Sayon, Jones Group.

Elijah Bailey rushed into Sherry Jones’ office, however, his facial expression was unlike that of optimism. Instead, he appeared even more serious.

“Elijah, have you scouted any news?” Sherry swiftly asked. Judging by Elijah’s appearance, he must have received some sort of news, but most likely, it wasn’t positive.

Upon seeing this, Sherry’s spirit was dampened.

Elijah simply nodded in response, “After seeking help from a few old friends, I found out that it’s the prestigious Green Family leading the ban against our Jones Group!”

“The Green Family!?”

Sherry was surprised, her eyebrows knitting together almost immediately. She promptly exclaimed, “The very same Green Family that runs those shopping malls!?”

Elijah nodded. Upon seeing this, Sherry felt as though she had fallen into a bottomless abyss.

She was well aware of the Green Family’s immense power.

They were in charge of half of Sayon’s shopping malls. True tycoons in the industry.

In addition, they had some form of connection with all other shopping malls in Sayon.

If they wanted to blacklist the Jones Group, it would be a breeze for them.

Understanding why such hostility arose against the Jones Group, Sherry guessed that Hans must have been behind it all.

They would only be pacified once they had seen the Jones Group file for bankruptcy!

“Is there an approach to getting in touch with someone from the Green Family?” Sherry couldn’t help but ask.

Although she knew it well, even if she managed to meet someone from the Green Family, it would be tough to ameliorate the current situation.

She, however, refused to just admit defeat. Even if there was just one in ten thousand chances of success, she wanted to give it a try.

Elijah looked troubled upon hearing that and said hesitantly, “At present, the only large-scale mall within Sayon that still stocks our products is Thaw Mall.

Yet, Thaw Mall is the largest shopping mall in Sayon, and it also happens to be the Green Family’s largest mall.

All other malls have taken down our products except Thaw Mall. I think they are waiting for us to knock on their door. There might be a pitfall involved!”

The situation now couldn’t be clearer. The Green Family was virtually wearing a sign on their forehead that read, “This is a trap.”

Having thought this far, Elijah tried to dissuade Sherry, “Ms. Jones, we shouldn’t go. Let’s think of some other ways. Someone can surely deal with the Green Family.

This time, the Green Family totally disregarded the spirit of contract. They unilaterally removed our Jones Group’s products. Even if we take this to court, we would be in the right, we shouldn’t fear their bullying!”

As Elijah said these words, his face flushed with righteous indignation. It was also evident that he was resolved to fight against the Green Family till the end.

However, after Sherry heard what he said, she could only shake her head in helplessness.

“Elijah, even if we win the lawsuit, what’s the point? From preparing the paperwork to filing the lawsuit, and then to the delivery of the final verdict, how much time would it take?

We can’t afford to wait anymore! Moreover, the Green family is wealthy, it’s not about the money for them.

They are targeting me, forcing me to go find them. So, why shouldn’t I get it over with?” said Sherry with a resolute look on her face.

Sherry knew that now, the only option was to go to the Green Family and find out what they truly wanted. Only then could the Jones Group weather this crisis.

Otherwise, the Jones Group wouldn’t have to wait for others to force them into bankruptcy. They would be brought down by their own inventory.

However,…

Seeing Sherry’s determination, Elijah, for a while, didn’t know what to say because he understood that what Sherry had just said was nothing but the truth.

The Jones Group couldn’t afford the costly waiting game. Every additional day of waiting would cost them hundreds of thousands, if not millions.

Moreover, as time passed, these losses would only grow exponentially. If this continues, within a week, the Jones Group wouldn’t even be able to afford paying its employees.

“That’s how it will be Elijah. Please stay behind at the company to calm down our employees. I am going to visit them together with my aunt.” After saying that, Sherry grabbed her purse and walked out of the office.

Watching this, Elijah felt a surge of helplessness. He was worried about Sherry and after a moment of hesitation, he finally decided to notify White Mitchell.

Sayon, Thaw Mall!

Thaw Mall is a large shopping mall newly built by the Green Family. It houses a multitude of luxury items and large supermarkets, even entertainment services.

Additionally, due to the influence of the Green Family, it was directly linked to the nearby subway station, thereby attracting a large quantity of traffic.

Within a few short years, Thaw Commercial City has rapidly grown into the largest shopping mall in Sayon, chalking up to a daily footfall of over one hundred thousand people.

After nearly half an hour’s journey, Sherry and Mori Jones finally reached.

But upon reaching the entrance, they were greeted by a sight that infuriated them.

Indeed, Thaw Mall didn’t delist their products. In fact, they had placed the Jones Group’s products at a very prominent location.

The roadside curb!

At that moment, the Jones Group’s products were stacked up box by box at the curb. It was in a pitiful state. To Sherry, it was as though they were rubbish dumped at will.

Seeing this, Sherry, who couldn’t bear to witness her family’s products get treated like this, immediately pulled Mori along to tidy up the products and have someone take them away.

However, as soon as they lifted one of the boxes, a middle-aged woman wearing a uniform quickly approached them, snatched away the box from their hands, and dumped it heavily onto the ground.

“What is going on? Who are you two? Who told you to touch these things!?” The middle-aged woman demanded angrily.

Sherry and Mori frowned, observing the woman.

She was an employee of Thaw Mall. Her tag even said ‘shift supervisor,’ which suggested that she was a low-level manager.

Seeing this, Mori couldn’t help but remark, “These are products from our company! If you don’t want them, we can have them taken away, but why are you discarding them like this!?”

“You’re from the Jones Group!?”

The middle-aged woman, who was the shift supervisor, appeared to be taken aback. Soon after, a taunting expression swept across her face.

Mori snorted, gazing at her furiously.

But confronting Mori’s glaring eyes, the shift supervisor only sneered, “So what if the products belong to your company? Thaw Mall has already bought them. We can place them wherever we want, can’t we?

We like placing them here, do you have a problem with that? I like dumping them as I please, is it against the law? Not only will I dump them, but I would also pour them into the sewer. I’ll even use these products to clean the washrooms. What can you do?

So now, you have a problem with how we deal with the products we bought? Hahaha…”
