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
When Mango woke up, she found herself locked up in a dark room. She wriggled around a bit, only to find that her hands and feet were bound. Other than that, she had been dumped sideways on a sofa.? As she looked around, this seemed to be a private room in a club. However, it was rather lavishly decorated and the lack of light made it hard for her to see.? A club?? Could it be the Celestial Clubhouse? So, did that mean that she never left the club at all? Mango speculated in her head, but she was unable to move.? Then, she struggled for a moment before realizing that her entire body was numbed. Fortunately for her, this wasn't the first time she'd been kidnapped. Hence, Mango was a lot calmer than before.? Who was the person that did this? Why did he kidnap her? Was it Susie? If it was her, then who would do Susie's bidding since John was in Nick's custody? Mango's mind raced with a million thoughts, but nothi
At the thought of this possibility, Thomas felt even more uneasy. "Well, let's try our best to find her. Now that we still can't reach Mr. Ye, we can only hope for the best for Mrs. Ye. No matter how you put it, we might have some hope with Walter around. His methods are crass, but they might have better luck finding her." To be honest, Thomas had no idea what to do now.? Meanwhile, Rainie cut in with a dissatisfied tone, "That scumbag is undeniably good to Mango, and he's right. Where is Nathaniel? No one can contact him despite running into such a huge problem, so do you think something happened to him as well?" "No, he is Mr. Ye! Nothing will happen to him!" Thomas dismissed Rainie's speculation immediately.? In his mind, there was nothing Nathaniel couldn't do, so nothing would happen to him! However, there was still a niggling feeling of worry in his heart.? There were a large number of calls originating from Ye's Mansion, and Madam
"What's wrong?" Walter had finally calmed down after his ordeal.? The moment he found Mango, his entire body trembled with shock and it only got worse after Mango was sent into the operating theater. However, calmness permeated his body and he was as cool as a cucumber. Terrance paused for a moment and he said, "Andrea's escaped." "The Hans family employs many skilled people, and yet they allowed a woman to escape. Plus, Mango was found in one of the Hans family's clubs. Mr. Hans, do you think I would believe it if you said that your family has nothing to do with this?" Walter's words were harsh and accusatory. Then, Noah quickly cut in, "There might be other reasons for this. Despite what you think, the relationship between Mango and the Hans family isn't enough for them to do something like this." "That might not necessarily be the case. Everyone saw how Madam Hans treated Mango earlier. Now that something like this has happened, I don't beli
Emberly had finally calmed Eugene down, while the Ye family was decorated with many things. For the first time, Zion felt nervous. This kind of nervousness was neither on the battlefield nor on the sea of merchants. To get married, he was so nervous that he was as stiff as a stick. He felt that he was very embarrassing, but he did not care. As long as he could marry his bride, nothing else mattered. "Zion, it's okay for you to be nervous now. Don't be as nervous as you are now when you meet Evangeline later." As Louis spoke, he was slapped away by Zion. Lucas raised the corner of his mouth and looked at him gloatingly. Zion was very concerned about his proposal to Evangeline. Even the Mo family sent gifts over. Evangeline never thought that one day she would really meet her beloved man who wanted to marry her. She was very happy. Emily was already engaged to a grandson of an Elder of the Cabinet. The other party's charac
"Evangeline!" Zion hugged her tightly like a child. Her strength made Evangeline feel a little pain, but she didn't say anything. This man. In the past, she had always felt that he was indifferent and distant, as if he was not a human being. But now, she knew that once this man became enthusiastic, he was very passionate. She felt warm in her heart. "I'm here. Don't be afraid." Evangeline's voice trembled. No one knew how it felt to be trapped in the ice storeroom. But now, these words could only make Zion worried. "Maximilian is handled with?" "Yes." "This kind of thing won't happen again in the future. You won't allow it, nor will I. So, Zion, don't feel guilty and don't blame yourself. People have to face a lot of accidents in the world. I can't guarantee that you will be with me every time an accident comes, but I will try my best to reduce the harm to myself and the child." Evangeline held Zion's face and said
Wisdom sent a question mark to Zion alone, but he didn't reply after waiting for a long time. Feeling uneasy, he asked Kate to close the door and windows at home and drove to the hospital. Zion had been keeping an eye on Evangeline, and his phone was not by his side. Zion only had eyes for her. However, Zion was confused why Wisdom was here. "Brother, why are you here again?" Wisdom finally relaxed when he saw that Zion was fine. "How is Evangeline?" "Her breathing is much steadier. She should be able to wake up in a few days." Seeing his haggard face, Wisdom couldn't say anything. He patted him on the shoulder and said, "She will be fine. Don't worry too much." "Sure." Everyone knew that this kind of comfort was useless, but it seemed that they didn't know what else to say at this time. Today was Wisdom's wedding night, but Zion's mood was so low that it made people feel sorry for him. Wisdom had never seen Zion s
