Two Promises
Even if Thompson did not voice his worries, Carla understood them all.
Frankly, he was still slightly wary toward her. From the start, he always believed that Zayn's illness would not have worsened if she had not insisted on bringing the three children and Dr. Feroma back to Erihal.
He had never stopped brooding over that fact.
However, Zayn had reminded him sternly not to bring that matter up anymore.
Hence, Thompson never mentioned it at all.
After all, he was not Jombo. Regardless of how dignified his status was in the Giblo family or how much Zayn respected him, he was just an old servant.
His status and glory were all given to him by the Giblo family. He was cognizant of all that.
Since Zayn chose Carla, Thompson had no right to voice any opposition.
Even then, he dared not show any signs of his concerns.
"I know what you're thinking about, Mr. Thompson, " Carla pointed out. "There are two things that I think I should explain to you. Firstly, I'll do my best to support the family. As long as I'm here, the family stands. Secondly, even if Zayn never returns, I'll remain with the Giblo family until Randy, Josh, and Venus become adults and can support everyone."
As a matter of fact, she had wondered what she should do if Zayn were never to return.
Perhaps, when she grew old, she would spend the rest of her life alone in a tranquil place.
"Ms. Lierger… No, Mrs. Giblo…" After correcting himself, Thompson said emotionally, "Thank you. I truly thank you from the bottom of my heart!"
"This is what I'm supposed to do." Carla smiled wryly. "I'm not only protecting this family for Zayn's sake, but also my kids'. Therefore, you have nothing to worry about!"
"I'm sorry. I was being petty, " he apologized.
"No, I understand how you feel, " she said sincerely. "The Giblo family has nothing now, and my children are still young. If I ever thought of leaving, the Giblo family would be ruined. As the only elder remaining in the family, it's normal for you to be concerned. Hence, I came over today to explain everything to you clearly and reassure you."
"I'm glad to hear that. It looks like Mr. Zayn made the right judgment." Thompson was overwhelmed with emotions. "Don't worry. As long as I'm still alive, I'll protect you to the best of my abilities."
"Thank you!" Carla stood up and bowed grave thanks.
"There's no need for that, Mrs. Giblo…"
Thompson wanted to help her up, but he could not stand up.
"You have to accept it, " she stated with a smile. "I have to settle some things, so I'll leave now. Remember to be at Divine Corporation by three in the afternoon."
"Don't worry." Thompson saw her to the door. After watching her get into the car, he remarked, "Mr. Zayn is right. If she weren't around, the Giblo family would've been doomed!"
Carla did not rest in the car. Instead, she continued looking through the messages on her phone. Later, she had to meet a few shareholders and major clients personally and reach a mutual agreement with them before the board meeting.
Some of them were the shareholders of the Gymnasium Project in F Nation, Boba, and the rest.
To save everyone's time, they agreed to meet in a private club at the foot of the hill.
At that moment, they were already awaiting her arrival for a long time.
While the car drove toward the private club, Freda searched up some information and reported, "Ms. Lierger, the private club is the Gold family's property. Should we change the venue?"
"There's no need for that." Carla was unperturbed by the information.
"Ms. Gold has a good relationship with Mr. Naytr and the rest. If she tries to stir up trouble, it'll be very troublesome."
"I know, " Carla replied coldly. "We can't avoid the inevitable. If she intends to play some dirty tricks, there's no way I can get away from it. It's better to confront her upfront!"
