Back in the Rolls-Royce, Carla's forehead creased into a frown.
"That was the Giblo family's car."
Right after Freda blurted that out, she glanced at Randy and kept her mouth shut immediately.
Randy's brow furrowed, then he stopped frowning the next second and continued to work on his tablet. It was as though he hadn't heard anything.
Freda whispered into Carla's ear, "Last night, the Giblo family placed Shelley in a safehouse located in a remote area. And today, Mr. Lierger sent someone to capture her, but unfortunately, the Giblo family kept her safe once again. Who would have thought that she's at Southridge right now."
Carla did not say anything, but her eyes were icy cold.
After the fight with Solara yesterday, the incident in T Nation came to light, where she was hunted down to be executed. It turned out that Solara was the mastermind behind all that and Shelley executed her order.
Evidently, not only Shelley was the enforcer, but she was also Carla's mortal enemy.
She wouldn't have minded that he chose not to avenge her, but she found it hard to believe that he actually harbored a murderer in his own home.
At the thought of that, flames of fury started burning in her heart.
"Don't be angry. Go spend time with the kids first, " Rogan said in a low voice. "We'll talk about this later tonight."
Carla turned to look at her three children with sorrow in her heart. She would have made a move against the Giblo family were it not for the sake of her three children.
Does Zayn think that this is all that I am capable of?
It was such a pity that her forbearance and soft-heartedness were not enough for him. Give him an inch, and he'll want a mile.
"What's wrong, Mommy?" Randy asked softly.
"Nothing…" She quickly evaded his gaze and looked away. Then, she pulled herself together and said, "I'm fine."
"Sometimes, what the eyes see is not necessarily true, " Randy said wisely. "Could there be a misunderstanding?"
"Mr. Randuwell, you…"
"Quiet!" Carla interrupted Rogan's words. She turned to look at Randy and said with a smile, "You're right, Randy. I'll get to the bottom of this."
"Okay." Randy nodded and turned back to his tablet.
The fire of wrath burned bright in her heart, but she put a tight lid on her emotions for the sake of her children. She reminded herself repeatedly not to lose her temper in front of the children.
Very soon, their car reached Seacrest Restaurant.
Carla held the children's hands and led them into the restaurant.
As they walked into the restaurant, they were surrounded by Freda, Rogan, and eight other female bodyguards. At the same time, Naya and two female medical staff followed closely behind them.
The restaurant's owner came out to welcome them in. "Ms. Lierger, everything is decorated and arranged according to your instructions. Are you pleased with it?"
"They are the ones to be pleased, " Carla answered and gestured to the children.
"They will definitely be pleased!" the restaurant's owner exclaimed as he clapped his hands together.
The lights in the restaurant were changed to blue lights, which closely resembled the ocean's rays. And the glass walls were decorated with scenes from the underwater world. Accompanied by the sound of ocean waves and the tune of a piano, it was as though they were submerged in the underwater world.
"Wow! It's so beautiful!" Venus exclaimed with excitement. She ran to the middle of the restaurant and watched the images of dolphins swimming on the ceiling. She danced with glee and said, "It's so beautiful. I've been here so many times, and I had no idea that it can be as beautiful as this."
"There's a big shark over there!" Josh suddenly shouted.
"Arrgghh—" Venus screamed in fright and jumped into Carla's arms.
"Hahaha… you silly little girl, " Josh teased her. Then, he stepped on the moving image of a big octopus on the floor and shouted, "It looks so real! This is great!"
Carla walked over with Venus in her arms and coaxed her to stretch out her little hand to touch the 3D image of a big shark.
"I touched it, " Venus said as she clapped with glee.
Carla turned her head and looked at her eldest child. "Come and touch it too, Randy."
"Let them play. I'm not interested, " Randy answered placidly before he walked over to the table and sat down.
