Chapter 386
Zion was the first one to receive news of Mango''s incident.
From the moment Nathaniel left home in a hurry, Madam Ye gathered three siblings together and
told them they were ying a game. Zion felt that something was off.
She usually liked to y with them, but she rarely ever looked so serious.
Furthermore, Zion was an observant child, and he noticed that Madam Ye wasn''t concentrating after
a while of ying together. Then, he used the excuse of needing the bathroom to surf the inte
on his phone.
Although those unsavory photos had been suppressed by the Ye Family, the negative news was still
circting freely and it made Zion angry.
Who the hell was trying to nder his mother?
Where was mommy?
Only then did he recall that he hadn''t seen his mother for quite some time.
When he remembered how hurriedly Nathaniel had left the house, Zion knew that something must
have happened to Mango.
Hence, Zion''s hands trembled a little.
After he walked out of the bathroom, he went straight to Madam Ye and asked, "Grandma, where''s
mommy?"
The question stunned Madam Ye for a moment before she smiled and replied, "Your parents have
some errands to do, so they''ll be backter."
"Didn''t mommy leave on her own? Daddy went to look for her, right?"
Honestly, Madam Ye didn''t know how to answer Zion''s question.
Then, Rita was innocent, and she asked in confusion, "Didn''t daddy and mommy leave together?
What are you saying, Zion?"
On the other hand, Zion was too embarrassed to say anything to Rita. Obviously, she couldn''t find
out about all these issues.
"Oh nothing, I was just asking."
However, Madam Ye knew that her grandson would not just simply ask this question out of the blue.
She then understood when she spotted the phone in his hand.
"Zion, take your siblings inside and entertain them. It''s been a little dangerous out outside, so don''t
let them leave, okay? You''re a smart kid, and I know that you''ll understand what to do."
Zion nodded his head.
He put away the phone, but he didn''t really have the mood to y as he was rather dispirited.
Meanwhile, Rita couldn''t care less about whatever that was going on as long as someone yed
with her.
In the meantime, Madam Ye forbade all the servants in the house from using the inte, and she
even banned the usage of the television.
At the same time, Wisdom sensed that something was wrong too, but the current atmosphere and
Zion''s silence prevented him from saying anything.
Of course, the Hans Family had also received the news.
After Madam Hans saw the unsavory images, she was so angry that she started smashing stuff.
"Thank goodness I had the foresight to kick that rebellious lout out from the Hans Family, if not God
knows how the public would mock us. Look at what happened! It''s so embarrassing! It would''ve
been fine if Mango was shameless in private, but somehow someone has gotten ahold of these
pictures. How shameful! Thank God Queena has passed away, if not I''m sure she''d die of anger."
"Madam Hans, I don''t think this is real. Miss Mango doesn''t seem to be this sort of person."
The old maid next to Madam Hans couldn''t help but pipe up.
"Humph! If she wasn''t, then why would someone nder her? The better question is, how could
someone not nder her when these photos exist? God, I think I can''t stand it anymore. Look at all
these men and look at what they''vemented online. My reputation is in shreds!"
"Madam Hans, only a few people know about Miss Shen''s rtionship with our family. Furthermore,
you already cut ties with her, so you shouldn''t get angry over this at all."
"How could I not be angry? Can we really cut all ties that quickly? Isn''t Dennis'' blood flowing in her
veins? God, if her father knew about this, he would rise from the grave and p her upside the
head! What a shameless whore! All she knows is how to embarrass our family. I''d always wondered
how she could be so cruel to use her mother''s life as bait, but turns out she was always like this!"
The more Madam Hans spoke, the angrier she became. Finally, she needed to smash even more
things before she could calm down.
Meanwhile, Terrance had received news of this while he was abroad, but he still needed time to get
back home. He called Mango to check on her, but unfortunately, she did not pick. Hence, Terrance
had no choice but to use the Hans Family''s contacts to suppress the news, but it only worked for a
short time before it resurfaced again.
Then, the media used the Ye Family of suppressing media freedoms.
However, Nathaniel didn''t care about those things at all.
Everyone was in an uproar over Mango''s situation.
Andrea could finally vent her anger after this chain of events.
"Let''s see if you''ll manage to turn this around, Mango Shen! Didn''t you say you were protected by
the best man in the world? Ha, I don''t believe that a man would love you so much that he would
disregard what everyone says about you. You even have the foresight to draft a divorce agreement.
Unfortunately for you, you''ll never be able to defeat me."
The more Andrea looked at the news, the happier she became.
All those years of sadness and depression immediately evaporated and she felt much better
instantly.
As long as Mango was in dire straits, she would be satisfied.
