King's Awakening

This…

A confused look crossed Sherry Jones’ face; she had no idea what had happened or why Old Madam Jones was so furious.

At that moment, Amanda approached her with a malicious grin, her voice imbued with an ironic tone, “Oh? You’re still pretending at this point?

Must say, you’re playing the innocent quite well. But do you think you can fool us? Stop pretending, we know everything now.

It was the court that mistakenly seized the company, not anything White Mitchell did. You two are in cahoots, trying to trick us out of our shares in the Jones Family. Do you think playing innocent will solve everything?”

This…

Upon hearing these words, Sherry’s expression deepened with seriousness. She blurted out, “What do you mean by ‘tricking the Jones family out of its shares’? What on earth happened? Weren’t the shares something Grandma gave me? How can…”

Slap!

Before she could finish, Amanda ruthlessly slapped Sherry across the face. The clear sound of the slap instantly reverberated in the air.

Sherry took the heavy slap, reeling and disoriented. She looked utterly humiliated.

Upon seeing this, Amanda grew more sarcastic and her mocking smile intensified. She seemed to be gratified by venting her pent-up tensions on Sherry.

Then, Amanda continued with her barbed words, “Ah, of course you choose to play innocent. If it weren’t for that son of a bitch White claiming he was responsible for the Jones Group’s bankruptcy,

Would we have given the company’s shares to a wet-behind-the-ears girl like you? Have a good look at yourself. How much are you worth?

Don’t know? Go take a good piss and take a look at yourself. Ask yourself, are you worthy of these shares? Have you ever contributed a dime to the Jones family?”

“I…”

Facing Amanda’s pressing words, Sherry felt a wave of grievance coursing through her, leaving her speechless.

She hadn’t imagined that so many twists and turns had occurred in the Jones family’s decision to give her the shares.

The court had just explained that it was a misunderstanding caused by a new colleague who didn’t operate the asset freeze correctly. This whole thing was a misapprehension.

Putting this together with Amanda’s words, Sherry surmised that White had lied to the Jones family, just to help her get a foothold in the Jones group.

All this time, she hadn’t been of any use to White. Instead, he had been constantly finding ways to help her.

On realizing this, Sherry felt even guiltier about White.

Just then, Amanda, standing in front of her, gave her an unanticipated kick to the leg when she was off guard.

With a mighty thud, Sherry knelt down. The pain on her face was instantly visible as beads of sweat broke out on her forehead.

Bitterness, helplessness, guilt…

All kinds of emotions welled up like a flood within her mind.

Meanwhile, Old Madam Jones, sitting in a place of honor, watched Sherry from above. The indifferent look on her face was as if she was dealing with a stranger.

Then, she heard the Old Madam’s uncaring voice ordering, “Sherry, at this point, there’s no need for any explanation.

Even if you shatter the sky today, I will no longer believe your words. The share transfer agreement is prepared. Sign it and return the shares to the Jones family.

From this day forward, whether you live or die, it has nothing to do with the Jones family. We, the Jones Family, will pretend as if you never existed!”

With a smack, Old Madam Jones pulled out a contract and threw it in front of Sherry Jones.

Sherry, shocked and bewildered, gazed at the document. A bitter expression gradually spread across her pretty face.

Admittedly, White Mitchell had deceived her and taken over the Jones Family’s stock shares.

However, the share transfer was something the Jones Family had already promised her. They agreed that as long as she could manage the Jones Group well and double its performance, they would transfer half of the shares to her.

In other words, White Mitchell simply helped her to reclaim what was rightfully hers.

Moreover, she still wanted to help White Mitchell. Without these shares, and if she left the Jones Family, how could she possibly help White Mitchell?

With these thoughts in mind, something stirred in Sherry’s heart. She picked up the contract before her and instantly tore it to pieces.

“I refuse! These shares were promised to me!” Sherry declared staunchly.

“You!”

Old Madam Jones was so enraged that she lifted her dragon-head cane.

But Sherry did not show the slightest fear, meeting Old Madam Jones’s eyes with unwavering resolve.

Right then, Amanda sneered from the side and said, “Mom, look at the attitude of this damned girl. She’s so insolent that she doesn’t even respect you, the head of the family.

The moment you gave her the shares, she turned against us. What will happen if this continues?

I fear that in a year or two, she will sell off our Jones Family.”

Unbelievable!

Old Madam Jones’s rage escalated even further upon hearing this, almost grinding her silver teeth in anger.

“Fine! So, you won’t agree?” she enunciated each word. “Apparently, you’ve grown confident. But don’t forget who’s still the head of the Jones family!

Since you think you’re capable, then go ahead. Solve the fifty-million debt we owe the Woods and Thomas Families!

If you can’t, then give up your position as the general manager and the company shares. Or else, don’t blame me for disregarding family ties!”

Clearly, Old Madam Jones was on a rampage, even giving the impression she wanted to call it quits.

She and Sherry each held fifty percent of the Jones Group’s shares. If she really wants to break away, the Jones Group would not escape unscathed.

She was counting on Sherry’s unwillingness to watch the Jones Group crumble, so she was pressuring her like this .

And in truth, that was it. Out of desperation, Sherry had no choice but to agree to deal with the fifty-million debt.

Undoubtedly, this fell into just what the Jones family had hoped. They not only shoved the trouble of the Woods and Thomas families onto Sherry but they also took the opportunity to reclaim the shares.

In their eyes, there was no way Sherry could resolve things with the Woods and Thomas families; those two were too arrogant and wouldn’t give Sherry any face.

In the end, Sherry would have no choice but to hand over the shares and leave the Jones Family. By then, they could issue a statement to completely cut her off. Following this, the Woods and Thomas families would have no reason to trouble the Jones family anymore.

Clearly, Old Madam Jones had carefully deliberated over this plan to kill two birds with one stone. “Thinking of dealing with me, you naive young girl!

Ryan, give instructions to Li. Keep a close eye on that damned girl, Sherry. Don’t let her stir up more trouble.

This time, no matter what, we must reclaim the shares she holds!”
