Terrance's words gave Rainie a pause.? "What do you mean?" "Wait, isn't Rita still kidnapped? Is there any news of her? Under the circumstances, Nathaniel would never leave Ocean City. I haven't heard anything about the Ye family's businesses that warrant such an urgent response." Rainie frowned deeply when she heard Terrance speak.? "What the hell are you saying?" Meanwhile, Genevieve hurriedly cut in when she saw that Rainie was persistently interrogating Terrance.? "Hey, let's talk about this later okay? Aren't we here to see Mango? I think it's better if we all go inside." Terrance became nervous when Genevieve said that.? "Did something happen to Mango?" "Mr. Hans, you're an uninvited and an unwelcome guest, so I suggest that you don't go inside. Plus, Mango has no desire to see anyone from the Hans family. Mango and I have a pretty good guess why you're here, and the only thing I can tell you is that she's feeling unwell. If y
Then, Genevieve glanced at the medicine in her hand with a deep frown before she extracted it into a syringe. When she turned back to face Mango, the relaxed demeanor was back on her face again.? "You might feel some discomfort later during the injection, so please bear with me." Genevieve emanated a calm and secure sensation to everyone around her, and despite meeting her for the very first time, Mango felt at ease with her presence.? "It's fine, I'm not that fragile." "Yes, Dr. Bay, stick the needle in harder. She already said that she could handle it." Rainie's mischievous words attracted Mango's prompt retaliation.? "Shut up! Are you looking for a beating? No, I'll make sure Thomas doesn't have time to spend with you.?Hmph!" When Mango brought up the subject of Thomas, a faint blush dusted Rainie's cheeks.? "This is an abuse of power. Watch it, or I might ask Thomas to quit and leave your entire household behind." "Ha!?You're mi
Terrance was rendered speechless after he heard what Rainie said.? "Is this what Mango wants?" "Do you think I'd let Mango know that you're outside?" Rainie looked over at Terrance and she sighed before continued, "Mr. Hans, Mango is severely disappointed in the Hans family and the both of you have cut ties with one another. Is there really any more need to fix things? Your mother is old, and perhaps she regrets some of the things she's done, but so what? You've hurt Mango so much, yet do you expect her to just be fine and forgive Madam Hans for everything that happened just because she's about to pass away? Moreover, who caused Mango to end up like this? I'm sure you know very well who did this." "Think about it. Mango used to be a healthy and robust person, but now she's become extremely sickly. Can you understand how painful it is for us to watch her be like this? You always call yourself her uncle, and you claim to want the best for her and that you care for
As if the phone could sense his worries, Nathaniel's phone suddenly rang.? He subconsciously glanced at his phone and it was the Shen family's phone number. Anticipation and fear flooded his heart.? Was Mango calling?? How was he going to answer if she asked where he was? Then Nathaniel quickly retrieved his laptop and he pretended to be busy. He even turned on the recording on his computer before taking a deep breath to answer the call.? "Hello?" There was a slight tremor and a cautious tone to Nathaniel's voice as he spoke.? "Daddy!" Rita's sweet voice rang out, which disappointed Nathaniel a little. Nevertheless, he still laughed before saying, "How are you, honey? Do you miss Daddy?" "Yeah, Mommy told me that you'd gone abroad. Didn't you promise to take us overseas with you? Why did you leave without us? You're going back on your word,?Daddy." Rita sounded like she was complaining as she spoke.? Then Nathaniel teare
"So, you're saying that all the venture capital companies' executives reported to you?" There was a strange tone to the way Mango spoke.? "Yeah, is there a problem, Mango?" Previously, Nick hadn't listened too carefully to what Mango was saying as he was wracked with anxiety. However, Nick paused when he heard the odd tone in Mango's voice.? "Mango, Nathaniel had me target the Hans family's businesses earlier on, so I wanted to ask him about our next steps. I need to know what he's thinking. Both the Hans family and the Ye family have peacefully coexisted within Ocean City for years, so does he really intend for us to decimate the Hans family's businesses? If not, then does he want me to pull out? I need clear instruction right now because you know as well as I do that the HY Group isn't able to keep this sort of expenditure up any longer. This is essentially a scorched earth policy, and we don't have time to waste. I can't contact Nathaniel, so can you do so fo
Meanwhile, Thomas noticed that Mango was drumming her fingers on the table as thoughts raced furiously through her head. He noted that this action mirrored Nathaniel's closely, and he started to become worried.? "Don't overthink, Mrs. Ye. Mr. Ye could just be busy, and I'm sure he'll call you once he's done." "Yup!" Mango's tone was indifferent when she replied, but her listlessness was clear for all to see.? As Thomas was about to say something else, Rainie stopped him and she gestured for him to leave the room.? After both women were left alone, Rainie asked Mango, "What's on your mind, Mango? Although Nathaniel's not my favorite person, I can see that he's been nothing but good to you and I believe that he's not a cheater. Plus, I don't believe he'll be tempted by some random college student. Honestly, he might just be entangled in some business, so quit overthinking." Worry flooded her heart when she saw Mango acting like this.? Mango was i
"What's wrong?" The expression on Rainie's face was rather grim.? Although Mango was still somewhat angry with Nathaniel, she would drop everything and leave if she finds out that something had happened over at the Ye's Mansion. So, they couldn't let her know no matter what.? Then, Thomas replied softly as he saw how anxious Rainie was, "Susie is missing, and it seems like someone might have let her go free. However, the Ye family have guarded her securely, so how could this happen?" Rainie's brows furrowed together tightly when she heard Thomas's words. "Haven't you vetted all the current staff working for the Ye family?" "I have, so that's why I find it strange." Truth be told, Thomas was also very puzzled.? Then he continued, "Susie loathes Mrs. Ye greatly, so she might be in danger if Susie walks free. Thus, it might be a good idea if you follow Mango around closely. I'll keep a close watch nearby." "All right." After that
A slight pause in Mango's movement allowed the man to violently grab hold of her hand. Then, a harsh numbing feeling raced up her arm and sapped her of all her energy.? "You... " Before Mango could finish her sentence, the man knocked her out cold.? Her body collapsed limply to the floor.? Next, the man caught Mango before she could collapse fully to the floor and he looked around quickly. When he confirmed that the coast was clear, he swept Mango off her feet and stuffed her into a van before he drove off.? Just a moment ago, Rainie had been able to spot Mango, but she seemed to have disappeared the very next second.? Panic started to set in uncontrollably.? "Mango! Mango! Where are you?" She was so anxious that she starting pushing around blindly, but the burgeoning crowd restricted a lot of her movements.? At last, Rainie had no choice but to shout, "Murder! Someone's been murdered!" As soon as she said that, the crowd arou
