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

Old Madam Jones was trembling with anger after hearing these words.

“Wretched girl! Tell me! Is what Snowden said true or not!? Was it just good luck and you took advantage of the Bright Family!?”

Old Madam Jones was leaning on her cane, questioning in a tone of accusing manner.

Upon hearing this, Sherry Jones was stunned, uncertain about the truth of this matter.

She didn’t know if it was the same as what Snowden Jones said.

On the other hand, seeing Sherry looking vulnerable and helpless, Mori Jones felt incredibly heartbroken.

At this moment, she could not help but stand up for Sherry, saying: “Mother, whether it’s luck or taking advantage of the Bright Family.

Hasn’t Sherry cleared the Jones Group’s debt to Longman Jack? And didn’t she bring in more than thirty dealers to the Jones Group?

Mother, Logan, you all should ask yourself, is this really just luck!?”

“Nonsense! Mori! How dare you talk to mom like that!? What kind of attitude is this!?” Will Jones questioned harshly.

At this point, having heard Mori’s words, Old Madam Jones was so angry that her breathing became hurried.

But Mori from her side kept saying resolutely: “Brother, it’s not me who wants to talk like this, but what you are doing is too much!

Ask yourselves, if it wasn’t for me, could you still stand here and talk nonsense?

By doing this to Sherry, don’t you feel any guilt in your conscience!?”

Mori knew very well, indeed, in the past, despite the opposition, Logan Jones had supported White Mitchell’s startup and caused problems for the Jones family.

But, before that? Have they forgotten? Without the support of Logan, the Jones family would’ve collapsed long ago!

Now they are putting so much pressure on Sherry, causing her so much trouble, this family, at this moment, made Mori feel really cold inside.

“Outrageous! Outrageous! Outrageous!!!” Old Madam Jones was humiliated and angrily screamed.

But Mori appeared unaffected, and continued: “Today if you don’t acknowledge everything Sherry has done, then I will no longer woo the Cooper family! ”

“My aunt, don’t, don’t do this for my sake…” Sherry was looking at Mori with teary eyes, feeling grateful yet inundated with guilt.

At this time, Mori comforted her instead: “Silly girl, it’s okay. If they dare to drive you away today, I’ll leave with you!”

Crash!

The announcement shocked everyone in the Jones family. Old Madam Jones was looking at Mori in disbelief: “Mori, you!?”

“Mother, I’ve made up my mind. If you guys really dare to do this, from today on, I’m not a daughter of the Jones family!” Mori replied firmly.

The face of Old Madam Jones instantly turned ugly, it was as black as charcoal.

At this time, Amanda, upon seeing this situation, sneered: “My sister-in-law, I know you want to defend her, but don’t forget.

She accepted the three conditions from that bastard personally, did she complete them? Is she talking about returning to the Jones family?

It was just good luck once, and she already thinks she’s remarkable? Let her complete the last condition before talking about returning to the Jones family, or are you trying to help her to go back on her word?”

Facing Amanda’s sarcasm, Mori wanted to retort immediately, but was stopped by Sherry.

“My aunt, you have done enough for me. They are right. Since I agreed, I will complete the last condition and leave them speechless!” Sherry persuaded.

Mori looked at Sherry with sympathy, knowing this foolish girl was really stubborn. But, how easy would it be to take GH Company back from the Thomas family?

Just as Mori was sympathizing with Sherry, Old Madam Jones also started to speak: “Enough, stop arguing!

The matter ends here today! Sherry! You’ve only completed two conditions, you’re not yet qualified to return to the Jones family!

And Mori, don’t forget your responsibilities. The Jones family is now weak, and the Bright and Cooper families are both our important allies!

If you continue to misbehave like this, not only will I throw Logan’s ashes into the River Arch, I will also freeze all your accounts, don’t forget you have a daughter to take care of!”

At these words, Mori’s face turned pale. Yes, she and Rhett did have a daughter who was a few months older than Connor Cooper.

However, she never expected that Old Madam Jones would use this matter to blackmail her.

At this moment, Mori felt even more strongly that there was nothing in this family worth her affection.

If it were not for the sake of giving her daughter an identity, she would not want to stay here to keep trying to win favor with the Cooper Family.

“I don’t want to see them anymore, Amanda, help me back!” Old Madam Jones didn’t even look at the two of them. She left the office and walked out of the Jones Group.

Seeing Old Madam Jones leave, Snowden Jones gave a cold laugh and taunted without mercy: “What, aren’t you going? Are you waiting for me to invite you to dinner?

Do you really think you are invincible just because you signed a few channels? Once the Bright Family settles their relationship with Longman Jack, do you think these channels will still be yours?”

Snowden wore a mean smirk on her bruised face.

Sherry pressed her lips together, then promptly left the Jones Group and returned to her hotel.

“Who hit you!?” As soon as Sherry returned, White immediately noticed the slap mark on her face, his eyes filled with fury.

Sherry shook her head with a smile, choosing not to reveal the perpetrator. Upon seeing this, White texted Mori Jones to find out what had happened. Just as White finished sending the message, Sherry voiced her concern: “Brother, with the funds we have at hand, I’m afraid…

She understood that the only way to get a bit of respect for herself and her daughter now was to fulfill this last condition as soon as possible.

This last condition was also the one that troubled Sherry the most.

When White was starting his business, in need of huge sums of money, Logan Jones did not hesitate to sell some of the Jones Family’s assets at a low price to support him.

Among them was the GH Company, which he had mortgaged to the Thomas Family at a low price.

When the GH Company was mortgaged, its valuation had already reached five to six million.

However, due to the Thomas family’s collaboration with several other companies to force Logan to lower his price, combined with Logan’s urgency to cash out for White Mitchell, he had no choice but to painfully mortgage GH Company for one million.

All Sherry had now was the five million that Old Madam Jones had given her to pay off her debts the day before.

Regardless, Sherry wanted to try. This was her last chance.

Because her research the night before revealed that the Thomas Family would be holding an auction to dispose of GH Company.

If she misses the opportunity tomorrow, retaking the GH Company will be an even more difficult task.

Seeing Sherry’s worried expression, White hastily consoled, “It’s okay, I’ll go with you tomorrow. We’ll surely get back dad’s company.”

“I hope so,” replied Sherry with a bitter smile. She had no confidence, but little did she know, White had already instructed David Herb to arrange everything.

The next day, early in the morning, the two arrived at the auction site.

But just as they arrived and prepared to enter, they were obstructed by a figure.

“Sherry Jones?”

A familiar voice echoed, followed by a man in a neat suit, looking somewhat greasy, blocking their path. His face was playful.

Zack?

Upon seeing the man, Sherry immediately furrowed her brows.

Zack was a senior from her university, two years her senior. He had pursued her and had once confessed his admiration in front of thousands of students, only to get rejected by her.

She felt no affection for him. If it wasn’t for his father Chris, who had conspired with the Thomas Family, how could they have known about the buyer’s information and given the Thomas Family an opportunity?

Furthermore, Chris successfully ingratiated himself with the Thomas Family using despicable means, rising to the position of deputy general manager of GH Company.

It was said that after Zack graduated, he was personally arranged by his father to join GH Company, and was promptly appointed as a department manager.

However, Sherry never imagined that she would run into him here.

Seeing the expression on Zack’s face, she realized that his intentions were far from friendly. It seemed that attending the auction today would not be easy..
