do we, the Jones family, still have a reputation left?
Otherwise, why donât you give out the 10 million that the Woods family demanded? Or you could go and ask the Coopers for it? See if they give you any face?
Whatâs most important now is to make that bastard return and apologize to Mr. Finn Woods. You canât even take care of yourself, and still thinking about others!? Ridiculous!â
Snowden sneered again, and at this time, a middle-aged woman also stood out with a weird voice: âOur Snowden is right, Aunt, youâd better take care of yourself.
That guy is an outsider after all, not from our Jones family. If you get too close and the Coopers find out, they might think somethingâs going on between the two of you.
Then our Jones family will suffer.â
The middle-aged woman was even more acerbic than Snowden, as if they were cut from the same cloth.
Indeed, as she was Snowdenâs mother, Amanda!
âYou all!â
Facing these insults from the mother and son duo, Mori Jones was trembling with anger. Even her eyes turned as red as Sherryâs.
Seeing this, Sherry felt uncomfortable. She spoke out, âAunt, thank you, but, everyone should bear their own responsibilities, you donât need to worry about me anymore.â
âSilly girl, you, sighâ¦â
Mori Jones sighed and looked at Sherry sorrowfully. After hesitating for a
while, she decided to secretly send a message to White Mitchell.
She was there when everything transpired last night. Although it wasnât confirmed yet, she had a feeling that the chaos at the Woods family might be the result of a phone call from White Mitchell.
And now, Old Madam Jones is adamant about him returning. He is the only one who could help Sherry out of this predicament now.
In fact, when Mori Jones sent out the message, White Mitchell was already on his way to the Jones family home.
Upon receiving Moriâs message, his idea was confirmed that the naive Sherry really wanted to bear all this by herself.
âLittle sister, wait for me. I wonât let anyone bully you! Never!!!â
Bang!
With his foot pressing the gas pedal to the floor, the Warrior Armored Vehicle driven by White was like a runaway horse speeding through the streets of Sayon, heading straight for the Jones familyâs mansionâ¦.
