This…

The abrupt voice left everyone on the scene somewhat unresponsive.

Mori Jones and Wen Zhihui both shivered involuntarily, then looked with apprehension toward Old Madam Jones and her daughter Amanda, who were storming over with great momentum.

They were part of the Jones Family, deeply aware of Old Madam Jones’ authoritative ways.

From their expressions, it was not hard to see that they were also surprised by Old Madam Jones’ sudden appearance.

Just as they were deeply worried, Kylin, standing not far away, frowned, and stepped forward.

With a bang, a wild aura erupted from him. His tiger eyes were bright and compelling, as if hiding an army of thousands.

The Army Master’s dignity cannot be tarnished; trespasses will be punished with death!

This was a strict rule of the White War Department. What Old Madam Jones had just done undoubtedly violated the White War Department’s taboo.

Anyone in the world who dared offend White Mitchell must face the wrath of the White War Department and the entire Dragon Realm War Department.

Thinking of this, the violent aura inside Kylin surged like a broken dam, ready to rush toward Old Madam Jones.

Although Kylin was not as powerful as White Mitchell or even any of the Four Great War Gods who served under White Mitchell,

as the head of the Five War Kings and hailed as the current Sword Immortal, Kylin’s momentum, if fully unleashed, could make Old Madam Jones kneel outright despite her old age.

But Kylin did not care whether she could withstand it or not; in his eyes, she deserved punishment for her disrespect toward White Mitchell.

Just at this moment, White Mitchell’s voice halted Kylin’s actions: “Kylin, stand down!”

Huh?

Kylin was stunned, immediately retracted his aura. Despite his confusion, he would execute White Mitchell’s orders without hesitation, even if it asked him to climb a mountain of swords or descend into a sea of flames.

Having reprimanded Kylin, White Mitchell silently moved Sherry Jones behind himself.

However, to his surprise, Sherry Jones did not hide behind him. Instead, she resolutely took White Mitchell’s hand and stood shoulder to shoulder with him.

In this moment, warmth flooded White Mitchell’s heart as a smile of happiness spread involuntarily across his face.

At that moment, Old Madam Jones and Amanda had already arrived in front of White Mitchell and Sherry Jones.

“Zhihui? You’re here too!?” Seeing her daughter-in-law, Old Madam Jones was taken aback, then her expression became somewhat disgruntled.

“Mother-in-law, the matter of the two children…” In front of Old Madam Jones, Wen Zhihui acted cautiously and nodded, appearing to acquiesce. It seemed that since Logan Jones’ death, she had been often targeted by Old Madam Jones.

However, the more hesitant Wen Zhihui behaved, the more arrogant Old Madam Jones appeared, who, in front of everyone, scolded harshly, “Don’t call me ‘mother’! I don’t have a daughter-in-law like you!

Look at yourself, what kind of daughter have you raised? You’ve made her disrespectful, greedy, and now she dares to elope with someone else, this is the good daughter you’ve raised!

Sherry has become so rebellious, when you die, do you still have the face to meet Logan!? Have you been fair to Logan!?”

“Mother, I…”

Wen Zhihui, recently recovered from a serious injury, turned pale, appearing even weaker.

At this moment, Mori Jones quickly supported Wen Zhihui and spoke frankly, “Mother! Second sister-in-law has done nothing wrong! Why are you so against her?

If Sherry and White are in love with each other, how did that turn into an elopement? You always say second sister-in-law is unfair to my second brother, but you forced Sherry to marry Hans. Are you fair to my second brother?”

“How dare you!!!”

When she heard these words, Old Madam Jones became furious and raised her walking stick to strike at Mori Jones and Wen Zhihui.

However, with a snap, even though there was a sound, Old Madam Jones’ cane did not swing down.

All they saw was Old Madam Jones holding her walking stick with a fierce expression, attempting to pull it back, yet it seemed as if something had taken control of it.

At that moment, people noticed that White Mitchell had moved in front of Mori Jones and Wen Zhihui and taken hold of Old Madam Jones’ walking stick.

White Mitchell’s face then turned cold, as he forcefully snatched the walking stick from Old Madam Jones’ hands.

With a stumble, Old Madam Jones almost fell head over heels.

By the time she stabilized herself, White Mitchell had already broken her mahogany walking stick into two and tossed it aside.

“You!!!”

Enraged as Old Madam Jones was, she was helpless against White Mitchell’s power and had no choice but to swallow her rage.

“Mother, the children have grown up and should have their own lives. Since childhood, they have been by my side, and I know they are good kids. I don’t understand why you object to their being together?”

Seeing the tense atmosphere, Wen Zhihui stepped forward to mediate with a gentle expression. However, she remained unaware of how the Jones family had treated Sherry. Had she known, she probably wouldn’t have asked such a question.

At this point, before Old Madam Jones could speak, Amanda from one side said disdainfully, “Why? Have you the nerve to ask why? Do you know what kind of disaster you’ve bred?

