King's Awakening

After White Mitchell arrived at the scene, he silently stood in front of Sherry Jones, casually shielding her from all hostile gazes.

“You’re also going to have a cooperation ceremony?”

At this point, after listening to White Mitchell’s words, Grandy Anderson laughed out a sneer. Her harsh face was full of mockery, and her eyes looking at White Mitchell were filled with contempt.

Such a cooperation ceremony.

In Grandy Anderson’s view, this was just something White Mitchell stubbornly mentioned despite his circumstances.

Even if Sherry Jones could hold a cooperation ceremony, what good would it do?

Currently, over ninety percent of the construction teams in Sayon were prepared to cooperate with Imperial Group at Leonardo Kim’s behest.

Even if Sherry Jones could luckily find a construction team within that ten percent, in terms of scale and size, it wouldn’t be able to compete with the Imperial Group.

If Sherry Jones could only count on that ten percent of the construction teams, it wouldn’t even have the capacity to manage a project worth a couple of hundred million, let alone the massive Nezzi New Town project.

Moreover, would the remaining ten percent of construction teams dare to cooperate with Sherry Jones?

Who would dare to defy Leonardo Kim among the construction teams in Sayon if he issued an order?

Thinking of this, the mockery on Grandy Anderson’s face intensified. She immediately scoffed mockingly, “White Mitchell, you really can’t change your ways.

You really think that just because you’ve pissed off Leonardo Kim, there are still construction teams in Sayon that dare cooperate with your Jones Group? Stop pretending, don’t you think I know how capable you are?

No matter how much you boast, you can’t conjure up a construction team. The day the bidding results are announced will be the day you and Sherry Jones meet your doom in the Netherworld!”

At these words, White Mitchell laughed nonchalantly and appeared to be brimming with self-confidence.

The next moment, White Mitchell slowly picked up the invitation that Grandy Anderson passed to him, opened the contents inside, and glanced at it.

“Sayon International Hotel?”

Seeing the address of Imperial Group’s cooperation ceremony, White Mitchell smirked playfully and then quietly turned to Sherry Jones and said, “It’s an appropriate venue for a celebration.

Plus, the day after tomorrow happens to be a good day, Sherry, what do you think?”

Sherry Jones was dumbfounded. Initially, she didn’t react, but since White Mitchell had already said so much, if she backed down now, it would only encourage Grandy Anderson’s arrogance.

With this thought, a flash of determination crossed Sherry Jones’s eyes, and she nodded solemnly, “Yes, I think the time and place are fine!”

Hearing Sherry Jones say this, a warm smile spread across White Mitchell’s face. He slowly turned around and casually threw the invitation he held in his hand.

With a slap, the invitation hit Grandy Anderson’s face as though it was a slap itself.

“You!”

Immediately, a burning sensation rushed to Grandy Anderson’s face. She looked somewhat angry and, unable to hold back, wanted to vent her anger.

However, she was well aware of White Mitchell’s remarkable abilities, so she knew she and her people could do nothing to him. So, she could only swallow her anger, glaring at White Mitchell.

White Mitchell, that damned bastard was certainly doing this on purpose!

He intentionally scheduled the time and place to be exactly the same as the Imperial Group, clearly intending to disgust her.

But, so what? He was just asking for embarrassment!

When the time comes, if Sherry Jones can’t even find a single construction team, the one who will lose face will be herself, won’t it?

Not only that, but if the Nezzi command office learns that Sherry Jones can’t even find a construction team, what will Sherry Jones compete with the Imperial Group for the Nezzi New Town project with?

Thinking of this, Grandy Anderson, who had been ‘slapped’ by the invitation, sneered coldly and continued, “Since your Jones Group wants to court humiliation, fine, very good!

I’ll have to open my eyes wide the day after tomorrow to see how you slap your own faces!

I hope you don’t turn tail and run when the time comes, because that would be too boring, hahaha…”

After saying these words, Grandy Anderson left the Jones Group with a smirk.

The harsh laughter still echoed in the Jones Group, ringing in the ears. At this moment, every Jones Group’s employee felt as if a dark cloud was hanging over their heads, ready to pour down heavy rain at any moment.

And the family members of the Jones family who were waiting in Sherry Jones’s office not only didn’t express any sympathy but instead turned to criticise Sherry Jones.

Amanda, with a look of disgust, glanced at White Mitchell. Then, she grumpily said to Sherry Jones, “Look at this, this is the good thing that White Mitchell has done!

If you just paid the money yesterday, none of this would have happened. Now, in order to save a few billion, you’ve offended Leonardo Kim. It’s not worth it, right?

We don’t care. It’s your business if you’re courting your own death. Since you promised to help our Jones family repay the debt we owe Bing, you have to take responsibility to the end.”

Upon seeing this, Will Jones immediately came to his senses and hastily said, “That’s right, while the Nezzi New Town result hasn’t come out yet, and you still have some money on hand, hurry up and clear Bing’s debt for us!

This is what you promised yourself; you can’t go back on your word! You don’t want to upset your grandmother to death, do you?”

“You!”

Hearing these words, Sherry Jones was so angry that she felt as though her lungs were going to explode. Right now, she was facing a big problem, but to the Jones family, all they cared about was their own safety.

Threatening to kill themselves at a moment’s notice, what kind of family is this?

As Sherry Jones was feeling extremely wronged, White Mitchell, who was standing in front of her, looked indifferently at the Jones family and said, “Get out!”

“White Mitchell, you!” The faces of the Jones family turned instantly dark upon hearing his words, looking at White Mitchell with eyes full of resentment.

At this point, Sherry Jones, who was standing behind White Mitchell, softly sighed and said to the Jones family in resignation, “You guys go home first. I’ll figure out something about the money.”

Ultimately, Sherry Jones showed a lack of ruthlessness. She understood that the Jones family owed a significant amount of money this time and Bing was not a good person. It’s quite possible that the family might face catastrophe.

On the other hand, the Jones family’s faces softened a bit after Sherry Jones made her promise, but their gazes towards White Mitchell were still full of hostility.

When the folks of the Jones family left, Sherry Jones heaved a heavy sigh of relief. However, her face was no less grave than before.

With Leonardo Kim and the Imperial Group now aligned, it would become even more difficult for her to secure the Nezzi New Town project.

As for the cooperation ceremony, Sherry Jones didn’t consider it important. She thought it was just a benevolent lie White Mitchell had told to protect her.

However, when Sherry Jones suggested not going ahead with the cooperation ceremony, White Mitchell said confidently, “We’re definitely going ahead. Why not? Not only will we hold it, but we’ll also make it dignified!”
