King's Awakening

Chapter 185: Not taking Thaw Mall seriously?

Translator: 549690339

“You!”

Mori Jones was rendered speechless upon hearing these words, she stared at the supervisor of Thaw Mall, her face filled with anger and frustration.

“Let it go, Mori. We’re here today to resolve the issue, not bicker with her,” Sherry Jones interjected at this point.

Though seeing their family’s product being trashed like this stirred up a whirlwind of emotions within her.

But there were more pressing matters at hand than wasting time here.

Moreover, their actions seemed to be aimed at intimidating the Jones family. As long as it could help the Jones Group overcome the current predicament, she was willing to swallow any humiliation.

“Hmph!”

Mori huffed again, her pretty face frosty as she shot a cold glare at the supervisor.

Yet, the supervisor seemed completely oblivious, her face smug with arrogance and looking right through Sherry and Mori, as if they were insignificant.

Seeing this, Sherry took a deep breath, composed herself, and patiently asked, “I am Sherry Jones, the general manager of the Jones Group.

I know you’ve set all this up against me, I’m here now. Could you please let your boss know I’ve arrived and I would like to meet him?

No matter what his demands are, as long as they are within our ability, we will comply.”

The supervisor stared at Sherry’s stifled expression of frustration and mocked her by responding, “Is our boss of Thaw Mall someone you can meet just because you want?

Heh… wait here…remember, wait here until our boss deems it satisfactory to let you in.”

Saying this, the supervisor turned around on her heel, disregarding whether Sherry responded, and strutted back into the mall.

Seeing this, Mori felt even more indignant. How could a mere supervisor of Thaw Mall act so arrogantly?

How unlucky would Sherry be if they were to meet the boss of Thaw Mall?

Besides, it was now midday, and a glaring sun was hanging right above their heads.

The temperature felt like it was nearing forty degrees, like a still furnace.

If they had to wait outside the mall, they would probably get sunburnt within hours. Skin damage was not the biggest concern though; under these conditions, dehydration and heat exhaustion were real risks. If anything were to happen to Sherry, how could she explain it to White Mitchell?

With this thought, Mori couldn’t help but worry about Sherry.

“Sherry, let’s leave. The mall owner is clearly trying to humiliate us. There must be other ways to resolve this. We don’t need to bow and scrape to him,” Mori suggested.

The first person she thought of was White Mitchell.

White Mitchell’s capabilities were extraordinary. The Jones Family had hidden the two hundred million worth of goods, yet he found them within an hour and returned them intact to the company warehouse.

Such power refreshed Mori’s judgment of him.

Indeed, from the current situation, the Green Family behind Thaw Mall seemed formidable and not easy to deal with.

However, it may not be something White couldn’t handle.

Thus, Mori didn’t want to see Sherry being humiliated. But as soon as she finished speaking, Sherry immediately refused, “Mori, I know what you’re trying to do.

Your friend has helped us a lot already. I don’t want to trouble him any further.

The Jones Group is ours. There are some things we need to handle ourselves, and what’s more, if every time a problem arises and I resort to seeking help, wouldn’t that make me a rather useless general manager?”

“But, this…”

Mori was rendered speechless and unsure of how to persuade Sherry further.

On the other hand, once the supervisor had entered the mall, she took the elevator directly to an upscale office on the fifth floor.

At this time, Dominic Anderson was sitting back relaxed, legs casually crossed, a cigar in one hand and wine in the other, leisurely looking out the window.

Outside the window, he had a clear view of Sherry and Mori.

“Mr. Dominic, I made them uncomfortable per your instructions,” The supervisor knocked and entered, reporting with great care.

Dominic nodded indifferently, subsequently murmuring to himself. “This Sherry Jones is quite a beauty, no wonder Hans Weiden can’t forget her.

Tsk tsk…what a pity, she got noticed by that jerk Weiden first, otherwise…”

As he spoke, a glint of unabashed greed flickered in Dominic’s eyes as he focused on Sherry.

The supervisor overheard this and said fawningly, “Mr. Dominic, she is just a woman from a third-tier rich family.

Hans Weiden may not necessarily want to marry her. He probably just wants to have a fling. Once he’s done playing with her, given your relation…

The supervisor didn’t finish her sentence, but the innuendo was apparent.

Dominic shot her a sideways glance and said nothing, but that one look made the supervisor shudder.

“Mr. Dominic, I am sorry, my mouth runs away with me. I shouldn’t have…,” the supervisor trembled and quickly began to apologize.

Dominic let out a cold laugh, a cheeky expression playing upon his face. “Who would have thought, you really are a genius!”

Hmm?

The supervisor was taken aback, chuckled nervously, and said nothing further. Just as the saying goes, ‘liaison with the powerful is like an alliance with a tiger’. She was feeling the effects of that now.

At this point, a man in a white T-shirt appeared on the plaza below. He walked up to Sherry and Mori and accompanied them into the mall as if he owned the place.

Dominic turned around just in time to see this, his eyes narrowing like a venomous snake.

“Sherry Jones has entered. Go, show her some colors, strike a blow. Warn her that if she doesn’t do as I say, there is no point in the Jones Group coming to me!” His face grew sullen as he casually gave the orders.

Upon hearing that, the supervisor hastily left the office, pulled out a walkie-talkie, and called in several security personnel from the mall to rush towards Sherry with an imposing aura.

Once they arrived at Sherry, the supervisor pointed at Sherry’s nose with great pride and said, “What’s going on!? Weren’t you told to wait outside!?

What are you trying to do now? You’re not paying heed to my words, or are you taking Thaw Mall lightly!?

Our boss had just made it clear. Either you continue to stand outside or the matter with the Jones Group will not be discussed! If you’re wise, get the hell out of here! Otherwise, I’ll have the security toss you out!”
