King’s Awakening - Chapter 306
Chapter 306: Chapter 306: Now You Know About Family Love? Too Late!
Sherry Jones?
Upon hearing this name, Bing was taken aback, but quickly gathered himself.
He had heard this name from his older brother, Leonardo Kim, she seemed to be one of the bidders for the new town of Nezzi, and had passed the capital verification session for the Nezzi New Town project.
For anyone who can pass the capital verification, it means they must have a good amount of assets.
It seems that Will Jones was not lying this time.
With this thought, Bing exhibited a mischievous look on his face and said, “Given this, I’ll choose to believe you once more.
I give you one day. If I don’t see the money before the sun sets tomorrow,
this will be the fate of your entire family!”
With a swift motion, Bing pulled out a curved blade from his waist and struck it on the chair next to him.
With a splintering sound, a corner of the chair was instantly sliced off.
Seeing this scene, the Jones family members panicked, their eyes full of fear.
It took a while after Bing left before the Jones family could catch their breath, but they soon had a problem; given how they had treated Sherry, would she be willing to pay the two hundred million to cover Mori Jones’s debt?
A big question mark arose in the Jones Family’s mind.
At this moment, Mori Jones started to kneel before Old Madam Jones, whimpering and begging, “Mom, you have to save me this time.
You heard it yourself, Bing isn’t afraid to kill. Go and plead with Sherry, you are her grandmother and the head of the Jones family; if you get involved, she’ll definitely pay.”
Amanda, who was by the side, also kneeled before Old Madam Jones and pleaded for Mori Jones, “Yes, mom, you have to help Mori this time.
Mori did this for the sake of our family, who would have expected Alan Austin’s information to go so wrong.
You have to save Mori, he’s the only husband I have, and you only have one son left.”
“Grandma…” Snowden Jones urgently pleaded for Mori Jones as well.
Facing this situation, Old Madam Jones was overcome with a mixed bag of emotions and sighed heavily. Now, she had no choice but to agree; otherwise, the Jones family would face a disastrous end.
The next morning, the Jones family rushed to the Jones Group in a flurry, but this time, they were stopped by Elijah Bailey and others at the door.
“Grandma and the others are here? What do they want now!?” Sherry Jones’s eyebrows furrowed when she got the news, a disgusted look crossing her face.
If she hadn’t luckily intervened, she could have lost 800 million on the land purchase.
If it were not for the Jones Family intentionally spreading rumors in front of her, she would never have aimed to hoard land.
She had not expected the Jones family to be bothering her again so soon.
As Sherry didn’t prepare to meet the Jones family, Old Madam Jones, relying on her eldership, pushed past Elijah Bailey and others and barged into Sherry’s office.
As soon as Old Madam Jones entered the room, she began to wail dramatically, while Mori Jones immediately knelt before Sherry.
What was going on?
Upon seeing this, Sherry was slightly taken aback.
“Sherry, good niece, you must save your uncle this time; if you don’t, he will be murdered.”
“Yes, Sherry, we were all confused by Alan Austin’s deceitfulness in the past; you have to believe we didn’t do it on purpose.”
“Sherry, we all have the same family name; we’re family, aren’t we? You can’t just stand by and watch us die…”
Each member of the Jones family chimed in one after the other, pleading with Sherry to save them, but Sherry had no idea what was going on.
After a good long chat, Sherry Jones came to realize the unpleasant truth. Will Jones borrowed money from Bing to purchase some land and ended up losing all his money in the process.
“Sherry, Uncle Will admits his mistake. You must help me. It’s only two hundred million, which is just a drop in the bucket for someone as rich as you now, isn’t it?” Will Jones pleaded, putting on a sympathetic face.
Amanda, standing nearby, was quick to jump in with flattery. “I’ve always said that Sherry is the most accomplished and filial child in our Jones family. With your current wealth, isn’t two hundred million just a small amount?”
“Don’t worry, as long as you lend a hand this time, your Uncle Will is willing to work like an ox to repay you for this kindness,” she added.
Two hundred million?
A drop in the bucket?
Upon hearing this, Sherry found it both laughable and exasperating. The funds she possesses are not hers; they belong to Beckett’s boss, who invested it in the Nezzi New City.
Could it be that the Jones family really thought she could use this money at will?
Seeing Sherry unmoved by their pleas, Old Madam Jones could not help but speak up. “My good granddaughter, I know you still bear grudges about the past. However, we’ve realized our mistakes. We are family, aren’t we?”
“Even if not for my sake, can’t you lend a hand to your Uncle Will for your father’s sake?”
Hearing this, Sherry took a deep breath. Despite still bearing resentment towards the Jones’ family, she couldn’t just sit idly while watching their downfall.
She was aware that her father’s greatest wish before his demise, aside from clearing White’s name, was to rejuvenate the Jones family. Unfortunately, he had not seen this come to pass.
With this in mind, Sherry heaved a deep sigh and indifferently said, “I can’t afford the two hundred million now. It isn’t my money, after all, and I need to consult with the owner. That’s all wait for a bit.”
Upon finishing her statement, Sherry took out her mobile phone and quietly left the office to contact Beckett.
Soon, Beckett received Sherry’s loan request. Yes, Sherry had intended to borrow two hundred million in her name to repay Will Jones’ debt.
However, Beckett wasn’t sure what to do either, so he immediately informed White Mitchell.
Upon receiving the news, White Mitchell coldly laughed.
Family ties? Now the Jones family is talking about family ties?
Where were their family ties when they forced Sherry to hand over her shares, forced her to marry Hans, and framed her?
Without a second thought, White Mitchell bluntly said. “The Jones family’s debt has nothing to do with me or Sherry. Let them fend for themselves!”
Upon receiving White’s response, Beckett immediately declined Sherry’s request.
Looking at the message sent by Beckett, a sense of powerlessness rushed to Sherry’s face, then she helplessly spoke to the Jones family, “I received a reply from Beckett. His boss doesn’t want to lend me the money, so…”
As soon as she said this, the members of the Jones family were struck dumb as if by a bolt from the blue, and their expressions froze instantly.
Impossible, absolutely impossible. How could Sherry not be able to borrow the money?
She could take out eight billion to buy land, but she couldn’t borrow a mere two hundred million?
It’s a lie! Definitely a lie! It must be a lie she made up because she doesn’t want to help us!
What nonsense about seeking Beckett’s boss’s permission, and that Beckett’s boss won’t lend the money, it’s all fake. Sherry just doesn’t want to help them!
It must be so, it must be!!!
