Friend Or Foe
Jamal heaved a sigh of relief when he heard Thompson's declaration. Then, he looked over his shoulder, waiting for Brandy to arrive
with his men.
At that moment, it felt as if they were about to confront an impending war. Everyone was extremely tense as they steeled themselves for it.
The whole time, Carla kept reminding herself to be calm and collected. She must not panic or act flustered, lest someone took advantage of it.
However, the moment she entered the hospital, she could not help but pick up her pace. She wanted to meet the person as soon as possible and ascertain whether he was Zayn.
Filled with hope, she prayed he was Zayn. Even if it was part of a huge scheme, she could not care less. All she hoped for was that Zayn was still alive and well.
As long as he was alive, she did not mind any chaos or dangers that might descend upon her later.
"Stop right there!"
At that moment, a few bodyguards stopped Carla and the rest at the hospital entrance. "This private hospital has been sealed off. Outsiders are not allowed to enter. Please leave immediately!"
"How outrageous!" Rogan bellowed. "Do you know who we are? How dare you block our path?"
"Regardless of who you are, you have to leave right now." The bodyguard did not back down either.
"You…"
"This is the Gold family's hospital, right?" Freda held Rogan back and said calmly, "Please tell Ms. Gold to come out."
"Ms. Gold is busy, so she doesn't have time to entertain you." The bodyguard's stance was firm.
"Really?" Carla's patience had already run out. "What if I insist on entering?"
Remaining silent, the bodyguard made a gesture, and a few men surrounded them.
"How audacious of you!"
While yelling, Rogan clenched her fists, prepared to attack.
Unfazed, the bodyguards from the Gold family were about to retaliate when a clear voice rang out.
"Stop!"
Hearing the voice, Carla raised her head and saw Nella walking over with a large group of subordinates.
"Take a closer look. This is Ms. Lierger, the current president of Giblo Group. How dare you bar her from entering?" chastised Nella in a meaningful tone.
When the bodyguards heard what their employer said, they quickly made way for Carla.
Nella shot an unreadable look at her. "Ms. Lierger, come in."
"Thank you!" Carla replied curtly and strode in.
"Ms. Lierger, you'll face retribution for the misdeeds you've done."
Nella walked beside Carla. Although her voice was very soft, it was charged with overbearingness.
"So?" Carla raised an eyebrow and gazed at her. "What are you trying to say?"
Nella's face was glowering. "Mr. Giblo is so nice to you, yet you still tried to kill him… How vicious of you!"
"Others might believe this rumor, but are you fooled as well, Ms. Gold?" Carla found it amusing. "Before my husband got into the accident, he told me that you're a smart woman and that I should befriend you. It looks like his judgment was wrong."
"You…" Nella was purple with rage.
Ignoring her, Carla sped up and soon left her line of sight.
Nella gazed at her figure with an inscrutable expression as if she was pondering something.
"Ms. Gold, do you think that the rumors are true?" her subordinate asked softly.
"We'll find out after seeing Mr. Giblo." A solemn look surfaced on Nella's face. "I find it weird. Is that man really Mr. Giblo? Who was the person who sent him to our hospital? Why did they contact my dad instead of me?"
"This is certainly quite fishy." The subordinate added, "But Mr. Gold should probably know something."
"I asked him, but he refused to tell me anything and even scolded me." Nella seemed to be in awe of her father as she spoke. "Never mind. I'll confirm if that man is Mr. Giblo first."
