Does Not Deserve To Be Forgiven
"Remon, where's Mr. Giblo?" Carla asked anxiously.
At that moment, a familiar figure stepped out. "I'm here."
"You…" Upon seeing how unkempt he looked, she knitted her eyebrows. Not only did he not have his jacket on, but the collar of his Whyte shirt was open with two buttons missing.
"Why are you here?" Zayn walked toward her.
"Explain to me. What is going on?"
Just as she was about to flare up, Brad showed up and pleaded, "Carla, please help me persuade Mr. Giblo."
"Brad, why are you here?"
His appearance caught her off guard. However, she soon understood that there was more than met the eye. At once, she gave Freda a look.
Only then did Freda step aside, no longer blocking Nella's way.
"Now that everyone is here, it's time to clear the air, " Nella remarked. Displeased with Carla's earlier actions, she turned to face her and snapped, "Ms. Lierger, next time, please get a clearer picture of the situation before jumping to conclusions."
With that, she left in large strides.
Barely grasping what was going on, Carla was pulled by Zayn into the private room. Just when she was about to question him, she was shocked by the scene that greeted her.
Benard was restraining someone who was dressed in a strange outfit. The person kept struggling and hurling vulgarities at both her and Zayn.
When Carla got a closer look, she exclaimed in shock, "Lena?"
"She was the one who threw the vase…"
Only after Zayn explained the situation briefly did she catch on. "I was wondering why the banquet was held at this hotel. As it turned out, you were trying to lure the culprit out."
"It seems that we've accused Ms. Gold wrongly, " Freda admitted awkwardly.
"I was the one who sought her help to put up this act, " Zayn explained. "My main objective is to remove all the threats and obstacles that would hinder you in the future."
He had said those words in a nonchalant manner, but it made Carla's heart ache.
He wants to solve all the problems for me with whatever time he has left so that my life would be smooth sailing from here on.
"Carla, I'm going to kill you. I'm going to kill you!"
Lena was still raging at them. Nonetheless, after being pinned on the ground by Benard's foot for such a long time, she no longer had any residual strength to struggle. All she could do was hurl insults incessantly.
"Lena, you are beyond salvation."
Looking at Lena, Carla was reminded of her past misdeeds and found herself being engulfed by sorrow and hatred.
"Back then, you plotted against Lola for your own selfish gains. Despite being punished by the law, you're still blaming me for everything. To make matters worse, you even planned on harming me too. Even death would be too good of an ending for you!"
"Ms. Lierger, we have collected all the evidence of her wrongdoings and are prepared to hand them over to the police, " Benard reported indignantly. "This time, no strings can be pulled. She can never be bailed out and will rot in prison for the rest of her life."
"No, please, " Brad begged. "Carla, I know what Lena did was wrong, and I apologize to all of you on her behalf. Just now, I told Mr. Giblo that as long as you agree, I'll bring her back to M Nation and never let her set foot in Aymo City again. No matter what, she did not cause any significant harm this time around. Hence, I hope you can forgive her for my sake."
"What do you mean by no significant harm?" Carla thundered. "Do you know she caused my husband—"
However, she held her tongue at mid-sentence because Zayn's condition could not be revealed to outsiders.
Brad continued to plead, "Carla, please let her go this one time on account of our friendship. I know that you are all angry because Mr. Giblo was hurt, but his injury has almost recovered. I can punish her in other ways or compensate you—"
"Enough, Brad, " Carla interrupted him. "If you still think of me as a friend, stop begging for mercy on her behalf. She has lost her reason. A vile and heartless person like her does not deserve to be forgiven."
