Chapter 415 - SPARE HER MOTHER (1/2)
Kazuo became angry at his mother for insulting him in front of everyone.
”How am I an idiot for protecting my wife? If Dad did not protect you from all your stupid mistakes, do you think you could be so comfortable in your life?” He shouted back without regard for her.
”Do you still remember I am your mother? Do you even have the ability to protect your wife? Don't compare yourself to your father!” Sayaka yelled back.
The two people faced off angrily, and nobody was willing to relent. There was electricity in the air as they looked at each other. Chiharu was a little relieved that she was no longer at the centre stage. If they continued fighting, she would escape without trouble.
Akira looked at the relieved Chiharu, and her lips stretched into a smile. The woman was quite skilled in making Kazuo fight for her, even against his better judgement. It was obvious he wanted to know if she was cheating.
”So, do you want to know the information or not?” She asked them.
The two people looked at Akira and remembered the cause of their fight. They wanted to blame Akira, but they had already said a few bad things to each other. Now that the anger was already out, it could not be restrained.
As a result, Sayaka was more determined than ever to learn about Chiharu's secrets because Kazuo disrespected her.
”Do not be afraid of anyone, Akira. Speak openly.” She spoke after glaring at her son one more time.
Kazuo folded his arms over his ċhėst. ”Fine. You will see she is just slandering Chiharu because of her evil heart.”
He acted like he did not care, but a small part of him was anxious about the situation. Since Akira mentioned another man in Chiharu's life, he started thinking about the last couple of weeks. He had noticed some odd behaviour from his wife.
For instance, Chiharu insisted on going to work in her own car instead of going with him as usual. And in the evening, she would let him go home ahead of her, claiming that she had some additional work. Sometimes, she would go out with her friends without him.
He did not think it was wrong for her to be a little late or enjoy herself. But now that he thought about it, the behaviour change was sudden. He did not want to doubt her, but he could not bear the thought of being fooled.
So, even though he wanted to defend her, he also wanted to know the truth.
Chiharu looked at the defensive posture made by Kazuo and knew that she could not escape from being in the spotlight again. And if she did not accept the situation, Sayaka would doubt her even more. After all, she was the cause of the argument.
”Akira, you can say what you want to say about me. I know that you don't like me. But that is not a good reason to make up lies. Remember, the truth will always come to light.” She faced Akira.
”I am glad that sister-in-law understands that concept.” Akira nodded in appreciation. ”Do not worry. I will not use sophistry to convince people. Instead, I will use the most direct method.”
Within a few seconds, the phones in the room pinged. The people in the room took out their devices and looked at the new message. The facial expressions changed dramatically as they looked at the medical reports and the date stamps.
The first was the initial report about Chiharu's pregnancy, just before she joined the Yamazaki company. The other document was less than a year old and indicated that it would be difficult for Chiharu to conceive due to uterine damage.
