Chapter 322 - AN EVIL WITCH (2/2)

She had learnt her lesson and chose to follow Akira's cues.

”Akira, answer your aunt.” Grandma Yamazaki spoke up after realising that none of the people in the room had an intention of speaking.

Akira turned her cold eyes to the old woman.

She had already done her research on the Yamazaki grandmother, but she realised that the report had not taken into account her personality and behaviour.

”I did not hear a question,” Akira said directly.

Grandma Yamazaki felt angered because Akira did not treat her with the right attitude. She had grown accustomed to people flattering her and treating her like she was a national treasure wherever she went.

Of course, that honour was based on her husband's reputation.

Regardless of the cause, she had long gotten used to the reverence, as if it was her own. Therefore, she felt short-changed when Akira spoke to her coldly and without respect.

At the same time, Sayaka returned to the room.

”Sayaka, is this how you teach your children to respect their elders?” Grandma Yamazaki asked with a harsh tone.

The confused Sayaka did not know how to respond since she had not heard the conversation. However, for Akira, it was a simple question.

”She did not teach me. She met me five days ago.” She said in a deadpan manner.

Grandma Yamazaki felt like she could not breathe.

She had come to the house to ensure that the intruder was kicked out or at least, put in her place, but she was taken out within the first fight. How could she reconcile with that?

She was using logic instead of reacting emotionally to the situation. She had lived long enough with her husband to know that if she responded emotionally to a logical statement, she would seem unreasonable or worse, crazy.

”Akira, you should know how to respect your grandmother. How can you speak to your elders in that way?” Makiko realised that her mother was losing and decided to intervene.

”I don't know how to respect my elders, but I know that I cannot give in to bullies,” Akira responded.

Her soft voice had a squishy and lovable quality that no matter what she said, she sounded like a sweet little girl. She did not like it and always used a cold tone to compensate for it. However, at that moment, when she talked about bullies in her adorable voice, the room was moved.

They felt like a child was protecting them from an evil witch.

Even though no one talked about it clearly, everyone in the family knew that Makiko was a grade-A bully.

As a married woman, she was no longer a Yamazaki. Her official name had long been changed to Satou Makiko, but she constantly stuck her nose into their affairs without a care about their feelings.

Her dėsɨrė for controlling the Yamazaki family was unreasonable because she had a husband, a son and two daughters as well as in-laws to handle.
