King's Awakening

Sayon, Jones Family!

After Snowden Jones received her wedding dress, she promptly brought Jacob Bright back to the Jones Family mansion to flaunt her new acquisition.

Once home, Snowden unveiled the diamond studded wedding dress.

“Grandmother, father, mother, do you think this wedding dress looks good?” Snowden asked, holding up the dress and sizing it against her figure.

Old Madam Jones and her two companions were captivated by the sight of the extravagant wedding gown.

The wedding dress was clearly expensive, and they were surprised by Jacob’s willingness to spend so much on Snowden.

“Snowden, hurry up and try it on for us to see. Let me take a few pictures and post them on social media for everyone to envy,” began Amanda, “Last time, your aunt splurged on a wedding dress worth 300,000 for her daughter’s wedding and boasted about it in front of me.

This time, I’m going to show her what a real wedding dress looks like.

Compared to this dress, the one her daughter wore looks like trash.” Amanda said excitedly.

Snowden responded gently, a trace of embarrassment on her face, “I can’t fit into it just yet. I’ll try it on after losing a bit more weight in a few weeks.”

Amanda looked at the waistline of the wedding dress, then at her daughter’s waist. It was clear that her daughter had more than one excess roll of fat.

It wasn’t because Snowden didn’t have a good figure. It was just that the dress required an extraordinary standard for the wearer.

It required a certain bust size and waist size. Only those with a perfect figure could wear it.

However, Amanda didn’t say these words, her face showed no disappointment. Instead, she continued, “Never mind that. Hold the dress up so I can take a few pictures and post them on social media.”

Saying this, Amanda couldn’t wait to pull out her phone and took dozens of photos in quick succession.

She found it hard to stop, and if not for Old Madam Jones intervening, she likely would have continued taking pictures.

At this time, Old Madam Jones was increasingly pleased seeing Jacob’s generosity towards Snowden.

This further solidified her decision to transfer Sherry’s shares to Snowden.

After all, with Jacob caring so much about Snowden, it was highly likely that he would also care for the Jones Family.

As long as the Jones Family could closely bind itself with the Bright Family, a rise in their status was expected in no time!

Thinking about this, Old Madam Jones couldn’t help but express her gratitude to Jacob: “Jacob, you are really considerate. Seeing the love between you and Snowden is truly comforting.

From the moment I met you, I knew you had great prospects. I believe that you will surely help the Bright family reach new heights.

Concerning the invitation issue, we are counting on you. On behalf of the Jones Family, I would like to thank you in advance.”

Upon hearing these words, Jacob responded proudly, “This is nothing. Please leave it to me.”

Listening to this, Snowden too couldn’t help but show off her soon-to-be husband: “You are right, Grandmother. Jacob is capable of anything.

You should have seen the scene at the dress shop today, as soon as they saw Jacob, the shop assistants were busy trying to please him.

In spite of it all, the only downside was running into that wretched Sherry and White Mitchell.”

Oh?

Old Madam Jones was surprised. Following this, Snowden recounted the events of the day, adding her own dramatic embellishments.

Amanda, after hearing the story, scoffed: “Heh, I didn’t expect that White Mitchell bastard to be so thick-skinned. Does he actually think he can stay despite being unwanted?

If I were him, I would bury myself in a hole, avoid losing face in public.”

Mori Jones agreed, “Given their pathetic demeanor, if they’re not using company money, what type of wedding dress could they buy? They are just humiliating themselves.

I guess, they must have been green with envy when they saw your wedding dress, haha…”

“Absolutely…” Snowden nodded, relishing in her victory, continuing, “The two of them should take a look at themselves. Can they even compare to Jacob?

One single diamond from this wedding dress Jacob bought for me is worth enough to feed them for half a year.

Henceforth, once Sherry loses her shares, they will become nothing. Any single one of Jacob’s fingers is enough to squash them!”

Jacob listened with an increasingly smug look on his face, as though he really was the one who had bought the dress.

However, just as the Jones Family started to celebrate, the TV, which had been tuned to a variety show, suddenly switched to a news broadcast.

[Hello viewers, we have an urgent news report. Two hours ago, the Royal Group, based in our city, reported a loss of a wedding dress composed with nine hundred and ninety-nine diamonds.

Suspected theft has taken place. The wedding dress is worth thirty-two million, and this case involves a high amount of money. The situation is grave.

The Royal Group will offer a huge reward to whoever provides clues. We welcome everyone to provide clues. This is the end of the broadcast.]

Afterward, the news station continued to repeat the report, also showing a picture of the diamond wedding dress.

The moment everyone saw the picture, the expressions of the Jones Family and Jacob froze.

A strange silence filled the air in the Jones household.

Time seemed to stop, even the sound of breathing vanished.

The only thing that could be heard in the Jones’ house was the nervous beating of everyone’s hearts.

Whoosh!

After several seconds, the quiet inside the Jones Family house was broken by a wave of astonishment.

Everyone present wore utterly shocked expressions.

The wedding dress shown on the TV looked so familiar.

Wasn’t that the diamond wedding dress Snowden was just showing off?

How did it turn into a stolen wedding dress of the Royal Group?

A decent wedding dress is now a stolen item. Connected to the Royal Group, isn’t this just a death sentence?

If the Royal Group discovered that the dress was in the possession of Snowden, wouldn’t they view them as the thieves?

Hiss!

The members of the Jones Family gasped, a deeply chilling sensation hit them as they became aware of the gravity of the situation.

What should they do?

Should they wait for The Patrol to show up?

It’s all over…

The Jones Family was overwhelmed. The diamond wedding dress, originally an object of pride, had suddenly transformed into a hot potato. It was suffocating just to look at it, let alone hold it!
