Chapter 388 The Long-lost Son Returns

Cecelia looked at Mizey and responded in a praising tone, "Mizey, your gift is truly lavish! Everyone else has brought various precious gifts, so I won't be joining the bandwagon. I've prepared a special gift for my great uncle!"

"What special gift?"

Mizey doubted what trick Cecelia was about to play.

With a teasing tone, Cecelia said, "This is a gift that none of you could buy with money!"

Everyone's interest was piqued. Edwin curiously asked, "Cecelia, what did you prepare? Are you going to perform a song or dance for grandpa?"

If she were to perform, the male guests would certainly look forward to it.

"That's not it."

"What is it then? Show us!" urged Mizey.

"I planned to reveal it at the end of the banquet. The time hasn't come yet."

Cecelia aroused everyone's curiosity but didn't rush to reveal her surprise. Mizey rolled her eyes and mocked, "Always playing mysterious!"

The banquet was held in the Songo family's Scenic Hall, with dozens of tables set up.

Chris took the stage to deliver his speech. He began by thanking guests from all walks of life for attending his father's 88th birthday celebration. He then spoke about the development history of the Songo family, and finally urged the guests to enjoy the feast and drinks.

Alfred was also asked to say a few words. Taking the microphone, he stood up and said, "Thank you, dear friends and fellow villagers, for gracing this occasion. Today marks my 88th birthday, and I hope that in the years to come, we will have more opportunities to gather together.

"Today, the Songo family has prepared some modest refreshments for everyone. We hope you all enjoy it!"

After Alfred delivered a speech and expressed his gratitude, the banquet officially began. Everyone raised their glasses in toast, and the atmosphere was lively.

As the banquet was nearing its end, Cecelia took the microphone and stepped onto the stage.

"Hello everyone, I'm Cecelia. Earlier at the banquet, I mentioned that I had a special gift for my great uncle to celebrate his 88th birthday. Now, it's time to reveal the gift!"

As she spoke, all eyes were on her. Mizey thought Cecelia would use any excuse to be the center of attention. "Her gift is just her tool to get attention. What can she possibly present?" Mizey thought.

Guests who had finished eating turned their attention to the stage, and those still eating paused to see what special gift Cecelia had prepared.

"The gift I've prepared for my great uncle is that I've found his long-lost son, who is also my younger uncle!"

The entire scene was in an uproar after Cecelia's statement.

Everyone was stunned!

The most shocked were the members of the Songo family. What did they just hear?

Cecelia said she found the long-lost son of Alfred?

Carol felt like she had been struck by lightning, unable to recover from her shock for a long time.

Dana and her husband exchanged glances, wondering what Cecelia was trying to do by suddenly mentioning a long-lost son.

Amid the buzzing whispers, many guests pieced together the story of Alfred's illegitimate son who had never been acknowledged by the Songo family. Today, many suspected Cecelia might have set herself up for embarrassment.

"Cecelia, stop this nonsense! Come down immediately!"

Mizey couldn't help but stand up, trying to stop Cecelia's outburst. She had suspected that Cecelia might cause a scene, but she never imagined Cecelia would bring up her grandfather's scandalous past on his 88th birthday. Did Cecelia want to anger him to death?
