Chapter 385


    "What did you say?"


    Nathaniel thought that he''d heard wrong.


    Mango loved her children so much that she will die for them, so how was it possible that she would


    leave them?


    She even released a divorce agreement?


    How could she do that?

    What made her dare to do that?


    Nathaniel''s chest ached with rage. He tried to call Mango but to no avail. She was intentionally


    avoiding him.


    But why did she have to hide from him?


    Didn''t they agree they would work things out together?


    After the incident, did she really think she could distance herself from the Ye Family by releasing a


    divorce agreement?


    Plus, if the Ye Family was protecting her, then those reporters would never dare to write anything


    foul about her or hurt her. However, it was now very dangerous for her after she cut off all ties with


    the Ye Family.


    "Does that idiot know what she''s done?"


    Nathaniel thought.


    He was extremely anxious, but he still failed to contact Mango no matter what.


    Then, he became so angry that he tossed the phone aside. But then, he realized that something


    was wrong and quickly called Thomas.


    "Is Mango at Rainie''s ce?"


    "No, we''re also looking for her. Rainie is worried sick and we''ve looked everywhere Mrs. Ye could


    be, but we can''t find her."


    Then, Rainie''s anxious cries sounded over the phone. It was clear that she was unable to contact


    Mango either.


    If even Rainie failed to contact Mango, then where could she have gone to?


    After thinking for a long time, Nathaniel still couldn''t figure out where she went.


    Meanwhile, the situation unfolded further online.


    Even if the Ye Family suppressed the news and took down the photos, the incident still spread far


    and wide. Thus, it was obvious that the person behind this wanted this matter to get as serious as


    possible.


    Who could it be?


    Who would want to nder Mango like this?


    Then Nathaniel suddenly thought of Walter.


    Could it be him?


    As Nathaniel thought about it, it seemed impossible for Walter to do such a thing as he valued


    Mango''s reputation the most. However, someone had once used his phone to stir things up, so


    Nathaniel couldn''t rule him out just yet.


    With that thought in mind, Nathaniel drove over to Walter''s office.


    Unfortunately, Walter was not in.


    Nathaniel''s eyes narrowed.


    "Where is Walter?"


    Nathaniel''s expression turned distant when he ran into Walter''s secretary.


    The secretary replied fearfully, "Mr. Ye, I do not know where Mr. Song is. He didn''te to work this


    morning. You should know that Mr. Song and his father have been arguing recently, so he hasn''t


    been here very often."


    Nathaniel knew about what the secretary was referring to, but he had to find Walter now.


    Next, Nathaniel asked Thomas to locate Walter''s whereabouts.


    It didn''t take long before Thomas replied Walter was at a casino.


    Nathaniel was so annoyed when he heard the news.


    He''d never liked casinos, and he''d never expected Walter to be at one.


    Hence, he had to drive to the casino to find out the truth.


    There was a bustling crowd inside the casino, and there was a cacophony of noise conning from the


    floor. Some were sobbing over their lost money while some gambled their lives away at the tables.


    The casino was simply a melting pot of people from all kinds of backgrounds.


    Hence, Nathaniel and Thomas felt slightly repulsed by the scene in front of them.


    "Mr. Ye, how about you wait for me outside while I drag Walter out of here?"


    "No, there are too many people here. We''ll talk to him inside."


    After that, both of them entered the casino.


    There was little else but gambling was going on in here, so outside news rarely affected the casino''s


    guests. Thus, this could be the only ce in Ocean City that was least affected by the inte.


    After that, the both of them quickly ascended to the second floor.


    The second floor of the building consisted of individual rooms which contained groups of gamblers.


    All the games inside were high-stakes, and the bets numbered in the millions.


    When Nathaniel and Thomas found Walter, he was proudly in the middle of a winning streak.


    "The game''s over!"


    Then, Nathaniel stepped forward and stopped Walter from cing his bet.


    "What the hell? Does it bother you if I y cards?"


    Right now, Walter looked quite dispirited indeed.


    Although his winnings piled up in front of him, he didn''t seem to be in a good mood and it was clear


    that nothing had gone his way recently. Furthermore, his expression soured when he spotted


    Thomas who was standing behind Nathaniel.


    "What now? Are you trying to show this illegitimate child''s status by bringing him here?"


    s, Nathaniel couldn''t be bothered to stand around and listen to Walter''s mockery. After that, he


    had Thomas manhandle Walter out of the room with a wave of his hand.


    "Hey! Let go of me! Don''t think that I won''t hit you, Thomas Song!"


    However, Thomas only released Walter after they left and entered a new room on the third floor.


    After that, Walter leanedzily on the sofa before he asked, "What the hell do you want? If you want


    the Song Family''s riches, then sorry, I''m not letting you have a dime. Do you think I''ll hand over the


    Song Family''s assets to an illegitimate child like you? Dream on!"


    When Nathaniel saw him acting like this, he figured that Walter might not have any idea what had


    happened outside. Nevertheless, he still had to ask.


