Chapter 1328 Reversal Of Right And Wrong
Ichika spoke to Solomon directly.
There was no room for Akiko to interrupt.
Therefore, Akiko began to panic, and her face paled even further.
“No, I don’t. Who told you that? I remember saying that since you’ve entered the company, you can
look for me anytime if you have any questions,” Solomon answered with a frown.
In an instant, the atmosphere in the office turned cold. The origin of the chill was none other than
Ichika, who was so furious that a coldness seemed to emanate from the depth of her eyes.
No one expected Ichika to be capable of expressing such a chilling gaze.
“Akiko!” Ichika snapped angrily.
“Ms. Minamoto!” Akiko immediately kneeled before Ichika. “I’m sorry, Ms. Minamoto! It’s all my fault. I
shouldn’t have given you fake information regarding Mr. Akiyama’s wishes. I thought I was doing it for
your sake so that Mr. Akiyama would have a better impression of you. I was wrong. Please forgive me,
Ms. Minamoto!”
Ichika did not expect Akiko to carry out such a countermeasure when she saw that her lie was about to
fail. She admitted her mistakes and even kneeled to apologize humbly.

Ichika remained standing on her spot, unable to voice a single complaint. She felt uncomfortable and
awkward standing there.
Furthermore, she had never seen a commoner behaving so outrageously.
No servant dared to decide for their master in the Minamoto family. If a servant did that, they would be
severely punished and chased out of the residence.
Ichika was bursting with fury. “You… You’re too much! Who gives you the right to decide for me?”
“Yes, yes, I was wrong, and I admit my mistake. No matter how you decide to punish me, I won’t hold it
against you.” After saying that, Akiko prostrated herself on the floor.
She looked like a slave begging for mercy.
Solomon was rendered speechless.
Suddenly, a scene appeared in his mind.
It was a memory from when he was eighteen years old when Yancy brought him to the Tsurka family in
Jetroina for the first time. At the time, to convince Yamada to let him stay and adopt him as his son, he
had to kneel in a way that was almost as humiliating as what Akiko was doing now.
Furthermore, after Yamada finally adopted him, he had to leave his room daily to kneel and bow to
Yamada and his sons.
He had to do that all the way until he graduated from university. Then, he left to carve his own path.
Solomon’s pupils constricted, and he stared at Akiko prostrated on the floor and shouted without
thinking, “Why are you prostrated before her? Are you her slave? Why do you have to prostrate before
her like that?”
The office fell into complete silence.
Ichika turned to him with a pale expression as tears quickly filled her almond-shaped eyes.
“Mr. Akiyama, you…” Ichika was utterly dumbfounded.
Her chest suddenly felt constricted. It felt so uncomfortable that it was painful to breathe.
Solomon did not say anything.
He stared at her for a second, but that was enough for Ichika to bury her face in her hands and run out
of the office.
Bang!
The office door slammed shut, causing Solomon to tremble for a moment.
What was I doing? How could I say something like that? Ichika is a noble lady. Isn’t it normal for Akiko
to kneel before her? Have I gone mad again?
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Mr. Akiyama, thank you for defending me just now, but Ms. Minamoto—” Akiko started to say.
“Get out!” Solomon growled through gritted teeth. Even after he calmed down, his gaze remained
murderous.
His words instantly extinguished Akiko’s glee. She looked at him fearfully and did not dare to disobey
him. Therefore, she stood up from the floor and walked out.
Ever since Solomon’s mother died, Akiko believed she understood him better than anyone in this world.
When Solomon came to Jetroina at eighteen years old, Akiko and the Sato family were working as
servants for the Tsurka family.
Her elder brother, Ken, served Yamada since he was young.
Meanwhile, her elder sister, Hanako, served Yancy ever since Yancy came to Jetroina.
Only Akiko was not given any task due to her young age. Therefore, she followed by Hanako’s side.
One day, the eighteen-year-old Solomon arrived in Jetroina.
Thus, she knew how his life was all these years.
She frequently heard from Yancy about how he was mistreated from a young age. Truthfully, Akiko
never believed that Yancy was fit to be a mother.
It was because Yancy frequently used Solomon as a bargaining chip since he was a child to gain
money and benefits so that she could show off.
She had never once cared about how much trauma and emotional damage that might cause to him.
After realizing this fact at the time, Akiko hated Yancy and pitied Solomon.
