Chapter 1146

    Chapter 1146


    Mango looked at the video that stopped midway and then zoomed into the scene. Then, the familiar


    face of Newell appeared on the screen clearly.


    It was Newell Powell?!


    Mango was slightly depressed when she saw this.


    Why did he choose to do this?


    Did it do it for Sisi?


    Mango''s brows were knitted together tightly in frustration as these questions popped into her mind.


    She started tapping her fingers on the table subconsciously as she started falling deep into


    thought...


    This didn''t make sense!


    Newell would never betray Nathaniel, less alone attempt to kill Mango!


    Then what exactly was going on?


    Newell grew up with Nathaniel, so he naturally knew Nathaniel''sputer skills. Moreover, Zion


    was here as well. Even if Newell was the one who did this, he wouldn''t make such a stupid mistake


    as he would delete the video!


    If Newell was really the mastermind, he would have turned off the surveince cameras. In fact, he


    could have done it in the blind spot of the cameras, but he didn''t do so!


    This could only mean that Newell had been manipted by someone else as well!


    This person was not familiar with the blind spots of the surveince cameras in the Ye''s Mansion, so


    he made such a rookie mistake.


    Then who could this person be?


    People who were not familiar with theyout of the Ye Mansion were naturally not servants of the Ye


    family. After all, they hadn''t changed servants for a long time.


    Mango was lost in thought as she tried to figure out the mastermind behind this incident.


    If the culprit was not a servant of the Ye family, he was likely an outsider. However, everyone who


    hade to the Ye Mansion in the past few days was a friend of the family. After all, other than


    Deborah, only Walter and his uncles from the Hans family had visited. However, they couldn''t be the


    ones who wanted her and Nathaniel dead.


    Therefore, Mango was puzzled by this conundrum.


    Hence, she decided to call Newell in the end.


    However, after the call went through, she was suddenly at a loss for words.


    "Mango, what''s the matter?"


    Newell initiated the conversation after he had picked up the call.


    He spoke naturally, and he didn''t sound like someone who had done something bad.


    Mango coughed before she asked, "What did you do in the garage yesterday in the afternoon?"


    "There was some problem with the car. I wanted to check if it would get better after the engine


    cooled down, so I went to the garage. What is it?"


    Mango was surprised when she heard Newell''s reply.


    "Wait, did our car break down?"


    "Well, not exactly. I just thought that the sound of the engine sounded a bit off. I thought that this


    happened because of the rising temperature, so I didn''t send it to the workshop. Thus, I wanted to


    check whether the car was alright after the engine had cooled down. Besides, I was thinking to send


    it to the shop if I couldn''t repair it myself. After all, the repairing costs of this car aren''t cheap.


    Besides, the new year is around the corner, so it''s inconvenient because I''ll have to queue for their


    service."


    However, Mango had managed to figure something out from what Newell had said.


    "Huh? The temperature of the engine went too high? Where have you been? Did you head into the


    mountains?"


    Newell paused for a moment after hearing the question. Then he said in a low voice, "I went to meet


    Sisi."


    When Mango heard his reply, she was only a little surprised.


    After all, Newell and Sisi were close to each other. No matter how Sisi treated Newell, thetter had


    always held her dear to his heart.


    If Sisi hadn''t crossed the line this time, Newell would probably do more for her.


    "Did you manage to meet her?"


    "No, they didn''t allow any visitors."


    Newell was rather disheartened when he answered.


    Mango knew that Sisi was still pregnant with Newell''s child. Thus, he would definitely worry about


    her.


    "I''ll ask Nathan to pay the prison guards so that they''ll be more lenient. We will try our best so that


    you two can see each other."


    Mango said calmly in reply.


    When Newell heard her words, he started choking with emotion.


    "Mango, you''re still treating Sisi so well after what she has done to you. I feel ashamed because of


    how kind you are."


    "What''s there to be ashamed of? After all, we''re all family. Even if Sisi made a mistake, she had


    already been punished for it. Thus, other family members don''t need to pay for her crimes, right?"


    Newell was touched by Mango''s words.


    "Mango, thank you so much."


    "You''re wee. By the way, I have something to ask you as well."


    Mango went straight to the point, " Our car exploded today. There was a time bomb in the car. We


    have checked the recordings of the surveince camera, and a part of it was deleted. However,


    Zion restored the video. Thus, we saw from the video that you were the only person that entered the


    garage today."


    Newell was taken aback momentarily after hearing this. Then he realized something and said


    hurriedly, "Mango, it''s not me! I won''t ever do anything that harms myself and others. Nathan and


    you have given me the shares of thepany. Even if I don''t do a thing, I''ll have even hundreds of


    millions of dors annually just from dividends. So, why would I want to st you to your death? If


    you pass away, I can''t even run thepany well. What next? Will I have to starve to death in


    poverty with my child by then?"


    "It''s alright, I trust you."


    Newell sounded urgent, so Mango could naturally tell whether he was being truthful.


    Thus, she calmed down slightly after hearing his reply.


    "Mango, I didn''t bring anyone back with me. I was worried that the engine wasn''t working properly,


    so I went to a small workshop nearby and bought a car code reader. I swear I certainly didn''t take


    anything else into the garage with me!"


    Newell had gone through hardships since he was a child as well. Even after the Ye family had


    adopted him, they had trained him to be a bodyguard. Thus, his monthly ie was limited.


    Therefore, he would not act like Nathaniel, who would send his car directly to the workshop if there


    was something wrong with it. Instead, Newell would first see if he could fix the problem. After all, he


    could save some money if he could solve the problem himself.


    Even if Nathaniel had Newell some shares now, thetter couldn''t change his years of frugal habit in


    such a short period of time. Therefore, Mango was not surprised to see that Newell would try to fix


    his car himself when he saw that it had a


    problem.


