King's Awakening

Sherry Jones’s face darkened significantly at the harsh, mocking words of Snowden Jones.

“How expensive the wedding dress you buy is none of my business. There’s no need to flaunt in front of me,” Sherry retorted coldly.

However, her comeback fell somewhat flat and powerless on the ears of the others.

They saw her defiant demeanor as nothing more than a stubborn refusal to admit her inadequacy.

Then Betty the saleswoman, wanting to curry favor with Jacob Bright, spoke up directly, “Such an exquisite wedding dress suits only you Miss Jones.

Unlike someone who spends half a day choosing with no results. If one really has no money, better buzz off instead of losing face here.

Do they really think pretending here could prove something? Ha… simply ridiculous.”

At these words, the smug smirk on Snowden’s face intensified. She looked provocatively at Sherry.

Sherry looked away, weary of Snowden’s aggressive demeanor.

But Snowden was in high spirits, not about to let the perfect chance to ridicule Sherry slip away.

So, Snowden continued in a mocking tone, “Betty, my cousin here, she might have married an ex-convict, but at least she’s the general manager of our Jones Group.

You need to serve her well. Check the warehouse for discounted or second-hand wedding dresses and show her a few.

I guess, they could only afford such stuff.”

Getting the hint, Betty co-operated and said, “Miss Jones, that is putting me in a bind. Our store’s wedding dresses are the best in quality and design in Sayon.

Even the cheapest costs over 100,000 dollars. Even with discounts, the price won’t drop significantly. Can’t she even afford 100,000 dollars?”

Hearing this, Snowden burst out laughing, her laughter filled with the taste of mocking.

After laughing her fill, Snowden looked at a disgruntled Sherry and said mockingly, “My dear cousin, did you hear that? And you, White Mitchell, got nothing to say right? Just cancel the wedding, you’ve lost already!”

Lost?

White Mitchell responded with a cold smile, “Why the hurry? The game is not over yet.”

Not over yet?

Stubborn to the end!

“White Mitchell, you’re really shameless! My wedding dress, what will you compare with mine? Admit your loss quick, don’t waste everyone’s time!” laughed Snowden.

“Mine? I should remind you, what’s mine is not so easy to get. Prepare yourself mentally,” White replied, expressionless.

Whatever!

Snowden cast White a disdainful glance, then continued to hold hands with Jacob Bright.

Jacob Bright smirked at this moment, “You’re just being stubborn. Your stuff? We’ll be waiting at the Jones house for your wedding dress, hope it doesn’t disappoint me!”

With a smirk, Jacob strode out of the bridal shop with Snowden.

Seeing Snowden finally leave, Sherry sighed in relief and said bitterly, “White, we don’t need to compete with them.

Our wedding is about us, we don’t need to bother about external judgments. Even if it’s the simplest, cheapest wedding dress, as long as I become your wife, I don’t mind.”

There was love in her eyes as she spoke these words.

She didn’t want White to suffer indignities for her sake.

Wealth and prestige, face and integrity, those mattered little to her. The only one that did matter was White Mitchell.

After hearing what she said, White Mitchell’s lips pulled up into a gentle smile. Caressing Sherry Jones’s head tenderly, he spoke softly, “Silly girl, how could your brother bring you any difficulties?

I told you once that I would make you the happiest woman in the world. Today, I would like to add something- I will make you the most dazzling bride in the world.

Don’t worry, I will figure out the wedding dress issue.”

“But …” Sherry looked bitter and tried to speak but stopped. Words were on the tip of her tongue, but somehow she couldn’t say them.

She didn’t want to dismay White Mitchell because reality was cruel. They couldn’t afford a lavish wedding or an expensive wedding dress.

But she didn’t care. Even if it was just a simple dinner, she would marry White Mitchell without a second’s hesitation.

No material proof was needed.

Just then, the impatient saleswoman Betty, feeling frustrated, sniped at them: “Alright, alright, if you’re broke, just admit it, why the need to justify it with so many useless reasons?

Young lady, this is the sort of flamboyant man who, if he can be relied on, pigs would be climbing trees. You better wake up to the reality.

I can’t argue with you any longer, hurry up and get out, or I will call the security!”

Giving up on arguing, Sherry quickly pulled White, preparing to leave.

This time, White didn’t refuse. However, before he left, he sneered at Betty, “When your manager comes back, remember to tell her that the customer you sent away is Sherry Jones!”

Cut!

Betty responded with a disdainful laugh, her face conveying ‘I don’t care’, clearly ignoring White’s words.

In Betty’s perspective, White was a man who was all talk and no substance. He spoke extravagantly but, in reality, was entirely incapable.

Looking at his poor and shabby appearance, she guessed he might be a freeloader.

A slacker used to easy living, she had met many men like this. But she had never come across someone as shameless as White.

Thinking about this, Betty showed even more disdain.

A short while later, Store Manager Rose rushed back to the store with a haggard face.

She seemed to have just been through a wearisome ordeal, looking as tired as if she had lost half her life.

“Rose, are you okay? Come here, have some hot water.” Seeing her return, Betty dashed over with an attentive face, helping and pouring water for Rose, as if she wanted to comfort and get closer to her.

Rose drank a mouthful of hot water, eased her condition a bit, and then asked, “Is everything alright? I had a stomachache and just bought some medicines from the pharmacy across the street. No big deal.

By the way, did Miss Jones come to the store while I was away?”

Manager Rose asked anxiously as if the slightest mishap would be catastrophic. After all, this was a task assigned directly from the higher-ups in the corporation, hence no mistakes were allowed.

Upon hearing Rose’s question, Betty couldn’t wait to flaunt her supposed accomplishment and replied, “Rose, you can count on me. I’ve already handed the wedding dress to Miss Jones, and she was very satisfied.

She even tipped us nine thousand for afternoon tea. Here is the money you should have it.”

“That’s good, that’s good. I’ll note your contribution and speak highly of you in front of our corporate leaders.” Manager Rose breathed a sigh of relief. But before she could relax completely, her phone rang.

As soon as she saw the incoming call, Manager Rose’s face tightened immediately.

It was a call from the higher-ups in the Royal Group!

Without a second thought, Manager Rose answered the call. Just about to inform that everything had been taken care of, a rain of abuses came down from the other end: “Rose! Are you out of your mind!?

Such a simple task, and you fucked it up for me!? Are you trying to sabotage my life!?

I asked you to serve Sherry Jones! Sherry Jones! Sherry Jones! Are your ears decorations? Can’t you understand human speech!? You better explain to me what happened! If you can’t sort it out, you’re not finished with me!!!”
