Fatal Doting on Honey Wife - C295
Nangong An’s eyes flashed with a complex light. He said in a deep voice, “It is very strange, but I seem to have seen some signs of it!”
“What is it?” Allley started.
“Maybe you’ll know when he comes!” The corner of Nangong An’s lips slightly raised. He finally could not hold it in and made his move against the Lei Clan. It would be too much of a waste to just use such a method.
“Him?” Aulis looked at Nangong An and said with a puzzled expression.
When he stood up and stretched and looked at Cunningham’s bulging belly, he seemed to understand why he didn’t know anything. It was because Claude didn’t want to make Cunningham think too much. Thus, doing a favor, Nangong An smiled and said, “It’s nothing, just rest well at home!”
“Hey, Nangong An, did you know something?” Riley shouted a few words at Nangong An and the retreating figure.
Don’t know so much. Hurry up and go home!” Nangong An said as he walked out. Right now, he was going to take a look at the first farce of the Lei Clan. Although the real master behind this farce was a bit despicable, he was still too brilliant. This was the so-called ‘borrowing a knife to kill someone’, and he did not show his face, but had manipulated a chess piece to stir up a huge wave in the high and mighty Lei Clan.
This was where the entire clan met. At this moment, the light from the crystal lamp on the roof shone directly on the rectangular table in the middle of the hall. The black glass table reflected the dozen or so strict faces on both sides of the table.
As Charcas sat in the master’s seat, looking at the pale and panicky Fiona in the corner, he suddenly wanted to laugh out loud. However, seeing that the people sitting on either side of him were all highly respected elders of the clan, he had to put on a solemn face.
Fiona kept her head down. She could feel the reproach in the eyes of her elders, and it pressed her head down, but when she shifted her eyes a little, she saw Charles’s half-smile, and her eyes were suddenly replaced by hatred. This was because she knew that the damnable Charles definitely wanted to force her to death. He had actually gathered all of her uncles and uncles to drive her out of the Leo family.
Charles cleared his throat, revealing a sorrowful expression. He looked at the elders on both sides of the table and said, “All of you uncles, do you know the severity of father’s illness?”
The crowd held their breaths as they looked at Charles, because there was no doubt that Charles was about to take over the position of Figo Rao. No one in the family had any meaning, because Charles’ ability to do things was obvious, and he had the backing of the Kris family behind him.
Charles was very pleased with the silence. He spoke once again in grief, “I didn’t think it was good to talk about this at this time, but my father is sick from this incident. I have no choice but to discuss it with my uncles.”
It was obvious that the spearhead was directed at Fiona who was standing in the corner. Fiona’s face turned pale, she bit her lip, because she knew what would happen next.
“Charles, tell me straight, are you anxious for us to come here today because of Fiona?” A middle-aged man suddenly said.
“Indeed, this is the reason!” Charles replied helplessly.
The situation immediately turned into an uproar because of Charles’ confirmation. After a series of whispers, the middle-aged man who had spoken up once more, “We originally tolerated Fiona to do something unconventional and humiliating to our clan because of Fango’s illness. But now Fango has sent a notice of illness from the doctor. We can’t tolerate it any longer!”
“Then what kind of decision do you want to make?” Charles pressed his long, sleeved fingers to his chin, stroking the sapphire ring on his index finger as he raised his eyebrows and looked at Fiona in the corner who had not defended him from beginning to end. The way Fiona looked so useless, Charles was almost bursting with joy.
“If she does something that would humiliate her family, she should leave the clan!” Someone cursed loudly. Hearing this, Fiona’s hands began to tremble, and she could only close her eyes and listen. Now that she was in his hands, she couldn’t explain her grievances even if she had a hundred mouths, but she definitely wouldn’t let him off so easily.
Charles laughed without restraint. He looked at Fiona and said, “Fiona, you are my sister, but I can’t help you with that kind of thing!”
“Stop crying your eyes out there and pretend to be merciful. Even if I die, I will become a ghost and not let you off so easily!” Fiona snapped as she looked up into Charles’s owl-sharp eyes.
“Fiona, you still don’t know how to repent. How dare you say such vicious words!” When the elders of the clan heard that Fiona was calling out to Charles, they were shocked. The person who should have admitted his wrongs had actually spoken to his brother so arrogantly and arrogantly.
