Chapter 355: Chapter 355: The Secret from Five Years Ago!
At the Jones Group headquarters in Sayon.

Upon receiving the news, Sherry Jones’s face was instantly clouded by an unbearable gloom, her mood plummeted.

Why would there suddenly be a military exercise at the celebration?

Could it be targeted at White Mitchell?

At this point, Sherry didn’t know that regarding the military exercise, so far, only a few people, including herself, knew. It was all White’s plan to keep her away from the celebration.

Sherry, who was still kept in the dark, was on edge.

She had also heard a lot of rumours about Myles recently.

It was said that Myles had a formidable background, a plethora of powerful underlings, and a significant presence in the Capital City, a city full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers.

It was difficult not to suspect that Myles had orchestrated this so-called military exercise to kill White.

Given the current situation, they must prevent White from attending the celebration.

Otherwise, given Myles’s nature, he would definitely not spare White.

With this in mind, Sherry felt a surge of urgency. Frantically, she pulled out her mobile phone, trying to get in touch with White.

However, after several phone calls, White still didn’t answer.

This made Sherry even more anxious.

“No, I can’t let my brother face Myles alone.” Sherry grabbed her bag and prepared to go out. Today, even if she had to storm in, she refused to let anything happen to White.

But just as Sherry was about to leave, Elijah Bailey and Mori Jones appeared in front of her.

“Elijah, Mori, don’t try to persuade me, I can’t just watch my brother get hurt, I…” Sherry pleaded desperately, tears welling up in her eyes.

Elijah and Mori exchanged a glance and then tried to reassure her, “Sherry, I think you should trust White.

White isn’t rash, he must have his own arrangements. I think we can wait a little longer.”

Wait more?

Sherry shook her head and said plaintively, “Elijah, Mori, I don’t want to wait. Today, even if I die, I want to die with my brother…”

Just as Sherry was determined to go to the celebration site, her phone suddenly rang.

It was a call from White!

The moment the call connected, Sherry couldn’t wait to start talking, “Brother, where are you? Listen to me, don’t go to Myles’s celebration, never go there.

We must find another way to solve this problem. You come back, come back quickly, and we will figure out a better solution…”

She sobbed, tears falling from her eyes.

She knew that everything White had done before was for her.

If she weren’t so useless, White would not have had to do things under the guise of catering to Myles.

Now that the truth had been revealed, Myles would definitely not let White go.

However, in response to Sherry’s pleas, White’s tone on the phone was not panicked at all. Instead, he reassured Sherry, “Silly girl, don’t worry, I have everything taken care of here.

You haven’t forgotten, have you? My bond with Turner runs deep. Although he’s retired, our relationship is still intact.

Be assured, don’t do anything foolish, and wait for me at home.”

“Really… Really?” After hearing White’s words, Sherry’s emotions had calmed down a bit, but she was still somewhat wary, “Hasn’t Turner already repaid the favor he owed you? Is he really willing to help us again? Brother, you wouldn’t be lying to me, would you?”

Upon hearing this, a helpless voice came from the phone.

After that, White comforted Sherry until she finally agreed not to go to the celebration.

Meanwhile, near the celebration venue, White, who had just finished calming Sherry down, hung up and let out a sigh of relief.

Keeping Sherry in the dark about everything wasn’t easy at all.

However, to keep her safe, there were certain things he had to do.

If his identity were to be revealed, it would lead to disaster for them.

Now, there are too many eyes worldwide watching him; he has to take such measures.

Thinking of this, White took a deep breath, full of guilt towards Sherry.

…

Sayon International Hotel, Presidential Suite on the top floor.

Myles, who had just returned to Sayon, stood in front of a large floor-to-ceiling window, holding a glass of red wine in one hand and a cigar in the other, calmly overlooking the bustling scene of Sayon.

At this moment, it seemed as if the entire Sayon was once again under his feet.

It has been ten years, a whole ten years!

He had left in humiliation ten years ago, abandoned his empire, and spent ten years in hiding in Quanch Prison.

Thankfully, everything has returned to the way it was. As long as he gets rid of White, not only will he regain control of Sayon, but people in Capital City would help him rise higher again.

“White Mitchell, you should have died five years ago, I can’t believe there were people helping you behind the scenes. Now, I want to see if your backers can still help you!”

Myles chuckled coldly, his face full of anger.

At the time White was imprisoned five years ago, Myles had had the opportunity to leave the prison early and return to Sayon.

However, it was contingent on him eliminating White, the troublemaker, for the man who controlled him from behind the scenes, while in prison.

He didn’t know why his puppet master wanted to deal with White, but in Myles’ eyes, White was a mere ant that he could crush easily, it shouldn’t have been a problem.

But a little mishap happened.

Myles scoured the entire Quanch Prison but couldn’t find a trace of White.

Meaning, although White was supposedly transferred to Quanch Prison, he was not there at all.

Myles’ plan fell through, and he lost the opportunity to leave prison early.

Reminded of this, Myles’ eyes flashed with a harsh light. He squeezed his hand hard, and the wine glass shattered violently, “Just a foster child from a third-tier family in Sayon, an existence as insignificant as an ant!

I want to see what secrets are hiding in you!

Someone, tell the brothers outside not to act too quickly. Wait until everyone is here, and then torture him to death!”
