The Chosen System: Counterattack with Husband

When Chief Angelo pressed the stop button of the recorder with a gloomy face, he glanced at Elder Guido, who was afraid to look him in the eye, with an angry look on his face, and deliberately snorted heavily.

Elder Guido was already too guilty to meet Angelo's eyes. After hearing the cold snort from his cousin, the clan leader, his hands, which were already shaking slightly, began to shake even more violently, and he lowered his head even lower.

Guido, who was always bossing his wife Viola around, now dared not say a word in the face of the accusations from the clan leader and other elders.

Kevin was not present today, and Angelo wanted to make an example of him. Seeing that the recorder had been turned off for a long time, he did not speak. He just tapped the table lightly with his fingers and looked at his cousin silently.

Emilio and Mary, who had been standing in the hallway, didn't dare to breathe, for fear that the rage of Patriarch Angelo would increase.

Elder Beato, who had always been on good terms with Elder Guido, could not stand the heavy and serious atmosphere and was the first to speak and break the silence.

"This recording is just that person's one-sided statement. Whether it can be trusted remains to be verified. Don't you think it's unfair to hold someone accountable based on this alone?"

Emilio, who was the steward of the manor and had hosted Xu Yiyu for two days, heard what Elder Beato said. Although his expression did not change at all, he felt disgusted with Elder Beato's specious arguments in his heart.

Everyone in this room knows exactly what kind of person Master Felice is in his daily life!

Elder Beato actually had the nerve to say that this was just someone else's one-sided statement? Hasn't Felice done enough similar things that have troubled others?

Angelo sneered and glanced at Beato, his eyes narrowed slightly, motioning for him to continue.

He wanted to see how far these pedantic and selfish elders could confuse right and wrong! Could it be that they would regret it only when they saw the coffin and didn't cry?

"Angelo, we are the only ones here now, and the Chinese lady has already gone to Domiti. It's still up to us to decide how to deal with this recording. After all, she just wants an explanation, right?"

Elder Beato regarded Angelo's look as encouragement and continued to speak fearlessly, which made the other elders present feel even more frightened.

How come this guy gets more confused as he gets older! Isn't he afraid that Angelo will get angry and kick him and Guido out of the house?

Elder Beato pretended to be an otherworldly sage, smiling as he stroked his neatly groomed beard. He seemed to think what he said made sense, and with a smile in his eyes he glanced at the faces of all the elders.

Guido's head, which had just begun to ache, became even more painful after listening to Elder Beato's speech. He wished he could use a needle to sew up the mouth of this stupid teammate himself.

Beato doesn't understand the current situation! Cousin Angelo is only a hair's breadth away from going berserk, and he dares to touch the tiger's whiskers at this time. Is he really tired of living?

"We have the final say, so according to you, how should we deal with this recording?"

As the head of the clan, Angelo's ability to cultivate his Qi is beyond the reach of ordinary people. Even in the face of Elder Beato's self-deceiving remarks, he still tried his best to suppress his anger that was about to explode, and asked him what he meant with a smile.

As soon as he said this, even though Beato thought highly of himself, he could sense Angelo's anger that was about to be uncontrollable, and he immediately gave a dry laugh with a bit of shrinking.

"Of course, I'll handle this according to your wishes. I'm just giving you a suggestion, you don't necessarily need to listen to it."

The dark cloud around Angelo that had almost solidified into substance finally made Beato feel a little afraid. After kicking the ball back quite respectfully, Beato lowered his eyes obediently and no longer made any eye contact with Angelo.

Even though the members of the Council of Elders hold some real power in the family, that power was voluntarily delegated to them by Angelo, the patriarch.

It was okay to contradict Angelo on small matters, but if they offended the patriarch when he was angry, he might really take back the authority of the elders and leave them with nothing overnight.

"Cousin Angelo, I have already warned Felice about this matter and told him not to provoke the powerful Miss Xu. He did not listen to me and secretly hired someone to kidnap her. As a father, I have a responsibility and am willing to be punished."

Elder Guido had experienced the power of Xu Yiyu's assistant before. Just one day had passed since this incident, and Felice, this brat, dared to secretly disobey his orders and find someone to kidnap, which put him in a very passive position.

The only way now is for him, as a father, to take the responsibility first so that Angelo's anger can be eased a little and there will be room for improvement in the following matters.

Hearing Elder Guido take the initiative to admit his mistake and take responsibility, Angelo's expression eased a little. He glared at Beato coldly and then turned to Guido's direction.

"You are Felice's father, and you do have an unshirkable responsibility. If I give you a chance to make amends now, what will you do?"

How could Angelo not know that Guido's move was a delaying tactic, but kidnapping could be a big deal or a small one. In addition, he also knew that Felice had just had his arm broken by Xu Yiyu the day before, and yet he caused such a big incident yesterday.

He had never had high hopes for his nephew Felice, but he never expected that he would have the guts to do such an offensive thing, and even pretend that they, the old guys, would not find out!

"Cousin, how about I go home first and bring this kid here. Then, we can see if he has any remorse. If he refuses to repent, we can put him under house arrest in the old house and let Miss Xu deal with him when she comes back. How do you think?"

Felice is Guido's youngest son and also his most beloved son. He usually asks for the stars and the moon and wants to give him all the good things.

However, if he allowed the family interests to be damaged, Guido would have more than one son, and when necessary, he would have to sacrifice his own family for the greater good.

"House arrest? My dear cousin, Miss Xu specially asked someone to send this recording evidence to you. Do you think that if she only gets the light result of house arrest, will she still have half the trust in the reputation of our Gallo family after she returns?"

Angelo was almost amused by the solution proposed by Guido. He didn't wait for the stubborn elders in the Council to make a decision, nor did he want to see them trying to smooth things over. He immediately put on a stern face and scolded them.

"Angelo, Miss Xu Yiyu is just an outsider anyway, and the kidnapping was unsuccessful. But you are trying to punish our family members just to show your favoritism to an outsider. Aren't you being too close to them?"

Seeing that the atmosphere was becoming increasingly tense, the elder with a clean-faced and beardless face deliberately changed the subject and questioned Angelo instead, accusing him of "failing to distinguish between relatives and strangers."

"If Miss Xu had handed you the concession document in person, your words might have been more convincing."

"But now... my dear cousin, after getting the good news, you want to get rid of me, right?"

Having his thoughts exposed in front of so many people, the beardless elder's expression changed instantly. He looked away uncomfortably and stopped being aggressive towards Angelo.

"Whether the kidnapping was successful or not, since Felice is a member of the Gallo family, he must be responsible for his words and actions."

Angelo looked at Elder Guido meaningfully and gave him an ultimatum in a stern tone.

"If you guys still can't think of a suitable solution, then just stay here!
