Rebirth of the Villainous Female Boss
Chapter 979 - Chapter 979 Chapter 952 Since Its Already Happened Do What

Chapter 979: Chapter 952 Since It’s Already Happened, Do What Needs to Be Done Chapter 979: Chapter 952 Since It’s Already Happened, Do What Needs to Be Done Inside the house, Kiara and her family were debating the matter.

Outside, after having taken photos with Tiara Stone and the others, Mother Yuno also gathered Mr. Yuno for an emergency meeting in the house, leaving their son to entertain Kiara’s circle of friends and relatives.

Kiara’s friends and relatives were momentarily kept under control by Tiara Stone; they didn’t express dissatisfaction, but they also didn’t follow the car to the hotel, waiting to see what Mrs. Kiara would decide.

If Mrs. Kiara came out and said it was time to go, these people would immediately go to the banquet with smiles to support her.

But if Mrs. Kiara came out with a dark expression, they would promptly follow her lead, going back to the Old Clark Family home and not attending the wedding banquet.

The current appearance of harmony was just to save face for Mrs. Kiara, waiting for her to follow up with directions, showing that Kiara had always behaved properly – her friends were all loyal and would stick by her side.

Mother Yuno went into another room with Mr. Yuno, and once the door was closed, it was just the two of them.

Mother Yuno was the first to express dissatisfaction, and her way of doing so was very direct, she started chewing out Mr. Yuno right away.

“Is this any way to live? People kidnapped my son on his big day – what is this supposed to mean? Jerome Yuno, you call your son back right now; this wedding banquet can’t go on with just Kiara watching over everything!” Mother Yuno was on the verge of exploding.

Mr. Yuno had his anger boiling within, too; he knew the source of that phone call and naturally understood his son’s predicament.

Even if their son had left his old job, he was still always ready at a moment’s notice, considering obedience to orders his sacred duty.

Despite feeling that the situation was wrong, he still had to offer a rebuttal.

“Why are you yelling at me? He’s answering the call of duty; he has to go if needed, without question! And calm down, Old Woman. If they call the youngest away on a day like today, it must be something major; you have to consider the bigger picture!”

Mr. Yuno spoke with righteous indignation, but the rampaging Mother Yuno wasn’t buying it.

“What’s the bigger picture? The bigger picture is that my son left his daughter-in-law alone, throwing a bunch of people into the hotel to wait? What must they think of Our Home, and how am I supposed to explain to the in-laws? You go, you go and explain to the in-laws next door! I’m telling you, I can totally understand how the in-laws must be feeling right now, and to be honest, if they take their daughter back, we’d be in the wrong, don’t you get it?”

“Don’t talk like it’s so dire…” Mr. Yuno’s rebuttal clearly lacked strength because he knew he was at fault, yet as the head of the family, he couldn’t express his dissatisfaction as directly and outright as Mother Yuno.

“How is it not dire? You also have a daughter. Our Amelia isn’t married off yet. Think about it – if something like this happened on our daughter’s wedding day, with the groom running off and leaving the bride, wouldn’t you be mad? If you’re mad, surely the in-laws would be upset too. This isn’t the way to do things! Tell me, what do we do now!”

Mother Yuno was genuinely angry, and her voice became loud. Mr. Yuno’s eyes darted around, fearing that people outside would hear. He panically tried to cover Mother Yuno’s mouth with his hand, but she didn’t hold back, biting down hard.

She was simply taking her anger out on him – so be it!

Mr. Yuno, grimacing from the bite, couldn’t argue back; he knew his family was in the wrong.

All the wedding guests had come from far and wide – Heavenly Bounds. With the groom running away, what kind of situation was that?

How would he ever face the in-laws in the future?

The key point was that the son and daughter-in-law were so in love; if this situation caused friction or even affected their marriage, where would they find such an exceptional and good daughter-in-law?

But some things really aren’t up to one person to decide, like the youngest suddenly having to leave; who could have predicted that? It really was a case of having a bitter pill to swallow and no way to express it!

