The Heroines Can Read My Secret Diary

Ayako's words completely confirmed what Sonoko had said.

Tomoko and Shirou looked at Ayako with disbelief in their eyes. Ayako at this moment felt very foreign to this couple.

Was this really their daughter?

"Last time on the cruise ship, Hakuto reminded me that people wouldn't willingly accept being chosen for a marriage alliance. He told me not to be fooled by appearances. So I did a little investigation, and I never expected..."

Ayako looked at Hakuto, who was sitting on the sofa. "You investigated me?"

"No. I just don't believe there really exists such a detached and indifferent person in this world. As the eldest daughter, being used as a tool for a marriage alliance, how could you possibly be willing? Of course, I was just saying it casually. Even if I was wrong, it wouldn't matter, right?"

After hearing this, Ayako laughed out loud. "I never expected it to be for such a ridiculous reason."

"This reason isn't ridiculous at all. You just disguised yourself too perfectly. Also, because of family reasons, Sonoko and the others never suspected you in the slightest. If there had been even a shred of suspicion, you would have been exposed quickly. The reason Sonoko was able to uncover you so easily is precisely this."

Ayako didn't ask further.

"So, what are you going to do now? Kill me? The Restoration Society wants to restore Japan. So as a member of Great Ming, you should probably choose to kill me."

"Killing you would be a pity. Also, Sonoko wants you to live. So I'll give you a choice: work for me, dig out all the members of the Restoration Society for me."

"What if I refuse?"

Ayako looked at Hakuto, a flash of madness in her eyes.

Shirou and Tomoko both looked at Suzuki Ayako and shouted, "Ayako, what nonsense are you talking about?"

"Even if you refuse, it doesn't matter. I will turn you into a subordinate completely loyal to me."

"So now you have two choices. The first is for me to turn you into my subordinate. This choice will almost completely erase your autonomy, and you will become my puppet. By the way, I already have many such subordinates."

"The other is for you to cooperate willingly. In this case, I will leave behind some means at most, but I won't erase your autonomous consciousness."

Hearing this, Ayako's face turned pale. What Hakuto said was completely unacceptable to her. Ayako was not afraid of death, but she could not accept becoming a marionette or puppet.

"I choose the second."

Ayako ultimately made a compromise. If she didn't compromise, she probably wouldn't even see the sun tomorrow. No, to be precise, her consciousness wouldn't see the sun tomorrow.

Thinking of this, a bitter smile appeared on the corner of Ayako's lips.

She couldn't accept this kind of thing. Ayako could accept her own death normally, but she could not accept losing all her consciousness and becoming a puppet in Hakuto's hands. So Ayako surrendered, submitted.

The Suzuki Family breathed a sigh of relief.

"Then I'll give you a piece of information as a pledge of allegiance."

"Mori Kogoro is also a member of the Restoration Society. Of course, I have no evidence. It's just my guess. But I think you'll definitely be able to find flaws in him."

Hakuto looked at Ayako for a long while, then laughed.

"Since you've been exposed, you can't let others off easy either, right? Suzuki Ayako, I have to say, you are a very special person."

Hakuto didn't say anything more. He stood up and left directly. Ayako remained silent.

After leaving, Hakuto took out his phone and called Kisaki Eri. The call connected quickly. Hakuto told her about Kogoro. After hearing this, Eri fell silent. Then she didn't say much.

"Do whatever you want. I have no relationship with Mori Kogoro now. As long as you don't hurt Ran."

Hakuto was noncommittal about Eri's answer, but he didn't say much either. Originally, Hakuto had planned to have Eri go and expose Kogoro's identity. But he didn't expect that Eri had anticipated his thoughts. In the end, she directly said that Hakuto could do whatever he wanted, that it had nothing to do with her, and that she no longer had any relationship with Kogoro.

Since Eri had refused, Hakuto naturally wouldn't dwell on it.

Hakuto didn't plan to waste time either. He directly went to Kogoro. Walking into the Mori Detective Agency, Ran's eyes showed surprise when she saw Hakuto.

Hakuto looked at Kogoro and nodded. "No wonder everyone was fooled by you. With a parliament like you in the Restoration Society, they might actually turn their fortunes around someday."

Hakuto wasn't nervous. He just looked at Kogoro like that.

Upon hearing what Hakuto said, the expression on Kogoro's face gradually became serious.

"I never expected it to come. The day when my identity would be exposed was bound to come eventually. But I didn't expect it to come so soon."

Kogoro looked at Hakuto before him, a flash of complexity in his eyes. How could Kogoro not know about the matter between Hakuto and Eri?

Although his daughter wanted to help Eri hide it, how could Kogoro not know his daughter's personality? He had easily gotten the information out of Ran.

After that, how could Kogoro not know about the matter between Eri and Hakuto?

"Mori Kogoro, two choices. One is death. The other is become my subordinate."

Kogoro didn't answer. With lightning speed, he took a gun from the desk drawer and fired several shots at Hakuto.

Hakuto instantly dodged the bullets. Originally, he had planned to ignore them, but a sense of danger made him avoid them.
