Married by Accident, Taming the Billionaire novel Chapter 409

Chapter 409 True Colors Revealed at Last

With measured footsteps approaching, Chris turned to see a group of bodyguards entering the room.

As they parted, a tall figure emerged through the door.

Cecelia, dressed elegantly in a black long-sleeved gown, her clear and piercing eyes set off by her chestnut, naturally cascading curls that draped behind her. She wore two tassel earrings, which added an air of dominance to her already striking presence.

She appeared like a queen descended from the throne, her captivating features exuding arrogance, confidence, and an untamed fierceness.

Chris felt a chilling surge of blood rushing through his body at her elegant entrance as if an icy wind had blown through his core and spread rapidly to his limbs and extremities.

"Cecelia, you... you..."

Words couldn't adequately describe the fear and panic that overcame him at that moment. It was more than disbelief; it was horror.

How could Cecelia become the silent mastermind behind Seyben Group?

When had she achieved such a feat without any of them hearing a whisper?

"How can you possibly be the mastermind behind Seyben Group? How is that even possible?"

Chris confronted her, forcing Cecelia to halt her advance.

In response to his questions, Cecelia replied coldly, "What's impossible? As long as I will it, there's nothing that can't be done!"

Chris's anger was apparent, and he pointed his finger at her, "So, your true colors are finally revealed. Your intentions go beyond just Songo Dyehouse; now you want a piece of the Songo Group as well."

"Mr. Songo, don't be quick to paint me as the villain. My presence in the Songo Group is intended to save it," Cecelia retorted, sweeping her gaze across the room. "Look at the state of the Songo Group. Without my intervention, you, Chris, would be incapable of managing this crisis."

"Cut the act! Don't think I don't know what's going on in your mind. From the moment you returned to the Songo family, your goal has been to claim the Songo Group. Your true intentions are laid bare!"

Chris's face, contorted by anger that even made him lose his decency, locked onto Cecelia as though he was confronting an enemy.

"Whatever you think, Chris. But we're here for a meeting. Let's proceed."

Cecelia wasn't in a rush to counter his accusations. Instead, she walked towards the conference table, where Seyben Group's CEO, Elliot Spencer, had been seated, occupying the position reserved for the largest shareholder.

Elliot Spencer rose from his seat and politely gestured for Cecelia to sit.

He positioned himself as a subordinate, standing behind Cecelia without any hint of resentment.

This display left Chris incredulous. He began to question whether Cecelia had employed improper means to win over Elliot Spencer.

After all, her charm and beauty could easily overpower any man, and Chris wondered if she had taken advantage of Spencer.

Calming down, Chris reassured himself that even if Cecelia had become the mastermind of Seyben Group, her 20% stake was no match for the combined power of the Songo family's shares. Their position was still secure.

Reigning in his anger, Chris returned to his seat at the head of the table and fixed his gaze on Cecelia. "Very well, the change in Seyben Group's ownership is an internal matter for Seyben, but it won't affect the Songo Group's development."

Chris engaged in a discussion about the current state of the Songo Group. Cecelia then inquired, "Chris, given the current situation where Songo Group's market value has significantly declined, what plans do you have to remedy it?"

"We've been in discussions with potential investors who have expressed interest in the past. By securing additional investments, we can turn the tide and overcome the crisis that Songo Group is facing."

"But how do you plan to address the LC Group's acquisition attempt?" Cecelia tossed the question to him in the biggest shareholder's tone.
