Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Antonio Woods held his cellphone, desperately trying to explain, but the calls coming in reprimanding him came one after another like a sudden downpour without a hint of stopping.
Who the hell have I pissed off?
Work halted at the construction site, the company was trashed, projects were terminated. To make matters worse, calls came in from various suppliers, all demanding early payment and then termination of cooperation.
One must realize that for the Woods Family, payments were traditionally paid semi-annually or annually. But now, all the suppliers surged forward demanding advance payment.
This was practically a death sentence for the Woods Family who could not, all of a sudden, gather so much cash.
Left with no choice, Antonio Woods had to entreat each supplier, begging them to grant him a little more time. freewebnove l.com
However mighty he seemed in usual times, when begging others for help, he became utterly humble.
Antonio Woods felt like he had put his old face on the line. Were it not for the barrier of the phone, he probably would have knelt before those people.
Overnight, no, within just a few minutes, the Woods Family fell from their lofty position to become debtors chased for repayment.
What the hell is going on!!!
Antonio Woods would never have dreamed that he would gain such notoriety in Sayon.
In the vast setting of Sayon, no one would dare to borrow from him, and even if he offered money, I fear no one would take it.
Just what is happening? Could it really be because of that damn boy’s phone call?
While Antonio Woods was in agony, Sherry Jones took advantage of the father and son’s lack of attention, and led White Mitchell out of the hotel.
The bride ran away with another man on her wedding night. This was probably the first time something like this had happened in Sayon’s history.
But the Woods father and son were already at their wit’s end, and had no time to deal with Sherry Jones. To them, Sherry Jones was just another item that the Woods Family had bought.
Once they had left the hotel, White Mitchell took a lollipop out of his pocket
“Would you give me another chance?”
Seeing the lollipop in White Mitchell’s hand, Sherry Jones turned into a tear-streaked mess. Yes, he still remembered his promise to her: as long as he had a lollipop, she would go with him.
He remembered it! He had not forgotten!
Then, Sherry Jones pulled White Mitchell and they ran off together. As she ran, tears fell and her pretty face was lit with a hint of happiness.
For her, making this decision might have been a spur-of-the-moment thought, but it reflected her true feelings.
All thoughts of family alliances and consequences were thrown to the back of her mind. At the moment, she just wanted to be with the man she loved, even if it was only for a moment.
The one being pulled, White Mitchell, was silently watching her, accompanying her and not saying anything. He just watched Sherry Jones, letting her vent her emotions.
At last, they arrived at a ‘secret base’ from their childhood, a place known only to them.
Calling it a secret base was perhaps an exaggeration, as it was just an old Pagoda tree by the river.
However, mere as it was, the old Pagoda tree was loaded with their childhood memories.
It was here that they had once pledged eternal love for each other, vowing to stay together until the end of the world.
“Ahhhhh…
Dressed in her wedding gown, Sherry Jones yelled into the raging river. Her voice seemed to carry a touch of helplessness.
As she screamed, tears once again fell from Sherry Jones’ eyes.
When she turned around, what White Mitchell saw was not the relief after venting stress, but boundless desolation and worry.
Seeing this, his heart ached again, and guilt crept onto his face.
Then, White Mitchell pulled Sherry Jones into his arms and they sat under the old Pagoda tree just like in their childhood, watching the clouds roll in and out, the tides rise and fall…
Sherry Jones leaned into White Mitchell’s embrace, feeling happy, but there was still a trace of sorrow on her face that she could not shake off: “What should we do next? If the Woods Family can’t find us, they may trouble the Jones Family.”
“Our father’s ashes are still in their hands, and moreover, my father’s greatest wish in life was to reclaim our lineage, revitalize the Jones Family. I want to help him fulfill his last wish.”
Hearing this, a bitter taste filled White Mitchell’s heart.
His father-in-law, Logan Jones, had once supported his venture, when he, in defiance of his family’s objections, gave him all the money he had from his home.
However, because of this, Logan Jones fell out with the Jones family. It was only because the Imperial Group prospered at that time that nothing was said by the Jones family.
But after he was framed and imprisoned, the Jones family faced backlash. Their business plummeted. The Old Madam Jones, his mother-in-law, expelled Logan Jones from the family.
This became a lifelong regret for Logan, something he was always troubled about.
Later, for the sake of overturning his conviction, Logan fell into the hands of Alan Austin and died tragically.
This became White Mitchell’s biggest regret. Despite his battlefield heroics and successes, he had caused his benefactor to be expelled from his family and to die horribly in the end.
For this reason, White Mitchell was all the more determined to protect Sherry Jones And help his benefactor fulfill his last wishes.
“Rest assured, leave these matters to me. I will ensure that Dad reclaims his ancestry, help him revitalize the Jones family. I’ll also take care of you and our mother, I won’t let you guys get hurt again,” White Mitchell solemnly promised.
Sherry Jones smiled, but her heart still felt heavy as if something was weighing her down, and her brow did not relax.
Subsequently, she told White Mitchell: “Brother, can you promise not to hit people randomly in the future? This is not a prison… Anyway, promise me, okay?”
White Mitchell chuckled. Knowing that Sherry was worried about him, he nodded and agreed, “Okay, I promise.”
Then, White Mitchell took Sherry Jones back to her hotel. He also rented a room next door and shared the location with Kylin.
Just when he thought everything was finally settled, White Mitchell woke up the next day to find out that Sherry Jones had left without a word except for a note that read, “Don’t come find me.”
White Mitchell immediately frowned and took out his cell phone, only to realize that Sherry Jones’s phone was off.
Where had she gone?
White Mitchell felt an indescribable unease. He immediately asked Azure Dragon for help in tracking her down, but he was still out of luck.
This increased his anxiety. That silly girl had probably made this decision to avoid dragging him into this.
“How can I just let you face it alone?” White Mitchell sighed before instructing both Kylin and Azure Dragon to use all their resources to find her.
In the meantime, Sherry Jones had already returned alone to the Jones Family’s residence in Sayon.
Before Sherry arrived, the atmosphere in the Jones residence was oppressively tense.
Canceling a wedding in public, the bride running away with a rough man?
Where should the Woods Family leave their face?
As expected, early the next day, the Woods Family called demanding their ten million back.
But where would the current Jones Family find that ten million? That was their lifesaver!
A while ago, the Jones Family had an investment that required a lot of money. Despite trying every means, they couldn’t gather enough funds, so they took a risk and borrowed from a private finance firm.
Technically it was a finance company, but in reality, it was a loan shark.
As a result, they got the loan, but their investment failed. Now, the loan sharks were pressing for repayment. The daily interest was terrifying.
The original five million loan rolled over into ten million due to the interest.
They were going to use the ten million to fill this gap. How could they give it away?
At this moment, a nearly seventy-year-old woman sitting in the main seat, banging a dragon-head cane against the floor, fiercely said:
“Make that damned girl come back this instance! Also, bring that bastard with her. I want that White Mitchell to kneel before Mr.. Finn and apologize!”
