C295 (1/2)
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.
