“Jacob, as you can see, the distributorship issue has been settled, the Jones family is also standing with the Bright family. Why don’t you allocate two distributors to Snowden?”

Amanda, with a face full of expectant flattery, suggested.

Old Madam Jones joined in and said, “Yes, indeed Jacob, the Jones family has done quite a bit of work this time, perhaps you could…?”

Jacob responded with a cold laugh, “The Jones family may have caused a lot of trouble for us Brights this time, and you still expect me to give you two distributors? Don’t you find this laughable?

If it hadn’t been for the incident that happened today, perhaps I would have been willing to give you two distributorships, but some people have really crossed the line.

I don’t think I’ve seen an apology yet.”

All of the Jones family immediately turned their gaze to Sherry Jones.

“You foolish girl, hurry up and apologize to Jacob!” Amanda scolded outright.

But stubborn as always, Sherry stayed where she was, unmoving.

“How could this be blamed on Sherry? Sherry didn’t do anything wrong, this is a simple case of framing!” Mori Jones argued rationally.

But at this time, all the Jones family cared about was pleasing Jacob, and they were not at all concerned about Sherry’s feelings.

“Mori! Shut up! This matter has nothing to do with you. Your job now is to win over the Cooper family. Step back, or I’ll punish you as well!” Old Madam Jones commanded.

“Mother! You!” Mori suddenly felt incredibly cold.

“Auntie, thank you.” Sherry murmured, but she didn’t want to drag Mori into this any longer.

She wiped a tear from her eye and walked up to Jacob, saying in a strained voice, “I’m sorry.”

But after hearing her apology, Jacob made an unsatisfied face and sneered, “This is your attitude for saying sorry?”

“Kneel down, you fool!” Old Madam Jones shouted angrily.

Amanda grabbed Sherry’s arm and forcefully pushed her head down, a vicious expression on her face.

Just then, there was a commotion outside.

Twenties or so of the distributors that had previously left, returned, each of them carrying various degrees of anger on their faces.

“Fuck! Where’s that old bitch from the Jones family? Bring that bitch out to see me!”

“The Jones Group has grown arrogant, huh? So extraordinary that you dare to deliberately cancel our cooperation? You’re really looking down on us, aren’t you!”

“Old hag! Come out! If you don’t give us a satisfactory explanation today, I’ll tear down the Jones Group on the spot!”

The Jones family, who had been forcing Sherry to apologize, froze in their spots at the sound of these voices.

Jacob, who was seated on the couch, eyebrow deeply furrowed, abruptly stood up from the couch.

This…

The entire Jones family didn’t quite know how to react.

“Jacob, seems like those distributors have come back. Aren’t you well acquainted with them? Could you help us explain the situation?” Snowden hastily said.

Old Madam Jones also begged, “Yes, Jacob, those people… the Jones family can’t afford to offend. We still need the help of the Brights.”

Confidently, Jacob nodded his head, “Don’t worry! These are old contacts of the

Bright family. I just have to explain the situation to them.”

“However…” Jacob’s gaze shifted towards Sherry, before he sneered, “Someone will have to explain in detail how she forced those distributors. Otherwise, I can’t guarantee the safety of the Jones family.”

The Jones family members understood the underlying message and immediately escorted Sherry out the door.

The distributors, who were still causing a ruckus, felt their anger rise when they saw Old Madam Jones.

“Old hag! You think it’s amusing to treat us like monkeys, don’t you? You believe I wouldn’t dare to kill you now!?” One particularly temperamental distributor threatened fiercely.

Old Madam Jones was so frightened that she almost lost her footing.

“Misunderstanding, misunderstanding, it’s all a misunderstanding. The Jones family didn’t mean it. We understand it was our unfilial dauhger who used dirty means to force you into signing the contracts.

But we’ve explained everything to the Bright family heir, who has already forgiven us. Only then did we decide to cancel the cooperation.

So, we’ve transferred all of your contracts back to the Bright family.” Old Madam Jones explained, terror seeping into every word.

