Carla felt a rush of emotions when she heard what Diane said. She recalled many things from the past but couldn't remember all the details.
Diane was her only friend back then and likely knew a lot of insider information and details. That was why she resented the Giblo family so much.
Knock! Knock! At that moment, Freda had something to report.
Grobium remarked at once, "Carla, it's time for us to take our leave. Do you really want to keep this money with me?"
"Yes, I'll leave it with you for safekeeping, " Carla answered with a smile. "If the factories' expansion needs additional capital, feel free to dip into it. Just treat it as an additional investment on my part."
"All right then. I'll record it down for you." Grobium was meticulous in his work.
"Sure." Carla nodded. "I'll have my subordinates walk you out."
"Carla…" Suddenly, Diane gathered her courage and suggested, "I want to stay here with you."
"Huh?" Carla was stunned.
"Two years ago, I wasn't able to protect you and it has been hanging on my conscience since. If I had left together with you and Mrs. Borah, she might still be alive. Although I couldn't have done much, I could at least have called the police…"
Diane spoke in a guilty and emotional voice.
"I realize that you have become influential and don't need my help. Perhaps, I can help you watch the children. Having me by your side would definitely be better than any outsiders."
Touched by her words, Carla was glad that she had Diane as a true friend back then.
"She has talked to me many times about it." Grobium elaborated softly, "Although she is doing well at the factory, she worries about you all the time."
"It's dangerous to stay by my side." Carla felt hesitant about the idea.
"Don't worry. I'm not afraid." Diane patted her own chest. "After all, my mom has passed away and I'm all alone now. It would mean a lot to me if I could do something for you."
"Huh? Your mom is no longer around? What happened?" Carla asked.
"In the later part of last year. She died of sickness."
Diane didn't seem as sad when she talked about this.
"Actually, she was bedridden for many years and had been suffering all this while. After that, she managed to wake up and spend some time with me, for which I have been really grateful. When she passed away, she was at peace. It reminded me that I have to repay my debt of gratitude to you. After all, you had helped me find a doctor for her. Every time I get into trouble, you would also stand up for me too!"
Carla hugged Diane and patted her on the back. "All right then. If you're willing to stay, then be it. From now on, my home is yours!"
"Thank you, Carla!" Diane was moved to tears.
"This way, I no longer have to worry." Grobium felt relieved. "Both of you must live well."
"Don't worry about us."
After walking Grobium out, Carla brought Diane to see Dr. Feroma and Hapilia.
When the two old friends reunited, they hugged each other excitedly.
Both of them got to know each other through Carla and became good friends after that. Even after Carla's incident, they still kept in contact.
The reason Bugara was able to find Dr. Feroma was also due to the information Diane provided.
However, when Diane provided the information to Rogan, she assumed that it was Carla Lierger's subordinates who were looking for him.
In the end, everything turned out for the best.
After that, Carla introduced Diane to all her bodyguards and maids. She instructed them to treat Diane as if she was her own sister and to serve her as such.
Everyone addressed her as Ms. Nonayto, causing her to blush as she still wasn't used to it.
Coincidentally, Venus woke up from her afternoon nap. Hence, Hapilia brought Diane to see her.
Once everything was settled, Carla began her treatment for the day.
She soaked herself in a tub filled with medication while acupuncture needles were stuck onto her.
At that moment, Freda rushed in to report. "Ms. Lierger, I just found out that Solara is hiding at Jombo's residence."
