Take Charge 1
"You say that because you think that what he has left is enough for him. However, his drop in status is like a fall from heaven to hell. That makes things completely different. Not everyone can handle that sudden change. Furthermore, his mother had committed so many evil deeds. I'm afraid that others from the Giblo family might not be kind to him. Some might even make things difficult for him, humiliate and scorn him. His life used to be smooth-sailing in the past, with people rushing to curry favor with him. When his life took such a drastic turn, he might not be able to handle it. It's possible that his personality would change…"
Carla gave a detailed analysis.
"You're right." Brandy nodded. "However, I still think that he's not capable enough—"
"Don't underestimate your opponent, " she exhorted with a frown. "Boris might seem like a frivolous playboy, but he still carries the Giblo family's genes. This means that he's probably quite smart too. He used to be unmotivated and incompetent because he felt no pressure. However, when one is pushed to the wall, one's intelligence will return. Isn't that the same case for me too?"
"Um…" Stunned, Brandy quickly said, "Okay, I'll investigate it now."
Carla sighed and got ready to head to the hospital. When she turned around, she discovered Daemon's triplets standing behind the door. With their heads popped out carefully, they stared at her with restless expressions on their faces.
"What's wrong, Alpha, Beta, and Gamma?" Carla took a deep breath. Forcing out a smile, she walked over. "I've been busy lately, so I didn't have time to accompany you. I'm sorry. After I'm done with —"
"Don't be afraid, Aunt Carla." Alpha stretched out her hand and touched Carla's face gently. With a cute voice, she consoled Carla, "Uncle Zayn and Venus will definitely get better!"
When Carla heard her comforting words, she could no longer hold her tears back.
She had been trying her best to stop herself from crying and remembering all those things, but Alpha's words made her break down.
"Don't cry, Aunt Carla!" Beta wiped the tears away from her cheeks and consoled her anxiously, "We'll look for Daddy and tell him to punish the evil man!"
"No one is allowed to bully you!" Gamma clenched her fists and declared furiously, "We'll protect you, Aunt Carla!"
Moved, Carla pulled the three kids into her arms.
She thought that they were too young to know anything, but to her surprise, they understood everything that was going on.
They knew that someone had burned Zayn's house down, causing him to go missing, Venus and Benard to be in a coma, and the handsome Connor to die in the fire.
Hence, they had come to console Carla.
Carla's tears kept flowing down her cheeks. However, she tried her best to keep her emotions under control. Forcing out a smile again, she said to the kids, "All of you have grown up! You speak so clearly now."
"Hehe!" As if embarrassed, the triplets scratched their heads and blushed.
"Okay, I'm going to the hospital to visit Mr. Benard and Venus. Stay at home, and do not wander around, okay?"
Carla stroked their faces.
"Okay, Aunt Carla." The kids nodded.
After hugging them, Carla wore her coat and left hastily with Freda and the rest.
The car drove down the hill. Halfway down, they encountered the Gold family's car.
"Why is she here?"
Freda frowned, not wanting anyone to stir up any more trouble at such a juncture.
Nella hurriedly got out of the car, walked over, and knocked on the car window.
Carla lowered the car window and gazed at her calmly. "What's the matter, Ms. Gold?"
"What happened? Mr. Giblo, he…" Nella was panicking. When she mentioned Zayn's name, her voice trembled. "What happened to him?"
