Chapter 128: Is it Really an Apology? Has the Cooper Family Changed?

Snowden Jones gave White Mitchell a cold, sarcastic look and immediately ordered Nanny Donne, “What are you standing there for!? Hurry up and open the door!”

Nanny Donne’s face twitched, and she hurried out to open the door.

Soon, Maddox personally led Rhett and some other close members of the Cooper family in an anxious state into Jones Family’s house.

“Elder… Elder Cooper!?”

Seeing Maddox, everyone in Jones Family was stunned. Astonishment unconsciously surfaced on their faces, as if they couldn’t believe it.

However, everyone in Jones Family quickly reacted. After all, White Mitchell had fought in the Cooper Household the night before, and it was only natural for them to come and even the score.

Thinking of this, a layer of gloom shrouded the faces of everyone in Jones Family.

Old Madam Jones quickly rose from her seat, with a particularly formal greeting, “Elder Cooper, welcome, welcome. I didn’t know you were coming. I regret for not greeting you outside.

You came at the right time. I was just rebuking Mori. I know about her disrespect towards you last night, rest assured, Jones family will certainly give you a satisfying answer.”

At this moment, Amanda chimed in, “Elder Cooper, this matter actually has nothing to do with our sister and Jones Family.

It was all caused by that kid, White Mitchell. Our sister was led astray by him. Your arrival is perfect timing, you can teach him a lesson.

It’s better than him causing trouble everywhere under the banner of Jones Family.”

This…

Before Maddox could explain the purpose of his visit, he was interrupted by Old Madam Jones and Amanda, feeling a bit at a loss.

He hesitated, glanced at White Mitchell, and quickly looked back at Jones Family members who were bossing White Mitchell around.

“Could it be that Jones Family doesn’t know White Mitchell’s real identity?”

Maddox frowned, quickly recalling the scene from last night where Longman had asked them to keep the secret.

“White Mitchell must be intentionally hiding his identity for some plan. Luckily, I saw through it early. Otherwise, if I ruined White Mitchell’s plans, our Cooper Family would have been beyond redemption!”

Maddox sucked in a cold breath, feared at his own realization.

Having figured this out, Maddox hastily said to Old Madam Jones, “Mother-in-law, you misunderstood. We are not here to cause trouble, but to apologize to Mori.”

Mother-in-law?

Apologize to Mori?

The entire Jones Family was astonished. Everyone was stunned, with looks of incredulity on their faces.

Time seemed to stop, even the air seemed to have stopped moving.

As time pressed on, turmoil filled the hearts of everyone in Jones Family.

Maddox himself had called them in-laws!

Did this mean, the Cooper family had accepted Mori, and agreed to welcome her into their family?

Furthermore, Maddox sincerely apologized to Mori. This level of importance was simply stunning.

If the incident wasn’t unfolding before their eyes, everyone in Jones Family would have thought they were dreaming.

Whoosh!

After a while, a burst of whispers rang out, and a bright smile appeared on Old Madam Jones’s face, her smile brighter than a blooming chrysanthemum.

At this time, Amanda and her mother had a different idea in mind. After all, they hadn’t thought at all that the Coopers would come to their house when they ridiculed Mori just now.

They hadn’t expected that the people from the Cooper family, just as White Mitchell had said, truly came to apologize to Mori Jones.

This was far beyond their imagination, which made them feel a bit worried. After all, if they were to make amends with the Cooper family, the Jones Family would eventually have to rely on the Coopers.

Mori’s status would inevitably rise as a result.

And what if Mori decides to settle scores with them in the future? Wouldn’t they be in trouble then?

Once Amanda figured this out, she quickly said, “Little niece, what we said earlier was all for your own good. It would be helpful for you to distance yourself from White.

We may have been a bit harsh, but good advice is often unwelcome. You understand what I mean, right?”

After listening to Amanda, Mori didn’t respond. She simply was not interested in her words or those of her mother’s.

Meanwhile, Old Madam Jones, with a beaming smile on her face started fostering relations with Maddox Cooper as if they were close relatives. She’d probably like nothing more than to send Mori to the Cooper family right away.

Seeing Old Madam Jones behaving this way, Maddox let out a sigh of relief and patiently engaged in small talk with her.

If it had been any other day, he wouldn’t even bother stepping into the Jones family’s mansion, let alone engage in a conversation with Old Madam Jones

But the circumstances were different now. For the sake of appeasing White Mitchell, Maddox was willing to do whatever it took.

Thinking of this, Maddox hastily turned to Rhett, who was standing behind him, and exclaimed, “Rhett! What are you just standing there for? Hurry up and greet your mother-in-law!

Also, bring the gifts I’ve prepared for my daughter-in-law quickly, no dilly-dallying!”

Maddox cast an angry glance at the obedient Rhett, a clear look of disappointment painted on his face.

Upon hearing this, Rhett shivered all over, and, clutching an antique box, walked up to them tremulously.

“Mother-in-law…please accept my greetings,” Rhett said, full of reverence.

Hearing Rhett address her as ‘mother-in-law’, Old Madam Jones was overjoyed, far more than as if she’d tasted sweet honey

But at this moment, White Mitchell’s indifferent voice rang out slowly, “Oh, wasn’t yesterday’s lesson enough? You’re keen on becoming relatives already?”

Upon hearing this, Old Madam Jones’s laughter faded instantly, replaced by a cold, hard expression. She then scolded, “You little brat! It’s not your turn to speak! Shut up!”

Just as Old Madam Jones spoke to White, both the Coopers, father and son, swallowed involuntarily, their hearts were pounding with fear.

“Rhett! Why haven’t you apologized to Mori yet!?” Maddox, regaining his senses, quickly reprimanded Rhett.

After hearing this, Rhett immediately knelt on the ground, holding the apologetic gift for Mori in his hands, and pleaded pitifully, “Mori, I’m sorry. I was such a jerk before, I didn’t cherish you.

Could you give me another chance? As long as you forgive me, I promise to be good to you and give you the best life possible. Whatever you want, I’ll give you.

As long as you forgive me, I’m willing to do whatever you want.”

If it had been the old Mori, she would have forgiven him without hesitation at this moment. However, she had now completely given up on Rhett.

Even if Rhett could pick the stars from the sky tonight, Mori would not forgive him, and Old Madam Jones became highly alarmed after seeing this.

Subsequently, she sternly said, “Mori! What are you doing!? Rhett, a full-grown man, has done so much, what are you, a woman, hesitating for?

Why haven’t you helped Rhett up yet? Have you really spent so much time with that brat White Mitchell that you’ve even forgotten your own family name?

Fast! You must go help him right now, or else, you are no longer my daughter!”
