The people in the family tree were still the same as before; the only thing that had changed was the relationships between them. “Everyone, take a good look. This is the true Songo family genealogy. “Edmond only has one daughter, Jessie, and no sons. Jackson is just Edmond’s adopted son. “I believe everyone knows what an adopted son is, right? The definitions of adopted son and foster son are different. “An adopted son is legally recognized as having an adoption relationship, but a foster son is what we call a godson and does not have a legal relationship. “Jackson is Edmond’s adopted godson, taking the Songo family name but having no blood relationship with Edmond. “So, I’d like to ask Mr. Songo, with no blood relationship, what right do you have to talk about inheritance?” Chris saw Cecelia expose this, and he was on the verge of collapse. He immediately denied, “Cecelia, don’t confuse the facts. You’re just using the excuses to take away the Songo Group’s assets! You tampered with the Songo family genealogy. Who can believe you?” “I have witnesses and proof. The older generation with an unblemished conscience can testify for me. I did not tamper with the Songo family genealogy; it was always like this! The ones who truly tampered with the genealogy are you!” Cecelia ruthlessly chastised, shocking everyone in the Songo family except Chris, who knew the truth. They had never heard of this before. Where did Cecelia get this information? “Can it be true that we’re not even part of the Songo family?” Fiona was the first to question, and the other siblings began discussing as well. “How have we never heard of this before?” “Our grandfather isn’t of the Songo family bloodline? My goodness!”

… Chris broke out in a cold sweat, and his face turned as ugly as a moldy steamed bun. The matter of modifying the Songo family genealogy began with Jackson. Only Alfred and his wife, along with Chris and his wife, and their son Warda, knew about it. The entire history was wiped clean, and there were no traces of it in official or unofficial records. The living people didn’t dare to talk about it. How did Cecelia find out? Hearing his siblings’ discussions, Chris angrily shouted, “Shut up, all of you! Don’t believe her nonsense! We are the Songo family, and no one can change that! “As long as I’m here, her schemes won’t succeed!” Cecelia’s eyes were as sharp as a sword, “You no longer have the right to stand here, Chris!” Hearing Cecelia call his name directly, with such arrogance, Chris was completely infuriated and rushed towards Cecelia. However, Cecelia wouldn’t give him a chance to strike. As Chris approached, she lifted her foot and kicked him in the abdomen. “Ugh…” Chris fell to his knees in front of Cecelia, his facial features contorted in pain, and he gritted his teeth. “Cecelia, you’ve gone too far! After all, I’m your uncle!” “You are not my uncle. I don’t have an uncle as despicable as you!” Cecelia looked down on him, her gaze imposing. “People like you, for the sake of power, would even harm your siblings. You don’t deserve to be my uncle!” “You… you… are lying…” Chris got up and wanted to charge again, but Adam immediately stood in front of Cecelia, not allowing anyone to mistreat his sister. “You know I’m not lying, but you’re already panicking before I even say anything!” Cecelia coldly sneered and turned to the people sitting with her, “Do you know what this man has done, causing such outrage?”

Everyone was waiting for Cecelia to reveal the answer, and Fiona was also eager for this moment. She wanted to know if Cecelia had found the truth. “Do you remember the fire at the Laytons’ home five years ago?” Cecelia’s question made the shareholders present start whispering to each other. Everyone knew about the fire from five years ago, a devastating incident that wiped out the entire Layton family overnight. At the time, over ten people lost their lives, and the event shook every in Porema. “That fire wasn’t an accident; it was deliberate. The mastermind behind that arson was Chris!” Cecelia announced the answer, and the crowd gasped in shock. Chris’ brothers were in an uproar. “How can that be our big brother?” “Did our big brother set the fire? Why would he do that?” “He’s partially related to the Songo family, so why would he do such a thing?” Listening to the discussions of the crowd, Fiona clenched her fists, her eyes filled with hatred as she stared at Chris. “I didn’t do it, I didn’t! How could I do such a thing? Don’t listen to her! She’s trying to smear my name!” Chris desperately explained, and Cecelia continued, “I have evidence!” Everyone turned their attention to Cecelia, and she explained, “We’ve uncovered the truth behind the arson five years ago. Fiona was the only survivor of that fire, and she witnessed someone entering and leaving the scene of the fire. “But at the time, due to the shock of losing her family, her words were not believed by anyone.” Cecelia looked at Fiona, whose eyes were now red, with tears glistening in her eyes. “But after five years, the truth cannot be hidden forever. “The arsonist behind that fire was actually Chris’s former assistant, Brett. “Brett came back to Chris because he needed money and tried to extort him multiple times for what happened back then. Chris, fearing exposure, had no choice but to agree to pay.

“But Brett’s greed was insatiable, and he continued to blackmail Chris, leading Chris to contemplate silencing him. “Chris arranged for someone to find Brett and wanted to get rid of him. Fortunately, we intervened in time and saved Brett. “Now, let’s have Brett confront Chris right here.” Chris felt like his neck was gripped by a vice, unable to move, and his throat couldn’t produce any sound. A strong sense of fear engulfed him. At the entrance of the meeting room, security guards brought in a man, and that man was none other than Brett, Chris’s former assistant. Brett came closer and, upon seeing Chris, angrily questioned, “Mr. Songo, you ordered me to do things, and I just needed some money. Now you arranged for people to kill me. I never expected you to be so heartless!” Chris was terrified to the extreme, and as he looked at the people present, all of them were fixated on him. Suddenly, he thought of something and let out a cold laugh. “Cecelia, you’re truly devious! You think you can convict me with just any person you find? What a joke! This is all your scheme! Your conspiracy! I won’t fall for it!” “I knew you wouldn’t admit it in the first place! I have the evidence you most want to destroy. Let’s all listen together.” Cecelia played a recording on her phone, revealing the conversation between Chris and Brett, in which they discussed the arson. Everyone could hear Chris’s voice clearly in the recording. So shocking! In order to prevent Fiona from smoothly taking over the Songo family, Chris hired Brett to set the Laytons’s house on fire the night before the succession ceremony. He promised Brett a sum of money after the job was done, so Brett could leave the city. After five years, Fiona finally heard the truth of the matter, and tears streamed down her cheeks as she felt extreme pain.

As she looked at Chris, her half-brother who had caused the death of her family, she quietly gripped the hilt of a knife. As if making a firm decision, she took advantage of the moment when everyone was unprepared and lunged at Chris…
