Chapter 766


    "Who is this?"


    Mango couldn''t help but ask when she saw a girl that she didn''t knew.


    Sophia looked at Nathaniel in confusion as well.


    Nathaniel brought the girl in and hinted at her to introduce herself.


    The girl was a little shy, but she still introduced herself in a low voice after seeing Mango and


    Sophia, "I''m Itzel Zhang''s daughter. My mother is missing."


    "Who is Itzel Zhang?"


    Mango subconsciously looked at Sophia.


    Sophia quickly exined, "Itzel is our nanny. She said that her daughter was ill, and asked me for


    some money then left. What do you mean that she''s missing?"


    The girl bit her lower lip and pondered for a while before saying, "My name is Iona Abbott. Itzel is


    my stepmother. She mistreated me ever since I was a child. I would only drink some ginger soup to


    get me through it whenever I am sick. I rarely go to the hospital. A man came to see her yesterday,


    and she went out for a while. She barely spoke to me when she came back, and after going out this


    morning she never came back. It was not until this uncle came to look for me that I found the


    family''s deposit and household register missing."


    "What?"


    Sophia was very surprised.


    "The real estate agent had said that Itzel did an excellent job at taking care family, which is why I


    chose her as a nanny in the first ce."


    Iona mumbled, "My father left a sum of money when he passed away in a car ident. Because


    she was afraid that people would say she mistreated me, she would put up a facade and be kind to


    me when we''re out in public ces. But it would be the opposite when we''re at home. My father left


    that money to me, but now it''s gone. My mother might''ve run away with that guy. I know who he is.


    He works in a pub.


    After listening to her, Mango and Sophia would be naive if they still believe that the food oil on the


    floor was an ident.


    "Who would have such hatred against our family?"


    Sophia had been in the nursing home for quite a while now, so she had no idea how people could


    be so cruel and disgusting. She was a little overwhelmed after hearing such things.


    Mango looked at Iona and asked, "Do you know that man?" "I sort of knew him. After my father


    passed away, he came to our house several times, but I didn''t like it. My mother told me that we


    might live together in the future, but I really didn''t want to. She probably ran away with him."


    "What''s the name of this man?"


    "I''m not sure, but everyone calls him Cyrus."


    Iona''s words caused Mango''s brows to furrow slightly.


    Nathaniel spoke up at this moment.


    "I''ve done some research. Cyrus''s full name is Cyrus Fang. Coincidentally, he is Mrs. Song''s


    younger brother."


    "Huh? Which Mrs. Song do you mean?"


    Mango didn''t know how to react for a while.


    Nathaniel looked at Sophia and Mango immediately understood, but she couldn''t deny that things


    turned a little awkward.


    Sophia seemed to understand as well as she said with a wry smile, "She calls herself Mrs. Song


    now?"


    "Aunty, don''t treat me as an outsider. You also know that Carter..."


    When Mango found out that Sophia was her aunt, it was a little weird for her. However, she still


    called her auntie like how Sophia wanted her to.


    Sophia was d but still somewhat emotional as she said, "For all of the years I''ve spent in the


    nursing home. Never once had I let go of my feelings for Carter. It seems unreasonable for me to


    continue holding on to the title Mrs. Song after so many years. It''s time for me to give it back to who


    it truly belongs."


    "No, Auntie Liu, you may not understand what I mean. Cyrus is the younger brother of Delh. Her


    younger brother knows your nanny, Itzel. And the reason why you fell was that someone purposely


    poured food oil on the corridor so that you would slip and fall. If I guessed it correctly, they intended


    to let you identally fall from the stairs and had a fracture, or injuries or something more serious,


    or they wanted to kill you behind your back. So I think you should tell Mr. Song about this. I don''t


    believe that her younger brother dared to do anything without Delh''s instruction."


    Nathaniel''s words were very straightforward.


    Mango knew that Nathaniel truly thought of Walter as his brother. Therefore, he did not want Sophia


    to be in danger. The current situation made Mango very sad.


    "Nathan, I found out something just now."


    "What is it?"


    "Aunt Liu and my mother, Queena are biological sisters, but one is surnamed after mother, and the


    other is surnamed after father."


    Nathaniel was stunned for a moment, but he immediately turned happy.


    "Nice to meet you, auntie."


    He greeted her in a very well-behaved way.


    Sophia looked at him gloomily and said, "Don''t think that I don''t know the reason behind why you''re


    so happy. It''s because now that I''m Mango''s aunt, Walter and Mango had be cousins.


    Therefore they wouldn''t have a chance at being together anymore. You''re relieved, aren''t you?"


    Nathaniel giggled. Obviously, Sophia had guessed it correctly.


    Mango gave up.


    They''ve gone through so many things together over the past few years. How was it that Nathaniel


    was still so narrow-minded?"


    She said it herself that her rtionship with Walter wasn''t what he thought about, yet he was still


    insecure.


    Nathaniel did not dodge Mango''s gaze. Instead, he smiled and said, "My heart is now at ease."


    "You are really..."


    Mango couldn''t find a suitable word to describe


    Nathaniel.


