Translator: 549690339

As Sherry Jones absentmindedly let her mind drift into some blush-worthy scene, White Mitchell suddenly stopped.

Caught off guard, Sherry Jones rammed her head straight into White Mitchell’s upright figure.

“Wha…What happened! Hav…have we reached the hotel?” blurted out Sherry Jones. No sooner had she spoken, she realized that even her ears were bright red, her face resembling a ripe apple.

Hotel?

A bewildered White Mitchell was unsure about what Sherry Jones was referring to. He had never mentioned going to a hotel.

Misunderstanding her comment, he earnestly responded, “We’ve arrived indeed, but it’s not a hotel, it’s our home!”

Having said that, White Mitchell pointed at a nearby community signed “Splendid Sayon”.

Our Home?

Sherry Jones came back to her senses and looked towards the direction pointed by White Mitchell, her eyes spontaneously welled up with tears.

Ever since Logan Jones died, she felt like a little bird with no feet, always on the run, having no place to rest, always wandering.

At this moment, when White Mitchell mentioned ‘our home’, Sherry Jones couldn’t hold back her emotions anymore. Tears as big as beans rolled down slowly, her voice choked with emotion, “Bro, do we still have a home?”

Bro, do we still have a home?

Sherry Jones’ words felt like a knife piercing White Mitchell’s heart, spreading a torrent of guilt.

If it weren’t for him, her stepfather, Logan Jones wouldn’t have passed away, and Sherry Jones wouldn’t have had to withstand such agony.

Thinking this, White pulled Sherry into his arms, “We have a home, we do. As long as you and mother are there, it’s our home.”

At his words, Sherry couldn’t control her emotions anymore and began weeping uncontrollably in White Mitchell’s arms.

“Don’t leave me, bro, promise me you’ll never leave me again, alright? Don’t do any foolish things, just stay by my side, promise me, will you?” Sherry Jones sobbed, her voice filled with pleas.

On hearing this, White Mitchell trembled and held Sherry even tighter.

It won’t happen again, never again. He, White Mitchell, would do everything in his power to make Sherry Jones the happiest woman in the world.

Anyone who dared to hurt her, White Mitchell would make them vanish into thin air at any cost!

From now on, even if the whole world turned against Sherry Jones, he, White Mitchell, wouldn’t hesitate to stay by her side, providing her a peaceful sky.

Under the dim streetlight, they embraced each other, looking like a living painting…

After a while, White Mitchell held Sherry Jones’ hand and stepped into Splendid Sayon. They headed towards the house that Beckett and Kylin had selected for him.

The house was fully furnished and ready to move in.

White originally planned to move in after their mother, Wen Zhihui, returned from River North. But considering the inconvenience Sherry Jones had commuting from her previous hotel, he decided to move in early.

As for the origin of the house, White Mitchell had already informed Mori Jones that the house was entrusted to her by a friend who had gone abroad. The house being too big, Mori Jones invited Sherry Jones and others to live together.

Having talked to Mori Jones on the phone, Sherry Jones had no suspicion.

“Bro, this friend of aunt’s is really considerate, capable, and righteous. I’m glad aunt has such a friend.

Although they’re helping aunt, we are also benefiting from her. When they return from abroad, we must express our gratitude,” Sherry Jones earnestly reminded White Mitchell.

However, she was completely unaware that the capable and righteous friend of her aunt, was indeed close at hand.

White Mitchell just smiled at this, not saying a word.

Soon after, they both tidied up a bit and then went to rest. Too much had happened that day, and Sherry Jones was already mentally and physically exhausted. Not long after she lay down, she fell asleep.

At this point, she had no idea that when she woke up, the Jones Group would be facing a significant challenge.

Early the next morning, the revived Sherry Jones quickly ate the lovingly prepared breakfast from White Mitchell. Then, just as if she had been injected with chicken blood, she hurried to work full of energy.

But just as Sherry Jones was eagerly preparing to start her day’s work, a group of people in mourning clothes gathered at the foot of Jones Group’s building, their identities unknown. Besides, a group of people who looked like journalists were taking pictures relentlessly.

“Please calm down, let’s talk things out. Don’t be impulsive. If the issue truly arose from using our products, the Jones Group will certainly take responsibility ”

From afar, Sherry Jones could hear Elijah’s voice, an instant furrow appeared on her brow.

“Your mother’s fucking nonsense! All you are doing is delaying and shirking responsibility, let me tell you, it was after my mother used the cosmetics of your Jones Group that she was poisoned to death!

Today, the Jones Group must give us an answer, don’t think about brushing it off.

I’m telling you, today, whether it’s your damn Jones Group or your heartless boss Sherry Jones, no one will escape!”

A fierce voice was heard, following that, Sherry Jones saw Elijah being pushed to the ground.

But the other party was still unforgiving, raising his foot to kick Elijah.

With two thumps, Elijah was kicked over, his appearance extremely shameful.

The sight made Sherry Jones anxious to save him, and she hurried over: “Stop it! All of you, stop! I am the General Manager of the Jones Group. If you have any issues, bring them to me!”

Upon seeing Sherry Jones appear, those sturdy men who were beating up Elijah exchanged glances, nodding in agreement.

Then, one of the men pointed at Sherry Jones and cursed loudly, “Look, everyone! This is the heartless boss of Jones Group, Sherry Jones!

The moment she took over as General Manager, the problem with Jones Group’s cosmetics started. Before that, my mom had always used their products without any problems. It was only when she took over that the cosmetics became problematic.

This heartless boss must have used substandard materials. My poor mom, your death was too tragic!!!”

Huh?

Sherry Jones frowned even more deeply upon seeing this, it was apparent that the opponents were targeting her.

But before she had a chance to explain herself, the big, burly men dressed in mourning clothes swarmed the elevator: “Fuck! This evil Jones Group! It’s harmful even if it’s left standing!

I must smash it today to see if they continue to harm us common folks!”

Seeing this, Sherry Jones became even more anxious and rushed over. However, her petite frame was no match for the group of sturdy men, and she was shoved aside.

In no time at all, the group of men charged into the Jones Group office.

The employees who had just started working were terrified by the burly men’s daunting presence and cast their eyes to Sherry Jones.

But right now, Sherry Jones could not stop these people at all.

When she was at a loss, she saw that across the company, Will Jones and others were already in position, putting on a show of watching a good play. They taunted sarcastically, “Wow, Mr. Jones, your place is bustling today.

It looks like a grand coronation. Are you running a company here or a drama troupe?”
