"I'd suggest that you stop bothering Ms. Lierger, " said Nella directly. "Although Mr. Giblo and her have separated, they are still friends. If someone bullies her, he'll definitely intervene!"
"That's weird." A puzzled look crossed Carl's face. "Mr. Giblo has an intricate relationship with Carla. Furthermore, he already has you, so why would he still protect Carla?"
"You'll have to ask Mr. Giblo about that. I'd like to know the answer too." She smiled. "I'm just reminding you kindly not to seek trouble for yourself. After all, you can't afford to offend Mr. Giblo."
"Do you have any advice?" He gazed at her broodingly.
"If I'm not mistaken, you must have hit a snag with Mr. Giblo earlier, " said Nella meaningfully. "Looking at how calm you are, it means that he has not threatened you yet. However, according to my understanding of him, he'll probably take action soon."
Carl was stunned. "Ms. Gold, are you saying that…"
"You shouldn't forcefully keep something that isn't yours. I suggest that you return the investment fund to her and act honestly. Perhaps, you might have a chance to survive."
She continued bluntly, "I know that your financial situation isn't doing well. If you rely wholly on this project to turn the tables, you'll lose everything once excluded from it."
"Are you saying that Zayn wants me out of this project?" Carl exclaimed in disbelief, "No way!"
"Why not?" Nella sneered. "You've probably forgotten that he has never shown any mercy to his business rivals. Furthermore, your son snatched his beloved woman, and then you tried to coerce her into doing something against her wishes. Not only did you refuse to heed his warning, but you had also bullied her so openly. Don't forget who's on her side. Even if Carla has fallen from grace, she's still the mother of his children. By constantly testing his patience, you have already struck his raw nerve, so he'll definitely not show you any mercy."
Aghast, he thanked her hastily, "Thank you for your advice, Ms. Gold. I'll definitely repay your favor in the future!"
With that, he quickly entered the car with his subordinate. The moment the car doors slammed shut, he called his lawyer. "Return Carla's twenty billion investment to her immediately! Don't say anything and carry out my order right now!"
When the car moved forward, Carl even rolled down the car windows and waved at Nella gratefully.
She inclined her head in acknowledgement.
After watching Carl's car zoom away, Nella entered her car and headed down the mountain with her subordinate.
"I don't understand, Ms. Gold. Why did you advise him?" asked the subordinate, feeling puzzled.
"If he keeps seeking trouble with Carla, Mr. Giblo will keep protecting her. In that case, I'll have no chance to get closer to him, " she explained calmly. "I advised him mainly because I want him to leave F Nation with his son quickly and stop interfering with my affairs. Furthermore, if I do him a favor now, it might help me in the future."
"I see." The subordinate nodded. "However, won't you be helping Carla indirectly too?"
"That is the third benefit." Nella smirked. "She'll find out that I helped her soon enough. In that case, she'll owe me one."
"But even if you don't help her, Mr. Giblo will still intervene, " replied the subordinate carefully. "The problem will still be solved."
"Carla might not agree to let Mr. Giblo help. Furthermore, even if he does take action, his harsh methods will definitely cause an outcry among the corporate world and damage Giblo Group's reputation. Neither of us wants him to do that, be it Carla or me."
Gazing at the villa at Southridge outside the window, Nella raised her eyebrows. "Well, by doing this, I'm killing three birds with one stone. Carla will surely thank me!"
