Sayon, Jones Family.
Antonio Woods and his son walked into the Jones home with insolence,
treating it as if there was no one around, totally disregarding the presence of the Jones family members.
âOh! Look at the crowd. Having a meeting, are we?â Finn Woods casually sneered as he walked in, immediately turning his gaze to Sherry Jones, an expression of greed on his face.
Sherry Jones met his gaze head on, a loathsome expression instantaneously appearing on her face.
At this moment, the Jones family members, upon seeing the Woods father and son, all wore obsequiously ingratiating expressions.
âLord Woods, young Lord Woods, please, have a seat, have a seat.â Old Madam Jones plastered on a smile and rushed to welcome them.
She then turned to Sherry Jones and commanded, âSherry! What are you standing around for? Wonât you show the Woods men to their seats?â
Sherry Jones wore an extremely disgusted expression, about to stand up, but was held back by White Mitchell.
Upon seeing this scene, the members of the Jones family displayed an immediate expression of hatred.
Amanda chastised immediately, âWhite Mitchell! What do you think youâre doing!? Sherry is a daughter-in-law of the Woods family, isnât it proper for her to attend to her husband and father-in-law? Do you have no idea about respect and hierarchy?â
âExactly, as her sister, I canât bear to watch. Sherry, have all those lessons about docility and respect we taught you in the Jones family gone in one ear and out the other? Youâre embarrassing us!â sneered Snowden Jones.
The Woods father and son, upon hearing these words, became even more arrogant, casting scornful glances at White Mitchell and Sherry Jones, hinting that if Sherry didnât serve them, they werenât going to sit.
Seeing this, Old Madam Jones hastened to plead, âLord Woods, young Lord Woods, I beg you not to hold it against us. Sherry wasnât always like this.
Itâs all White Mitchellâs fault. Good thing youâre taking her back today, please teach her some manners on our behalf.â
Boom!
Upon hearing Old Madam Jonesâ words, something seemed to explode in Sherry Jonesâ head, and her eyes turned red instantly.
At this moment, Mori Jones couldnât bear to watch any longer and came to Sherryâs defense, âMother, all thatâs in the past, isnât it?
You know well enough that Sherry never wanted to marry into the Woods family. And werenât they apologetic back then?â
âMori! Shut up!â As soon as Mori had finished speaking, Old Madam Jones sharply reprimanded her.
At this, the Woods father and son let out a cold laugh, saying openly, âWe were deceived by that guy back then. If Iâd known he was a like that, would I have let him snatch my daughter-in-law?â
Finn Woods said these words with complete contempt, even a sense of derision.
After hearing his words, not only did the Jones family not come to Sherryâs defense, but Amanda went so far as to kick her while she was down, âSee, I told you that guy was all talk! Has the bubble of his boasting burst now?
Does he still think heâs the chairman of Imperial Group? He should look in the mirror; if he goes to the Imperial Group now, would they even let him live?
Huh!â
After saying these words, Amanda gave Mori a triumphant look, her eyes filled with provocation.
Moriâs face turned red with anger, but she still firmly defended, âMother! The Jones family has already sacrificed Sherry once. Without mincing words, we sold our daughter.
We tried it once and it didnât work out. Are you going to throw her back into the fire again?â
Whoosh!
At her words, the entire Jones family fell silent. In the vast Jones residence, only Mori dared to say such things.
At this time, the faces of the Woods father and son darkened, and Finn Woods openly cursed, âWhen did other people have the right to meddle in my and my daughter-in-lawâs matters!?â
âShut your mouth!â
Furious, Mori swiftly turned around and directly reprimanded Finn Woods, âIf you donât want to provoke the Cooper family, behave yourselves today!â The Cooper family?
Upon hearing this name, the Woods father and sonâs expressions became reluctant.
But then Finn Woods thought of Connor Cooperâs behavior towards Mori at the wedding ceremony. His face immediately turned cold.
âCooper family? Youâre worthy enough to mention the Coopers? Youâre nothing more than a mistress Rhett keeps, and you think youâre eligible to say this?â Finn Woods sneered.
âYou!â Mori Jones was immediately choked with anger.
At this moment, Amanda, who was part of the Jones family, added fuel to the fire, âLook, my dear sister-in-law, everybody knows about your affairs.
And now, you dare to mention the Coopers? Could it be that you sincerely believe that the Cooper family will listen to the words of an insignificant person like you?
What a joke!â
Snowden Jones also joined in to needle her, âSister-in-law, youâve got your hands full with your own mess and youâre still trying to meddle in other peopleâs affairs?
I would advise you to save your breath. If the Coopers find out that such a nobody like you dares to use their name in your dealings, you wonât just be denied entry into their household.
If you drag the Jones Family into this, then itâll be a significant issue!â
Gulp!
Upon hearing these words, Mori Jonesâs eyes turned red in an instant. Were these really her relatives?
âSister-in-lawâ¦â Sherry Jones, at this point, really couldnât bear to see Mori Jones suffering for her sake.
However, just as she was about to speak out, Mori Jones shook her head at her and then resolutely said, âDonât worry, no matter what, I wonât let them take you away today!â
After saying this, Mori Jones immediately took out her phone, found Rhettâs number and then solemnly said, âAlthough Iâm not part of the Cooper family yet,
with the kind of relationship I have with them, if I want to take down the Woods Family, do you think it would be difficult?â
Huh?
Upon hearing this, the father-son duo of the Woods family turned stiff and their faces darkened.
They frowned, looking at Mori Jones uneasily.
Indeed, even though Mori Jones currently had no status in the Cooper family, she was, after all, Rhettâs woman.
If Rhett genuinely sided with her, the Woods Family was definitely not a match for the Coopers.
At this thought, the faces of the Woods father-son duo turned gloomier than ever.
At that moment, Mori Jones had already dialed Rhettâs number, and even put it on speaker.
âHelloâ¦Hello, Lord Rhett.â The moment the phone connected, Mori Jones sounded somewhat anxious, but when she thought of what Sherry was going through, her eyes once again hardened with resolve.
âHmm!â
On the other end of the call, thereâs nothing but a dull response, but even this simple answer is enough to make everyone on the scene anxious.
Especially the Woods father-son duo, who were even ready to flee on the spot, with their hearts in their throats.
Mori Jones noticed this, took a deep breath, and continued, âLord Rhett, my niece here is in some trouble and I was hoping you could help. Iâve never asked you for anything before.
But this time, I sincerely need you to help Sherry and White. They are good kids.â
After saying this, Mori Jones anxiously stared at the phone, nervously waiting for the response from the other end of the line.
At that moment, everyone was on tenterhooks, waiting. It was as if time had stopped.
But despite several seconds passing, there was nothing but silence on the other end of the line. After a while, Mori Jones couldnât help but frown.
Just as Mori was getting a bit uneasy, a childish voice suddenly came from the phone, âHahaha⦠I knew this shameless bitch would call. Look, look, itâs her, itâs reallyâ¦â
Con⦠Connor Cooper!?
Whoosh!
Mori Jones, upon hearing this voice, was as stunned as if she had been hit by lightning, and stood rooted to the spot!
