King's Awakening

Grandy Anderson immediately shut her mouth, a pallor of ashes quickly desolate her pretty face, as if something was lodging in her throat that she wanted to throw up but couldn’t.

What followed next almost had Grandy Anderson collapsing on the spot.

Cooper, with an apologetic look, took over a contract-like document from the butler and handed it directly to Sherry Jones.

“This is…?” Sherry couldn’t quite grasp what Cooper was doing.

Seeing this, Cooper smiled lightly and spoke, “Miss Jones, this is Dragon Steel Building Materials’ exclusive agency agreement. From now on, you will be Dragon Steel Building Materials’ exclusive distributor in Sayon. This is a small token of goodwill, I hope you will accept it.”

At that moment, Cooper was genuinely sincere, seemingly apologetic for his granddaughter’s actions the previous day.

“Dragon… Dragon Steel Building Materials’ exclusive distributor!?”

Upon seeing Cooper’s gesture, everyone froze, as if witnessing something unbelievably shocking.

“Why… why is this happening!?”

After hearing Cooper’s words, Grandy Anderson looked at Cooper with her brows knitted and a shocked expression, “Why is it that despite Imperial Group’s earnest attempts, we couldn’t gain Cooper’s favor, but Sherry Jones could get it effortlessly?”

If she had known, she would have not instigated Sana against Sherry at Emperor’s Residence yesterday.

If not for that, would Cooper feel guilty because his granddaughter misunderstood Sherry?

Not only did he personally come and apologize, but he also straight up gave Sherry Jones the exclusive distribution rights!

Who could’ve anticipated that all her schemes would end up unknowingly dressing up the wedding of Sherry Jones?

At that thought, flames of anger seemed ready to burst from Grandy Anderson’s eyes, her gaze filled with malice as she glared at Sherry and White Mitchell.

“White Mitchell! Sherry! I won’t forget this!!” Grandy Anderson gritted her teeth, then prepared to leave the scene with her crew.

But just as she was about to step away, Cooper turned to her after glancing at White Mitchell and spoke, “Think you can come and go as you please?”

At the sound of his voice, Grandy’s expression froze, she hastily put on a weak smile, turned around to look at Cooper and stammered: “Elder Robert… I…”

“Hmph!”

With a cold snort, Cooper’s expression immediately darkened. The next moment, the butler who had been standing by him strode over to Grandy Anderson.

Two crisp slaps landed mercilessly on Grandy Anderson’s face.

“This is a warning. If you dare utter nonsense in front of my granddaughter again, I will take your life! Remember, these are my words, Cooper’s!” Cooper said sternly.

Gulp!

Hearing his words, Grandy Anderson shivered, swallowing reflexively, then promptly began to apologize and beg for mercy from Cooper.

“Get lost!”

Cooper said coldly.

Hearing this, Grandy Anderson seemed to be pardoned, she left the scene with terror in her heart.

But once she left the Jones Group, Grandy Anderson’s face transformed as though switching a mask, grinding her teeth in rage, “Damn it! Sherry Jones, you little bitch, I’ll make you pay sooner or later!

You think just because you got Dragon Steel Building Materials’ exclusive distributorship, you’ve won?

Lizards like you wouldn’t know. The Nezzi New Town development project has already been finalized to be ours, the Imperial Group’s. When the bidding results are officially announced, I’ll make sure you can neither live nor die…”

Sayon, Imperial Group.

“What? Cooper personally gave the exclusive distributorship of Dragon Steel Building Materials to Sherry Jones!?” Alan Austin was outraged when he heard the news.

Who could have thought that his elaborate plot to use Cooper against Sherry Jones ended up handing her a significant advantage?

The exclusive distributorship of Dragon Steel Building Materials!

This was the asset coveted by many businessmen in Sayon, and now, right at the crucial moment of the Nezzi New Town project bidding, it fell into Sherry Jones’ hands.

Now, with both the necessary funds and construction materials in Sherry’s hands, his own advantages were being eroded!

Thinking about this, Alan Austin’s heart was smothered with discomfort. If it wasn’t for the promise he had from David Herb, he probably would have freaked out by now.

“No, we cannot let Sherry Jones ruin our plans! Get Noah Weiden and Messiah Anderson here immediately,” Alan Austin ordered.

Before long, Noah Weiden and Messiah Anderson appeared in the president’s office of the Imperial Group.

Alan Austin got straight to the point, briefly explaining the incident at the Jones Group, then took out a city map of Sayon.

On the map, there was a large region circled in red.

“According to my men observing over the past few days, David Herb’s survey team has been frequenting this area. I suspect this is the chosen location for the Nezzi New Town project,” Alan Austin said, indicating the area enclosed in the red circle.

Then, he continued, “Currently, in Sayon there are only a handful of undeveloped areas that can accommodate the Nezzi New Town project. As long as we can get to it first and secure this land.

By then, we’ll naturally secure the project!”

Upon hearing this, Messiah Anderson’s eyes lit up, comprehending Alan Austin’s idea, “As long as we own the land, even if we don’t secure the Nezzi New Town project, we can use the land to squeeze a pretty penny out of the Nezzi command center!

This is a brilliant idea.

However, acquiring land is no simple task. Aside from the massive capital investment, what if David Herb finds out…”

Alan Austin shook his head and calmly replied, “That’s why the operation must be executed secretly and must not be discovered by David Herb.”

“What about Sherry’s end…?” Messiah Anderson continued, currently the funds in Sherry’s hand are greater than all of theirs combined and in terms of wealth, who could outperform her?

In response, Alan Austin shook his head and smirked, saying, “Heh… Sherry Jones, that little bitch, isn’t worth considering. I’ll put out a rumor leading her to buy another piece of land.

Then her funds will only heap into the bad land that I’ve prepared for her! She would never be able to turn the tide!”

Messiah Anderson seemed satisfied at Alan Austin’s assurance, he continued, “Then who would be suitable to leak this rumor? White Mitchell is no simple man, I’m afraid they won’t believe us if it’s too deliberate.”

“Don’t worry, I already have the right candidate in mind,” Alan Austin confidently replied, then intoned two words: ‘Jones Family’.
