Chapter 129 - "100% Guilty"
Once Uncle Roger made his accusation, the other three immediately followed after him.
"Yes, your excellency, I heard that it"s because of the sacred guardian that Elliana let to stay beside the young miss!"
"That must be it. She"s such a nasty woman. To think she would try to harm the young miss when the little lamb believes her…"
All sorts of accusations, along with the forged proof, flew in the air. The four didn"t stop talking, and Grandpa Yofan had to raise his hand to stop them from speaking.
"Enough. I know what all of you want to do, but without solid proof, we can"t just blame Elliana. That"s not fair." Grandpa Yofan shook his head. Even though he knew that Elliana would be blamed sooner or later, at least he had to delay it.
All the authority was in his hand right now, and only when the family branches pressured him would he make a move to sacrifice Elliana.
Of course, that better never happened.
However, the four family heads wouldn"t back down that easily. They placed various doc.u.ments showing Elliana"s fault in this case on the table, forcing Grandpa Yofan to frown.
"Do you guys believe that I"ll trust these proofs? They"re forged. I"m sure of it." Grandpa Yofan gritted his teeth. He refused to read the reports sent by these foxes, but the four of them didn"t stop pressuring him.
"Your excellency, please read the report first. It"s all true. We also have a lot of eye witnesses!"
"Yes, your excellency. As the supreme elder, it"s unwise for you to side with a sinner even if you trust her."
With constant pressures, Grandpa Yofan finally relented. The old man picked up the papers and started to read the testimony gathered by the four family heads.
-Elliana was seen attending the young miss and entered her room the first day the young miss was deemed to be in a deep coma.
-A witness said that the sacred guardian was right beside the young miss when she was found to be in a coma.
-A few maids" testimonies said that Elliana prevented the maids from entering the young miss" bedroom the first day of the young miss" misery.
-Elliana was the only one who visited the young miss" bedroom the last three days.
-Elliana is the first suspect behind the young miss" sudden comatose.
As Grandpa Yofan read on, his head throbbed in pain.
This...is tricky.
The old man let out a deep sigh.
Why is it tricky? Because the report...
The reports didn"t consist of 100% lies. It was 40% truth, and 60% lies. However, it was hard to distinguish between the two!
One couldn"t help but trust the report since the truth mixed with the lie was convincing.
Everyone knew that Elliana was the only one visiting Ainsley for the last three days. Even though he was also there, somehow, people said that only Elliana was seen.
If it"s like this, the low-level family members would also think that Elliana was the culprit. As doubts grow, they might be an excuse for the branch family heads to revolt in the name of saving the family head…
That would be chaotic, indeed.
Grandpa Yofan rubbed his glabella and his wrinkles deepened. The old man put down the reports with a dark face before lifting his head.
"...I get it. The reports seem authentic. So, what do you gentlemen suggest I do?"
The old man stroked his long beard and furrowed his eyebrows. He didn"t wish to pull Elliana"s leg, but it seemed that he would be forced to do that…
For the sake of the family, Elliana had to be sacrificed first. Of course, if Ainsley woke up, it would be their turn to punish these evildoers.
Once Grandpa Yoyo asked the four gentlemen what they should do, the four of them looked at each other, and their faces beamed.
Finally! They can frame that b*tch!
Uncle Roger was the most excited of them all. His face flushed red, and he trembled slightly. Of course, he didn"t become so foolish that he couldn"t speak.
The middle-aged man hurriedly opened his mouth to make a suggestion.
"It"s like this. We think that we should put Lady Elliana on the family judgement trial. Let the Sloan Family"s core members do the trial as not to frame someone innocent."
Uncle Roger made a "good" suggestion while keeping up a kind smile on his face. If Ainsley was here, she would have slapped the man already.
Good your a*s! You guys will just conspire with the judges!
The Sloan Family"s core members, after all, were the heads and vice heads of the branch families. There would also be the direct descendant of each branch family and the 7 great elders from the main family.
The head of every force in the Sloan Family would also be there. The head accountant, the housekeeper, the generals who were battling in the territory war…
Every person that moved the Sloan Family would attend the trial...because this kind of trial was simply made to judge a traitor that held quite a powerful authority within the family.
There"s no wonder that Grandpa Yofan"s face stiffened at the suggestion. His face became so dark that one could squeeze ink from it.
"A family judgement trial? Isn"t that too harsh? If we want to investigate the case, there"s no need for a trial!" The old man shook his head. His voice became even colder than before.
Why?
Because once someone was put on a trial, it means that they"re 100% guilty! The trial was just a show-off to ensure the core members saw the face of the sinner.
It"s like a guillotine!
