The Suspect
Carla's cries sounded desolate as if she was protesting against the injustice of fate.
Everyone in the Giblo family were in tears.
Thompson, who had rushed over, fainted as soon as he learned about the news.
Jamal fell ill upon hearing the tragedy.
When the guests at Northridge heard about it, they were stupefied.
The happy wedding had turned into a disaster.
Within a night, Southridge was ruined.
Carla refused to believe that Zayn was dead. He must still be alive. He must be…
Still clinging onto some hope, she ordered her subordinates to investigate it.
Given the Giblo family's current situation, someone had to keep the household in order.
No matter how devastated or heartbroken Carla was, she had to pull herself together and support the family.
The Giblo family had suffered significant losses from the disaster. Connor perished in the fire, while Little Dori was burned to death from protecting Venus.
As for Benard, he had fallen into a deep coma due to inhaling a lot of the toxic smoke after being shot. The doctor said that he did not know when Benard would regain consciousness.
Although Venus did not get burned under Dori's protection, she had tumbled down the stairs and injured her head. Combined with the inhalation of the smoke, she was also in a coma.
Everyone in the Giblo family was imbued with sadness, their hearts aching for the tragic disaster.
Carla had no more strength to weep. Despite her agony, she had to stay strong.
Firstly, she made arrangements for the guests and ordered her subordinate to seal off Southridge. Then, she requested the police to continue searching for Zayn's whereabouts.
At the same time, she instructed Naya to treat Venus, Benard, and the rest of the wounded to the best of her abilities.
Carla firmly believed that since Benard had been in Zayn's bedroom before fainting, he should know where Zayn was and what happened that night.
According to what the surviving bodyguards described, some mysterious masked men intruded Southridge that night. First, they placed an explosive in the kitchen. Once it was ignited, they made use of the chaos and launched a surprise attack.
The only clue Bugara provided after he regained consciousness was that Connor spotted someone who looked similar to Zayn before the explosion. That person might be related to the incident.
However, the police thought the clue was too vague to be useful.
When Carla heard Bugara's recount, a figure flashed across her mind. Boris!
Boris was Solara's son and Zayn's cousin.
He had inherited the Giblo family's genes. His height, physique, and demeanor resembled that of Zayn a lot. In terms of looks, he also bore some resemblance to Zayn.
Ever since what happened to Solara, Boris' shares and position in Giblo Group had been withdrawn. To restrain Boris, Zayn kept him under some form of control. However, he was merciful to his cousin: allowing the latter to live.
Afterward, Boris left the house and broke off contact with the Giblo family.
Evidently, he was a strong suspect.
Carla immediately instructed Brandy to investigate Boris.
Brandy passed the orders to his subordinates. At the same time, he also voiced his doubts. "Mr. Broid has been incompetent from a young age. Other than squandering money, he only knows how to toy with women. He's nothing but a frivolous playboy, so I doubt he's capable or smart enough to do all these."
"We can't be too sure." Carla frowned. "Since his life was turned upside down, his personality might change drastically. In the past, he was incompetent because he had a high social status and wealth without needing to do anything. After Solara died, he had nothing left. Humiliated and mocked by others, he might grow to resent Zayn."
"You aren't wrong." Brandy analyzed, "However, Mr. Giblo merely took Boris' shares in Giblo Group and stripped him of his position. His inheritance from his mother is probably sufficient for him to spend for the rest of his lifetime. It's not true that he has nothing."
