Translator: 549690339

“You!”

Elijah Bailey was left fuming in rage, unable to utter a word of retort for the moment.

At this time, Sherry Jones also wore a difficult expression on her face. Her mouth moved slightly as if she was preparing an explanation to Antonio Woods and Blake Thomas.

However, before she could speak, she saw the anger written all over Antonio Woods and Blake Thomas’s faces.

Seeing their expressions, Sherry’s heart sank and her expression grew serious.

Could they both be angry?

If so, wouldn’t her chances to negotiate the 50 million dollars debt be lost?

Just when Sherry was filled with worry, Antonio Woods strode up to Will Jones and kicked him.

“Bastard! I asked you to repay the money, and you dare to shift the debt onto Miss Jones!? Are you tired of living!?” Antonio glared menacingly at Will Jones.

On the other side, Blake Thomas also stepped forward without hesitation and gave Will a hard kick, immediately flipping him onto his back.

They were here to please Sherry, not to cause her more trouble.

If this reached White Mitchell’s ears, would they even be able to continue their business in Sayon?

Bastard Will Jones, how dare he ruin their plans?

It seemed that without giving him a taste of punishment, he wouldn’t learn his lesson!

With that thought, Blake Thomas stepped forward, glaring fiercely at Will Jones and said, “Wasn’t it you, Will Jones, who said it was just a trivial matter?

Fine, let’s see how you solve it!

Repay the money, 50 million dollars, even a penny less and I’ll break your leg!”

This…what the hell !!!

Will Jones was stunned, and his arrogant face immediately wore a terrified expression.

What on earth is going on here?

Weren’t the two of them here for money?

Now even though he had used Sherry as a scapegoat, how come they were still not satisfied?

And they actually mentioned letting him settle this debt?

What could he possibly use to pay it off, selling himself wouldn’t be worth that much money either!

Suddenly, the shocked and anxious expression on Will’s face turned into a ghostly pale color.

He lay on the ground, pleading, “Mr. Woods, Mr. Thomas, what exactly is going on? Didn’t I say that Sherry would repay the money? How come…”

“You dare to say that again!?”

Upon hearing this, both Antonio Woods and Blake Thomas were even more furious. In their anger, they kicked Will Jones a few more times.

The sound of Will’s hysterical screams echoed around the scene.

All the staff members observed without saying a word. No one stood up for him, including Ryan, who hid on the side, showing a very reluctant and nervous expression, fearing that he might get involved.

As for Elijah Bailey and the others, seeing this scene filled them with great joy. This was simply a great satisfaction. If not for the conditions, they would love to set off some fireworks to celebrate.

Finally, it was Sherry Jones who couldn’t bear to see it anymore. She worried that if this went on, someone might be killed, which would be bad for the reputation of the Jones Group.

Therefore, Sherry Jones spoke up to dissuade Antonio Woods and Blake Thomas.

However, when she spoke up, Will Jones showed no gratitude, and he continued to shout, “Sherry Jones! Are you finally speaking up? Do you want me to get beaten to death?!

You’d better hurry up and get the money to pay back Mr. Woods and Mr. Thomas!”

“You!”

Sherry was at a loss for words, she was being kind to him only to receive ungratefulness in return?

Sure enough, when they heard what Will Jones had to say, Antonio Woods and Blake Thomas became even rougher. In a flash, Will Jones’s face was left bruised and swollen.

In the end, Will Jones did not know how long he had been beaten. When he came to, he was already in the hospital.

After Antonio Woods and Blake Thomas had finished teaching Will Jones a lesson, they turned to Sherry Jones with earnest expressions, and had the gifts sent to Sherry Jones’s office.

There were numerous gifts, including precious Chinese medicinal herbs such as deer antlers and Lingzhi mushrooms, as well as various jewelry like diamond necklaces.

All these things piled up, forming a small mountain in Sherry’s office.

It’s needless to say the value of these items, these treasures were from the collections of Antonio Woods and Blake Thomas’s families. The total value was in the hundreds of millions.

Seeing all these valuable gifts, even Sherry was slightly taken aback. She failed to comprehend Antonio Woods and Blake Thomas’s intentions.

She had originally invited them over to discuss the repayment, but instead of repaying the money, she had received so many gifts.

Not just that, they seemed to be forcing all these gifts into her hands as if they were worried she wouldn’t accept them. She wasn’t someone of great importance or a high-ranking official. Why were they so eager to please her?

Sherry Jones was finding it all so funny it hurt. She didn’t realize that they were actually pulling a stunt, trying to brown-nose White Mitchell through her.

Then, she led Elijah Bailey into the conference room where Antonio Woods and Blake Thomas awaited.

