“Sayon, Bright Family.

“Are you serious? The Jones Family is really willing to give 20% of their shares to Snowden Jones as a dowry?” Upon receiving a call from Snowden Jones, Jacob Bright immediately relayed the news to his father, Archer Bright.

Upon hearing this, Archer Bright wasn’t particularly elated, but he did feel a bit taken aback.

The Jones Family was actually willing to use 20% of their shares as a dowry at such a crucial juncture, put plainly, they wanted to use 20% of their shares to entice the Bright Family to intervene.

“It seems that the Jones Family has truly encountered a huge problem,” Archer squinted, his tone filled with nonchalance, as if he was mulling something over.

Twenty percent of the shares in the Jones Family amounted to no small sum, likely amounting to tens of millions.

While this wasn’t a considerable amount for the Bright Family, no one would ever disdain money offered right at their doorstep.

Archer’s hesitation arose quite naturally from concern over whom the Jones Family had offended.

Who in the world had such a minor player as the Jones Family rubbed the wrong way?

“Dad, do you think it could be Longman?” Jacob Bright couldn’t help but interject at this point.

Upon hearing this, Archer Bright shook his head in silence, negating the possibility, “It shouldn’t be. Didn’t our Bright Family’s distributors say this morning that they want to resume cooperation with us?

This indicates that the money we paid to Longman worked. If the Jones Family had offended Longman, he wouldn’t have directed our distributors to them.”

What Archer Bright didn’t know was that these distributors had long since stopped belonging to the Bright Family. All of this was orchestrated by White Mitchell, under his direction, Longman carried out these tasks.

A single word from White Mitchell could cause these distributors to switch between the Jones Family and the Bright Family, or even sever ties with the Bright Family completely.

However, Archer Bright and his son Jacob were clearly unaware of this. They thought that Longman had forgiven them, hence returning the distributors to them.

Upon hearing this analysis, Jacob Bright nodded in agreement, though mentally he was still puzzled over who the Jones Family offended.

At this point, Archer Bright shook his head, resuming his train of thought, “Never mind all that, you go represent our Bright Family and pay the Jones Family a visit.

Those distributors who wanted to terminate their partnership with them have limited capabilities. I believe that our Bright Family’s influence could still keep them in check.

If they insist on bullying the Jones Family, use the opportunity to bring them over to the Bright Family, understand?”

Upon hearing this, Jacob Bright suddenly caught on to his father’s plan. He beamed excitedly, giving his father an enthusiastic thumbs-up.

This was a perfect scheme of killing two birds with one stone. Perhaps when the resources of the Jones Family were all pulled over, the Jones Family would become a subsidiary of theirs.

In doing so, the strength of the Bright Family would be further augmented.

Upon understanding this, Jacob Bright didn’t waste any time and immediately set off for the Jones Family.

At this time, everyone in the Jones Family was in a state of distress.

Will Jones paced back and forth uneasily in the living room, his knitted brow revealing his restlessness.

“Will, keep calm. Especially at times like this, we can’t lose our composure!” Old Madam Jones reminded him, but he was far beyond calming down.

Seeing his behavior, Old Madam Jones wore a look of disappointment. Then she turned to Snowden Jones, “Snowden, how much longer until Jacob arrives?” “Soon…”. Snowden stuttered, she was now unsure whether Jacob would actually come.

Old Madam Jones wasn’t pleased hearing this answer, “What do you mean by ‘soon’? You said ‘soon’ ten minutes ago and again five minutes ago. It has been a full half-hour since, and you are still saying ‘soon’. What exactly did Jacob say on the phone?”

“Grandma, I…” After hearing these words, Snowden Jones was at a loss for

Just at this time, the Jones Family’s doorstep was filled with a cacophony. They could vaguely discern words like “terminate the contract” and “compensation”.

Upon hearing these sounds, the hearts of everyone from the Jones Family froze with panic.

