Chapter 129: Take your things and get out immediately!
She wasn’t moved by Rhett’s ‘sincerity’, but rather, felt immeasurable disappointment towards her own mother.
And Old Madam Jones, upon seeing Mori unmoved, was suddenly filled with panic.
The Cooper family had come to apologize with profound sincerity. In Rhett’s hands was an antique wooden box, holding a pair of jade bracelets that were worth at least a few million based on their appearance.
Such sincerity, seeking forgiveness from a third-rate wealthy family like theirs, was more than enough to bring great honor to the Jones family.
Furthermore, Rhett was currently on his knees in an act of submission.
If Mori refused to forgive at this very moment, the Coopers might turn their humiliation into rage, and the Joneses would certainly pay a hefty price.
However, at this point, Mori’s attitude was crucial. If she insisted on not forgiving Rhett, not even forcing her would work.
Thinking of this, Old Madam Jones’s mood softened considerably, and her tone was no longer as stern.
With patience and sincerity, she advised, “Mori, stop being stubborn. Go back and live a good life with Rhett, that is most important.
Think about all the grievances you’ve endured over the years, are you really willing to let people continue to mock you for the rest of your life?
Even if you don’t think for yourself, think for Chase. Chase is still young, do you really want people to call her the daughter of the mistress all her life?”
As she spoke, Old Madam Jones gestured to Amanda to help persuade Mori too.
Amanda begrudgingly spoke, “Exactly, little sister-in-law, our mother is right. What do we women live for anyway?
Isn’t it for a stable life, a harmonious family, and obedient children? Given Rhett’s status, it’s enough that he’s gone to this extent, even if he has done wrong before.
What are you still hesitating for? Hurry up and help Rhett up. Stop being petty. If you miss this opportunity, you won’t find another like it.”
Hearing this, Mori gripped the edges of her clothes tightly. Her entire body was shaking, and her eyes were filled with misty tears.
At this moment, a voice from White Mitchell rang out again: “Little aunt, destiny is always in our own hands. If you don’t want to, nobody can force you today.”
“White Mitchell! Can you shut up!? Are you really satisfied only when you have completely ruined the Jones family!?” Old Madam Jones bellowed, banging her cane in fury.
But White Mitchell maintained a calm and undisturbed demeanor, as if Old Madam Jones’s words were nothing more than an insignificant fart.
This only infuriated Old Madam Jones further. At this point, the stubborn Mori slowly got up.
Upon seeing this, Old Madam Jones immediately softened her temper, looked at her expectantly, and said in a flattering tone: “Mori dear, be a good girl and listen to your mother. Your mother would never harm you.”
Mori did not answer her, but instead walked straight to Rhett. The corners of her eyes shimmered with tear drops.
“Mori, forgive me, please?” Rhett pleaded earnestly.
But the Mori at this moment, in the face of Rhett’s begging, turned a blind eye, and her beautiful face even showed an extremely cold look.
As if the person kneeling in front of her was just a stranger.
“Just leave! I made myself clear last night. I don’t want to see you again. Please stop disturbing my life. Do you understand?” Mori said coldly.
Upon hearing Mori’s words, the entire Jones family once again fell into an ominous silence.
Old Madam Jones stared at Mori in shock, as if she had seen something incredibly unbelievable. When had her daughter become so rebellious? She wouldn’t even listen to her own words?
Amanda and her son also wore a dumbfounded expression. They had been worried that if Mori really married into the Cooper family, their position within the Jones family might be threatened.
But, unexpectedly, Mori had outrightly refused Rhett. Was she out of her mind?
It was such a golden opportunity, one they had fought for over many years. It seemed like she was just on the cusp of becoming the leading lady of the Coopers.
But Mori chose to reject him now?
Amanda and her daughter were convinced that Mori was either crazy or ill. How else could she make such a decision?
After a moment of stunned silence, Old Madam Jones regained her senses, flew into a rage, and raised her hand to slap Mori.
But Mori didn’t seem scared at all. Instead, she felt a sense of relief.
She looked at Old Madam Jones with a placid face, her voice filled with resolve, “Mom, even if you beat me to death today, I will not change my decision!
