Chapter 352: Chapter 352: Myles Returns!
Sayon Cemetery.
“White, is it true? Has Alan Austin really been executed?!” Wen Zhihui, White Mitchell’s stepmother, stood tearful next to the gravestone of Logan Jones, a picture of sorrow.
Today was the day of Logan’s death anniversary.
She had just arrived at Sayon Cemetery along with Sherry Jones to pay their respects when White Mitchell had shared the news with her.
“It’s true, they have been executed, The Patrol have uncovered all their crimes.” White Mitchell spoke up, not revealing the real situation.
Before they arrived, White had cleared out the scene, leaving no trace.
It was not that he wanted to conceal, but there were things too bloody that White Mitchell did not want them to see.
Upon hearing White Mitchell’s response, Wen Zhihui burst into tears.
Alan Austin had been executed, so had Grandy Anderson.
The despicable pair that had driven her husband to death finally got their deserved punishment.
Tears streamed down Wen Zhihui’s face as she clung hold to Logan’s tombstone, lamenting, “Logan, can you see this? They’ve been executed, the ones who drove you to death… they’ve all been executed…”
She clung to the tombstone of Logan, and could not help but sob loudly.
The poignant sound, sharp as a knife, pierced into White Mitchell’s heart.
His stepfather died because of him, if not for trying to seek justice on his behalf, he wouldn’t have been murdered by Alan Austin.
Now, the vengeance for his father had only been half-fulfilled because he knows who the principal culprit is.
A blood debt must be repaid in kind!
“Brother, don’t blame yourself too much. If our father has a spirit in heaven, he doesn’t want to see you this way either,” Sherry Jones comforted him softly, her eyes already blurred with tears.
White Mitchell gave a faint nod in response, and silently held her in his arms.
“In this lifetime, I won’t let anyone hurt you again. Never, never again!” White Mitchell vowed silently in his heart.
Just at this moment, Kylin, who had been guarding outside the cemetery, walked over, disrupting the tranquility here.
“Big brother, the Jones Family are here. They came to pay respect to Uncle Jones.” Kylin reported.
Hearing this, he said coldly, “It is my stepfather’s death anniversary and I don’t want to see them. Chase them all out!”
Kylin who received the order, immediately went to drive the Jones Family away.
However, the Jones family seemed adamant about pleasing White Mitchell. So even though Kylin drove them away, they still clandestinely waited outside the cemetery.
When White Mitchell and Sherry Jones escorted the grieving Wen Zhihui out of the cemetery, the Jones Family swarmed towards them, their faces covered in obsequious smiles, clearly trying to ingratiate themselves.
“Get lost!”
Before the Jones Family could say anything, White Mitchell spoke up coldly, his voice as icy as a blade.
Today was the death anniversary of his stepfather, and the Jones Family, as his relatives, didn’t even bother to pay their respects beforehand.
And now, they shamelessly came to suck up to him?
He had seen many shameless people, but none were as bold-faced as the Jones Family. There wasn’t a second one like them in the entire Sayon.
If it was not for his stepfather’s sake, just based on how they treated Sherry Jones in the past, they deserved to be annihilated.
However, in the face of White Mitchell’s expulsion, the Jones Family did not show dissatisfaction, instead, they enthusiastically drew closer.
“White, we understand what happened. We were blind to your worth and didn’t treat you and Sherry well in the past.
But rest assured, from now on, our family will mend our ways and not repeat our past mistakes.
You are our son-in-law, and anyone who dares to cross you, we won’t spare them!” Old Madam Jones took the lead to pledge.
Having said this, she did not forget to give a meaningful look to Will Jones and his wife who were standing beside her.
Will Jones took the hint and brought Amanda to White Mitchell, smiling brightly as he said, “Exactly, exactly, Mum is right. From now on, we will wholeheartedly treat you as a member of the Jones Family.
We were wrong before, and if there is a next time, you won’t have to move, I will slap myself twice first.”
Seeing this, Amanda also echoed, “Yes, yes, White. You see, we are all family. Those small misunderstandings and frictions in the past.
You, being magnanimous, should erase them all like chalk on a board. In the future, if you tell us to go east, we will absolutely not go west.”
Everyone in the Jones Family was speaking in shifts, all acting as if afraid that White Mitchell would not forgive them.
In their eyes, the current White Mitchell was the favored one in front of Myles. Otherwise, Myles would not let him come back to Sayon as a forerunner.
Unfortunately, they all failed to see this before.
However, it is not too late. As long as White Mitchell is willing to forgive the Jones Family, they can follow behind him, enjoying the best food and drinks.
Not to mention soaring to great heights, but at the very least they could help the Jones Family climb up another rung, secure a position amongst the upper crust, and that would be more than enough.
When envisioning the Jones Family becoming a first-line tycoon, the three were grinning from ear to ear.
Seeing the disgusting two-faced nature of the Jones Family, White Mitchell coolly said, “You want me to forgive you? Fine, kneel in front of my adoptive father’s grave for three days and nights, and sincerely repent your sins!
“If my adoptive father is willing to forgive you, then I will show you mercy!”
After leaving those words behind, White Mitchell took Sherry Jones and Wen Zhihui and left the cemetery.
Huh?…
The Jones family stood stunned in place, looking at each other in dismay.
“Mom, isn’t White Mitchell making things difficult for us? My uncle’s been dead for so long, it’s not like he can raise from the dead, he’s clearly playing us.” Amanda complained sullenly.
“Whether to kneel or not is not up to you now. Well, have you decided? Do you go there by yourself, or should I invite you there?” Kylin, who hadn’t left, spoke with an indifferent expression.
Kylin’s fists made a cracking sound. Hearing this, the expressions on the faces of everyone in the Jones Family was unavoidably stagnant.
Sigh…
Old Madam Jones sighed heavily, despondently realising that they had brought this on themselves.
Saying this, Old Madam Jones leaned on her cane, and slowly walked towards Logan Jones’ grave.
Amanda didn’t want to follow, but looking at Kylin’s ferocious expression, she was immediately stifled and obediently followed.
Seeing this, Kylin couldn’t resist reminding her, “Forgot to tell you, the place you will kneel at later, is exactly where Alan Austin and Grandy Anderson were beheaded.”
What?!
Everyone in the Jones Family, who heard these words, was instantly frightened out of their wits, Amanda even stumbled and fell on her rear.
“Yes, yes, yes. The place where you are sitting is exactly where Alan Austin’s head just fell. There might still be some blood that hasn’t been wiped up yet, enjoy it.” Kylin said with a mischievous grin and left.
The Jones Family left in the cemetery was already frightened out of their wits.
Amanda immediately jumped up, continuously patting her bottom, scared to the point of tears dropping.
“Oh, the karma! The karma!” Old Madam Jones lamented, leaning on her cane and crying without tears.
…
Sayon, the dock.
The head of the Cooper family, Maddox, was leading his family’s elite, on standby by the dock, eagerly awaiting someone’s arrival.
Finally, a luxurious yacht slowly docked.
Maddox’s eyes lit up. He was about to go and greet the newcomer, but a dozen or so shadows directly jumped off the yacht.
The members of the Cooper family were immediately scared, and Maddox rushed over to greet them, bent at the waist and trying his best to speak in a flattering tone: “Welcome, sir, to your return to Sayon!”
