King’s Awakening

Chapter 303: Chapter 303: Whose Hand Holds the Wasteland?
Sayon, Jones Group.

Early the next morning, Sherry Jones, who had spent the entire night worrying, dragged her weary body to work.

Looking at the dejected look on the faces of the employees in the office, Sherry Jones felt a suffocating sense of repression.

But at this moment, she could only rally her spirit, knowing that this was the time when she simply could not afford to fall.

Then, Sherry Jones put on a forced smile and asked Mori Jones to contact Beckett to come to the company and discuss countermeasures.

Beckett greeted White Mitchell and then proceeded as instructed by him to the Jones Group.

As soon as they met, Sherry Jones took on all the responsibility, saying that she was willing to accept any punishment from Boss Beckett.

After she finished speaking, Sherry Jones stood before Beckett with a guilty face, like a child who had done something wrong.

Beckett pretended that he wasn’t aware of the situation, and then said: “How can we make you bear this alone, Miss Jones, when the decision was made collectively?

Besides, we haven’t actually lost the 80 billion, have we? We at least still have a piece of land.

Although Alan Austin is sabotaging us behind the scenes, who’s holding the useless plot of land isn’t certain yet. So, Miss Jones, you don’t need to blame yourself too much. There won’t be a problem.”

This…

Originally, Sherry Jones was prepared for Boss Beckett to pull out his investments; after all, we’re talking about 80 billion, not just 800.

However, she didn’t expect that Beckett, upon hearing the news, would react as if it was nothing significant, as if 80 billion were insignificant to him.

Not only that, Beckett even assured her solemnly that if there are insufficient funds in the future, his behind-the-scenes boss would take care of it, ensuring that she doesn’t have to worry about financial problems at all.

Hearing this, Sherry Jones was taken aback and immensely curious about Beckett’s boss and who this friend of her cousin could be.

It is rare to see a tycoon who can casually pull out 100 billion in Sayon, let alone someone who doesn’t even bat an eye at 80 billion.

Who exactly is Beckett’s boss?

As Sherry Jones was full of curiosity, a clatter suddenly came from outside the door. Sherry Jones could tell hearing the exceedingly abrasive voice that it was Grandy Anderson.

One could surmise that at a moment like this, Grandy Anderson came to make fun of her circumstance.

Thinking of this, Sherry Jones showed a look of extreme disgust on her face.

Sherry Jones promptly asked Beckett to sit for a moment while she went out to solve the problems outside. Even so, Beckett said with a smile: “I haven’t seen my previous boss for a few days. I’ll also come for the fun.”

Seeing this, Sherry Jones mentally sighed and reluctantly brought Beckett out of the office with her.

When she opened the door of her office, she saw Grandy Anderson standing arrogantly in front of everyone, her face full of mockery.

“Grandy Anderson! What on earth are you trying to do!?” Sherry Jones demanded coldly.

Grandy Anderson’s sneering expression intensified at the sight of Sherry Jones and Beckett behind her. She said in a gloating tone: “Hey, you’re here too Beckett, the destitute dog?

That’s good, I was worried that you wouldn’t know. I believe you all heard the news that the site for Nezzi’s New City is the North Suburb, not the Southern Suburb.

I heard that you guys spent 80 billion in the Southern Suburb to stockpile on land, isn’t it?

How does it feel to receive the gift we from the Imperial Group have prepared for you? Surprised? Unexpected? Hahaha…”

“You!”

Hearing these words, Sherry Jones clenched her fists, glaring at Grandy Anderson with gritted teeth.

At this moment, Beckett, standing behind her, simply smirked and said leisurely: “Oh? Is that so? It seems like there’s some discrepancy in our information.

“How come I heard that the site selected for the new city of Nezzi is in the Southern Suburb?

And, it seems that the property in the North Suburb has been put in the stage of being prohibited from commercial development, right? I heard it was to restore the ecology and create a nature reserve. Don’t you guys know?”

Huh?

Grandy Anderson’s expression froze for a moment, but soon her face returned to normal, she immediately scoffed: “Ha… Beckett, did you learn your boasting skills from White Mitchell?

You can just straight-up lie, those who don’t know would probably believe your crap.

But, do you think our Imperial Group is as stupid as Sherry Jones? We in the Imperial Group have already done our research. The Royal Group’s survey team has been surveying in the North Suburb for a long time. Do you think you still have a chance?”

After finishing these words, Grandy Anderson regained her confidence and couldn’t wait to see the desperate expression on Sherry Jones’ face.

Upon hearing her words, Sherry Jones responded irritably: “Yes, I spent 80 billion to buy some worthless land, are you satisfied now?

Can you leave now? The Jones Group does not welcome you!”

After she finished speaking, Sherry Jones’s nose couldn’t help but sour, her red eyes misted up with tears.

Seeing this, Grandy Anderson immediately felt triumphant, experiencing the exhilarating feeling of kicking someone when they’re down.

But just as her arrogant spirit was about to reach its peak, there was a sudden ring from the cell phone inside Grandy Anderson’s bag, interrupting her.

Grandy Anderson took out her phone impatiently, sarcastically glancing at Sherry Jones, then quietly pressed the answer button: “Hello, Busi…”

Before she could finish her word, an impatient voice came from the other end of the call: “Where are you now? Get back here right now!

There’s big trouble, the Royal Group announced the site selection for the new city of Nezzi, damn it, it’s not the North Suburb!

Get back here quickly, let’s together head to the Royal Group to ask! What the hell is going on!!!”

What?

The site for the new city of Nezzi isn’t in the North Suburb!?

Grandy Anderson’s face suddenly froze, she was completely stiff.

Impossible, how could it not be the North Suburb?

Hasn’t the Royal Group’s survey team been active in the North Suburb?

Why isn’t it the North Suburb?

Grandy Anderson, who was in disbelief, was completely stunned, she looked at Beckett incredulously.

At this moment, all she could think about were the words Beckett had just said.

He said that the location of the new city of Nezzi wasn’t in the North Suburb and asked her to check the news. Could it be that this jackass actually knew some insider information?

Thinking of this, Grandy Anderson’s body shuddered involuntarily, she then stared at Beckett and sharply said: “Beckett, you jackass, do you know something!?”