Kate didn't know where their home was, but she didn't say anything. She just leaned in Wisdom's arms with peace of mind. This man could always give her an inexplicable sense of security, making her feel that she would be happy even if she had a normal life with him. Wisdom took her back to Queensfront Residence. It was not the place where Kate's half-sister used to live. It was not in the downtown area, nor was it a group of villas, but an ordinary house. Kate fell in love with it at once. Queensfront Residence was a closed-off residential area. It was well managed and the price was a little high, but for people like Wisdom, it was affordable. "Do you like it?" Wisdom's words brought Kate back to her senses. The environment here was very good, with green hills and clear waters, which made people feel relaxed. "I like it very much." "A wedding gift for Mrs. Ye." Wisdom's words made Kate slightly stunned. "What do yo
Looking at Nathaniel's expectant eyes, Wisdom finally nodded. After Nathaniel left, Wisdom was a little conflicted. He did not want to make Kate feel wronged. If they stayed, they would definitely want to hold a wedding ceremony together. But if they held a wedding ceremony, Kate's mother's side of family would not come to send blessings at all. At that time, let alone getting married, it would be more troublesome. A woman would only have this chance to wear a wedding dress for the rest of her life. If he could not make Kate get married happily, Wisdom felt that it would be fine if they did not get married. But in the current situation, if they didn't get married, everyone would be worried and felt wronged by him. When Kate came back, she happened to see Wisdom frowning and looking worried. She couldn't help asking, "What's wrong? Are you not feeling well?" "No." Looking at Kate's thin face because of taking care of himself, Wisdom's hear
"Sorry, the Ye family didn't take good care of Evangeline to put her in danger." Nathaniel opened his mouth immediately. Eugene's heart ached for his daughter. Seeing her like this, he was actually very angry. Ever since she was young, this girl seemed to be like she was drugged by Zion. No one was interesting to her, and no one was worthy of her attention. She chased after Zion all the time. But if he really wanted to blame anyone, Eugene actually knew that he couldn't do so. The background of the Ye family was there. From the moment Evangeline decided to fall in love with Zion, he was actually mentally prepared for such a thing. But even if he was well-prepared, as a father, he still could not see his daughter like this. Eugene was silent for a long time. Since he didn't speak, Nathaniel naturally didn't speak either. At this time, no matter what choice the Sanchez family made, he had no choice. Because of the Ye family's negligen
"Evangeline! Allegra!" Zion quickly searched and shouted. Evangeline had already heard Zion's voice, and Allegra was already in a coma. Her little face was blue and purple, and she curled up in Evangeline's arms. Her face and hands were covered with frost, and Evangeline was not much better. She wanted to respond to Zion's call, but she couldn't. She was so tired and sleepy. As long as she held on a little longer, she would be able to see Zion. This thought kept echoing in Evangeline's mind, but her eyelids were getting heavier, and she couldn't stand it anymore. In the end, Evangeline held Allegra tightly and fell into the ice. When Zion found them, their bodies were as cold as if they were devoid of warmth. His heart almost stopped beating. "Evangeline! Evangeline, wake up!" Zion picked them up and ran out of the room, but his eyes were red and moist. For the first time, he felt scared. He was afraid
"Where are they?" Zion went crazy. If what Maximilian said was true that Evangeline and Allegra were not here, wouldn't it be a waste of time for him to be here for such a long time? Thinking that Evangeline and the others might lose their chances of being saved due to this delay, Zion couldn't stay calm anymore. However, Maximilian was a lunatic at this time. Seeing that Zion was anxious and crazy, he was overjoyed. Ignoring the pain and scars on his body, he laughed wildly. "Zion, you're also like this today! Hahaha! I just want you to experience this helpless feeling of being capable but unable to save them. Are you very devastated now? Do you really want to kill me? Do you feel that you're particularly useless? So what if the Ye family is rich? So what if you're capable? You're also going to watch your wife and children lose their vitality little by little. Hahaha!" Maximilian's laughter made Zion's eyes turn red, but he really didn't
Evangeline had always thought that she was good at martial arts and rarely was played by others. She didn't expect that she would fall into a trap when she was in the Ye family, where she thought it was absolutely a safe place. When she was playing with Allegra, she smelled a sweet smell, but she was not aware of it. She thought that the servants were doing air processing, but she did not expect that the sweet smell was getting stronger and stronger. In the end, she felt a little dizzy, and then she realized that someone had drugged her. At this time, Evangeline intended to run out with Allegra in her arms, but Allegra's physical quality was not as good as hers. When she noticed, Allegra muttered, "Mommy, I am so sleepy." After that, she fainted directly in her arms. Evangeline knew that something was going to happen, so she quickly went to find her mobile phone. But because she was playing with Allegra, her coat was placed in the hall outside. She could only hold All
