While Carla and Freda returned to Kindness Hospital, Brandy stayed behind to continue looking for clues.
At the same time, Alpha had gotten out of surgery. However, she had yet to regain consciousness even though she was not in a critical condition.
Naya found that other than the injury from the fall, Alpha also had other issues in her brain area, and there was a need for further consultations with other experts to find out the exact problem.
Upon hearing the news, Carla was both anxious and furious. She was silently blaming herself for failing to take good care of the children. At the same time, she felt resentful toward Newton for not sparing young children like Alpha.
Like her, Freda and Rogan were seething with anger by that. That was especially true for Rogan as she wanted to seek revenge by killing the culprits. Thankfully, Freda stopped her in time.
Despite being overwhelmed with awful emotions, Carla still had to support the family. After freshening herself up with a cold face wash, she instructed Rogan to bring Beta, Gamma, and Venus back first.
After all, the hospital was still a risky location since many people it was easily accessible. She figured it would be a better choice to take the children home since they were in good health.
To further protect the children, she got all the female bodyguards to follow Rogan back to Northridge. In addition, she reminded them to report to her as soon as they came across any situation.
As Rogan was carrying the children, she only nodded without grasping the hidden meaning behind Carla's words.
After their departure, Freda asked, "Ms. Lierger, Boris should've taken the Giblo family with him by now and moved out of Northridge, right?"
"I think so." At that point, Carla was visibly exhausted. "Make a call to find out."
"I'll do it now."
Freda's call with the maid at Northridge lasted over ten minutes. Upon concluding the call, she reported to Carla at once.
"As expected, Boris has taken everybody with him, including Mrs. Bolistin and the maids. It's said that they've moved to Mr. Thompson's place. Isn't it strange? Even though Southridge is still under renovations, the Giblo family has so many villas in Aymo City. Is there a need to move there and disturb Mr. Thompson?"
"You won't understand, " Carla uttered while frowning. "He wants to stay by Mr. Thompson's side and get him to support him."
"What?" Freda's jaw hung slack at those words. "Isn't he a little too thick-skinned?"
"What can you expect from a despicable man like him?" Carla rolled her eyes.
"That's true." Freda could not refute that and continued with her report, "The maid said they've also left with the car, leaving nothing else for us. Also—"
"That's all small matters. Don't have to mind that, " Carla interrupted Freda's words. "When Rogan calls later, tell her not to let anyone from the Giblo family get near Northridge. What we have to do now is protect our place and the kids well. There's no need to be bothered about anything else."
"Got it." Freda nodded in response.
"Also, " Carla instructed after thinking for a while, "contact various media outlets…"
She held her tongue mid-sentence. "Well, never mind about that."
"What is it?" It took Freda a while to realize Carla's intention. "Are you worried that Newton will spread rumors and incite the netizens to use verbal attacks against you again?"
"He'll do that for sure. I bet news will be out before the sun rises tomorrow morning." Fatigue overwhelmed Carla. "I'm afraid I won't be the only one; even the kids will get implicated."
"That can't be…" Freda said without hesitation. "Aren't Mr. Thompson and Mr. Domitos on our side? They won't allow Boris to do that."
"With the way things are right now, I'm sure they won't be able to suppress it, " Carla answered with a frown. "After all, Zayn has the most power in the Giblo Group. That imposter knows he can do whatever he wishes while living under Zayn's identity. How will anybody else have a say or even do anything to him?"
"If that's the case, everyone will be able to see his true colors, isn't it?" Freda pointed out the main point that came to her mind. "Mr. Giblo is certainly not an ungrateful and heartless man."
"Anger would crush any man for having raised a child for seven years, only to realize that the child isn't his. No one, not even someone high on the pedestal like Zayn, is an exception. With that in mind, Boris knows it's not too much to do anything."
Carla was extremely clear about the situation.
