Chapter 43: Chapter 43: Isn’t it a waste of talent not to do comedy?

Upon receiving news that the Woods family had already begun contacting gang factions to deal with White Mitchell, the entire Jones family was thrown into chaos. Almost everyone feared they would be implicated by White Mitchell.

At this point, Amanda, mother of Snowden Jones, was preparing to follow Old Madam Jones’s instructions to call Sherry Jones and tell her to bring White Mitchell back home.

The moment she picked up the phone, Old Madam Jones interrupted her, “Remember! Do not mention anything about the Woods family contacting the gangsters. We can’t let that bastard know.

If he gets scared and decides not to come back, then the entire Jones family will have to bear the blame for his actions.

Also, make a call to Snowden. She’s been hanging out with Jacob Bright from the Bright family, hasn’t she? Ask her to invite Jacob over. If the Woods see someone from the Bright family here, they might back off.”

Having weathered a few storms in her life, Old Madam Jones quickly regained her composure and began making arrangements.

To prevent anyone from warning White Mitchell, she even kept the plan a secret from her own daughter, Mori Jones.

As time ticked away, the entire Jones family was on edge, like ants on a hot pan.

Finally, Snowden Jones appeared at the Jones house with her boyfriend, Jacob Bright.

The moment she saw Jacob Bright, Old Madam Jones’ tense state loosened slightly.

Snowden Jones’ boyfriend, Jacob Bright, is the promising young heir of the Bright family, a high-status household in Sayon. At a young age, he already holds a senior position in the Bright Corporation, and it’s almost a certainty that he’ll inherit the family business.

The Jones family had spent a lot of money to help Snowden establish connections with Jacob, turning her into a socialite. They were counting on this marriage to bring about better developments for the Jones family. With him here, the Woods family should be unlikely to go too hard on us.” Thinking of this, Old Madam Jones’ mood improved significantly.

She took Jacob’s hand and said earnestly, “Jacob,ly boy, please take good care of our Snowden. If she does anything wrong, don’t hesitate to tell grandma, I’ll discipline her.

We have invited you here suddenly, and we don’t mind if it seems laughable, considering we’ll soon be family.

Some years ago, something happened to our family. My useless son brought home a bastard he had picked up, and now that bastard has provoked the Woods family.

The Woods family is going to bring trouble to us with their gang connections. I want to assure you again that this problem has nothing to do with our Jones family. We will not cover up for that bastard.

However, I fear that if the Woods act blindly in anger, the Jones family might be implicated. So I was wondering if you could speak up for us when the time comes. Would that be too much of a trouble for you?”

After she said this, all the people in the Jones house stared at Jacob.

“This…” Jacob hesitated, glancing at Snowden Jones, as if struggling with something.

Old Madam Jones immediately understood what was going on. “Amanda,” she said, “go bring the welcoming gift I prepared for my grandson.”

Amanda ran into the room and brought back an old-fashioned box. Inside it was a Guanyin Jade Pendant of excellent quality, worth at least a million or so.

“Men wear Kwan-Yin, women wear Buddha. This Guanyin Jade Pendant is my welcoming gift to you, Jacob. I hope you like it,” Old Madam Jones said.

This Guanyin Jade Pendant originally belonged to White Mitchell’s adoptive father Logan Jones. After Logan’s death, it was taken away from Sherry Jones by the Jones’ family.

This Jade Pendant was one of the few costly gifts available in the Jones family.

If not to win over Jacob, Old Madam Jones would not have gifted this precious Jade Pendant as a welcoming gift.

Jacob accepted the Jade Pendant and a satisfied smile spread on his face. Then, he patted his chest and said, “Grandma, don’t worry. From now on, anything that concerns the Jones family will be my concern.

We are well acquainted with Longman Jack from the underworld. If anyone from the Woods family dares to trouble the Jones family, I will make sure they regret it!”

Longman Jack?

Upon hearing this name, an excited expression showed on the faces of everyone from the Jones Family, all looked at Jacob Bright with great envy.

Underneath Sayon, there are two kings, Nan Xiaodu and Longman Jack!

Nan Xiaodu refers to Amanda, and Longman Jack to Mr. Longman, a name well known in the World of Martial.

Before this, the Jones Family’s people had no idea that the Bright Family had a relationship with Longman Jack.

“Mom, what about our loan…” Amanda’s eyes lit up as she immediately remembered the five million they borrowed from the finance company under Longman Jack.

Some time ago, the Jones Family had to borrow five million from a finance company under Longman Jack to invest in a project.

However, the investment failed, and the money was gone. But the bill from the finance company was frighteningly high. In the blink of an eye, the debt escalated to ten million.

Unable to repay the debt, the Jones Family had to sell Sherry Jones as if she were an asset to the Woods Family.

Although they got the money, the Jones Family was unable to repay the debt immediately.

Therefore, as soon as Amanda knew that Jacob Bright had a relationship with Longman Jack, she immediately thought of asking Jacob to negotiate with Longman Jack.

But before she could open her mouth, she was stopped by Old Madam Jones.

Old Madam Jones was shrewd. She knew what was important and what was not. Such chances were rare and could not be wasted on a trivial ten million.

This opportunity must be used properly!

Thinking of this, Old Madam Jones looked at Jacob Bright more favorably than ever. She couldn’t wait to marry off Snowden Jones to him right away.

Then, Old Madam Jones continued to chat with Jacob Bright. At this moment, White Mitchell and Sherry’s figures finally appeared at the Jones Family’s residence.

Seeing the two of them, the Jones Family couldn’t help but get angry.

“You tardy girl! Dilly-dallying around, do you not want to return home anymore?” Amanda was the first to confront them.

Hearing this, White Mitchell responded coldly, “Are we not welcome anymore?

Should we leave?”

“You!”

Amanda was so angry she was lost for words. Meanwhile, Old Madam Jones signaled her to stop talking.

After all, the Jones Family was planning to blame White Mitchell. If he left now, wouldn’t the Woods Family turn their accusations towards the Jones Family?

“Since you’re here, sit down. The Woods Family will arrive soon, don’t forget what you promised!” Old Madam Jones said sternly, without any expression on her face.

At this moment, Mori Jones discreetly sent a text message to Sherry Jones, warning her that something might go wrong at the Jones house today.

Upon receiving the message, a grateful Sherry Jones glanced at Mori Jones before handing her phone to White Mitchell.

White Mitchell took a look at the message and said casually, “Don’t worry, I’m here. If the sky falls, I’ll carry it for you. Besides, didn’t I say yesterday that the Woods family may be here to apologize?”

Just as he finished his sentence, Jacob, seated next to Old Madam Jones, couldn’t help but snort with laughter.

Suppressing his laughter, Jacob commented sarcastically, “Sorry for laughing. This guy here is just too funny. This kind of wishful thinking can only come from a brain-damaged case. Snowden, this is the man you mentioned who spent five years in prison, right? He’s quite amusing. It’s a waste of talent if he doesn’t pursue a career in comedy.”

“How about this? He’s fresh out of jail and probably having a hard time finding a job. I could pay for a comedy training class for him, hahaha…”

As soon as he finished speaking, Jacob burst out laughing without any restraint. Seeing this, the rest of the Jones Family joined in the laughter.

For a moment, the entire Jones Family was filled with roaring laughter directed at White Mitchell, and it went on and on..
