"Why did you push me out?" Jombo growled angrily, "Stop! I haven't told him off enough yet-"
"If you keep going, the kids will wake up, especially Randy. He'll know what's going on the moment he hears you. By then, it'll be hard to fix your relationship again. Do you want it to go back to how it used to be?"
That served incredibly effective to calm Jombo down.
"Mr. Zayn shouldn't have talked back like that. Go back and rest. I'll tell him off for you."
"That cheeky, rude rascal. You better teach him a lesson!"
"I will. Don't you worry."
Thompson finally wheeled Jombo away with his smooth words.
Back in the study room, Zayn was so angry that he kicked over the coffee table.
Benard hurriedly advised, "Mr. Giblo, please calm down. The kids might wake up."
Yet Zayn was still huffing in anger.
Benard suddenly thought of something and said, "You mentioned before that Selena could help advise Mr. Jombo to go back to M Nation, right? This is a good opportunity."
Zayn finally calmed down at that. He had almost forgotten.
Carla was finally back in Aymo City. Besides that, she was living in Northridge while the Lierger Corporation was entering the local market steadily. They would start promoting themselves, and Carla herself would soon come into the public eye.
By then, he could no longer keep the secret from the kids and Jombo.
That was why he had to get Jombo back to M Nation as soon as possible before everything else could fall into place.
Suddenly, someone knocked on the door. Naya's voice piped up, "Mr. Giblo, I have something to report."
"Come in, " Benard answered.
Naya entered cautiously. "Please don't be angry, Mr. Giblo. The medical staff are already helping Ms. Benday move to the other building."
"Did she hear everything?" Zayn asked with a frown.
"Yes." Naya nodded. "She asked me to help arrange everything. The building has already been cleared out, so we just need to-"
"She can stay here, " Zayn suddenly said.
"Huh?" Naya said in shock.
"Let her stay in the guest room first, " Zayn commanded.
"Understood, " Naya quickly returned to pass the message. "Mr. Giblo said she can stay here. Hurry up and move her things back to the guest room so she can rest properly."
Thompson had just come downstairs to mediate things with Zayn when he heard that and rushed back to report to Jombo.
Jombo said huffily, "My threat probably put him in place. Looks like he still knows who's the boss."
"Mr. Zayn may speak harshly, but deep down, he still respects you, " Thompson said wisely. "You shouldn't push him too far. Just give him some time."
"I don't have the time for that, " Jombo managed before he started coughing violently. He clutched his chest, trying to breathe in distress.
"Mr. Giblo, you should really start getting some treatment." Thompson hurried over to pat Jombo on the back.
"Treatment won't help much. I'm already 98." Jombo smiled helplessly. "No matter how powerful I was when I was young, nothing can beat the disease of old age."
"You're not old, Mr. Giblo. You're just as lively as the rest of us, " Thompson said with reddening eyes.
"This happens to everyone, " Jombo said mildly. "I just want to see that rascal put down his past and live a new life before I go."
"He doesn't seem completely heartless toward Ms. Selena, " Thompson mused. "Now that Ms. Selena is staying with us, they'll have plenty of chances to interact. As time goes by, they'll definitely start falling for each other."
"I hope that's the case, " Jombo said with a sigh. "Once I see them together, I can finally return to M Nation in peace."