Furthermore, she would throw a party if Mango died from the shame of those online cyberbullies
cast at her.
Meanwhile, Dn made a beeline for Andrea''s room once he returned.
"Andrea, have you seen the news? Mango is going viral on the inte. Do you think Nathaniel
would be upset? I think I should go visit him, but you stay put okay? It''s far too tumultuous out there
for you, and I''m afraid you''ll get hurt."
When Andrea heard that Dn was on his way to see Nathaniel, she was tempted to follow him.
"Wait, I''ll go with you. I''m concerned about my brother- in-w too, and I wonder how he''s holding
up after this happened to Mango."
At first, Dn wanted to agree to Andrea''s request. However, he smartly decided to decline when
he recalled the conflict between Andrea and Nathaniel. Moreover, it was a very bad time for them to
meet.
"I''ll take you with me next time after all this blows over. Everyone will be in a better mood then."
However, Andrea was rather unhappy that Dn had refused her.
He was always like this, and it annoyed her very much.
However, Andrea still needed Dn''s help so she lowered her head and bit her lip. Then, she said
in a grievance, "I know that Nathaniel doesn''t want to see me. I was stupid back then, and I made
mistakes that cause him to hate me. You don''t need to tell me that. Fine, I won''t go. You go and see
if you can help in any way."
"Don''t think too much of it. Nathaniel is like that as he loves Mango way too much. Now that this has
happened, I don''t think it''s a good idea if you go."
Dn was distressed when he saw Andrea upset, but he still stuck to his principles.
Then, Andrea nodded and replied, "I know, I''m not ming you anyway. Hurry up and go. Oh yeah,
I''m sure Nathaniel is really upset right now, so here''s a box of fine cigars. I know he''s not much of a
drinker, so perhaps he''ll feel better after he''s smoked some of these with you."
As Andrea spoke, she retrieved a box of
Japanese cigars from the drawer.
Then. Dn replied in a relieved manner, "I see that you''ve grown."
"Just go!"
Meanwhile, Andrea avoided his reach and pushed him out the door.
At the same time, Dn did not dare dawdle and he rushed over to check on Nathaniel.
Shortly after Dn left, Andrea followed him out before she ced a call.
"Hello? I''ve already given the cigars to Dn, and everything will be as nned as long as he and
Nathaniel smoke them."
"All right, the rest of it depends on you!"
After that, the other party hung up the phone.
When Dn met Nathaniel, he was extremely frustrated and anxious over not being able to find
Mango.
"Hey Nathaniel, how''s it going? Is there still no news?"
Dn''s arrival surprised Nathaniel, but he nodded in reply.
"Yeah, I''ve looked in all the ces she could be, but I still can''t find her. Ocean City''s not very big,
so where could she have gone? Now that she''s distanced herself from the Ye Family, God knows
what people might think of her."
This was what Nathaniel was afraid of.
The reporters were insane, and no one could predict what they would do if they saw Mango.
Hence, Dn couldn''t help but be sucked into the same anxiety as Nathaniel.
"Well, being anxious isn''t going to help. Have you sent people to look for her?"
"I have, but there''s still no news."
A deep frown was present on Nathaniel''s face.
Then, Dn retrieved the box of cigarettes from his pocket and handed one to Nathaniel. "Have
one, at least you''ll be calmer. We have to be smart about this as no one knows where she''s hiding."
Naturally, Nathaniel did not doubt his best friend and lit the cigar.
"Even Rainie has failed to find her, despite knowing Mango for ages. I really don''t know where she''s
hiding. What if she gets kidnapped, or meets with something worse? I can''t imagine the oue."
The thought of it caused Nathaniel to be even more frustrated.
Then, he took a deep drag of the cigar and he frowned at the sweet fragrance.
"What kind of cigar is this?"
"This is a Japanese import, and it''s my first time smoking it too. But why does it taste sweet?"

Men like Dn and Nathaniel were obviously unused to the sweet taste, but they paid it no mind
since they''d already started smoking it.
Then, Nathaniel took another drag and asked, "Since when did you like this particr vor of a
cigar? This tastes like it was made for women. Don''t give me stuff like these anymore, I hate it."
"I didn''t buy this actually. Andrea gave it to me, and I took it once I saw that it was Japanese."
As soon as Dn finished speaking, Nathaniel suddenly became rmed.
"What?"
"Andrea did. What''s wrong?"
Before Dn realized what was going on, Nathaniel flung the cigar away just as a wave of dizziness
hit him.
"Dn, you f*cking piece of sh*t!"
As soon as the words left his lips, Nathaniel crashed onto the floor.
