Chapter 84: Chapter 84: The Jones Family Offended Mitchell White!

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

The Jones Family members were eagerly looking at Mori, all wanting to know from her who they had offended.

Mori silently glanced at them. Although it was only her speculation, all the recent events seemed to be related to White Mitchell.

She had always guessed that White had some extraordinary power.

The crisis that the Jones Family was facing this time was likely orchestrated by him, and the purpose was to seek justice for Sherry.

After all, the members of the Jones Family were so harsh on Sherry, even Mori found it intolerable, let alone White, who was childhood friends with Sherry.

Although the Jones Family’s current predicament was self-inflicted, it was still her home. Mori didn’t want to see it destroyed.

So, after a struggle in her heart, she slowly said White’s name.

“White Mitchell? The bastard you’re talking about? How is that possible? Mori, stop joking!”

As soon as Mori opened her mouth, Amanda blurted out. Her tone was full of disdain and scepticism.

“Mori, did you not wake up? How could a man who’s just been released from prison have such capability?” Snowden Jones scoffed.

“Right, younger sister, your guess is illogical. Anyone else would be possible, but White Mitchell? How does he have such ability?” Will Jones didn’t want to believe it either.

Mori gave a bitter smile, seeming to have anticipated their reaction.

But she insisted, “I know you all don’t want to believe it. But, this is the result of my conjecture.

Mom, do you still remember what White said when he left the house yesterday?

He said those words yesterday, and today our family is in trouble. Don’t you also think this is a coincidence?”

The Jones members looked gloomy upon hearing this but still did not want to believe Mori’s speculation.

After all, in their eyes, White was a star of disaster, a calamity, a bastard. For many years they have always thought so. Suddenly making them acknowledge that White has such skills, they were unwilling to believe.

“I think this is just a coincidence!” Amanda asserted: “He was the curse of our Jones Family. As long as he shows up, there’ll be no good happening.

In the past, my brother-in-law emptied the family’s funds to help him start a business. Now it’s because of him. The moment he returned, our Jones Family has faced disasters one after another.

In my opinion, he’s utterly incompatible with our family. He should roll as far as he can, preferably back to prison, so we don’t have to see him and feel annoyed.”

Upon hearing Amanda’s words, Mori laugh helplessly. This person really was beyond salvation. Even in such a crisis, she still wanted to shift the blame on others.

At this moment, Mori felt even more disillusioned with this family.

Old Madam Jones, who had been frowning and silent, after much hesitation, finally spoke: “Mori, do you have any evidence to support your speculation?”

Upon hearing this, Mori shook her head, feeling disheartened: “They’re all my guesses. If you don’t believe in them, then there’s nothing I can do. We’ll just wait for our family to be destroyed.”

After hearing Mori’s words, Old Madam Jones showed a hint of resentment but did not lash out. Instead, she spoke in a deep voice: “I’ll trust you this once.”

Then, Old Madam Jones turned to Snowden and said: “Snowden, go with Mori. On behalf of our Jones Family, apologize to White Mitchell.”

“Grandma! Why should I apologize to that bastard? I won’t do it!” Snowden protested, saying. There was no way she would bow down to White.

Upon hearing this, Old Madam Jones’s face immediately darkened, and she scolded: “We can’t rely on the Bright Family now, we can only try Mori’s way. Can’t you make a little sacrifice?

If you agree to go, when you marry Jacob, I will still give you ten percent of the shares and let you marry into the Bright Family in style.

“But if you don’t go today, you should forget about getting a single penny from the Jones Family!”

“Grandma, you!” Snowden Jones was left speechless, her pretty face full of resentment.

Old Madam Jones ignored Snowden, acting as if she hadn’t noticed her expression, and turned to Mori Jones, saying, “If we, the Jones Family, manage to pull through this time, then I will believe your words.”

Mori Jones just gave a wry smile upon hearing this and didn’t say anything more.

She walked directly to Snowden Jones and casually said, “Aren’t you coming?” Snowden Jones glared, stamped her foot angrily, and then reluctantly followed them.

Old Madam Jones let out a heavy sigh as she watched the retreating figures of Mori Jones and Snowden Jones. She became listless, looking much older all of a sudden.

At this moment, inside the hotel where White Mitchell and Sherry Jones were staying, Sherry maintained a downcast expression, and no matter how White tried to comfort her, she remained despondent.

She was filled with self-blame, feeling that if only she were stronger, the Jones Family wouldn’t make things difficult for her and White Mitchell.

If only she could become the CEO of the Jones Family, then she would be able to fulfill her father’s last wishes and also help White Mitchell overturn his charges and clear his name.

But now, it was all too late. She blamed herself for being incapable and for not gaining the approval of the Jones Family, which had led to the current situation.

“Brother, I’m sorry, it’s all my fault. I’m useless, not only am I unable to help you, I even dragged you into all of these troubles with the Jones Family…” After saying this, her eyes reddened once again.

Seeing Sherry like this, White Mitchell hurriedly and patiently comforted her, “It’s not your fault. Even if you were more capable, they would not have let you be the CEO.

When it comes down to it, their actions are what’s causing their loss. Their inability to see your worth is a reflection of their lack of vision.

However, I believe they will regret it soon. Maybe they’ll even come to beg for your return.”

Hearing White Mitchell’s comforting words made Sherry Jones feel even more bitter. How could that be possible? They had made their position clear yesterday; there’s no way they would allow me to return.

“Brother, actually, I’ve thought about it. I’d be willing to serve as Snowden’s deputy. It’s better than my current situation,” Sherry Jones said, heartbroken.

White Mitchell reached out and lightly scratched her cute little nose, smiled, and said, “How could that be? I told you that you can definitely become the CEO. Don’t you trust me?”

Sherry Jones rolled her eyes at him and, fighting back tears, she broke into a smile, “All you do is brag. If you keep this up, I might just stop crying out of embarrassment.”

Seeing Sherry Jones finally crack a smile, White Mitchell also started laughing. At this moment, there was a knock at the door.

“Sherry, are you in there? It’s me, Mori,” Mori Jones’s voice came from the other side of the door.

Sherry Jones was startled and looked at White Mitchell in confusion, “What is Mori doing here?”

Upon hearing this, White Mitchell said, teasingly, “Maybe, she’s here with the

Jones Family to apologize and ask for your return?”

When Sherry Jones heard this, she gave him a glare, “Quit your bluffing, you’re about to burst your own bubble.”

“You don’t believe me? If you don’t, let’s make a bet. If I’m right, you agree to marry me. What do you say?” White Mitchell suggested with a grin.

Sherry Jones blushed and spat at White Mitchell, “You’re always joking around. Now’s not the time, I’m ignoring you. I’m going to open the door.”

After saying this, Sherry Jones ran off to open the door, her face flushed and her ears burning.

But the moment she opened the door, she froze in her tracks, her expression turned ice cold and she said with disdain, “Snowden Jones? What are you doing here?”
