Chapter 176: Chapter 176: Bite Back!

Translator: 549690339

Mori Jones was livid and set on returning to the Jones Family residence with Sherry Jones to demand an explanation when she saw Will Jones and his clique, faces full of smugness, standing at the entrance of the company as if they had been waiting for them.

At that sight, Mori Jones instantly understood everything.

Old Madam Jones was very likely in cahoots with them, conniving against Sherry!

But, just as Mori Jones was about to confront Will Jones, he spoke while looking at them with amusement, “Why, you two look like you’re about to head home. How about I give you a lift?”

Mori immediately retorted: “Stop pretending here, Will. Did you have a hand in Sir Jaak’s plot?! Do you have any idea what losing two hundred million worth of goods means for our Jones Group?!

Is this only about Sherry? This debt will ultimately be counted on the Jones Family’s account. Have you considered the consequences of your actions?!”

In response to Mori’s accusation, Will Jones simply chuckled coldly, saying disdainfully, “Little sis, you can eat whatever junk you want, but you can’t just spout whatever nonsense comes to mind. Don’t throw every accusation at me.

What two hundred million in goods? I don’t know anything about that. Oh, did the Jones Group lose two hundred million worth of goods?

Sherry, Sherry… You really are useless. Just a few days after you took charge, and you’ve already created this mess. It seems you’ve spent too much time with White Mitchell. You both bring disaster wherever you go!”

Hahahahaha…

As his laughter subsided, Will Jones couldn’t help but chuckle, his followers joining in with their own snide laughter.

“You!”

Seeing this, Mori Jones was shaking with rage. At this moment, her phone rang.

On seeing the caller ID, Mori’s face darkened instantly.

It was Old Madam Jones!

The originally dispirited Sherry, quickly grabbed the phone from Mori’s hand as soon as she saw it was Old Madam Jones.

She then pleaded tearfully into the phone, “Grandmother, why do you do this to me? Can you please return my goods, I beg of you, can you return….”

Sherry’s pitiful pleas were met with harsh words from Old Madam Jones, “How could you, as the general manager, lose 200 million worth of goods just like that?

Who told you to dispatch the goods without first receiving the payment? Shouldn’t you have verified everything before signing the agreement?

Now that the goods are lost, you dare to point your finger at me! I order you to come back immediately. No matter what, you must explain to me, the chairwoman.”

After dropping those words, Old Madam Jones hung up the phone, leaving Sherry standing there in despair.

Seeing this from across her, the malevolent grin on Will Jones’ face grew stronger, making him look like a conniving old fox who had succeeded in his scheme.

Shortly after his phone rang. He answered it, pretending to be surprised, “Ah? Really? 200 million worth of goods have been lost?!

Alright, mom, don’t worry. Calm down. I’ll bring Sherry home right now.

Rest assured, she’s right in front of me. I’ll definitely bring her back to face you.”

After hanging up, Will Jones walked up to Sherry with a triumphant smirk, saying, “You heard the call as well. Please, Madam General Manager.”

Sherry stood there desolate, looking as though her spirit had been drained from her, filled only with despair and helplessness.

“Sherry, let’s not go back just yet. We’ll come up with something. There must be a way to settle this!” Mori Jones quickly advised, fearing that Sherry might do something drastic.

Upon hearing this, Sherry feebly raised her head, sighed, and resignedly said, “Forget it, Auntie. I think it’s best I go back for now. Perhaps this way, they’ll hand over the goods.

Please do not inform my brother about this. I don’t want him to worry about me.”

After saying these words, Sherry Jones followed behind Will Jones and the others, her face filled with desolation. She moved like a puppet on strings, lifeless and numb.

Upon seeing this, Mori Jones felt a sour taste in her mouth.

But she didn’t listen to Sherry. In her eyes, the only one who could truly help Sherry now was White Mitchell!

Moreover, the risk of Sherry returning to the Jones household alone was too great. She knew that even if she tagged along, it would be pointless. Only if White Mitchell followed could there possibly be a chance to halt the Jones Family from making excessive actions towards Sherry.

With these thoughts, Mori Jones quickly dialed White Mitchell’s number and told him everything that had happened.

Boom!

Upon receiving the call, White Mitchell was instantly filled with fury, like a rage-filled lion, his aura dreadful, “The Jones Family! You are courting death!!!”

The next moment, White Mitchell left his house and headed straight for the Jones Family.

On the way, White Mitchell called Kylin and instructed him to find and retrieve the goods within an hour, no matter the cost!

“Anyone involved in this matter must not be spared. As for that guy with the surname of Li, break his legs and toss him to the Jones Family!” White Mitchell commanded, burning with rage.

Hearing the orders, Kylin immediately went into action.

At the same time, David Herb, Amanda, Longman, The Patrol, and all other visible and secret forces started to move.

Countless people started scampering around on the streets, like hunting dogs frantically searching for those two billion worth of goods lost by Jones Group.

The entire Sayon seemed to be shrouded in dark clouds, everyone knew, if they couldn’t find the lost goods, a storm unlike any other would be awaiting them!

While the whole of Sayon was in upheaval, inside the Jones Family, it was a completely different scene.

Old Madam Jones sat in the main seat in the family hall as always, her face stern.

Meanwhile, Will Jones and his family of three stood next to her with a cold smirk, reveling in her misfortune.

The remaining Sherry stood alone, like a convict, waiting despondently for the Jones Family’s trial.

“Kneel down!”

Old Madam Jones pounded her cane and rebuked harshly.

But Sherry seemed to have not heard as she looked at the other party with bitterness in her eyes: “Grandmother, why would you also do this to me?”

Hearing this, Old Madam Jones’s face darkened, she rebuked: “How audacious! You have caused a disaster, yet you have the nerve to blame me!?”

You won’t kneel, will you? I’ll help you!

Amanda! Snowden! Beat her for me, until she kneels!”

At Old Madam Jones’s command, Amanda and Snowden Jones moved towards Sherry with malicious intent.

With a slap, Snowden Jones was the first to land a palm on Sherry’s face, letting out her anger: “Finally, you’ve fallen into my hands. You wretch!

Do you feel it? This is how it felt when White Mitchell hit me that day. Now, I’ll return it all to you!”

Seeing this, Amanda couldn’t be left behind. She immediately kicked Sherry’s shin, cursing maliciously: “You deserve this, you damned girl! Today, you have to kneel whether you want to or not!”

With a thud, Sherry’s leg gave in from pain and she fell to her knees, a heartrending pain radiating from her kneecaps.
