If there really were someone who looked exactly like Zayn, then all their deductions would be valid.
However, no one dared to say with certainty that such a doppelganger existed.
Ultimately, deep down in everyone's hearts, they wished that Zayn could survive.
"Her condition is quite complicated. If we intend to help her as soon as possible, I suggest we tackle the source of her trauma, " the psychologist proposed.
"The source…" Knitting her brows, Carla fell into deep thought.
"Ms. Lierger, Ms. Lierger!"
Carla was only brought to her senses after Naya called her a few times.
"Venus's condition is rather complex. If we can't find the cause, she'll have no choice but to go through therapy gradually. As a result, it might take some time, " Naya explained softly.
"I understand." Carla nodded. "I'll go accompany Venus. Thank you for your time."
After staying with Venus for a while, Carla went to visit Benard before leaving with a heavy heart.
Now that I've settled the children down in Mr. Thompson's place and the hospital's security has been reinforced, the first thing I have to do now is to verify the person's identity and determine if he's Zayn. If he isn't Zayn, I'll have to expose him as soon as possible and nip his plan in the bud. But if he turns out to be Zayn, then I'll have to change my approach entirely…
Suddenly, Mosa's call disrupted her train of thought. She told Carla that another wave of rumors was spreading like wildfire. That time around, they claimed that she was planning to confine Zayn at
home and usurp his position since her plans of mariticide had failed.
When the board of directors heard the rumors, they panicked and demanded to see Zayn.
Before Carla could react, she received a call from Jamal, which she quickly accepted. "Mr. Domitos!"
"Carla, has Mosa given you a call? The situation is grave. Despite our best efforts to quell it, chaos has resurfaced again. All the board members called me early in the morning and insisted on meeting Mr. Giblo. If they don't get to see him, they will start taking countermeasures."
Jamal suggested anxiously, "Given the pressing situation, Thompson and I can't hold them back, neither can you. The way I see it, you'd better discuss it with Mr. Giblo and get him to show up."
"I understand."
Carla's brows were tightly knitted. Considering the dire circumstances, she would be in big trouble if "Zayn" would not align himself with her.
"Carla, I know Mr. Giblo isn't in good shape, but this is a special situation. No matter what, we need him to speak to them, however short it is, " Jamal voiced again.
"All right. I'll discuss this with him when I'm back, and I'll call you in the evening."
"Sure. I'll be waiting to hear from you."
Having ended the call, Carla instructed, "Let's head home."
"Yes, Ms. Lierger."
Their car drove toward Northridge.
Freda shot Carla a worried look. "Ms. Lierger, what should we do now?"
She was cognizant of how tricky the situation was. The board of directors was waiting for Zayn to show himself, but the Zayn they had at their home could be an impostor.
If Carla were to expose him, it would only fuel the rumors further. By then, the public would not believe her words but instead, accuse her of coming up with another scheme to seize the Giblo family's assets after failing to murder Zayn. What ensued from that would probably be a barrage of even scarier controversies.
However, if she decided not to reveal the impostor, she would be falling into his trap.
In short, Carla was trapped between a rock and a hard place.
"I've been thinking of this. If that man is an impostor, he would've been busted in less than twenty-four hours. So where did he get the courage to set up such an elaborate plot to challenge me?"
With furrowed eyebrows and an inscrutable expression, she remarked, "But now, I finally understand why he isn't concerned about being exposed at all. That's because he knows that even if I do so, the public might not believe me. Instead, I would fall deeper into the controversy that's brewing."
