Chapter 1089
Nathaniel''s hand subconsciously wrapped around Mango.
There were puckers between Bettany''s eyebrows.
She slowed down the car and looked at the flickering lights in front of her. No one knew what she
was thinking.
When they were about to arrive at the roadblocks, they suddenly heard the sirening not far
away from them.
"They''ve caught the rioters. Hurry up and support them!"
The noiseing from not far away made the police at the roadblock move quickly over there.
Nathaniel and Bettany suddenly felt relieved. Then, Bettany stepped on the elerator and went
through the roadblock.
They were safe after leaving Ango.
Bettany sent them outside the borders immediately, and there were already helicopters waiting for
them.
Nathaniel saw Magnolia from afar.
He frowned but said nothing.
Mango was still asleep.
Magnolia nced at Mango, who was in Nathaniel''s arms, and said kindly with a smile, "It''s cold. I
bought her a coat. Put it on herter. After all, covering a nket doesn''t look elegant."
"Thank you."
Nathaniel''s words consisted of many meanings.
Magnolia understood but she said nothing. She took out an old pocket watch and handed it to
Nathaniel. She said quietly, "It''s almost New Year. Help me to hand this to my father."
"This is..."
"This is my mother''s belongings."
There was a tinge of mncholy in Magnolia''s eyes.
"Before my mother died, she left it with Sophia for remembrance, but she didn''t expect that Sophia
would eventually disappoint her. Hmm... to exin, Sophia went to her father for nning a
scheme. This pocket watch was said to be the betrothal gift that my father gave to my mother. It
was not untilter that I found this pocket watch. I intended to personally give it to my father, but
now it isn''t the right timing. I don''t know if my father can wait until I return, so I ask you to deliver it
and tell him that his eldest daughter is still alive."
Nathaniel frowned slightly.
This could be a major issue. Moreover, Magnolia''s identity and motives were unknown. He did not
know how Brantley would react if he returned the pocket watch to him.
Just as Nathaniel was hesitating, Mango opened his eyes.
"This is left by grandma? Is it a betrothal gift from grandpa?"
Both Magnolia and Nathaniel were shocked when they realized that Mango had woken up at this
moment.
Nathaniel asked subconsciously, "Are you cold?"
"I''m fine."
Mango jumped out of Nathaniel''s embrace and abruptly put on the coat that Magnolia had bought.
"It really fits me well."
Magnolia smiled when she saw Mango wearing it.
"It''s really beautiful."
"Of course, I''m a natural beauty."
Mango said without the slightest bit of modesty. Then, she turned around to look at Magnolia and
asked, "You haven''t answered the question I asked just now." "Yes, it was their betrothal gift."
Magnolia thought that their cooperation could resolve Mango''s suspicion about her. However, she
did not expect Mango would still be intimidating.
Mango was very satisfied with Magnolia''s answer. While adjusting her temperament, she smiled, "I''ll
definitely hand it over to my grandfather, no worries. If you really want to express your filial piety,
then I''ll of course help you to realize your wish. However, if you''ve got any other intentions, don''t
me me for not caring about our familial ties when it happens. Lemme just warn you first so that
we won''t end up in bad terms when the timees."
Her words were so straightforward that she did not even consider about Magnolia''s feelings.
Magnolia paused for a moment before nodding with a smile. As for what she was thinking, Mango
did not know and did not want to know.
After saying that, Mango and Nathaniel boarded the helicopter.
The helicopter was a private aircraft, and it was printed with the national emblem of Ango. This
helicopter symbolized the Imperial Pce.
The helicopter took off after Mango and the others went in.
Nathaniel looked at her and asked in a deep voice,
"Aren''t you worried that she might wanna join us?"
"It''s good to join us, but I can''t understand her. Look at her power she had in Ango. She can be
considered a second to none. What''s more, the president doesn''t know it and she didn''t help
Lebanon to seize power. This is so unconvincing. Isn''t Lebanon her son?"

"How is she not? If she was not Lebanon''s mother, how could Magnolia look so simr to your
mum? And how can she have a high level of DNA simrity with yours?"
Nathaniel retorted Mango.
Mango shrugged indifferently and said, "But she just did nothing and watched her son being bullied,
and she never made a move. Do you think that''s possible?"
"Mango, if she really doesn''t do it, Lebanon won''t live until now."
Nathaniel''s words startled Mango.
"What does that mean?"
"When Magnolia faked her death in front of everyone, Lebanon was still very young. Do you really
think that no one is protecting Lebanon all the way since he left Ango? You know, even if Lexis
was still very young at that time, he had his own mother to n for him. It was much easier to kill a
child than an adult, but they did not seed so they just drove Lebanon out. What does this mean?
It means that someone is protecting Lebanon."
Upon hearing Nathaniel''s exnation, Mango finally understood.
"But since she''s protecting Lebanon all the way, why did he have to endure so much at the outside
world?”
