King's Awakening

“Amy, you…!”

Beryl Mill was absolutely livid upon hearing these words.

Amy was clearly trying to embarrass Sherry Jones. To think that Amy had become so snobbish after all these years of not meeting.

Beryl shouldn’t have arranged this reunion, then Amy wouldn’t have had this opportunity.

But just when Beryl was about to confront Amy, Sherry stopped her under the table, not allowing her to continue speaking.

“Sherry, what she’s doing…” Beryl looked anxiously at Sherry, feeling indignant for her.

Back in school, Sherry would always think of Amy, treating her like a dear friend. Whenever Amy was wronged, Sherry would be more upset than if she herself were wronged.

But now Amy, every sentence seems to carry a sting, acting in a strange and sarcastic manner.

When Beryl felt indignant for Sherry, Sherry forced out a strained smile and said to Amy, “I…my wedding is scheduled for October 1st, I didn’t plan to conduct it abroad.

Planning to have a simple ceremony in Sayon is enough, not planning to invite too many people, just some close friends.”

Hearing this, Amy’s harsh face held a smirk, her eyes flashing an mocking light, she seemed to have an air of triumph.

Back in school, Sherry was like a princess high above them and they always seemed to be like servants by her side.

When the princess was pleased, she’d reward them with bags and cosmetics. However, in Amy and Fenny’s eyes, those were things that Sherry disdained to use. Or perhaps, they were gifts from some annoying suitors which she didn’t want and would give to them.

What was she so proud about?

Thirty years in the east, thirty years in the west, isn’t it now Amy’s turn?

With this thought, Amy raised her arrogant head towards the sky and continued in a strange tone: “Oh? Planning to hold it in Sayon? Isn’t that beneath you?

Could it be that your fiancé is broke? But that figures… Beryl told me, your fiancé is the ‘big brother’ you used to talk so much about, what’s his name?”

Fenny saw this and immediately mocked, “Isn’t it the famous White Mitchell who caused a stir in Sayon five years ago? Amy, how could you forget?”

Hearing this, even the normally composed Sherry was becoming irritated.

If being White Mitchell’s scales was her armor, then White was her’s too. She wouldn’t let anyone tarnish him in front of her.

However, Amy and Fenny seemed to completely ignore the change in Sherry’s face and continued their mockery.

“Oh, now I remember. He’s the one who was kicked out by Imperial Group five years ago and ended up in jail. My memory is so poor, if Fenny hadn’t reminded me, I would have forgotten all about it,” Amy said, pretending to just recall it.

At this point, Fenny chuckled triumphantly and feigned sympathy, “Amy, he just got out of jail, he can’t have much money, can he?

Hosting a wedding in Sayon, that would be the most normal thing to do. We should be understanding.”

“Understanding, totally understanding,” Amy sneered, and then continued to Sherry, “Sherry, congratulations. After all these years of waiting, you’ve finally gotten your head above water.

Although White Mitchell has been in prison and is down on his luck, it doesn’t matter. In this day and age, mooching isn’t such a rare thing.

You are the General Manager of Jones Group, you can afford to keep a man who has been in prison, can’t you?”

If Amy and the others belittled Sherry herself, she might be able to tolerate it. But if they ridiculed White Mitchell, that was where Sherry drew the line.

But just as Sherry was about to defend White, the door of the private room slowly opened. White Mitchell, in casual clothes, appeared before everyone.

Hmm?

The sudden appearance of White Mitchell immediately drew everyone’s attention.

When Sherry saw White Mitchell, her face suddenly became complex.

She feared that Amy and the others would continue to ridicule him in front of White.

So, Sherry Jones was the first to stand up and hasten to White Mitchell’s side to take him away, not wanting Amy and the others to mock him.

However, at that point, Amy and Fenny exchanged a glance at each other, a playful smirk crawling onto their faces.

“Sherry, isn’t this your fiancé? Why don’t you introduce us?” Amy sneered, her words dripping with ridicule.

Fenny chimed in, “Sherry, stop being so secretive now, almost time for your wedding. Remember, you once showed us his photos, they’re etched in our memory.”

Upon hearing this, Sherry Jones’s expression became quite unnatural, her face flushed, looking somewhat stifled.

“Brother, let’s not bother about them. Let’s go,” Sherry suggested, her lips twisted.

Hearing this, White Mitchell gave a faint smile, then casually responded, “My apologies, just now, I was dining with a few friends here and once I heard Sherry was here, I thought to join her.

Allow me to do a brief self-introduction, my name is White Mitchell.”

After that, White Mitchell affectionately tousled Sherry’s hair and said, “Silly girl, didn’t I tell you? When you dine here, tell them my name.”

Huh?

Sherry Jones looked somewhat stunned, completely sure that White Mitchell had never told her anything like that before.

So now, what was…?

Just as Sherry Jones looked bewildered, Amy and Fenny, still sitting in their seats, showed contemptuous expressions.

“Use your name, White Mitchell?”

“Who in the entire Sayon would dare to associate with you?”

“Aren’t they openly opposing the Imperial Group?”

“What, does using your name get a discount, or a fracture?”

Thinking of this, Amy snickered sarcastically, “Oh, it seems like Mr. Mitchell is a regular here? How come we’ve never seen you before?

I often dine here with my boyfriend Jimmy.”

At this moment, Amy’s boyfriend Frank looked arrogantly at White Mitchell, then took his gaze back immediately, a serious look on his face as if he completely ignored White Mitchell.

“Brother, let’s just go,” Sherry Jones, feeling uneasy, quickly pleaded. She thought White Mitchell had just spoken up to defend her.

White Mitchell had been in jail for five years, and after coming out, he had been with her all the time, there was no way he would have come to the Phoenix Fragrance Tower.

Even if he had been here five years ago, it would have been long in the past, and if exposed, it would only make Amy and her group more arrogant and mock him even more.

However, White Mitchell simply replied calmly, “Is that so? That’s quite a coincidence, but I’ve never seen you guys either. However, I usually dine in the large private rooms, I’ve never come to these small private rooms before.

So, it’s normal that you haven’t seen me.”

These small private rooms?

We haven’t seen him?

What did he mean by that? Was he saying that we weren’t qualified to see him?

Upon hearing this, a wave of displeasure quickly swept Amy’s face, and her boyfriend Frank also shot White Mitchell a glance, his eyes filled with disdain.

At this moment, Fenny’s boyfriend Jasper, eager to curry favor with Frank, snickered derisively at White Mitchell, “Bro, you’re really full of yourself, where’d you learn that? In a jail?

Don’t tell me you actually think we don’t know you were just released from jail?

Don’t blame me for speaking bluntly, do you even know what a large private room is? That’s the room where the minimum consumption starts at one hundred thousand, just a few bucks in your pocket, how many times can you afford to come here?

Pretending to be a regular here? You’re not afraid of twisting your tongue with all the lies you’re spouting!”
