Chapter 450


    "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 very 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, Rainie returned to Mango''s side.


    After receiving Genevieve''s treatment, Mango felt much better and her blood loss had reduced


    plenty. However, she was still worried.


    What on earth was Nathaniel hiding from her?


    Where had he gone?


    Then, the frown on Rainie''s face when she walked in caused Mango to ask, "What''s wrong? Did


    Genevieve say something about my health?"


    "No, instead I ran into Thomas."


    "What''s so strange about that? He''s always been nearby."


    Mango thought it was normal as it was Thomas''s job to be close to them.


    Then, Rainie looked at her thoughtfully before she said, "Although Dr. Bay wants you to rest, there''s


    something you need to know. I don''t want there to be any surprises."


    "What''s the matter? Why are you so serious?"


    Mango unwittingly became nervous at the sight of Rainie''s serious expression.


    Then, Rainie whispered, "Susie''s escaped from the Ye family''s custody, and it seems like she''s


    been set free. As far as I know, Nathaniel''s vetted all your staff, but since this happened, Thomas


    wants me to warn you to keep your guard up. Susie hates you, and God knows what she''s nning


    now that she''s free."


    That made Mango pause for a moment before she said, "I got it, don''t worry. I''m perfectly capable of


    protecting myself. On the contrary, you might be in danger if you stay with me. Perhaps it might be


    better if you go home."


    "What are you talking about? With you sick like a dog, I''m not going anywhere. Plus, I had Thomas


    seek out Noah to see whether if he knows where Nathaniel is, and to ask him toe home."


    However, her words did not bring muchfort to Mango.


    If Nathaniel really wanted to hide from her, then surely Thomas wouldn''t be able to obtain anything


    from Noah. However, she was just a little confused. Why did Nathaniel leave Ocean City now and


    abandon his family?


    On the other hand, Rainie assumed that Mango was worried when she stayed silent. Thus, she


    said, "Don''t worry, I won''t let anything happen to you as long as I''m here." "I''m not thinking about


    that. In fact, I want to go to the Ye''s Mansion and have a look."

    Rainie was instead shocked by Mango''s sudden statement.


    "Dr. Bay said you needed rest, so why are you going back there?"


    "Susie''s escaped, and I have no idea how my mother-inw and Zion are doing. Despite having


    Nick there, I still think it''s better if I go and take a look."


    In the end, Mango was unable to stay calm.


    Rainie wanted to stop her, but she realized that Mango was worried about her son. Then, she


    muttered, "I''ll have Thomas arrange for transport. Is Ritaing home as well?"


    "It''s fine, let her be with my mother for today."


    After that, Mango sorted herself out as Rainie bid Thomas got the car out for them. Meanwhile, Mrs.


    Shen and Mr. Shen were quite worried when they heard that Mango was heading back to Ye''s


    Mansion following Susie''s escape.


    "Isn''t it a bad idea to go back now?"


    Mrs. Shen held on to Mango''s hand as she spoke.


    "It''s fine, I''ll be back tomorrow morning."


    Obviously Mango knew that her mother was


    worried about her, but Mango was even more worried for Madam Ye and Zion.


    Hence, Mrs. Shen didn''t try to stop her since Mango had made up her mind.


    When the car left the Shen family household, it was justst six o''clock and the sky was just


    beginning to darken.


    Mango sat down tiredly in the back seat.


    To be honest, she had the vague notion that something might be very wrong with her body. Why


    would a simple period make her this weak?


    Next, she leaned back on the headrest to take a nap. Aside from that, Rainie and Thomas stayed


    rather silent throughout the trip too.


    Just as they were pulling into a crossroad, the car suddenly screeched to a halt.


    "What''s wrong?"


    Mango asked when she spotted the massive traffic jam in front of her.


    Then, Thomas whispered, "I''ll go take a look."


    "Be careful."


    Mango nodded slightly.


    There seemed to be some sort of demonstration in front of them, and it seemed quite hectic indeed.


    Rubbing her temples in frustration, Mango had no intention to observe the proceedings.


    After that, Rainie said, "Would you like to take a nap? By the looks of it, it seems like it''ll take some


    time. Furthermore, it''s the evening rush hour."


    "I''m fine. Don''t worry about me."


    Mango knew that Rainie was worried about her, so she smiled weakly to reassure her.


    It didn''t take long for Thomas to return, but there was a grim expression on his face.


    "What''s wrong? What happened out there?"


    Mango couldn''t help but ask.


    Thomas muttered, "There seems to be the family of a deceased woman demanding retribution at


    the door of a club."


    "A club? Which club?"


    Mango was extremely sensitive to the word ''club'' at the moment.


