Why is it Connor Cooper?
Mori Jones was frozen on the spot, her emotions unsettled for a while.
At this moment, everyone in the Jones family, as well as the father and son of the Woods family, were looking at her with what could almost be described as a mocking gaze.
But at this moment, Mori had no time to care about what others were thinking, she just hoped that Rhett could step in and help Sherry this time.
So, after careful consideration, Mori mustered courage and said, âConnor⦠can I speak to your dad, is he near the phone?â
Moriâs tone was gentle, even somewhat subservient.
At this time, from the other end of the line came Connorâs mocking voice, âMy dad? Heâs right here. Oh, by the way, my grandpa is also here.
You really didnât disappoint me, you worthless woman. As soon as I mentioned youâd probably try to cozy up to the Cooper family, you called. You really are shameless!â
Listening to these harsh words, Moriâs face visibly slackened, becoming somewhat bitter.
However, the mockery on the other end of the phone didnât stop. Connor continued to mock, âThink my family will help you? Dream on, you can forget about latching onto the Cooper family in this lifetime!
My grandpa sends a warning, donât use the Cooper name to stir up trouble outside, you have nothing to do with my family!
Look after yourself, why are you even concerned about others? Be careful or youâll end up biting off more than you can chew!â
Du-du-duâ¦
After ridiculing Mori, Connor hung up the phone without giving her any chance to explain.
Hearing these words, filled with contempt, Mori was deflated, like a frost-struck eggplant.
Seeing her dejected look, Snowden Jones immediately mocked, âWhy did you do that? Look, youâve embarrassed yourself. Connor was right, youâre not a member of the Cooper family, thereâs no connection!
Now look what happened, not only have you embarrassed yourself, youâve also embarrassed us by association.
Iâve advised you before, clean up your own mess first, but you donât listen and try to put yourself out there? Consider if you have the resources!â
Amanda also didnât hold back, âAre you satisfied now? Itâll be harder for you to enter the Cooperâs house again. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Was it worth it for this snotnose and this dead girl? Heh hehâ¦â
The words from Amanda and her daughter were like knives to Moriâs already wounded heart, making another deep cut.
She silently stood in place, her strength seemingly drained from her, she seemed lost.
It was at this moment that White Mitchell, who had been seated all this while, silently stood up, with Sherry following right behind him.
They quietly stood beside Mori.
âThank you for your kindness, Mori. I remember it. But I, White Mitchell, do not regard the Woods as a threat, â White Mitchell calmly stated.
He was indifferent, speaking as if he were discussing an insignificant matter.
Amanda and her daughter burst out laughing upon hearing his words.
âWhite Mitchell, at a time like this, do you think anyone really believes your grandiose statements? A recently jailed person disregarding the Woods?
Do you think you have that capacity? Is it because of your Three-legged Cat Kung Fu?
The world is filled with skilled fighters. Does it have any use? Even very skilled, can you fight against money? Ridiculous!â Amanda mocked.
As her voice trailed off, Snowden also followed up with her derision, âIf I didnât know you inside and out, I might almost have been fooled.
Not knowing oneâs place, why not take a pee and look at yourself. Instead of just bragging and talking big, you tarnish the reputation of the Jones family and we have to suffer along with you!â
Despite their mockery, White Mitchellâs face remained indifferent, impervious to their words.
He further calmly stated, âYou donât believe, because the world you see is different from mine.
Not to mention the minuscule Woods, I could make them disappear in a moment. Even the Cooper family and the Imperial Group, which you regard as formidable.
As long as I want, I can destroy them instantly!â
As White Mitchell stated these words, he was not only indifferent, but also exuded profound confidence, as if everything was under his control.
However, evidently, nobody in the Jones family paid any heed to his words; they just felt he was being stubborn and refused to admit his incompetence.
âWhite Mitchell! How dare you! If your words were to spread, do you know the disaster it would bring to the Jones family!?!
Are we not suffering enough for you? You wretch! â Old Madam Jones yelled out angrily.
But White Mitchell was unfazed which enraged Old Madam Jones even more. She wished she was able to sew his mouth shut.
At this point, the Woods father and son were obviously running out of patience. Finn Woods, exasperated, urged, âEnough talk, hand over my wife immediately!
If you donât, we at the Woods will make life unbearable for the Jones!â Whoosh!
Compared to White Mitchellâs threats, Finn Woodsâ words posed a greater threat to the Jones family.
At this moment, everyone in the Jones family shuddered in fear.
Old Madam Jones glanced at Sherry the moment she heard this, admonishing her with a cold voice, âSherry! What are you waiting for? Are you not going with Mr. Young?!
Youâve long been part of the Woods family, you have your own home, why are you still clinging to us at the Jones?!
You have married into the Woods family so follow their rules; why do you keep associating with this brat. What exactly is your intention?!â
Seeing this, Amanda took this opportunity to add fuel to the fire, âExactly, one Mori Jones is already embarrassing enough for our family.
Now, another one like you, where is our family Jones to put our faces?â Whoosh!
Upon hearing these words, Sherryâs eyes welled up with tears, clearly, they were the ones forcing her, so how did this become her fault? How could they still pressure her so self-righteously?
Isnât a daughter of the Jones family also a person?
Sherryâs face was filled with grief and her tears were about to fall, âGrandma, isnât a daughter of the Jones family a human being too?â
Upon hearing this, Old Madam Jonesâs face instantly darkened and she yelled in fury, âImpudent! Who gave you the right to talk like that?
Iâm telling you, youâre already married off, today, regardless, youâre going back with Mr. Woods, otherwise, we in the Jones family will deny ever knowing Logan Jones or having a granddaughter named Sherry! Get out!â With a slam, furious Old Madam Jones jabbed her cane into the floor.
âGrandma, you!â
Sherryâs face turned ashy pale, her tears finally falling uncontrollably..
