Chapter 1014


    Lebanon was calling her!


    Mango restrained the emotions in her eyes and swiped the answer button.


    "Has Gise boarded the ne?"


    "Not yet. I''ve heard that you caught Laney. Is that right?"


    Lebanon was indeed well-informed.


    After all, he had received this news immediately once Mango had subdued Laney. In fact, Mango


    suspected that Lebanon had even installed a surveince system to watch over her!


    "Why do you want to do with Laney?"


    It would be troublesome for Mango to deal with Laney right now, and she didn''t know what to do


    with her either. However, she was still astonished to hear Lebanon asking for Laney.


    Thus, Lebanon didn''t hide his real intentions from her. Instead, he whispered, "Bernard and my


    brother are both close friends. I''ve heard that Laney was the mastermind behind the murder of


    Alfred, so I want this person. Also, I''m sure that the police will release Nathaniel once she gives her


    statement."


    "Nathan didn''t kill anyone. So, he wouldn''t have been convicted even if Laney didn''t make her


    statement."


    After all, Mango understood how important Alfred was to Lebanon.


    Since Alfred was dead, it was reasonable for Lebanon to kill Laney as she was the mastermind


    behind this whole incident. However, Mango still wished to defend Nathaniel.


    Lebanon paused for a moment and softened his tone when he heard this.


    "I''m begging you, please? If I can''t take revenge for Alfred on my own, I''ll don''t think I can eat or


    sleep well."


    Mango sighed and said, "Ah... what are you going to do to her?"


    "Don''t worry about these things. Anyway, I promise that you won''t see Laney in the future, and she


    won''t stir up troubles anymore."


    In fact, Laney was useless to Mango. Also, when she thought about how Laney and Sisi were


    rted, she felt that it was not a good idea for her to punish Laney herself. Thus, handing over


    Laney to Lebanon would be a smart decision.


    "Alright, let''s do that."


    "Thank you, Mango."


    Lebanon hung up the call soon after he finished his words.


    Once Lebanon hung up the call, the mysterious person standing behind him said, "We''ve already


    handed Gise over to the Ye family. She will be boarding the ne tonight, but it seems that Lexis


    has received the news. Do you think we need to intervene in the matter?"


    "Nah. If Nathaniel can''t settle this minor problem himself, he doesn''t deserve to be one of the four


    most influential people in Ocean City."


    Lebanon had not smiled ever since the death of Alfred.


    After all, he had fallen into a depressed state since then.


    Thus, the mysterious guard said with some concern, "However, Nathaniel is in the police station


    after all, so it''s inconvenient for him to take action himself now."


    "Inconvenient? Heh! You''ve underestimated him! Although Bernard might have put him in a


    troublesome situation, this doesn''t mean that he can''t do anything. We can''t take any action now


    because even the slightest move will expose our real intentions. Though Lexis suspects me now, he


    can''t do anything without evidence. Ask our men to remain silent and not to take any action even


    though Lexis is luring us. Try to preserve our strength as much as possible."


    "Got it!"


    The mysterious shadow answered before retreating.


    Meanwhile, Lebanon leaned against the French window and looked at the sea in front of him with


    his eyes half-closed. Nobody knew what he was thinking.


    On the other hand, Mango hung up the call and told Carmel, "Ask someone to arrange for a


    helicopter tonight and send Laney away."


    "Huh? Where are we sending her to?"


    Carmel knew that Mango had just answered the call in, but she didn''t know the person on the other


    end of the line. What was the person trying to do with Laney?


    However, Mango didn''t reply to her, and she left the Ye''s Mansion instead.


    After all, she felt the old mansion was extremely empty and lonely with Nathaniel.


    When Mango returned to the military courtyard, Brantley was busy with something in his study, so


    Mango didn''t disturb him either.


    She asked Carmel to look for Emberly so that thetter could rebandage her wounds.


    Emberly sighed slightly and said, "s! Are you going to leave your wound be? What did you do?


    How could your stitches reopen two times in a day! Mango, can you please remember that you''re


    actually a patient? If you continue to work this hard, I''ll tie you to the bed!"