Gifts were gifts, but the problems that need to be solved had to be tended to.

What made Sherry laugh even more was that when faced with the debt of fifty million that she had mentioned, Antonio Woods and Blake Thomas chose to play dumb.

“Fifty million? What fifty million? Thomas, do you know anything about this?” Antonio Woods feigned ignorance.

Blake Thomas slapped his head: “It’s fifty million, right? We have a fifty million project for Miss Jones, don’t we, Woods? Have you forgotten?”

Antonio Woods immediately displayed an expression of sudden realization: “Oh right right right, I do remember something like that.”

And just like that, Antonio Woods and Blake Thomas didn’t just avoid asking Sherry to repay them, they even gave her a project worth fifty million on the house.

Sherry Jones and Elijah Bailey sat before them, their faces full of astonishment, unable to respond. The other two seemed to have “we’re giving you money” written on their faces.

What on earth was going on?

Sherry racked her brain but couldn’t figure it out. Only Elijah Bailey had a vague idea of what was happening. To him, it looked like something that White Mitchell would do. Only White Mitchell could pull it off.

Meanwhile, upon learning that Mori Jones had been hospitalized, Old Madam Jones and Amanda rushed to the hospital in great haste.

Upon seeing Old Madam Jones and others show up in his sickroom, Mori Jones began to wail inconsolably, “Mum, look at what Antonio Woods and Blake Thomas have done to me, you have to get justice for me.

All of this is Sherry’s fault. If she had returned the money, would I be in this situation?”

Having heard Mori Jones’s pitiful wailing, Old Madam Jones’s face turned the color of pig liver.

As Old Madam Jones seethed with anger, Snowden Jones, who had been staying with her fiancé Jacob Bright, brought Jacob to the sickroom as soon as she heard the news.

Snowden seemed to have gained immense confidence and support in recent days, and her face now bore an air of arrogance.

Seeing her father beaten like this, her face was filled with indignation. “Grandma, Sherry’s behavior is outrageous. She thinks she’s above everyone. Is she worthy to be the General Manager of Jones Group? Or to hold the shares of our Jones family?!

Grandma, if we don’t punish Sherry severely this time, will she not place herself above your head consider herself the ruler of our Jones family?

What’s more, if we don’t take back the shares from Sherry, our entire Jones family will be destroyed by her and White Mitchell in a few days!”

Destroyed?!

Hearing this, Old Madam Jones’s heart fluttered wildly. She asked anxiously, “Snowden, what do you mean by that?”

Snowden gave a cold laugh and explained, “Grandma, I’ve recently found out something. The reason why the usually aggressive Hans Weiden and Imperial Group are lying low is all because of one thing!

A major dignitary from Nezzi Command Post, holding enormous power, is preparing to hold a grand wedding in our city, Sayon!

During this time, everyone must behave themselves, even the top families, no exception. Once the dignitary’s wedding is over, neither Hans Weiden nor the Imperial Group will let White Mitchell off easily!

Grandma, think about it, when that time comes, can we separate ourselves from them?”

This…

The color drained from Old Madam Jones’s face. In her anxiety, she asked, “Snowden, do you have any solutions to save our Jones family?”

At this, Sherry’s face broke into a cunning smile. “I do have a solution, but it depends on Jacob, the man our family relies upon. Jacob can now get his hands on an invitation to that mighty person’s wedding!

Grandma, do you know how much one invitation is worth? A whole ten million, and they’re priceless, ordinary people simply can’t get one, only Jacob can.

If Jacob is willing to help our Jones family get an invitation, Imperial Group won’t dare touch us.

What’s more, the guests at the wedding will all be respected figures in Sayon. If our Jones family can bond with one or two of those families, the Imperial Group wouldn’t dare make a move on us.

By then, we just need to issue a statement to separate ourselves from Sherry and White Mitchell. With that, our Jones family can rest easy.”

Upon hearing this, Old Madam Jones was immediately filled with excitement. All her attention turned to Jacob Bright now.

At this point, Jacob, who had been silent all along, exchanged an understanding look with Snowden, and then said arrogantly, “I’m not adverse to helping the Jones family.

But I have one condition. Once the shares are taken back from Sherry, they should be transferred to Snowden.

Snowden has made so many contributions to the Jones family over the years, I believe this condition is not unfair?”

This…

Old Madam Jones was momentarily stunned. Jacob’s words sounded more like an order than a proposal.

But this worked too. It would effectively bind the Snowden and Bright families together. Perhaps the Jones family could rise even higher with the help of the Brights.

Coming to this conclusion, Old Madam Jones made an immediate decision. “Quick! Get that damned Sherry back here!

No matter what, she has to hand over the shares. Quick!”
