Zayn's expression turned ferocious, almost crushing his phone into pieces.
Benard hurriedly calmed Zayn down. "I believe Ms. Giblo was just trying to scare you. She is aware of your powers and would never dare challenge you…"
Zayn gritted his teeth. "That better be the case. I'll kill her if she lays her hand on Carla."
Benard chose his words carefully. "Calm down. According to Brandy's report, Ms. Giblo isn't in Aymo City, so she must've brought Ms. Wigston to other places. It was no wonder we couldn't find Ms. Wigston."
Beep! Beep! Zayn's phone rang, and he saw it was an incoming call from Solara. "Don't worry. It's only minor abrasions. I've asked the doctor to treat her wounds.""Solara, you've gotten too far this time!" Zayn's tone was murderous. He had a grim expression when he clenched onto his phone.
Solara scoffed, "Is your heart aching for her? You didn't spare Boris when you beat him."
"Let her go!" Zayn was reluctant to drag on the conversation, as the only thing he cared for was Carla's safety.
"No problem. Let's meet at the hospital entrance at seven tomorrow night." Solara readily agreed while Zayn warned mercilessly, "I won't spare you if anything happens to her."
Solara said indifferently, "Rest assured. I've achieved my goal, so there's no point in making her suffer. However, you'll have to fulfill your promise. Otherwise, I have plenty of methods to torture her."
After she finished her sentence, she hung up the call. Meanwhile, Zayn was so angry that his hands were trembling.
It was at that moment Brandy came into the room to report to him. Without warning, Zayn gave the former a punch in the face.
Brandy lost his balance and fell to the ground with a loud thud while blood gushed out of his nostrils and mouth.
"Mr. Giblo, please calm down. Brandy is doing his best in tracking down Ms. Wigston's position." Benard hurriedly advised as he stood in front of Brandy while the latter slowly got up from the ground and lowered his head silently.
Zayn gritted his teeth and growled, "Didn't I tell you to send some men to protect her? Why did she get kidnapped?"
Lowering his head, Brandy said, "I followed your orders and sent Bugara and the others to protect Ms. Wigston in secret. They found out somebody has sabotaged the lift and went to take care of it. They were able to repair it in time, so the lift was stuck on the third floor and didn't fall all the way down to the lowest level."
Looking at his blood dripping on the ground, Brandy continued, "And that was why Ms. Wigston's friend could escape unscathed. Afterward, Bugara and the others were worried that the three kids would be in danger, so they looked into the lift incident to capture the culprit."
Deeply ashamed of himself, Brandy explained everything to Zayn and asked for a punishment to ease the guilt in his heart. "Unfortunately, Ms. Wigston was kidnapped when they had their hands full on the investigation… I have failed you, Mr. Giblo. Please punish me."
Zayn bellowed, "Scram!"
Brandy lowered his head and left the room without making any noise.
Benard wanted to say something, but he didn't have the courage to do so.
Right then, a maid came into the room with a bottle of red wine and a glass. When she saw Zayn's grim expression, her body started trembling and she almost knocked over the wine bottle.
Zayn frowned, and when he was about to lash out at the maid, his phone rang. Looking at the screen, it was Thompson.
Suppressing his anger, Zayn answered the call and said, "Hello?"
Thompson said, "Mr. Zayn, sorry to disturb you. The kids want to know about Ms. Wigston's condition. After the lift incident that day, their mother went missing and I've sent men to look for her, but there is no news of her."
He continued after looking at the three kids, who were looking back at him. "The kids are staying with Mr. Giblo. Although they are safe and have no problems living comfortably, they are too worried about their mother that they could not eat and sleep well. Venus was weeping bitterly, so Randy asked me to contact you."
Thompson chose his words carefully because he knew Zayn was in a foul mood. Initially, he didn't want to make this call, but he couldn't turn a blind eye to the kids' pleas, so he could only brace himself and did it for them.
Zayn lowered his voice and replied, "Tell them that their Mommy's doing fine and she will be back after two days."
"Yes…" Before Thompson could finish his words, a kid's voice sounded from the other end of the call. "Mr. Thompson, please let me talk to him."
