Jombo's eyes widened in disbelief. He had never imagined that his daughter would use him as a hostage.
"You… you ungrateful beast!"
Despite being in dire circumstances after being shot twice, Thompson couldn't resist cursing at Solara.
"Every man for himself!" Solara asserted. "Moreover, I'm just holding you hostage. Your life is still in Zayn and Carla's hands. As long as they are willing to let me leave, no one will get hurt. Or else, both of us will die together!"
"You… you have gone mad!" Jombo was outraged. "I really regret saving you. I should have let you die!"
"You reap what you sow." Watching the scene coldly, Carla sneered, "This is the poisonous snake that you have raised yourself. You don't feel a thing when she is hurting others. But now that you have become her victim, you finally realize how painful it is!"
Jombo was humiliated by her words.
"Solara, you crazy woman!" At that moment, Zayn joined the scene. "Let go of Grandpa at once!"
"She has truly gone mad to even take her own father hostage."
Benard and Brandy were bewildered by what they saw.
Together with their subordinates, they surrounded her from the back.
At that moment, Carla's team was in front of Solara while Zayn's men were behind her.
Surrounded in all directions, Solara had no escape.
"Whoever approaches, I'll kill Dad!"
Solara remained defiant. She believed no one would dare touch her as long as she had Jombo as her trump card.
However, Carla didn't care as she waved her hand and ordered, "Seize her!"
"Yes!" Freda and the rest surrounded Solara at gunpoint and prepared to take her down.
Panicking, Solara cocked her gun and pointed it at Jombo's head. She screamed, "Don't come near me!"
Freda and her team hesitated as they looked in Carla's direction.
"He is your father. What has it got anything to do with me?" Carla scoffed. "You're using your own father to threaten me? Is this a sick joke?"
"You…" Feeling distressed, Solara turned toward Zayn and barked, "Zayn, do you hear me? If that woman makes a move, I'll kill your grandfather. He has always adored you and raised you himself, turning you into the successful man you are. He even handed you the entire Giblo Group. Is this how you're going to repay him?"
Solara's tone was extremely cynical.
She spoke as if Jombo hadn't raised her to be successful.
It was obvious to everyone who the ingrate was here.
However, at that moment, no one could be more shameless than her.
Solara had struck at the heart of Zayn's weakness. She knew that he would never let Jombo come to harm.
"Carla, get them to lower their weapons."
Just as expected, Zayn compromised.
"How dare you!" Instead of budging, Carla was further incensed. "The Giblo family harbored a criminal and planned to smuggle her out of Aymo City. Now that you have been betrayed, you're asking me to let her go? Zayn, do you know how ridiculous that sounds?"
"The Giblo family has wronged you." Zayn lowered himself to beg, "I'm begging you, please back off. As long as my grandpa is safe, I'll make it up to you-"
"Make it up to me? How?" Carla furiously cut him off. "Two years ago, when she sent men to assassinate me in T Nation and caused Mrs. Borah's death, you told me that you would make it up to me. One month ago, when she kidnapped Randy, you said the same thing again!
"After that, she attacked me at Rokan Hill and injured my subordinates, that's when you repeated your vow again! Can you tell me when will you ever fulfill it? Not only did you not keep your promise, you even helped the foolish old man to assist her on her escape! Is that how the Giblo family fulfill their promises?"