Ask White Mitchell how much trouble he’s caused for our Jones family since his return. Good kid? Bah! Disaster-prone! A catastrophe!”

Zhihui’s face went rigid, she was just about to apologize for White Mitchell, when Old Madam Jones said coldly, “Zhihui! This is the business of the Jones family, none of your concern!

I am the head of the Jones family, and without my consent, no one can marry Sherry!

If she gets married, it can only be to Hans Weiden, definitely not White Mitchell!”

This…

After hearing this, Zhihui’s complexion became even more bitter. She felt helpless.

In reality, this was her predicament with the Jones family since the death of Logan Jones.

Not only was she not welcome in the Jones family, but they also made things difficult for her at every turn. This caused the innately gentle Zhihui to suffer even more humiliations.

The sight of Zhihui looking wronged was like a stab to Sherry’s heart.

A large part of the reason why she took Zhihui far away to River North was that she didn’t want to see her mother oppressed by the Jones family anymore.

Could her mother, just newly recovered from a severe illness, withstand this level of oppression?

Thinking of this, Sherry directly said to Old Madam Jones: “Grandmother, my marriage is my business, has nothing to do with my mother, and even less to do with the Jones family!

The man I love is called White Mitchell, the man I want to marry is also White Mitchell!

I’m not a commodity, I don’t need to marry whoever you want me to marry, in my life, I will only marry one person, and that is White Mitchell!”

Wow!

Upon hearing these words, Old Madam Jones was practically fuming. She wanted to pick up her cane, but remembered that it had long been broken by White Mitchell.

Thinking of this, Old Madam Jones harshly reprimanded Sherry: “Sherry! Don’t be stubborn! What kind of magic potion did White Mitchell feed you, to have you so utterly bewitched?

Think about it, you are my granddaughter, would I harm you? White Mitchell is merely a criminal just released from jail, he has no money and job, and he has offended so many people.

If you marry him, you will definitely regret it later. Don’t ruin your entire life because of a momentary impulse!”

Snowden Jones chimed in: “Hans Weiden is so good, his family is part of the wealthy elite, and he is a Harvard graduate, a real young talent.

What can White Mitchell compare with him? Let alone that I look down on him, I’m afraid he can’t even afford a decent wedding dress!

Can you really imagine marrying a man who can’t even afford a wedding dress? Did you get your head squeezed by the door when you left the house!?”

“Exactly, can’t even afford a decent wedding dress, so what wedding are you talking about, it’s simply a disgrace!” Amanda also chattered on, backing Snowden Jones’s words.

Upon hearing this, Sherry clenched her teeth. It was one thing to insult herself, but they had no right to insult White Mitchell!

While Sherry was thinking of a rebuttal, White Mitchell nonchalantly said: “Since when do you all have the right to interfere with my wedding?

Just a wedding dress – if I were to choose, I would choose the best for Sherry. Why do you worry?”

The best one?!

Amanda and her daughter laughed openly at this. “You talk a good talk, but do we not know exactly how much you are worth? You can’t even scrape together 20,000 dollars. Who are you trying to fool?”

On hearing this, White Mitchell laughed again. As for the wedding dress, he had already booked it. In the whole of Sayon, there’s no second dress like it.

At this point, seeing that White Mitchell was still being ridiculed, Sherry silently took his hand: “Big Brother, even if there’s no fancy wedding dress, I will still marry you, we don’t need…”

“Silly girl, don’t worry, leave it to me. Tomorrow, I will take you to choose a wedding dress.” Without letting Sherry finish, White Mitchell said tenderly.

Upon hearing these words, the mocking expressions on everyone’s faces intensified. Snowden directly opened her mouth and said “White Mitchell, you sound certain about it, do you dare to bet me on it?

If the wedding dress you buy tomorrow isn’t as valuable as mine, call off your wedding to Sherry. Do you dare?”

On hearing these words, Sherry quickly became anxious and wanted to stop White Mitchell. But she hadn’t even opened her mouth when White Mitchell confidently said, “It’s just a wedding dress. What is there to fear?

Get lost, I hope to see a decent wedding dress from you tomorrow. Don’t disappoint me too much!”

“Stubborn to the end! Let’s see how you maintain your arrogance tomorrow! Humph!” Snowden Jones scoffed, and then, helping Old Madam Jones, left the scene.

Seeing all the Jones family leaving, Sherry glanced at White Mitchell with a bitter face: “Big Brother, why did you bother? It’s clear that they were just looking for trouble…”

Obviously, Sherry didn’t think that White Mitchell could win this time. Snowden’s fiance, Jacob Bright, was among the top in the second-tier rich families with billions of dollars. In comparison, White Mitchell simply couldn’t compete.

More importantly, none of these things mattered to her.

But what Sherry didn’t know was that as far as the wedding dress was concerned, White Mitchell had already prepared it. The most valuable wedding dress in the entire Sayon was now in his hands!
