"So Venus doesn't have a fever, but she was poisoned. Zayn too…" The color drained from Jombo's face as he stomped in exasperation. "Thompson, come over here!"
Thompson, standing behind Jombo, cut a glare at Selena before walking toward Jombo and apologizing, "I'm so sorry, Mr. Giblo. I lied to you."
"You piece of cr_p!" Jombo beat him angrily with his cane. "Tell me now. Is everything Selena said true?"
Thompson pondered for a while and chose his words cautiously. "Daemon was the one who let the snake bit Mr. Zayn. But regarding Venus's case, even though Daemon is the biggest suspect, we've not found the decisive proof for it. Mr. Zayn is still investigating…"
"What a smart statement that is." Right then, Layon weighed in rudely. "I heard from Benard that Venus got poisoned while she was with Carla. If it wasn't Daemon, then was it Carla?"
"Daddy, what nonsense are you talking about?" Selena immediately interrupted Layon with her sign language. "Even a vicious tiger will not eat its cubs. How could Ms. Lierger possibly do that?"
"Silly girl. She almost killed you twice today. Why do you still speak up for her?" Layon responded in wrath.
"I'm merely analyzing it rationally, " Selena signed.
"Selena, you're too soft-hearted." Jombo's expression was utterly rigid. "After Venus got sick, Carla could get back to the Giblo family legitimately. Now I look at it, what Layon said seems reasonable."
"That's impossible. Mr. Giblo, Ms. Lierger loves her child very much…"
Thompson was about to speak for Carla again.
"Shut the f_ck up!" Jombo shouted, beyond enraged. "How dare you hide such an important truth from me? Do you want to piss me to death as well?"
Thompson lowered his head upon hearing that, not daring to utter another word.
"I've underestimated Daemon." The more Jombo thought of it, the more pissed he became. "He transformed Carla and then instilled hatred in her. Then, he let her come back to cause a mess in the Giblo family. Now Zayn has been blinded by love. If this goes on, I'm afraid he will get destroyed by that b_tch completely! No way. I'm chasing her out now. It'll be too late if the whole family got destroyed by her. My three great-grandkids will be affected as well…"
Upon saying that, Jombo pushed his wheelchair angrily, intended to leave.
"Mr. Giblo, please calm down. Don't do anything harsh." Thompson immediately consoled him. "You've promised Mr. Zayn to let him handle it tonight. Maybe you should stay out of it."
"Cut the cr_p! Push me out now…"
As Jombo was throwing a tantrum, the door opened abruptly. It was Zayn who was standing outside.
The whole room was stunned momentarily, as Thompson was the first to react. "Mr. Zayn, why are you here?"
"I know Grandpa's not getting good sleep recently, so I came to check."
Closing the door behind him, Zayn walked toward them slowly.
"How dare you try to act like you care…"
When Jombo was about to scold Zayn, Thompson patted the former's shoulder gently, signaling him to stop.
Looking at those wounds all over Zayn's body, Jombo swallowed back his anger again.
"Zayn, have a seat, " Layon immediately greeted Zayn.
"Are you okay?" Zayn looked at Selena in her eyes.
Selena shook her head, with her eyes still brimming with tears. Her pitiful look would make anyone's heart break.
"I'm sorry." Zayn wrapped his arm around her shoulder. "I've arranged for that crazy woman to leave tomorrow afternoon."
"Really?" Layon was unable to suppress his eagerness upon hearing that. He immediately realized his inappropriate reaction after that.
"Are you going to send her away only?" Jombo confronted, still enraged. "Look at Selena. She almost broke her neck, and her face got pierced by a needle! We won't even know if her look would get destroyed!"
