"Alright. I understand." Randy agreed to it reluctantly.
"You should go to bed now, " Zayn said gently. "Also, take care of yourself!"
"Sure. Goodbye, Daddy, " Randy replied obediently and hung up the phone.
Overwhelmed with emotions, Zayn gazed at the wedding photo of Carla and him on the table while holding the phone.
Deep down, he understood that Carla would choose to marry Lucas even if she didn't love Lucas.
Given that Lierger Corporation was in trouble recently, she probably had to do so for the bigger picture.
Well, I can only resort to business tactics to upend the situation—
With that, Zayn called Benard.
"Mr. Zayn, are you looking for me?"
Benard was sleeping when Zayn called him. After hanging up the phone, Benard put on his clothes hastily and came to see Zayn.
"Get all documents related to the Gymnasium Project in Pillere for me. Also, inform all shareholders to see me except for Lucas, " Zayn instructed.
"Ah?" Benard was startled for a while before he nodded in response. "Yes, Sir."
Benard left hurriedly to start doing his job but almost bump into Brandy who came up to him.
"You seem nervous. Where are you heading to?" Brandy asked.
"Mr. Zayn instructed me to work on something, " Benard replied.
"Has he changed his mind? Is he willing to receive treatment?" Brandy asked impatiently.
"It's about the Gymnasium Project in Pillere, " Benard frowned as he said, "I feel curious too. Why is he still pondering about business instead of receiving treatment?"
"What is going on with him?" Brandy said nervously. "He can't go on like that."
Benard said in a low voice, "Well, I think he had a sleepless night yesterday because he looked pale. How about asking Mr. Thompson for a favor? Perhaps the elder is the only one who can persuade him."
"Thank you for the reminder, " Brandy rolled his eyes and added, "but I've already asked Naya to invite him."
Benard heaved a sigh of relief and replied, "Naya is indeed conscientious. Anyway, I have to continue my work."
"Off you go."
Carla felt dizzy because she didn't sleep well last night. However, she had to get out of bed when someone knocked on the door in the morning.
"Ms. Lierger, Sir Lucas, and Sir Carl are here, " Rogan reported outside the room.
‘Ah?" Carla got up and said hastily, "Please serve some tea for them in the living room. I'll be there right away."
"Yes."
Rogan immediately went downstairs to welcome the guests.
Also, Freda invited them to be seated and asked the maids to serve the best coffee.
Carl sat on the extravagant couch and enjoyed the coffee gracefully.
Meanwhile, Lucas kept gazing upstairs, waiting impatiently for Carla.
"Hapilia, I don't want to have heavy breakfast today."
Hapilia brought Venus out of the room while holding Venus's favorite stuffed alpaca. Venus looked particularly cute in her beautiful Whyte dress.
"Ms. Venus, breakfast is ready. I've prepared your favorite food."
The butler Mrs. Matrom was fluent in Chanaean, even though she was from Erihal.
"Is that true?" Venus was delighted. "Did you cook it yourself, Mrs. Matrom?"
"Hehe, we have a professional cook who prepared the food, " Mrs. Matrom said smilingly. "Let me bring you downstairs."
"Sure. Thank you, Mrs. Matrom."
Venus followed Mrs. Matrom to go downstairs joyfully.
"Venus!" Sir Lucas came up to Venus when he saw her. "Do you feel well?"
"Oh, I—" Venus was shocked to see Lucas. As such, she immediately covered her stomach and pretended to feel sick. "I have a stomach ache now—"
"Venus, what's wrong?" Hapilia squatted nervously to check up on Venus.
Just then, Randy came out of his room and said, "Venus, you should go back to your room and get some rest."
"Okay." The next moment, Venus held Hapilia's hand to return to her room.
"Hmm—" Lucas was rooted to the floor.
Then, Randy said politely, "Dr. Feroma is a good doctor. Venus feels a lot better after having the medicine that he prescribed. She might have a dull pain from time to time, but it's not a serious matter. Anyway, thank you for your concern, Sir Lucas!"
