Chapter 139: Sherry Jones, the Lone Commander!


    Trantor: 549690339


    The next day, Sherry Jones made an effort to get up early. She pulled out a professional suit she hadn’t worn for a while and put it on.


    The mature and intellectual outfit, coupled with ck stockings, fit Sherry perfectly, adding a blend of career women’s demeanor to her.


    “Are you sure I don’t need to apany you?” White Mitchell asked, as he watched Sherry get ready.


    He knew in his heart that if the Jones Family had agreed so readily the day before, there must be a catch somewhere – something he couldn’t bring himself to trust.


    Perhaps, at this time, the Jones Family had already dug a big trap in thepany, eagerly waiting for Sherry to fall into it.


    However, White Mitchell was not worried. Even if Sherry stirred up trouble today, he would keep her safe and sound!


    Hearing this, Sherry inhaled deeply as she looked at herself in the mirror. She slowly turned around, looking at White Mitchell: “Brother, no need. I’m fine with having my aunt by my side.


    By the way, how’s the house hunting I asked you to do?


    Our mother will being back from River North in a few days, and we can’t keep staying in a hotel.”


    White Mitchell smiled, “Don’t worry, everything has been arranged. We can move in once momes back.”


    Sherry nodded upon hearing this and continued speaking: “Then, for the time being, do buy some necessities for daily living.


    Mother has just recovered from her injury, and we need to be extra careful about anything she uses. If you’re out of money, just let me know.


    I should be able to get some advance payment from my sry. If that’s still not enough, I’ll ask my aunt for a loan.”


    Listening to Sherry’s earnest advice, White Mitchell felt a bitter smile in his heart; he had never worried about money.


    Ever since establishing the White War Department, he has had little concept of money. Every year, too many wealthy people hurriedly send money over to the White War Department.


    With just one word from White Mitchell, he could mobilize a tremendously terrifying amount of funds.


    Therefore, White Mitchell never worried about money before, and certainly wouldn’t start now.


    Subsequently, White Mitchell still felt uneasy, so he secretly sent a message to Mori Jones, asking her to help keep an eye on Sherry and notify him immediately if there was any problem.


    At nine in the morning, Sherry and Mori Jones appeared at the entrance of the Jones Group office.


    However, the inside of the Jones Group was dark. Usually at this hour, thepany would be bustling with employees, but now, even the main door was tightly closed.


    Both girls instinctively frowned at the sight.


    “Aunt, what’s going on…?” Sherry nced at Mori in confusion.


    Mori shook her head and brought out her work card to open the office door.


    “Is anyone there!?”


    Mori shouted, but no one replied.


    Seeing this, Mori’s mood plummeted to the bottom. “It must be something Logan and Snowden are plotting!”


    Mori knew that after the mass resignation of the employees of the Jones Groupst time, Will Jones urgently recruited a group of new employees.


    Also, after much persuasion, he had brought back some of his previous key employees to preside over the overall situation.


    The Jones Group was, strictly speaking, operating normally.


    But the sight before them was theplete opposite: it was time for work, but not a single employee was to be seen.


    If there wasn’t someone behind this, Mori genuinely wouldn’t believe it.


    Who else could cause such a big stir in such a short period of time but Will Jones and Snowden Jones?


    “Aunt, what should we do now?” Sherry was suddenly panicked.


    Even a talented wife can’t cook without rice. She might have huge skills, but she can’t possibly handle everything by herself.


    Furthermore, the Jones family only gave her a month’s time. If the employees had really all left, recruiting again would undoubtedly waste a lot of time.


    On top of that, new recruits would need training. Without any experienced employees guiding, the speed at which they’d get started would take a significant hit.


    Sherry didn’t expect her first day on the job to hold such a massive hurdle set by Logan and his daughter!


    “Not to worry! I’ll call your granduncle and ask what’s going on!” Mori said, trying her best to stay calm.


    Sherry nodded with a helpless look. This was all she could do at the moment.


    Just as Mori was about to contact Will Jones by pulling out her phone, they heard an unfriendly voice from the entrance of the Jones Group.


    “Wow, what’s wrong with the Jones Group? Why is there not a soul in sight? Has thepany closed down? Or is it haunted!?”


    The voice was filled with a hint of mockery, full of bitterness.


    Upon hearing this voice, Mori’s face immediately darkened, “Sounds like it’s Ryan, your granduncle’s assistant!”


    Ryan?


    Sherry was taken aback before she remembered the current situation of the Jones Group that Mori had briefed her about the night before.


    Ryan was considered one of Will Jones’s trusted advisors. When the employees of the Jones Group walked out as a group, he was the first one to do so.


    Luckily, he waster persuaded to return by Will Jones’s offer of three times his original sry.


    He was certainly capable, but was also extremely profit-driven.


    “Didn’t Ryan alreadye back? What does he mean by this?” Mori was a bit confused.


    “Let’s go out and see first!” said Sherry with a solemn look.


    Not long after, they saw a somewhat sleazy middle-aged man with a smug look on his face standing at the gate of thepany. There were about seven or eight arrogant young men standing behind him.


    Undoubtedly, the leader of the group, the slick-looking middle-aged man, was Will Jones’s assistant, Ryan.


    At this moment, he was standing at the entrance of the Jones Group without any reservations, his smug expression filled with a bit of a provocative taste.


    “Ryan, it’s work time. Why are you standing here instead of being in thepany? Who gave you such audacity!” Mori asked, with righteous indignation.


    However, Ryan standing across from her seemed to regard her words as a joke, sneering before looking at Sherry.


    Ryan looked at Sherry with a yful smile on his face and taunted, “Presumably, this must be the newly-appointed general manager of the Jones Group, Miss Sherry Jones, right?”


    Sherry’s face darkened, and she asked coldly, “Ryan, what exactly do you want!?”


    Hearing this, Ryan gave a coldugh and continued to say with a yful tone: “Nothing much, I just wanted to tell you that I have not been an employee of the Jones Group sincest night.


    Not just me, but all the other employees have resigned as well. In other words, you’re by yourself now! Please remember not to speak to me in that tone anymore because I’m not your employee!


    Oh, here’s another thing, see thatpany across the street? They just opened today, and their line of business is exactly the same as the Jones Group! We arepetitors now!


    Don’t worry, whatever business the Jones Group undertakes in the future, we will do the same, until I witness your bankruptcy with my own eyes!”
