Chapter 411


    Chapter 411 Unchangeable


    The people in the family tree were still the same as before; the only thing that had changed was the


    rtionships 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 rtionship, but a foster son is what we


    call a godson and does not have a legal rtionship.


    “Jackson is Edmond’s adopted godson, taking the Songo family name but having no blood rtionship


    with Edmond.


    “So, I’d like to ask Mr. Songo, with no blood rtionship, what right do you have to talk about


    inheritance?”


    Chris saw Cecelia expose this, and he was on the verge of copse. 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 seed!”


    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 waspletely 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 ident; 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 rted 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 exined, and Cecelia continued, “I have evidence!”


    Everyone turned their attention to Cecelia, and she exined, “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.N?velDrama.Org: owner of this content.


    “But Brett’s greed was insatiable, and he continued to ckmail Chris, leading Chris to contemte


    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 coldugh.


    “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 ce! I have the evidence you most want to destroy. Let’s all


    listen together.”


    Cecelia yed 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 session 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…