    However, Mangoughed Emberly''s threat off casually.


    "I''m going to have a good rest once this incident is over."


    "Hah! I don''t believe you at all."


    Emberly rolled her eyes at Mango when she said this.


    Then, Mangoid prone on the bed and felt a slight pain in her wounds while Emberly was treating


    him.


    She bit her lower lip and asked, "Do you have any news about Nathan? How is his neuralgia?"


    "I think his symptoms were probably alleviated. Don''t worry. A grown man like him can hold his


    pain."


    However, Mango immediately became upset when she heard what Emberly said.


    "Do you talk to Eugene in this attitude too?"


    "What do you think? Why would I dote on someone like him?"


    Emberly said these words straightforwardly.


    Although Emberly had said these words in contempt, Mango could tell that she was really in love


    with Eugene.


    Ah, she admired how lovers like them could stay together with each other.


    On the other hand, she was lonely, and she had no one to warm her bed at night.


    At this thought, Mango felt even more depressed.


    "When will Nathan be back?"


    "He will be back once the case is settled. However, I''ve heard that Lebanon is not going to continue


    investigating the cause of Alfred''s death anymore."


    Mango was slightly stunned when she heard what Emberly had said.


    "What? Is he going to give up like that? Alfred is just his manager. How can he make this decision


    on his own?"

    "I''m afraid that you still don''t know Lebanon''s true identity yet."


    Mango paused for a moment when she heard what Emberly said.


    "Isn''t he merely a film star? What other identity does he have?" "He is the second prince of Ango,


    Lebanon


    Fang. Wait, don''t tell me that you don''t know his true identity."


    Mango was stunned for a moment. She felt that someone had brought this up to her, but she


    couldn''t remember when she had heard this. After all, her mind was in a mess because of the


    various incidents that had happened these few days.


    Thus, she was suddenly enlightened upon hearing Emberly''s words.


    "Are you trying to tell me that Lebanon used his diplomatic rtions for this?"


    "Yeah, that''s right. Alfred is an orphan, and Lebanon is the only person that he has been in contact


    with. Since Lebanon said that he didn''t want to pursue the matter, Nathaniel will definitely be fine.


    However, our Minister of Foreign Affairs still wishes to rify the case. So, one of the higher-ups


    has taken over this case.


    However, Mango was even more upset after hearing this news.


    "Urgh! Who on earth is this obnoxious person? Since Lebanon wants to let it go, why do they still


    want to investigate further?"


    "Well, I guess they have no choice as this issue involved international diplomatic affairs, so they


    muste to a conclusion somehow. Thus, you would have to hand Laney over although you


    finally caught her after so much hard work."


    Mango was stunned once again when she heard this.


    "Wait, you know that I''ve caught Laney too? Oh, god! Did the whole of Ocean City hear about this


    already?"


    Emberly smiled and said, "Not really, but don''t you forget that Eugene is my husband, and he pays


    special attention to this ce. If you didn''t mobilize Henry, he would probably take action too. Don''t


    worry too much because he was the one who told me about this. However, you know that you can''t


    hide this secret forever. Eugene asked me to inform you that you better keep this news a secret if


    you want to secretly interrogate Laney. Otherwise, if they send someone over to investigate this


    case, you would have to hand her over."


    Mango''s brows furrowed tightly at this thought.


    Eugene would not ask Emberly to pass this message to her without reason. In fact, Emberly told her


    that Nathaniel was supposed to be leased, but he had to be detained again as the higher- ups


    wanted to investigate this case thoroughly. This meant that this case was sensitive indeed.


    Besides, Emberly had mentioned that the higher-ups would probably want Laney too.


    This was all too much of a coincidence!


    Wait, were some of the higher- ups working for Bernard?


    After all, when Mango had caught Laney, thetter had told Mango that it was useless to capture


    her. After all, Bernard would never abandon her like this.


    Mango wondered if she had made the right assumption. However, she felt that handing Laney over


    Lebanon was the best option, even though she had done that as a precaution.


