Chapter 357 - EMOTIONAL BLACKMAIL (1/2)
In the old Yamazaki home, the Old Madam banged her phone on the table with anger as she sat down. The living room was quiet and tense. No one wanted to speak in fear of irritating her further.
The worst part was that Elder Yamazaki was not at home. He had gone to attend a calligraphy symposium with his student outside of Mountain Ridge.
And when he was away, no one could keep a hold on his wife. The only person who could influence her was her daughter Makiko. But Makiko was always happier when her mother was angry and fighting with her brothers.
”Is this the person you insist on calling your daughter?” The old woman shouted.
”Mom, what are you talking about? What happened? And can you tell us why you think Akira is colluding with outsiders?” Daiki asked.
He tried to remain calm because he was dealing with his mother. However, he was getting impatient. He had already told his mother that Akira had gone out. However, she insisted on waiting for Akira to come to the house before revealing her cards.
”Do you take me as your mother? Of course, you don't. If you did, you would not have brought that jinx into the family.” The Old Madam hit the table.
”Mother, what could Akira have possibly done? You have never met her, yet you have all these accusations.” Sayaka was always polite with her mother-in-law, but her temper had become bad after listening to the woman disparaging her daughter.
”You are not going to admit your wrongdoings until the final moment.” The grandma scoffed. ”Makiko, show them.”
Makiko was sitting at the side, watching the drama unfold with happiness in her eyes. She took out her phone and tapped on it before giving it to Daiki.
In the beginning, she intended to hold on to the photo of Akira and Kaito for a few weeks. However, since Akira decided to embarrass her, she could not sit still. If she did, the anger in her belly would consume her.
She looked at her brother's face becoming dark. When Sayaka leaned over to look at the photo, her face lost colour.
”That is the good daughter you insisted on bringing home.” She said with superiority.
However, Sayaka and Daiki were not thinking about complicated things. The image of an evil pig kidnapping their white cabbage filled their minds. The photo proved that the Takahashi boy had long taken action to get a hold of Akira.
They could not help their anger.
”I told you. Next time, you should believe in my instincts.” Sayaka looked at Daiki with some scorn.
”Is this the time for you to be boasting? We must settle scores with this boy.” Daiki lost his composure, especially when he thought about Akira going on a date for the whole day.
The Old Madam realised that the two of them were not as shocked as she had hoped. She thought that once they saw the photo, they would understand the situation. But they were not blaming the wicked girl.
”Are you so blinded? Not only is she behaving shamelessly in broad daylight, but she also beat up people in the house. How can this be a daughter of the Yamazaki family?” She asked angrily.
”Mother, it is normal for girls to have personal relationships. Akira has done nothing wrong.” Sayaka responded.
Even though the picture was incriminating, it was not indecent.
”Mom, what do you mean by Akira beat people up? Did someone attack Akira?” Daiki focussed on that critical detail.
”I merely asked the butler to invite her to the house since you are incapable of handling such a small matter on your own. Who knew that the wild child would beat up people before leaving?” The grandma was irked.
Her family had always been peaceful. But as soon as that wild girl had returned, everything seemed to be in a complete mess. How could they not see that she was a jinx? They wanted to drive her to the grave.
