Will Jones left the press conference venue in a huff with Snowden Jones and others.

On the way back to the Jones residence, they saw within half an hour that Sayon TV had already made an apology to the Jones Group based on the previously published posts.

Moreover, posts absolving the Jones Group of any wrongdoing began to trickle onto the internet one after another.

By the time they returned to their home, public opinion on the internet had entirely swung in favor of the Jones Group. Many people even began to sympathize with the ordeal the Jones Group had undergone, feeling that someone was setting them up behind the scenes.

For a while, the internet was filled with voices in support of the Jones Group. The Jones Group received an unprecedented amount of exposure and became massively popular overnight.

Upon seeing these posts, Will Jones was so mad he almost smashed his phone.

In all the years he had served as the general manager, he had never received such treatment. Yet Sherry Jones had only been in power for a short while and had already skyrocketed to fame.

How could he swallow this bitterness?

The more Will Jones thought about it, the angrier he became. In the end, his face was so dark it looked like a pig’s liver.

Fortunately, he already had a plan for the next step. Otherwise, he might be so angry that he would suffer a heart attack at any moment.

“Keep up your act! I want to see how long you can keep it up!” said Will Jones, clenching his fist, grinding his teeth.

In no time at all, he brought Snowden Jones to the Jones mansion and invited Old Madam Jones out.

Old Madam Jones’ face turned unpleasant as she listened to the report from Will Jones.

“Will, Mr. Weiden has given us a limited time, and we don’t have many days left. Can you really deal with that damned girl? You can’t resort to violence. That bastard White Mitchell isn’t a pushover,” Old Madam Jones said anxiously.

Will Jones nodded heavily at her words, “Mom, don’t worry. I know what I’m doing. Once Antonio Woods and Blake Thomas arrive, we…”

Bang, bang, bang…

Before Will Jones could finish his sentence, there was a knock at the door. Hearing it, Will Jones’ spirit immediately picked up.

In no time at all, Will Jones welcomed Antonio Woods and Blake Thomas into their home.

Antonio Woods and Blake Thomas’ appearances were notably disheveled and a little bit embarrassed at this moment.

But Will Jones acted like he hadn’t noticed and started giving orders, not caring whether they agreed or not.

Antonio Woods and Blake Thomas were a bit upset about Will Jones’ domineering attitude. But out of respect for Hans, they dared not say anything and obediently followed his instructions.

Soon, Will Jones revealed his entire plan to everyone.

After hearing it, Antonio Woods and Blake Thomas couldn’t help but grimace. This Will Jones was really ruthless. If they didn’t know any better, they would think Sherry Jones bore him a deep grudge.

But, of course, they didn’t dare say such things in front of him.

Next, Will Jones looked at Old Madam Jones with concern and repeatedly instructed, “Mom, the key to the plan lies with you. You mustn’t show any mercy at the time!”

Old Madam Jones nodded heavily and said firmly, “I know what’s important and what’s not. Besides, Sherry brought it on herself! Don’t worry, son, I support you.”

Upon hearing this, a ruthless flash passed through Will Jones’ eyes. He said coldly, “Sherry Jones! White Mitchell! You brought this on yourself!!!”

On the other hand, after wrapping up the press conference, Sherry Jones also invited Carlos and the others for a meal.

During the meal, everyone toasted and complimented the Jones Group, making Sherry, the general manager, feel flattered, as if she was in a dream.

Whether it was Carlos, the head of Sayon TV station, or Calton, the station manager of the testing station, they had always been unattainable figures in her day to day life.

Unexpectedly, they also had such approachable facets.

As soon as they left the restaurant, Sherry Jones couldn’t help but flaunt slightly to White Mitchell, “Brother, I’ve been really happy today. Never expected such big shots to be so easy going.

I had thought that I should be careful in their presence, I must admit I was scared to talk at first.

Also, I asked them, turns out they had their eyes on Dean and Cole all along. They happened to catch the criminals in the act this time, we actually helped them out. They even said we could seek their help anytime in future.

What do you think, brother, am I awesome?”

White Mitchell smiled lightly after hearing her words, and teased, “Of course, you have to see who your fiance is.”

Whoosh!

The conversation no sooner happened, Sherry’s face instantly blushed to her ears, hastily berating White and then scampered away.

Seeing this, a big smile bloomed on White Mitchell’s face.

Before long, a flushed Sherry returned to Jones Group.

At this moment, Jones Group was in a state of jubilation. Seeing Sherry’s condition, everyone couldn’t help but tease her.

Upon hearing this, the blush on Sherry’s face deepened further.

Then, with a jubilant smile, Sherry directly said to everyone, “Order whatever you want for afternoon tea!”

Wow!!!

With her words, cheers erupted again at the scene, like they had won a great victory.

But this joy didn’t last long on Sherry.

When she cheerfully returned to the office to start working, it wasn’t long before a worried Mori Jones walked into the office.

“What? Grandma wants me to go back now?”

Upon hearing the news, an ominous look instantly appeared on Mori’s face.

She just shattered Will Jones’s plot, and now Old Madam Jones asking her to return?

Could it be that Old Madam Jones wants to defend Will Jones and lecture her?

Thinking of this, Sherry couldn’t help but give a bitter smile, though reluctant, she felt she should not decline as Old Madam Jones was the chairman of Jones Group and also her grandmother.

So, Sherry returned to the Jones’ family home with Mori Jones.

But once back home, Sherry found an unfamiliar old man in the family hall.

Moreover, the anticipated rebuke didn’t happen, the entire Jones’ family was unexpectedly peaceful.

What surprised Sherry even more was, not only did Old Madam Jones not reprimand her, she wanted to introduce her to a client.

The client she referred to was this unfamiliar old man. Moreover, this was no ordinary client, but someone who holds a huge contract worth 200 million.

For a moment, Sherry was stunned, finding it puzzling and began to hesitate.

At this time, seeing Sherry’s indecisive expression, Old Madam Jones directly chastised, “What are you hesitating for!? It’s a 200 million contract, with a profit of at least 50-60 million!

This is the opportunity for the rise of our Jones Family! Would Sir Jaak give such a huge contract to the Jones Group if it wasn’t for me!?

Have you gotten so used to being the general manager in just a few days that you don’t even regard me, the chairman, anymore? Don’t forget, I’m still the one in charge in this household!”
