The Jones family members were all staring wide-eyed and dumbfounded at the spectacle before them, struggling to comprehend what was happening.
âGranny, granny, grannyâ¦â The first to snap back to reality was Snowden Jones, who hurriedly reminded Old Madam Jones, âGranny, sign the agreement quickly. That way, we can get GH Company back.â
At this moment, Snowdenâs mother, Amanda, also recovered her wits and rushed to remind Old Madam Jones as well.
In their eyes, the Thomas Family was practically delivering GH Company on a silver platter.
As long as Old Madam Jones, acting as their representative, signed on the transfer agreement, then from that moment on, recovering GH Company would have nothing to do with Sherry Jones and White Mitchell.
Thus, out of the three conditions, they would always fail to meet one.
Their wish to regain the company was destined to end up in smoke.
âHa! And they thought they could outsmart me? Dreaming of getting the company back? In your dreams!â Snowden Jones sneered in delight in her heart.
Elsewhere, Amanda couldnât help but shoot a knowing look at Snowden Jones. Clearly, they were both scheming the same thing.
Old Madam Jones too came to her senses at this point and immediately profusely thanked Blake Thomas, âMr. Thomas, youâre really too kind. Such a thing, why did you have to make the trip yourself? Had you told us about this earlier, we Jones family would have gone over ourselves. Now, about the transfer feesâ¦?â
Old Madam Jones looked at Blake Thomas with hopeful eyes. Of course, she didnât want the transfer fees to be high, as the current financial condition of the Jones Family was quite dire.
âNo need, no need, it wonât cost a penny. As long as youâre willing to sign this transfer agreement, GH Company will immediately be yours.â Blake Thomas said sincerely, with a notable hint of fear.
Whoosh!
Upon hearing this news, the faces of everyone in the Jones Family all broke out in joyous smiles, feeling even more elated than during the Lunar New Year.
âIs⦠Is there such a good thing?â The smile on Old Madam Jonesâ face couldnât be contained, blossoming into a broad and happy grin.
Blake Thomas nodded his head like a pecking chicken, in his terrified look, there was a touch of genuineness.
From his demeanor, it seemed as if he couldnât wait to hand over GH Company to the Jones Family, as if holding onto GH Company was like holding onto a hot potato.
Seeing this, the Jones Family members felt a wave of thrilling joy.
No money required, isnât this the biggest steal for the Jones family?
They could never have dreamed that such a fortunate event could befall them.
This is GH Company weâre talking about!
Back before Logan Jones mortgaged GH Company, the companyâs valuation was estimated at five to six million.
With the development over these years, the current value of GH Company must be at least several tens of millions.
To the Jones family, this was akin to a windfall from heaven.
Old Madam Jones, at this thought, was so overwhelmed with emotion she was on the brink of tears.
Then, she hastily asked someone to bring over a pen to sign the contract, âSign, Mr. Thomas, rest assured, I will sign immediately.â
Upon hearing this, Blake Thomas couldnât help but breathe a huge sigh of relief, feeling as if a great burden had been lifted.
Finally, he managed to transfer GH Company back to the Jones family. Now, David Herb, over there, shouldnât target him anymore, right?
And what about Mr. Mitchell, was he satisfied now?
He hadnât slacked off in the slightest.
In no time at all, a pen for Old Madam Jones to sign the contract was brought over. Blake Thomas, seeing this, hurriedly presented the contract.
However, just as Blake Thomas was eagerly waiting for Old Madam Jones to sign, his cell phone ringing in his pocket startled him.
Checking his phone, Blake Thomasâs face transformed instantaneously, once again assuming a fearful and uneasy expression.
Shortly after, Blake Thomas hurriedly answered his phone, saying respectfully: âHelloâ¦Hello Mr. Herb, Iâm currently at the Jones Family residence, theyâre ready to sign the contract.
What? Sherry Jones must sign it, right? Sheâs at the Jonesâ living room now?
Okay, okay, Iâll handle it immediately, Iâll get it done right away.â
Hmm!
Blake Thomasâs words abruptly halted the smiles on the faces of the Jones family members.
At that moment, it was as if time had come to a standstill for them.
An astonished expression dawned on each of their faces.
Thisâ¦
Miss Sherry Jones?
Sherry Jones must sign?
The members of the Jones family froze for several seconds, unable to respond.
At this moment, Blake Thomas silently retrieved the contract from Old Madam Jones.
The moment the contract left her hands, a deep disappointment played across Old Madam Jonesâ face, as if the prize she sought was now out of reach.
âMadam Jones, may I ask where Miss Sherry Jones is? She must sign this contract, no one else will do.â Blake Thomas asked seriously.
wow!
At this moment, the members of the Jones family, shocked by what they had heard, finally reacted; a look of surprise spread across each of their faces.
âWhy⦠Why must that disobedient Sherry sign? Did the Thomas Family make a mistake?â Amanda asked, her voice filled with agitation. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Upon hearing this, Blake Thomasâs features darkened, and he glared at Amanda fiercely: âAunt! Mind your own mouth! Otherwise, I donât mind helping you shut it! â
Amanda immediately recoiled in fear upon hearing the threat.
âMr. Thomas, donât be angry, donât be angry. See, we are all members of the Jones family, It doesnât matter who signs, since itâs all for the Jones family, why specific Sherry?â Snowden Jones tried to mediate.
But upon hearing these words, Blake Thomasâs face grew even darker: âWhere is all this nonsense coming from? Do you have a say in this? Today, this contract must be signed by Miss Sherry Jones!â
Snowden Jones was rendered speechless, unsure of how to retort.
A flabbergasted Old Madam Jones stood frozen in place, at a loss of what to do next.
Seeing the grim expressions on the faces of the Jones family members, Blake
Thomas grew impatient and said, âMake way, make way, I need to find Miss Sherry Jones.â
Thisâ¦.
The members of the Jones family watched helplessly as Blake Thomas came swaggering into their home, no one daring to offend him.
Meanwhile, Sherry Jones was in the living room of the Jones residence, her face clouded with worry, concerned about what Old Madam Jones might say to White Mitchell on her return.
Staring anxiously at White Mitchell, Sherry spoke, âBrother, perhaps you should apologize to grandma.
I know you were defending me and that you were doing it for my sake, but itâs my responsibility. I donât want to get you involved.
Even though they can be harsh, at least, at least they could broker a deal, or elseâ¦.â
Sherry was on the verge of tears, but White Mitchell remained calm. He comforted her, saying: âDonât worry, the Thomas family will be here soon, begging you to take their company.â
Hearing this, Sherry sighed with resignation, bitterness filling her heart. She couldnât bear to shatter Whiteâs optimism.
If the Thomas family were that easy to deal with, things wouldnât have come this far.
Just as Sherry was mired in self-blame, Blake Thomas appeared urgently in the living roomâ¦.
