King's Awakening

Sayon, Splendid China community.

That night, Beryl Mill left her elderly father, Vincent Mill, in the hotel watching movies, and she herself went on to join Sherry Jones for a date with their friends.

When Mori Jones returned from the office and saw that Sherry Jones wasn’t home, she asked around.

Knowing that Sherry Jones went out to see Amy and others, she subconsciously frowned.

“Is this Amy the same Amy who visited our home before, and there was another one called Fenny, right?” Mori Jones asked subconsciously.

Wen Zhihui recollected, soon after, she nodded her head, “I think she is one of them. Sherry rarely brings friends home, probably only them and Beryl a few times.”

Hearing this, Mori’s brow furrowed even more. Seeing her expression, White Mitchell, out of worry for Sherry, couldn’t help but ask.

Mori Jones shook her head and said worriedly: “Nothing, just remembered some old things. That Amy, when she came to our house, found out about my affair with Rhett from nowhere.

Ran over to me and spoke in a strange tone. At first, I didn’t realize where I had offended her, but later I remembered that I had reminded Sherry in front of them not to take on everything, especially in terms of money.

Later, when White ran into difficulties and my second brother left, I never saw them two have any contact with Sherry again. Sister-in-law, did you see anything?”

Upon hearing this, Wen Zhihui, with a bitter face, shook her head. Not to mention after Logan Jones’s death, even after White Mitchell went to jail, all their friends scattered.

If those friends back then had been willing to lend a hand, she and Sherry wouldn’t have had to flee to River North.

“Exactly, theoretically, both Amy and Fenny should have avoided Sherry. How could they suddenly agree to dine with her? There must be something untold behind this,” said Mori Jones, frowning.

At this, White Mitchell’s gaze grew cold, and without saying another word, he went out directly to find Sherry.

On the other side, Sherry Jones and Beryl Mill had already arrived at a restaurant called Phoenix Fragrance Tower.

This Phoenix Fragrance Tower is a famous old brand in Sayon, whose ancestors were said to be royal chefs.

Now, Phoenix Fragrance Tower belongs to the Royal Group and is a renowned restaurant in Sayon. Even the high-level management of Royal Group only chooses to dine here when entertaining distinguished guests.

Because it’s not cheap to eat here. The minimum charge for the smallest private room is around ten or twenty thousand, and for the bigger rooms, it could be as much as fifty or sixty thousand, even over one hundred thousand.

But Sherry Jones knew that, after all, she is the one who needs help and the other party is a senior executive of the Royal Group. So she gritted her teeth and booked a small private room here.

As someone who studied in Sayon, Beryl Mill of course knew about the high cost at Phoenix Fragrance Tower, but she also knew Sherry’s current situation.

So without thinking, Beryl Mill offered to pay for the dinner herself, but was rejected by Sherry.

Seeing Sherry in this state, Beryl Mill couldn’t help criticizing White Mitchell in her heart. It’s a shame that those uncles in River North still said that White Mitchell is a big shot, but they watch as his fiancée falls into such a predicament?

While Beryl Mill was criticizing White Mitchell in her heart, four figures appeared outside the private room.

Two men and two women. The female ones were Amy and Fenny, whom Sherry Jones knew.

As for the men, one of them was Amy’s boyfriend, Frank, the deputy general manager of a subsidiary of the Royal Group, and the other was Fenny’s boyfriend, Jasper, the heir to a second-tier affluent family in Sayon.

Talking about their boyfriends, Jasper might be richer than Frank, but when it comes to status, Frank, who has the support of the Royal Group, definitely has the upper hand. Even Jasper would often try to ingratiate himself with Frank in daily life.

As soon as Sherry saw the four of them, she immediately stood up to greet them. Unexpectedly, after taking just a couple of steps, she noticed Amy’s boyfriend Frank disdainfully looking around the room.

Upon seeing this, Amy immediately understood his reaction and reluctantly said remorsefully, “I’m sorry, Sherry. When Frank usually dines here, he only uses the large private rooms.

He’s now the Vice President of the Royal Group’s branch office. If his business friends knew he was dining in a small private room, it would be a laughing matter.

How about we switch to a larger private room? And we’ll pay for tonight’s meal, how does that sound?”

Upon hearing Amy, Fenny quickly chimed in, “Amy, don’t make it sound like our Sherry is poor.

Sherry is now the general manager of the Jones Group. Surely, she can afford a meal, right?”

Upon hearing this, Amy feigned ignorance and said to Sherry, “Oh, I’m so forgetful… I apologize, Sherry. I didn’t mean to belittle you…”

Although Sherry felt a little heartbroken hearing this, for the sake of White, she still managed a smile and said to everyone, “It’s okay. I didn’t think things through. Let’s switch to a larger private room.”

Amy and Fenny exchanged a glance, a barely noticeable cunning smirk flickered past their eyes.

Beryl, who was standing next to Sherry, however, sensed something unusual. It seemed like Amy and Fenny, whom she hadn’t seen in years, had changed.

In college, they clung onto Sherry even more than Beryl herself did, and she often jokingly called them hangers-on.

So why did their behavior now seem so pretentious?

It was known that Beryl and Sherry had taken good care of Amy and Fenny in the past.

After all, at that time, Amy and Fenny’s family circumstances weren’t as good as theirs, so she and Sherry would often buy extra clothes, meals, and even daily necessities for them.

In men’s words, they were iron buddies; so close that a single pair of pants could be shared by both.

However, how did things come to this point in just a few years?

Was it just her misinterpretation?

As she thought about this, Beryl’s face grew shadowy. She then followed Sherry to the larger private room in the Phoenix Fragrance Tower.

Even though it wasn’t the best private room, the minimum spend here was fifty-eight thousand, with a bottle of wine costing over ten thousand.

Even for Beryl, the daughter of the King of River North, this seemed excessive. Couldn’t they catch up over some street food and two cups of milk tea?

What irked Beryl even more was that even after they switched to a larger private room, Frank still kept a straight face, acting as if having dinner with Sherry and her was a huge compromise on his part.

Seeing this, Beryl maintained the demeanor befitting a daughter of the King of River North and simply ignored Amy and the others.

At this moment, Amy and Fenny exchanged glances again, then Amy feigned concern and said to Sherry, “Oh, Sherry. Beryl mentioned that you’re getting married soon. Congratulations.

When is the wedding? Are you planning to hold it in Bali or Prague? At worst, it should be in the Maldives, right?

With your position as the general manager of the Jones Group, you wouldn’t even be unable to go to the Maldives, would you?”