    Nathaniel did not care. He turned and looked at Sophia and said, "Aunt Liu, how do you want to


    deal with this matter? After all, it''s your family''s affair. It''s inappropriate for me to intervene."


    "How is it inappropriate? Aren''t you my niece''s son-inw? What''s wrong? Are you trying to get rid


    of me now?"


    Sophia''s words shocked Nathaniel and he hurriedly said, "Of course not. I just think that Mr. Song


    may have some opinions on me. After all, his other son is my special assistant and deputy general


    manager."


    Speaking of Thomas, Nathaniel felt a little embarrassed.


    This is the property of N?-velDrama.Org.


    After all, Delh was Thomas''s birth mother, and now Sophia was Mango''s aunt. The rtionship


    between them was soplicated that he really didn''t know how to deal with it.


    Sophia couldn''t help but feel a little heartbroken when she heard that Carter has a son, even though


    Walter did mention it before.


    "I heard that Thomas and Walter are about the same age?"


    "Yes, there is only a year difference between them. Thomas is one year younger than Walter."


    Mango red at Nathaniel once he finished


    talking.


    He couldn''t help but feel that he had been wronged. He was speaking the truth. Besides, he couldn''t


    hide this matter even if he wanted to.


    Iona was lost in their conversation.


    "Uhm so... can I go now?"


    "Are you the only one at home?"


    Mango couldn''t help but ask when she saw how pitiful she was.


    Iona nodded.


    "I know the ce where my mother and Cyrus go for their dates, but I''m not sure if they are still


    there. If you want to find them, I can take you there, but I hope you can take back the money my


    father left for me, is that alright?"


    Iona wasn''t a clueless kid. She even demanded something from them. Mango was a little surprised


    at this, but it was understandable.


    She was a child who had lost her biological father at a young age and was mistreated by her


    stepmother. It seemed like her life afterward would be a problem.


    Nathaniel nodded.


    "Okay, I''ll go with you."


    "What about us?"


    Mango looked at Nathaniel.


    Nathaniel smiled and said, "Aunt sprained her ankle, so she needs a lot of rest. As for you, stay


    here and take good care of your aunt. Don''t worry about it. I got it covered."


    "Can you call Walter? I don''t know where he went today, and he didn''t answer my calls. Find him


    and ask him to take care of me here. I''ve heard about Mango''s health, she''s not very well. Go home


    and get some rest."


    There was a pause after Mango and Nathaniel heard Sophia''s words. Mango pondered a while


    before deciding toe clean, "Aunt, there''s something I need to tell you. Please don''t me


    Walter."


    "What''s wrong with Walter? Did something happen to him?"


    Sophia suddenly became nervous.


    For so many years, Walter was Sophia''s everything. She could abandon Mrs. Song''s title and stay


    away from Carter, but she couldn''t live without Walter.


    Mango saw the nervous state Sophia was in, so she immediately said, "No, nothing happened to


    Walter. To be exact, it''s Novalee that''s in an ident." "Novalee? The woman who imed to be


    Walter''s girlfriend? Didn''t she run away? What happened to her? Did Walter went to find her?"


    The look on Sophia''s face didn''t look very well.


    She didn''t know why, but she didn''t like Novalee very much. Novalee tried to please her, and she


    even treated her well, but she just felt ufortable around Novalee.


    Mango hesitated whether she should be honest or not as she saw how big Sophia''s reaction was.


    But Nathaniel had beat her to it.


    "So here''s the thing. We found Novalee at a dumpsite. She was stuffed inside a stic bag and


    thrown there. If we were half an hourte, she''d probably be mistaken as trash and thrown into the


    garbage disposable where she would bepressed. There was not one piece of her that was in


    good condition; her bones werepletely crushed. Even if the doctor manages to save her, she


    would be spending the rest of her life on a bed as she will be disabled. We sent her to the hospital,


    and Walter is there right now waiting for her. After all, Walter still loves her. We hadn''t told Walter


    the news that you fell. We''re scared that he couldn''t take too much at one time, so..."


    Upon hearing Nathaniel''s words, Sophia''s brows furrowed tightly together.


    "Who would be that cruel? Even if Novalee is vicious, she shouldn''t be treated ruthlessly like that! I


    can''t imagine the pain she must be in having all her bones crushed. How deep of a grudge does it


    take for someone to do such cruel things? Although I don''t like that girl, I can see that she is kind.


    It''s just that she''s too cunning for my liking. To be honest, I think she did it out of good intention


    when she picked me up from the nursing home."


    Sophia''s words stunned Nathaniel and Mango.


    "Auntie, didn''t she kidnap you from the nursing home?"


    Sophia shook her head.


    "There are some things that you don''t know. When Novalee came to find me, a group of people was


    looking for me as well. I don''t know who they were, but they were very aggressive. The guards


    wanted to take me away to somewhere safe, but they''ve blocked the back door. Novalee then came


    in, took me away, and said that Walter had assigned her to do so. At that time, I thought she was


    telling the truth, bute to think of it, there might be some things that we don''t know about hidden


    in there.
