King's Awakening

Chapter 286:- Teaming up to Report a Forged Check?

The small auditorium of the Royal Group.

Grandy Anderson and Dominic Anderson had returned to their respective camps.

Although they were united in dealing with White Mitchell and Sherry Jones, they were rivals in the bidding for the Nezzi New City project.

Of course, Dominic Anderson hoped to join forces with the Imperial Group for the bid, but sadly, after the last incident, his status within the family had plummeted.

His sister, April, had always threatened his position, and now his father, Messiah Anderson, didn’t even want to spare him a glance.

All of this was thanks to White Mitchell.

So, Dominic Anderson thought that no matter what, he had to vent his anger on Sherry Jones today.

When Grandy Anderson returned to Alan Austin’s side, he noticed the slap mark on her face immediately.

After careful questioning, he learned that it was a staff member of the Royal Group who had hit her.

Instantly, a hint of displeasure surfaced on Alan Austin’s face.

“If Sherry Jones is seeking her own demise, then let’s not let her live. When she goes on stage for the capital verification, you and Dominic Anderson should report her together. I refuse to believe that anyone can save her!” Alan Austin said viciously.

Just then, David Herb, dressed in a sharp suit, slowly stepped onto the stage. With a microphone in his hand and an earpiece in his ear, he greeted the crowd warmly.

Whether intentionally or unintentionally, when his gaze fell on Alan Austin, a playful smile involuntarily appeared on his face.

Alan Austin thought he was offering a goodwill gesture and instantly straightened his back, displaying a triumphant demeanor. Judging from his expression, he seemed determined to win the Nezzi New City project.

If it wasn’t inappropriate to make some comments public, he really wanted to disclose his conversation with David Herb and let the other competitors know not to waste their efforts. David Herb had already promised him that he had a very high chance of securing the Nezzi New City project.

The audience members saw David Herb’s determined countenance and couldn’t help but feel a dark cloud forming in their hearts.

While everyone at the scene had their own thoughts, David Herb directly began the capital verification.

A dozen actuaries sat on the stage, verifying every single asset held by the attendees to ensure no mishaps occurred.

Of course, some people held checks, which took a bit longer to verify.

Then, representatives from participating companies, lined up in order, each took their proof of capital to the stage one by one.

Although David Herb set their threshold at fifty billion, nearly none of the corporations doing capital verification had assets worth less than a hundred billion.

Watching these corporations, each with assets exceeding a hundred billion, Sherry Jones felt a surge of tension.

The pressure she was currently facing mainly had two points: one was the authenticity of the check, and the other was the amount of capital.

Even if the check Beckett gave her was real, she only had a hundred billion in funds. Compared to the wealthy bosses at the scene, this amount was nothing.

This tense mood reached its peak after the Zhang Group and the Imperial Group completed their capital verification.

The Zhang Group had verified funds of 250 billion and even offered a condition to reduce the price of construction materials, saving a considerable amount of money for the Nezzi New City project crew.

Meanwhile, the Imperial Group stunned everyone by putting up a whopping 500 billion in funds, demonstrating a fearless spirit to seize the Nezzi New City in one fell swoop.

Compared to them, Sherry Jones’ 100 billion seemed like a slight drizzle, offering no real competition.

“Next, Miss Sherry Jones.” David Herb said on the microphone.

Although Sherry Jones was nervous, when the time came, it came. It was finally her turn to appear on stage for capital verification.

Upon hearing this, Sherry Jones couldn’t help but take a few deep breaths, trying hard to calm her nerves.

However, this didn’t alleviate much of her pressure. When she got up on stage, she was so distracted that she almost tripped and fell.

Just as she was about to fall, a tense voice immediately came through in David Herb’s earpiece.

“Get someone to disassemble the stage and replace it,” David Herb immediately ordered.

In an instant, the crowd was surprised. Even Sherry herself felt flattered and quickly apologized to David Herb.

But when David Herb heard this, he was the one who felt flattered.

This was White Mitchell’s wife, how could he let her apologize to him?

However, it was not a good time to be overly expressive, so needless to say, he was very nervous at this moment.

Fortunately, White Mitchell didn’t say much, he just quietly said in his earpiece, “Continue.”

Receiving the order, David Herb didn’t dare to be negligent, and hurriedly accepted the check handed over by Sherry Jones.

“Mr. Herb, the capital verification amount of our Jones Group is ten billion, please take a glance,” Sherry Jones said in a very respectful manner.

As soon as this was said, the scene was filled with mocking voices.

“Jones Group? Isn’t that the third-class tycoon of Sayon? How come even such a small family venture is participating in the capital verification conference?”

“Isn’t it, although they can take out ten billion, they don’t have this kind of backing. With their minimal family resources, I’m afraid they don’t even know what project coordination is.”

“God knows if her ten billion is real or fake, maybe it’s just a fake check to show off. Being able to compete with us on the same stage, how glamorous that would make them look?”

The mocking voices were one after another, the people underneath the stage didn’t hide their disdain for Sherry Jones at all. It seemed they didn’t take her seriously at all, let alone see her as a competitor.

Hearing these mocking voices, Sherry Jones couldn’t help but tighten her lips, and a look of embarrassment flashed across her face.

At this moment, David Herb directly shouted, “Silence! What do you think this place is, a market!?”

After hearing David Herb’s voice, the crowd immediately quieted down, each one tactfully shutting their mouths.

At this moment, from the camp of the Imperial Group, Grandy Anderson quietly gave a signal to the nearby Dominic Anderson, then stood up and said, “Mr. Herb, I accuse someone of using a fake check for the capital verification!”

As soon as she finished speaking, Dominic Anderson at a distance also raised his hand and indicated, “Mr. Herb, I also accuse someone of using a fake check!”

Huh!?

As soon as these two statements were made, the crowd couldn’t help but look surprised and looked towards Sherry Jones on the stage.

“Could it be that I was right, Sherry Jones is holding a fake check!?” someone couldn’t help but say, a playful expression appearing on his face.

Daring to use a fake check to participate in the capital verification, it’s just like an old man seeking death!

Upon hearing this, David Herb’s face suddenly darkened, two cold lights flickering in his eyes, shooting towards Grandy Anderson and Dominic Anderson respectively.

Of course, David Herb knew whose name they wanted to accuse, it was Sherry Jones herself. But could they simply accuse Sherry Jones if they wanted to?

Regardless of the fact that the check in Sherry Jones’s hand was real, her status wasn’t something they could simply discredit!

Just as David Herb was ready to throw them out, a playful voice came from the earpiece, “Since they are asking for it, let them continue speaking.

Otherwise, this capital verification conference would seem too boring.”
