King's Awakening

Sayon Cloud Hotel.

Today is the big day when the Jones Family, one of Sayon’s three major families, will enter into marital alliance with the Woods Family, another leading family in Sayon.

However, though called a marital alliance, in reality, it is a wedding ceremony hosted unilaterally by the Woods Family. No one from the Jones Family will be in attendance, except for the bride; even her bridesmaids have been hired from outside.

The guests attending the banquet are all too aware of the reasons – firstly, the Jones Family does not qualify to be part of such an event, and secondly, for the Jones Family, this is essentially a business deal.

The Woods Family pays the Jones Family ten million, and the Jones Family hand over Sherry Jones to the Woods Family, as easy as selling goods, with cash and merchandise exchanged in full, with no further connection between them.

The reason why Sherry Jones agreed to this absurd transaction is twofold:

firstly, to fulfill her father’s dying wish to acknowledge and return to his original family, and secondly, to completely disillusion White Mitchell and force him to leave this place fraught with conflict!

A few years ago, people from the Jones Family had contacted her, saying that Finn Woods, the young master of the Woods Family, had set his sights on her and wished to marry her.

But she kept refusing until her father was poisoned for attempting to clear White Mitchell’s name. Pressed to fulfill her father’s dying wish, she had no choice but to acquiesce.

Of course, White Mitchell was also part of the reason. She naively thought that if she got married, White Mitchell would give up, leave here, and stay far away from danger.

Thinking of this, a look of desolation crossed Sherry Jones’s beautiful face. Now, less than half an hour remained before the start of the wedding ceremony.

However, as the star of today, Sherry Jones, dressed in a white wedding gown, still had White Mitchell on her mind.

She had been sitting at her dressing table for half an hour, but she had yet to touch any makeup.

In her state, she could only be described as despair beyond death.

Indeed, she felt that she was already dead. Ever since she decided to accept the Jones Family’s conditions, her heart, riddled with wounds, was dead.

Just then, a group of infuriated individuals barged into the dressing room, charging in with a confrontational attitude.

“What are you still doing here? In less than half an hour, the wedding will start and you haven’t put on any makeup. Are you thinking of backing out? Don’t forget, your Jones Family has already taken ten million from our Woods

Family!”

The one who spoke was an old woman who had passed the prime of her life. With one hand on her waist and the other pointed at Sherry Jones, she projected an aggressively imposing air.

She was a relative of the Woods Family, sent specifically to watch over Sherry Jones.

Seeing Sherry Jones’ lack of movement, the old woman gave the bridesmaids a commanding look and ordered, “You all, don’t just stand there, go ahead and help her put on her makeup!”

Upon receiving the command, the bridesmaids quickly surrounded Sherry Jones. Some held her shoulders and some gripped her hands, restraining her.

“Let me go! Let go of me!”

Sherry Jones suddenly shouted in anger, her eyes glistening with tears, staring defiantly at the old woman.

“Glare? What are you glaring at! After entering the Woods Family’s household, you dare to carry the common manners of your insignificant family here? Are you trying to rebel?”

The old woman walked up to her angrily and slapped Sherry Jones’ face.

In an instant, an angry handprint appeared on Sherry Jones’ face.

The old woman gave a cold smirk and stared at her coldly. Then she continued to order the bridesmaids to apply makeup to Sherry Jones’ face.

After about ten minutes, Sherry Jones’ makeup was finally done. However, the exquisite makeup lacked a hint of a smile.

Soon, the bridal march sounded from outside. The old woman who had been watching Sherry Jones in the dressing room urged her to hurry, “Quickly, take her out.”

Subsequently, Sherry Jones was forcibly led into the hotel’s assembly hall by the crowd, as if she were a hostage.

Surrounded by over a dozen bridesmaids, they were said to be her bridesmaids, but in reality, they were specifically arranged by the Jones Family, fearing she would cause trouble.

Thump, thump, thump…

The beautiful wedding march began to play and the host, with his high-pitched voice, enlivened the atmosphere of the occasion.

However, Sherry Jones could not pay attention to a single word. She couldn’t force a single smile on her pretty face, as her eyes turned red.

“Let us welcome our beautiful bride, Miss Sherry Jones, with the warmest applause!”

As soon as the host’s voice fell, the spotlight was instantly cast on Old Madam Jones and Sherry.

Although emotionless, her charm remained unaffected. At this moment, she was so noble but without losing her elegance. In her plain white wedding dress, she perfectly showcased her wonderful figure.

At this moment, countless guests were intoxicated by Sherry’s beauty, unable to extricate themselves.

Many of them sighed, if Sherry, with such beauty and allure, hadn’t grown up abroad, she would definitely have a place on Sayon’s beauty list.

What a pity, such a beauty was now taken by Finn Woods, the big fat pig.

Yes, Finn, standing just above 1.6 metres, weighed nearly 250 pounds, a complete big fat pig.

At this time, people couldn’t help but sigh again, why do good cabbages always get taken by pigs?

Meanwhile, Finn Woods, the big fat pig being mocked behind the scenes, stood at the center of the stage, greedily laughing, not hiding his desire for Sherry at all.

Finally, Sherry, coerced by everyone, stood before Finn. Sherry, who had a height of over 1.7 metres, almost reached 1.8 metres with her high heels – a full head taller than Finn.

But Finn didn’t mind at all. On the contrary, this height difference triggered his desire to conquer Sherry, a naked desire!

“Tonight, I will make you die of pleasure!” Finn said unabashedly, further increasing Sherry’s disgust for him.

“Goodbye forever, White.”

Sherry silently murmured the name White Mitchell, shaking all over, tears finally falling from her moist eyes.

All memories came flooding back at this moment.

She could remember the days of her childhood, begging White to buy her snacks.

She could recall being bullied and how White, even though beaten black and blue, always protected her.

She remembered promising White as a child that she would marry him and follow him anywhere if he had a lollipop in his hands.

All of her memories were clear as day.

At this moment, tears cascaded down like a broken dam. Goodbye, she was about to say farewell to her past. Take care, White, hoping you could find someone who truly loves you.

Somewhere in the hotel, the figure of White Mitchell emerged. At this time, there was Mori Jones, similar to Sherry in appearance who had been waiting here for a long time.

Her name was Mori Jones, Sherry’s aunt, but even though she was Sherry’s elder, she wasn’t much older than Sherry.

Plus, because she had taken care of herself over the years, she looked more like Sherry’s sister.

As soon as Mori saw the appearance of White, she immediately urged him anxiously, “White! Hurry up! The wedding has already started.. If you’re any later, it will be too late!”
