Chapter 227


    A chill swept through Mango''s heart as the true intention of Yetta’s words had hit her.


    It turned out that from the beginning, she was just an obstacle to Yetta. However, Yetta''s five-year-


    long deception was very effective, and Mango begrudgingly admired her for that.


    "Did you kidnap my parents for Abyss?"


    Mango no longer wanted to understand the convoluted rtionship between Yetta and Abyss.


    Previously, she had always thought that they were innocent. However, after she heard Yetta''s


    words, Abyss could very likely be using Yetta.


    So what was the truth?


    Actually, she had no idea. Instead, she just wanted to know where her parents were.


    Yetta found that Mango was not interested in what had happened between her and Abyss at all, so


    she smiled bitterly.


    “Abyss is deeply in love with you, but you did not appreciate it. Mango, sometimes I really think that


    your heart is so cold that it’s made of ice."


    "How can you im to know how I feel when you never went through the things I did? I''m grateful to


    Abyss for saving me five years ago, and I''m thankful to you for giving me stic surgery. However,


    this doesn''t mean that I have to ept all your feelings and emotions. Frankly, I never forced Abyss


    to like me, nor did I force you to be friends with me. I thought that your kindness was real and


    I'' II remember it for the rest of my life, but what do you tell me now? All that was fake! Then, what


    was real? Yetta, have you ever felt the slightest bit of true sincerity toward me over the past five


    years? You know best how I treated you and Abyss. I couldn''t reciprocate his feelings, so I could


    only just work hard to contribute to his wealth. I can repay my debts without going against my own


    feelings, right?"


    Initially, Mango had no intention of saying this, but then she saw Yetta''s stubborn expression.


    Hence, she sighed and said it anyway.


    Yetta was stunned for a moment and she suddenly said with a smile, "Sometimes I envy you very


    much, Mango. You’re always so sure of yourself, of what you need and what you have to do. Unlike


    me, I’ve lost my true self for the love of one man."


    Did Yetta regret now?


    Mango wasn''t sure of that, but now she was in a hurry to find her parents.


    "What do I have to do before I can see my parents?"


    Mango looked at Yetta cidly, but she no longer interested in her best friend’sints.


    Then, Yetta spoke with a bitter tone in her voice, "Yeah, Abyss is the one who came up with the idea


    to kidnap your parents. He wants to use them to control you. Plus, I''m the only one who knows


    everything about your life for the past five years aside from him. If he can''t be the viin, then I will."


    "So you were the one who called my parents and had them apply for passports to leave the


    country?"


    Mango suddenly realized what was going on.


    Previously, she thought that it was Newell that did this, but it turned out not to be him. In fact, it was


    strange to Mango because who else would know so much about her affairs and her parents


    though?


    To her shock, it turned out to be Yetta!


    Moreover, it was even Abyss'' idea!


    That being said, Abyss had been nning everything from that moment onwards.


    Indeed, Abyss’ permission for Mango to return home to look for Nathaniel in order to conduct a


    paternity test for Rita was a farce.


    In truth, he was afraid that he would lose Mango and that her feelings for Nathaniel would be


    rekindled. Hence, he decided to use her parents to control Mango.


    However, Abyss did not expect the n to be foiled by both Nathaniel and Mango. In order to make


    her parents stay in the country, she almost told them about her identity.


    Furthermore, Yetta and Abyss were the only people at the time who knew her that well.


    Even when Mango knew that someone had attempted to lure her parents overseas, she did not


    dare to be frank with her parents. So the parents were kept in the dark, and it was more likely that


    they would be able to lure out their parents this time.


    "What have you done to them?" Mango''s gaze was cold as she spoke.


    Mango found it hard to cope with the betrayal from the people that she cared about the most.


    However, the feeling of being set up made her furious.


    Now that things had reached this point, Yetta found it unnecessary to continue concealing the truth


    from Mango.


    She sipped at the tea in the teacup as she spoke. "As I said, I never did anything to them. Can’t you


    see that the photos you saw were all photoshopped? s, people do lose all rational thought when


    they''re worried. At first, Abyss wanted to kidnap your parents in order to make youe back to


    him. It doesn''t matter to him that he can''t have your heart as long as you physically stay with him.


    However, I''ve changed my mind."


    "What do you mean by that?"


    It was then that Mango realized Yetta and Abyss had different opinions on this issue.


    Yetta murmured, "The only man that I''ll ever want in my life is Abyss. Over the past five years, I''ve


    turned down all my suitors because I know deep down in my heart that Abyss is the man I’m going


    to marry. I’ m destined to be the young madam of the Tang family, so I won''t let you spoil my ns."


    "Are you going to kill me?"


    Immediately, Mango’s senses went on high alert.


    Was this person still Yetta that she befriended all those years ago?


    Although these five years of friendship may be a farce, would Yetta really kill her? Yetta looked at


    Mango''s surprised expression and she spoke with a bitter smile on her face, "Do you think I’ve


    be a cold-blooded killer?"


    "No, that’s not it... I was just a little shocked, that’s all."


    After Mango took a moment to calm down, she realized that her reaction was rather exaggerated.


