Chapter 130 - "Elliana Will Die"
Grandpa Yofan couldn't hold back his emotion anymore. The old man slammed the table and abruptly stood up.
"Are all of you crazy? The family trial? Elliana isn't found guilty yet! We are still investigating things, right?" Grandpa Yoyo's chest went up and down as his eyes scanned the four men in the room.
"I object to the trial. Elliana isn't an absolute sinner to be put on trial. That's it."
Grandpa Yofan took a stern stance, not going to budge at all, but the four middle-aged men didn't come to find him unprepared.
They looked at each other before shaking their heads.
"Your excellency, unfortunately, the other elders have agreed to the trial...we only need your approval, but...the majority votes will still hold the trial."
Uncle Dober tugged the corner of his lips as he looked at Grandpa Yofan with a taunting face.
"The trial will be held next morning, your excellency. We just want to inform you." He added.
Boom!
Grandpa Yofan's mind shattered in that instant. The old man wobbled. His face looked so pale that he seemed like a corpse. His faint was breath. He might die any minutes.
"What...did you say? T-the other elders agree with the trial?" The old man's eyes reddened. Fury and pain were mixed in his serene pupils.
His heart throbbed. His head was in pain. And his mind went blank.
The elders...betray him?
Uncle Dober saw Grandpa Yofan's astonished face, and he couldn't help but chuckle lightly.
"Indeed. The 6 elders read the reports, and they also agree to hold the trial, your excellency. Everyone believes that Elliana is a sinner from the evidence we have gathered."
"They believe it…" Grandpa Yofan's face was ashen. The old man tugged his beard and shot a murderous glare at Uncle Dober.
So the 6 elders didn't betray him. They're just beguiled by these foxes! Indeed, those who didn't know Elliana would fall for the evidence since it looked so real.
But I didn't think that these bastards would also ask the other elders! Are they trying to say that in the end, even if I'm the leader of the 7 great elders, I can't act as I wish?
Grandpa Yofan's teeth clattered once more. If he kept doing that, even his teeth would be gone. But at the moment, the old man didn't care.
What's the use of keeping his teeth when Elliana might be executed soon?
How could the smart old man didn't know these foxes' intentions by holding a trial? They wanted to make the punishment as heavy as possible, and the worst punishment would be an execution.
If the core members there already sided with these family heads because they believe the reports, it would be the end of Elliana.
She would die!
Grandpa Yofan's throat tightened. His chest felt so stifled that he almost couldn't breathe.
Damn it. Damn it! Is there no one in the upper echelon opposing these foxes aside from me?
Grandpa Yofan shot another glare at Uncle Dober and the others. Sweat slowly trickled down his wrinkly face.
Damn it...I know that not all the core members are rotten, but they might believe what's in the report since they're not that familiar with the prominent family's political issue.
It's easy to misguide them to believe that Elliana is a traitor. Those people have high loyalty to the Sloan Family, and even if they don't like a puppet family head, they won't allow anyone to harm their family head…
Those loyal generals would surely agree to execute Elliana. The 5 buds...they might not come, but they would also not hesitate to kill Elliana if she harmed the family head.
Even if they didn't like the current family head, harming the family head when they're still in the family was akin to challenging their authority and tarnishing their reputation. It would wound their pride.
In short, almost all the upper echelons would agree to execute Elliana!
Grandpa Yofan's breath stilled. The old man staggered once more. His blood just rushed to his head, and he might faint any moment.
"Is there a need for a trial? I believe that Elliana is loyal. There must be a way to prove her innocence, so don't be so quick to bring her to the trial…" Grandpa Yofan muttered weakly.
If he could find evidence proving Elliana to be innocent, he wouldn't be so stressed right now. Unfortunately, there's no way to prove Elliana's innocence aside from waiting for Ainsley to wake up.
Only Ainsley could prove Elliana's innocence because she's the victim! Of course, even when she woke up, there's no guarantee that the Sloan Family's upper echelons would listen to her, but…
That baby is miraculous. She might find a way to solve this...and the Godfather spirit might also help her!
Grandpa Yofan gritted his teeth. He looked at the four men in the room with gloomy eyes.
"Can't you reconsider the trial?" The old man asked in a hoarse voice. He already lost his bearing and appeared to be begging instead.
"I'm sorry, your excellency. Harming the family head is a capital offence. We can't take this lightly." Uncle Dober shook his head.
"Tomorrow morning at 7.30 a.m, we will hold the trial. Your excellency, please attend to avenge the young miss' grievances." Uncle Roger chipped in.
Once he's done, he bowed politely and gestured to the others to go out of the room.
In no time, the four gentlemen strode out of the room with a big smile on their face while Grandpa Yoyo slumped to his office chair.
"It's over. If Ain doesn't wake up soon…" the grandpa muttered as he wiped his forehead.
"Elliana will die."
