When something happened to Carla, Zayn almost fell into the vicious cycle of despair. Had it not been for his children, he might not be able to pull himself together.
Therefore, Jombo appointed his great-grandchildren his successors instead of his grandson in an attempt to divert Zayn's attention.
Jombo knew things would never be the same for Zayn and Carla. The best out of the worst possible outcome would be for the duo to part ways and stay away from one another.
In an attempt to keep Zayn going in life, Jombo made a mess and brought upon the financial predicament for his grandson's sake.
Little did he know Zayn was about to face yet another crisis in life.
Shortly after he dismissed the rest, he returned to his office and staggered in front of Mosa when he was about to tell her the things she had to sort out with the legal team.
"M-Mr. Giblo!" Mosa shrieked in fear.
Benard rushed over to Zayn's side and stopped him from falling in the nick of time. "Mr. Giblo, are you fine?"
Zayn supported himself against the table. Massaging his swollen temples, he instructed in a callous tone, "I-I'm fine! Just leave me alone for a few minutes!"
"Let's go!" Benard repeated Zayn's instructions and beckoned the legal team and Mosa to make their way out of Zayn's office.
Benard was afraid something bad might happen to Zayn. "Are you fine? Why don't you take a short break? I'll go get you a glass of water!"
He brought Zayn to the couch and returned to with a glass of water.
Zayn tried to retrieve the glass of water, but he ended up dropping it due to his blurred vision. He tried rubbing his eyes to get rid of it, but Benard's silhouette was the only thing he could see.
"I'm sure you're just exhausted after staying awake for almost a week. It's time for you to have a break and put everything aside, " Benard urged as he continued cleaning up the mess.
Zayn closed his eyes and took a short break for a few minutes. Once he opened his eyes, he found out he could see just fine again. Thus, he thought he must be exhausted.
Benard suggested when he saw Zayn's pale and haggard face, "You can't keep this up. It's time to call it a day and carry on with the session with the legal team tomorrow."
"Send me to Storm Hotel! I don't want to be home because there are even more things that require my attention!"
"Yes!"
Benard announced Zayn wouldn't be available for the upcoming eight hours. He knew it was about time for Zayn to have a sleep after staying awake for such a long time.
Mosa asked, "Is everything fine with Mr. Giblo? Has he fallen ill or something?"
"He's just exhausted after being awake for almost a week. As urgent as the issues awaiting him might be, it's time for him to take a break."
Prior to their departure, Benard instructed Mosa, "I'll take him to the hotel and leave the rest to you! We'll talk again in the morning!"
"Alright, just leave the rest to me!" Mosa nodded and assured Benard she had everything under control.
As soon as Benard brought Zayn away using the emergency exit, they made their way to the hotel.
On his way to the hotel, he found out there were a few journalists going after them. Irked, Benard instructed Bugara to shrug the journalists off.
The moment they reached the hotel, they found out there were journalists awaiting them as well. It turned out they had been waiting for Zayn ever since they last encountered him there.
In the end, Benard suggested, "Mr. Giblo, it's not safe for us to make our way to Storm Hotel. Shall we return to Southridge?"
Zayn, who was about to fall asleep, responded with a nod since he was barely conscious.
Afraid of rousing the man from his sleep, Benard instructed Bugara to send Zayn to Southridge as soon as possible.
The residency at Southridge had undergone a major renovation ever since they found out Selena's vicious deeds.
No one was around ever since the day Jombo passed on. Thompson and the children were at Jombo's Garden Villa. Thus, there were only a few maids around at Southridge.
