Sayon, Xinm Club.

At the time when Sherry Jones agreed to the Jones Family’s request secretly from White Mitchell, Beckett and Kylin, who had dealt with the two buffoons from the Woods family and the Thomas family, brought David Herb and his team of three together.

They were called over, of course, to prepare for White Mitchell’s wedding. After all, three cobblers together surpass a wise man.

Besides, to hold a lively and dignified wedding, it would be impossible without these three.

“Brother Kylin, Brother Beckett, is there anything Mr. Mitchell has instructed us to do since you hurriedly called us here?” Longman, on arrival, started pleasing them with a flattering expression.

Seeing Longman acting like a sycophant, Amanda and David Herb couldn’t help but roll their eyes in disdain.

“If Mr. Mitchell requires anything from us, just say the word. We won’t hesitate to go through fire and water for him!” Amanda and David Herb said in unison.

They might despise him, but their actions were sincere. The same subservient expression appeared on their faces as well, matching exactly with Longman’s.

Seeing this, Kylin chuckled with amusement and gave a suggestive look to Beckett.

Beckett quickly caught on, and seriously stood in front of the three: “Indeed, I called you here because there’s something very important that we need you to do.”

“Brother Beckett, if someone dares to provoke Mr. Mitchell again, I’ll break his legs at once!” Longman said, puffing himself up.

Beckett shook his head quietly: “No, it’s not that. It’s something big I am about to talk about!”

Big news?

Seeing Beckett’s serious look, Longman and the rest started to pay attention to him, lending him their ears, as if they were afraid they might miss out on important news.

Next, Beckett shared about planning the wedding of White Mitchell and Sherry Jones with them.

“My point is simple, Mr. Mitchell is not any ordinary person. His wedding has to be grand. The whole of Sayon must know about it!” Beckett commanded emphatically.

Then, Beckett looked towards David Herb: “The wedding planning will be led by Mr. Herb. Mr. Duke and Mr. Longman, you both will assist him.” wow!

As soon as David Herb heard the news, his face lit up with an ecstatic expression. He looked as if he had obtained a treasured possession, grinning from ear to ear.

This was White Mitchell’s wedding! Moreover, he was in charge. This was a golden opportunity to showcase his capabilities!

As long as he did well, he could definitely outshine Longman and Amanda, thereby becoming Mr. Mitchell’s favorite!

Upon hearing this news, Longman and Amanda looked quite despondent, as if they’d lost a billion-dollar deal, seeming listless.

“Don’t worry, if you do well in this matter, my brother won’t treat any of you badly. If you ever have trouble in the future, you can go straight to Nezzi Command Office.” Kylin said obscurely at this point.

Longman and Amanda perked up instantly on hearing this.

The Nezzi Command office, that was the Nezzi Command office! Many in the eastern part of Dragon Realm sought a connection to it but couldn’t find one. Now, the opportunity was right before their eyes.

They must seize it!

They thought for sure, and their spirits rose.

“Alright, let’s discuss how to prepare for the wedding. We don’t have much time, just two weeks.” Beckett spoke again.

An enthusiastic Longman immediately suggested, “I suggest that we contract all the outdoor advertisements in Sayon and publicize the blessings to Mr. Mitchell and Miss Jones. This way, everyone in Sayon will know about it!”

“This is a good suggestion. Any more ideas?” said Beckett and Kylin, nodding their heads.

Amanda Duke proposed skittishly, “Given that it’s a wedding, how could it possibly lack our favorite roses? I suggest we book all the roses in the city. Turn Sayon into a sea of roses. That would surely make every woman die of envy.”

“Mr. Duke’s suggestion is also great. What about you, Mr. Herb?” The idea from Amanda got everyone’s eyes to light up, including Beckett and Kylin, these two grown men, who couldn’t help but be excited as well.

“I reckon…

David Herb pondered for a brief moment and then began, “I suggest forming a team of ten thousand people, dressed up in beautiful suits and dresses, to be bridesmaids and groomsmen for Mr. Mitchell and Miss Jones!”

“That’s a noteworthy idea too, approved!” Beckett and Kylin cheerfully responded.

Upon hearing their response, Amanda Duke continued with her suggestions, “Since we’re going for ten thousand people, how about dividing them equally, five thousand and two hundred men and women respectively? This signifies ‘I Love You’.”

“Exactly! That’s a fantastic idea! Let’s proceed with it!” Beckett and Kylin excitedly agreed.

“Whichever amount you’re thinking of, just say it. We, White,… we will cover it all!” Kylin replied confidently.

Money was not an issue for the White War Department. Apart from the annual salary, the income from various businesses they acquired overseas alone was already innumerable.

A few hundred million or even billions couldn’t be considered a significant sum of money for the White War Department.

Why would they make White Mitchell spend a dime when the intention was to court him?

Thus, they, including Longman, replied in unison, “Mr. Mitchell, you don’t have to worry about the money. The three of us will cover all of the costs, consider it as a wedding gift.”

At the same time when Beckett and others were passionately discussing the wedding, Sherry Jones found an excuse to ditch White Mitchell and returned to the Jones mansion alone.

Upon arriving, she discovered her cousin Mori Jones was not at home and was told that she wouldn’t partake in tonight’s banquet due to reasons.

This made Sherry slightly uneasy. But she disregarded her concerns temporarily when she realized that the guest tonight might be able to assist White Mitchell.

Hours passed. It was approaching evening.

At that moment, they heard the doorbell. Everyone in the Jones Family abruptly became alert and formal.

Sherry saw a glimmer of hope amongst all of this. After all, those who could make the Jones Family uphold such respect were surely not ordinary people. Perhaps they could genuinely help White Mitchell.

However, what Sherry failed to anticipate was that the guest this time at the Jones Family was actually Hans Weiden!

“Why is it you!?” Sherry furrowed her eyebrows immediately after laying her eyes on Hans.

Hans Weiden was not exactly an admirable person. Back in school, he manipulated and played with too many girls, even causing some to get abortions because of him.

He then set his sights on her one day. Despite her rejection, he continued to stick around and tried to get closer to her by all means possible.

If his family hadn’t forced him to study abroad, she’s not sure how she would have gotten rid of him.

And to think that the “guest” her family was talking about would be him. Sherry soon realized there was something unusual.

This meeting could very possibly be loaded with danger.

At this moment, hearing Sherry’s words, Old Madam Jones’ countenance darkened abruptly, and she reprimanded, “Ungrateful twerp! How dare you address Mr. Weiden in that tone!? Mr. Weiden is our distinguished guest!

As the General Manager of Jones Group, shouldn’t you be out there to greet him right now? Do you have no sense at all!? Do you even want to help the bastard White Mitchell or not!?

Hurry! Move quickly!”
