All Taken Care Of
Likewise, Carla could not wrap her mind around Zayn's intentions.
No matter what, I do not wish to cross paths with that woman anymore in the future. It would be best if she could vanish from my sight and never show up again!
Nonetheless, seeing that he was adamant about getting it done, she relented as she did not wish to dispute with him about that matter. Due to his deteriorating condition, everyone complied with his wishes unconditionally.
Time flew by, and two more days had elapsed. Sadly, they were still unable to track down Derelo's whereabouts.
Zayn had made proper arrangements for everything related to the corporation. In the past few days, both Carl and Lisa had been meaning to talk things out with him, hoping that he would let Lucas off
the hook.
After being kicked out of the Gymnasium Project, they had admitted defeat and solely wished to bring their son back to their side.
Ever since Benard seized Lucas in Phoenix City, the latter had been held captive for ten days. As Lucas had suffered punishments, his mental condition was worrying. Hence, Carl and Lisa were apprehensive that he might sustain a mental breakdown if he was confined for any longer.
With snots and tears all over their faces, the couple pleaded with Zayn to grant Lucas mercy and let him off.
Even so, Zayn was devoid of expression as they yowled. Half an hour later, he looked at his watch and said placidly, "I need to attend a meeting. Please excuse me."
As he spoke, he stood up to leave.
Heart sinking, Carl went on his knees. In an ever so servile manner, he pleaded, "Zayn, I know what you care about the most. Please accept my sincerest apology and spare my son's life. I swear I will keep a close eye on him and restrain him from pestering Carla again."
"We won't let Lucas step into Aymo City again. Please let him off. We don't want the money or the project anymore. Our only request is to bring our son back, " Lisa begged piteously.
Zayn snapped at them coldly, "You should be begging for mercy from someone else, not me."
The couple exchanged looks and knew at once what Zayn meant. Apparently, he was hinting at them to plead with Carla.
Benard even gave them another clue, saying that Carla was on her way to the office for a meeting with Zayn.
Without hesitation, the couple turned to plead with her upon her arrival, repeating everything they had mentioned to Zayn moments ago.
Carla felt guilty for placing Lucas in such a predicament. Things would not have turned out that way if she did not agree to his proposal.
Not to mention, Lucas had paid the price for his misdeeds. Since Carl and Lisa had swallowed their dignity to plead with her, she decided to be merciful and talked Zayn into letting Lucas go.
In the presence of Carl and Lisa, Zayn agreed to spare Lucas, declaring that it was all for Carla's sake. On top of that, he advised them to discipline Lucas after bringing him home. If not, he would never go easy on him the next time.
After thanking them profusely, the couple picked up their son and left Aymo City as promised.
Still, Benard did not dare to let his guard down and asked Zayn if there was a need to assign someone to keep an eye on them.
However, Zayn was convinced that they would not be able to turn the table on them as the royal family of F Nation was displeased with the Srinsots for being kicked out of the Gymnasium Project.
With the royal family oppressing them, the Srinsot family would not have the energy to stir up trouble again for a few years, to say the least.
Benard heaved a sigh of relief upon hearing his explanation.
The arrangement for the handover of work within the corporation was completed by then. Zayn even introduced Carla to the employees formally so that she could gain everyone's recognition.
Apart from that, with Thompson and Jamal at the helm, the corporation would still be in safe hands even if anything untoward were to happen to him. The matters in the Giblo family had also been taken care of.
The only thing left to do at the moment was to locate Derelo as soon as possible.
