Chapter 371: Chapter 371: Can the Jones Family save White Mitchell?
Sayon, Jones Family!
The news of Jeremiah Weiden’s return to Sayon with his Tiger Guard had spread like wildfire, sweeping through all of Sayon in no time.
The arrival of this news at the Jones Family neared catastrophe!
“We’re finished! What are we going to do now? Will the Weiden Family come after us too!?” Amanda uttered anxiously, flustered, seeming to lose her soul.
Will Jones at her side was also deeply worried, the wrinkles on his face could almost trap a fly.
“It’s all thanks to that bastard causing us trouble! I deeply regret not kicking him out when he first joined our family!” Will Jones cursed angrily.
“Dad, Mom, Grandma, we need to think of a plan! Jacob said he would call off our engagement when he heard about this!” Snowden Jones lamented.
What!?
Upon hearing this, Will and his wife Amanda’s expressions of anger intensified, their resentment towards White Mitchell growing stronger. They wished they could devour his flesh and drink his blood.
For a moment, the whole Jones Family’s hatred towards White Mitchell grew even more intense.
The dark cloud over the heads of all in the Jones family seemed to linger indefinitely.
Amongst everyone at the Jones home, the only person who managed to maintain her composure was Old Madam Jones.
Old Madam Jones was seen sitting quietly with her dim eyes narrowed into thin slits. Her wrinkled hands ran back and forth on her dragon head cane, as if mulling over some strategy.
Suddenly, Old Madam’s eyes opened widely, and a hint of bright light flashed within.
Immediately after that, Will and the others saw a peculiar smile playing up on her lips.
“Mom, have you thought of a plan!?” Will eagerly asked, with a hopeful glimmer in his eyes.
Upon hearing this, Amanda and Snowden’s gaze turned towards Old Madam Jones.
Old Madam Jones nodded, her eyes then snapping coldly, scoffed, “Heh… This might just be a once-in-a-thousand-year opportunity for the Jones Family!”
A once-in-a-thousand-year opportunity!?
What does she mean!?
Will and others were taken aback, unable to comprehend.
Seeing their confusion, Old Madam Jones chuckled triumphantly. She continued, “The whole world knows that the Weiden family is after White Mitchell.
That little brat, Sherry, will definitely try everything to help Mitchell out of this mess.
If we tell her now that we can ask for help from the Jones branch in Capital City, how do you suppose she will react!?”
Hm!?
Amanda, still not fully understanding, asked subconsciously, “That wretched girl is hell bent over Mitchell. Even if we ask her to die for him, she wouldn’t bat an eyelid.
But mom, why do we need to ask the Jones family from Capital City to help Mitchell!?
If he dies, that would be the end of all our troubles.”
Faced with Amanda’s ignorance, Old Madam Jones shot her a seething glare. But before she could say anything, Will smirked, “Help that bastard?! He wishes!
Mom is doing this merely to use it as a condition to make that wretched Sherry hand over the Nezzi New Town project.
Once that happens, we can not only eliminate White Mitchell with the Weiden family’s help but also take over the Nezzi New Town project! With the Jones branch from Capital City backing us, I believe that Nezzi will not dare say a word!”
Saying this, Will couldn’t help giving Old Madam Jones a thumbs up.
They were previously concerned about finding a reason to claim Nezzi New Town. After all, the Jones branch from Capital City couldn’t forcefully snatch it from Sherry’s hands.
However, Jeremiah Weiden’s appearance has now unsolved this problem for them.
In the future, the Jones family could effortlessly remove White Mitchell and take over Nezzi New Town. Two birds with one stone.
“Brilliant, mom, this move is simply brilliant!” Will couldn’t help exclaiming.
On hearing White’s words, Old Madam Jones looked very pleased and immediately instructed Will Jones to contact Sherry Jones and ask her to come to the Jones family home alone.
…
On the other hand, Sherry Jones, originally upset about White Mitchell’s situation, scowled subconsciously after receiving a call from Will Jones.
She knew very well that the Jones family, known for their self-interest, certainly wouldn’t help White Mitchell out of pure kindness.
