"I know what I'm doing, " Zayn said nonchalantly. "You shouldn't be worrying for the company since you're not feeling well."
"You've done a lot of things in the last two years, but I'd never intervened, " Jombo said, "The Lierger Corporation had already monopolized the entire Southeast Aploth region, and they've now built a strong connection to make a foray into our domestic market. If you still…"
"I know." Zayn interrupted. He put down his wine glass and asked, "Anything else you want to say? I need to rest now."
Jombo sighed. He looked away and signaled him to get out of the room.
"You should sleep early too." Zayn stood up and left.
Jombo watched him leave and instantly let out a deep sigh.
"Don't worry, Sir, " Thompson consoled and poured him a cup of tea, "He might seem cold and arrogant, but I believe he knows what he's doing."
"He wouldn't have allowed the Lierger Corporation to gain the upper hand over him had he known what he was doing, " Jombo said icily, "He doesn't care about the company because he's so focused on finding that woman."
"He's a human, after all, " Thompson said, "We should be glad that he managed to pull himself together."
"What a stubborn man, " Jombo expressed his dismay with a low grunt, "Just like his father. Men who put relationship before anything can never succeed in life!"
That remark had rendered Thompson speechless. He covered Jombo's thighs with a blanket and quietly massaged his feet.
"Forget it. Take me to my room." Jombo knew there was nothing much he could do now as he no longer called the shots.
Nothing he said or do could change anything. He would have to let Zayn handle the problems on his own as he was in charge of the family now.
As Thompson was taking Jombo back to his room, they passed by the living hall and noticed the lights were still on in the study upstairs.
They also saw Benard entering the room with a pile of documents.
Thompson immediately said, "Look, Mr. Zayn is still working at this hour. He still cares a lot for the family business."
"He'd better be, " Jombo said with a nod.
In the study upstairs, Benard passed the documents to Zayn. "These are the details about Ms. Lierger."
Zayn went through all the documents and sneered, "How detailed."
"There isn't a single flaw in her records, " Benard said, "Records from her elementary school to university and even postgraduate studies are all complete. Even her kindergarten results are all well-documented."
Zayn remained silent and continued flipping through her records. There were even photos from her childhood and teenage years.
"Look at how complete her records are, " Benard expressed his thought, "I guess there's still a possibility that she might not be Ms. Wigston."
Zayn let out a cold snort and laughed. "If the Giblos are capable of erasing a person's records, I'm sure the Liergers, too, have the power to create a person's identity from scratch."
Upon hearing that, Benard was at a loss for words.
"Did you manage to find out where she's staying now?" Zayn put down the files and asked.
"Unfortunately, no." Benard shook his head. "The Liergers have been extremely secretive about it. But Brandy is still in the midst of investigating it."
"Tell him to stop, " Zayn said, "At this point, I don't want to create any unnecessary suspicion."
"All right, Sir, " Benard immediately gave Brandy a call.
"The Lierger Corporation has now owned the territorial waters of the South Sea and is ready to enter the domestic market. I'm sure we'll meet soon!" Zayn tapped his fingers on the table.
He could not wait to see Carla again, but at the same time, he knew he had to stay calm and not rush into things.