I have no connection with the Cooper family now, nor will I have any in the future, no one can stop me from making this decision!”
“You!” Old Madam Jones was so enraged that her whole body shivered, almost unable to speak.
“Son-in-law, in-laws, I’m sincerely sorry. Mori was just confused for a moment, you all please wait, I will surely persuade her, and give you a satisfying response.” Old Madam Jones quickly turned around to soothe the mood of the Coopers.
But at this moment, White Mitchell’s voice resonated once more, disregarding Old Madam Jones and speaking directly to the Coopers, “Didn’t you hear what my young aunt said? Get lost immediately!”
The Coopers trembled, growing timid one after another.
It was clear that they had sensed the dissatisfaction in White Mitchell’s tone, understanding fully that if they stayed longer, they would only provoke him further.
“Yes… we’re leaving right now, leaving immediately. Please calm down, calm down…”
Maddox, with his head bowing like a pecking chicken, quickly lifted Rhett up, body bent over as he stepped backwards, his expression filled with reverence.
Whoosh!
Seeing the Cooper family leaving, Old Madam Jones panicked.
“In-laws, don’t leave, don’t leave us! We will surely……” Old Madam Jones hastily tried to keep them.
But by this time, the Coopers were already terrified by White Mitchell, where would they dare to delay for even a moment?
“All of you!?”
Old Madam Jones seeing that her attempts to stop them were of no avail, was stunned. Then, a wave of fury surged within her heart.
“White! Mitchell!!!”
Furious and disappointed, Old Madam Jones sharply turned around, yelling out White Mitchell’s name menacingly, her face projecting a rage so intense she wished she could grind his bones to dust.
In her view, the reason the Coopers had fled was because of White Mitchell’s threats. Without White Mitchell’s interference, the Jones family would have managed to retain the Coopers’ goodwill, allowing them to elevate their status further.
But now, it was all ruined, all because of White Mitchell’s single comment— a complete disaster!
At this thought, Old Madam Jones’ eyes glinted with a predatory light, “Our Jones family raised you for over a decade! In the end, not only did you cause the death of my son, but you also ruined my daughter’s happiness!
You troublemaker! What on earth do you want to do! ? Are you actually trying to destroy our Jones family?!
I, an old woman, beg you, if you have the guts, just kill me directly! Why are you hurting our Jones family so much? Get out, get out now!!!”
Old Madam Jones was furious, making it clear she wanted to kick White Mitchell out of the house.
“Mom, this matter has nothing to do with White, it’s my own decision!” Mori Jones defended White Mitchell.
“Shut up! You, rebellious girl!!!”
Seeing Mori defending White Mitchell, Old Madam Jones was even more irate, thunderously reprimanding, “It’s all because you have been too close to that brat!
You’ve been corrupted by him, oh how I regret! I should have never agreed to let Logan bring him home all those years ago! He should have died alone out there!”
Upon hearing these words, Mori appeared somewhat guilty, her self-blaming gaze shifting to White Mitchell.
But at this time, White Mitchell’s face remained as calm as an ancient well, seemingly unaffected at all.
In stark contrast was Sherry Jones, who had been standing beside him the entire time.
Hearing Old Madam Jones’s words, she immediately furrowed her brows and argued, “My brother has done nothing wrong! Why are you all badmouthing him?
Mori has suffered so much from the Coopers all these years, it was high time she cut ties with them. If it wasn’t for the Jones family, would she have suffered so much?
Now that Mori has finally got her freedom, not only are you not happy for her, but you are also blaming her, even blaming my brother. Grandma, are you really saying that our Jones family can only survive by selling our daughter’s happiness!?”
Sherry’s words were piercing, offering no face-saving for Old Madam Jones.
Upon hearing her words, Old Madam Jones started to hyperventilate, a burning sensation rushing to her cheeks, as if she had been slapped several times.
“Rebellious girl! You, rebellious girl! Do you think nobody can discipline you since your father is dead? Today, I will represent your father and discipline a rebellious girl like you!!!” Old Madam Jones raised her cane, smashing it down on Sherry heavily.
