"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
Madam Ye never thought that she would need to face such a choice in her life. Alas, Nathaniel wasn't here, so what should she do about Mango as her mother-in-law? "Madam Ye, you can't act rashly in this matter. Please have Nathan come home." Terrance piped up immediately.? Mango was a part of the Hans family, and everyone knew what it meant for Mango to lose her uterus.? She was a good woman, and she didn't deserve any of this.? Even if he'd always believed in Nathaniel, Terrance wanted nothing more than for him to come home right now.? Honestly, Madam Ye found herself faced with an impossible situation.? If she knew where Nathaniel was, she would definitely ask him to come home. Unfortunately, Madam Ye had no idea where he was.? Thomas and Rainie also looked to Madam Ye. Although they didn't speak, their intentions were clear.? Thus, Madam Ye felt extremely pressured.? "I'm going to make a phone call to Nick to see if he can