Most likely, they have already planned how to benefit excessively from her.
However, at this point, Sherry Jones had no other solution. As long as she could help White Mitchell out of this predicament, she would do anything without hesitation.
With this in mind, Sherry found an excuse, left her home alone, and headed straight for the Jones family home.
About half an hour later, Sherry Jones appeared at the Jones family home.
Upon entering the Jones family home, she saw the Jones family all putting on faces that were drastically different from the usual sharp acid tone, each of their faces full of ingratiating smiles.
Sherry Jones didn’t care about this at all and cut straight to the chase, “Grandma, don’t pretend. Just tell me straight: what can you do to help my brother, and what do you want in return?”
Old Madam Jones, whose little game was exposed by Sherry Jones, laughed instead of getting angry, “Ha ha… You’re getting more arrogant every day, even showing off to me now?
Forget it, I won’t bicker with you. I’ll tell you the truth, we do have ways to help White Mitchell. The representatives from the Capital City branch of the Jones family will be in Sayon in the next two days.
We can ask them to step in and help White Mitchell out of the Weiden family’s troubles. However, you should know we won’t give you such an opportunity for nothing.
If you’re willing to hand over the Nezzi New City project to the Jones family, we’ll ask the Capital City branch of the Jones family to handle the Weiden family’s trouble.”
Capital City branch of the Jones family!?
Upon hearing this, Sherry Jones frowned. The Capital City branch of the Jones family was not unknown to her. She only ended up in Capital City because Logan Jones was representing the Sayon branch of the Jones family at the annual meeting in Capital City once, which led to her saving White Mitchell.
The Capital City branch of the Jones family, known to be a hundred-year-old noble family with complicated relationships spanning various industries, can rightly be called a vast business empire.
If they are willing to intervene on White Mitchell’s behalf, the Weiden family might actually think twice about crossing them.
However, they wanted her to completely hand over the Nezzi New City project; this was a condition she could not agree to, at least not fully.
Knowing the Jones family’s nature, once Nezzi New City falls completely into their hands, the first thing they would likely do is retaliate against White Mitchell.
Thinking of this, Sherry Jones began to speak, “It’s impossible for me to hand over the entire project. Fifty percent of the shares is my bottom line.
Moreover, I will only hand over the shares to you after the people of the Capital City Jones family have completely resolved my brother’s trouble with the Weiden family.
Otherwise, I won’t hand over a single cent of the shares to you!”
“Are you joking? Fifty percent, do you think you’re giving away food to a beggar, we…” Amanda was immediately unhappy when she heard this.
But at this time, Old Madam Jones directly interrupted her and said: “Amanda, shut up!”
After scolding Amanda, Old Madam Jones turned her attention back to Sherry Jones and said with a smile, “Okay, fifty percent it is. We have already prepared the contract, please sign it.”
With that, Old Madam Jones asked Snowden Jones to bring up the contract that had long been prepared. On the contract, they added the terms that Sherry Jones just put forth.
Sherry Jones looked at it, confirmed that there were no mistakes, and then picked up a pen and signed her name on the contract.
“When will the representatives from the Capital City branch of the Jones family arrive in Sayon?” Sherry Jones asked Old Madam Jones after signing her name.
Old Madam Jones, all her heart on the contract, simply replied without really addressing her question, “Don’t worry, now that you’ve signed the contract, do you think we would still deceive you?
Go home and wait for the news. When the people from the Capital City Jones family arrive, we will naturally inform you.”
Facing Old Madam Jones’s attitude, Sherry Jones felt an immense disgust, but for the sake of saving White Mitchell, she could only choose to swallow her anger.
After Sherry Jones left, Old Madam Jones dropped her pretenses and revealed her original sarcastic face.
Seeing Sherry Jones’s retreating figure, Old Madam Jones sneered, “Sherry, you’re still too naive to fight against me. Snowden tampered with the ink on the contract at my instruction.
Fifty percent? Ha ha… By the time she finds out, the entire Nezzi New City will belong to the Jones family!
As for that bastard White Mitchell, I really look forward to seeing his death at the hand of Jeremiah Weiden! Ha ha ha…”</p
