At the same time, the police had also confirmed that Boris had masqueraded as Zayn. Consequently, they had issued a warrant for his arrest.
On top of that, they reminded Zayn to inform them of any new leads he had on Boris, to which he readily agreed.
Subsequently, Zayn wanted to return Giblo Group to its original form by clearing out all the obstacles that had been put in there. His main objective was to put the company back on its initial path.
When he arrived at the office, Jamal, Mosa, Thompson, and all the other board members were already waiting for him.
After announcing the updates from the police, Zayn returned the shares that Newton had unscrupulously purchased to the respective board members.
Ecstatic over the news, the members of the board thanked him gratefully.
Zayn's decision further cemented their respect and trust for him. Even though he had always been a demanding boss, his actions demonstrated his capability and how much he valued their loyalty.
Given that Zayn was never a sentimental person, he gave a short speech before leading Thompson and Jamal back to the president's office.
Meanwhile, Thompson was apologizing incessantly, as he felt guilty for failing to protect Giblo Group. At the crucial moment, he made no impact at all.
Zayn consoled him, "Mr. Thompson, I'm just glad that you made it through the episode unharmed."
"Mr. Zayn—"
"I'm aware of everything that happened." Zayn gave him a slight smile. "You have already done your best. For that, both Carla and I are eternally grateful."
"Hearing Carla's name just intensifies my guilt."
Thompson recalled the time when Carla had just taken over Giblo Group. Back then, he even suspected that she was trying to take over the company for her own selfish gains.
It wasn't until she convinced him with her sincerity that his concerns were allayed.
Thinking back about the incident caused him to blame himself even more.
"That's all in the past now. It no longer matters." Smiling slightly, Zayn added in a tactful tone, "Nonetheless, I hope that you can trust her unconditionally going forward. Of course, it would be even better if you could express your regret when you see her."
"Yes, yes. That goes without saying." Thompson nodded in acknowledgment.
"Since you're not feeling well, you should go home early to rest, " Zayn comforted him. "Once I have gotten everything back on track and Carla has recovered, we will visit you with the kids."
"All right then." Touched by Zayn's words, Thompson nodded repeatedly.
After getting Mosa to escort Thompson out, Zayn stood up and bowed deeply at Jamal.
"What are you doing?" Turning pale in shock, Jamal quickly helped him up.
"Ever since my accident, your faith in Carla never wavered regardless of what happened. In fact, you gave your all against Newton despite the odds you faced. In return for that kind of loyalty, bowing to thank you is the least I can do."
Giving Jamal a thoughtful look, Zayn added sincerely, "Without you, the company wouldn't have survived till my return."
Jamal couldn't help but feel touched by Zayn's words.
Teary-eyed, he replied, "When I made a mistake in my research back then, you were the only one who believed in me when I was forsaken by everyone else. Despite Mr. Jombo's objections, you even spent a fortune to hire me and appointed me to the most honorable position on the board. Moreover, you even gave me a stake in Giblo Group. Even though I had always been in conflict with you over the affairs of the company, I never doubted your capability, charisma, and the fact that you're a good boss that values loyalty.
"After you gave me the responsibility of watching over the company and your children, there was no way I was going to let you down. Besides, I watched Carla grow into her own person. Consequently, I trust her as much as I trust you."
"Thank you! Thank you so much!" Zayn expressed his gratitude from the bottom of his heart.
Considering that he wasn't one for sappy words, those two words carried the weight of his sincerity.
"I should thank you too." Jamal lamented, "To have come back from the dead, you didn't waste our effort at all!"
