Although Jombo began to reexamine his decision, he was still worried.
"But, even if you hand her to the police, would she be safe then? The police might handle the case impartially. After all, her crimes were committed overseas where the death penalty doesn't apply. However, if the Liergers insist on interfering, they may assassinate her in prison. I might as well take the risk of keeping her safe while I'm still alive."
"You're overthinking it." Zayn furrowed his eyebrows. "Nowadays, the law is very strict. No one is able to interfere, let alone make an assassination attempt in prison. Times are different now!"
Jombo figured that Zayn was right. He had been spending too much time overseas where everything was possible with money. He did notice that there were no such practices here.
"All right now, hand her over to me."
Zayn looked at his watch. Not wanting to delay any further, he opened the door to get out. Suddenly, one of their subordinates rushed over to report, "Mr. Giblo, the Liergers are coming!"
"What?" Jombo's face turned pale in shock. He questioned Zayn in exasperation, "Did you-"
"If I were the one who told them, I wouldn't have wasted so much time trying to persuade you." Zayn frowned. "Hand her over to me now. There's still time to send her to the police station."
Jombo was trapped between a rock and a hard place.
At that moment, Thompson advised, "Mr. Giblo, you should trust Mr. Zayn this time. He's doing this for your own good."
Jombo couldn't help but sigh. Closing his eyes, he waved his hand. "Fine!"
Just when Thompson opened the trunk to bring Solara out, a gun pointed right at his head.
Aiming the gun at him, Solara gradually got out.
"Ms. Solara, Mr. Zayn is trying to help you, " Thompson appealed with his eyebrows furrowed.
"Help me?" Solara scoffed. "Dad might be taken by him, but I'm not!"
"Solara, you're a stubborn one."
Just as Zayn spoke, all his subordinates trained their guns at Solara.
"Did you see that? Does this look like he is helping me?" Solara gritted her teeth and yelled, "Zayn, you ungrateful b_stard. How dare you point a gun at your own aunt over another woman?"
"Did it cross your mind that you are my aunt when you kidnapped my son?" Zayn glared at her coldly. "When you injured Polka and gunned down my subordinate, did you remember the same? When you ordered Shelley to kill Carla and Mrs. Borah in T Nation, did you think of that?"
"That woman's mother killed your father, " Solara retorted in defiance. "I was doing my duty by exacting revenge for him. And now, you're blaming me?"
"B_llshit…" Zayn let out a mocking laugh. "You're actually afraid of the Liergers seeking revenge after finding out her identity and the fact that you had poisoned her. Isn't that the real reason why you wanted to kill her?"
Solara's eyes sparkled at Zayn's words. Indeed, when she poisoned Carla, she didn't know Carla was actually Elina's daughter.
Her original intention was to use the poison as leverage to make Carla her puppet so that she could take back the family inheritance. It was only after she realized that Carla was Elina's daughter that she had her assassinated in T Nation. At that time, she was worried about Daemon finding out what she had done.
However, she didn't expect Shelley to be so incompetent. Not only was Carla saved by the Liergers, but they also came back for revenge.
"I'm sparing you on the account that we're family. If you insist on being stubborn, it will only result in your demise." Zayn had run out of patience. "Drop the gun at once!"
"You should be the ones to drop it." Solara took Thompson hostage and bellowed, "Move aside before I blow his brains out!"
