Makiko looked at Akira with flames in her eyes.
She had thought that the new child would be easy to handle, especially after hearing about that embarrassing incident in Saffron Garden.
All she needed to do was agitate her mother a little and exaggerate the occurrence. As long as it seemed like Akira was bringing shame to the family name, her mother would be set against her.
However, it looked like she was not a soft one.
Still, a young girl without experience was nothing before her.
"You have opened my eyes, little girl." Makiko laughed. "I am merely trying to educate you and ensure that you are presentable, now that you have joined the family. Don't tell me you are willing to spend Yamazaki wealth on a crystal piano but unable to put a little effort by honouring your elders."
Makiko intended to shame Akira. Regardless of how thick a person's face was, it was embarrassing to be exposed as a money-grubbing hussy before everyone.
