Chapter 216: They are the Ones We Have to Entertain?

Translator: 549690339

“The guest I am supposed to greet…”

A freezing look took over Sherry Jones’s face, ready to give an explanation. But there wasn’t the slightest chance to speak in the face of Will Jones’s intimidating demeanor.

All they heard was Will Jones interrupting bluntly, “What ‘you’? In a couple of days, you’ll have to hand over your shares and the position of general manager. Will there still be a place for you in Jones Group?

An outsider like you entertaining guests, wouldn’t that time be better spent figuring out how to handle your financial problems?

Still trying to butter up to us here? Do you think there’s still room for a comeback? Laughable!”

As soon as he finished speaking, Will Jones burst into cold laughter, his face etched with scorn.

The one following behind him, Ryan, also let out a sarcastic laugh. The two of them looked remarkably bitter.

At this moment, Sherry’s heart was filled with absolute frustration.

But both Will Jones and Ryan completely ignored her, treating her as if she were merely air, casually taking over her work.

Not only that, Will Jones, right in front of Sherry, instructed Ryan to handle the reception properly, assuming the posture of a general manager, exuding an air of confidence.

Seeing this, Sherry felt utterly wronged.

In a short while, Will Jones, pretending to have everything under control, turned his head to find Sherry still standing there motionlessly. Instantly, his face darkened.

He strode over to Sherry and barked, “Sherry Jones! What are you still doing here!? Get out there and handle the debt situation right away! Or, are you planning on denying it? Don’t forget what you promised to old madam yesterday. It’s too late for regrets, now…”

Just as he was about to say the last word, the receptionist hurriedly ran into the conference room, panting heavily, looking utterly startled.

Seeing this, Will immediately yelled, “What’s the matter!? Why are you so panicked!?”

Hmm?

The receptionist, initially somewhat flustered, upon hearing Will’s words, paused instantly. Then, disregarding Will entirely, she turned to Sherry and said, “Mis…Miss Sherry, a lot of people have come with many gifts. They say they want to see you. I…”

Looking seriously at Sherry, the receptionist became a bit incoherent, apparently intimidated by the situation.

Many people?

Many gifts?

Will and Ryan exchanged confused glances. Then, before Sherry could respond, Will took the lead and said, “Let’s go and see.”

This…

The receptionist paused again, her brow furrowed immediately, “Vice President Jones, they said they wanted to meet with Miss Sherry. You guys might…”

Slap!

Although it was just a simple reminder, before she could complete the sentence, Ryan, standing next to Will, without hesitation, slapped the receptionist across her face.

“How dare you talk to Mr. Jones like that? ‘Vice President Jones’, my foot. In a couple of days, there will only be one Mr. Jones in this company, and that will be our Will Jones! Little girl, you have no sense at all. Are you seeking death?” Ryan threatened aggressively.

This…

The slapped receptionist, clutching her face with a look of injustice, cast a pleading glance at Sherry.

Reading the situation, Sherry’s face too became icy. But just as she was about to reprimand Ryan, Will sneeringly walked out of the conference room with Ryan.

They were completely ignoring her!

Sherry Jones clenched her teeth in anger. After reassuring the receptionist, she rushed out of the company building.

She suspected that the visitors might be Antonio Woods and Blake Thomas, but she was confused about the gifts they brought with them.

Meanwhile, Will Jones heard that many people had come, and they had brought gifts. Considering Sherry’s solemn demeanor that day, he assumed they must be significant clients.

So he immediately instructed Ryan to gather some staff members and joyfully went to meet the guests at the entrance.

His enthusiasm was so great that it seemed to surpass that of a traditional festival, only lacking the sound of gongs and drums.

But the moment Will excitedly stepped out of the door, his cheerful smile froze on his face.

Antonio Woods!?

Blake Thomas!?

He was stunned!

Seeing these two, Will was dumbfounded.

At that moment, he felt as though he had been struck by lightning, his body shivered, followed by a tingling sensation on his scalp.

“How… How can it be them!?” Will stood rooted to the spot, staring blankly at Antonio and Blake. His face showed an array of emotions, akin to a revolving lantern.

The scenes from the beating he received yesterday flashed before his eyes, even his physical wounds seemed to remind him of the incident.

Gradually, Will’s legs, seemingly beyond his control, began to tremble.

“Mr. Jones, Mr. Jones, Mr. Jones…” Ryan urged from the side.

Whoosh!

Snapping out of his daze, a look of fear instantly covered Will’s face. Instinctively, he wanted to run away, not wanting to stay there another second.

But by then, Antonio and Blake had noticed his presence. They exchanged a glance and a playful smile appeared on both their faces.

“Will Jones, you still dare to show your face? How are you managing the money you owe us? Or perhaps, you don’t intend to pay back at all?” Antonio sneered at him.

With a gulp, Will, after hearing that, nervously turned back and toughened up to respond, “No, no… About the money…”

Will seemed quite distressed. But at the corner of his eye, he saw Sherry’s arrival.

All of a sudden, as if seeing a savior, he quickly moved behind Sherry and forcefully pushed her in front of Antonio and Blake.

“Mr. Woods, Mr. Thomas, she is now the general manager of the Jones Group and a shareholder. We, the Jones Family, have unanimously decided that she will take on the debt.

Debts are to be paid by debtors, if you want to collect your money, you should find her. Right now, she is the one who owes you.” Will said to them with a sycophantic grin.

Boom!

Upon hearing these words, the anger of everyone around, like Elijah Bailey — who had been standing behind Sherry — was instantly ignited.

Whenever trouble emerged, Will would claim the title of general manager and push Sherry to face the consequences.

Will was shameless, his audacity could beat the turn of a city wall corner!

“Will Jones, are you so fucking shameless now?” Elijah couldn’t help but curse.

But that remark was like a fuse, and it completely enraged Will. With an air of arrogance, he retorted, “Elijah Bailey, who do you think you are? You dare to yell in front of me? You fucking shut up!

Do you have a say here? This debt, wasn’t it Sherry herself who said she would handle it? Did I say anything wrong?

If a so-called general manager and a major shareholder can’t even handle this minor issue, then what right does she have to sit in that position? If she can’t, she should quickly give up her position and stop embarrassing herself here!”
