Benard stopped in his tracks and greeted Jombo hurriedly.
A smug grin lit up Jombo's face as he limped in on his cane.
After spotting him, Taylor and Shelley hurriedly went over to help him in.
Meanwhile, Jombo's grandson, Zayn, sat on the stage and glared at the old man icily.
Behind Jombo were Brandy and two of his bodyguards. Brandy was crestfallen as he trudged in, his gaze fixated on the ground.Thompson flashed a warm smile. "Mr. Zayn, don't be mad. Brandy is no match for me."
He was implying Zayn was no match for Jombo.
After all, the older the wiser.
Jombo told Taylor to head there alone so Brandy would let his guard down before he could figure a way in.
Even if Brandy locked down the entire Divine Corporation and left orders that no one was to enter, including Jombo, he managed to sneak in nonetheless.
After all, both Brandy and Benard learned their skills from Thompson. Thus, the latter could sneak Jombo in easily.
When Carla saw Zayn's expression, she immediately realized what was going on.
Zayn had always been against an arranged marriage, so he ordered Brandy to seal off Divine Corporation.
Alas, he was one step behind. Jombo had managed to outfoxed him!
Looks like the wedding announcement will go on as planned tonight.
Will Zayn resist it till the end?
Or will he cave in?
Carla's heart jump to her throat in panic.
Logically, she wanted Zayn to marry someone of his status so he'd have no time for her. That way, he might release her soon.
Strangely, she felt her heart thumping anxiously at the turn of events.
Her instinct was telling her she didn't want Zayn to marry someone else.
"What do you want?" Zayn gritted out.
"Easy, " answered Jombo with a grin. "I want a great-grandchild!"
Zayn flushed in anger. He tamped down his irritation and offered in a low voice, "I'll get you one. Don't kick up a fuss today."
"No!" Jombo was adamant. "I'm ninety-six years old. How long can I live? I want a great-grandchild when I'm still alive!"
"You have three!" Zayn mentioned the triplets. "Didn't you have fun with them yesterday?"
"Yes, they are indeed adorable. But they don't carry my last name, " uttered Jombo coolly. "You reminded me about that."
Zayn couldn't find any words to retort. "Stop it. I promise you I'll get married soon and give birth to babies. Will that do?"
"If I don't force you, you won't settle down." Jombo was unfazed. "Besides, I might not like your choice of wife!"
With that, his displeased gaze landed on Carla.
Carla shivered under his menacing glance and looked down.
Following his grandfather's gaze, Zayn realized Thompson was heading toward Carla, with the two bodyguards behind him.
Narrowing his eyes dangerously, he rose to his feet. Jombo told him, "If you want her to stay alive, then listen to me."
Zayn balled his hands into fists.
"Be a good boy!" Jombo pulled him back to his seat and whispered in his ear, "As long as you listen to me, I might allow her to stay by your side."
"What do you mean?" Zayn furrowed his brows.
"Men can fool around, " said Jombo nonchalantly. "As long as you marry Shelley, I won't stop you from fooling around with other women!"
