"Understood…" Benard let out a deep sigh. "Mr. Giblo is trying his best here. It's a shame that Ms. Wigston doesn't know about it. She must have an aversion toward him now."
"Not only that, his three children will resent him too." Brandy shook his head. "All that pressure piling up on him and yet, he has to endure it all on his own…"
After their little chit-chat, the two of them continued with their work.
Although they knew that it was infructuous, they did as they were told anyway. They were sure that Jombo's men would stop them sooner or later.
When that time comes, Mr. Jombo will have to deal with Mr. Giblo himself…
In order to protect Carla, Zayn would have to compromise for now, even if he was reluctant.
All that was left for him to do now was to dawdle and wait until Carla's past was erased without a trace. Only then would the Giblo family return back to normal.
Moreover, Zayn could then start to deal with the Lierger Corporation using commercial means in hopes of overthrowing them someday.
When the Lierger Corporation wasn't a hindrance anymore, Zayn could then go and get Carla back.
Unfortunately, that day wasn't coming any time soon.
Zayn was cognizant of what he got himself into right from the start. How could he not have known? That was why he was so stressed out.
Meanwhile, at the Garden Villa in the northern suburbs, Thompson was pushing Jombo, who was in a wheelchair, out of the children's bedroom and into the study.
With a serious look on his face, Jombo lowered his eyes while he was deep in thought.
"I was having a lot of fun with the kids just now. Why did you interrupt me?"
Thompson was observing Jombo's expression carefully as he asked, "Josh and Venus are still oblivious to the situation, but not Randy. Just now, he asked me about his mother. He wanted to know the details about his mother's sickness and which hospital she's in. If this keeps up, the smart boy will find out the truth about his mother soon…"
Jombo tensed up upon hearing that with a worried expression on his face.
"They are still young, so they won't pay mind to it, " Thompson murmured. "Perhaps they will be grief- stricken for a while, but they'll forget about it as they grow up…"
"Let's hope so." Mr. Giblo sighed. "I don't care about the others. I just want the three of them to be safe from harm."
"Yes." Thompson understood that he meant well. "It seems like any path that we choose will inevitably lead to sadness."
"God help us all!" Mr. Giblo exclaimed.
"Mr. Giblo." At this moment, a maid rushed in to report to Jombo, "Mr. Benday is here."
"It's already quite late in the night. Why is he here?" Jombo made a frowning face. "Bring him to the study."
"Yes."
Thompson helped Jombo to the first floor, where the study room was located. Upon seeing Jombo, Layon, who was sipping a cup of tea on the sofa, immediately stood up to salute him. "Mr. Giblo."
"Please sit." Mr. Giblo gestured for him to take his seat. "Layon, it's already so late. Do you have something urgent to tell me?"
Layon lowered his head and pondered for a bit before replying, "There are things that I shouldn't intervene and talk about. However, I feel the need to tell you something as it could pose a serious problem."
"Tell me." Mr. Giblo signaled him to talk.
"A while ago, Zayn brought Ms. Wigston with him to attend Harry and Lena's wedding. If I'm not mistaken, Mr. Lierger of the Lierger family was also there…"
Before Layon could finish his sentence, Jombo's expression changed drastically. "What?"
"But of course, they might not have met each other, " Layon hastily added. "Mr. Lierger was constantly hiding in the shadows, afraid of showing his face. Do you think perhaps…"
"Start investigating immediately, " Jombo ordered.
"Yes." Thompson quickly went to carry out his instruction.
"The thought just recently crossed my mind." Layon whispered, "I'd assume that Mr. Lierger didn't get a good look at Ms. Wigston, or else he would've taken action by now. Perhaps he only saw her silhouette…"
"If he did see her, it'll all be over." Jombo's face had turned ghastly.