“Will, quickly, let’s step outside and placate these distributors. Regardless of anything else, we need to hold them off until Jacob arrives.” Old Madam Jones struggled to her feet, her voice filled with urgency.

As she walked by Snowden, Old Madam Jones felt that something was off, and seriously reiterated, “Snowden, the fate of the Jones Family lies in your and Jacob’s hands.

I beg you, no matter what, get Jacob here quickly. Otherwise, our Jones Family will most certainly face bankruptcy.”

After saying this, Old Madam Jones stepped out of the living room, joining Will Jones to quell the restless distributors.

“Returning goods, breaching contracts, compensation…

The distributors were in a tumult, even when Old Madam Jones put her dignity aside, they did not show any leniency. They were adamant about making the Jones Family pay.

Old Madam Jones was so anxious that she almost knelt before them, thinking back to yesterday, when they still had control over several of the Bright Family’s distributors and had just regained the GH Company.

At that moment, they were unmatched and in high spirit.

However, in the blink of an eye, they had now become like a rat trying to cross the street, a target for everyone.

“Who on earth did I provoke! Old Madam Jones sorrowfully hoped that Jacob Bright could get here sooner.

But she had no idea that Jacob Bright had already arrived. He had been watching the drama unfold nearby. He had no intention of stepping out too early.

He was waiting for the Jones Family to be driven to the edge of the cliff. When they were in their most desperate moment, he would then appear as the savior and rescue the Jones Family.

In doing so, the Jones Family would be even more grateful and loyal to him.

Jacob Bright watched with interest as Old Madam Jones, a woman of a certain age, exposed herself in humiliation, apologizing to each of the distributors.

A smug expression crossed his face.

Sensing that the situation had developed to his advantage, Jacob Bright then pretended to look haggard and appeared within the Jones Family’s villa.

As soon as they saw Jacob Bright, everyone in the Jones Family regarded him as their savior, overwhelmed with relief.

Witnessing this, Jacob Bright smirked secretly.

“Jacob, you’re finally here, sob sob…” said Snowden Jones tearfully.

With a gentle expression, Jacob Bright said, “I’m sorry, darling, there was some traffic on the road, that’s why I’m late.”

At this moment, Old Madam Jones hurriedly brought Jacob over to the distributors and pleaded, “Everyone, please calm down. This is my son-in-law, he is the young master of the Bright Corporation. He can vouch for our Jones Family. Please give us some time, and we would certainly give everyone a satisfactory explanation.”

Jacob cleared his throat, pretending to walk up to the distributors.

“Ahem ahem… Yes, my name is Jacob Bright, the head of the Bright

Corporation is my father. I hope everyone can take our family’s reputation into account. Do not put my fiancée’s family through hard times. I guarantee that even if the Jones Family encounters trouble, our family can be a good fallback for everyone. The doors of the Bright Family are always open to you. I hope you all can spare us some face.” said Jacob Bright confidently.

Bright Corporation?

Jacob Bright?

The distributors seemed taken aback, staring blankly at each other. Seeing their surprise, Jacob Bright mistakenly thought they had recognized his family’s influence, so he continued, “My family is a secondary tycoon, in a few more years, it could go public, we….”

While Jacob Bright was proudly flaunting the strength of Bright Corporation, he failed to notice that the faces of the distributors were gradually becoming gloomy.

Finally, one distributor could no longer bear it and delivered a kick straight into Jacob Bright’s stomach.

“Get lost! Who the hell cares about your damn Bright Corporation? If you dare to act arrogant in front of me, I’ll kill you!”

“What an impressive Bright Corporation, dare to intervene? Do you know what trouble you’ll get into? You ignorant fool!”

“Go and ask your dad, Archer Bright, if Bright Corporation really wants to get involved. If so, we wouldn’t mind destroying the Bright Family altogether! Get lost!”

Seeing this, everyone from the Jones Family was left dumbfounded.

What… What’s going on? Why don’t these distributors even respect Bright Family?

Who on earth did we, the Jones Family, offend!! !
