[Kylin: Reporting to Superior, the task has been completed. Sayon Television Station has cooperated with David Herb and broadcasted the theft news exclusively on the Jones family’s TV line.]

White Mitchell glanced at the message Kylin sent and slowly put down his cell phone.

At this moment, Sherry Jones, who was beside him, frowned and said, “Brother, grandma asked both of us to return to the Jones family. I don’t know if something else happened.”

Sherry Jones initially thought it was about the invitation, but no matter how she asked, Old Madam Jones didn’t say a word, only demanding that she bring White Mitchell and return to the Jones family together.

Her tone seemed a bit urgent, as if something important had happened.

After hearing this, White Mitchell’s face instantly had a playful expression. This old fox, Old Madam Jones, likely trying to push blame onto Sherry.

However, this was within expectations, otherwise, White Mitchell wouldn’t have instructed Kylin to broadcast the theft news solely in the Jones family’s TV line.

The Jones family’s reaction did not let White Mitchell down as usual.

If one day they repent and mend their ways, perhaps White Mitchell might even feel a tad unusual.

“Brother, let’s go home quickly. Otherwise, Grandma will have an excuse to make things difficult for you again,” Sherry’s words interrupted White Mitchell’s thoughts.

White Mitchell came back to his senses and looked at Sherry with a calm face. He then grinned, “No rush, let’s have them wait a bit. Let’s first go have some afternoon tea. Let me buy you a few outfits. After all, our dear Sherry is now a general manager, you can’t meet clients dressed shabbily. At least you should dress up pretty like you were last night.”

What!?

Sherry was a bit stunned, not reacting in time, White Mitchell even has the mood to go have afternoon tea and go shopping now?

What if the Jones family blames us for this?

Sherry looked uncomfortable, she wanted to continue persuading White Mitchell, but he didn’t give her any chance, he directly pulled her into a dessert tea shop and ordered a serving of afternoon tea.

Sherry couldn’t help but chuckle when faced with the superbly calm White Mitchell, then she threw her cares away and went along with him.

It was too late to do anything now, blame it on them!

Thus, the two of them spent the entire afternoon strolling and eating, as if they were a train. It was not until evening that they began to head towards the Jones family residence.

This really made the Jones family anxious.

They had called Sherry at two in the afternoon, yet three to four hours had passed, and they hadn’t heard a word from them.

Even if they were in River North getting on a plane, they should’ve reached by now, let alone they were only in Sayon?

So it so happens, the people in the Jones family realized that Sherry was deliberately hanging them out to dry.

If it wasn’t for their circumstantial questioning that revealed Sherry was not yet informed about the diamond wedding dress, they would’ve suspected that Sherry went to blow the whistle on them.

Around six in the evening, White Mitchell and Sherry Jones finally showed up at the Jones family home.

Seeing their arrival, the Jones family heaved a sigh of relief.

Although they were kept waiting for hours, which greatly annoyed them, they could now finally push the blame onto Sherry, which was what matters most.

Thinking of this, Old Madam Jones shot a glance at Will Jones, signaling him not to act recklessly.

After receiving Old Madam Jones’s hint, Will Jones and his wife, together with Snowden Jones, all had an affable expression on their faces and didn’t mention a single word about the bet.

Then, Old Madam Jones straightforwardly said, “Sherry, Grandma was too harsh yesterday. I want to apologize to you here. I have no objections to your marriage with White.”

“Not only do I not oppose it, but I also support your marriage. Have you set your wedding date yet? If you have, don’t forget to send a wedding invitation to grandma. I’ll bring everyone along to liven up your big day.”

Huh?

Hearing this, Sherry Jones was taken aback. She felt like she was mishearing. Would Old Madam Jones really say something like this? If she hadn’t heard it with her own ears, she would not have believed it.

As Sherry remained puzzled, Old Madam Jones continued, “I heard from Snowden that you went to pick out wedding dresses with White Mitchell today, right? You haven’t chosen one yet, have you?

That’s just perfect. As an apology from grandma, I will personally get you a wedding dress as your wedding gift.”

Snowden, bring out the dress.”

This…

Sherry was even more puzzled, unable to figure out what Old Madam Jones was playing at.

What shocked her even more was that Snowden Jones brought out the exact wedding dress she had chosen earlier at the bridal store and directly handed it to her.

What’s going on?

Wasn’t it just at the bridal shop today that Snowden was proudly waving around that very dress?

From the way she acted then, she seemed so attached to that dress as if she wanted to wear it to bed.

More importantly, according to Snowden, this expensive dress was studded with real diamonds. How could she be willing to give it to her?

Confused, Sherry involuntarily withdrew her hand. She felt suspicious and didn’t dare to accept the dress.

“Granny, if you have something to say, say it directly. There’s no need for all these roundabouts,” Sherry straightforwardly voiced out.

Before Old Madam Jones could respond, Amanda impatiently said, “Just take it if you’re told to! Why talk so much nonsense?

Considering your status, you’re lucky to wear such a fine wedding dress. It’s your fortune from your previous life.

If it weren’t for the fact that mom fears you might wear something too shabby and disgrace our Jones family, do you think we would give you this precious dress!?”

I…

Sherry was struck speechless. Although Amanda’s reasoning seemed plausible, could the Jones family really be so kind-hearted?

They were already doing her a huge favor by not making life difficult for her or White Mitchell.

And she counted on them to consider her feelings?

The more Sherry thought about it, the more suspicious she became. She sensed a trap and dared not accept the dress.

Seeing Sherry’s reaction, all of the Jones family members were anxious and wished they could force the dress onto her. However, they were afraid that their excessive eagerness would raise her suspicions.

But just then, in front of everyone, White Mitchell calmly took the dress and said with a playful expression, “This is such a nice wedding dress. Thanks a lot. I’ll reserve you good seats at the wedding, make sure to come early.”

Leaving those words behind, White Mitchell left the Jones residence with a bewildered-looking Sherry.

“This wild bastard, really seeing money makes her eyes light up! She’s insatiable! Just look at her earlier, she probably even forgot her own name! Pah!” After White Mitchell left, Amanda commented in a sarcastic tone.

Hearing her words, Will Jones immediately wore a cunning smile, “Being insatiable is good. If she isn’t insatiable, then how can we pass the buck?”

Old Madam Jones silently nodded in agreement. Then, her gaze turned icy as she ordered coldly, “Snowden, get Jacob on the phone. Tell him White Mitchell has taken the dress. He can take action now!

I refuse to believe that White Mitchell can escape after the Royal Group makes their move this time!

This time, we’ll make sure White Mitchell will rot in jail!”
