Perhaps, Alia had gone bonkers after learning about Lola's misfortune. Since there were other ways to take Harry and Lena down, she could only expose everything to the world and fight to the death.
Since Lola had gone mad and would not know what was going on anyway.
Carla could not help but feel sorry for the Whytes. If Lena really was the mastermind behind the rape, then she had gone too far. This was why Carla could somewhat relate to Alia's action.
Nevertheless, Carla believed Alia was no match for Lena.
Alia might outwit Lena, but she no longer had the financial means to take the latter down in the long run. On the contrary, Lena could easily crush Alia at a snap of the finger.If Alia continued to play with fire, Lena would take action against her for sure.
"Carla? Hey!" Diane raised her voice to get Carla's attention.
"Yes?" Carla answered. "I still have to deliver the costumes to Ms. Sulana today."
"You don't have to send them over anymore. She asked me to tell you, " Diane looked into Carla's eyes and said, "Ms. Sulana said you're a witness of the incident.
"Since you know both the victim and the aggressor, a lot of people even asked about you. Things have somehow spiraled out of control, so she said…"
"What did she say?"
"Ms. Sulana said she'll have to wait for the buzz to die down before she considers hiring you again. She also wants me to deliver the costumes to her instead, " Diane said sheepishly, "I tried talking to her, but she refused to listen."
"I understand, " Carla responded with a wry smile. "Come to my place to collect the costumes when you're free then."
"I'll come over now then. Don't worry, I'll try to find you another job, okay?"
"Thanks, Diane."
Carla ended the call and continued reading the news on social media.
The scandal had become the talk of the town now. Alia must have dumped a lot of money to make the news go viral. She was willing to do everything to tarnish both Harry and Lena's reputation.
Everything that had happened recently got Carla emotional, but there was nothing she could do about it. At this point, she knew she had to stay away from the mess.
While Carla was still deep in thought, Grobium called. "Hey, Mr. Srudem!"
"Hi, Carla. I'm in Yavawi now. The factory is ready to operate tomorrow."
"Glad to hear that!" Carla said, "Everything went well?"
"Yes. We've hired enough workers to start working on two big projects. I wanted to invite you to our opening ceremony tomorrow, but I guess you must be busy."
"No worries. Go ahead without me, " Carla said with a grin, "I'll go over once I'm done with my work."
"Oh, yes. There's something else I wish to discuss with you."
"What is it?"
"Simeon has three factories, right?" Grobium asked, "He initially quoted me a total of seventy million for all the factories and your villa. But since I didn't have that much money, I acquired only one of the factories. They didn't sell off the remaining two."
He continued, "But just a while ago, Simeon called. He was willing to sell the two factories to me for ten million provided that the payment is settled at one go."
Upon hearing that, Carla kept mum for a moment. Alia and Simeon are really giving everything up to seek justice for their daughter.
"This is a good deal. Your uncles are interested in taking up this offer, and they're in the midst of raising money, " Grobium said, "I just thought I should get your permission before we proceed with the acquisition."
"Go ahead, " Carla said without hesitation, "It's great that you all are continuing my father's business. I'll call you again once I think of a way to raise money too."
"All right."
