Chapter 276: Steel Turner Retired?

Chapter 276: Chapter 276: Steel Turner Retired?

Sayon, Weiden Family!

Ever since Azure Dragon kicked him out of the wedding venue yesterday, Noah Weiden had been in a terrible mood.

His face was filled with gravity and stifled anger. He just couldn’t figure out how Steel Turner from Nezzi’s headquarters had gotten involved with White Mitchell.

A mere kid just released from jail, and his backer was Turner? Who would believe that?

But strangely enough, that’s exactly what happened!

Who would’ve thought that Turner, who was always lauded for his impartiality, would act self-servingly for Mitchell?

Turner’s appearance took Noah Weiden totally by surprise, making him as restless as an ant on a hot pan.

What he’s most worried about now is, will Turner side with White Mitchell and go against the Weiden Family?

If Turner really decided to go against their family, even ten Weiden families wouldn’t be a match for him.

Realizing the seriousness of the situation, Noah Weiden immediately informed his grandfather Jeremiah Weiden, asking him to investigate Turner’s relationship with Mitchell.

Right now, Noah Weiden was desperately waiting for his grandfather’s reply.

Finally, at nearly six o’clock in the evening, Jeremiah Weiden finally replied.

[Jeremiah Weiden: “Noah, according to the investigation carried out by grandpa’s friend in the War Department, Turner abruptly retired last night. We have yet to find out the reason.

According to rumors from the War Department, it seems that someone complained about Turner’s activities and the War Department, in order to protect its reputation, ordered him to retire.”]

What…

Turner resigned?

The moment he saw the message, Noah had a blank look, then his face gradually turned interesting.

Attended White Mitchell’s wedding yesterday and resigned overnight?

This was obviously not a coincidence!

Someone must have reported him for favoritism, he abused his power for Mitchell’s wedding. With such a big fuss, it’s impossible not to attract the War Department’s attention.

In addition, Turner’s unwavering character has offended many people over the years.

Now, he must have been reported by his enemies.

“Turner, Turner, you were so pompous yesterday!” Noah Weiden sneered, his gloomy face instantly turned bright, replaced by a playful expression.

With Turner’s fall, Mitchell now has no one to rely on. Dealing with him next would be just as simple as crushing an ant.

As this thought crossed his mind, Noah Weiden’s face turned devilishly cruel: “White Mitchell, let’s see who can save you now!”

“Men, find out where White Mitchell is immediately. And, make sure to check if his helper from yesterday is with him.”

“This time, I will crush White Mitchell under my feet and solidify the Weiden Family’s prestige!”

At this moment, Noah Weiden was again brimming with confidence. Now that Turner has fallen, let’s see how Mitchell continues to throw his weight around.

However, Noah Weiden doesn’t know that Turner’s retirement is a move arranged by White Mitchell to lure out the man behind the scenes who left Turner disabled for life.

But, even White Mitchell probably didn’t expect that it wouldn’t be the culprit who would reveal himself first, but Noah Weiden stepping into the line of fire.

Sayon, Jones Family.

At Will Jones’s warm invitation, Mitchell’s mother-in-law and Mori Jones arrived first at the Jones Family.

Upon receiving the news, White Mitchell along with Sherry Jones, who had just recovered a bit of strength, hastily returned to the Jones family.

Throughout the journey, Sherry was in a state of uneasy anticipation.

She had already guessed the intent of the Jones family. They had generally been indifferent towards her throughout the years, yet today they extend an enthusiastic invitation. Anyone would know there was an ulterior motive to this.

It was most likely that the Jones family saw the prestige White gained on stage yesterday, so now they’re eager to curry favor with him.

However, White had told her that he had exhausted almost all his connections asking Steel Turner to help prepare their wedding. To ask for his help once more would be near impossible.

Besides, even if they are willing to help again, Sherry plans to first help White solve the trouble with the Weiden family and Imperial Group.

As for the Jones family, what they crave was nothing more than prestige and power, which paled in comparison to White’s safety.

However, the Jones family isn’t concerned with White’s fate. All they care about is if they can use White’s power to gain what they want.

They will definitely try to gain benefits from White later, or perhaps have him ask people from Nezzi Command to back the Jones family.

That’s why Sherry is now worrying about how to refuse these unreasonable requests from the Jones family.

Just as Sherry was at a loss, White drove the car to the entrance of the Jones family mansion.

Before the car had even stopped, led by Old Madam Jones, all the members of the Jones family passionately walked out of the villa, their faces full of obsequious smiles, creating an ambiance of welcome for them.

Seeing this, Sherry was even more reluctant to go inside the Jones family home. This was clearly a trap for them.

However, at this point, White gently grabbed her hand, and together, they walked straight toward the Jones family.

“White, Sherry, come, come. You must be tired from the journey. Please come inside, have a drink of water. We are almost ready to have dinner.” Old Madam Jones, with a fawning face, warmly said.

However, the more Madam Jones acted like this, the worse the expression on Sherry’s face became.

Immediately after, White, hand in hand with Sherry, walked straight into the Jones family, seemingly paying no attention to their flattery.

Upon entering the Jones residence, Sherry saw her mother, Zhihui, sitting in the chief seat of the Jones family, looking uncomfortable.

Ordinarily, only Old Madam Jones could sit in the family head’s seat, but now, she had given up her seat. It was clear what this implied.

What followed was that Sherry experienced an ‘affection’ from the Jones Family that she had never felt before.

The old woman referred to her as a good granddaughter, and referred to White as her grandson-in-law at every opportunity, it was as if she could not wait to display her eagerness to win their favor.

Other members of the Jones family also echoed her, almost as if they wanted to cling to them and never let go.

The enthusiasm of the Jones family made Sherry uncomfortable, even somewhat repulsive.

Seeing this, Sherry thought that she could not continue like this, or else she wouldn’t know what to say to them later on.

“Grandmother, I…” Just as Sherry was about to openly refuse the Jones family’s requests, Old Madam Jones cut in, “White, look, you are now our Sawyer’s son-in-law, we are a true family now.

Recently I have heard that the Nezzi Command is planning a new city in Sayon. Even that worthless Imperial group wants to get involved.

They robbed you of your company back in the day, and now they still have the nerve to show their faces. I think this matter can’t let them get away with it so easily.

So, I have decided that our Jones family will fully support you. We will also participate in the bidding for the Nezzi New City. At that time, we will send our greetings to the Nezzi Command. Our Jones family along with you will show the real power to the Imperial group!

What do you think of this?”

Upon hearing these words, everyone in the Jones family turned their eyes to White Mitchell, full of expectancy.

If the Jones family can win the bidding for Nezzi New City, they will have the powerful backing of Nezzi Command, which will guarantee the Jones family to flourish, wouldn’t it?

However, upon hearing Old Madam Jones words, White Mitchell showed a playful smile on his face, “Oh? The Jones family also wants to participate in the Nezzi New City project?”
