King's Awakening

Why is it Connor Cooper?

Mori Jones was frozen on the spot, her emotions unsettled for a while.

At this moment, everyone in the Jones family, as well as the father and son of the Woods family, were looking at her with what could almost be described as a mocking gaze.

But at this moment, Mori had no time to care about what others were thinking, she just hoped that Rhett could step in and help Sherry this time.

So, after careful consideration, Mori mustered courage and said, “Connor… can I speak to your dad, is he near the phone?”

Mori’s tone was gentle, even somewhat subservient.

At this time, from the other end of the line came Connor’s mocking voice, “My dad? He’s right here. Oh, by the way, my grandpa is also here.

You really didn’t disappoint me, you worthless woman. As soon as I mentioned you’d probably try to cozy up to the Cooper family, you called. You really are shameless!”

Listening to these harsh words, Mori’s face visibly slackened, becoming somewhat bitter.

However, the mockery on the other end of the phone didn’t stop. Connor continued to mock, “Think my family will help you? Dream on, you can forget about latching onto the Cooper family in this lifetime!

My grandpa sends a warning, don’t use the Cooper name to stir up trouble outside, you have nothing to do with my family!

Look after yourself, why are you even concerned about others? Be careful or you’ll end up biting off more than you can chew!”

Du-du-du…

After ridiculing Mori, Connor hung up the phone without giving her any chance to explain.

Hearing these words, filled with contempt, Mori was deflated, like a frost-struck eggplant.

Seeing her dejected look, Snowden Jones immediately mocked, “Why did you do that? Look, you’ve embarrassed yourself. Connor was right, you’re not a member of the Cooper family, there’s no connection!

Now look what happened, not only have you embarrassed yourself, you’ve also embarrassed us by association.

I’ve advised you before, clean up your own mess first, but you don’t listen and try to put yourself out there? Consider if you have the resources!”

Amanda also didn’t hold back, “Are you satisfied now? It’ll be harder for you to enter the Cooper’s house again.

Was it worth it for this snotnose and this dead girl? Heh heh…’

The words from Amanda and her daughter were like knives to Mori’s already wounded heart, making another deep cut.

She silently stood in place, her strength seemingly drained from her, she seemed lost.

It was at this moment that White Mitchell, who had been seated all this while, silently stood up, with Sherry following right behind him.

They quietly stood beside Mori.

“Thank you for your kindness, Mori. I remember it. But I, White Mitchell, do not regard the Woods as a threat, ” White Mitchell calmly stated.

He was indifferent, speaking as if he were discussing an insignificant matter.

Amanda and her daughter burst out laughing upon hearing his words.

“White Mitchell, at a time like this, do you think anyone really believes your grandiose statements? A recently jailed person disregarding the Woods?

Do you think you have that capacity? Is it because of your Three-legged Cat Kung Fu?

The world is filled with skilled fighters. Does it have any use? Even very skilled, can you fight against money? Ridiculous!” Amanda mocked.

As her voice trailed off, Snowden also followed up with her derision, “If I didn’t know you inside and out, I might almost have been fooled.

Not knowing one’s place, why not take a pee and look at yourself. Instead of just bragging and talking big, you tarnish the reputation of the Jones family and we have to suffer along with you!”

Despite their mockery, White Mitchell’s face remained indifferent, impervious to their words.

He further calmly stated, “You don’t believe, because the world you see is different from mine.

Not to mention the minuscule Woods, I could make them disappear in a moment. Even the Cooper family and the Imperial Group, which you regard as formidable.

As long as I want, I can destroy them instantly!”

As White Mitchell stated these words, he was not only indifferent, but also exuded profound confidence, as if everything was under his control.

However, evidently, nobody in the Jones family paid any heed to his words; they just felt he was being stubborn and refused to admit his incompetence.

“White Mitchell! How dare you! If your words were to spread, do you know the disaster it would bring to the Jones family!?!

Are we not suffering enough for you? You wretch! ” Old Madam Jones yelled out angrily.

But White Mitchell was unfazed which enraged Old Madam Jones even more. She wished she was able to sew his mouth shut.

At this point, the Woods father and son were obviously running out of patience. Finn Woods, exasperated, urged, “Enough talk, hand over my wife immediately!

If you don’t, we at the Woods will make life unbearable for the Jones!” Whoosh!

Compared to White Mitchell’s threats, Finn Woods’ words posed a greater threat to the Jones family.

At this moment, everyone in the Jones family shuddered in fear.

Old Madam Jones glanced at Sherry the moment she heard this, admonishing her with a cold voice, “Sherry! What are you waiting for? Are you not going with Mr. Young?!

You’ve long been part of the Woods family, you have your own home, why are you still clinging to us at the Jones?!

You have married into the Woods family so follow their rules; why do you keep associating with this brat. What exactly is your intention?!”

Seeing this, Amanda took this opportunity to add fuel to the fire, “Exactly, one Mori Jones is already embarrassing enough for our family.

Now, another one like you, where is our family Jones to put our faces?” Whoosh!

Upon hearing these words, Sherry’s eyes welled up with tears, clearly, they were the ones forcing her, so how did this become her fault? How could they still pressure her so self-righteously?

Isn’t a daughter of the Jones family also a person?

Sherry’s face was filled with grief and her tears were about to fall, “Grandma, isn’t a daughter of the Jones family a human being too?”

Upon hearing this, Old Madam Jones’s face instantly darkened and she yelled in fury, “Impudent! Who gave you the right to talk like that?

I’m telling you, you’re already married off, today, regardless, you’re going back with Mr. Woods, otherwise, we in the Jones family will deny ever knowing Logan Jones or having a granddaughter named Sherry! Get out!” With a slam, furious Old Madam Jones jabbed her cane into the floor.

“Grandma, you!”

Sherry’s face turned ashy pale, her tears finally falling uncontrollably..
