Chapter 284: Chapter 284: Do You Think You can Attend the Capital Verification Meeting With a Fake Check?
Sayon, Royal Group.
Time flew by in the blink of an eye. During the three days, all thirteen companies participating in the capital verification were putting their best efforts to prepare for the capital verification convention.
Among them was Sherry Jones herself.
Sherry knew that, whether in terms of financial strength or resources, she did not have the upper hand and surely couldn’t surpass other companies.
However, for the sake of White Mitchell, she had to give it her all and try, even if there was only a one-in-ten-thousand chance, she could not let it go.
That day, Sherry Jones, along with Mori Jones and Elijah Bailey, appeared at the site of the Royal Group’s capital verification convention.
However, what she couldn’t imagine was that the person she longed to protect was, at that very moment, sitting in David Herb’s office, watching the live feed of the capital verification convention and silently controlling everything.
“Sherry, don’t worry too much. The threshold for this capital verification convention is fifty billion. As long as we surpass fifty billion, capital verification will be successful, and we can participate in the next stage of bidding.
We now have the hundred billion funds given by Mr. Beckett, so passing the threshold should not be a problem.” Seeing Sherry Jones’ anxious expression, Mori Jones offered her reassurances.
However, immediately after her words were uttered, a harsh voice made its way into their ears.
“Oh, isn’t this Sherry Jones, the CEO of Jones Group, and Miss Jones? How come a third-tier tycoon dares to participate in capital verification now?” The voice was filled with mockery.
Upon hearing these words, the faces of the trio: Sherry, Mori, and Elijah, darkened. They slowly turned around, getting a good look at the mocking face.
Grandy Anderson!
On seeing her, Sherry Jones’ gloomy face immediately clouded over with an indelible chill.
If looks could kill, then Sherry’s glare would be enough to tear Grandy Anderson to shreds!
This wicked woman deceived White Mitchell’s feelings, teamed up with Alan Austin to frame him, and made him spend five years in prison for a crime he didn’t commit!
If it hadn’t been for her testimony in court, the false charges made by Austin and his associates would never have posed a threat to Mitchell.
It was she who, in the court that day, feigned a pitiful appearance, hiding behind the guise of punishing a wrong-doer, and directly accused Mitchell.
“White, I’m sorry, I really don’t want you to continue being wrong. You can still have a chance if you turn back and mend your ways.” These were the words spoken by Grandy Anderson in court to White Mitchell.
Sherry remembered every word she said in court that day.
Now, upon meeting again, she could hardly wait to skin and debone this vicious woman!
“Hehe…how can it be? Is someone unwelcoming? Don’t be like this. In a way, I was your matchmaker. Had I not dumped White Mitchell back then, you wouldn’t have had the chance to play house with him, would you?
What’s wrong? Wearing a pair of shoes I discarded, you can’t even manage a thank you?” Grandy Anderson sarcastically sneered.
Upon hearing these words, Sherry clenched her teeth in fury. Often soft-spoken, she felt a surge of anger welling up within her when she heard Grandy Anderson insult White Mitchell.
Seeing the situation turning dire, Mori quickly stepped in front of Sherry and warned Grandy Anderson sternly, “Grandy Anderson, what goes around, comes around. What you did back then, you will eventually face repercussions!
Don’t forget, this isn’t just Royal Group’s property, it is also the site of Nezzi New City’s capital verification convention!
If you dare to continue pushing people around here, it won’t be pleasant for us, and it won’t be pleasant for your Sebastian Group!
Upon hearing this, Grandy Anderson’s face twisted in rage and she raised her hand to slap Mori across her face.
With a crisp smack, the sound of her slap resounded.
Mori never expected that Grandy Anderson would be so bold as to physically attack someone at the Royal Group’s premises.
“You!” Mori’s face instantly bore the mark of a slap.
At this point, Sherry quickly shielded Mori behind her, she stared at Anderson with furious eyes.
