"Mr. Giblo, " said Benard as he knocked and entered the room to report, "Ms. Lierger is gone."
"Is Venus here?"
Zayn received a call from Venus that day. She claimed that her mother would drop her off that day because she wanted to pay her respect to her great-grandpa.
"No, " replied Benard while shaking his head, "Rogan called earlier and said that they will be here at around eight o'clock. I'm guessing they're trying to avoid something."
"Okay, " murmured Zayn before he nodded and instructed, "Tell Remon and the others to be careful when they find Shelley. Don't act impulsively. Instead, call me right away."
"Maybe we should just ignore the matter entirely?" suggested Benard carefully, "Ms. Lierger is especially sensitive about the matter, and it will be troublesome in the future if Shelley ended up making things even worse between you and Ms. Lierger."
"Even so, we must keep an eye on the matter. If Carla and the police found Shelley at the same time, they might get into a fight, " replied Zayn while frowning.
"That's true. Ms. Lierger has a terrible temper. If Shelley taunts her, she might just shoot and kill the woman on the spot. If the police saw that, they will have something over her, " said Benard while nodding.
"That is what I am most worried about. She has already decided to leave Aymo City, so I can't afford to let anything bad happen at a crucial time like this, " said Zayn while looking grim.
"Understood. I will make the call right away."
"Wait, " said Zayn, who was still too worried. He instructed, "Remon might not be able to do everything on his own. Have Brandy take Bugara to join forces with Remon."
"Understood. I'll relay the message right away, " replied Benard before he hurried out of there.
Just then, Randy and Josh entered with lentil soup. They said, "Daddy, you haven't eaten anything all day. Here, have some soup."
"Thank you, " replied Zayn as he stroked his sons' cheeks. He was touched by their gesture. He asked, "Did you get to see your mommy?"
"Yeah, " answered Josh happily, "Before she left, she secretly gave us both a hug at the back entrance. She even said that she will drop Venus off tonight. Is that true?"
"Yeah, " informed Zayn as he grinned at Josh, "Mommy's employees will drop Venus off tonight. She wants to pay her respects and see great-grandpa one last time."
"Great, " said Josh who was delighted, "Does that mean she is no longer sick?"
"Yeah, she has recovered. Your mommy won't drop her off otherwise."
Zayn sipped some tea. He had been so busy lately that he didn't have any appetite in the last few days. Seeing how his kids delivered the soup in person got Zayn to cheer up a little.
"I'm glad, " replied Josh before he sighed a breath of relief.
"Daddy, did you get into a fight with Mommy again?" asked Randy as he frowned and stared strangely at Zayn.
"No, we were just having a discussion, so don't worry, " said Zayn as he stroked Randy's tiny head.
"Okay, then eat up and rest up. We'll head out for now, " said Randy after he nodded.
Then, he dragged Josh away.
Zayn was about to chow down the food when his phone rang. The call was from Carla, and that surprised him, so he quickly picked up the call. "Hello?" greeted Zayn.
"Did you send someone to come pick Venus up?" asked Carla nervously.
"Huh? No, I didn't. What's going on?" asked Zayn, who was stunned.
"So it really isn't you?" blurted Carla. She instantly panicked and shared, "Then who came to pick Venus up? My people said that it was the Giblo family's car…"
As Carla spoke, she recalled something and immediately instructed her subordinate, "Find out where Roland Galliam is right now!"
"Understood."
"Carla? What's going on? What happened to Venus?" demanded Zayn nervously.
"Someone took Venus and Diane away. If you weren't the one who did that, then it is possible that Solara's men did so. Either that, or Shelley is behind this…"
"Where did they take them from? Was it your place?"
"Yes."
"I will send my men and investigate the matter now. We'll share information with each other in real-time. I am blacklisted at the moment, so remove my name from the list for now. That way, my men can investigate much efficiently."
"Okay."
When matters involved their kids, the two adults became in sync right away and were working together to locate their daughter.
