Chapter 220: Sherry Jones Gives In!

Translator: 549690339

Whoosh!

Hearing White Mitchell’s words, the people of the Jones Family were just about ready to explode with rage.

This was an unabashed threat, showing absolute disdain for the Jones Family.

Then White Mitchell boldly took Sherry Jones’ hand and confidently left the Jones Family, without giving them any face at all.

The sight of it made Old Madam Jones feel as if she had been greatly humiliated. She was furious, almost losing her eyes with anger.

“Granny, look at their attitude! They seem to intentionally want to drag our Jones Family down with them,” fumed Snowden Jones.

At this point, the Old Madam Jones was frazzled, her temper flaring even more after hearing this.

In light of the current situation, if Sherry remains unwilling to give up shares, and after the influential person’s wedding, what may await the Jones Family might well be a catastrophic disaster.

Old Madam Jones got the chills, the more she thought about it. Neither the Weiden Family nor the Imperial Group were within their power to resist. Merely with a flick of their fingers, they could effortlessly crush the Jones family.

But now, was there any way to convince Sherry to willingly give up her shares?

Loading with troubles, Old Madam Jones suddenly saw a message light up on her phone.

A little irritated, she pulled out her phone to read it. The very next moment, her expression became joyous.

“Sherry agreed to it!”

Watching the words on her phone, joy overwhelmed her face.

Really!?

Faced with this sudden turn of events, everyone in the Jones family leaned in for a closer look.

The message in Old Madam Jones’ phone was sent by Sherry. She agreed to relinquish the shares, but under one condition – She wanted to see the wedding invitation.

Whoosh!

After seeing this message, the atmosphere of the Jones family became suddenly heated.

Unexpectedly, Sherry actually agreed, which really was a surprise!

Snowden put on a self-satisfied look, and unabashedly said, “Granny, all this is because of our young Jacob. If not for him, how could we obtain the wedding invitation of that influential person? And how could Sherry easily hand over her shares?

Granny, shouldn’t we thank Jacob properly?”

After saying this, Snowden gave Amanda a look, which Amanda instantly understood and chimed in, “That’s right. My son-in-law deserves all the credit.

Unlike White Mitchell, who only boasts about himself every other day, Jacob has done a great favor for our Jones family this time.

Not only did he help us get the shares back, more importantly, now the Jones family can attend the wedding of that influential person. I think we should thank him properly.”

Upon hearing these words, Jacob put on an unaffected expression and pretended to dismiss the praise, saying, “It’s nothing, just a trivial matter for me. It’s hardly worth mentioning.

To me, it was only saying one sentence.”

Jacob said it lightly, but he knew it well. It wasn’t easy to get the invitation.

The Bright Family had to pull some strings, and went through several people to get the access to the invitation.

Just one invitation was priced at nearly ten million, yet still could be sold out at any given moment because of their prestigious value.

Just imagine, this ten-million invitation could only grant you access to the wedding periphery. You can’t even dare to imagine the price you have to pay if you wish to attend the main ceremony in the inner venue.

The most important point is that the invitations to the inner circle were specially made, such that even someone like Jacob Bright has never seen them. It was rumored that these inner circle invites had been auctioned for an astronomical price of nearly a hundred million per piece.

Even Jacob doesn’t dare imagine obtaining such an invitation.

Still, that doesn’t stop Jacob from flaunting his outer circle invitation in front of the Jones Family, after all, those aren’t something just anyone could get.

At this time, Snowden Jones seized the opportunity to sing Jacob’s praises in front of Old Madam Jones, saying, “Grandma, look at how nice Jacob is. We’re not even married yet, but he’s already helping our Jones Family.

We can’t drop the ball here, Grandma, right?”

Snowden’s reason for saying this was simply to gain an advantage in the Jones Family. Old Madam Jones was well aware of her hidden motives.

However, the old lady didn’t feel there was anything inappropriate about it. Instead, she saw this as a great opportunity.

If they could firmly tie the Jones Family to the Bright Family’s ship, it would surely benefit the development of the Jones family in the future.

Who knows, they might even be able to climb higher with the help of the Bright Family – a second-tier wealthy household with a strong foothold in many areas where the Jones Family needed them.

With that thought, Old Madam Jones happily said, “Very well. Jacob is a good boy, of course, Grandma knows that. Let’s agree on this.

Once Sherry pays back the stocks, I will, on behalf of our Jones Family, give you 30% of our family shares as your dowry to bring into the Bright Family.

Snowden, Jacob, are you satisfied with Grandma’s decision?”

Upon hearing this, Snowden’s face broke into a bright smile. Jacob also had a beaming smile on his face. Both thanked her hastily and followed up with many compliments towards the Old Madam Jones.

Their harmonious interactions greatly pleased Old Madam Jones and lifted her spirits considerably.

On the other side, the atmosphere surrounding Sherry Jones was entirely different from the cheerful one at the Jones Family.

After sending a clandestine message to Old Madam Jones, the weight in her heart lifted slightly, but her face was far from joyful.

She looked anxiously at White Mitchell and said, “Brother, those stocks really aren’t important to me. I’d be happy even if I don’t get them, as long as you’re safe.”

Snowden’s words had indeed touched Sherry. If the stocks she held could help White, she wouldn’t mind at all.

What pained her was seeing White offend many people in order to protect her. It made her feel as if needles were pricking her heart.

Comforting Sherry, White, while driving, responded, “Silly girl, you don’t have to worry about me, I can handle it.

Right now, I think you should focus on your work and do well with the Jones Group. That is also what your adoptive father wished for, isn’t it?

Of course, if you have time, you could also pay a little attention to us…”

White’s initial words were serious, but he changed the topic at the end, causing Sherry to blush bright red.

She shot White a reproachful glance, the red flush creeping up to her ears. Her entire face felt hot as she exclaimed, “It’s no time for jokes, Brother! I’m not talking to you!”

“Hahaha…” White chuckled, his face filled with a sense of joy.

As White Mitchell basked in the atmosphere of bliss, Sherry, blushing modestly, lowered her head and whispered, “You…You should take the initiative too, after all…I’m a girl, things like marriage proposals…”

Her voice became inaudible towards the end, but it was enough to catch White Mitchell off guard. He immediately pulled over, “You…what did you say just now..?”

“I…I’m not talking to you anymore, hmph!” Flustered, Sherry buried her face in her chest, as timid as a shrinking violet. She didn’t even know where to place her hands.

White’s face brightened upon seeing this. His mind was on cloud nine. Yes, the wedding preparations are almost completed; it’s about time to propose.

With that thought, White’s excitement soared. Like he was on a rush, he stepped on the accelerator and mumbled to himself, “It’s time to get married…”
