It was easy to understand.
Within one day, Layon—with Jombo's help, was able to reclaim the shares that Shelley had previously stolen via her carefully laid scheme.
Now that the Dorilo Group was back in Layon's hands, Shelley could no longer act with impunity.
On that same day, Layon declared that the Dorilo Group would always support the Giblo Group and never ally themselves with the Lierger Corporation.
The whole plan was executed in perfection, with Jombo's involvement.
As news of it spread, everyone within the business world cheered on Jombo's behalf.
The expectation that the Giblo family and Lierger family would go to war against each other ended before it even began.
Naturally, this wasn't a sign of weakness on the part of the Lierger Corporation as they had yet to take any action. After all, it was the Chroma family and Dorilo Group that allied themselves with Lierger Corporation and spread the news that they wanted to expand into Aymo City. It might have been an attempt to test the Giblo Group in the end.
Jombo's involvement wasn't an indication of Zayn's inability to suppress the Dorilo Group. It was simply more appropriate for Jombo to step in given the debt of gratitude he owed Layon.
After expending some effort, they had managed to calm the situation down.
The Staytons, Chromas, and Bendays were no longer a threat, while the Lierger Corporation stayed quiet. Consequently, the Giblo Group returned to its peaceful routine.
Meanwhile, Zayn was busy planning his wedding with Carla.
Although he didn't invite the media and wanted to keep the wedding private, he still invited all the friends and relatives of the Giblo family. As for the Wigston family, those that were loyal to Carla and had taken care of her in the shadows were also cordially invited.
Everyone was happy for the both of them.
Those that looked down upon the Wigston family and had ridiculed them in the past were now quaking in their boots.
However, Carla didn't care about that. During that period, her condition was under control, and she felt that she had been worrying too much previously. The poison had been cleared from her body and there would no longer be any relapses.
All she wanted then was to spend her days peacefully with Zayn.
As the days went by, it was finally the day before the wedding.
That night, the whole family gathered for dinner.
As the night was clear, the moon shone brightly as stars dotted the sky.
The dinner was to be served in the garden. The long tables covered in Whyte were filled with scrumptious food.
As Jombo watched the children running happily around and saw how Zayn and Carla doted on each other, he couldn't help but smile and feel grateful for how blessed he was.
The sight of a happy family was all that he ever wished for.
And he no doubt let himself indulge in the blissful moment.
The sense of achievement he felt from what was before him far outweighed that of securing billions worth of business deals.
"It's time for dinner! Time for dinner!"
Both Mrs. Borah and Mrs. Bolistin were ushering everyone to take their seats.
"Mrs. Borah, drop whatever you're doing and come join us, " Carla warmly invited.
"Nonono, this is a wonderful but rare occasion for me to demonstrate my cooking skills, so let me relish in it." Mrs. Borah smiled with pride. "I heard Mr. Giblo likes exotic food. Hence, I have made an effort to learn them just so that I can showcase them today."
"Hahaha, that's wonderful!" Jombo burst into hearty laughter. "I appreciate the effort!"
"That's the least I can do. After all, we're one family now, " Mrs. Borah laughed happily.
"Don't just stand there. Come and have a seat!" Jombo ushered her.
Zayn helped Carla to her seat while the three children took their respective seats. That day, they too were dressed in suits and gowns, just like the prince and princesses in fairy tales. All of them looked dashing and adorable at the same time.
Leaning in discreetly toward Jombo, Venus covered her mouth as she whispered, "Great-grandpa, can we start now?"
"Yes, you may. Hahaha…"
Jombo brushed Venus's hair affectionately and personally served the children their food. After that, he proceeded to serve Carla a chicken drumstick too, causing her to look at him, stunned.
