"How dare they?" Freda was furious. "The Giblo family has really crossed the line!"
"Mr. Giblo came back afterward and stabilized the situation, " explained the bodyguards. "He still sides with Ms. Lierger, but that old man, Mr. Jombo, hates her to the core. He just can't wait to get rid of her!"
"That's right. I don't know if he's blind. Otherwise, why would he trust that mute from the Benday family and keep targeting Ms. Lierger?"
"Now, we are left without much manpower and are trapped in the Giblo residence. Ms. Lierger is unconscious while Rogan got into an accident. Things can't go on like this…" A grim look crossed Freda's face. "I'll report to Mr. Lierger immediately!"
"Yeah. If he comes, no one will dare to bully Ms. Lierger!"
Freda immediately sent a message to Daemon and reported everything that happened to him.
However, he gave no response.
She had no choice but to keep waiting.
The rain lasted for the entire night.
When the next morning arrived, the sky had cleared.
Carla woke up from her sleep. Her head felt extremely heavy and the back of her neck was very sore.
Sitting up, she shook her head and tried to remember everything that had happened last night.
I left to meet Diane with Rogan but was caught in a sneak attack by Solara. Rogan was shot while my illness relapsed again…
"Rogan!"
Carla widened her eyes. She immediately jumped out of the bed but realized that she was completely naked except for a bathrobe wrapped around her.
"She's fine." A familiar voice sounded.
When she turned her head, she saw Zayn walking out of the bathroom. There was only a towel wrapped around his torso, while water dripped down his hair and body.
"Are you crazy? Why are you bathing in my room?" growled Carla as she frowned.
Zayn pointed at the wedding photo hung on the wall.
Carla raised her head and glanced at it. Stunned, she continued scanning the room. "Is this your room?"
"It's ours." Zayn walked toward her while he wiped his hair. "Go and bathe. We'll head downstairs for breakfast later."
"What's going on?" Carla felt very uneasy. "What happened last night?"
Every time she had a relapse, she would forget what happened.
"Go and bathe first." Zayn stroked her hair. "You smell like blood."
After Carla sniffed herself and realized that he was right, she immediately went to the bathroom.
While she bathed, she tried to recall the events from last night. She realized that there were bruises on her wrists and ankles, which looked like they were marks from being cuffed…
She closed her eyes and tried her best to remember. Soon, a few flashbacks appeared in her mind.
Selena attacked me with a silver needle, but I pinned her against the floor and stabbed her face with the needle. Then, Mr. Giblo came with some men.
When Carla opened her eyes again, a vicious glint flashed across them.
Very well! How dare these worthless people bully me?
She walked out of the bathroom, fuming with rage.
"Change your clothes." Zayn opened the closet to reveal an array of female clothing. For some reason, they looked quite familiar to her…
"I don't wear someone else's clothes."
Carla walked out directly.
"These are yours, " said Zayn gently. "Don't you remember?"
Carla halted in her tracks and turned around to take a look. Yeah, they look kinda familiar…
"Wear them. It's not appropriate if the kids come and knock on the door later."
Zayn pointed at her bathrobe.
After shooting a glare at him, Carla grabbed a set of clothes and changed into them behind the partition.
"Daddy! Daddy!" At that moment, someone suddenly knocked on the door. Josh yelled anxiously, "Mommy's gone! We can't find her!"
Walking over, Zayn opened the door and pointed inside the room. "Mommy's changing now."
"Huh?" Josh was stunned. "Did Mommy sleep here last night?"