Whoosh!

The distributors present exploded in anger upon hearing this. Jacob Bright stood up, acting just as shocked.

Looking at the familiar faces in the room, Jacob revealed a sycophantic smile and tried to curry favour, “Gentlemen, it’s me, Jacob…”

However, before Jacob could finish his sentence, someone drove a foot into his body, sending him sprawling on the floor.

“Gentlemen, what are you…” Knocked down on the floor, Jacob looked at the distributors in a daze, his face full of confusion.

“Get out of the way! Who do you think you are, and who are the Brights!?

Another word from you, and we’ll tear you a new one!”

These distributors didn’t show him any respect and didn’t even look at him twice.

People crowded around Amanda, viciously glaring at her, “What are you staring at? Get your fucking hands off her! Or do you want me to chop them off!?”

This…

Amanda was so scared that she instinctively let go of Sherry Jones.

Then, the crowd of distributors looked at Sherry Jones and said in a bootlicking manner, “Miss Jones, are you alright? Did you get hurt anywhere?”

Suddenly, the distributors noticed a bright red handprint on Sherry Jones’s face and they were filled with anger.

“Who did this!? Who slapped Miss Jones!?” The distributors glared furiously at the Jones Family members.

At this moment, the terrified Jones Family members unconsciously shifted their gaze towards Snowden Jones.

The distributors followed their gaze, and immediately dragged her out of the crowd.

“So you love slapping people, huh!?” A distributor’s slap hit Snowden Jones’ face, making her let out a scream.

SLAP!

Not waiting for Snowden to react, the distributor gave another merciless slap to her face.

Subsequently, a series of slaps, sounding off like firecrackers, echoed through the Jones Group.

“Jacob, save me, Jacob, save me…” Snowden Jones cried out to Jacob Bright.

But Jacob Bright was already stricken with fear and didn’t dare to speak.

Then, the distributors who had disciplined Snowden Jones for Sherry Jones, proceeded to confront Old Madam Jones, “Old woman! I’m telling you, from now on, matters concerning Miss Jones are our matters!”

You and your small Jones Family should carefully weigh if you can afford to provoke us!”

Upon hearing these words, Old Madam Jones’s face flushed with humiliation, but the distributors didn’t spare her any face.

Afterwards, the distributors went over to Jacob Bright, lifting him up, “Mr. Longman wanted us to tell the Bright Family that this is his command.

If your Bright Family have any objections, you can go and find him, but first, your Bright Family need to have the guts!”

Mr…Mr. Longman?

Upon hearing this name, Jacob Bright shivered all over, stunned. He wondered why would Longman help a nobody like her?

No way! He needed to get to the bottom of this! He had to figure it out!

Jacob Bright quickly ran out and headed towards the Bright Corporation, dialing his father, Archer Bright’s number on the way and informing him about the situation.

When Archer Bright got the message, he exploded, “What!? It’s Mr. Longman’s idea!

Sometime later, Jacob Bright eventually arrived in Archer Bright’s office.

“You little shit! Tell me clearly, what’s going on? Why has Mr. Longman again come into the picture?” Immediately seeing Jacob Bright, Archer Bright started to impatiently question him.

At this moment, Jacob Bright was equally bewildered and quickly explained, “I have no idea about the intricacies of this whole situation, but those distributors specifically told me, it was Mr. Longman who ordered them to cooperate with Sherry Jones.

Dad, I think it is necessary to communicate with Mr. Longman’s side to see if we have somehow offended him.’

Archer Bright frowned instinctively when he heard this. If Longman was really targeting the Bright Family, this was serious.

“Dad, don’t hesitate anymore, quickly call Mr. Longman. Otherwise, how will our Bright Corporation continue to do business?” Jacob Bright urged.

Archer Bright nodded heavily, “Right! Exactly! I should absolutely call Mr. Longman. I need to clear this up! They must not take the Bright Family’s distributors.. The Jones Family can’t take advantage of us!”
