Chapter 355 Cecelia Deals a Harsh Blow to the Songo Siblings
“She is Cecelia! The former wife of Mr. Remington Nelson, the newly appointed Global CEO of Sierra International! Hailing from the Cathail Republic!” Among the journalists in the audience, some astute ones suddenly recalled that she was Cecelia Linsey, the former wife who had been publicly proposed to by the new Global CEO of Sierra International. They searched for news photos to confirm their findings. Cecelia’s identity was revealed, and the title of Remington caused an immediate stir. Although people were not familiar with Cecelia, everyone knew about Sierra International, the Cathail Republic’s Nelson Group, and Remington Nelson, the man in charge of the Nelson family. She was indeed Mr. Nelson’s former wife! However, nobody knew that the renowned Remington stood right next to his ex-wife and before them at this moment, quietly acting as her protector. Warda and Mizey were shocked. Warda said, “We Songos have never had any contact with the Nelson family. Miss Linsey, why did you come here to disrupt the event?” “Do you think I am causing disruption?” Cecelia scoffed, “I’m merely setting things right and exposing the fake! You’ve been using the name of the Songo Dyehouse to deceive the public with counterfeit Fragrant Clothes.” Mizey retorted angrily, “Regardless of what we are doing, it’s not your place as an outsider to interfere!” “Outsider?” Cecelia’s icy gaze swept across the entire room. With a sense of pride and righteousness, she officially announced her identity, “My maternal grandmother is the true heir of the Songo Dyehouse, Cassie Blake! “Should my status as Cassie Blake’s granddaughter make me an outsider?” Cecelia suddenly mentioned Cassie Blake’s name, and the crowd erupted in discussion once again. “She’s Cassie Blake’s granddaughter?”
“Cassie Blake is the true heir of the Songo Dyehouse!” “It’s said that she disappeared suddenly over sixty years ago and her whereabouts remain unknown! Who would have thought that Cecelia Linsey is her granddaughter!” “She must have received the true inheritance from Cassie Blake. Otherwise, how could she have such a deep understanding of Songo Fragrant Clothes?” Bringing up Cassie Blake turned the event into a complete public expose. Warda and Mizey were left speechless and dazed and couldn’t think straight for a long while. Regaining her composure, Mizey pointed at Cecelia and said, “How is that possible? How can you be Cassie Blake’s granddaughter? What proof do you have? You’re just making unfounded claims, and who can believe you?” Cecelia had anticipated their rebuttal. She slowly raised a jade pendant to the audience, declaring, “Everyone, take a look! This is the Songo family’s heirloom jade pendant, only passed down to the Songo family’s descendants! My grandmother passed this jade pendant to my mother, and my mother passed it on to me. This is the best proof!” Everyone could see the jade pendant! With a close look, they could see the large cloud pattern in the center, surrounded by two words in old calligraphy: ‘Songo Dyehouse.’ For anyone who had conducted even a little research on the Songo family’s history, the legend and introduction of this jade pendant could be found in the ‘Porema Chronicle.’ After presenting this evidence, Cecelia turned her gaze to Warda and Mizey, challenging them, “If you still doubt the authenticity of this jade pendant, you are welcome to invite the most professional antique appraiser to conduct an on-site evaluation to confirm whether I am telling the truth!” A voice in the audience spoke up, “There is an antique appraisal expert present. Master Jason Warhol is here today!” “Very well! Let’s invite Master Jason Warhol to evaluate the spot!” Cecelia made the request, and Jason Warhol was nominated by the crowd. He walked onto the stage and used his appraisal tools to examine Cecelia’s heirloom jade pendant.
After a detailed evaluation, Jason’s eyes gleamed with excitement. “Exceptional jade! This is a high- quality piece of jade! It is indeed the Songo family’s heirloom jade pendant, no doubt about it!” Master Jason Warhol’s assessment left no room for doubt. Cecelia’s identity was now confirmed, and everything she had done today seemed legitimate and just. It was time for Cecelia to counterattack! She looked at the Songo siblings and questioned them, “Mr. Songo, Ms. Songo, now that my identity has been verified, I would like to ask both of you: What was the purpose of hosting this new product launch event for Songo Fragrant Clothes before you had successfully developed the product?” Warda was unable to answer. He couldn’t tell everyone that they organized this event to artificially inflate Songo’s stock price, manipulate the stock, and profit from it. At this point, Mizey had no choice but to protect her brother, like a pawn in the chess to protect the king, because he was the CEO of the Songo Group. “It was my idea! I only wanted to revive Songo Fragrant Clothes, but you know that developing Fragrant Clothes is no easy task!” Mizey took full responsibility, unapologetically insisting that she had done the right thing. “Deceit and confusion! Is this the attitude you should have as the COO of the Songo Group? Rather than promoting Songo Fragrant Clothes, you were using this as an opportunity for speculation and personal gain!” Cecelia pointed out her transgressions directly and requested, “Now that you represent the Songo family, you should offer a public apology to society and everyone here!” Cecelia’s words were logical and strong, giving people a sense of integrity and righteousness. This was the attitude expected of a Songo family heir! Cecelia’s unwavering rectitude and relentless pursuit of the truth turned the product launch event into a press conference to expose wrongdoing. All the guests and journalists stayed to watch, eagerly anticipating the confrontation between the two sides. They believed that the news would be far more exciting than a standard product launch.
Mizey and Warda exchanged glances. Mizey, feeling cornered by Cecelia, knew that unless she publicly apologized, Cecelia might continue to press her. With no other choice at this point, Mizey swallowed her resentment and bowed deeply to the audience. “I’m sorry!” She raised her head, with tears brimming in her eyes, and apologized officially, “I’m sorry! Today’s events were the result of my actions, and I didn’t foresee the consequences. I made the wrong choice. “I have also brought negative consequences to the Songo Group. Therefore, I sincerely apologize to the broader community and the public. “In the future, we at Songo will strengthen our oversight and be more responsible, without any more deceit or manipulation of the public!” Mizey bowed again deeply, and the journalists and media present began to take photos and record her statement. The necessary actions had been taken, and those who needed to apologize had done so. Warda concluded, “My sincere apology! As the CEO of this company, I bear a share of the responsibility for the significant mishap we experienced today. “I would like to extend my apologies to all the guests and the public!” After the two officers of the Songo Group apologized, the New Product Launch came to a close. All the guests and journalists gradually left the venue, leaving behind only the Songo family members and Cecelia. Mizey, holding back her anger, glared at Cecelia with a hateful expression and led her team out first. Warda approached Cecelia and said, “Miss Cecelia, now that you’re Cassie Blake’s granddaughter, we’re relatives. If my grandfather knew you were back, he would surely be delighted. Why don’t you come with me to visit the Songo family?”
