Chapter 387 Her Intentional Instigation
"None. Just go ahead with your plan!"
Benson wanted to see if she was truly capable of achieving his goals.
"Alright, then that's it..."
Then, Cecelia detailed her specific plans to Benson, listing the preparations he needed to make in advance.
"That sums up my plan. Please prepare everything as per my specifications."
"No problem."
After they reached a mutual agreement, Cecelia and her companions left.
Benson tried to extend an invitation. "Niece, won't you and Mr. Nelson stay for a quick meal?"
"No need. I have other matters to attend to. See you tomorrow!"
As Cecelia and her group left, they still had meetings scheduled with other shareholders. With lots of preparations ahead and limited time, they had to be efficient.
After meeting with several small shareholders, Cecelia successfully acquired their shares on behalf of the LC Group. The accumulated shares in hand were now close to 30%.
She contacted Upton and instructed, "Upton, under LC's name, start preparing for the acquisition of the Songo Group. Wait for my command."
"Understood!"
Upon receiving the documents, Upton began making arrangements immediately.
Everything was going according to Cecelia's plan. After making these preparations, all she needed to do was wait for the Songo family's birthday banquet the next day.
On the morning of the banquet.
The Songo family was adorned with lights and decorations. A stage was set up outside, where a theater troupe was performing. Many locals were drawn to watch the performance.
There was also a dance team, and performers waited outside. Many playful children ran around laughing and playing.
The festive atmosphere showcased the Songo family's grandeur.
Around 10 am, guests began to arrive, and various luxury cars were parked in the Songo family's parking lot.
Male and female guests, dressed in fine clothes and holding invitations, were verified and entered the Songo's residence.
In the largest banquet hall at the Songo's mansion, most of the Songo family members were present. Chris and his wife, Dana, were in charge of greeting the guests.
Chris' brothers, and sisters, Anna Songo and Luna Songo, along with Kai Songo and Bowin Songo, the fifth son and the sixth from the second wife of Master Songo, were all present to help.
Warda, the eldest grandson, was there with his wife Mariah, their daughter Mizey, and other descendants of the Songo family.
Upon arrival, guests were warmly received, and the venue was buzzing with greetings.
"The birthday star is here!"
Someone shouted, and everyone turned to see Edwin supporting the elderly Alfred from the inner house.
The 88-year-old man, dressed in a dark red traditional suit, looked dignified. His neatly combed white hair gave an impression of youthful vigor despite his age.
Following him was his wife, Carol, dressed in a dark blue cheongsam, exuding elegance and sophistication. She was very much the lady of the house.
The elderly couple took their seats at the high table in the main hall with a high ceiling.
The early guests congratulated Alfred on his longevity.
"Master Songo, may you have a long and prosperous life!"
"Master Songo, wishing you endless happiness and longevity!"
