King's Awakening

Chapter 300: Sherry Jones falls into a trap!

No way!

Alan Austin’s conspiracy absolutely cannot prevail!

Thinking of this, Sherry Jones couldn’t contain herself any longer, ignoring the silent mood of the Jones family, she walked straight out of her office, instructing Elijah Bailey and Mori Jones to investigate the Imperial Group’s recent activities.

This enraged the Jones family who immediately caused a commotion within the Jones Group.

However, Sherry’s stance was resolute, indicating that no matter what, she wouldn’t abandon the Nezzi project.

She knew very well that it was White Mitchell’s only lifeline. Only by securing Nezzi could she prevent Noah Weiden and Alan Austin from striking against White.

For White, she was willing to do anything.

Hence, no matter how the Jones family pressured her, she wouldn’t budge.

Frustrated, the Jones family had no choice but to leave the Jones Group on a sour note.

However, as they left, they all wore a sly grin on their faces, just as if their trick was successful.

“Mother, do you think Sherry, that headstrong brat, would believe us?” Once they reached the ground floor, Will Jones asked.

Before Old Madam Jones could answer, Snowden chipped in impatiently, “Dad, rest assured, we’ve done everything that we had to. Based on Sherry’s actions, it seems that she has already sent people to investigate.”

“Alan Austin has already prepared for that. Sherry will definitely fall into the trap he laid out for her.”

Listening to this, Old Madam Jones nodded her head in agreement, her gaze grew colder as she said, “That stubborn child, Sherry, never learns her lesson and now she wants to involve the entire Jones Group in her downfall! She can keep dreaming! This time, we will save the Jones Group no matter what!”

Upon hearing this, Will Jones simply responded with a smirk, “Hehe….Mother, if we succeed in this, it won’t just be about saving the Jones Group.”

“Alan Austin promised us that as long as we help him bring down Sherry, the Jones family would get to have a piece of the Nezzi project. Even though it is not the core project, the smaller ones should be enough for the Jones family to prosper.”

Upon hearing this, a smile of triumph spread across the faces of Old Madam Jones and Snowden Jones, almost as if they could already see the Jones family thriving.

In the meanwhile, the scouts dispatched by Sherry Jones to spy on Alan Austin’s movements returned with some insight.

Elijah Bailey and Mori Jones, with the findings in their hands, entered Sherry’s office.

“The investigation results are not very optimistic. According to our findings, not only the Imperial Group but also the Weiden Family and the Green Family are stashing lands in the South District under the radar,” Elijah Bailey reported anxiously.

Following that, Elijah unrolled a map of Sayon, highlighting the area that the Imperial Group was stockpiling.

The area is massive and could very well accommodate Nezzi.

Moreover, the Imperial Group was very discreet about its land acquisition. If not for their active investigation, it would be very tough to discover their moves.

“Given that Alan Austin is expending a significant sum of money to stockpile lands in the South District at this critical juncture, he definitely has some ulterior motives. Maybe, he knew some inside information beforehand,” Mori Jones analysed, knitting her brows.

Upon hearing this, Sherry’s face turned grave. It appeared that the Jones family wasn’t wrong; Alan Austin was truly making some secret moves.

Once the news was confirmed, Sherry immediately made a call to Beckett and discussed a counter-strategy.

After receiving Sherry’s call, Beckett contacted White Mitchell. White’s answer was simple, just one word: Buy!

“Elijah, Mori, dispatch as many staff as possible and secure as much land as we can, either personally or in the company’s name. We can’t let Alan Austin succeed in his scheme!” Sherry ordered resolutely upon hearing Beckett’s response.

Immediately, Elijah Bailey and Mori Jones sprang into action, joining the competition to secure lands in the South District of Sayon against Alan Austin’s side.

Three days later, Sayon, Southern Suburb.

“Mr. Jones, we currently hold more than 40% of the land in this area. As long as we can acquire the land of the abandoned factory in front of us, we should have no problem,” reported a senior executive from the Jones Group.

Once we acquire more than half of the land, even if Alan Austin wants to manipulate the situation, it won’t be so easy for him.

Standing in front, Sherry Jones felt a slight relief after hearing the report and couldn’t help glancing at White Mitchell who insisted on driving for her.

As long as she could successfully buy the land of this abandoned factory, her chances of taking over Nezzi New Town would increase. Even with the power and influence of Imperial Group and Weiden Family, they wouldn’t dare to harm White Mitchell easily.

This time, she could protect White Mitchell.

With these thoughts in mind, Sherry Jones became determined. Even though she had to spend tens of billions more to compete with Alan Austin for the land, it was worth it compared to White Mitchell’s safety.

However, when Sherry was feeling triumphant, more than a dozen young voices casually appeared behind them: “Are you guys the ones interested in buying my land?”

Hmm?

Hearing this, Sherry Jones turned around silently. Seeing these people, she involuntarily paused, then quickly asked: “Are you Mr. Camden?”

The young man at the lead put his hands in his pockets and nodded carelessly before unabashedly starting to check out Sherry Jones’ figure.

This man’s name was Camden, a distant relative of the prestigious Green Family in Sayon, just like Grandy Anderson. He was, by relation, Grandy’s cousin.

Obviously, his presence here was instigated by Grandy and the Green Family with the intention of taking a large sum of money from Sherry Jones.

But when Camden saw Sherry’s alluring face and enchanting figure, he had different ideas.

“Not bad, not bad. I had heard that Miss Jones was once the beauty queen of Sayon University. Seeing you today, I must say, you are quite captivating,” Camden blatantly flirted, his eyes filled with a greedy light.

Hmm?

Hearing Camden’s words, Sherry Jones immediately frowned, a look of disgust emerging on her pretty face: “Mr. Green, please behave yourself.”

Behave?

Hearing this, Camden laughed dismissively. Over the years, he had been with countless women, so the word ‘behave’ in his eyes seemed more like an invitation rather than a rejection.

It’s a pity, a beauty like Sherry Jones is married to a good-for-nothing like White Mitchell.

If it weren’t for the undecided project of Nezzi New Town, he would’ve already cuckolded White Mitchell.

Thinking of this, Camden sneered and glanced provocatively at White Mitchell who was standing behind Sherry Jones.

But he noticed White Mitchell glaring back at him.

Did a freeloader who hides behind a woman dare to glare at him?

Seeing this, Camden sneered within and a playful smile appeared on his lips.

Even if he couldn’t immediately cuckold White Mitchell, making a coward like him kneel down and apologize, wouldn’t that be easy?

Not only that, if he recorded White Mitchell kneeling to him and sent it to Grandy and Thaw, maybe he could gain some favor.

Two birds with one stone!

With this thought, Camden pretended to be serious and said, “If you want this piece of land of mine, fine. But I have one condition.

I dislike this guy. Have him kneel and apologize to me three times. If I’m satisfied, I’ll sign the contract immediately.

Otherwise, I will sell this land to Imperial Group. You decide!”
