Chapter 65: Chapter 65: A Phone Call Cost Twenty Million!

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Archer Bright directly took out his mobile phone, found Longman’s number, and called him.

As soon as the call connected, Archer respectfully began, “Hello, Mr. Longman…l heard you instigated the collaboration between the suppliers and the Jones Family? I wonder if we did anything to offend you?”

“If there’s anything our Bright Family fall short on, please forgive us. We will definitely reform.”

“Mr. Longman, if you have time now, maybe I could come and apologize in person?” he cautiously asked.

The next moment, a playful voice was heard on the phone. “Archer, if I understand correctly, you’re not happy with my arrangement?”

On hearing this, Archer immediately got cold feet and rushed to apologise, no, it’s a misunderstanding.”

“Alright, enough talking. You have the guts to call me, I can respect that.”

“So now, I’m giving the Bright Family a chance to express their sincerity. I want to see 20 million in ten minutes.”

“If I don’t see your sincerity in ten minutes, then, excuse me, your Bright Family no longer needs to exist!”

Beep beep beep…

Longman hung up, leaving Archer and his son standing in front of the phone in a daze for more than ten seconds.

Whoosh!

When the father and son of the Bright Family came to, panic was written all over their faces.

Blames immediately followed, Archer was full of regret.

20 million!

He lost 20 million with just one phone call!

Why did he have to make that call? Wouldn’t there be no problem if he hadn’t called?

Whoosh!

The more Archer thought about it, the more angry he got.

“Bastard! Freaking told me to call him! I freaking lost 20 million with one call, am gonna beat you to death!!!” Archer picked up an object and hit his son, Jacob.

“Ah…Ah….!” Jacob could only think that he wasn’t Archer’s real son as he was repeatedly struck.

Who on earth did I offend?!

Jacob was miserable. Meanwhile, Longman, having taken the money from the Bright Family, was in a great mood.

This also offset the debt of the Jones Family and the 10 million compensation to Sherry.

Yet, Longman did not dare to keep this 20 million. He had his own plans on how to use it.

On the other hand, the Jones Family members reacted differently after being warned by the suppliers.

Despite being humiliated, Old Madam Jones realized that if Sherry really had a relationship with Longman, it would be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for their family.

This was Longman, one of the two kings of Sayon, who could make the city

shake with a stomp of his foot.

If they could get in his good graces, what better path could their future take?

With this in mind, Old Madam Jones warmly invited Sherry to sit and inquired about her face, would it still hurt, should they put some ice on it.

The tender care she showed nearly elevated Sherry just a notch below a deity.

Sherry replied in surprise, “Grand… grandma, I’m OK.”

As for Snowden’s family, after seeing Old Madam Jones’s attitude towards Sherry, their faces turned sour.

Mori, enjoying the scene, couldn’t help but tease, “Someone here should consider apologizing?”

As soon as she heard this, Snowden felt her blood boil. She clenched her teeth in anger but the pain on her face kept her in check.

The suppliers hadn’t held back a bit. At this moment, Snowden’s face was bruised and swollen like a pig’s head.

“Snowden! Come apologize to Sherry right now! You were clearly wrong!” Old Madam Jones’s words nearly broke Snowden who left the office in anger.

Listening to this, Snowden’s mother, Amanda, visibly angered.

“Why should we apologize to her? Mom, do you truly think she has a connection with Longman? Could this be possible?

“Who does Longman think he is? He could have any woman he wants. Would he have eyes for this wild girl?

“Let her call Longman right now and see if she can contact him!” Amanda demanded.

“Sherry, what do you think…” Old Madam Jones asked gently. She obviously wanted to confirm this matter.

Sherry, not knowing how to react, stammered, “Grandma, 1…1 don’t have Longman’s contact information.

“I only met him today. We’re not the kind of relationship you think we are, I also don’t know why he helped me.

“But, even if Longman really likes me, I wouldn’t be with him. If he has other intentions, I’d rather not want these things!”

Sherry answered firmly, which immediately clouded Old Madam Jones’s face with disappointment.

“Fool! You’re totally foolish!” Old Madam Jones scolded.

Just when Old Madam Jones boiled over in anger, Snowden, who had just left, suddenly returned and glared at Sherry.

“Grandma, no need to rack your brain over letting her contact Longman.”

Snowden returned with an air of defiance.

Huh?

Old Madam Jones looked puzzled. She looked at Snowden and asked,

“Snowden, what’s happening?”

Snowden gave Sherry a disdainful look and said coldly, “Because she doesn’t know Longman at all! I called Jacob earlier, and he said that Longmanhas some issues with them, and they’re figuring out a resolution already.

“I don’t think Sherry’s credit is due here, but that Longman is using us to disgust the Bright Family.

“Plus, the 10 million Longman gave us was taken directly from the Bright family, and they even took on our 10 million debt.

“Grandma, we can’t take that 10 million, we have to give it back to Jacob. It’s not Sherry’s to use in the first place!” Whoosh!

Her words created a buzz in the room.

Amanda seized the opportunity, “Mom, I said that wild girl couldn’t forge a connection with Longman, everybody can see it now, right?

I said how come Longman would fall for a wild girl like her, argh! Apparently she’s just wishful thinking.

“With her appearance, Longman wouldn’t even bother if she was offered up to him, and yet she still dares to dream of soaring to the sky and becoming a phoenix? Keep dreaming! “