Separated by a mere wall, Kiara’s mother couldn’t overcome Robert Johnson. Therefore, she had a similar reaction to Mother Yuno; pointing at Robert Johnson, she said, “Why are you talking so much today? I’m starting to dislike you now!”

Like a child, such a naive reaction clearly showed she was truly angry, completely confused by her emotions.

Robert Johnson wasn’t angry either, standing beside her, trying to persuade her.

“No one wanted this to happen, our home’s Kiara doesn’t have any fundamental conflicts with Edward Wheeler ‘Bright Clarity.’ Holding onto this resentment isn’t good for Kiara either, how is she supposed to get along at her in-laws’ home in the future?”

That was logical, but feelings weren’t something one could simply control.

Robert Johnson belonged to the rational group, while Kiara’s mother and Arlong were emotional. They both cared deeply for Kiara.

“Sister, the Old Yates Family is so powerful, yet they can’t even handle this minor matter. Doesn’t that mean they don’t care about you? Just don’t get married, I’ll go and argue on your behalf right now! Even though I’m young, I’m still a man of our family. Giorno, will you go or not?” Arlong was impassioned, determined to stand up for his sister.

“Arlong, this matter isn’t as simple as you think. You should listen to your sister,” Giorno said, his leg still a bit lame and in need of some days to recover fully, but his IQ hadn’t dropped.

“That’s it, if you’re not my own brother, you’re useless. Fine, if you won’t go, I will!” Arlong turned to leave but was grabbed by Kiara. She reached out to slap this fool, but remembering no hands should be laid on such a joyful day, she instead gave him a push.

“You little rascal, do you realize how cold that makes people feel when you talk like that? Apologize to your brother! How has he treated you these past years? How could you say something so senseless?”

Without Giorno working overtime, tutoring Arlong one-on-one, the kid wouldn’t even make it into a third-tier college.

“Sorry, brother, I was blinded by anger,” Arlong came back to his senses, regretting his earlier words, which had been excessively harsh, and hurriedly apologized to Giorno.

Giorno waved it off, “It’s not important. I know you’re just worried about Kiara’s situation.”

An intellectual indeed has good qualities; most people would have been angry by now.

“Learn something from your Brother Giorno! What is a brain? The brain is a particularly good thing, I hope you have one, and your Brother-in-law hopes so too! I know you’re standing up for me, I know you care deeply for your sister. That’s well-intentioned, but what use is a good heart without thinking?”

Kiara was moved and angry at her brother’s reaction; moved by his genuine feelings, angry that the kid couldn’t see the situation clearly, joining in the chorus with their mother, who was going through menopause.

“Sister! You haven’t even married into the Old Yu Moore family yet, and your heart is already with them? They mess things up like this, and you still side with them!”

“You disagree when told you have no brains! Whenever speaking of your Brother-in-law’s family having power, do you even know what power is for? Traditionally, ‘power’ meant a steelyard weight, the moveable iron lump on a balance scale. James Ward ‘Mencius Descendant’ once said, ‘With power, then you discern the light and heavy.’ Do you understand what that means?”

“…What does it mean?” Arlong was once again outdone by the academic whiz.

“Your sister means that you must understand proportion in your actions. A person with real power will not misuse the authority they hold,” Giorno explained.

“How is getting married misusing it? It’s just a matter of saying a word!”

Kiara didn’t argue with him since the very reason she wanted to send Arlong away to toughen up was to change his habit of wanting to use power to pressure others.

“Mom, Arlong, my wedding ceremony with Edward Wheeler ‘Bright Clarity’ has, strictly speaking, already been completed. The certificate was obtained long ago, and we’ve performed the bows. Aren’t you just upset that he isn’t attending the banquet? But you must understand, for whom is this wedding ceremony conducted? It’s just for relatives and friends. I admit I’m not as happy as I appear, but what use is being unhappy? What our family needs to do now is to complete the formalities. A wedding banquet lacking the groom might even achieve an unexpected effect.”
