    “It sounds like Dana.”


    “Go and check.”


    “Yes.”


    In the Songo family’s garden, Cecelia walked in, only to be blocked by Dana on her way.


    Dana, like a mad dog, attacked Cecelia as soon as she saw Cecelia. “Cecelia! I know everything now!


    You conspired with them to frame Chris and had him arrested by the police! You’re so ruthless! What


    exactly do you want?”


    “Dana, the fact that your husband is facing a murder charge is due to the evidence found by the police.


    It’s entirely legitimate. What does that have to do with me?”


    Cecelia had expected that Dana and others wouldn’t just let it go, but she was not afraid.


    “It’s clear that you and Fiona conspired together! Cecelia, have you ever looked back and seen what


    our family has be since you arrived at the Songo family? One disaster after another has befallen


    our family! People have died, and many have been harmed. Are you satisfied now? Have you achieved


    your goals?”


    Dana thought of her husband, son, and daughter being arrested, all because of Cecelia, and she


    couldn’t swallow her anger.


    Cecelia snorted, “The Songo family has ended up in this situation because of your own actions. If


    someonemits evil deeds, even the heavens won’t allow it. Your husband was so ruthless, and he


    even harmed his own half-sister. His actions have truly astounded me. Now that the truth hase to


    light, he should face the consequences. And you, as his wife, have likely encouraged and supported


    some of the things he did. You should also face the consequences!”


    After saying these words, Cecelia didn’t want to engage with Dana any further and walked past her.


    But Dana’s lingering resentment wouldn’t dissipate. She watched Cecelia walk away and then saw a


    nearby flowerpot on the ground.


    A surge of anger consumed her, driving her to act irrationally. She lifted the flowerpot and hurled it at


    Cecelia’s back.


    Johnson rushed out of the living room at that moment and witnessed the scene. He eximed, “Oh


    my!”


    Cecelia heard Johnson’s exmation and sensed the danger behind her. She quickly turned around


    and saw the flowerpot hurtling towards her.


    However, she didn’t dodge or evade because a figure had rushed over from the side to intercept the


    danger.


    Adam, who hade up behind, saw someone attacking his sister. He rushed forward at lightning


    speed and kicked the flowerpot away.


    Dana probably never dreamed that the flowerpot she had thrown would return on its original path and


    strike her in the face.


    With a loud “bang,” the flowerpot hit her face, and it fell to the ground, shattering into pieces.


    Dana copsed to the ground, her face covered in blood.


    Mariah came running from a distance and, seeing her mother lying on the ground with a bloody face,


    she screamed in shock, “Ah, Mom!”


    She looked up at Cecelia and the others, using them angrily, “It’s you! You killed my mother!


    Cecelia! It was you!”


    “I didn’t kill her,” Cecelia exined calmly, without a trace of emotion.


    “It’s either you or him! It’s you! I saw it! He used the flower vase to kill my mother!”


    Mariah was both terrified and horrified, screaming, “Help! Someone, help! There’s been a murder!


    Murder!”


    Her cries attracted many servants, who came running from all directions. They all saw Dana lying on


    the ground, covered in blood, and didn’t know if she was alive or dead.


    Some people tried to check Dana’s pulse and shouted, “She still has a heartbeat!”


    “Call an ambnce quickly!”


    “Call the police too!”


    The servants were all in a frenzy, and some had already dialed the phone.


    Soon, Johnson helped Alfred arrive at the scene. When Mariah saw her grandfather, she cried out,


    “Grandpa! You’vee at the right time! Cecelia… Cecelia killed my mother! Look, my mother is


    dying!”


    “That’s enough! Stop shouting! Do you think there isn’t enough trouble in the family already?”


    Alfred’s stern expression and a tap of his cane on the ground silenced Mariah. She didn’t dare to


    continue shouting, but she couldn’t understand why her grandfather was so indifferent to seeing their


    family members hurt.


    “I already know what just happened. Johnson saw the whole incident.”


    Alfred instructed the butler to exin what had transpired.


    Johnson said, “Dana, it was Dana who first confronted Miss Linsey, then lifted a flowerpot to hit her


    from behind. Miss Linsey’s people arrived in time and kicked the flowerpot, causing it to hit Dana


    instead.”


    From Johnson’s description, it was clear that Dana was the one who initiated the confrontation. If she


    hadn’t resorted to a sneak attack from behind, it wouldn’t have led to her being hit.


    What was this?


    This was like lifting a stone to smash one’s own foot!


    With Johnson’s testimony, Mariah couldn’t continue making a scene. She could only cry silently.What


    had happened made her desperate. Her husband was in jail, her sister-inw was sentenced to death,


    her father-inw was arrested, waiting to be prisoned, her great-aunt passed away, and even her


    mother-inw was seriously injured.What in front of the first branch family was a dead end!


    But she quickly straightened out her mind. She was still young, so there was no need to waste her


    prime time here. After it was over, she would divorce Warda and left the Songo family.Not before long,


    the ambnce arrived at the Songo’s residence and carried the seriously injured Dana away, with


    Mariah following behind.Seeing that the crowd had dispersed, Alfred turned to Cecelia. “Cecelia,e


    here.”


    Cecelia exchanged a nce with Adam and followed Alfred into the study.


    Once in the study, Cecelia saw Alfred sitting in his high-backed chair, his face dark with suppressed


    anger. Without saying a word, he tapped his cane on the ground with a “snap.”


    “Cecelia, can’t you stop now? Can you give the Songo family a way out?”


    Alfred had understood by now that Cecelia was seeking revenge on the Songo family, and all the


    trouble had started because of her. He didn’t want to see more family members facing difficulties. He


    didn’t want the family legacy he had preserved to be ruined.


    “Alfred, do you really think that I’ve done all of this?”


    “Isn’t it?”


    Alfred raised his chin slightly, his gaze cold and narrowed. “I know you came here for the sake of your


    grandmother. I don’t know what your grandmother told you, but the past is already in the past. Don’t


    keep harming the innocent. Do you need the Songo family to be ruined, and people to die, before


    you’re satisfied?”


    “Alfred, do you really think that everything from the past can be left behind? Do you think I’ve been


    harming the innocent all along?”


    Cecelia’s gaze turned as cold as ice. “Just now, thanks to the testimony of Johnson, otherwise, you


    might have thought it was me who harmed Dana. But the truth is, which one of them is innocent? Your


    own descendants weren’t raised properly; they are all driven by greed andmit crimes. How can


    you me all this on me?


    “Good deeds result in good oues, and evil deeds result in evil oues. Your descendants are


    suffering from their evil deeds, and that’s because you and your fathermitted too many evil


    acts.””With your hands full of blood, how could they be innocent?”


    After delivering this resolute statement, Cecelia turned around. “If you want me to give the Songo


    family a way out, then I want you to promise me one thing!”


    “What is it?”
