Chapter 494 - HELLO, MOTHER (1/2)
Taiki returned to the vehicle with a security guard behind him. Even though he was doing a menial task, the man still looked calm and elegant. Akira turned to the unfamiliar guard beside him and looked at him with narrowed eyes.
”Young Miss, I apologise for the inconvenience. We will clear the gate as soon as possible.” The man spoke with clear and firm resolve.
His courteous attitude was impeccable as he faced the infamous Yamazaki Akira. He and his fellow guards were informed by the boss about the return of his mysterious daughter. Yamazaki Daiki had made it clear that his daughter was his priority.
The attitude of the boss confused them, but they were his subordinates. They could not question the man's affection for his daughter. Their doubts came from what they had heard from the rumour mill. Even though the information online was wiped, the people of Mountain Ridge loved talking.
Of course, the rumours about her were spoken in hushed whispers around Mountain Ridge. Perhaps, locals were afraid of Daiki's wrath. But it was inevitable for the new guards to have heard about her. They did not know the truth in the stories, but they knew that the people of Mountain Ridge treated Akira like a pariah.
According to the grapevine, she was a vicious girl who had broken up her parents' marriage and taken action against her relatives. The sins laid upon her were countless, including breaking two other marriages.
Rumour had it that it was her fault that her paternal aunt and her eldest brother ended up divorced. Moreover, everyone knew it was her fault that her maternal aunt and cousin were sent to court some months back.
However, the guards did not dare to be negligent when dealing with this daughter with a bad reputation. They already knew that their boss, Yamazaki Daiki, treasured the girl like she was a priceless jewel.
Regardless of what the world said, they would follow their employer's dėsɨrės and opinions.
”Who is it blocking the gate?” Akira asked.
The guard displayed an awkward expression. He was not willing to reveal the truth if he could help it. He did not want to displease the rumoured demon girl. Unfortunately for him, he had already spilt the beans to Taiki in explanation.
”It is your mother. It seems your father barred her from entry, but she has refused to leave.” Taiki spoke up.
Akira smiled while her eyes concealed her emotions. ”Let her in.”
The guard was startled. ”Young Miss, the Master…”
”If I said that you can let her in, then you can let her in. Or don't you recognise me as someone with authority?” Akira asked with annoyance.
In the last few days, she had been feeling a little irritable. Therefore, when faced with someone who was questioning her, she became even moodier.
”Of course not, Young Miss.” The guard was horrified by the cold tone. ”We will let her in.”
He rushed off while Taiki stepped into the vehicle. He glanced at Akira. He could see that she was rearing for a fight with someone. If he was someone who was easily moved by emotions, he might have gotten angry in the past few days.
”If something is bothering you, you should talk to Kaito. Keeping in your feelings and trying to be mȧturė will only make you angrier.” He said. ”You are still young. You have the right to have a temper even when it seems unreasonable.”
