King's Awakening

She did not expect that Old Madam Jones would utter such words in front of her.

With a panicked look, Amanda quickly cast a pleading glance toward Will Jones and Snowden Jones behind her. “Will, Snowden…”

However, to her surprise, before she could finish her sentence, Will Jones had angrily stalked over and delivered a resounding slap to her face.

There was the sound of a smack. Suddenly a bright red handprint appeared on Amanda’s face, making her look extremely grotesque.

In an accusatory tone, Will Jones scolded her. “You, good for nothing, who asked you to chirp around? Do people think you’re dumb if you stay silent?”

“I…” Amanda covered her face, looking wronged.

Even her own daughter, Snowden Jones, did not speak in her favor, instead lecturing her exasperatedly, “Mom, it’s indeed your fault this time. It was okay for you to speak like that before.

But now, Sherry Jones is the queen of Sayon’s business arena. Times have changed. Though White Mitchell may not be very capable, at least he married a good wife. As they say, one man’s gain is the whole family’s fortune.

So mother, don’t feel wronged. Try to find a chance to apologise to White Mitchell sincerely. Otherwise, if we offend White Mitchell, I will have difficulties explaining to Jacob.”

Originally, the Bright Family wanted her to return to the Jones Family to please Sherry Jones and see if she could benefit from her.

She had confidently assured them that it would not be a problem, but now here they were.

Offending White Mitchell is one thing, making Sherry Jones unhappy is another.

How did she end up with a mother like this? If she would have just admitted her mistake and pleased White Mitchell, everything would have been fine, but look what she’s done now.

For a moment, Snowden Jones had a fair bit of criticism toward Amanda.

“You… All of you! All of you are bullying me!” Hearing Snowden Jones’ accusation, Amanda suddenly broke into tears.

What on earth was going on? She tried her best for the Jones family only to be blamed and forced to apologize to that wild bastard White Mitchell. Where was she supposed to place her face after this?

Thinking about this, Amanda felt even more wronged. She blamed everything on that wild bastard White Mitchell, who borrowed Sherry Jones’ power and acted all high and mighty.

“White Mitchell, don’t let me catch the chance, or else, I will avenge today’s humiliation a hundredfold!” Amanda gritted her teeth and vowed internally.

Meanwhile, after ushering the Jones family out, White Mitchell sent Sherry Jones home and took the opportunity to visit Kylin and Beckett, under the pretense of going out for a smoke.

“Any news from Alan Austin?” As he said this, White Mitchell couldn’t help but glance at Logan Jones’ urn, filled with guilt.

He knew that his adoptive father had been brutally murdered while trying to overturn his case.

Although the culprit had fallen into the trap he had set and was living in constant fear, it was still far from enough in comparison to his adoptive father’s death.

Three days, he had only three more days!

After three days, he would avenge his adoptive father’s death with Alan Austin’s blood!

As White Mitchell was lost in his thoughts, Kylin started to speak, “After the bidding conference was over, Alan Austin returned to his office and released his anger.

Later, Noah Weiden and Messiah Anderson also went to the Imperial Group. After a discussion, they all left. There hasn’t been any movement from Alan Austin’s side for the time being.”

However, our people found out that after Noah Weiden returned home, he made several encrypted calls. We are still decoding the content of the calls, but based on the current situation, it seems they might be planning something harmful to your sister-in-law.

Should I go and capture Noah right now, Superior?”

Noah Weiden?

Upon hearing this, a ruthless glint flashed through White Mitchell’s eyes, and he coldly replied, “No need, if he wants to play, then let’s entertain him.

Order Azure Dragon to station a platoon of soldiers around the Jones Group, make sure not to startle them, and to wait for my orders.”

“Yes Sir!” Upon hearing his words, Kylin immediately made a call to Azure Dragon, arranging everything.

The next morning, Alan Austin along with Grandy Anderson and Messiah Anderson, made their way to the Weiden Family.

Not long after they arrived at the Weiden Family, they saw five or six unfamiliar middle-aged men in the living room. They all were girded with power and their faces reflected varying degrees of ferocity.

Alan Austin glanced at these men, and instinctively furrowed his brows, unable to help but question, “These are your reinforcements? Are you sure they can handle that guy White Mitchell?

That guy learned some martial arts in prison. A dozen well-trained bodyguards around me combined, were still no match for him.

These few men, don’t tell me…”

Alan Austin hesitated, not finishing his sentence.

As things stood, the Nezzi New City project was bound to get a green light. If Sherry Jones didn’t die, all their three families won’t have a chance to rise again.

So, Alan Austin and family decided to heed Grandy Anderson’s advice to hire assassins for murdering Sherry Jones.

Once Sherry Jones died, the Nezzi New City project would inevitably select a new constructor, ensuring their Imperial Group would regain this project.

The reason to hire assassins was to evade the surveillance of Nezzi Command, lest they cast suspicions on them.

However, the handful of people Noah Weiden had brought worried Alan Austin.

Alan Austin had personally witnessed White Mitchell’s capabilities. Ordinary people couldn’t get close to him, let alone the mediocre looking team here, they lacked numerical superiority as well.

In the face of Alan Austin’s doubts, Noah Weiden coldly laughed and dismissively responded, “My men will distract White Mitchell. At that time, Sherry Jones won’t have any backup.

The people I brought are more than enough to handle a frail woman!”

Having listened to Noah Weiden, all of Alan Austin’s concerns evaporated. The worry on his face was replaced by a sinister smile.

He proudly declared, “With Sherry Jones dead, no one will be able to stop us from taking over the Nezzi New City project. Then all of Sayon will be ours!

White Mitchell, Sherry Jones, they are nothing but stepping stones on our path to success!

There will come a day when I will make that pesky White Mitchell beg for his life and wish for his death!”

The moment he finished his sentence, the faces of Noah Weiden and others lit up with triumphant smiles. They silently raised their glasses on the table and toasted their upcoming success.

What they didn’t know was that from the moment those hired assassins arrived in Sayon, they had already been targeted by Azure Dragon’s men.

Soon, they appeared before White Mitchell.

Kylin, seeing the message from Azure Dragon, his eyes chilled as he promptly asked for instructions, “Superior, shall I take them out now?”