"This is a suffering that a prince has to go through. I even suspected that Magnolia knew something
about Alfred''s death. It''s very possible that she has the ability to rescue Alfred, but she did not save
him, even if he is the only one who means so much to Lebanon."
Mango was a little confused.
"What do you mean?"
"Lebanon is destined to obtain the session of power as the president. I was a little uncertain
before. But after seeing Magnolia, I realized that this is her intention and her expectation. As a
president, how could it be possible for Lebanon to be a homosexual? Therefore, Alfred has to die.
What''s more, Alfred is Lebanon''sst straw. Only when he dies in the hands of Lexis, will Lebanon
completely understand ande back to seize his power, so that he can take the path that
Magnolia has set for him. So whether it was Laney or not, Alfred must die."
Nathaniel''s eyes went broodingly dark.
He really did not want Mango to know about these dirty tricks of the royal conflicts. However, that
person was Magnolia, who was Mango''s aunt and the daughter of the Xiao family. He had no choice
but to let Mango understand all these.
Mango''s brows furrowed. The good impression that she had of Magnolia was instantly destroyed.
"So you said Magnolia is doing everything for the sake of Lebanon?"
"Sorta."
"In order for her son to seed the throne, she would rather ignore her son''s happiness. Is she
even a mother?"
Mango was furious.
Nathaniel held her hand and said, "Mango, there are some things that we don''t know. Okay? So
don''t defend Lebanon and don''t think that Magnolia is cruel. After all, we are not her and we don''t
know what she has experienced. But of course, we aren''t sure of her intentions. As long as she
won''t harm you and set you up, we''ll do whatever we can."
Mango suddenly recalled Magnolia''s background.
She was a girl who had been seized and almost got shot by the terrorists not long after she was
born. Plus, she had also got abducted. Her life was bound to be extraordinary.
No one knew what she had experienced and what she had endured over the years. She must have
been forced to leave the pce.
Mango suddenly felt conflicted. She did not know how to judge Magnolia. Just like Nathaniel had
said, she was not Magnolia. She had no right to judge her actions.
However, from the perspective of a family member, Magnolia was still eptable to her. Mango did
not deny this.
"Well, let''s do it step by step."
Mango''s words made Nathaniel heave a sigh of relief. He was afraid that his wife would not be able
to think rationally.
"Are you still sleepy? Why not continue taking a rest? I''ll wake you up when we arrive at Ocean
City."
Nathaniel''s heart ached when he saw Mango''s dejected expression.
Mango leaned against his shoulder and said softly, "What a pity. I was nning to return to
Creekside Cottage to take a look." "Next time. Anyway, it will always be there."
Nathaniel''s voice was very soft.
Mango felt that she became dizzy and sleepy again.
Her head moved bit by bit and she said in a daze, "I seem to remember something."
"Yeah?"
"During the five years I wasn''t with you, I heard that you''ve built a private park for me? I haven''t
seen it yet."
After saying that, Mango fell asleep. This made Nathaniel a little envious.
The corners of his lips curved up, and he said in a deep voice, "There will be a chance."
However, Mango had fallen asleep.
The ne finally arrived at airport of Ocean City a few hourster.
Mango also woke up with a yawn. Well, the timing was precise indeed.
Nathaniel smiled, "You''re finally up, sleepyhead."
"Hmm... Well, I''m hungry. Let''s go out and look for food!"
Mango''s behavior looked extremely simr to Rita right now.
There was endless of love in Nathaniel''s eyes.
They got off the ne and left the airport through the special passageway. They were going to find
a ce nearby to eat when they heard a familiar female voice.
"Mango and Mr. Ye, where were you guys from?"
Mango was slightly startled. She turned around and saw Deborah.
Deborah was wearing a neat business suit today, which gave off a feeling that she was a strong and
independent woman.
"Deborah? You..."
"I came to pick up a customer. I didn''t expect to see you here. Are you traveling?"
Deborah looked at Mango interestingly.
Mango immediately smiled, "I went out to travel for a few days. Right, how''s my cousin''s leg?"
"It''s no big deal. He''ll be discharged from the hospital in two days time. However, he still needs to
rest for a while. Isn''t he preparing for the wedding? He insisted on leaving the hospital and doing it
himself. I can''t dissuade him, so I''ll leave it to him."
Deborah was very excited when he talked about Walter. It was obvious that he was in love.
Mango said with great satisfaction, "I''m back. I''ll help when the timees."
"Oh, c''mon! That''s a must! I won''t forget about you! By the way, my customer will arrive in half an
hour. Let''s go now. I''ll invite you to eat something."
Deborah''s attitude stunned Nathaniel for a moment, but he didn''t find it very annoying. Moreover,
Deborah had saved Mango, so he naturally had no objections.
When they were walking outside, Deborah suddenly pulled Mango and whispered a few words.
Mango''s expression immediately changed.
