Another war will break out if that happens! While I couldn't care less about Jombo's safety, the kids would surely be upset and traumatized if anything happens to him. It's better if I play the role of the bad guy instead.
With that in mind, Carla put her phone away and turned toward Dr. Feroma as she said, "Dr. Feroma, you can rest well here at my place while I go pick my kids up."
Dr. Feroma nodded. "Okay. Remember to keep things peaceful!"
Carla was a little surprised to hear that, but chose to say nothing about it. Dr. Feroma seems to know about the feud between our two families… There's more to what he said than meets the eye!
She then thanked him and said goodbye to Hapilia and Sam before giving Zayn a call in her room, "Have you taken Venus to your grandpa's?"
Zayn understood what was going on the moment he got her call and responded to her question with another, "Did your men take Dr. Feroma to the Lierger residence?"
"Yes, that's right." Carla admitted to it right away.
Zayn's tone grew cold. "Daemon did it, right? What's he playing at?"
Carla snapped back at him, "Need you even ask? Isn't it obvious? Your family went overboard! Daemon is simply avenging me."
Zayn got mad all of a sudden. "What is he trying to do? Was what he did to Giblo Group not enough? Taking Dr. Feroma away like that would only delay Venus's treatment! Could you guys not affect the children
with adult matters?"
"Her treatment won't be delayed. Bring Venus over to my place now, and I'll have Dr. Feroma treat her right away, " Carla said coldly.
"Carla…"
"You bring her here, or do I have to go pick her up? You choose!"
Carla had learned a lot from Daemon's methods of intimidation, and it proved to be effective as it rendered Zayn speechless.
He knew Carla would really arrive with a bunch of SUVs and dozens of her female bodyguards to take Venus away by force.
That would result in a nasty war between the two families! Looks like I'll have to play the role of the bad guy, then.
With that thought in mind, Zayn decided to give in. "Fine, I'll go discuss this with my grandpa. Wait for my update."
"No, I don't need you to discuss it. I need you to get it done. Bring my child to me by 7:00 p.m. or I will go take her by force. Don't blame me for disrespecting the elderly, then!" Carla hung up immediately after saying that.
Zayn clenched his teeth in anger when he heard the line go dead, and he let out a helpless sigh as he looked at a picture of them on his desk. "You were a lot cuter and gentler two years ago…"
She used to be completely helpless and at my mercy back then, but now… Things have changed, and I'm the one who fears her instead…
"Mr. Giblo, we've just found out that…"
Zayn cut him off, "The Liergers have taken Dr. Feroma, right? A bit late on the report, don't you think?"
"I am terribly sorry for my incompetence, sir." Brandy lowered his head apologetically.
Zayn tossed his pen aside. "Enough. Get the car ready, we're heading over to my grandpa's."
"Right now?" Brandy was confused. Why would he be going there all of a sudden when the company is in utter chaos right now? There's so much work waiting for him!
"Duh!"
"R-Right away!"
Mosa came running over the moment Zayn stepped out of the office. "Mr. Giblo, I have a few documents here that require your signature!"
"Leave them at my desk, I'll sign them tomorrow."
Zayn couldn't care less about those documents and simply rushed over to the elevator. It's almost five in the evening, and Carla would go barging into Grandpa's house if I don't deliver Venus to Northridge by seven! Things would get messy, then!
"But these documents are urgent, Mr. Giblo! Mr. Giblo!"