Fiona was instantly discouraged. She suddenly understood that if she had once jumped into Charles’s trap, he had purposely angered her so that she could do something disrespectful in front of her elders. This was truly despicable.
“Fiona, I don’t want to argue with you. As for whether you want to stay or not, that’s up to the elders!” Charles looked at his sister sympathetically. Although his words were humble, he was looking at Fiona with such malice in his eyes. As long as it was someone who stopped him from inheriting the Lei Clan’s legacy, he definitely wouldn’t let her have a chance to live.
Putting away his wandering thoughts, Charles stood up and nodded to the elders on both sides of him, “Please show your gratitude, uncles and uncles. Of course, Fiona is my sister, and I, as her younger brother, still hope that you’ll have a chance to get rid of her. After all, she didn’t intentionally anger her father, which led to his current illness!”
“We can’t tolerate someone so vile staying in the Leo family!” Someone bellowed.
“Those who have expelled Fiona, please raise your hands and express your stance!” Charles gave an imperceptible smile to the elders of the family.
Almost all of them were in favour of expelling Fiona from the family. Charles was very satisfied with the result. He walked up to Fiona and said, “Sister, I’m sorry. I can’t help you. Look at the elders in the family, they hope you can leave our family!”
“Enough is enough …”
Fiona gritted her teeth as she looked at Charles’ cold face. She suddenly raised her hand towards Charles, but before her hand could touch Charles’s face, Charles held Fiona’s hand and said, “Sister, why do you want to hit me? It’s not like I’m the one who wants to kick you out of the family, it’s your fault for missing out. Look at our father, he’s still unconscious. Don’t you feel guilty?”
“You have no heart to repent. Fiona, get out of our family. We don’t welcome you!” Among the elders of the family, the one who was on good terms with Charles immediately followed suit and shouted at the top of his lungs.
“Charles, you have gone too far. You will definitely regret it!” Fiona stood up, shaking off Charles’s hand.
“I don’t know whether you’ll regret it or not, but at this moment, you should be regretting your actions of provoking me!” Charles smirked coldly, his face as terrifying as a vampire’s in the light from the crystal lamp on the roof.
“Let me see how long you can be proud of this!” Fiona slapped Charles’s face with her hand and sneered.
Charles did not bother with Fiona because he felt that Fiona was at the end of her tether and did not pose any threat to him. He turned around and walked to his seat, looking at the angry members of the family below him, “The result is out, you all approve of expelling Fiona from the family. Although I’m sad that our family has one less member, I have no choice but to respect your decision!”
“I don’t agree with such a decision!” The door was suddenly pushed open with a ‘kacha’ sound. Everyone was stunned, especially Charles. He stood at the head of the table and took a closer look. It turned out that Logue had brought Claude and Uncle Mou with him as they hurried in.
Logue nodded to the seniors and heads of the family, then went up to Charles and asked in a low voice, “Do you have to kill them all like this?”
“I have no other choice, this decision is made by the elders!” Charles shook his head innocently.
Roger lowered his gaze and asked, “What right do you have to sit in your father’s seat and hold such a meeting?”
“Logue, do you know what you’re saying?” When Charles heard Roger’s words, two dangerous glints flashed in his eyes. He had always been disdainful towards the Leo family, which was why he had never considered Logue an opponent. So what was Roger trying to do now? Did he want to compete with him?
Roger turned to look at his elders, and after looking at Fiona who was not far away, he said loudly, “Charles is not the patriarch. He has no authority to preside over such a meeting, so such an outcome cannot be taken seriously!”
“Yes, in the family meeting of the Laio Family, only the clan leader is allowed to resolve the matter. The decision taken at the meeting should also be announced by the clan leader. Therefore, the result today should be annulled!” Claude followed Roger and said loudly.
“Logue, it’s enough. It’s not like you didn’t see your father fall sick because of Fiona. It’s impossible for your father to take charge of the family meeting now, and I’m your brother, the eldest son of the Leo family. So I have absolute power to make any decisions on your father’s behalf, don’t you think?” Charles pushed him aside and asked the clansmen below.
