Chapter 409 True Colors Revealed at Last

With measured footsteps approaching, Chris turned to see a group of bodyguards entering the room.

As they parted, a tall figure emerged through the door.

Cecelia, dressed elegantly in a black long-sleeved gown, her clear and piercing eyes set off by her chestnut, naturally cascading curls that draped behind her. She wore two tassel earrings, which added an air of dominance to her already striking presence.

She appeared like a queen descended from the throne, her captivating features exuding arrogance, confidence, and an untamed fierceness.

Chris felt a chilling surge of blood rushing through his body at her elegant entrance as if an icy wind had blown through his core and spread rapidly to his limbs and extremities.

"Cecelia, you... you..."

Words couldn't adequately describe the fear and panic that overcame him at that moment. It was more than disbelief; it was horror.

How could Cecelia become the silent mastermind behind Seyben Group?

When had she achieved such a feat without any of them hearing a whisper?

"How can you possibly be the mastermind behind Seyben Group? How is that even possible?"

Chris confronted her, forcing Cecelia to halt her advance.

In response to his questions, Cecelia replied coldly, "What's impossible? As long as I will it, there's nothing that can't be done!"

Chris's anger was apparent, and he pointed his finger at her, "So, your true colors are finally revealed. Your intentions go beyond just Songo Dyehouse; now you want a piece of the Songo Group as well."

"Mr. Songo, don't be quick to paint me as the villain. My presence in the Songo Group is intended to save it," Cecelia retorted, sweeping her gaze across the room. "Look at the state of the Songo Group. Without my intervention, you, Chris, would be incapable of managing this crisis."

"Cut the act! Don't think I don't know what's going on in your mind. From the moment you returned to the Songo family, your goal has been to claim the Songo Group. Your true intentions are laid bare!" Chris's face, contorted by anger that even made him lose his decency, locked onto Cecelia as though he was confronting an enemy.

"Whatever you think, Chris. But we're here for a meeting. Let's proceed."

Cecelia wasn't in a rush to counter his accusations. Instead, she walked towards the conference table, where Seyben Group's CEO, Elliot Spencer, had been seated, occupying the position reserved for the largest shareholder.

Elliot Spencer rose from his seat and politely gestured for Cecelia to sit.

He positioned himself as a subordinate, standing behind Cecelia without any hint of resentment.

This display left Chris incredulous. He began to question whether Cecelia had employed improper means to win over Elliot Spencer.

After all, her charm and beauty could easily overpower any man, and Chris wondered if she had taken advantage of Spencer.

Calming down, Chris reassured himself that even if Cecelia had become the mastermind of Seyben Group, her 20% stake was no match for the combined power of the Songo family's shares. Their position was still secure.

Reigning in his anger, Chris returned to his seat at the head of the table and fixed his gaze on Cecelia. "Very well, the change in Seyben Group's ownership is an internal matter for Seyben, but it won't affect the Songo Group's development."

Chris engaged in a discussion about the current state of the Songo Group. Cecelia then inquired, "Chris, given the current situation where Songo Group's market value has significantly declined, what plans do you have to remedy it?"

"We've been in discussions with potential investors who have expressed interest in the past. By securing additional investments, we can turn the tide and overcome the crisis that Songo Group is facing." "But how do you plan to address the LC Group's acquisition attempt?" Cecelia tossed the question to him in the biggest shareholder's tone.

Chris guaranteed, "An acquisition is out of the question! The Songo Group will not approve the resolution. Currently, we hold a controlling interest of 51%, and as long as we all oppose it, the acquisition will not proceed."

"Is that so?" Cecelia crossed her arms. "But wouldn't you agree that it's crucial to determine if other Songo shareholders support your stance? You can only represent your interests, not those of the entire Songo family."

Cecelia turned her gaze towards the other Songo family members sitting across from her, prompting Chris to do the same.

In principle, in the face of an external crisis, the Songo family should stand united.

This had been Alfred Songo's rule, and all members of the Songo family should abide by it. Chris had always believed that their family unity was unbreakable.

However, Fiona, his fourth sister, had always been at odds with him.

When their eyes met, Fiona smiled, "Don't look at me, Chris. I don't hold any shares. I have nothing to lose, and I'm just here to enjoy the show."

Fiona's comment set off a metaphorical explosion.

Chris stared at her, unable to believe what he had just heard. "What did you just say? How can it be possible? You are supposed to have 5% of the shares!" "Oh, I forgot to tell you. These days, the Songo Group's stock has plummeted, and I don't think my shares are worth much. So, I sold them." "You sold them?"

Chris couldn't trust his ears. Fiona added, "Not only me. Ask Bruce; he sold his shares too. We all sold at a pretty good price!"

Fiona didn't specify, but she hadn't sold her shares; she had given them to Cecelia.

She was trading her shares for Cecelia's help in seeking vengeance.

Chris, in shock, looked at his younger brother, Bruce, "Bruce, is what she said true? What about your shares?"

"I'm sorry, Chris, but I didn't want my shares to turn into worthless paper, so someone offered me a great price for them, and I sold them."

Chris felt like a dagger was being driven into his heart by his brother.

He wouldn't care about what anyone else would do to their shares, but his brother was supposed to be more clever and grabbed those shares tightly!

"I'm so sorry, alright? And I'm not the only one who did this. our other brothers have sold their shares!"

These further words were like following daggers being stabbed into Chris' back.

He felt like his heart stopped pulping at this moment.

"What about you, Kai, Bowin? Did you also...?"

Kai and Bowin lowered their heads, and the latter replied, "Chris, don't blame us. There have been rumors that the Songo Group is on the verge of collapsing. If it does, our shares will become worthless, and we might even be held accountable for repaying debts. To avoid any risks, we had to get rid of our shares."

"Oh, you foolish lot!"

Chris was infuriated and pounded his chest. The rumors from the outside world had trapped them all. He had thought his family would stand together, but now, one by one, they seemed to be conspiring agains him.

"You... all of you have violated our father's rules. How do you intend to explain this to him?"

Chris's anger had reached a boiling point, and he turned his angry gaze toward his siblings, asking, "Who purchased your shares? To whom did you sell them?"
