Sayon, the Jones Family residence.

After giving orders, Old Madam Jones prepared to personally head to the hotel where White Michell and Sherry Jones were staying.

At this moment, Snowden Jones, who had pointedly opposed White Michell and Sherry Jones, surprisingly spoke: “Gran, I don’t think this plan is very good.”

Hmm?

A frown creased Old Madam Jones’ forehead. She then curiously asked, “Snowden, do you have a better plan?”

Snowden Jones nodded, a hint of craftiness on her pretty face, she said slowly, “Gran, White Mitchell’s Three-legged Cat Kung Fu is somewhat capable, I’m afraid our people can’t handle him.

Hence, I believe we can’t win this through brute force, we have to play smart instead!

Isn’t Sherry wanting to be the general manager? Why don’t we just offer her the position?”

Hmm?

Upon hearing this, Old Madam Jones was momentarily stunned, failing to comprehend why Snowden Jones, her usual opponent, would suddenly suggest this while being the one most against Sherry becoming the general manager.

Snowden Jones, perceiving Old Madam Jones’s doubts, continued: “Gran, don’t worry. By suggesting that nuisance becomes the general manager, I don’t actually mean to give her the real power.

It is nothing but a nominal title. My main goal is to convince her back willingly, I believe that White Mitchell won’t have much to say.

If that nuisance becomes the general manager, making her responsible, she will certainly have to deal with the problems she creates. If not, then what’s the point of being the general manager?”

Upon hearing this, Old Madam Jones nodded continuously, and gave a thumbs up to Snowden Jones.

Snowden Jones then continued: “However, implementing this would mean to inconvenience you gran. Just in case the wild bastard insist on making you admit your fault…”

Snowden Jones paused, occasionally throwing glances towards Old Madam Jones.

After some hesitation, Old Madam Jones decisively declared, “For the Jones family, this time, I’m going all in, I also want to see, whether that damned Sherry can bear the weight!”

Finishing her words, Old Madam Jones immediately left with Snowden Jones, heading straight for the hotel.

Meanwhile, Sherry Jones, who was staying at the hotel, had heard the news about the Imperial Group planning to blacklist White Mitchell through an online source.

Immediately, she was thrown into a state of perplexity.

She knew her father had fallen victim to a sinister plot and lost his life cruelly for advocating White Mitchell’s innocence, the likely mastermind behind all was possibly the Imperial Group.

Before this, she had always been worried that the Imperial Group would target White Mitchell once they discovered his return.

However, she didn’t anticipate that the Imperial Group would act so rapidly and decisively, with an all-out ban on him.

This was undoubtedly a devastating blow to the current White Mitchell.

Thus, Sherry Jones was now in a dilemma, trying to decide whether to tell White Mitchell about this news or not.

While Sherry was contemplating, there was a knock at the door.

“Sherry, it’s me, your gran”, Old Madam Jones’s voice rang out, carrying a bit of a compromising tone, unlike her previous harsh tone.

The moment Sherry Jones heard the voice, she instinctively frowned, “Could it be…have they also heard about the news from the Imperial Group?”

a piece of news that she could acquire, surely, the Jones family could do the same. But the tone in Old Madam Jones’s voice didn’t seem like she was here to cause trouble.

This cast a doubt in Sherry Jones’s mind. With this doubt, she opened the door and welcomed Old Madam Jones in.

Old Madam Jones entered the room with an ostentatious pretense of regret, full of apologies. “Sherry, regarding your situation, I have seriously thought it over.

Previously, I was indeed confused and did not take into account your feelings. You won’t blame me, right?”

With Old Madam Jones earnestly clutching her hand, Sherry Jones felt uncomfortably trapped. She had an indefinite sense that something was off but could not articulate it.

Feeling helpless, she treaded lightly, “I… I don’t blame you.”

Old Madam Jones nodded in satisfaction, immediately exchanged a glance with Snowden Jones, and continued, “Good that you do not blame me. I am here to fulfill my previous promise of appointing you as the general manager.

I’ve already persuaded Snowden, she has no objections. Now, as long as you agree, you will be the general manager of our Jones Group!”

Gen… General Manager?

They want me to be the General Manager?

Upon hearing these words, Sherry Jones stood rooted to the spot, her mind a whirl with disbelief.

Just a few hours ago, hadn’t Snowden been adamant with her determined stance? How had she changed her mind so quickly?

With a look of alarm, Sherry turned to Old Madam Jones, “Granny, what is…?”

Seeing Sherry’s hesitations, Snowden immediately cynically retorted, “Now that Granny is doing you a favor, shouldn’t you be grateful?

Do you really think we want you to be the general manager? If it wasn’t for our Jones family always keeping to our promises, do you think someone with your capabilities could be appointed to this position?

If you’re unwilling, feel free to decline. But don’t say I didn’t warn you, if you miss this opportunity, you’ll never get another one.”

This…

Caught in a difficult position, Sherry didn’t know whether she should agree or not, and in that moment, she heard White Mitchell’s voice at the door.

All she saw was White Mitchell slowly opening the door, striding in calmly. He smirked: “If you’re so reluctant then, you don’t have to force yourselves. As for the position of the general manager, whoever wants it, take it.”

Whoa!

Upon hearing these words, both Old Madam Jones and Snowden’s faces darkened, revealing a look of utter disgust as they glared fiercely at White Mitchell.

“White Mitchell! This is a matter for the Jones family, when is it your turn to interfere!” Snowden retorted assertively.

At these words, White laughed coldly with an air of indifference.

Of course he knew why Old Madam Jones was there. Their humble pleas were merely an effort to trap Sherry into a difficult situation again.

Given the situation, White wouldn’t let them have their way.

Upon witnessing the tense atmosphere, Sherry hurried to White’s side. She said, “Brother, maybe we should…”

Clearly, Sherry was tempted. Whether or not she became the general manager was irrelevant; if only she could bring her father back and provide assistance to White, it would be enough.

The Imperial Group had now cornered White Mitchell and if she could secure a firm position in the Jones family, White Mitchell would at least have a place to turn to.

With these thoughts in her head, Sherry felt even more torn. At that moment, White gave her a comforting glance and walked towards Old Madam Jones.

He grinned, “If you want us to return, we can, but do you remember the three conditions I mentioned before?”

Whoa!

At his words, Old Madam Jones’s face turned to stone; it was so dark it was as if it were dripping water, and her dull eyes were filled with a raging fury..