But before she could say anything, Anderson scoffed and said, “A mere mistress dares to yell at me? Are you tired of living!?
You really think you can run amok over me with a fake check in your hands to verify your funding? Take a good look at yourself and see what kind of a person you are!
I’m telling you, today I won’t even let you guys enter the funding verification meeting!”
Upon hearing these words, Sherry Jones’s face turned even darker: “Grandy Anderson, don’t fabricate lies here! On what grounds are you claiming that our check is fake!?
As for you, bullying people with your power here, are you looking down on Royal Group now?”
Faced with Sherry Jones’s threat, Grandy Anderson sneered again; her pretty face was filled with fearless disdain, showing no regard for Sherry’s words.
At this moment, not far away, Dominic Anderson, a member of the Zhang Group wheeled in on his wheelchair, slowly heading towards Sherry.”
While on his way, Dominic was checking his phone and began to speak sarcastically: “Recipient, Beckett, still an assembly line worker at Imperial Group two weeks ago, has a terminally ill father at home and a mother who migrated from the suburbs to live with him.
The family of three lives in an urban village with a monthly rent of one thousand yuan, and an area of fifteen square meters…”
Dominic disclosed Beckett’s information in detail and finally put the photos of Beckett on his phone screen in front of Sherry Jones: “The one who gave you the check was this pathetic creature, right? Hahaha…”
This…?
Looking at the photo on Dominic’s phone, Sherry’s face changed drastically, her heart thudded in her chest, an intense unease rising within her.
“Sherry, don’t listen to their nonsense, it doesn’t mean…” Upon seeing this, Mori Jones hurriedly tried to reassure Sherry.
Before she could finish, Grandy Anderson scoffed: “Talking nonsense? Haha… You’re still playing tough when you’re in deep trouble, typical of those refusing to admit their doom until the last moment.
Let me tell you, this Beckett used to be your brother’s business partner. Two weeks ago, he was persuaded by your brother to get involved in some unscrupulous business. It seems like dogs can’t stop eating shit after all.
It appears that White Mitchell, who died in prison, even managed to deceive his own wife. Hahaha… You are truly a ‘loving couple’!”
“You…you’re talking nonsense!” Upon hearing this, Sherry felt a dark cloud looming in her heart.
The first time she met Beckett, she felt a sense of familiarity. Now, after hearing what Grandy Anderson said, it all came back to her.
Beckett used to be a roommate of White Mitchell’s and she had met him a few times in the past. Explore new 𝒏ovels on n𝒐velbi𝒏(.)com
However, when she saw Beckett the other day, he had changed so much compared to his previous tech-nerd persona that she didn’t recognize him at first.
Now that she remembered, she felt even more agitated.
Could it be…the check she had was indeed fake!?
No, that couldn’t be, if Beckett is indeed White Mitchell’s man, then he would never have duped her.
While Sherry was feeling troubled and uneasy, the nearby Grandy Anderson was already approaching the Royal Group staff: “Hello, I want to file a complaint.
There are some people here trying to enter the funding verification meeting with a fake check. We discovered it and they are still denying it. They are right over there.”
What!?
A fake check?!
The staff member in charge of maintaining order on site furrowed his brow and followed Grandy Anderson’s finger to look at Sherry Jones and her companions.
Upon seeing this, Sherry’s heart thudded fearfully and she became flustered.
The staff member noted this and interpreted it as guilt, causing his expression to darken even more.
Bringing a fake check to a funding verification meeting… weren’t they just asking for trouble?
If the authorities from Nezzi found out about this, who would take responsibility?
Immediately, the on-site staff member strode towards Sherry’s group. But just as he was about to approach them, an apathetic voice echo through the earpiece he was wearing.
The voice of White Mitchell suddenly sounded from the earpiece, cold and commanding, brooking no disobedience: “Slap that woman next to you twice, and let the one who was just slapped by her return the favor!”
