C295 (2/2)

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.
