King's Awakening

Before anyone else could speak, Amanda reluctantly ratted out White Mitchell and said, “Sherry, you’ve arrived just in time. Look at White Mitchell; within a day, he forgot his place.

He dares to stop us from seeing you, can you believe this?

Your career has just begun, yet he’s behaving so arrogantly. If this continues for a couple more years, what would happen then?”

Upon hearing this, Sherry’s brow furrowed and her face was instantly filled with a look of disgust.

However, due to it being night, Amanda didn’t realize the change in Sherry’s facial expression.

At this moment, Old Madam Jones, upon seeing Sherry’s arrival, quickly put on a grin and went over to greet her.

“Sherry, you’ve come down personally. Look at yourself, not caring for your health. Your status is different now, it would greatly affect your work if you caught a fever or a cold,” Old Madam Jones said with a look of concern.

Upon hearing this, a hint of self-mockery flashed in Sherry’s eyes. These people from the Jones Family only cared about her wellbeing during such occasions.

Amanda, noticing the situation and seizing the opportunity said,”That’s right, Sherry. What Old Madam Jones is saying is true. Your status has changed drastically now; apart from taking care of your health, you also need to be wary of the people around you.

You surely know, with your status, the people who were beneath you before might be looking to rise up through you. Like some people, who dare to stop even us.

Trust me, I haven’t seen anyone in Sayon that leeches as much as he does. Not even a second one apart from him.”

“Oh? The ‘some people’ you’re referring to – are you talking about me?” White Mitchell said, with a playful look on his face, not angry but amused.

“Huh! At least you’ve got a bit of self-awareness.” Amanda disdainfully glanced at White in a strange tone.

At this moment, noticing that something was amiss with Sherry’s expression, Old Madam Jones hurriedly scolded Amanda, “Amanda, stop talking!”

Amanda retorted unhappily, “Mother, what did I say that was wrong? Don’t even talk about now, White was never a match for Sherry even before. Besides, Sherry is now the queen of the business world in Sayon, second only to David Herb. There are countless people like White Mitchell.

Now that he has gotten an advantage, he’s selling favors and even dares to offend the Jones Family, he is blatantly disrespecting Sherry.

In my opinion, with Sherry’s status, she could select any kind of man she wants. It would be best if she divorces White Mitchell before they have a child. In this day and age, getting a divorce isn’t a big deal.

When the time comes, our Jones family will help Sherry pick someone younger, better looking, and wealthier than him. There are plenty of people who are better than him.”

Even in front of White, Amanda confidently spat this out without the slightest regard for his feelings.

In her opinion, White Mitchell was just a penniless leech who had nothing without Sherry.

He just had the audacity to make her kneel and apologize, how ridiculous! Now, she would make sure to disparage him in front of Sherry to make him regret his actions.

After making these remarks, Amanda even looked provocatively at White, full of conceit.

However, she failed to notice that Sherry’s face had already turned completely dark.

She never imagined that after how the Jones family treated her at the bidding meeting during the day, they would still have the nerve to tell her to divorce her husband right in front of her.

What did they take her for?

That esteemed Chen ShiMei who starts things and then abandons them?

Do they really think that everyone, like them, will do anything necessary to achieve their purpose?

Not to mention, my feelings for White Mitchell can’t be stirred with a word or two from others. If it weren’t for White Mitchell’s silent contributions, I wouldn’t be where I am today.

They even dare to defame White Mitchell right in front of me, it’s simply unforgivable!

At that thought, Sherry Jones could not help but scold, “Enough! Shut up! I don’t want to see you again, get out of here now!”

This…

Amanda, who had been looking triumphant, suddenly faltered when she heard this.

Before she could react, Old Madam Jones who was standing next to her slapped her directly in the face.

A resounding slap echoed in the air.

In the next moment, Old Madam Jones began to angrily hit the floor with her cane, admonishing Amanda, “Scoundrel! Apologize to Sherry and White immediately!

If you say another word, I will tear your mouth apart!”

“Mom, I…” Amanda held her face, looking bewilderedly at Old Madam Jones, with a sudden look of grievance.

Did she say something wrong? She didn’t say anything wrong at all!

Shouldn’t she kick out someone like White Mitchell, a man who only knows how to live on women’s efforts?

She gave her good advice, but in the end, she was the one at fault?

The more Amanda thought about it, the more aggrieved she felt, she cursed White Mitchell ferociously, wishing him all the misfortune in the world.

At this time, Old Madam Jones, who had just finished scolding Amanda, continued to appease Sherry, saying, “Sherry, your aunt just now was…”

Before she could finish her sentence, Sherry interrupted, “Grandma, you don’t need to say anything. What my brother just said is exactly what I want to tell you.

If you can’t even do this, then there’s nothing more to say.

It’s getting late. You can stay here if you want, but my brother and I won’t accompany you anymore.”

As she said this, Sherry Jones plucked up the courage, and immediately took White Mitchell’s hand, turning to walk into the community, leaving the Jones family standing in disarray.

At this time, Amanda, who had just been scolded, started her incessant complaining, “See, see, our good intentions were not appreciated by that ungrateful girl and her illegitimate brother.

From her attitude, instead of supporting our Jones Family, she’d rather see us in the dirt.

I just don’t know what kind of luck she’s had to actually get hold of the Nezzi project. God must be blind to allow this”

Just as Amanda was rambling, Old Madam Jones couldn’t help but slap her again, yelling, “Shut up! Shut up! Shut up!

Are you ever going to stop? Do I need to sew your mouth shut for you to stay quiet? Do you know what our Jones Family has missed out on because of your words?

No matter how you do it, you must get White Mitchell’s forgiveness and take responsibility for what you said just now. Otherwise, I will divorce you from the Jones family right now!”

Divorce…divorce me?
