"We're not saving her. It's Mr. Jombo that we're saving, " Benard replied in exasperation. "Solara has gone crazy to even dare take Mr. Thompson and Mr. Jombo hostage. Who knows what else she's capable of doing just to save her own skin?
"Ms. Lierger has always resented Mr. Jombo. However, she restrained herself from taking revenge on the account of the children. But, it doesn't mean that she will take Mr. Jombo's safety into consideration in her attempt to capture Solara. How can you not understand something as simple as that?"
"Now I do. I'm sorry." Bugara was filled with anxiety. "Mr. Jombo is old now and cannot go through another ordeal like that. Once both sides start fighting, it will be terribly dangerous."
"In that case, shouldn't you be driving faster?" Benard snapped.
"I have already floored the accelerator." Bugara gritted his teeth.
Zayn was looking ahead with a grim expression.
As the rain grew heavier, he knew it was going to be a long night.
Meanwhile, as if she had gone mad, Solara was focused on getting onto the private jet. She figured that she could shake them off and leave safely once she was onboard.
Suddenly, she noticed a silver glint from behind her. The driver nervously reported, "It seems the Lierger's convoy is on our tail."
"Step on it, now!" Solara urged nervously.
"Give up now. You will never escape, " Jombo persuaded softly.
"If you hadn't listened to Zayn, we would have already arrived at the airport." Solara cursed, "That b_stard was just buying time so that Carla could catch me. He was doing it on purpose!"
"Why have you never reflected on your own mistakes?" Jombo agonized as he looked at her. "If you have done nothing wrong, why would they even want to harm you? Even if your business failed, the dividends from Giblo Group alone are extremely handsome. Why must you cause so much trouble?"
"I wasn't satisfied as I was obviously destined for greatness. Ever since I was young, I was better than Arizon in every way, be it at learning or doing business. However, you were never willing to give me an opportunity. Even in Arizon's death, you rather give an inexperienced kid an opportunity instead of me…"
The more Solara thought about it, the angrier she became.
"All I wanted to do was to prove that I can do better. I wanted to show you that I am more suited to run Giblo Group. However…
"The losses kept piling on while my debts began to balloon, to the extent I owed many financial institutions from all around the world a lot of money. The amount is so big that I have lost count. If I didn't seize power, it would be the end of me. Even Boris would suffer alongside me. Left without a choice, I had to take back Giblo Group."
"No wonder…" Jombo was at the limits of his fury. "What gave you the gall to borrow from them? You would end up digging an endless hole for yourself. They are particularly interested in ensnaring people like you, who have the name but not the smarts. It seems they have picked the right person after all."
"Hence, you ended up committing more mistakes just to make up for your earlier follies?" Thompson asked in a weak voice.
"At least Zayn doesn't dare do anything to me, " Solara confessed. "However, those institutions will annihilate me without mercy."
"By becoming a fugitive right now, what difference does it make?" Jombo spoke so emotionally that he coughed non-stop.
"Who would know that Carla is a member of the Liergers?" Solara raged. "Everything would have worked out if she isn't. I would now be in control of Giblo Group and pay off all my debts. Giblo Group would not encounter so many problems too."
Evidently, the main reason why she dared to act so brazenly was that she was confident Zayn wouldn't harm her. At most, they would just break ties as he would never contemplate killing her.
However, she never imagined that the Liergers would get involved.
That was the real reason why her plan failed.
"You… You…" Jombo was stumped by his anger.
Shaking his head, Thompson sighed. There's no hope for Solara. It's pointless to continue the conversation.