    "Do you know what''s going on out there?"


    "What does it have to do with me?"


    Truth be told, it was a little difficult for Nathaniel to answer Walter''s question.


    The fact was, this had nothing to do with Walter. However, it was the truth that his phone was the


    source of the nudes initially.


    "Give me your phone!"


    "Humph! Do you think you''re a cop? Why should I give you when you ask for it?"


    Before Walter finished his words, Nathaniel had snatched the phone out of his hands.


    "Hey! Sh*t! Don''t cross the line, Nathaniel!"


    After that, Walter tried to get his phone back but to no avail.


    It was child''s y for Nathaniel to bypass the lock on Walter''s phone.


    With just a few key taps, the phone was unlocked.


    However, Nathaniel frowned when he found no nude photos of Mango on the phone.


    "Have you had any contact with Mango?"


    "Huh?"


    Walter dug his ears as he thought he''d mistakenly heard what Nathaniel said.


    "Mr. Ye, do you think that Mango would seek me willingly after what happened with Rainie?


    Honestly, I''m in a difficult position as I haven''t been able to prove my innocence, so what else can I


    do? Wait, what are you talking about? What happened to Mango?"


    After that, Walter sat up nervously.


    On the other hand, Nathaniel just threw Walter''s phone back to him before he turned and left.


    "Nathaniel, stop! What happened to Mango? What did you do to her?"


    Right now, Walter looked like he desperately wanted to fight Nathaniel, but the other man couldn''t


    even be bothered to give him the time of day.


    "You don''t have to worry about her. But do call me if you see her."


    After that, Nathaniel led Thomas out of the room.


    "Hey, Nathaniel, what do you mean? Tell me what the hell is going on!"


    Walter shouted from the door, but Nathaniel and Thomas had walked away quickly without sparing


    him a second nce.


    Not long after they left, Walter made his way to the room next door.


    Inside, Mango sat there with a thoughtful look on her face.


    "I''m sure you heard that. Nathaniel somehow suspected that you are here. Are you sure you want to


    stay? This ce hosts a lot of riffraff, and although it''s technically safe, you should not stay here for


    long. Nathaniel is not someone to be toyed around with, and he''s nearly driving himself insane


    looking for you. Are you sure you won''t see him? I heard that the Ye''s Mansion has been


    surrounded by reporters and Nathaniel told them that you''ve been ndered. Plus, he said that the


    Ye Family would not let go until they find you, so would you reconsider?"


    "If you think I''m a burden, then I''ll leave."


    There was a rough edge to Mango''s voice.


    At that, panic rose in Walter''s chest.


    "That''s not what I meant. I''m just afraid that something will happen to you. Plus, I can see that


    Nathaniel is truly worried about you. You should at least let him know where you are."


    "I told you, I''ll cut all ties with you if you tell Nathaniel that I''m here."


    That was sufficient to make Walter shut up immediately.


    "Fine, I won''t tell anyone. What do you want to eat? I''ll go get something for you."


    "I have little of an appetite, but I''d appreciate it if you can get me aptop. Plus, my phone is kaput


    so please get me a new SIM card."


    "All right."


    Then Walter left after he finished speaking.


    After that, Mango leaned on the bed for support. She knew and understood that Nathaniel and


    Thomas had been by earlier, and her heart still ached when she heard his voice.


    Why was he looking for her?


    Since he already despised her, why make the effort?


    Wouldn''t it be better if she''d decided for him, since he clearly wasn''t brave enough to voice his


    opinion?


    Mango''s eyes filled up with tears.


    She felt a sheer sense of irony when she thought of the proposal and the set of rings they had


    made recently.


    If Nathaniel had just told her about the nude photos from the start, perhaps she wouldn''t have


    overthought the issue.


    But he didn''t reveal it. Not only that, he''d even gone to fight Walter. So, what did it mean?


    It meant that Nathaniel was affected by it!


    It meant that he was pissed!


    Nevertheless, he still smiled and doted on her whenever she was around. Hence, how could she


    bear it?


    No matter how well he treated her, he was still affected by the pictures. If not, why would he take the


    pills? Wasn''t this incident why he refused to sleep with her to the point of making himself impotent?


    The more Mango thought about it, the more hurt she felt.


    She needed to stop thinking about her and Nathaniel. If not, she could not function well.


    Walter was right. She couldn''t keep hiding here forever. Although it was rtively shielded from the


    outside world, it wasn''t a long-term solution.


    She needed to find the mastermind behind all this. She needed to find the person who was trying to


    destroy her and the Ye Family!


    Moreover, this incident wasn''t aimed at her alone.


    s, Mango couldn''t leave, nor could she use her own phone. So, she was only left with a


    computer as her only link to the outside world. Plus, she had no idea if Zion and Rita knew about


    what happened or whether they could bear seeing it.


    Mango''s heart clenched with worry as soon as she thought of this. She would never let anyone hurt


    her family or her children!


    Absolutely not!
