Chapter 38 - 38: Finn Woods Visits!



Sayon, Jones Family Villa!

Sherry Jones was still kneeling on the ground, unbending and resolute. The atmosphere at the scene became tense instantly.

“Snowden, go to the door, see if Mr. Finn Woods has arrived. Greet him properly and don’t forget our manners,” instructed the Old Madam Jones.

Snowden Jones nodded her head, then walked out the door with a smug smile on her face.

At this moment, noticing Snowden’s absence, Mori Jones voiced: “Mother, letting Sherry continue kneeling down isn’t the solution, perhaps we should let her get up first.”

However, Mori seemed to have overlooked the presence of Snowden’s and Sherry’s mother, Amanda. Her disdain for Sherry was no less than that of Snowden.

Hearing Mori’s words, Amanda immediately said to the Old Madam Jones: “Mother, Sherry can’t get up now. Mr. Finn Woods has to see our earliest indications of the Jones Family’s attitude. Otherwise, he might think we deliberately encouraged this girl to elope. The trouble would be much greater if he thought so.”

Hearing Amanda’s reasoning, Old Madam Jones found it reasonable. She glanced at Sherry coldly: “Kneel! Keep kneeling until Mr. Finn Woods is satisfied!”

Seeing this, Mori couldn’t help but feel upset for Sherry. However, she was incapable of doing anything.

“Mr. Finn Woods has arrived!”

Just then, Snowden’s voice echoed from the outside.

Hearing this, everyone in the Jones family stood up joyously, as if they were preparing to receive a highly esteemed guest.

Even Old Madam Jones struggled to walk towards the door, leaning on her dragon head walking stick.

The Jones family’s respect for Mr. Finn Woods was evidently clear.

However, Finn Woods didn’t return the same level of enthusiasm the Jones family showed him. Rather, his face displayed an unchanging wave of anger.

When he saw Sherry kneeling on the ground, his anger was instantly ignited to its maximum limit.

It was this shameless woman who had made him a laughing stock in Sayon!

Now, nine out of ten friends knew that on his wedding day, his fiancée ran away with another man, giving him a big, fat, green fool’s cap to wear.

Thinking of this, Finn Woods stormed towards Sherry, his face distorted with rage and full of anger.

“You shameless woman, I gave you ten million, and you fucking dare to cheat on me?”

Whoosh!

Finn Woods, who weighed more than two hundred pounds, raised his broad palm and slapped it towards Sherry who was kneeling on the ground.

Since Sherry was facing away from him, she had no time to dodge when she realized what was happening.

Sherry’s body flinched, and she cried out subconsciously. However, the anticipated pain didn’t come.

Sherry slowly opened her eyes only to find Mori standing in front of her and taking the slap meant for her.

“Mori!” Sherry quickly stood up and looked at Mori guiltily.

A bright red hand print had appeared on Mori’s delicate face.

However, Finn Woods didn’t show any signs of mercy or guilt. Instead, he stared at Mori angrily: “Get out of my way! If you dare interfere in my matter, I won’t spare you either!”

“Mori, I…” Sherry wanted to pacify him, but Mori stood firm in front of her, fearlessly meeting Finn Woods’ glare.

“You slapped me. What do you think will happen if I tell Rhett about this?” Mori stated bluntly, a hint of threat in her words.

Upon hearing this, Finn Woods’ eyes narrowed and turned cold.

Mori’s identity was rather special. Although the Cooper family didn’t recognize her, she had shared a relationship with Rhett. Even though they didn’t think much of her, they would still take her side out of respect for Rhett.

Finn Woods wasn’t Connor Cooper, he couldn’t yell at Mori. If Rhett followed up on the matter, his casual slap might lead to severe consequences.

Moreover, the Woods family was already troubled. The main purpose of visiting today was to collect money; there was no need for extra complications.

With these thoughts, Finn Woods snorted coldly and sat down directly in the main seat of the Jones family.

That seat was where Old Madam Jones usually sat. However, as Finn Woods occupied it, not a single soul in the Jones mansion dared to object.

“As for breaking off the engagement, we will settle it slowly. But, you need to return the ten million dollars you took from my family. There is no room for negotiation! Moreover, the Chen boy that caused trouble last night needs to compensate us. Considering your sincere attitude, ten million should do.

Adding these two together, it sums to twenty million. I’m in a hurry, so act swiftly. Whether you have to sell your house or your cars, I don’t care. I need to see this money today!”

Finn Woods sat confidently in the main seat, issuing orders to the Jones family in a forceful tone.

Upon hearing these words, the reaction from everyone in the Jones family was that of shock. They exchanged glances, clearly anxious.

Old Madam Jones quickly tried to defuse the situation: “Mr. Woods, please calm down. Last night’s events were all a misunderstanding. Sherry was just confused for a moment, and we have reprimanded her accordingly.

In the future, she will wholeheartedly take care of you. As for the troublemaker from last night, he isn’t part of our Jones family.

He’s just a child that Sherry’s father brought home unexpectedly. Rest assured, we’re looking for him now. We’ll make sure he kneels in front of you to apologize.”

Finn Woods sneered upon hearing this, and glared at Old Madam Jones: “Are you losing your mind?

Do you seriously think that I, Finn Woods, would still want such a shameless woman?”

And also, don’t try to feign ignorance. That boy last night was brought by Mori. And now you’re trying to deny responsibility?

Ha, you think my Woods family is easy to take advantage of, or simple to deceive?”

Upon hearing these words, an expression of utter despair appeared on the faces of the Jones family.

Forget about twenty million, even ten million is astronomical for the current state of the Jones family.

Old Madam Jones wanted to argue, but Finn Woods’ firm attitude made her feel helpless.

Just as the atmosphere in the room reached a deadlock, White Mitchell appeared outside the Jones family villa.

This place was once his home, but Old Madam Jones moved in after her own family matters forced him out.

“Mr. White?”

Just as he prepared to enter the villa, a familiar voice caught his attention.

White Mitchell looked and saw that it was Nanny Donne, his old housekeeper.

Upon seeing him, Nanny Donne couldn’t help but exclaim: “So it’s really you, Mr. White. You’re finally back.”

“Nanny Donne, where is Sherry?” White Mitchell asked anxiously.

Upon hearing this, Nanny Donne snapped back to reality. She quickly opened the door for him: “Mr. White, Miss Sherry is in the main hall. The big fat pig from the Woods family is already here.. Hurry in and help Miss Sherry!”
