Chapter 374 - EXPEL AKIRA (2/2)
”We have always been fair and lenient with all the children from our clan. However, from now on, we will not be accepting every Tom, Dick and Harry into the fold just because they have a little Yamazaki blood. You must prove your worth and character.”
There was a long moment of silence, and the relatives looked at Akira, who was at the centre, with hostility. Compared with other wealthy families, the Yamazaki family did not oppress distant relatives. They kept a record and tried to provide each promising member with a way of survival.
Moreover, as long as a member of the family was excellent, their opportunities would be great because they would have support from the Old Master. If this special support stopped because of Akira, no one in the clan would forgive her.
”As for this person who claims to be a direct member of the main family, I hereby announce that she is expelled from the Yamazaki clan.” She turned to Akira with vicious eyes. ”You will not use a single coin of the Yamazaki family money or benefit from our connections.”
Everyone was shocked by the unprecedented event. Then, someone started clapping at the announcement. Akira was responsible for making their future lives difficult. The expulsion was a simple punishment.
Most of them were already plotting their revenge. As long as Akira did not have protection from the Yamazaki family, dealing with her would be a piece of cake.
”Mother! How can you do this?” Daiki and Sayaka stepped forward to shield Akira.
Akira shook her head to prevent them from speaking further and looked at the old woman evenly. ”Oh, don't worry. I am not interested.”
”Impudent! Even though you have the Yamazaki blood, your character is questionable. You do not respect your elders, and you have an evil heart.”
There was more clapping.
”How am I impudent? I am agreeing with you. You don't want me to use your things. And I don't want to use your things.” Akira responded.
The woman sputtered angrily.
She had been incited by Makiko to expel Akira from the family after they confirmed through a DNA test that the jinx was not a fraud. As for how they did it, they had the butler collect hair samples from Akira's room while she was away.
After a lot of whispering about how Akira would end the family, Makiko convinced her mother to hold this rushed occasion to expel Akira and cut off her livelihood.
”Insolence!” The old woman shouted.
She started breathing heavily as if she was about to have some sort of respiratory attack. Everyone felt afraid at this occurrence. If something happened to the Old Madam, no one would be able to explain it later.
”Mother!” Makiko shouted. ”Wretched girl, look at what you have done. If anything happens to my mother, I will hold you accountable.”
She supported the old woman like she was a loving daughter.
”What is happening here?” The authoritative voice of the Old Master filled the courtyard.
