Drastic Turn Of Events
Carla halted before ordering swiftly, "Go to the restaurant and find out if the buyer is still there!"
"Huh?" Freda was taken aback. "The buyer?"
"Hurry!" Carla ordered anxiously.
"On it." Freda left to carry out her orders.
Carla's hands trembled as she tightened her grip on the cup. She belatedly realized the buyer's image and temper resembled Derelo when she recalled Ilali and Jewel's words.
She had guessed more than once that someone might've taken Zayn away at the fire. Otherwise, they would've discovered his remains.
She even hoped it would be Derelo. if it was her, then Zayn would be safe and sound. My fantasy could be true!
That thought alone made her extremely excited. As long as Zayn is still alive, all the troubles are worth it!
"Ms. Lierger, the car's ready. I'll depart now."
Freda had changed her clothes, preparing to head out.
"Wait up!" Carla called out. "Bring Ilali and Jewel with you. They've seen that buyer before. If you can't find him, go find the manager and staff."
"Got it." Freda nodded. "But you're going to the company soon. If I'm not with you…"
"If you can't come back in time, I'll ask Rogan to keep me company, " Carla replied anxiously. "Hurry, do as told!"
"Okay."
Right after Freda left, Rogan came in to report, "Mr. Giblo has finished the treatment this morning. He's throwing a tantrum in his room and refusing to go to work."
"Tell him he has to go get a checkup at the hospital if he refuses to go to work. After two days of treatment, it's time for a checkup to find out its effect."
Carla knew how to make him comply.
"Yes, Ms. Lierger." Rogan left to convey her message.
Indeed, "Zayn" did as told obediently. "I think I can do it. Work is more important."
"Yes, that's right, " said Rogan happily. "Have some rest and prepare yourself. We shall leave at nine."
"Zayn" nodded unwillingly.
Beaming, Rogan returned to Carla to report the good news.
"All right. Go get ready now, " came Carla's calm reply. She then resumed eating her breakfast.
"Got it."
Though it was only seven in the morning, Northridge was already bustling.
"Zayn" was forced to wake up at five for his treatment.
Carla got up early to deal with work before having breakfast downstairs. As she read the news and emails on her tablet, her brows scrunched up.
For the past two days, the mastermind had been busy creating havoc at the hospital and trying to spread rumors about Carla and Brad, but to no avail.
Today, she was sure they'd take action ahead of time.
She could only take one step at a time, as she had no idea what their plan was.
Her initial worry was gone after receiving a clue about Zayn. Now, she had the confidence to face any obstacles in her path.
Right then, Freda's phone call arrived. "Ms. Lierger, as reported by Rogan, the restaurant is empty. The buyer is nowhere to be seen. I contacted the owner, and he claims that the buyer is a dangerous figure. Terrified of him, they escaped overnight. They didn't even call the police in fear that the buyer will take revenge on them."
"Go to the owner in person to find out the exact situation, " Carla ordered. "Also, go to the buyer's accommodation to see if there are any clues."
"Got it. I'll get to it at once."
