The Jones Family members were eagerly looking at Mori, all wanting to know from her who they had offended.
Mori silently glanced at them. Although it was only her speculation, all the recent events seemed to be related to White Mitchell.
She had always guessed that White had some extraordinary power.
The crisis that the Jones Family was facing this time was likely orchestrated by him, and the purpose was to seek justice for Sherry.
After all, the members of the Jones Family were so harsh on Sherry, even Mori found it intolerable, let alone White, who was childhood friends with Sherry.
Although the Jones Familyâs current predicament was self-inflicted, it was still her home. Mori didnât want to see it destroyed.
So, after a struggle in her heart, she slowly said Whiteâs name.
âWhite Mitchell? The bastard youâre talking about? How is that possible? Mori, stop joking!â
As soon as Mori opened her mouth, Amanda blurted out. Her tone was full of disdain and scepticism.
âMori, did you not wake up? How could a man whoâs just been released from prison have such capability?â Snowden Jones scoffed.
âRight, younger sister, your guess is illogical. Anyone else would be possible, but White Mitchell? How does he have such ability?â Will Jones didnât want to believe it either.
Mori gave a bitter smile, seeming to have anticipated their reaction.
But she insisted, âI know you all donât want to believe it. But, this is the result of my conjecture.
Mom, do you still remember what White said when he left the house yesterday?
He said those words yesterday, and today our family is in trouble. Donât you also think this is a coincidence?â
The Jones members looked gloomy upon hearing this but still did not want to believe Moriâs speculation.
After all, in their eyes, White was a star of disaster, a calamity, a bastard. For many years they have always thought so. Suddenly making them acknowledge that White has such skills, they were unwilling to believe.
âI think this is just a coincidence!â Amanda asserted: âHe was the curse of our Jones Family. As long as he shows up, thereâll be no good happening.
In the past, my brother-in-law emptied the familyâs funds to help him start a business. Now itâs because of him. The moment he returned, our Jones Family has faced disasters one after another.
In my opinion, heâs utterly incompatible with our family. He should roll as far as he can, preferably back to prison, so we donât have to see him and feel annoyed.â
Upon hearing Amandaâs words, Mori laugh helplessly. This person really was beyond salvation. Even in such a crisis, she still wanted to shift the blame on others.
At this moment, Mori felt even more disillusioned with this family.
Old Madam Jones, who had been frowning and silent, after much hesitation, finally spoke: âMori, do you have any evidence to support your speculation?â
Upon hearing this, Mori shook her head, feeling disheartened: âTheyâre all my guesses. If you donât believe in them, then thereâs nothing I can do. Weâll just wait for our family to be destroyed.â
After hearing Moriâs words, Old Madam Jones showed a hint of resentment but did not lash out. Instead, she spoke in a deep voice: âIâll trust you this once.â
Then, Old Madam Jones turned to Snowden and said: âSnowden, go with Mori. On behalf of our Jones Family, apologize to White Mitchell.â
âGrandma! Why should I apologize to that bastard? I wonât do it!â Snowden protested, saying. There was no way she would bow down to White.
Upon hearing this, Old Madam Jonesâs face immediately darkened, and she scolded: âWe canât rely on the Bright Family now, we can only try Moriâs way. Canât you make a little sacrifice?
If you agree to go, when you marry Jacob, I will still give you ten percent of the shares and let you marry into the Bright Family in style.
âBut if you donât go today, you should forget about getting a single penny from the Jones Family!â
âGrandma, you!â Snowden Jones was left speechless, her pretty face full of resentment.
Old Madam Jones ignored Snowden, acting as if she hadnât noticed her expression, and turned to Mori Jones, saying, âIf we, the Jones Family, manage to pull through this time, then I will believe your words.â
Mori Jones just gave a wry smile upon hearing this and didnât say anything more.
She walked directly to Snowden Jones and casually said, âArenât you coming?â Snowden Jones glared, stamped her foot angrily, and then reluctantly followed them.
Old Madam Jones let out a heavy sigh as she watched the retreating figures of Mori Jones and Snowden Jones. She became listless, looking much older all of a sudden.
At this moment, inside the hotel where White Mitchell and Sherry Jones were staying, Sherry maintained a downcast expression, and no matter how White tried to comfort her, she remained despondent.
She was filled with self-blame, feeling that if only she were stronger, the Jones Family wouldnât make things difficult for her and White Mitchell.
If only she could become the CEO of the Jones Family, then she would be able to fulfill her fatherâs last wishes and also help White Mitchell overturn his charges and clear his name.
But now, it was all too late. She blamed herself for being incapable and for not gaining the approval of the Jones Family, which had led to the current situation.
âBrother, Iâm sorry, itâs all my fault. Iâm useless, not only am I unable to help you, I even dragged you into all of these troubles with the Jones Familyâ¦â After saying this, her eyes reddened once again.
Seeing Sherry like this, White Mitchell hurriedly and patiently comforted her, âItâs not your fault. Even if you were more capable, they would not have let you be the CEO.
When it comes down to it, their actions are whatâs causing their loss. Their inability to see your worth is a reflection of their lack of vision.
However, I believe they will regret it soon. Maybe theyâll even come to beg for your return.â
Hearing White Mitchellâs comforting words made Sherry Jones feel even more bitter. How could that be possible? They had made their position clear yesterday; thereâs no way they would allow me to return.
âBrother, actually, Iâve thought about it. Iâd be willing to serve as Snowdenâs deputy. Itâs better than my current situation,â Sherry Jones said, heartbroken.
White Mitchell reached out and lightly scratched her cute little nose, smiled, and said, âHow could that be? I told you that you can definitely become the CEO. Donât you trust me?â
Sherry Jones rolled her eyes at him and, fighting back tears, she broke into a smile, âAll you do is brag. If you keep this up, I might just stop crying out of embarrassment.â
Seeing Sherry Jones finally crack a smile, White Mitchell also started laughing. At this moment, there was a knock at the door.
âSherry, are you in there? Itâs me, Mori,â Mori Jonesâs voice came from the other side of the door.
Sherry Jones was startled and looked at White Mitchell in confusion, âWhat is Mori doing here?â
Upon hearing this, White Mitchell said, teasingly, âMaybe, sheâs here with the
Jones Family to apologize and ask for your return?â
When Sherry Jones heard this, she gave him a glare, âQuit your bluffing, youâre about to burst your own bubble.â
âYou donât believe me? If you donât, letâs make a bet. If Iâm right, you agree to marry me. What do you say?â White Mitchell suggested with a grin.
Sherry Jones blushed and spat at White Mitchell, âYouâre always joking around. Nowâs not the time, Iâm ignoring you. Iâm going to open the door.â
After saying this, Sherry Jones ran off to open the door, her face flushed and her ears burning.
But the moment she opened the door, she froze in her tracks, her expression turned ice cold and she said with disdain, âSnowden Jones? What are you doing here?â
