"Mommy, I'm fine. Don't worry." Randy reassured Carla weakly in a hoarse voice.
"Randy, Mommy has failed you…" Carla was no longer able to control her emotions and burst into tears.
"Mommy, please don't say that…" Randy started crying as well. "I'm fine. I'm with Uncle Harrison now. I'll be home soon."
"All right." Carla took a deep inhale before saying, "Pass the phone to Uncle Harrison."
"OK…"
"Ms. Lierger!"
"Please help me take care of Randy and send him to the hospital."
"Don't worry. I know what to do, " Harrison replied before continuing, "You should quickly head over to the company. I'll handle things here."
"All right."
After hanging up the phone, Carla wiped off her tears. Looking up at Brandy, she instructed, "Speed up. We need to be at the company as soon as possible."
"Understood."
The silver Aston Martin sped away on the road.
The time then was already two-thirty. They had just driven past the borders of Yavawi and were still a long distance away from Aymo City.
Carla was worried that they might not make it in time for the board meeting at three. She tried to call Mosa but her calls were not getting through.
The woman frowned and tried to call Jamal, but she was unable to reach him as well.
Then, she tried calling Thompson, but the call failed to get through again.
Carla was extremely worried, wondering if Newton had taken control of the situation at the company.
She tried calling the other shareholders of the company as well but to no avail.
She had even tried to call the president's office, but no one answered the phone as well.
Carla started panicking and instructed her subordinates at once, "Try to contact someone from Giblo Group. Anyone is fine, even the security guard. I just need to know what's going on at Divine Corporation."
"Understood." The subordinate went off as instructed.
After some thought, Carla dialed Freda's number. Even though the call went through, no one answered…
The woman found it extremely strange that she seemed to have lost contact with everyone suddenly.
What's going on with them?
Carla was feeling extremely unsettled…
Meanwhile, at Divine Corporation, Mosa was giving out instructions in a fluster. "Deal with it immediately. Why is the company's network suddenly down? All the communication devices are not working. We can't access the internet and can't even make any calls. This is so strange!"
"We are working on the issue. We've also informed the network operator to come over to check."
"Get them to hurry. The board meeting is starting soon."
"Got it."
After she finished delivering her instructions, Mosa hurried over to Jamal's office and informed him about the situation. "Don't worry, it should be settled soon, " she reassured the man.
"There must be a mole in our company…" Jamal said with a frown. He was sure that someone must have tampered with the network system for such a thing to happen at such a crucial moment.
"Get an ordinary-looking employee to call Ms. Lierger outside the building, " Jamal ordered decisively. "Hurry!"
"Got it." Mosa sprang into action at once.
Jamal glanced at his watch and noticed that it was almost time for the board meeting. "Check if Mr. Thompson is here, " the man instructed his subordinate who was standing next to him.
"I've already sent someone downstairs to receive him half an hour ago…"
"Check again to see if he's here, " Jamal urged. "Don't wait at the underground parking lot. Meet him at the entrance of the building instead. Also, see if you are able to make calls."
"Understood." The subordinate immediately got going.
"Also, the rest of you, take a look and see which of the board members have not arrived yet, " Jamal instructed his other subordinates.
"We checked just a moment ago. There is only you and Mr. Thompson left. The rest of the board members have all arrived. Kallum was the last one to reach three minutes ago. All of them are waiting inside the conference room right now… However, Mr. Giblo isn't here yet…"
Before he could finish his sentence, the subordinate was interrupted by Mosa, who had entered the office urgently. "Umm… Boris and Mr. Gold are here. Nella is here with them as well."
"What about Thompson?" Jamal asked at once.
"He isn't here yet, " Mosa replied, frowning. "I have gotten someone to go outside the building to make a call to his assistant. We should receive the news very soon."
"Could something have happened?" Jamal's expression turned grim. "I wasn't able to reach Carla since one hour ago…"