    After all, Mango had just found out that Yetta liked Abyss.


    The two of them were silent for a long time. Meanwhile, Yetta sipped the tea quietly, but it tasted


    nd to her.


    It turned out that once a person changed the state of mind, they would not have the same feeling as


    before.


    Then, Yetta set her teacup down on the table before she said softly, "Just leave, Mango. Bring your


    whole family away from here and go back to Ocean City, and never step foot in the United States


    ever again, okay?"


    Mango found herself stunned once again at Yetta’s words.


    She looked up and she saw the pain in Yetta''s eyes and a wave of pain swept through Mango''s


    chest.


    "Are you going to risk everything just for Abyss?"


    "Do I have a choice? I knew that I could never turn back after I fell in love with Abyss. I knew he was


    madly in love with you over the past few years, but I can''t help chasing after him. Now that you''ve


    found your soulmate and your children, why don''t you go back? Why do you insist on staying in


    America? No matter how you look at it, this is Abyss'' turf and regardless of how brilliant Nathaniel


    is, he can''t be sessful here. You''ll never know how deep Abyss'' connections run. I was the one


    who kidnapped your parents and lured you here today, but this was all his n. Plus, don’t you


    know that he''ll use the media to stall Nathaniel? In a while, his men will arrive to capture you and


    when that happens, you won''t be able to leave even if you wanted to."


    Yetta was a quiet person, so it was rare for her to say so much.


    Then, Mango whispered, "If you let me go, won’t Abyss hurt you?"


    "That''s none of your concern. I have my own ns to deal with that, but we''d better not contact


    each other from now on. Mango, our friendship is over."


    "You’re cutting contact with me over a man?"


    Mango was quite distressed at this.


    Over the years, she had be quite attached to Yetta.


    However, Yetta quickly turned her head away to avoid looking at Mango.


    "Yeah, I did it for the sake of a man. Sometimes the friendship between women can be quite


    ridiculous. No matter how solid it was or how close we were, it became fragile just over one stupid


    man. I was orphaned since my childhood, and I worked very hard to achieve the sess that I have


    today. So, I won''t let go of the man I love nor will I let go of my future. Thus, whatever that was


    between us over the past five years is over."


    Yetta took a deep breath before she got up and walked toward the room inside.


    Mango was in a bad mood but she knew that it was pointless to say anything further. Moreover, she


    could not stay here for long because Nathaniel may need her help and she still had no idea how to


    help her parents.


    She quickly followed Yetta and they arrived at a random room in the vi.


    "Dad, mom..."


    Mango was very worried when she saw Mr. and Mrs. Shen. Right now, theyy motionless on the


    bed, which frightened Mango.


    However, Yetta stopped her from going over to them.


    This belongs ? N?velDra/ma.Org.


    "Rx, they''re just asleep for the time being. I''ve sedated them and it''ll be a while before they wake


    up. I''ve arranged a boat for you and them to go first, and I''ll find someone to take Nathaniel and


    your children to leave the country afterward."


    Yetta''s words stunned Mango.


    "Why do I have to leave now? My daughter can''t leave now and she won''t survive the journey!


    What''s more, she''ll be devastated when she finds out I''m gone!"


    "Mango, this is not up for negotiation. If you don''t leave, all of you will die here. Your entire family


    will be killed except for you!"


    Yetta''s words astonished Mango.


    "What on Earth is Abyss going to do?"


    "Don''t you understand what he''s nning? He wants you! Except for you, he will ughter


    everyone in the Ye family including your children. Plus, Nathaniel came from Ocean City to trip


    Abyss over and force the Tang family into submission. This is an insult to the Tang family, and a


    challenge to Abyss! Are you really so naive to think that Abyss is as gentle as he seems? He''s a


    ''beast'' in the business world, and he won''t let anyone from the Ye family survive because he wants


    you. Everything is on his terms now! If the Ye Family were still alive, do you think he’ll ever be at


    ease as long as you still concern for the Ye family?"


    Yetta suddenly raised her voice.


    The pitch of Yetta’s words hit Mango like a truck.


    "No! He’ll never do that! He watched Rita grow up, he..."


    "Yeah, he watched Rita grow up, but he still gave her morphine, didn''t he?"


    Yetta''s words struck Mango like a bolt from the blue.


    Truthfully, she had always wanted to forget the incident that ever happened and she was afraid to


    face the facts. However, she did not expect that it was finally time to deal with Abyss’ betrayal.


    Nevertheless, Yetta couldn’t care less about Mango’ s feelings. She said coldly, "There is a boat


    waiting behind the vi. You need to leave with your parents first. Go!"


    "I won''t leave! I can''t leave either!"


    Mango’s voice carried a tinge of determination.


    "Are you insane?" "Yetta, I know that you''re doing this for my own good and you don''t want to hurt


    my parents. But I do know that if I leave, Abyss will never spare Nathaniel or my children. Your


    promises to get them out of the United States are just empty words to cate me. In fact, you and I


    know what Abyss will do to them, right?"


    Mango''s question made Yetta''s expression suddenly darken.
