Chapter 384: Chapter 384: The Arrogant Noble Lady, Lisa Jones!

Capital City’s main family?

Upon hearing that someone from the Jones Family in Capital City had appeared in Sayon, both Mori and Wen Zhihui were momentarily taken aback, struggling to react.

They both knew that the Jones Family in Sayon had minimal contact with the Jones Family in Capital City on a day-to-day basis. It was only during their yearly family reunion that members of the Capital City Jones Family would show themselves.

Moreover, they were often seated at the bottom of the table — practically invisible. In other words, the Sayon Jones Family held no standing in the eyes of the Capital City Jones Family.

By common sense, people from the Capital City Jones Family would not stoop so low as to visit a small place like Sayon, much less take the initiative to contact such a minor branch of the Jones Family. This was a clear departure from the norm.

Just as Mori Jones and Wen Zhihui were puzzled, White Mitchell was quietly observing a somewhat uneasy Sherry Jones.

“Did you make a deal with the Jones Family?” White suddenly asked.

At his words, Sherry lowered her head and hesitantly replied, “No…no.”

Listening to Sherry’s response, White had his answer. No wonder she had told him the day before that he would surely be fine. It turned out she had secretly made a deal with members of the Jones Family.

Still, White didn’t scold Sherry at this moment. He understood that she had done this for his sake.

After figuring out the crux of the matter, White did not continue questioning her. Instead, he gently took her hand and said, “We are husband and wife, we share in each other’s glory and disgrace.

Whatever concerns you, concerns me too. I will go with you to the Jones Family.”

At his words, Sherry immediately got worried. But before she could refuse, White had already pulled her towards the door, not giving her a chance to say no.

At this sight, Sherry felt a rush of warmth but also a sense of helplessness.

She knew that if White learned she had used half of the shares from Nezzi New City to strike a deal with the Jones Family, he would surely be disappointed in her.

However, she did not regret her decision. As long as she could help White, she would do whatever it took without hesitation.

Just as Sherry was musing over how to confess this to White, he had already led her by the hand into the car and they were now heading straight to the Jones household.

About an hour later, White and Sherry arrived at the gate of the Jones Family Villa.

On their way there, Sherry tried multiple times to confess, but each time she found herself unable to articulate her words.

Now standing in front of the Jones Family home, she felt even more nervous.

At this time, White firmly held on to her hand and reassured her softly, “Don’t worry. If the sky falls, I’ll hold it up. I won’t let anyone hurt you.”

Having said that, White led Sherry Jones directly into the Jones Family home.

Before long, White’s figure appeared in the Jones family’s spacious hall.

Across from him was a young woman around Sherry’s age. Dressed in a wine-red dress and sporting diamond-studded sunglasses, her long, slender legs crossed. She exuded an icy beauty.

However, White’s gaze only swept over her briefly, showing no lingering interest.

“So you’re Sherry Jones from the Sayon branch?” the young woman raised her head slightly, glanced at Sherry, and spoke in a detached manner.

At her words, Sherry paused for a moment before silently nodding. ƒreewebɳovel.com

The young woman completely ignored White, not even mentioning his name.

This didn’t bother White. After all, in their eyes, he was merely a man newly released from prison, living a good life only because of his wife.

On the other side, the young woman saw Sherry’s nod of acknowledgment, and slightly nodded in return. She said: “You’re quite attractive, and your abilities are decent. Your reputation precedes you. Even in Capital City, I’ve heard about you.

Among all the branches of the Jones Family, you are indeed a figure of note. Even your father pales in comparison to you.”

Is she praising me?

Upon hearing these words, Sherry felt flattered and immediately responded, “Tha…thank you for the compl…”

Before she could finish, the young woman waved her hand dismissively, interrupting her. “No need to thank me yet, I haven’t finished. Let me introduce myself, I am Lisa Jones. I believe you are aware of my status.

Yes, your abilities are quite respectable, but in our eyes in Capital City, that’s all you are. However, I’ve heard quite a bit about your character before coming here.”

Apparently, to protect your husband, you even tried to seize your own grandmother’s shares, intending to ruin them at every turn. Am I right?”

This…?

Sherry was taken aback, she felt as if she had been struck by lightning. Her face froze and she stuttered out, “It’s not like that, I…”

“No need to explain to me whether it’s true or not. I have eyes and see for myself. And, I’ve already seen enough.” Lisa said calmly. Her words were not vehement, but they were filled with arrogance.

Hearing this, White couldn’t help but speak up: “Seeing? I would like to ask, what can you see through those million-dollar sunglasses of yours?”

“How dare you!”

As soon as White’s words fell, all the Jones family members present, starting with Old Madam Jones, immediately scolded him.

But at this moment, Lisa gently raised her hand, signaling them to be quiet. She continued, “So you are that white-collar worker of Sayon, White Mitchell? Heh, just like the rumors say, you’ve got quite a mouth on you.

Hard to believe that the Sayon Jones branch has fallen to this extent. You couldn’t even find a decent man.

If this had happened in the past, someone like you would prostrate three times and kowtow nine times upon meeting a member of the main family.

You guys didn’t even offer a simple kneel. Doesn’t this prove everything?”

Prostrate three times and kowtow nine times?

Did she think we were still back in the old times?

The era has long since changed!

Hearing Lisa’s words, White shook his head with a cold laugh. “I’m sorry, but I have stiff knees. I do not kneel before anyone or anything, except for the dead. Do you want to give it a try?”

Boom!!!

As soon as he finished, the white-bearded old man, who had been standing behind Lisa, suddenly opened his tightly closed eyes, his internal energy churning drastically.

In an instant, a terrifying aura engulfed the entire Jones home, causing the temperature around them to fall several degrees.

Seeing this, the Jones family members shivered involuntarily as they felt as if they had been plunged into an ice cellar with an icy chill creeping up their backs.

“Ah!” Sherry turned pale under the sudden oppressive aura, her body weakened, and she was on the verge of collapsing.

Just as she was about to fall, White quickly steadied her. His face darkened drastically, his sharp gaze glaring at the white-bearded old man, he said flatly, “Are you courting death!?”
