âGrandma, this IOU was personally signed by Longman Jack, he personally handed it to me, and told me himself, I am not lying.â Sherry Jones was on the edge of tears.
Nevertheless, Amanda continued to look at her in disdain, her expression a mixture of mockery and sarcasm.
âEnough! Stop wailing. If the companyâs staff see you, they might think weâre being harsh on you, Jones family. Go in.â Old Madam Jones said grumpily.
She had a smidgen of hope for Sherry, but after hearing what she said, she didnât feel the slightest bit inclined to believe her.
Longman Jack himself gave her an IOU?
What a joke, unless the sun rises from the west, such good fortune couldnât possibly be bestowed on Sherry Jones.
However, for the sake of Mori Jones, she had no choice but to go through with it.
With these thoughts in mind, Old Madam Jones walked straight into the company without so much as a glance at Sherry.
Eventually, Mori Jones came over to Sherry and comforted her quietly: âItâll be okay, Auntie believes you. Once they finish checking the accounts later, everything will be clear.â
In truth, Mori had another thought. She believed White Mitchell more than Sherry.
For some reason, she always found White Mitchell to be an extraordinary individual, especially when he spoke so confidently yesterday at the Jones house. There must be something going on that she was not aware of.
After a while, Mori took Sherry into the Jones Group and straight to the office of Snowden Jonesâ father, Will Jones.
Upon seeing Old Madam Jones, Will Jones put down his work and greeted her eagerly: âMother, how come youâre here? You didnât even give any notice.â
Before Old Madam Jones could reply, Amanda spoke: âMother came to slap someoneâs face.â
Slap someoneâs face?
Will Jones was taken aback, then promptly noticed Mori and Sherry who had followed in behind him.
At this sight, he seemed to understand; Amandaâs âsomeoneâ must be referring to Sherry.
âWill, this girl claims to have taken care of the debt we owe to Longman Jack without spending a penny, and furthermore, Longman Jack compensated the Jones family a sum of $10 million.
You think this is possible? Longman Jack runs a finance company, to put it bluntly, it operates on usury finance.
Iâve never heard of a loan shark not only forgiving a debt, but actually having to compensate the debtor. Iâm really interested to see this. Will, why donât you check the accounts right away and see if there really is this $10 million!â Amanda said sarcastically.
Hearing this, Will Jones hardened his face and coldly told Sherry: âNonsense!
Do you think you can make jokes about these things?â
With a look of grievance on her face, Sherry didnât respond. Seeing this, Mori quickly took her under her wing: âBig brother, it doesnât take a lot of time to check the accounts. Just give the order.â
Will Jones glared at Mori, but before he could say anything, Snowden Jones, who had received news of Old Madam Jonesâ visit, came hurrying over.
After hearing what had happened, she couldnât help but burst into laughter: âHahaha⦠Sherry, Sherry, who gave you this absurd advice?
Letâs not even talk about whether you could see Longman Jack. Even if you did, do you think he is a fool like you?
Even a three-year-old wouldnât believe such a lie. Since you want to lose face, Iâll let everyone in the company come and see just how massive your embarrassment is!â
Snowden then grandiosely called the companyâs finance officers over, ordering them to carry out the audit in front of everyone.
Everyone in Jones Groupâs office stopped their work; even the receptionist took interest and stuck her nose in. Things were certainly getting lively.
Seeing this, a rich smile spread across Snowdenâs face.
âCome on, everyone. Letâs see the $10 million performance that our Miss Sherry Jones has brought in for the company!â Snowden proclaimed, her arrogant voice carrying across the office.
Upon receiving the command, the finance staff wasted no time, quickly logged onto their work platform, and pulled up the companyâs bank statements.
Hmm?
The staff who originally didnât expect anything, suddenly paused, and a look of surprise crossed her face as she stared at the screen, completely speechless.
What?
Seeing her hesitate, Snowden frowned and forcibly pulled her away from the desk. âYouâre so slow at doing a simple task. Whatâs wrong? If you donât want to work, just say it!â
âNo ⦠itâs not that, itâsâ¦â stumbling over her words, the staff memberâs stuttering only increased Snowdenâs impatience.
âWhat is it? Get out of my way, Iâll check it myself!â Snowden swept the woman aside and took her place in front of the computer.
On the computer screen was the $10 million transfer from the account of Longman Jack.
wow!
Stone-faced, all Snowden could feel was a burning sensation on her cheek, as though she had been slapped.
âSnowden, whatâs the result? Has the money arrived?â Amanda walked over to Snowden and looked at the computer screen.
The next moment, the look on Amandaâs face matched Snowden as she froze, unable to believe what she was seeing.
âThis⦠thisâ¦
Amanda began to stutter just like the financial staff, pointing at the screen, unable to return to her senses.
Seeing the pairâs facial expressions, Old Madam Jones and Will Jones also couldnât help but lean over. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
All of them were dumbfounded now, expressions frozen.
Itâs $10 million!
Truly! $10 million!
And the depositor was indeed Nine Dragons Finance Company, Longman Jackâs finance company.
wow!
At this point, all the members of the Jones family were thrown off, all stupefied as if they were looking at a mirage.
After seeing their expressions, Mori couldnât help but tease Amanda: âNow, the money has arrived, you canât say anything now, right?
Or do you still not believe it? Should we make a call to Longman Jackâs company and confirm?â
âYou!â
Amanda was taken aback, unable to find a suitable retort for a moment.
Meanwhile, Snowden was staring at the computer screen, muttering to herself: âImpossible, this is absolutely impossible, how could Longman Jack do such a thing?
Sherry must have done something behind our backs. We canât keep this money, Grandma, we canât keep this money!
Keeping this money will bring major trouble. What if Longman Jack wants to settle accounts later, this $10 million will serve as evidence! Then our whole family will be implicated! â
Hearing Snowdenâs passionate words, Old Madam Jones also fell into deep thought.
Just then, there was a commotion outside the office of Jones Group. âWhatâs going on? Is there no one in Jones Group? â
âWhere is everyone? Someone hurry out, we need to sign a contract!â
âIs anybody here? We are from Ossie Company, and we are here to sign a channel agreement with Jones Group..â
