"Is it gone?" Thompson rushed out to check.
"It's gone, Mr. Thompson, " reported Brandy.
"Mr. Giblo is furious, so you better lay low, " suggested Thompson before he turned to enter the house.
"Well, I'm done for."
Benard knew that although Thompson had not explicitly mentioned it, Jombo could still tell. His subordinates had failed to prevent the eagle from flying in because Thompson had blocked them on multiple times.
Thus, Jombo was definitely going to unleash his wrath on Thompson.
"You'll just have to bear a bit of caning, " comforted Brandy as he patted his shoulder. "Mr. Giblo is old enough to not have the strength to draw blood."
"Take the child to the room, " Zayn said as he made a gesture.
Mrs. Bolistin and a few maids rushed to bring the three kids to the room.
Venus was not crying anymore. Rather, her entire body was ice cold, and her face was devoid of color.
"Don't be afraid. I'm here. Everything is going to be fine." Zayn hugged her and gently soothed her. "Be a good girl and go rest in your room. I'll join you soon."
"Okay." Venus's small face was still streaked with tears, but she nodded bravely.
Zayn shook his head and then looked at Randy. His heart ached as he uttered, "Are you okay?"
Randy seemed out of sorts as he shook his head silently.
"That eagle was so scary, " whimpered Josh who was clutching a shivering Dori. "We were already scared when we heard noises in the car. I can't believe it flew into the house today."
Venus whimpered, and she was on the verge of tears again.
"Don't be scared, Venus. I won't talk about it." Josh hurriedly comforted her.
"Daddy, who does the eagle belong to?" Randy asked with a frown.
"I'll explain it to you later. Go to your room for now." Zayn said as he stroked Randy's head.
"Mrs. Bolistin!" Jombo shot her a look.
Mrs. Bolistin brought several maids with her as they coaxed the three children upstairs.
"When will Naya arrive?" Jombo asked Thompson.
"I called her, and she said that she's bringing the child psychologist with her. They should be here soon, " replied Thompson respectfully.
"Fine." Jombo nodded and turned his attention to Benard. At once, he called out angrily, "Kneel!"
Benard was petrified, and he hastily dropped to his knees.
Following that, Bugara and the eight bodyguards knelt in two neat rows.
"You too, " barked Jombo as he glared at Brandy.
"Me?" Brandy was completely taken aback. "Mr. Giblo, I didn't…"
Before he could finish speaking, he saw Thompson shaking his head and shooting him a look.
He immediately snapped his jaw shut and fell to his knees as well with a clean thud.
Likewise, his eight subordinates followed suit.
Jombo's sharp gaze scanned the group. After a while, he turned to stare at Zayn and said, "Tell me the truth now. What's going on?"
Zayn frowned, and he lowered his gaze. He was trying hard to temper his emotions.iously, he hid the matter to avoid a confrontation with the Lierger family. He did not want Jombo to know Carla's identity.
However, Carla had charged into the house and caused such a commotion. Hence, Jombo could no longer ignore the matter.
Jombo had been in the business industry for some time and had learned to read people well. When he first saw that silver Rolls-Royce, he had suspected that they were from Lierger Corporation. Later, he had sent someone to look into the matter, but Zayn had hidden everything.
He had long suspected that there was more to the story than what met the eye.
After Carla's incident, Jombo had stopped micro-managing Zayn. He kept one eye closed on most matters. However, he did not expect that the Lierger Corporation would use the opportunity to provoke them.
Besides, Zayn's people did not handle the situation promptly, and instead, they allowed it to become a mess.
There must be something wrong.