    "What are you thinking about? Urgh! You''re a woman, so don''t you feel tired after dealing with


    conspiracies all day long? Eugene says that you can hand her over to him if you don''t know what to


    do. After all, he is the master of the Dark Night Empire, so he can kill a person easily for you."


    Emberly made this all sound simple, but Mango did not want to cause any trouble to Eugene.


    Everyone knew about the rtionship between Eugene and Nathaniel. If she handed Laney over to


    him, she knew that someone would gossip about the truth about this incident.


    "Thanks, but I''ll have to refuse your offer. I have my own ns."


    "Alright, you can think about it then. I''ll leave first. s! I don''t want to be involved in your


    troublesome matters! In fact, I wouldn''t have passed on this message to you if I wasn''t worried that


    you would lose your husband!"


    Once Emberly finished these words, she packed up her things and left.


    Mango felt extremely exhausted after this whole ordeal.


    She really wanted to hang out with Nathaniel right now.


    However, when could Nathaniele back?


    This incident was getting moreplicated each day.


    At this thought, Mangoid on the bed and took a nap. It was already over four o''clock in the


    afternoon when she opened her eyes.


    She got up and washed up herself before she went downstairs. Then, she saw Brantley sitting on


    the sofa while reading the newspaper.


    "Grandpa, technology is so advanced now, so everyone reads the news using their mobile phone!


    So, why are you still getting your news from the newspaper?"


    Mango had already walked down as she spoke.


    Brantley snorted and folded the newspaper in


    reply.


    "I like to read the news in paper form only. Why? Do you have any problems with that?"


    "Of course not! How could I dare to think otherwise? You''re my grandfather, after all. You can say


    whatever you want."


    Mango knew her current situation, so she quickly tried to please Brantley.


    "Argh! Sometimes I wonder who you take after. Both your mother and father were selfish people


    who only cared about themselves? Why did you turn out to be such a sweet-talker?"


    Although Brantley said these words in disdain, he still looked at Mango with a doting gaze.


    Mango hugged his arm coquettishly and said, "Grandpa, you''re the only one that I treat this way.


    After all, I''m cold to everyone else!"


    "Heh! Did you think that I would believe your words so easily?!"


    However, Brantley didn''t argue with her anymore. He looked at Mango and asked in a low voice,


    "Did you rest well?"


    "Yep, it''s alright. If I''m free, I''ll sleep more after I finish eating."


    Mango was telling the truth.


    After her miscarriage, she always felt that her body was weak. In fact, she became extremely


    exhausted after walking merely a few steps. Therefore, she was tired as she had even dealt with


    the people in the Ye family this morning.


    At this thought, she yawned and grabbed an apple before peeling it."


    "Grandpa, the new year ising up, so why do your apples still look so fresh? Did you buy them


    from the supermarket?"


    "Nah, someone else gave them to me."


    Suddenly, Brantley looked at Mango and hesitated to continue talking.


    "What''s wrong? Grandpa, are you trying to tell me something? Why do you have such a panicked


    expression on your face?"


    Mango smiled mischievously as she said this.


    However, Brantley sighed and said, "You''d better nourish your body well. Don''t go out if you have


    nothing to do. Besides, you can ask the Hans family to help you settle your problem. You''re a girl,


    so it''s necessary for you to do things on your own. By the way, when does Nathaniel n toe


    back?"


    Mango''s expression changed when he heard Brantley''s question.


    "Heh. How would I know about that?"


    "Come on, Dr. Xiao, who came over just now is Eugene''s wife, isn''t she? Who doesn''t know the


    rtionship between Eugene and Nathaniel? She must havee over here to tell you something,


    right? Besides, you have already caught Laney, so what are you nning to do with her? Do you


    want to hand her over to the police? Or do you want to conduct a personal interrogation on her?


    Mango, I''m warning you, it''s illegal to interrogate a criminal on your own! So, our family doesn''t do


    anything that goes against thew!"


    When Mango heard Brantley''s words, she immediately felt gloomy.
