"I didn't come here to create troubles." Carla shrugged her shoulders. "I truly came to pay my respect to Mr. Jombo. Shouldn't you be thanking me?"
"Thanks so much!" Zayn displayed a genuine look. "Would that be enough?"
"Are you trying to chase me out?" Carla's lips curled into a smile as she leaned toward him. "Shelley has escaped. Did you know that?"
"Yes, " Zayn replied in a low voice. "The cops are looking into it right now."
"You knew she's my biggest enemy. Why do you keep protecting her? Now that she has escaped. Are you happy now?"
Rage boiled within Carla as this came into her thoughts.
"Let's talk about this later."
Zayn responded briefly while standing up, getting ready to leave.
"What are you afraid of?"
Just then, Carla suddenly raised her tone and attracted the crowd's attention. In an instant, many shifted their gaze upon Zayn.
Zayn was rendered speechless by that. This b_tch. She likes to create a fuss in public.
Zayn would not have dropped this so quickly if it were not for Jombo's funeral. But right now, he was not in the mood to start a fight with her.
Hence, he turned to Carla. "Let's talk outside."
With that, Carla followed him to the back of the hall.
Rogan wanted to follow too but was stopped by Carla.
Both of them went to the lounge at the back while Benard closed the door for them.
Zayn poured Carla a cup of tea and started explaining, "The cops have sent out their troops to arrest Shelley. And I've also sent my men to track her…"
"Don't, " Carla interrupted him abruptly. "It's better that you stay out of this. I've sent my men. I won't let her escape this time."
"We're not in Erihal." Zayn furrowed his brows as he reminded, "Everything goes by the law here!"
"Thanks for reminding me." Carla let out a smile. "But, I can take her to Erihal and kill her over there!"
"You…" For an instance, Zayn did not know how to react.
"Why?" Carla observed his expression closely. "Do you have any deal with her?"
Pondering for a while, Zayn eventually confessed, "Back then, she promised to become the witness to accuse Solara under one condition. That's for me to ensure her safety!"
"I didn't expect she has a brain after all." Carla bit her lips while smiling. "She knew I would go after her life. That's why she brought up this term with you."
"Yes." Zayn furrowed his brows. "I've no intention to protect her whatsoever. Instead, I've been trying to control her from the beginning and put her to justice…"
"Cut all your noble excuses." Carla was not buying into what he said. "She murdered Mrs. Borah. She deserves to die!"
"She committed the crime in T Nation and managed to find a loophole in the law, " Zayn uttered in a low voice. "But with all her other crimes back in the country, she'll get sentenced not less than ten years."
"Do you seriously think that amount of years is enough to pay for Mrs. Borah's life?" Carla was beyond exasperated.
"I understand your feelings." Zayn chimed.
"That's why I said I'm going to bring her back to Erihal and settle the scores here."
Carla was not interested in continuing the conversation as she dropped her final warning.
"I don't care what you've promised her. I'm going to find her now, and you'd better not stand in the way. Or else don't blame me for the consequences!"
Upon saying that, Carla stood up and left.
Zayn furrowed his brows as he stared at her back figure. There's nothing I could do to stop her now. Or maybe I should not stop her at all.
