King's Awakening

Chapter 436: Taking over the third branch? Not that easy!
Capital City, Yaj Garden.

After leaving the Jones Family, White Mitchell took Sherry Jones back to the hotel to pack their luggage, and then directly came to this residential complex located in the second ring of Capital City.

Originally, Andrea Jones had offered to arrange accommodations for them, but White Mitchell had politely declined.

Currently, the situation in Capital City was unstable and it was hard to discern Andrea Jones’ intentions. Living in the accommodations she arranged wouldn’t guarantee Sherry’s safety.

After all, White Mitchell returned to Capital City with many tasks to accomplish. He couldn’t possibly protect Sherry twenty-four hours a day.

Moreover, he needed to involve soldiers from the Northern Territory command in the protection work.

So, after giving it much thought, White Mitchell arranged for Sherry to stay at Yaj Garden.

On the surface, Yaj Garden appears to be an outdated residential complex. It resembles a traditional courtyard house structure.

However, only people from the War Department know that it’s actually a secret base for the department.

Many important figures from the War Department live there. On regular days, any strangers entering the residential complex would have to pass through the most rigorous identity check.

To place Sherry here was, undoubtedly, the most suitable arrangement.

However, in order not to make Sherry too worried, White Mitchell lied saying that the accommodations were arranged by Cooper.

This did not raise any suspicions from Sherry as she moved in with him without any doubts.

“Brother, I officially start work at the company under the third branch tomorrow. If you find yourself bored, maybe I can arrange a position within the company for you,” Sherry started.

For an executive position in security, White Mitchell would definitely be competent.

But, she was unsure if he’d reject her proposal due to the fear of inviting judgmental talk from others.

Facing Sherry’s sincere concerns, White Mitchell knew well her intentions, but he had more important tasks to fulfill.

After a moment of contemplation, White Mitchell affectionately rubbed Sherry’s head and said, “Don’t worry about me. Don’t arrange work for me either. I came to Capital City to handle some personal affairs. I am short on time.

Furthermore, if you, as the head of the family, appoint your own husband right upon taking office, others will undoubtedly gossip.

While I don’t mind the gossip, I won’t spare anyone who hurts you. I presume you wouldn’t want me picking fights with people from the third branch, right?”

Upon hearing this, Sherry couldn’t help but chuckle bitterly. She then squeezed out a strained smile, “Alright, it seems like I’ll be the one supporting you then. After all, I can make money now. You can just stay at home to cook.”

Upon hearing that, White Mitchell burst out laughing, “Then you’d better give birth to a couple of children for me to take care of. Otherwise, I won’t feel secure living off you.”

Upon hearing this, Sherry’s face instantly turned bright red. She playfully spat at White Mitchell and turned to leave the room.

But in the next moment, White Mitchell caught hold of her waist and lifted her up. With a thump, he closed the bedroom door.

As the night fell…

The next morning, Sherry woke up, attracted by the delicious scent that filled the room.

The energetic love-making session from the night before didn’t tire her, but instead made her feel rejuvenated. She looked more mature, having an aura of a woman.

After breakfast, Sherry left the house alone and headed towards the company under the third branch.

Of course, the phrase ‘alone’ was wishful thinking on her part. White Mitchell had already arranged for soldiers from the Northern Territory command to secretly protect her, ensuring that the members of the Deathz organization wouldn’t harm her.

After a half-hour journey, Sherry finally arrived at the base of the Ys Company that controlled all industries under the third branch.

Standing in front of Ys Company building, Sherry took a deep breath and decisively walked in.

Upon entering, welcoming streamers flew up on both sides of the lobby. At the end of the lobby, there was a towering nine-layer cake.

Clearly, the words that White Mitchell spoke at the Jones family the previous night had an effect.

These arrangements had been set up by ambitious, young people from the third branch who were trying to curry favor with Sherry. They indeed were giving Sherry considerable face.

The older members of the company, although somewhat displeased with these arrangements, dared not hinder them since they were prepared for Sherry, the head of the family.

White Mitchell had stated that he intended to promote a group of young people to replace some of the older ones in the company.

It was unclear who would be replaced. Therefore, during this critical junction, even the old timers put forth their best efforts to maintain appearances.

After getting acclimated to the company’s core management protocols, Sherry immediately plunged into work without hesitation. She did her best to get familiar with related tasks as quickly as possible, leading the third branch towards a new phase.

However, one key person was missing through this process. Jonah Jones, a member of the core of the third branch, was absent!

Jonah Jones was at the company today, having forcibly discharged himself from the hospital. However, he chose to stay in his own office, silently observing everything that was happening.

Watching the treatment that should have been his, Jonah Jones was so furious he could flip tables. However, for the sake of the bigger picture, he begrudgingly held back.

“Take these reports to Sherry and ask her to give me a response within today,” Jonah Jones instructed his secretary.

The secretary hesitated as she took the documents from Jonah. This didn’t escape Jonah’s eyes and he was instantly filled with rage. Even his own secretary was having doubts about his orders because of Sherry?

Thinking this, Jonah couldn’t hold back his anger and shouted, “Are you revolting against me? How dare you disrespect me while I’m still in the company? I can fire you right now, make you disappear forever!”

Hearing this, the secretary didn’t dare to object. She immediately apologized to Jonah and took the reports to Sherry’s office.

Watching his secretary walk away, Jonah, sitting in his wheelchair, clenched his fists. His face twisted in anger: “Fuck! Sherry, you bitch! How dare you act high and mighty over me!

When I was busting my ass for the third branch, you were nowhere to be seen!

Wait and see, it won’t be that easy for you to take over the third branch!”