    Thomas nced at her before he replied, "The Celestial Clubhouse. The deceased person is


    Gianna Wood, and ording to them, Gianna had resigned yesterday so her death has nothing to


    do with the club. However, word is that Gianna has been murdered."


    A connection seemed to spark in Mango''s mind.


    Gianna was Nathaniel''s sommelier, and yet her sudden death coincided with Nathaniel suddenly


    leaving the city. Would there be a connection between these two incidents?


    "Let me go and take a look."


    Mango had a sudden impulse to get out of the car.


    "Mrs. Ye!"


    Worry wracked Thomas'' body and he asked Rainie to follow her. Next, he was forced to contact


    someone to get the car.


    Meanwhile, Rainie quickly caught up to Mango.


    "Slow down, Mango. There''s a lot of people here, so don''t run into anyone."


    Rainie followed behind Mango as closely as she could.


    Then, Mango quickly arrived at the door of the Celestial Clubhouse and she witnessed two old


    farmers sobbing at the door with a covered corpse at their feet.


    "My daughter has been working here for three years, and yet now she''s passed away without any


    solid reason. Yet, all they can tell me is that my daughter had quit the day before, but she told me


    that the manager had wanted to raise her sry and she even wanted to bring us to live with her in


    the city. So, how could she have resigned? This club has killed my daughter, and yet they won''t take


    any responsibility. Is there no justice in Ocean City?"


    Gianna''s mother was crying so hard that she could barely breathe.


    Of course, the greatest sorrow in the world was for a mother to bury her child.


    Mango had no idea what Gianna looked like, but from Thomas''s description, she didn''t seem very


    old.


    What were the circumstances that led to Gianna''s death?


    Then, the people around them started a heated discussion about the club.


    After that, the manager of the club walked out before dering, "Madam, it''s true that Gianna


    resigned from our club yesterday, so please direct any questions to the police and have them


    investigate the matter. I assure you that the Celestial Clubhouse will provide its full cooperation with


    the investigation. However, you''ve ruined our club''s reputation by doing this, and we''re not going to


    press charges because of your daughter''s death. But if you continue this, we will have to call the


    police."


    "The police? Are you trying to cover your own tracks? Well, call them then! Do it!"


    Gianna''s mother instantly flew into a rage the moment she heard that. Next, she got on her feet to


    pounce onto the manager, scratching his face without a care for the crowd around her.


    Meanwhile, the manager was caught off guard, and streaks of blood appeared on his face.


    "Do I pay you bodyguards to just stand around? Get her off me! Call the police!"


    The manager of the club became angry and he raised his voice.


    After that, both parties started fighting immediately.


    Meanwhile, Mango wanted to take a better look at the scene but she was pushed aside by the


    crowd.


    Right now, she wanted nothing more than to get rid of the people around her. It didn''t matter if she


    left or entered the club, anything was better than being engulfed by the crowd.


    On the other hand, Rainie was also carried away by the surge of bodies as she watched Mango


    getting further away from her.


    "Mango! Come back! I''m here! Mango!"


    Rainie tried her best to break free, but there were too many people and the presence of the


    bodyguards only made things worse.


    Despite hearing Rainie''s calls for her, Mango was unable to free herself. When she was about to


    turn around and search for her best friend, she felt a cold edge press into her waist.


    "Don''t move, or else you''ll get it!"


    The cold and sharp feeling caused Mango to stiffen involuntarily.


    It was a dagger!


    She wouldn''t be this afraid if it were a gun, but all bets were off with a dagger. If they wanted to, the


    other party could kill her right there and then.


    Of course, Mango had thought of resisting or disarming the person, but the crowd restricted her


    movements.


    "Who are you?"


    Mango forced herself to calm down. At this moment, she could only rely on herself.


    However, the other party replied in a low voice, "Cut the crap ande with me!"


    Thus, Mango was forced to move to the other side of the crowd.


    On the other hand, Rainie became even more anxious as the distance between them widened.


    "Mango! Mango!"


    She waved her arms.


    Of course, Mango spotted Rainie waving her arms, but she couldn''t respond lest she dragged


    Rainie into this.


    The person behind her was a man, and Mango hadn''t gotten a good look at his face. Nevertheless,


    she could hear the threatening edge in his voice.


    Next, the two of them quickly broke free of the crowd, and Mango was led into a narrow alley.


    As soon as they were free of the crowd, Mango immediately turned and she tried to disarm the


    man.


    Unfortunately, he seemed to be expecting this and the dagger sliced open Mango''s arm the moment


    she turned around. A white-hot pain licked up her arm, and blood spurted out from the wound.
