Chapter 360 Have a Way to Let Her Confess the Truth âAunt Dana, it seems that you are living well after marrying into the Songo family. What you said was totally different from your past life.â
Dana suddenly understood Ceceliaâs words.
Ceceliaâs words revealed Danaâs unpleasant past. The thing that made her most embarrassed was that she had been a bar girl when she was young.
But no one in the Songo family dared to talk about her. The only one who could slander her was Fiona.
Dana glanced at Cecelia, then turned to glare at Fiona.
However, Fiona didnât tell Cecelia this. Seeing Dana glare at her, she asked. âWhy are you looking at me? What Cecelia said makes sense, and it has nothing to do with whether you live in a noble family or not.â
âYou know what, you just who you are, it always makes sense.â
Dana was about to go mad. She complained to her dad. âDad, did you listen to what she said?â
âEnough!â
Alfred patted the table, calming everyone in the room.
He stood up from his position, walked out with his cane, and said to Cecelia. âCecelia, come with me!â
Cecelia followed Alfred out. Mizey comforted her mother. âMom, donât be angry. Grandpa will blame her and train her well.â
Following Alfred, Cecelia came to his study.
The study was very grand, the decoration was simple and elegant inside. There were many classics on the bookshelves. There were exquisite tea ceremony utensils on the reception table in the study.
The furniture in the room was also made of fine rosewood and yellow pear wood.
Cecelia closed the door after entering the room. Alfred sat down on the grand masterâs chair in front of the reception table and invited Cecelia to sit across from him.
âI know you have a lot of questions about your grandma. Let me talk to you slowly.â
The old man started to make tea. Seeing that the old manâs hands were shaking, Cecelia took it and started making tea neatly.
Seeing that she was familiar with the tea ceremony, Alfredâs eyes showed a hint of approval. When the tea was placed in front of him, he nodded with satisfaction.
After taking a sip of the fragrant tea, Alfred began to talk.
âIâm your grandmaâs cousin, a few years older than her. We grew up and played together when we were kids.â
âYour grandma and I have been close friends since childhood. No matter what happens, I will protect her and wonât let outsiders bully her.â
Listening to Alfred Songoâs description, Cecelia didnât completely believe it and then asked. âSince you have such a good relationship, why did my grandma leave the Songo family? How could she disappear?â
Alfred looked at Cecelia and took a deep breath. âCecelia, havenât you understood yet that your grandmother didnât disappear, but ran away from home?â
âRun away from home?â
âWell, after she grew into a young girl in her early twenties, the Songo family could have arranged a good marriage for her, but she secretly fell for someone else. She even eloped with that person in order to escape from the marriage.â
âThe Songo family is a prominent family in Porema. It is impossible to publicize that she eloped. In order to restore our reputation, we announced that she was missing.â
âSince my great-uncle said she eloped, then who did she run away with?â
âI suspect it was your grandpa. Maybe your grandpa deceived your grandma.â
Cecelia couldnât agree with Alfredâs statement. From her understanding, her grandmother did not elope with someone and then settle in the Cathail Republic.
It was her grandfather Allen who accidentally rescued her injured grandmother and took good care of her. Grandma fell in love with her grandfather and eventually married her.
If her grandma really ran away with another man, how could the Songo family not continue the investigation to find her grandma and bring her back to the Songo family?
âMy grandfather Allen Don is also very famous in the Cathail Republic. How could he abduct a girl from a noble family?â
âMoreover, my grandpa and grandma were murdered many years ago and died tragically at home.
You should be very aware of this, right?â
Cecelia stared into Alfredâs eyes. His aging eyes could not conceal a scheming streak.
âReally? I donât know about this, and I donât know who your grandmother married. Was it Allen Don? I have heard of this person! What a pity for Cassie! She made the wrong choice, and her life was ruined!â
Alfred was cunning.
Cecelia could not find any flaw in his words.
Even though Cecelia could see through his lies, still needed to inquire from other places if she wanted to find the truth.
Knowing that she couldnât get anything from Alfredâs words, Cecelia gave up this topic and asked.
âUncle, do you still have old photo albums related to my grandma? I want to see it!â
âThere is indeed one here. Wait a moment please, Iâll take it to you.â
Alfred stood up, and walked to a cabinet next to him. And then he took out a photo album from the cabinet and handed it to Cecelia.
Alfred took it and saw from the yellowed and old cover and paper that it was an antique photo album that had aged well.
Opening it carefully, Cecelia saw some photos, most of which were black and white.
âIs this little boy is you?â
âThatâs right.â
âThen this girl with braids must be my grandmother.â
âYes.â
Looking through the photo album, Cecelia could see that her grandmother has been a beauty since she was a child.
Seeing the old photos of her grandmother when she was a girl, Cecelia has a familiar feeling. After all, she and her mother both took after their grandmotherâs appearance.
Cecelia stayed in the study reading photo albums, while Mizey and her mother came nearby outside.
They all wanted to see how Alfred taught Cecelia a lesson, but there was no movement in the room.
Dana was afraid of disturbing the old man and letting him know, so she said. âItâs better to leave and back to the banquet now! Donât make your father unhappy.â
Mizey followed her mother for a short distance, looked around and said in a low voice. âMom, we canât just let it go. If we just give in, she might even do everything worst! She doesnât even take you seriously!â
âShe has your fatherâs support, what can we do?â
âMom, letâs not do it ourselves, we can do this by other ways.â
She didnât say her plan loud.
Mizey whispered into her motherâs ear.
After hearing this, Dana showed a proud smile and said. âThis is a good idea. It canât be blamed on us anyway.â
âYes, Mom, letâs go now. I have a way to let her confess the truth.â
After persuading Dana to leave, Mizey turned back. Not long after, she happened to meet Cecelia who had come out of the study.
âCecelia!â
Mizey stopped her, and Cecelia stopped at the same time and asked calmly. âWhatâs going on?â
âI will just forgive you, I am not going to be mad at the rule people.â
Mizey came to her. She folded her arms and walked around her, looking at her and said. âTell me the truth! You already planed for a long time to ruin the new product launch conference today, did you? Otherwise, how could you have Oliviaâs perfume? How do you know her?â
