Chapter 399: Chapter 399: An Embarrassed and Angry Lisa Jones!
You!
Old Madam Jones stared at Will Jones and Snowden Jones in shock, her face filled with astonishment.
Could this be the son she had always defended?
Or the granddaughter she had always spoiled?
Ha, ha…
Old Madam Jones forced a smile, her laughter filled with defeat. Her hands, tightly gripping her walking stick, began to tremble.
After a long moment, Old Madam Jones wordlessly shook her head and sighed heavily, as if making a significant decision.
Turning around, she gave Will Jones and Snowden Jones one last melancholic glance before she said resolutely, “This is the last thing I can do for you. I hope that from now on, you’ll become good people.”
At her words, deep guilt spread across the faces of Will Jones and Snowden Jones, they could not even meet Old Madam Jones’s gaze.
Yet even so, they didn’t stand forward to accept their responsibility. They just stood there, unmoving.
Seeing their reaction, Old Madam Jones shook her head once more. Then, she turned towards Jayden and said, “Commander Jayden, they’re right. I forced them into this. I will bear the consequences. Please give the order.”
After speaking, Old Madam Jones unresistantly walked towards the members of the Martial Department – there wasn’t a hint of rebellion.
Will Jones and Snowden Jones heaved a sigh of relief seeing Old Madam Jones’s actions, despite their intense guilt.
However, just as they were about to nonchalantly depart, White Mitchell, who had been silent until this point, spoke, “Did I say you could leave?”
Huh!?
Will Jones and Snowden Jones frowned and experienced a sudden vague feeling of apprehension.
What did this damn White Mitchell still want to do?
Will Jones cursed silently in his heart, but due to Jayden’s presence, he didn’t dare lash out. He turned to White Mitchell with a force smile, “White…White, it’s clear now that this matter has nothing to do with us. You see, even my mother admitted that she was behind everything.”
“We’re also the victims. Don’t worry, we will cooperate with the investigation without any conditions.”
“Yes, yes, my father is right. Everything was my grandmother’s doing, it has nothing to do with us, we’re also victims,” Snowden Jones chimed in.
Victims?
Upon hearing this, White Mitchell laughed coldly then spoke indifferently, “It’s not up to you to decide who the victims are. Right, Commander Jayden?”
Regardless of how much Old Madam Jones was involved in previous events, the actions of Will Jones and Snowden Jones today sickened White Mitchell.
They were willing to have an old woman who was halfway in her grave take the blame. He was astounded that they could be so cruel.
Jayden, looking at Will Jones and Snowden Jones with distaste, answered, “Of course!”
“White Mitchell, you…”
Will Jones was momentarily at a loss for words and angrily said, “White Mitchell, what do you want from us? After all, our family raised you for over a decade. Are you really going to kill us all? Doesn’t this betray my second brother, Logan Jones?”
“White Mitchell, please… Please spare us. We had nothing to do with what happened, we were also forced into this. My grandmother has already told the truth. Are you still not willing to forgive us?” Snowden Jones pleaded.
But throughout all of this, White Mitchell’s face only showed a deep-seated disgust. Not a shred of sympathy could be seen on his face for them.
“Spare you?” White Mitchell laughed coldly again, “When you were pressuring Sherry, did you ever think about sparing her?”
White Mitchell had already given the Jones Family chances more than once but they just refused to change. Even now, they were still trying to sacrifice others to save themselves.
Such people were beyond saving!
At that moment, White Mitchell turned to Jayden and said very carefully, “I want a fair judgement on this matter. I would not wish to see an innocent person punished, but I also would not let an evil person go!”
“Mr. Mitchell, don’t worry. I will make sure everything is handled appropriately,” Jayden immediately replied.
After instructing Jayden, White Mitchell ignored the venomous looks from Will Jones and Snowden Jones, and prepared to leave with Sherry Jones.
Sherry looked at Old Madam Jones with a reluctant heart, then sighed softly.
Regardless, Old Madam Jones had watched her grow up. To say there were no feelings involved, that would certainly be a lie.
But natural disasters could be forgiven, self-inflicted ones could not be lived with!
The Jones family’s current situation was entirely a result of their own actions.
Thinking this, Sherry followed White Mitchell without hesitation, and they left the Martial Department together.
Watching White Mitchell’s retreating figure, the hearts of Will Jones and Snowden Jones sank.
They knew that what awaited them would be the judgement of the law.
They were afraid that for the things they had done to White Mitchell and Sherry, they would lose everything, even if they didn’t lose their lives.
“White Mitchell, you can’t treat us like this, we raised you for over a decade!”
“White Mitchell, are you okay with betraying my second uncle?”
“White Mitchell, stop, stop…”
Will Jones and Snowden Jones collapsed onto the ground, screaming wildly, but White Mitchell didn’t even glance back at them once.
“Bring them in, take them to The Patrol for later judgement!” Jayden ordered decisively.
The storm was over, and what awaited the Jones family would be long-term imprisonment.
…
On the other hand, after Lisa Jones left the Martial Department, she became furious.
If she could barely suppress her anger in public just now, it was evident now that she could not restrain it anymore.
“Jayden! You’ve gone too far!!!” Lisa Jones angrily picked up a glass from the hotel and crashed it onto the floor. Her usually charming face was now full of veins, making her look like a mad lion.
“Wu Lao!”
Lisa Jones called. She wasn’t ready to let go of today’s humiliation.
If Jayden was insistent on standing on White Mitchell’s side and protecting him, then she would make sure that White Mitchell disappeared from this world completely!
Then she would see where Jayden would save face!
“Tomorrow morning, I’ll go back to Capital City. I’ll leave the Sayon matters to you. I hope to hear about White Mitchell’s death as soon as I land!” Lisa Jones said through gritted teeth.
Wu Lao, upon hearing this, nodded arrogantly, “Don’t worry, lady. If it wasn’t for Jayden protecting that brat just now, he would be long dead.”
Hearing Wu Lao’s reassurances, Lisa Jones’s mood finally calmed down a bit, but she was still angry. “White Mitchell, you’ve brought this on yourself!!!”
