King’s Awakening

Chapter 44: Chapter 44 Is it really an apology?

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Listening to the ridicule coming from the Jones family, Sherry Jones felt very uncomfortable.

It was one thing for her to be laughed at, but White Mitchell had just served five years for a wrongful conviction, and as soon as he got out, he faced the animosity of so many people. How would he reintegrate into society after this?

For White’s sake, Sherry had stealthily read many resources about how those wrongfully imprisoned reintegrate into society.

Among them, the most important thing for people like White who had been wrongfully imprisoned was trust from those around them.

If the people around him no longer trust him, it will be a huge burden on him, possibly causing him to collapse mentally and go down the wrong path.

Sherry didn’t want things to go this way for White, so she stood up angrily and said, “Have you all had your laughs yet! My brother was framed, and I will definitely help him uncover the truth. You are not allowed to target him now!” White was warmed by Sherry’s defense.

But at this time, the Jones family, especially Snowden Jones and her mother, showed disdainful cold smiles on their faces.

“Cut it out! Wronged? Ridiculous! He has finished his sentence, why can’t people say a thing or two about it? If he wasn’t guilty, he shouldn’t have done such scandalous things in the first place!” Amanda sneered.

Snowden also coldly said, “Did Jacob say anything wrong? He is bragging so much, it’s a bargain for him to sign up for a comedy workshop. Otherwise, do you think it’s easy for a prisoner to find work?”

As soon as these words were spoken, laughter erupted from the crowd.

Sherry’s face turned red from the mockery, but she still wanted to defend White. However, as far as White was concerned, as long as Sherry understood him, it was enough.

As for the others, well… there will be plenty of time to slap them in the face.

White put Sherry behind him and said casually, “Don’t worry, the bark of a mad dog won’t affect your brother.”

Whoosh!

Upon hearing this, Jacob Bright stood up abruptly, “What did the ex-con just call me- a mad dog?”

White slowly turned his body, overlooking Jacob Bright and his fleeting glance was enough to send a tremble through Jacob’s entire body, as if being stared at by a beast.

Intimidated immediately, Jacob Bright deferred to White who coldly laughed, “If you ever howl at my sister again, I’ll throw you out!”

Jacob instantly ducked, avoiding eye contact with White.

At this time, Old Madam Jones slammed her cane, “Sherry! If you don’t manage this mad dog properly, don’t expect Logan to recognize his ancestors and return to his roots!”

Hearing this, Sherry firmly retorted, “Grandma, it was clearly him who offended first, so why…”

Before she could finish, Old Madam Jones interrupted her furiously, “You insolent girl! Shut up! You are here to apologize to the Woods family, not cause trouble for the Jones Family!”

Whoosh!

Sherry suddenly felt incredibly cold, if it weren’t for fulfilling her father’s last wish, what was there to stay for in such a family as the Jones?

Just then, the Jones Family’s nanny, Nanny Donne, rushed in frantically and said fearfully, “It’s terrible, the Woods’s people are here, a lot of them.”

Upon hearing this, the entire Jones Residence fell silent.

“Quick, everyone follow me out to greet the Woods family. We must not neglect them,” Old Madam Jones hurriedly said.

In an instant, the whole Jones family leapt into action.

When Old Madam Jones walked by Sherry, she glared at White fiercely, “What are you two still standing there for? This is the mess you two made, it’s up to you to apologize!”

Sherry pursed her lips, her eyes welling with reddened tears she was struggling to hold back.

White gently held her hand, jokingly saying, “Let’s go, if the Woods are to apologize, how can they do so without you?”

Sherry Jones burst into laughter and gave White Mitchell an annoyed look, wondering how he could still afford to joke around at this time.

Afterward, with a heavy heart, Sherry followed behind White, heading towards the entrance of the house.

At this moment, Antonio Woods and the rest of the Woods Family had already arrived at the front door.

Upon noticing Antonio, Old Madam Jones eagerly started to speak, “Dear in-law, our Jones Family is sorry… Huh? What happened to your son?”

Halfway through her sentence, Old Madam Jones caught sight of Finn Woods, who was standing behind Antonio. He didn’t seem quite right.

Just yesterday White broke one of his arms, so why was both of his hands casted today?

Moreover, his face was swollen like a pig’s. Finn was already chubby like a big fat pig. Now he looked even more like the real thing, practically a living pig head.

Old Madam Jones couldn’t help but feel her heart drop at this sight, she was apprehensive.

Could it be that the Woods Family was staging this to extort the Jones Family?

If that was the case, weren’t the Woods way too ruthless? Even laying hands on their own son?

Hiss!

Old Madam Jones took a sharp breath and hurriedly explained in a terrified tone, “Dear in-law, guilt must have a perpetrator, and debts must have a debtor. This incident really has nothing to do with our Jones family.

We’ve brought you the culprit. Whether you want to kill or maim him today, our Jones Family won’t interfere one bit. You can handle it as you like!”

After saying this, Old Madam Jones didn’t forget to signal Snowden Jones.

Snowden got the hint and pulled Jacob Bright in front of Antonio.

Jacob adjusted his tie casually and spoke seriously, “Uncle Woods, hope everything’s well with you. I’m Jacob from the Bright Corporation. We had a meal together during the New Year. Do you still remember?

Snowden is my girlfriend. The incident about the Jones Family, I’ve heard. It’s totally White Mitchell’s own actions, it has nothing to do with the Jones family.

I hope you can give me some….”

Before Jacob could finish his pompous speech, Antonio Woods directly knelt down in front of the Jones Family’s door.

Following this, the people behind Antonio also knelt down uniformly.

What…?

This scene dumbfounded everyone from the Jones Family. Jacob was even more confused. What’s going on here? They knelt before he had even finished speaking?

Before Jacob could react, Antonio Woods began kowtowing and saying, “We apologize, we in the Woods family were truly blind. We have offended you and beg for your forgiveness.

I, Antonio Woods, vow not to trouble the Jones Family anymore. Wherever the

Jones Family’s people are, we will avoid them. We really dare not do it again. Please have mercy on us this time….”

Antonio didn’t know exactly who he had offended. All he knew was that there was someone with close ties to Amanda in the Jones Family. Therefore, all he could do was say this as an apology.

For a moment, the entire area outside the Jones Family villa was filled with the begging voices of the Woods Family.

At this moment, everyone in the Jones Family was stunned, unable to calm their feelings for quite some time.

They were here to apologize, the Woods family—They were really here to apologize! !!

Whoosh!

“Did the Woods Family’s ancestral grave started burning?” Someone could hardly believe it, his expression filled with shock.

At this moment, Old Madam Jones was also flabbergasted by the Woods Family’s actions, standing still with an indescribable sense of shock. “Could all of this be his achievement?” she wondered in awe..
