Chapter 432: Jonah Jones Makes a Move!
White Mitchell stood by Sherry Jones, his gaze slowly sweeping over Andrea Jones, who looked like a queen at that mont.
It has to be said, in terms of presence or beauty, Andrea Jones was no less than Sherry Jones. In fact, her compelling aura was sothing Sherry currently lacked.
There were indeed cases of female-led families in Capital City, but it was rare for soone as young as Andrea Jones to sit firmly in the position of Family Head.
Her age was so young, yet she had such a strong bearing, an extraordinary woman indeed!
White Mitchell could tell how extraordinary Andrea Jones was just by glancing at her. To him, such won as Andrea were no less ambitious than n. In fact, if the scale of the Jones family was not limited, her position in Capital City could even have been higher.
However, none of that mattered to him, as Sherry Jones was the only one in his heart. If not for Sherry, he would not have had any interaction with this woman.
Just as White Mitchell was about to turn his gaze away, a sarcastic voice suddenly sounded from behind him, “Who’s this bumpkin who dares to not show respect when seeing the Family Head? How audacious!”
White slowly turned around, only to see Jonah Jones leading the heirs of the third branch, approaching with a displeased look on his face.
At this mont, Sherry turned around and saw Jonah as well.
Before visiting the Jones Family, Sherry had already done her howork and possessed so understanding of the major mbers of the third branch. She knew Jonah at first glance.
“I’m sorry, my brother…” Sherry didn’t want to antagonize Jonah. She knew that she needed the help of people like Jonah if she wanted to successfully take charge of the third branch.
It’s better to avoid trouble than to invite it, in Sherry’s view; there was nothing inappropriate.
But just as she was about to apologize, White Mitchell beside her spoke in an indifferent tone, “You’re the head of the third branch now, and you should display the tenacity worthy of it, otherwise, you’ll fail to control these people.”
Upon hearing White Mitchell’s words, Sherry let out a bitter smile.
She understood his point. However, being new to all this, she didn’t have a firm foundation yet. If she disrespected these old ministers now, it could offend others.
With these thoughts in mind, Sherry began to speak gently, “Brother, forget it. Let’s endure it a bit longer. We only just got here, it’s not advisable to antagonize them.”
Upon hearing these words, White Mitchell silently shook his head, expressing his disagreent, “Sotis, even if you do not want to oppose soone, it doesn’t an they will let you go. It’s important to know when to advance or retreat, but being too yielding will only make others increasingly bold.”
“You may not want to use them to build your authority, but that doesn’t an they won’t do the sa to you.”
Upon hearing these words, Sherry paused, then looked at White Mitchell in surprise.
How did White Mitchell understand all these truths, and why did they sound so reasonable?
During Sherry’s mont of distraction, Jonah and the heirs of the third branch had already approached them.
Jonah looked over at White Mitchell, sneered and chuckled, “So you’re the visitors from Sayon?”
Hearing this, White Mitchell stood tall and made no reply.
Seeing his silence, one of the heirs imdiately could not help but reprimand, “Are you mute? Didn’t you hear Uncle Jonah asking you a question?”
“Oh?” White Mitchell’s face showed a surprised expression, then he chuckled dismissively, “So you were talking to ? I thought it was just a dog barking around.”
As soon as these words were uttered, whispers rippled out around them. Even the mbers from the other two branches couldn’t help but turn their gaze towards White Mitchell.
“This guy from Sayon is so cocky. He’s just arrived, isn’t he? If he stays here for a few more days, he might not even respect the Family Head.”
“Hehe, this guy will probably suffer a lot. He looks like a moocher, thinking he’s invincible just because his woman is the head of the branch. How naïve.”
“Sherry will likely be in trouble now because of this guy. He just arrived and already offended Jonah. Everyone knows that Jonah is petty. If he bears a grudge, it’ll be hard for Sherry to operate in the third branch.”
A round of mocking voices arose in the crowd as they seed to deliberately speak loudly enough for White Mitchell to hear.
But throughout all this, there was not a ripple in White Mitchell’s expression, as calm as an ancient well.
“Such arrogance! Do you know where you are? Do you know who you are? Do you have the right to talk big here!?” Jonah sneered, and then, with a stern voice, berated him.
Jonah’s sudden outrage frightened Sherry, but driven by her instinct to protect White Mitchell, Sherry shielded him behind herself and stared defiantly at Jonah: “You can’t bully my brother!
You brought all these people here, Jonah, and you’ve targeted my brother right from the start. Do you have any respect for ?
Are you trying to rebel in front of all the mbers of the Jones clan!?”
To protect White Mitchell, Sherry completely let go. At this mont, she realized that Jonah and his group, who were nitpicking on White Mitchell’s minor faults, obviously had intentions of using a show of strength to intimidate them.
Most likely, even if it wasn’t about White Mitchell today, they would find other reasons to agitate her.
Since that was the case, there was no reason to be polite with them.
Seeing Sherry acting like this, a smile of triumph erged on Jonah’s face.
What he wanted to see today was Sherry using her position as the head to suppress him, which would enable him to impose the label of a tyrannical bully on her smoothly.
Sherry had just arrived in Capital City, and the thousands of eyes of the mbers of the third branch were all on her.
If she dared to suppress him using her position as the head, it would be much easier for him to persuade others.
At that ti, no matter if Sherry was the head of the branch, all the heirs would listen to his commands, and Sherry would be nothing more than a puppet!
Upon this realization, Jonah eagerly spoke, “Sherry, you indeed make good use of your position. Your boyfriend was the one who did wrong first. I was just kindly reminding him, and he started insulting people.”
“Clearly, he’s being so hubristic because you’re the head of the branch.
Hehe… such a great majesty, such a great majesty!”
