King’s Awakening

Chapter 354: Chapter 354: Is Chen Baiyi’s Backing Not Myles?
Sayon, the Jones Family residence.

Starting from the anniversary of Logan Jones’s death, under the leadership of Old Madam Jones, the Jones family members went daily to Sayon Public Cemetery to kneel before Logan Jones’s grave and repent.

Though exhausted in body and mind, Old Madam Jones had no choice but to do this in order to gain White Mitchell’s forgiveness.

“Mom, are we going to kneel again today? We have been kneeling for two days and White Mitchell hasn’t come to see us even once. Look at my swollen knees,” Amanda complained bitterly before they set out.

An exhausted Old Madam Jones, upon hearing these words, cast her a severe look and reprimanded, “What, my old bones can withstand it, but your body is somehow more delicate than others?

We are not making you kneel for 24 hours. We are already lenient to you, yet you have the nerve to complain here?

Compared to the future of the Jones Family, this bit of suffering is nothing.

Hurry up, don’t dawdle. If White blames us and refuses to forgive the Jones Family, I will hold you accountable first!”

With a livid face, Old Madam Jones turned and walked out, leaning on her cane, followed by others.

Upon hearing these words, Amanda looked grievously towards Will Jones and voiced, “Will, look at mom, this…”

Sigh…just be quiet and do what mom says. If you don’t want to, then pack your things and get lost,” Will reprimanded rudely.

“Will, even you…”

Amanda’s eyes welled up with tears of grievance.

Just then, a black sedan abruptly stopped outside the Jones residence, blocking the path of the departing Jones family members.

Huh?

The Jones family paused, and immediately shouted in response to the arrival, “Snowden!?”

“You disobedient girl, where have you been all this time, not even coming home? Do you want to worry us to death…” Amanda greeted with tear-filled eyes.

In reality, Snowden Jones had been hiding out with Jacob Bright all this time, being affectionate with him.

It wasn’t that she didn’t want to return to the Jones family, but rather she didn’t want to lose face in front of Sherry Jones.

She knew that as soon as she returned home, the Jones family members would certainly drag her to apologise in order to curry favor with Sherry Jones.

So, during this period, she had simply hidden herself away with Jacob Bright, disappearing from sight.

The reason she suddenly returned home today was because she had learned about the current situation in Sayon and wanted to stop her family members from continuing their efforts to please Sherry Jones.

“Snowden? What are you saying? Isn’t Myles White Mitchell’s backer?

Moreover, isn’t Myles back to deal with him?”

The Jones’ family members who heard the news were all left agape.

How could everything change so drastically in less than two days?

Just a little while ago, everyone was saying with utmost conviction that Myles was White Mitchell’s backer.

But now that Myles is back, the first person he’s after is White Mitchell?

What on earth is going on?

In response to the Jones family’s questions, Snowden Jones gleefully said, “What’s so surprising? White Mitchell must have been exploiting Myles’ reputation to swindle his way around.

Otherwise, would people like Longman and Amanda listen to him – a man who’s been in jail?

Now that Myles is back, he’ll definitely have to settle the score with him.

I heard that tonight, at his company’s celebration, Myles intends to make an example of White Mitchell and use his blood to serve as a warning to everyone in Sayon!”

“Snow… Snowden, are you saying that Myles is planning to kill White Mitchell tonight?”

Old Madam Jones and the others wore complicated expressions after hearing this news.

In Old Madam Jones’s opinion, they had barely caught a glimmer of hope when it suddenly vanished.

The things they had done in the past two days, even she, at her age, had to kneel and repent before Logan Jones’s grave.

She had thrown away all her past pride to be trampled on by White Mitchell.

Who would have thought, all of it was fake, Myles was back and all of the power White Mitchell held was nothing but a fallacy.

Everything was fake, all of it was fake!

Old Madam Jones’s gaze progressively darkened, an intense rage burning within her chest.

Amanda next to her couldn’t help cursing, “That bastard White Mitchell schemed us so ruthlessly!

I said long ago that he was bad news, spitting on him, the shameless bastard.

No, we must settle this score with him!”

“Yes, we must settle the score!”

Old Madam Jones slammed her cane onto the ground, looking as though she was on the verge of combusting.

“Call that unfilial girl Sherry and tell her to roll out to see me immediately!” Old Madam Jones commanded thunderously.

At her words, Will Jones quickly took out his phone and dialed Sherry Jones’s number.

However, Sherry Jones was already absorbed in damage control and had no time to deal with the Jones family. Seeing the incoming call from Will Jones, she immediately hung up.

Thereafter, Will Jones stubbornly dialed several more times, only for Sherry to turn her phone off.

“Good, that ungrateful Sherry girl is evidently guilty. She must have known about White Mitchell a long time ago and now that she’s been exposed, she’s even afraid to take calls.” Amanda analyzed emphatically.

“A good one, White Mitchell, a good one, Sherry Jones, even I was kept in the dark!” Old Madam Jones’s face was stony, her bloodshot eyes seething with wrath.

Seeing this, Snowden Jones immediately offered, “Grandma, what can it do if she won’t take calls? Anyway, tonight, White Mitchell will definitely appear at Myles’s celebrations.

Even if he doesn’t go, Myles will drag him there. We’ll wait for him at the celebration venue, then perhaps we can not only disassociate ourselves from them and retrieve our shares, but might also be able to win Myles’s favour.

You must know, all the power that both White Mitchell and Sherry Jones held to control Sayon, was all due to exploiting Myles’s strength. If we can gain Myles’s favour, what do we have to worry about our future development?”

This speech was exactly what the Jones Family wanted to hear.

After hearing this, Old Madam Jones kept nodding her head. She immediately asked Will Jones to drive them to the Steel Group’s celebration venue to find White Mitchell.

…

Meanwhile, having learned that Myles was after White Mitchell, Sherry Jones immediately began to mobilize all the resources she had on hand.

However, at present, almost no one in Sayon dared to stand against Myles. Even Amanda and Longman were steadily retreating in this confrontation.

As such, the forces that Sherry Jones could mobilize were scant.

However, no matter what, as long as there was a glimmer of hope, Sherry Jones did not want White Mitchell in trouble.

She was willing to give her life for White Mitchell!

Nobody could harm White Mitchell!

Sherry Jones did not expect, however, that when she was ready to head to the celebration venue, she would suddenly get a message.

A military drill would be conducted near the listing ceremony of the Steel Group, with no unrelated persons allowed nearby?

What…?