    "Huh? Did you go to a small workshop nearby the house? Where is it located?"


    "You''ll see it once you turn left after entering the main road."


    Mango frowned slightly at his words.


    How could she not remember that there was a small workshop there?


    "Do you still remember the ce?"


    "Of course I do!"


    "I''ll send you my location. Come and pick me up, and we''ll go have a look."


    After saying that, she hung up and shared her location with Newell on WhatsApp.


    Meanwhile, Nathaniel and Zion had been upied the entire time. During this period of time,


    Nathaniel sent a text message to Mango. She told him to focus on his work at hand and reassured


    him that everything was fine at home.


    After she changed her clothes and walked out of the room, she happened to run into Walter and


    Deborah.


    "Wait, where are you going?"


    Walter furrowed his eyebrows slightly as he asked his question.


    This explosion was such a major incident, so all of them could not ignore it. After all, it was obvious


    that someone wanted Mango or Nathaniel to be dead. However, Mango still dared to go outside


    during this dangerous period for some reason!


    Was she dumb?


    Although Walter did not say it out loud, his eyes and expression were trying to convey this


    message.


    However, Mango let out a hollowugh annoyingly and said, "I''m heading out to settle some stuff."


    "No! You''re not allowed to go outside no matter what! If you want to do so, you have to wait until


    Nathanes back so that you can discuss this with him.


    Walter was like the head of the family now, so he ordered the servants to close the gate straight


    away.


    "Don''t do that, I''ve asked Newell to pick me up. There''s really an urgent matter that I have to attend


    to."


    While Mango was saying this, she kept winking at Deborah as she hoped that thetter would


    speak up for her. However, Deborah said bluntly, "I won''t help you in this even if you wink a


    thousand times. Walter is right. We don''t know what''s happening outside right now, so you can''t go


    out!"


    "Urgh! Both of you are really husband and wife that work so well together! Deborah, how could you


    follow everything Walter''s says? Aren''t you afraid that he will take advantage of your kindness?"


    Mango let out a low growl in frustration.


    However, Walter said calmly and steadily, "Nathaniel listens to your every whim, and you didn''t take


    advantage of him as well. But now that I see it, you probably will end up doing that soon."


    "Look, Walter, what''s the point of doing this? I really have to go out now!"


    Mango had never thought that Walter would get in the way of her ns someday.


    This was totally uneptable!


    "I don''t care if you have anything urgent to do. I''m telling you that you can''t step outside this room


    right now. If you don''t listen to me, I''ll get Toby to knock you out so that you can rest for a while."


    "Do you have the balls to do this?"


    "Try me!"


    Mango and Walter stared at each other intensely while they argued. They were locked in a staring


    competition, and both of them refused to relent.


    At this moment, Brantley hade out because he heard that they were arguing.


    "What''s the matter? It''s almost the new year! Argh! Can''t both of you stop bickering?"


    "Grandpa, he won''t let me go out!"


    Mango ran over and shook Brantley''s arm lovingly with a wronged expression on her face while


    comining.


    Brantley looked at Mango and whispered in a low voice, "I won''t allow you to go out either."


    "Grandpa, why are you doing this? I''m heading out to secure some evidence! What? Are we


    supposed to wait for the other party toy the trap down for us in secret? The New Year ising


    soon! Don''t you want to celebrate New Year without any worries? Besides, Walter will hold his


    wedding soon, so we can''t afford any mistakes during this period."


    Mango continued vehemently.


    On the other hand, Walter said calmly, "You don''t have to worry about me, so please take care of


    yourself. Anyway, you can''t take a step out of this door today even if you argue with me to no end.


    Why did Nathaniel send you here? It''s because of the high- level security here. Ordinary folks can''t


    infiltrate our ce easily. If you go out and something bad happens to you, how can I answer to


    Nathaniel and Zion?"


    Mango felt that something was strange as she listened to him.


    "Wait, since when were you on good terms with Nathaniel?"


    "We might not see eye to eye during usual times, but when ites to you and the children, we


    share the same opinion. So don''t waste your breath. Even if Grandpa allows you to go out, I won''t


    agree to it."


    Walter was steadfast in his views.


    Mango had never seen Walter so determined before, but she knew his temper. He was someone


    who would never turn back once he had made a decision.


    What should she do now?


    Right now, she could only stare wide-eyed at the clues in front of her, but she couldn''t do any


    investigating and collect any evidence. Thus, she felt frustrated as her curiosity was picking at her!

    "Grandpa, please..."


    She could only ce her hopes on Brantley.


    Meanwhile, Walter nced at Brantley before he said lightly, "Grandpa, if I remember correctly, you


    asked me about how I want my wedding to be held, right?" "Have you decided on it?" "Of course, as


    long as Mango doesn''t leave before the wedding, I''ll have peace of mind. Otherwise, I would prefer


    not holding the wedding."


    When Mango heard his reply, she was immediately anxious and angered at that moment.


    "Walter Song, are you crazy? Even if you don''t hold the wedding, how about Deborah? Can she


    ept that there won''t be a wedding? Would the Grey family agree with this?"


    "I don''t mind. I''ll do whatever Walter says."


    Mango was totally taken aback by Deborah''s words now.


    "Deborah, can''t you at least stand up for yourself?"


    "No, I''m happy as long as my husband is with me. Why do I need to stand up for myself? Besides,


    my husband is right to do this too."


    Mango was going through anguish that she had never experienced before, thanks to this annoying


    couple.


    Just at this moment, there was the sound of a car engineing from outside. Therefore, Mango


    knew that Newell was here.


    However, Brantley and Walter would not let her out of the house. What was she supposed to do?


    Mango was on the verge of tears at this thought.
