Chapter 141: Chapter 141: Sorry, Your New Company is Illegal!

Translator: 549690339

So you really think you’ve won?

Upon hearing this, father-daughter duo Will Jones could not help but laugh coldly. Their laughter was full of mockery, indicating they had no fear.

In their eyes, Mori Jones’ question was utterly ludicrous.

The situation was already clear. The Jones Group didn’t have a single employee left to use.

Even if they tried to recruit new staff now, it would be too late.

It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that they had victory in the palm of their hand. All they had to do was wait and watch as Sherry Jones took the Jones Group, now a shell of a company, straight to its ruin!

“Little sister, why are you bothering yourself? Isn’t it much better to remain as Madam Cooper?

And Sherry, isn’t it foolish to jeopardize your bright future over White Mitchell, fresh from jail. Really, is it worth it?”

“Mr. Weiden truly loves you. You could become Madam Weiden and live a wealthy, luxurious life just by saying the word. Why must you torment yourself here?” Will Jones sneered relentlessly.

At this moment, his gaze towards Sherry and Mori Jones was one of contempt, as if they were two idiots.

“A woman’s place is at home, raising her children and marrying into a good life. It is truly better than this desperate struggle that you’re enduring.

Why must you insist on stepping out into the public eye? Are you satisfied only when the Jones Group is accompanying you to your grave?” Will Jones continued to mock.

Hearing this, Sherry Jones’ face darkened, as if a storm cloud was hanging above her, ready to pour at any moment.

But, Mori Jones merely laughed at Will Jones’ ridiculous comments, seemingly unperturbed.

She knew that it wouldn’t be long before Will Jones and his daughter regretted their decisions.

“Laugh? You’re still laughing? While you do have an impressive mental state, little aunt, it’s unfortunate… some things can’t be solved just by laughing at them.

Today, even supreme-ruler couldn’t help you!” Snowden Jones mocked, looking forward to seeing Sherry and Mori Jones’ frustrated expressions.

But upon hearing this, Mori Jones gave a playful smile and calmly asked, “Are you really that confident?”

Hearing this, the disdainful smiles of Will Jones and his daughter intensified.

However, before they could laugh long, someone from outside the door stormed in, yelling, “Mr. Jones, there is trouble! Where are you, Mr. Jones? Mr. Jones!!!”

Huh?

The sudden voice interrupted the mockery of Will Jones and his daughter towards Sherry Jones, immediately halting their laughter.

Ryan?

Will Jones and his daughter exchanged surprised looks.

“Big brother, why don’t you go out and take a look? Maybe your lap dog is in some trouble,” Mori teased with a playful grin.

Upon hearing this, Will Jones gave Mori Jones an annoyed glance before standing up and yelling at the panicked Ryan, “I am here!

What is the matter? Are you yelling because the sky is falling?”

Faced with Ryan’s panic, Will Jones bore an expression of displeasure, seemingly blaming Ryan for his state.

However, Ryan, who was accustomed to shifting with the wind, couldn’t care less about anyone’s reaction at the moment. He hurriedly said, “Mr. Jones, it’s not the sky that’s falling, it’s something much worse!”

Huh?

Will Jones was taken aback for a moment, as he hadn’t expected this response. He barked, “Don’t just hint at things, spit it out! What’s going on!?”

“It….it…” Ryan was so flustered that he was stumbling over his words, proving to be quite an annoyance to Will Jones.

“No need to ask. We’ll tell you!”

Just then, a group of individuals clad in Patrol uniforms stride into the Jones Group’s building.

The Patrol?

Seeing these people made Will Jones’s heart skip a beat, and an expression of grave concern immediately crossed his face.

He didn’t dare to offend the people from The Patrol. There was a saying, “ordinary people should not fight with government officials,” especially for those involved in business. They definitely could not make enemies of The Patrol.

With this in mind, Will Jones immediately put on a fawning, pleasing expression and respectfully greeted them, “Esteemed officers, may I ask what has happened? Is there a misunderstanding?

Perhaps, we could discuss it in my office? I have some fine pre-rain Dragon Well green tea…”

Just as Will Jones was trying to curry favor with the officers from The Patrol, their faces darkened and they barked sharply, “Shut up! Don’t smile and jest around here. We’re here on an official investigation, not for your casual chat!

Listen well! The Jones Industrial Group has been illegally registered and has now been ordered to cease operations. As the legal representative, you bear the primary responsibility!

In the coming period, you must cooperate fully with our investigation. You should be ready to be called in at any time, 24 hours a day. Is that understood?!”

A murmur!

Hearing this news, Will Jones’s body trembled, and he immediately felt a numbing sensation rushing to his head.

What is happened was going on?

It was Hans Weiden who had personally helped with the registration of the Jones Industrial Group. So why were there problems now? And why was The Patrol involved?

Could it be, was Hans Weiden playing him?!

Will Jones looked confused and could not figure out what was going on, his mood plummeting into a state of despair.

Even after the people from The Patrol had left, Will Jones still hadn’t regained his senses.

“Mr.…Mr. Jones, what should we do now? Without the company, we’re…” At this point, Ryan, with a mournful face, asked.

Will Jones had promised him triple his salary and a share in the company’s stocks.

But now, a well-run company had just disappeared, leaving him no place to cry.

Moreover, the employees who had defected were mostly because of his own instigation. If they knew that the new company suddenly disappeared, wouldn’t they want to kill him?

At this thought, Ryan felt even more depressed, presenting a tragic figure of wailing and despair.

At this moment, Will Jones, with a dark face and feeling very wronged, lost his temper upon hearing Ryan’s voice.

“What are you panicking about! The company is gone! But I’m still here! What I promised you, I’ll honor every last bit of it! Now get back and reassure the employees!

If there is any trouble from the employees, I won’t spare you a penny!” Will Jones snapped.

At this time, the ever-mischievous Mori Jones, seeing this interesting scene, slowly walked up to the ashen-faced Will Jones, and couldn’t help but tease, “Oh, big brother, so you were the legal representative of the company across the street?”

“None of your business!” Will Jones glared fiercely at Mori Jones and said grumpily.

At this moment, the silent Sherry Jones finally spoke with an icy face, “If my aunt doesn’t interfere, can I, as the general manager, interfere!?

You set up a separate company, incited our employees to defect, and led the Jones Group into a crisis. Uncle, are you still one of us in the Jones Family?!”

Faced with Sherry’s questioning, the color of Will Jones’s face instantly turned as black as coal, looking guiltily awkward.

Now, with the evidence piling up, he had no way to deny it.

However, Will Jones quickly regained his composure.

From the beginning, he had not intended to keep this hidden forever, otherwise, he wouldn’t have used his own name as the legal representative of the new company.

Now that this unexpected issue had occurred, Will Jones didn’t care anymore and decided to admit everything to Sherry.

“Yes, it’s true. I arranged all these things behind the scenes, I established the new company, and persuaded the employees to jump ship.

But, what can you do about it now that you know? How can you do anything to me?

The position of general manager should be filled by the capable. Why should I allow a greenhorn like you to boss over me? It’s ridiculous!” Will Jones scoffed with a grimace.
