Two heavy thuds echoed around the room.

After hearing this, Sherry Jones’s face turned deathly pale, looking utterly desolate.

Speaking truthfully, she had never thought of claiming ownership of the Jones Group’s shares for herself.

She had never coveted the position of CEO either.

But all of this was personally promised to her by Old Madam Jones. How many times had she gone through hardships and suffered suppression from others, just to bring the Jones Group back from the brink and achieve its current scale?

Yet, Old Madam Jones negated all her recent hard work with one statement.

She might refuse her own belongings, but the Jones family shouldn’t be taking it all either!

Moreover, everything she had done was to help White Mitchell make a comeback.

If, at this critical juncture, control of the Jones Group returned to Will Jones’s hands, with his character, he definitely would not agree to use the power of the Jones Group to help White Mitchell.

If that happened, her wish to help White would be utterly doomed.

Upon thinking of this, a resolute look immediately surged onto Sherry’s pale face. She stared at Old Madam Jones unflinchingly, saying, “Grandma, I don’t agree with your decision, nor will I accept it!”

Amanda’s face turned fierce upon hearing these words. She pointed at Sherry and chastised, “How dare you! You ungrateful girl, you’ve really grown cocky now, haven’t you?

You even dare to defy Old Madam Jones’s words. Do you think being CEO for a few days makes you so great? Don’t forget, the Jones Group belongs to our Jones Family, not to you alone, Sherry Jones!”

After rebuking Sherry, Amanda turned to Old Madam Jones and added insult to injury, “Mom, just look at this ungrateful thing. She’s an absolute white-eyed wolf with no conscience left.

If you hadn’t let her be the CEO, she’d be nothing now! Does she really think her few days as CEO makes her achievements greater than everyone else’s?

In my opinion, we should just tell her to pack up and leave. That way, we won’t have to worry about any schemes she might come up with behind our backs!”

Old Madam Jones gave a cold laugh after hearing Amanda’s words, and looked at Sherry, “Sherry, do you think what you agree or disagree with matters now?

Don’t forget, I am the chairwoman of the Jones Group. It’s within my power to appoint or dismiss anyone, all I need is to say the word.

If it were not for your recent hard work, do you think I would still keep you in the company?”

“Grandma, you-” Sherry was left speechless. Indeed, Old Madam Jones could change her mind with a single sentence.

Moreover, how would she fulfill her father’s last wish and help White Mitchell if she left the Jones Group?

Upon thinking of this, Sherry felt incredibly wronged. Her eyes reddened involuntarily.

However, Old Madam Jones seemed to have not noticed at all. She completely ignored Sherry and said, “Alright, now that everything has been discussed and decided, let’s leave it at that.

Will will take over in the afternoon. Whatever you have to hand over, both of you should communicate well.”

“Grandma, I…” Sherry wanted to say something, but the moment she opened her mouth, Amanda glared at her fiercely, scolding, “What ‘I’? Can’t even the president command you now?

You’re wearing a long face day in and day out. Anyone who doesn’t know would assume we Jones’s are mistreating you.

Keeping someone without any work experience like you in the company is a great favor already. Don’t tell me you’re ungrateful? Let me tell you, don’t ever overstep your boundaries!”

Facing Amanda’s harsh words, Sherry Jones had a mist over her eyes, and she seemed to have lost her strength all at once, appearing distraught.

“Alright, let’s leave it at that. Sherry, there’s nothing left for you here, you may leave,” Old Madam Jones said expressionless, her gaze upon Sherry was as if looking at an irrelevant stranger.

Without delay, Amanda eagerly approached Sherry and forcibly drove her out.

Right after Sherry left, Amanda and Will Jones moved closer to Old Madam Jones, asking confusedly, “Mom, why do we still keep that wretched Sherry in the company?”

At those words, Old Madam Jones shot them a displeased glance, and then sternly said, “It’s a stalling tactic, couldn’t you see that? The Jones Group employees still need Sherry to pacify them. When the time comes and all employees of both companies are on track, our Jones Group can grow twice in size. Will, you should seize the time to win people over, don’t be stingy where money should be spent. Fire those who don’t obey, when all employees listen to you, we can make Sherry disappear. Do you understand?”

Whoosh!

Hearing these words, the couple, Will Jones, were instantly enlightened and couldn’t help but give Old Madam Jones two big thumbs up.

Indeed, an old ginger is still hotter, an old fox is still craftier!

Just when Sherry Jones was utterly lost, Ryan swaggered into the Jones Group office with a bunch of employees.

Seeing Ryan, Elijah Bailey was startled and then immediately yelled, “What are you all doing here?! Go away, you’re not welcome here!”

Ryan sneered at those words, “What? Didn’t Vice President Jones tell you? The two companies have merged. Will Jones, Mr. Jones, is now the general manager of Jones Group, and Sherry Jones has been demoted to vice president. We’re now employees of Jones Group. Since we belong to Jones Group, do we need your permission to return to our own company?”

What…???

The employees of Jones Group stopped the work in their hands in response to this remark, revealing a utterly confused expression.

Seeing this, Ryan wore a smug look, commanding the working staff in their seats to leave imperiously.

“Move, move, move, this area now belongs to us, you go to that corner where no one is. Hurry up, don’t drag your feet,” Ryan directed in a high-handed manner.

“Elijah, what…”

At this moment, all the office employees couldn’t help but turn their sights to Elijah Bailey, hoping he could tell everyone that everything Ryan said was not true.

After all, they agreed to return, not to be exploited by Will Jones, they came back for Sherry’s sake.

But at this moment, Elijah Bailey looked completely at loss, having no idea what was going on.

Meanwhile, Ryan arrogantly looked at the employees of the Jones Group, saying triumphantly, “What, don’t believe it? If you don’t believe it, go make a phone call to ask. Don’t stand in the way here.”

At this point, Elijah Bailey could bear no more and furiously said to Ryan, “Ryan, don’t make a fuzz here, we have yet to make things clear, you’re not allowed to…”

Ryan threw Elijah Bailey a scornful glance, cutting him off before he finished talking, “Elijah, you old fool, save it. Who do you think you are? You still think you’ll stay in Jones Group? I’m not afraid to tell you, Mr. Jones said when he comes back, the first one to be fired will be you. And, the seat you’re sitting in now already belongs to me, Ryan! The wise choice is to pack your stuff and get lost! Don’t get in the way here, or else, I will call the police and accuse you of trespassing!”
