"Damn it, I lost again! Why does this boss only attack me?!" Sonoko stared angrily at the defeat screen and couldn't help but punch the teddy bear on her chest.

"Ai, let's play one more round, we're sure to win this time!"

Sonoko said unwillingly.

"No, I'm sleepy. You can play by yourself, Sonoko-neechan."

Ai's voice came through the earphones.

"Oh, are you sleepy so early?" Sonoko scratched her head without realizing it, a little disappointed, but still said with concern, "Then you should get some rest. Good night."

Undeterred, Sonoko immediately started a new game after hanging up the voice chat.

As expected, without Ai's help, she didn't even get to see the boss this time before she tragically sacrificed herself.

"ah!!!"

Sonoko yelled angrily, threw the game console onto the sofa, and then collapsed like a deflated balloon onto Ayako, who was diligently typing on her computer.

"Sister, what are you doing?"

"I'm arranging things for the group to handle tomorrow," Ayako said, turning her body slightly to turn the computer screen towards Sonoko so that she could see the dense data and documents on the screen.

"In this Kidd incident, although the group paid a lot, it also gained a lot."

Ayako's eyes revealed a shrewdness and competence as she slid her fingers across the touchpad, causing the content on the screen to change accordingly.

"Hehe..." Sonoko only glanced at the screen and felt her eyes spinning. She quickly looked away and praised, "Sister is awesome! Long live sister!"

"You!"

Ayako looked up, smiled, and reached out to tap her forehead.

"Hehe~" Sonoko chuckled along, her eyes narrowing into slits.

Just as the two sisters were chatting, Suzuki Shiro suddenly came downstairs carrying a pillow.

"Dad, weren't you going to sleep? Why are you down here again?" Sonoko, with her sharp eyes, noticed immediately, her eyes wide with curiosity as she tilted her head and asked.

"Ah... Sonoko, Ayako, you're still awake?" Suzuki Shiro's face showed an awkward smile when Sonoko asked him this. His lips twitched slightly as he explained, "I'm going to the study to get something. I'll go to sleep later. You guys should go to bed early too."

After saying that, he walked towards the study without looking back.

"What is he going to the study to get in the middle of the night?" Sonoko wondered to herself as she watched Suzuki Shiro's departing figure.

Then she turned to Ayako, who clearly knew something, and asked, "Sister, what's wrong with Dad? He looks strange."

“It’s Mom.” Ayako closed her laptop and whispered to Sonoko, “We agreed that the Suzuki family would handle dealing with Kid ourselves, but Dad was out drinking with Uncle Mori when Kid showed up.”

Sonoko's mouth dropped open in surprise, and she asked incredulously, "Dad actually went drinking at such a crucial moment? That's so irresponsible! What happened next?"

Although she was in Osaka at the time and even taught Kid a lesson with Ran and the others, she had no idea that her father had gone out drinking.

Ayako sighed helplessly and continued, "It ended up requiring Yuzuru to intervene personally, so when Mom found out what happened, she was a little angry and punished Dad by not letting him go back to his room to sleep with her."

Sonoko's eyes widened, a hint of worry appearing on her face, before she suddenly burst out laughing, saying gloatingly, "Ah, poor Dad! But it's also Dad's fault for insisting on going out drinking; couldn't he have waited until he got back to drink!"

Ayako shook her head as she listened to her sister's incessant chatter, saying nothing.

In the Suzuki family, no one can disobey Tomoko Suzuki's orders, because she is the true mistress of the house.

This matter concerns whether the Suzuki family can rise to the next level, and Tomoko Suzuki, as the head of the family, attaches great importance to it.

As a son-in-law who married into the family, it's normal for Suzuki Shiro to be punished for not following orders.

In this family, everyone has their own responsibilities and missions.

Just like Ayako, if Yuzuru hadn't appeared, her mission would have been to go out and connect with Yan.

Sonoko's responsibility is to find a son-in-law to live with her family and then take over the Suzuki Group.

Therefore, since Shiro Suzuki enjoys the wealth and luxury brought by the Suzuki family, he should bear the corresponding responsibilities.

In Tomoko Suzuki's view, his mistake this time was unforgivable, which is why she punished him in this way. This was also to teach him a lesson so he wouldn't repeat the same mistake.
