Chapter 2084.
Nearly half an hour later, amid the eyes of an enthusiastic crowd, Fujiko walked into the meeting room. However, what shocked the crowd was that Fujiko was holding the arm of a man they had never seen before. He's a complete stranger.
As the youngest son of the Kanagawa family, Kanagawa Kai is very famous in Japan, and everyone here knows him.
If he was a more capable man than Kanagawa Kai, they would not mind. But if he was an ordinary young man, their plans would all be in vain.
"Well, who are you?"
Thinking of this, Suke did not hesitate to stand up and ask.
As he spoke, he continued to look at Gerald, trying to identify this man from his temperament and clothes.
"This is the matter I want to talk to all of you about today. About Fujiko and Kanagawa Kai's marriage contract, I decided to cancel it for two reasons. One of them is Kanagawa Kai is not a good person. If you go out, just take a man, and ask him now, you'll know what he's done. Secondly, it's because Fujiko and Gerald are in love, and they are in a romantic relationship. As his father, I won't separate them."
Takuya gestured to Fujiko. Gerald and Fujiko walked to Takuya amidst the eyes of the astonished people while holding hands.
"What joke! Indeed indeed. It's not that we don't know about the family situation! We have been waiting for Miss Fujiko to marry into the Kanagawa family to get help from them! Now that we have broken the contract unilaterally, not even mentioning help, the Kanagawa family will definitely come and look for trouble!"
"That's right, Patriarch. How can you be so stupid!"
In just a short moment, the meeting room was filled with the sounds of discord. Although there were many voices, they all said the same thing, and that was, to condemn the decision made by Takuya.
"Silent. How rude of you to argue here. Do you still respect me as your patriarch?!"
Hearing their voices, Takuya's heart burned violently. Finally, he could not help it and kicked the table. No matter what, Takuya was the head of the family.
Hearing his words, the meeting room went silent, but the majority still looked at Gerald warily.
"It's impossible for me to hand over my daughter to someone like Kanagawa Kai and see her suffer for the rest of her life. I would feel so guilty as a father! dealing with the Kanagawa family, they have nothing to do with you."
Looking at the crowd, Takuya spoke with a frown.
"But the Patriarch, this is not just a matter of your family, but of our entire family. Only when Fujiko gets married to the Kanagawa family will we get their help to overcome the crisis this time around! Now that you're saying that Fujiko won't get married, what about our family?"
Chapter 2085.
Suke was the first to speak up.
"I have my own way."
Takuya crossed his arms in front of his chest. If there weren't so many people here, he would have directly slapped Suke. After all, Takuya was his uncle, but Suke had actually fought him in front of so many people, not even glancing at him in the slightest.
This time, the one speaking was a white-haired, thin, and stooped old man. He has a high status in the Futaba family and Uncle Takuya. He is also one of the strong contenders to become a patriarch when Takuya's father has passed away.
However, since Takuya was the biological son of the patriarch, he had received more support in the family and had won the old man over with little advantage.
But now, everything has changed. Many of the older generations who had supported him had died. Although some were still alive, they had given up their power to the next generation and retired.
"Uncle Masaru is right. Since you are a patriarch, you should think for the sake of family. Now, you actually gave up on the future of the family for the sake of your daughter. I don't think you're cut out to be a patriarch!"
Right after Masaru said that, immediately there were sounds that echoed. Taking advantage of the old man's high status, they attacked Takuya.
They knew clearly that if a new patriarch was appointed, they could get Fujiko to marry into the Kanagawa family on family orders.
Even if Takuya were to oppose it, it would be useless, because the family motto that had been passed down since ancient times was that all clans had to obey what the patriarch said unconditionally. Of course, Takuya was the exception now.
"Whatchu mean? Are you trying to rebel?!"
The reaction of these people was beyond Takuya's expectations. He knew that there would be opposition, but he did not expect that he would be treated this way.
"How could we possibly rebel? We just hope you can make the right decision for the family. Sacrificing Fujiko's happiness in exchange for family glory is a very precious thing!"
Masaru sneered and said.
"I told you that this is impossible. I won't hand Fujiko over to someone like Kanagawa Kai!"
Takuya swung his sleeve and said firmly.
"I can see that you have no intention of discussing it with us. Instead, it looks like you have made a decision and just want to let us know. Since that's the case, it's better to disperse!"
Masaru did not give up at all. He had not been satisfied with Takuya since he had not been chosen to be the patriarch, and now was the best chance to overthrow him.
As long as Takuya could retreat, he was confident that he alone or his son would succeed in taking over the position.
At that time, even though the problem could not be resolved, he would be able to gain more benefits from the family before it actually fell. And even if the family did not fall completely, it would have nothing to do with them, because they had gotten what they wanted, because they had no more feelings towards the family.
"Then you can go!"
Takuya was not trying to be nice to them either.
In just ten minutes, the family meeting completely dispersed. In addition to a small number of people, the rest chose to leave. They initially thought that they would be able to get something out of the marriage contract between Fujiko and Kai.
