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

White Mitchell pointed at himself again, immediately revealing a look of intrigue as he continued: “If it were me, I would also give the Jones Family three conditions. After all, it’s impolite to gain without giving.”

Upon hearing his words, warmth surged in Sherry Jones’ heart. However, before she had a chance to voice her feelings, Mori Jones interrupted.

Mori Jones asked earnestly with an anxious face, “What are the three conditions?”

This scene left Sherry Jones somewhat nonplussed — wasn’t this just a hypothetical scenario? Wasn’t this all just a joke? Why was Mori so serious?

Could it be that she truly believed that everything happening to the Jones Family was orchestrated by White Mitchell?

Thinking of this, Sherry Jones couldn’t help but laugh bitterly. It seemed that the Jones Family was truly in big trouble this time, resorting to any available help in desperation.

Meanwhile, White Mitchell pondered before coolly addressing Mori Jones,

“First, let my foster father rejoin the family;

Second, fulfill the promise to let Sherry become the general manager;

Third, and this is the most important one, have Old Madam Jones personally apologize to Sherry!”

wow!

Upon hearing these three conditions, both Sherry Jones and Mori Jones were startled, their delicate bodies quivering.

Sherry Jones quickly opened her mouth to reassure Mori Jones, “Mori, don’t listen to my brother’s nonsense, he’s just joking. Don’t repeat these words to the old lady when you go back home.”

Sherry Jones showed a terrified expression. Their father’s ashes were still in the Jones Family’s possession. What if they took offense to these words and actually scattered the ashes in the River Arch?

White was really something, saying whatever he pleased with no regard for consequences. Thank supreme-ruler Mori had always been protective of her. Otherwise, this situation could turn really bad.

Thinking of this, Sherry Jones couldn’t help but glare at White Mitchell in reproach.

However, Mori Jones’ reaction was completely opposite. She remained serious, and even looked somewhat distressed and lost, her emotions complex.

“Is that really necessary?” Mori Jones whispered, her voice filled with trepidation.

She knew that the first two conditions might be achievable, but the third one, was just too difficult.

Old Madam Jones valued her reputation greatly, even more than anything else.

How could she possibly swallow her pride and apologize to her own granddaughter?

This was as demanding as asking for her life.

However, at this moment, White Mitchell solemnly stated, “This is just reciprocity. I’ll give her three days to consider it. If I don’t see her in three days, she can take responsibility for the consequences!”

This…

After hearing this, Mori Jones had a bitter look on her face, feeling completely lost. At that point, Sherry Jones noticed Mori’s expression and quickly scolded White Mitchell, “Brother, what are you doing? Why are you scaring Mori?”

White Mitchell deflected with a laugh. Afterwards, Sherry turned to Mori and patiently said, “Mori, don’t listen to my brother’s nonsense.

Isn’t it just a joke? It’s not real, Mori, don’t take it to heart.

Don’t worry, the Jones Family should be fine. I’ll also think of a solution. Last time, that Longman seemed approachable. I will try and talk to him.”

Mori Jones nodded quietly, bitterly laughing inside. Silly girl, she thought, it’s probably because of your brother that Longman was so polite to you. Seeing Sherry, still none the wiser, Mori Jones felt a mixture of sadness and amusement.

However, since White Mitchell wished to keep Sherry in the dark, he likely had his reasons. Perhaps, Longman had helped him out of some unknown sentiment, but such help might not be available in the future.

After all, a man like Longman wouldn’t easily bow to anyone or follow their

orders, let alone to someone like White Mitchell, who’d just been released from

prison.

Forget it, right now, she needed to think about the three conditions White Mitchell mentioned and how she was going to relay them to her family.

With that thought, Mori Jones chose not to stick around any longer; she turned around and left the hotel directly.

Seeing Mori walk away disheartened, Sherry Jones immediately puffed her cheeks, staring at White Mitchell resentfully, “Humph! Brother, it’s all your fault, scaring my aunt like this!”

White Mitchell pretended to ignore her, looking at the ceiling, and then looked at Sherry with a wickedly playful smile, “What did I just say? I told you they would come to apologize, didn’t I? If I remember correctly, I think I added a little something to that, didn’t I?”

Upon hearing this, Sherry instantly became flustered. She was aware that White Mitchell was referring to the bet; if someone from the Jones Family came to apologize, she would have to marry him.

With that thought, Sherry’s face immediately turned red, spreading all the way to the roots of her ears. It was so red it seemed like it would start dripping any moment now.

The air had ostensibly become hot in an instant. Sherry hastily stood up, shyly looking down, aimlessly looking at the ceiling.

“1…1 don’t understand what you’re saying. I’m tired and I’m going to bed.”

Sherry playfully tiptoed away on her small feet with a guilty look on her face.

White Mitchell watched her shy retreat, smiling happily to himself. Whispering to himself, “I wronged you in the past, but not this time. I will make you the happiest woman in the world this time.”

On the other side, Mori Jones, whose face was clouded with worry, returned to the Jones Family mansion as if she was in a daze.

Snowden Jones had arrived back at the Jones Family mansion before her. The atmosphere in the house was extremely dark at this point.

Clearly, Snowden must have exaggerated the events that occurred in the hotel, which was why Old Madam Jones had such a disdainful look on her face.

“Mori! You tell me! Is what Snowden saying the truth, that ungrateful bastard does he not respect our family at all?”

“I’ve already shown so much tolerance, and he still doesn’t know any better?

Does he want me, an old woman, to apologize to him personally?” As soon as Mori entered, Old Madam Jones started commanding her around.

Snowden Jones stood to one side, watching Mori with a cold, malicious smile.

Seeing this, Mori shook her head silently in her mind. These people were beyond saving.

Mori, feeling utterly lost, said in resignation: “Mom, if you continue to disregard White like this, I’m afraid our end will come in three days.”

Old Madam Jones bristled at these words, demanding irritably: “Mori, what do you mean by this? Explain yourself!”

Mori responded with a cold smile, saying sorrowfully, “White presented us with three conditions that must be met within three days. First, big brother must acknowledge his ancestors and return to the family fold.

Second, Sherry should return to the company as its general manager.

Third…” Mori hesitated for a moment, then resolutely said, “Third, you, Old Madam, must personally apologize to Sherry!”

What!

As soon as these words were spoken, Old Madam Jones’ anger soared. The old lady was so angry that she hit her cane to the floor and shouted, “That’s outrageous! He dare?! That’s a pipe dream! His pipe dream!!!”

The last sentence was squeezed out through gritted teeth, indicating the fiery rage she was experiencing.

Mori saw her reaction and gave a resigned smile that implied she was expecting this response, then said resignedly, “Mother, it’s your call now whether you want to keep your pride and see the Jones collapse, or humble yourself once.”

Having said this, Mori retreated to her room, leaving Old Madam Jones sitting in her chair, trembling with rage, “Outrageous! Outrageous! Outrageous!

Our family has raised him all these years, and he dares to force me to kneel down and apologize to that bitch!? It’s preposterous!

Isn’t he afraid of supreme retribution, of being struck by lightning? He’s committing an unforgivable crime! Unforgivable!!!”

Snowden, seeing this situation, gave a cold smile. He then hurried to comfort Old Madam Jones with pretended sympathy, “Grandma, please calm down. Don’t get mad at that bastard and ruin your health.

I think we should thoroughly investigate why Longman is targeting our Jones family, as that is the most crucial thing now.

Perhaps it’s the enemies of that bastard who learned he’s back, so they’re retaliating against him!”
