Too late!
Bang!
The last two words, with an overwhelmingly powerful momentum, instantaneously frightened Maddox until his legs were trembling.
For a split second, he felt like the young man sitting in front of him was a ruthless killer, radiating a terrifying presence from head to toe. Before Maddox could react, White Mitchell swiftly kicked him twice.
Hiss!
Suddenly, a heart-wrenching pain came from Maddox’s knee. His face instantaneously turned pale, and his entire face distorted with pain.
With a thud, Maddox’s legs failed him, and he knelt directly in front of White Mitchell.
At this moment, Maddox was as pitiful as a stray dog, kneeling in pain, and looking extremely downcast.
However, even though Maddox was in a pitiful state, no one at the scene showed any sympathy for him.
It could be said that he brought this upon himself.
Upon seeing this, the people of the Cooper family dare not step forward to help Maddox. Instead, quite a few of them knelt with Maddox before White Mitchell.
Immediately, more and more members of the Cooper family began to kneel.
Within a minute, all of the Cooper family were regretfully kneeling before White Mitchell.
The once high and mighty Cooper family collapsed in an instant.
As the saying goes, great heights are built and celebrated, but they can also collapse in an instant.
The brighter they once shone, the darker their current situation.
White Mitchell looked at the bowed heads of the Cooper family as if he did not see them. He silently turned his gaze towards Mori Jones.
What White Mitchell did today was to seek justice for Mori.
The Cooper family was already in decline, a single word from him could wipe them out in an instant,
But all of this depended on Mori’s decision.
“Mori, you decide how to deal with them.” White Mitchell said nonchalantly.
Mori slowly raised her head, looking at the Cooper family, tears of grievance streaming down her face.
In her heart, she held no attachment to the power of the Cooper family.
All along, she had been trying to maintain the peace, just to provide a home for her daughter, Chase Jones.
Now, Rhett’s actions had utterly disappointed Mori. She was crying for the injustice suffered by herself and her daughter over the years.
Seeing White Mitchell hand over the decision to Mori, Maddox immediately pleaded with her, “Daughter-in-law, if you forgive the Cooper family, I’ll immediately hold a wedding for you and Rhett.
I will also add the names of you and your daughter to our family tree.
If you forgive us, you will become the young miss of Cooper family!”
Faced with Maddox’s proposal, the previously sobbing Mori, instantly showed a look of disgust on her face.
Immediately, she resolutely said to Maddox, “I don’t care for the power of the Cooper family, now, are you still trying to humiliate me with these things?” What…?
Maddox was immediately left speechless by the rebuke, his old face sagged instantly, appearing extremely embarrassed.
Then, Mori took a deep breath, as if making a weighty decision, she slowly said, “From now on, you tread your own path, and I will walk mine!
I, Mori Jones, have nothing to do with you anymore!”
Whoosh!
After hearing this, Maddox’s face instantly turned as gray as ashes.
Then, Mori slowly looked at White Mitchell and said, “White, let’s go.”
In Mori’s view, White had wasted a favor for her. She didn’t want things to escalate to the point of endangering lives and causing more trouble for White.
Seeing this, White Mitchell didn’t say anything more. Instead, he slowly looked at Maddox and all the members of the Cooper family,”From today onward, if I hear a word against my cousin outside, I’ll be the first to hold you accountable!
When your family is destroyed, don’t blame me for not warning you in
advance.”
After saying this, White Mitchell picked up a teacup from the table and crushed it with his bare hand.
With a crack, the teacup instantly turned into dust. However, White Mitchell was not injured at all.
Seeing this scene, the people of the Cooper family couldn’t help but draw a breath of cold air, showing an expression of sheer terror.
Then White Mitchell directly left with Mori and her daughter. Along the way, everyone they passed avoided them as much as possible, afraid to get involved.
After White’s departure, David Herb and two others glanced at each other. Right away Longman pulled out the large curved knife tucked in his waist and banged it on the table in front of him.
Longman, who had a face full of muscles, habitually patted his bald head, and then said threateningly to the crowd, “Whoever dares to gossip about today’s matter, your life will be on the line! Do you all understand?”
Whoosh!
Seeing Longman draw his sword, everyone jumped in fright and instinctively nodded their heads, not daring to slack off.
Humph!
Seeing this, Longman retrieved his knife, then cheekily said to David Herb and
Amanda, “David, Amanda, see, the knife is more effective.’
Upon hearing this, David Herb and Amanda gave him an annoyed look, and then left without bothering him.
Longman pouted, looking rather disappointed, and quickly followed them.
The guests, seeing this, also hurriedly left. At this point, the Cooper family was like a hot potato to them. Whoever got close would suffer a bad luck.
As the saying goes, when the tree falls, the monkeys scatter!
Laughter turned into silence at the celebration that the Cooper family had originally prepared. They were now reduced to the status of a street rat.
Soon enough, all the guests had left. The direct descendants of the Cooper family quickly helped Maddox up and took him to the living room.
Early the next morning, the news of Mori and White Mitchell causing havoc at the birthday banquet and seriously harming Connor Cooper reached the Jones Family.
Upon hearing the news, Old Madam Jones nearly had a heart attack from anger.
After regaining her breath, she ordered immediately, “How outrageous! How outrageous!! Quickly! Immediately bring that ungrateful daughter, Mori, and that damn White Mitchell back here!
I will personally take them to apologize to Elder Cooper! Hurry!
Tell them, if they dare not show up today, I will sever all ties with her! I will even scatter Logan’s ashes into the River Arch to feed the fishes!!
