Chapter 478: Chapter 478: The Mitchell Family’s Invitation!

Capital City, YGarden Residence!

Recently, White Mitchell had been busy handling affairs related to the Deathz organization and various major families, spending less time with Sherry Jones.

However, Sherry didn’t blame White. Instead, she tried as much as possible not to disturb him, even when she ran into trouble at work, she didn’t mention it to him.

She didn’t want to be a burden to White. She’d come to Capital City to protect him.

But recent events in Capital City and White’s frequent absences hinted to Sherry about his hidden identity.

Sherry was no fool. She knew White was hiding something from her.

But she also believed that White had his reasons for not disclosing it. Therefore, Sherry didn’t question him, but waited for him to tell her voluntarily.

This situation continued until the invitation to the Mitchell Family’s annual meeting appeared.

Driven by curiosity, Sherry opened the invitation. The name written there was “Sebastian Mitchell!”

Although she hadn’t heard this name before, she had heard a lot about the Mitchells of Capital City. The emblem on the invitation was the Mitchells’ symbol, which nobody in Capital City dared to fake.

“Who is Sebastian Mitchell? Could it be White’s old name?! Is he from the Mitchell family?!” Once this thought sprouted, it quickly grew out of control.

Looking at the invitation in front of her, Sherry couldn’t calm herself down for a long time.

She had suspicions about White’s identity but she hadn’t expected that White would be part of the renowned Mitchell family in Capital City.

The Mitchells of Capital City were a prominent family among the Hundred Year Noble Families, much more influential than the Jones family in Capital City.

It wasn’t an exaggeration to say that in front of the Mitchells of Capital City, the Jones family was a minor character, they could hardly compete with them.

White had such an impressive identity, why had he always hidden it?

As far as Sherry remembered, White had never revealed any connection to the Mitchell’s of Capital City. Even when she’d asked him about his family as a child, he didn’t mention them, only saying his name was White.

At this point, Sherry was reminiscing about the day she first met White.

It was eighteen years ago, she’d been nine years old, a year younger than White.

That year, she’d followed her father, Logan Jones, to represent the Jones family from Sayon in the family annual meeting at the Imperial Capital.

After the meeting, they were planning to return to their hotel.

But on a quiet street, a bloody figure blocked their way.

Being young then, she had hidden behind her father, nervously watching the bloody figure.

Closer inspection revealed that the figure was a child, just like her.

She wondered what the child had been through and why he was covered in blood. Who could have harmed a child?

Out of compassion or otherwise, she wasn’t scared and even reached out and gave the dying child her last lollipop.

That child was none other than White.

Later, her father had taken White to the hospital. After emergency treatment, his life was saved.

But White seemed to have lost his memory and refused to talk about his parents or his identity.

Without any knowledge of his identity, they couldn’t find his family.

Considering sending him to an orphanage, she pleaded with her father to take him in, pulling at his heartstrings.

Having always wanted a son, her mother agreed.

Her mother hadn’t been able to have any more children after giving birth to her.

Through these coincidences, her father decided to adopt this little boy and raise him.

The young boy exhibited a surprising talent. When kids his age were studying elementary school, he was learning the junior high curriculum, and by the time they were learning junior high, he’d already finished high school.

Eventually, he graduated college three years earlier and began working in the business world.

In business, he was a legend, and in just a few years, he established a company that was on the verge of going public: the Imperial Group!

Upon this realization, Sherry finally understood why White named his company Imperial Group all those years ago.

She remembered asking him why he’d named it so, and he had ambiguously replied, “I just want to prove to some people that I can make it even without them.”

She had been upset that he hadn’t told her the truth.

But now, it was clear that he’d already given her the answer.

White had struggled hard and worked relentlessly to prove to the people of the Mitchells family of Capital City that he could succeed without them.

He’d likely carried this resolve since he was ten years old.

He was forced into the extraordinary person he is now.

At this thought, Sherry’s eyes filled with tears.

Before now, she couldn’t have known the burden White carried and how he’d managed to shoulder it all these years.

Compared to him, her life was blissfully happy.

Tears rolled down Sherry’s cheeks and fell onto the invitation.

Just then, the door slowly opened and White Mitchell entered, a smile on his face.

Huh?!

Seeing Sherry’s tear-streaked face, White was taken aback. Before he could say anything, Sherry rushed into his arms and held on tightly.

“Why didn’t you tell me? Why hide it from me? I could’ve faced it with you. Why are you so foolish? Why…?” Sherry sobbed uncontrollably.

White was taken by surprise until he saw the invitation on the couch. He understood everything.

Although he couldn’t see the contents of the invitation, he knew the emblem of the Mitchells of Capital City all too well.

“You… You already knew?” White asked cautiously, his voice shaking.

Sherry nodded and looked gravely at White. “The Mitchells invited you to their family annual meeting. I’ll go with you!”
