King's Awakening

Chapter 158: Do You Think It’s Over Like This?



“You!”

Sherry Jones glared icily at Will Jones and his cohorts, her face full of resentment.

Judging by their schadenfreude expressions, this current predicament was likely tied to them!

However, now was not the time to dig deeper, she had to act quickly and quell this crisis.

An abrupt, loud noise brought Sherry’s thoughts back to reality.

She shot Will Jones and his group a lethal glance, and then raced into the Jones Group building.

At this moment, the Jones Group office was in a state of disarray.

Papers were scattered everywhere, remnants of destroyed computers were visible from all corners.

Several of the staff still had swollen faces, obviously having been beaten up by the assailants.

And right at this moment, a group of burly men dressed in mourning attire were rampaging around like lunatics, destroying anything they saw in the Jones Group building, acting like a demolition crew.

Moreover, any staff member who dared to block their path was mercilessly beaten, acting in a lawless manner.

Seeing the state of the office, Sherry’s spirits sunk to rock bottom.

She rushed over but was pushed away again, hitting the wall with a thud.

Immediately, Sherry felt the world spinning around her, struggling to maintain her balance.

When she regained her senses, the crew of burly men had already wreaked havoc on everything in the Jones Group office.

Seeing their arrogant demeanor, the office staff were enraged but dared not utter a word, only being able to watch as they destroyed everything in sight.

At this point, the leader of the burly men glanced at his watch and whistled to the other men who were still smashing things up.

Upon hearing the whistle, everyone revealed a knowing look and congregated around the leader.

In no time, the group of seven or eight burly men, oozing a sinister aura, slowly approached Sherry, saying, “This is a lesson for the Jones Group!

If I see this wicked company open for business tomorrow, I’ll smash it up each time I see it!

If you’re wise, you’d better shut down this lousy company, otherwise, the one out of luck will be yourself! Hmph!”

The leader shot Sherry a cold, mocking glance before swaggering out of the Jones Group building with the rest of the burly men.

No one stood in their way, no one dared to stop them.

“Those bloody bastards!!!”

Elijah Bailey watched their arrogance with clenched teeth, infuriated but helpless, they were no match for these burly men.

All they could do now was to swallow their anger!

This thought made Elijah and the other employees feel extremely frustrated.

Just as these thugs left, Will Jones entered the Jones Group office, grinning from ear to ear, clearly reveling in the misfortune of others.

At this moment, he was nearly marked with the words ‘I’m here to watch the drama’ on his forehead.

Seeing his spite and sarcasm, the Jones Group staff didn’t bother hiding their hostility, shooting daggers at him with their eyes.

If anyone were to mention the greatest enemy of the Jones Group at this moment, it would undoubtedly be Will Jones. It was obvious to anyone that he was involved in the current predicament.

With this in their minds, the members of the Jones Group couldn’t help but chastise, “What are you doing here? You are not welcome here! Get out at once!”

Upon hearing those words, Will Jones sneered in disregard as he looked down on an employee. Meanwhile, Ryan directly kicked the employee whining, “Who do you think you are to disrespect Mr. Jones? Have you lost your mind?”.

“Stop it!”

Sherry Jones forced herself up, her face icy as she stared at Will Jones and his group.

Seeing the situation, Will signaled Ryan who immediately stepped aside, but the arrogance on his face remained unchanged.

“Uncle! Don’t tell me you could actually stand by and watch while the reputation of Jones Group gets tarnished? Is it okay if you go to any lengths just to go against me?” Sherry spat out each word, her eyes on the verge of tears.

Hearing her words, the disdain on Will’s face deepened, and he shamelessly retaliated, “Now, don’t make wild accusations!

It’s Jones Group’s own product which came with issues. Instead of reflecting upon yourself, you want to throw the blame on me?

Haha Lucky that I left early, otherwise I would have had to carry the can for your mess! You really have some nerve!”

“You!”

Upon hearing this, Sherry was filled with a rage so intense it could set the world ablaze. She immediately turned to Elijah Bailey and ordered, “Elijah! Call the police, now!”.

“I have already done so. I estimate the Patrol officers are on their way.”

However, those troublemakers were really experienced. They timed their escape perfectly. They are likely to have disappeared without a trace by now. Finding them won’t be easy.”

Having said this, a solemn expression crept onto Elijah’s face. He turned his gaze towards Will and his group, his eyes filled with anger.

Upon seeing the fierce look of Elijah, an amused smile broke out on Will’s face. He turned to Sherry and said, “Calling the police? Hehe By no means, you think this is over?”.

His laughter was filled with an eerie chill, as if behind it all, there lurked a grander conspiracy.

Upon hearing this, the faces of all the employees of Jones Group were shrouded in an overwhelming solemnity, as if they were under a clouded sky ready to rain down heavily at any moment.

What Will Jones and his group were eager to witness was the helpless expression of the Jones Group’s employees who knew the truth but were unable to act.

For a moment, a sardonic smile spread across the faces of Will Jones, Snowden Jones, and Ryan.

“Mr. Jones, look at you. If you had followed my advice to close down the company earlier, wouldn’t everything have been peace and joy?

This woman lacks competence. She should stick to her own roles, marry Mr. Weiden obediently, and live a happy life as his doting wife. Does she have to drag everyone down with her?” Will continued, with twisted sarcasm.

Ryan, catching on, chipped in, “Some people just don’t know when to quit. They won’t realize they screwed up until everything crashes down on them. If she’s facing adversity, that’s one thing. But she’s dragging everyone else down with her.”

Sherry couldn’t stand it anymore. She yelled at them, “Get out of here, all of you!!!”

Unfazed by the fury, Will nonchalantly said, “Instead of wasting your time being furious here, you might as well go online and see what’s going on for yourselves. Who knows, you may find some surprises waiting for you.

Ha ha ha ”

With a loud laugh, Will strode away. Watching their gloating expressions, the Jones Group employees were beyond infuriated.

“That damn Will Jones! Mr. Logan nurtured him with utmost care back in the day! He is not fit to carry the Jones surname!” Elijah exclaimed, furious.

Sherry gazed dazedly at the devastated office area, her mind a complete blank.

But she was aware that no matter who else might falter, she could not. If she did, then Will’s cunning scheme would succeed.

With this thought, she pulled herself together and instructed, “Elijah, quickly search the web! I have a feeling something’s fishy about his words!”

But before Elijah could proceed with the search, some of the senior executives of Jones Group rushed over with their phones, and announced with grave concern, “Mr. Jones! Something terrible has happened! There are numerous posts online smearing our Jones Group!

Moreover, there are countless ones targeting you personally. You need to take a look, now!”
