Chapter 412

Chapter 412 The Truth Finally Revealed Cecelia acted swiftly and, when Fiona lunged at Chris, she noticed in time and grabbed her wrist.

“Fiona, don’t do anything foolish!”

Cecelia advised, “He has committed numerous crimes, and he will face the legal consequences he deserves. You don’t need to bear the guilt for a person like him.”

The fruit knife in Fiona’s hand was taken away, but she sobbed in deep grief, pointing at Chris and cursing him vehemently.

“You beast! I took you as my big brother! We share the same father, and yet, you were so ruthless as to take my life for the sake of power.”

“You killed my husband and son, along with the lives of over ten people from the Laytons. How can you live with a clear conscience?”

In a fit of despair, Fiona pounded her chest and cried in agony.

The other brothers of the Songo family couldn’t bear to watch any longer. Anna, looking at her elder brother, asked in disbelief, “Big brother, you caused the Laytons fire? How could you be so cruel?”

Even the sixth brother, the Songo family Bowen, was extremely surprised. “Chris, why did you act so ruthlessly towards Fiona?”

“Chris, how could you do something like this?”

One by one, Chris’ brothers expressed their extreme disappointment in him. He couldn’t muster any words of rebuttal at this moment and sat on the ground, overwhelmed by terror, almost suffocating.

After she cried for a while, Fiona’s intense hatred couldn’t dissipate. She couldn’t personally kill the devil, but she wouldn’t let him off easily either.

She rushed towards Chris, disregarding everything, and grabbed his head, biting his ear.

“Ah-“

Chris cried out in pain, letting out a shrill scream.

“Ah… Help… Help… Ah…”

The screams continued.

Fiona seemed to have gone mad, biting him fiercely with overwhelming anger and hatred.

In the end, Anna and the others stepped in, pulling Fiona away. When Fiona was separated from him, her mouth was covered in blood.

Chris’ left ear had been bitten off, and he reached for it, only to find his hand covered in blood.

His ear was gone, and the pain was excruciating, causing Chris to scream in agony.

Fiona spat out the blood from her mouth, and Chris tried to snatch his ear back, but Fiona stepped on it fiercely, shattering it.

Watching Chris, covered in blood, Fiona burst into manic laughter, “Hahaha…”

She had finally avenged her husband, her son, and her in-laws!

The truth of the five-year-old bloodshed was finally revealed!

The scene descended into chaos, and the Songo family were in disarray. Cecelia and Adam stood by, watching coldly, while the other shareholders also observed the commotion.

This bloody spectacle left everyone sighing with emotion.

Who would believe that siblings could reach such an extreme level of conflict?

As they dragged Fiona away, another group of people arrived at the conference center.

Police officers in uniform, with their badges and Mr. Boris leading the way, presented their credentials.

“Chris! We’ve received a tip-off and suspect your involvement in the Laytons arson case from five years ago. Please come with us for questioning!”

The cold handcuffs were fastened around Chris’s wrists, and then the police took the wailing Chris away from the conference center.

Mr. Boris and Cecelia nodded and left with their team.

Subsequently, Fiona was also escorted out by her brothers from the Songo family, and the janitorial staff arrived to clean up the scene.

The ear that had been bitten off by Fiona and stomped into pieces was also disposed of in a trash bin.

The scene finally quieted down, and Cecelia returned to her position.

“Ladies and gentlemen, as you all have witnessed, the Songo Group’s Chairman Chris is suspected of arson and murder and has been taken into custody by the authorities. Next, the Songo Group will need to select a new CEO to take over the company. I recommend Mr. Spencer to take on this role. Does anyone have any objections?”

Elliot from Seyben Group had not expected to be nominated by the behind-the-scenes owner, and he felt pleasantly surprised.

The other minority shareholders also didn’t object and nodded in agreement.

Currently, aside from Chris, who still held a 20% stake in the company, Cecelia was undoubtedly the largest shareholder with decision-making power. So, her choice of Elliot as the CEO was met without any objections.

“No objections!”

“Miss Linsey, we have no objections!”

“Very well! It’s settled then! Let’s hear from Mr. Spencer!”

Cecelia led the applause, and Elliot, standing at the main position, made an emotional speech.

“Thank you for your generous support, Miss Linsey, and thank you to all the shareholders. I will take on the responsibility of leading the Songo Group in the future, and I promise not to let Miss Linsey down. I will also work together with the Songo Group and all the shareholders to achieve mutual prosperity!”

The applause was thunderous, and the change in the Songo Group’s executive leadership was successfully completed.

Under Cecelia’s leadership, with Elliot representing the Songo Group, negotiations would continue with the LC Group representatives regarding the Songo Group’s acquisition and merger.

The news of Chris’ arrest quickly made it to the headlines, and there was no way to keep it under wraps.

Media reporters had received advance notice and were waiting downstairs. When Chris was brought out of the Songo Group by the police, these reporters swarmed in to capture the latest information.

“#Chris Suspected Arson And Murder#”

“#the Layton family Arson Truth Behind The Scenes#”

These and other related headlines quickly trended on social media, once again shocking the entire city.

Previously, the news about Warda and Mizey, the siblings, had slightly subsided, especially after the Songo family had held two funeral ceremonies in a single day, creating a significant buzz.

But now, with Chris, the head of the Songo family, following closely behind, the online community was in an uproar.

[What’s going on with the Songo family? One thing after another?]

[Chris, Warda, Mizey, none of them are good people!]

[The Laytons arson was actually orchestrated by him. It’s terrifying. He didn’t spare even his own sister!]

[What other secrets does the Songo family have that haven’t been revealed? We’ll be watching and enjoying the show!]

The news also reached the Songo family, and upon hearing it, Alfred was shocked, and even the purple clay teapot in his hand fell to the ground, shattering.

“What? Chris has been arrested?”

Alfred had already realized the gravity of the situation and felt the looming sense of dread.

Johnson reported, “Master, young master has been arrested due to suspicion of arson and murder.”

“Arson and murder? You mean the Laytons…”

Alfred couldn’t fail to connect the dots, especially since his fourth daughter, when she was suffering from madness, had always claimed that Chris and the others were responsible. Could it all be true?

“Yes, it’s because of the Laytons. The arsonist, Brett, who was responsible for the arson, has turned himself in to the police. He has reported all the details of how the young master was involved in orchestrating the arson.”

Hearing this, Alfred angrily slammed the table, resenting his elder son’s ruthlessness and feeling deep sorrow for his fourth daughter.

“So it was all true! For so many years… Poor Fiona.”

As he was lamenting, he heard a sharp argument coming from outside. “What’s happening outside?”
