Chapter 401 Confrontation âGreat-aunt, you donât recuperate in peace, constantly overthinking and being suspicious of everything.
Itâs not good for you,â Cecelia âkindlyâ advised.
âShut up! Do you think I donât know what kind of ill intentions you have?â Carol said angrily.
Anisa spoke up for Cecelia, âYou misunderstand Cecelia. How could she have any ill intentions? On the contrary, I think Cecelia is a good girl!â
âHumphâ¦â
Carol sneered. In her eyes, she believed that Cecelia and Anisa were birds of a feather.
Neither of them were good people!
âCarol, youâve been in the hospital for a few days, so you donât know what happened at home, right?â
Anisa asked.
Seeing Carolâs skeptical eyes, Anisa continued, âI guess no one has told you yet. They are all keeping it from you!â
âWhat exactly happened? What have you done?â
Carol couldnât bear it anymore and asked.
âI didnât do anything, but someone in your branch did something outrageous. Your grandson Warda lost his mind and raped a girl a few days ago, and he has been detained by the police.â
âWhat? Has Warda been arrested?â
Carol sat up directly from the bed, unable to believe it. She turned to Cecelia for confirmation. âIs what she said true?â
Cecelia nodded. âYes, Warda has been arrested. The evidence this time is solid, so he might very well go to jail!â
âWhat? How could this happen?â
Carol pounded the bed in anger, and Anisa added, âDonât worry, Carol. I havenât finished speaking yet!
Not only did your grandson get into trouble, but your granddaughter also did.â
âDo you mean Queenie? What happened to her?â
âQueenie ordered Sam, the servant, to kill Daisy and frame Cecelia. Sam has already confessed, and she has been arrested by the police on charges of murder.â
After Anisa finished speaking, she sighed and said, âAlas, I didnât expect this. How could they do such crazy and heartless things? Carol, is this how you taught your grandchildren?â
Carol was truly angered, and her blood pressure skyrocketed.
âItâs impossible! My grandchildren wouldnât do such things. Itâs all your false accusations. I wonât believe a word from you!â
âCecelia, since Carol doesnât believe it, show her the newspaper!â
After Anisa finished speaking, Cecelia handed over the newspaper.
Carol read the contents of the newspaper, shocked and stunned. She looked up again and yelled angrily, âItâs you! Itâs you who conspired together to harm my grandchildren! Especially you, Cecelia! I know itâs all your sinister plot!
âFirst, you helped her enter the Songo family, and then you started targeting the people in our first branch. Itâs all part of your plan!â
Carol cursed with resentment and hatred and glared at Cecelia. Cecelia remained calm and did not respond.
Anisa said, âCarol, our matters have nothing to do with Cecelia. It was my intention to enter the Songo family, and I did what I said I would do. Although you tormented me and made things difficult for me, I succeeded in the end!â
Anisa patted her leg. âCarol, do you remember what happened back then? Do you remember how you persecuted me? That rainy night, you had someone break my legs, leaving me permanently disabled.â
âMy son and I almost lost our lives. I have been living in pain and despair since then. But I held on for all these years just to wait for this day!â
âYou wish for my death, but I must live! As long as youâre alive, I wonât die!â
Anisa came to seek revenge on Carol. For so many years, she had been driven by her belief in revenge, supporting her disabled body.
Now, she wanted to witness the destruction of the Songo family with her own eyes before she could let go of the anger in her heart!
âGet out! I donât want to see you!â
Carol didnât want to say much to Anisa. She didnât want to see Anisaâs face which was many times younger than hers.
âI will leave, but before I go, I have to inform you that the Songo family has already split since I arrived.â
âWhat? Split? How?â
Carol looked shocked. She didnât even know about the split. No one had ever informed her!
What she cared about was how the split was done, and whether Alfred favored Anisa and her son with the division of assets.
Anisa remained silent, and Cecelia answered on her behalf, âGreat-aunt, Great-uncle has divided the Songo family into four. The second and third branches have moved out of the old Songo family residence and live outside. The remaining old residence has been divided in half between you and my Fourth Great-auntâs family, and you each take one courtyard. Great-uncle didnât hurt the interests of your first branch. He just gave all his shares to my Fourth Great-aunt and little Uncle. Quite fair, right?â
âFair? Go to hell! It was you who instigated Alfred to do that and drive out the second and third branches. Do you want to be on an equal footing with me? Just forget about itâ¦â
Carol was too angry, feeling a nauseating sensation rising in her throat. Suddenly, she spat out a mouthful of blood, splattering it on the newspaper.
Carol, who spat blood again, blacked out and fell back onto the bed.
Anisa had achieved her goal. She sneered as she wheeled away.
Cecelia went to the door and informed the servants outside, âHurry up and call the doctor! Great-aunt has fainted after spitting blood!â
The servants hurried to find the doctor, while Cecelia pushed Anisa out of the hospital.
â¦â¦
Two scandals involving the Songo family intertwined, leaving Chris in a state of panic.
Knowing that his father asked him to go home, he had to hurry back.
Upon seeing Chris, Alfred didnât say a word and directly slapped him.
âDad!â
âSuch a big thing has happened at home. Till when were you planning to hide it from me? Huh?â
Alfred was extremely angry, filled with rage.
âDad, I am currently handling Warda and Queenieâs matter. Please trust me. I will handle it well and not let it tarnish the Songo family.â Chris explained desperately.
âHow are you going to handle it? Like this?â
Alfred had Johnson play a video news clip. The news exposed that Daniel, under Chrisâs instruction, brought money to negotiate with the Flores family, attempting to buy them off and make them withdraw their accusations.
Danielâs words indirectly confirmed the incident last year. Warda forcibly slept with Rosa after getting drunk, instead of Rosa seducing him.
The Songo family gave 10 thousand dollars as hush money, and the same thing happened again this year, trying to settle it with 40 thousand dollars.
One could imagine how angry Alfred was after learning the truth. âHow did Warda explain last yearâs incident? He said Rosa seduced him first. Because of that, I didnât bother to investigate and drove Zoila out of the Songo family.
âIt turns out it was Wardaâs despicable act. He used 10 thousand dollars to silence them, covering up the truth. But now he has knowingly committed the same mistake, trying to buy his way out with 40 thousand dollars?
âThis despicable b*stard has brought shame to our Songo family and tarnished my reputation!
âAnd you, what kind of useless solution did you come up with? Now everyone knows about it. Do you know how much impact this will have on our Songo family? Iâm pissed off!â
âDad! Please calm down! Donât let it affect your health! There is another hidden truth to this matter. Itâs not Wardaâs fault. Itâs Cecelia whoâs scheming behind the scenes!â
âCecelia?â
Just as he said that, Cecelia pushed Anisa into the room. Seeing her, Chris said, âDad, Cecelia is back.
Why donât you ask her in front of everyone?â
