Madam Hans looked at the glass of water hesitantly?and asked, "What's this?" "Don't worry, grandma, you can trust me. It's a medicine that will temporarily weaken your body, but it won't cause any long-term damage. The doctor will find that you are too weak to travel far and suggest that Uncle Terrance cancels his plans. As long as he doesn't send you away, we'll be fine." Andrea's eyes sparkled, but Madam Hans was still a little suspicious. After all, it did sound a little risky. "Are you sure it's safe, my dear?" "Do you really think that I would harm you, grandma? You've been nice to me and even offended the Ye Family and my sister for me.?I won't forget all your kindness. You're not young anymore, yet uncle still wishes to send you to Santell Capital. Though he claims it's for your own good, but it's basically shipping you off to a geriatric home. I've heard that it's just like a prison there, and you'll be watched all the time and not allowed to go an
The phone number looked familiar, and Mango knew instinctively that it was Susie. What could Susie want from her at this hour? When they heard the ringtone, Sisi and Newell swiveled around to see Mango standing there. "Missus, why are you up this early? We were just saying nonsense, don't pay us any mind." Sisi had no idea how much Mango may have overheard, but it appeared that she was still in a good mood. Mango smiled and she said, "It's alright, thank you all." Then she turned on her heel to leave. Mango pretended not to see Susie's call. Since the other party had no intention of being located, it would be a waste of her time to try to track them down. She was in a good mood today and Mango did not want Susie to upset her. Right now, all she wanted to do was to cook a delicious meal for Nathaniel. Who knows what time he got home last night after working late? How was she going to repay him for sacrificing his venture capita
"Mr. Ye and Missus, the Hans family is here," It was the voice of Lucy, the housekeeper. Mango's body stiffened when she heard "Hans family". Could it be her uncle? Terrance was the first person Mango thought of. Madam Hans was getting out of hand, and she could come all the way here to cause trouble. But the real decision-maker should still be Terrance. Nathaniel frowned. "You don't have to see them if you don't want to. After all, I'm the one who started this feud between the Hans and the Ye families. I know how you feel towards Terrance, so just say the word and I'll fall in line with your decision." Nathaniel had passed the ball to Mango. Meaning to say, if Mango willed it, Nathaniel would divert all of his resources to the war with the Hans family without hesitation. Mango was touched by the trust shown towards her. "I don't know, but I don't feel like playing along to Madam Han's wishes. Mango turned her head
Mango noticed the change in Nathaniel's expression and she heard the car engine outside too. She whispered, "I'll go out and have a look." "There's no need.?Let's continue eating." Nathaniel thought that nothing could be more important than his wife eating lunch. As he spoke,?Nathaniel added more food to her bowl. The servants who have been hiding re-emerged, with Sisi along. She checked outside and Sisi then returned while smiling. "Zion and Rita are coming." Mango was astonished to hear the news. "Who is it?" Nathaniel heard Sisi loud and clear, and he seemed a little troubled. "What are they doing here? Send them away." It wasn't easy for him and Mango to have some time together alone. He?had not expected his children to come and disrupt their peace. He was visibly annoyed. Mango finally figured out the identity of the visitors, and she was happy for a moment. "Are you saying that Zion and Rita have come?"
"That's enough, Rita!" While Zion was not paying attention, Rita printed her oily fingers on his originally spotless white shirt. He twitched his lips. "You're a filthy pig, Rita!" "I'm not filthy, just look at how clean are my hands, clothes, and my handkerchief. Oh dear, what's the matter with your shirt, bro? How did you get so clumsy while eating?" Rita turned the tables on her brother and made Zion furious. Mango and the rest, however, began to laugh. Ever since Rita recovered from her illness, she became livelier and even naughty at times. "Alright, settle down. Luckily, I've just bought some clothes for you both to keep here. Come with me to get a change of clothes, Zion." Nathaniel saw how his son was showing restraint in the face of his mischievous sister, and he felt sorry for him. Zion stood and he followed Nathaniel upstairs, as Rita continued making faces at him. "Rita, since when did you become so naughty a
Zion saw Nathaniel's impatience and he said on purpose, "Actually, it's still not quite dark yet.?I can accompany Mommy a little longer since Rita isn't awake yet." Nathaniel's mouth turned upside down into a frown. "You're doing this on purpose, aren't you??You little brat!" "Yeah, what's wrong with wanting to spend more time with Mommy? She belongs to us too, you know. Why don't you let us spend time with Mommy?" Nathaniel had no answer. "Either way, you better leave soon. She's my wife." "But she's also my Mommy!" Zion was right, and Nathaniel had no rebuttal. He wondered if this little rascal was put here on this earth to irritate him. Then he said, "Grandma has been waiting downstairs for a long time now, won't you be considerate of her?" When Madam Ye was mentioned, Zion hesitated for a moment. Grandma did treat them very well indeed. It was her idea to bring Rita and himself over for a visit.?Otherwise, if it were up to
"I'll get it!" Mango yelled out suddenly, which took Nathaniel by surprise. "What's going on with you?" "I don't know, I just have a bad feeling about this phone call. As if something bad is going to come out of it." Mango was completely transparent with Nathaniel. She was feeling uneasy. Seeing her like this, Nathaniel reassured her and he said, "Don't worry, I'm right here. No matter what happens, I'll be by your side." "That's right!" Mango nodded with a renewed determination. She took a deep breath before grabbing the phone off its hook. "Hello?" She did not realize that her voice trembled a little. Nathaniel was concerned as he saw how anxious his wife was and he wanted to take over the phone call. Instead,?he was interjected by Thomas, who sounded equally anxious over the phone. "Missus, where's Mr. Ye?" "What's going on?" Mango's nervousness was amplified when she heard Thomas sounded flustered.
Seeing Nathaniel remained silent, Mango was getting irritated. "What the hell is going on? Say something!" Mango grabbed Nathaniel's arm anxiously. She didn't even notice that her fingernails had scratched through Nathaniel's skin. Nathaniel knew that Mango was worried and he said in a low voice, "They lost them." "What do you mean?" Mango was incredulous. "I thought the Ye family lackeys were all specially trained? How could they lose the trail? It's just a car. How did they manage to lose sight of it?" Mango was on the verge of fainting. Rita was her lifeline, and now she was lost. She had thought that the Ye family were all elite footmen and they would have no trouble locating Rita. Even if they couldn't get her back, those men could at least identify her location. But what was this now? They had lost track of Rita! Mango could not hold it together any longer. "There there, Mango." "It must be the Hans family! T
