King's Awakening

“Are you Sherry Jones, the one who almost drove her own grandmother into a dead end?” At the scene of Emperor’s Residence, Sana Robert looked down on Sherry Jones from an elevated position, her pretty face filled with disdain.

At this moment, everyone’s attention was focused here.

They all wanted to curry favor with the Robert family. Seeing Sana Robert targeting Sherry Jones, they naturally pointed the spearhead at Sherry Jones.

Moreover, on the asset verification meeting, Sherry Jones had drawn much attention, becoming one of their biggest competitors in their eyes.

If they could oppress Sherry Jones at this critical juncture, it would mean one less competitor for them.

Upon this thought, everyone started accusing Sherry Jones in chorus.

“I was saying how Sherry Jones, so young, could become the general manager of the family business. It turns out she used some sneaky tactics.”

“She doesn’t even spare her own grandmother. Isn’t she a venomous woman?”

“Get out of Emperor’s Residence, this kind of person does not deserve to appear at the Robert family’s cocktail party.”

Everyone started to accuse her, and if you didn’t know better, you’d think they had a strong grudge against Sherry Jones.

Upon hearing these words, the solemnity on Sherry Jones’s face deepened.

She looked grievously at Sana Robert, and couldn’t help but explain, “Miss Robert, things are not as you see them.

Yes, I am indeed the general manager of Jones Group, and I indeed hold half of the shares of Jones Group, but, these were all given to me by my grandmother…”

“Ha ha… You spin a better yarn than you sing.” Before Sherry Jones could finish her words, Grandy Anderson on the side gave a cold laugh, and began to interject sarcastically.

Then, Grandy Anderson continued to aggressively criticize Sherry Jones, “Are you saying Old Madam Jones didn’t want to take back the shares from you?!

Are you claiming the Jones Family willingly gave up the position of general manager to you?

Can you say your husband, White Mitchell, didn’t threaten the Jones family with force?!”

Three lethal questions left Sherry Jones speechless. Indeed, what Grandy Anderson said was not entirely true, but it was not completely false either.

“You talk nonsense, the truth is not as you describe.” Sherry Jones was so anxious that tears almost fell from her eyes.

She hastily turned to Sana Robert, trying to defend herself again, “Miss Robert, you shouldn’t believe in her one-sided statement, she’s not telling the truth.

She and Alan Austin framed my husband White Mitchell in the past. Now, seeing my husband return to Sayon, they still won’t let him get away.

What they have done is merely to cover up their plot of framing my husband years ago, you must…”

In her desperation, Sherry Jones could only reveal the events of the past, because only in this way can she stop Grandy Anderson from continuing to denigrate White Mitchell.

However, Grandy Anderson simply did not give her the opportunity to do so, and interrupted directly, “I talk nonsense? Isn’t it you who’s speaking nonsense?

The embezzlement case of White Mitchell has already been judged, and the court has sentenced him. Are you suggesting that the court was wrong?

Don’t spout nonsense here, be careful or I will sue you for defamation and have you sit in the prison cell just like White Mitchell!”

“You!”

Sherry Jones once again became speechless, her pretty face was flushed out. Tears of grievance were swirling in her eyes.

However, it seemed as if Grandy Anderson didn’t see her distress at all, she continued to aggressively berate, “Both of you as husband and wife, one embezzled public funds, oblivious of the law.

The other one doesn’t choose means to fight for property, people like you actually want to cling to the Roberts. You truly believed that Miss Robert could be easily deceived by you?

You should take a look, is this place for you to act impulsively?”

After saying these words, Grandy Anderson judiciously retreated to the side of Sana Robert, continuing to egg her on, “Miss Robert, if you work with such people, who knows when they will cheat you.

“This kind of person who will stop at nothing to achieve their goal should be banished forever, to prevent her from continuing her abuses of power,”

At this time, the onlookers around also began to chime in, appearing intent on kicking Sherry Jones out of the game.

Without competitor Sherry Jones, who had trillions of funds to back her, they felt much more confident about securing the new town of Nezzi.

“Miss Robert, this woman is a disgrace to us people of Sayon. You should kick her out right away,”

“Yes, Miss Robert, we are well aware of the affairs between this couple. Miss Anderson wasn’t slandering them at all.”

“Kicking them out would be a light punishment. They should be banished from Sayon.”

The more the crowd, who enjoyed the drama, spoke, the more excited they became, as if they knew everything.

“You… you…”

Seeing these faces full of malice, Sherry Jones felt like being struck by lightning. Her heart throbbed painfully, and she staggered back, almost falling to the ground.

But at this moment, White Mitchell appeared behind her like a savior, steadying her and shielding her behind him.

“Don’t worry, leave it to me,” White told Sherry gently.

But as he turned around, the gentleness on White’s face was replaced by a harsh look.

Gentleness was for his people, and the harshness was for the enemies!

“Brother, we shouldn’t…” Sherry tried to intervene, fearing White might offend the Robert family.

After all, the Robert Family was not to be trifled with. They are a powerful entity even in the Capital City, a place full of crouching tigers and hidden dragons.

Before Sherry could finish her words, Grandy Anderson, standing next to Sana Robert, warned Sana with a frosty face, “Miss Robert, he’s the infamous White Mitchell!

Be careful; this guy is ready to fight and won’t hesitate to hit a woman.”

Hearing this, Sana Robert gave White a cold glance like a hawk, and then straightforwardly said, “Today, your kind is not welcome at the Robert Family party.

I know why you are here today. You all just want to curry favor with the Robert family, but don’t dream about it.

The Robert Family will never cooperate with you ruthless people, for any project, be it the Nezzi New Town or anything else.

If you’re involved in any project, don’t expect a single penny of building material from the Robert family.

This is a private party. Please leave the Robert family property immediately!”

Fawning over the Robert family?

Not getting building materials for Sherry?

And asking us to leave?

Hearing this, White Mitchell just gave a cold smile. His face showed absolute indifference. Then he spoke, “Is this Miss Robert?

If the Robert family is so stuck up, well, let it be.

I, White Mitchell, have overreached. I have overreached, ha ha…”

The laughter from White echoed through the Emperor’s Residence. It was full of sarcasm. To Sana Robert’s ears, it was incredibly grating.

Then, before she could react, White was already leading Sherry Jones by the hand, leaving the Emperor’s Residence directly.

At this moment, Cooper, who had arrived late, was stunned on the spot. Soon after, his eyes filled with rage as he glared at the high and mighty Sana Robert: “Outrageous! Unfilial! Outrageous!

Sana Robert, you unfilial child, come down here now!!”
