Chapter 1147


    Brantley really couldn''t stand the grievances on Mango''s face, so he couldn''t help but say, "Why


    don''t I give you a suggestion? No matter what Mango wants to do, we''ll send Newell there. Then


    he''ll send us a video of his investigation. The Inte is pretty advanced now, so there''s no need for


    you to go and have a look in person, am I right?"


    "I think that grandpa''s idea is great!"


    Walter concurred with the idea straightaway.


    Needless to say, Deborah definitely backed Walter up.


    It was three against one. Even if Mango had different ideas, she would have lost the argument by a


    landslide.


    "Then am I allowed to inform Newell about this?"


    So, Mango had no choice but to go for the second-best option.


    "Of course, just let him in."


    At this moment, Walter was very agreeable.


    Mango red at him viciously before calling the guard to let Newell in.


    When Newell entered the mansion, both Brantley and Walter were there.


    "Good day, Mr. Xiao, Mr. Song and Mango."


    Newell greeted them one by one as he was pretty well-mannered.


    Brantley nodded in reply and said with a smile, "Have a seat."


    "Alright, thank you."


    Newell took a seat opposite Brantley.


    Walter knew Newell, so he didn''t say anything. Now, it was time for Brantley to speak.


    Meanwhile, Mango looked at Walter. He had firmly refused to let her go out just now, but now he


    was acting like a modest person. Thus, she could not help but detest him right now.


    "Hey, your cousin did this for your own good."


    When Deborah saw where Mango was looking, she whispered in a low voice.


    "Yeah, I got it. Walter is the most opinionated and awesome man alive."


    Mango retorted with sarcasm to vent out her frustration.


    However, Deborah said with a smile, "Of course. Isn''t my dear Walter talented and good-looking?"


    "Blurgh..."


    Mango gave an exaggerated reaction by pretending to vomit. However, Deborah wasn''t angry at all,


    so Mango had only managed to only anger herself further instead.


    The couple was too sweet and affectionate!


    Also, Mango missed Nathaniel already.


    She thought to herself with some frustration.


    Brantley certainly knew what Walter was nning. This was the Xiao family, and Brantley was the


    head here. Hence, he was the one that should tell Newell what they were thinking.


    He cleared his throat as he stated Walter''s and his intentions out loud.


    After hearing what Brantley said, Newell understood the current situation clearly.


    "You''re right, Mr. Xiao. Currently, we''re in a critical situation, so it''s too dangerous for Mango to go


    out. It''s my fault because I was too careless. Your n is excellent. I''m going to keep my camera


    rolling so that Mango can watch the video in realtime. Also, Mango, you can ask me if you have any


    questions."


    Newell was actually quite cooperative.


    On the other hand, Mango felt ashamed of herself.


    After all, she was the daughter-inw of the Ye family and Newell''s sister-inw. Therefore, it was


    pretty embarrassing to be treated like a child.


    "Okay then, go ahead."


    Right now, Mango had no choice but to chase Newell away as soon as possible.


    If he stayed here any longer, no one knew what Walter and Brantley would reveal to Newell.


    Come on, she would at least want to retain some of her dignity!


    On the other hand, Newell wasn''t clueless about social cues. When he heard Mango''s words, he


    naturally understood what she was trying to tell him, so he quickly stood up and excused himself.


    Toby also saw Newell off as well.


    At this moment, Mango turned her head away in dismay as she refused to look at them.


    However, Walter didn''t mind at all. He whispered to Deborah, who was beside him, "Didn''t you say


    you wanted to buy some goods for the new year yesterday? Should we go now?"


    "Okay!"


    Deborah nodded in reply hurriedly with eyes full of affection.


    When Mango saw this, she felt extremely jealous.

    "Hey, didn''t you say that we''d stay in for our safety? What are you doing now?"


    "We are not the targets anyway, so why can''t we go out?"


    Walter''s words were harsh and hit too close to home.


    Mango pointed at him and stuttered for a long time. In the end, she gave up dejectedly and


    slouched in the couch.


    "Okay, okay. Hurry up and leave! Don''t torture me."


    Meanwhile, Deborah eximed as she said, "Haha! Grandpa, how can she say this? Do you


    usually torture her a lot when she''s here?"


    "Deborah Grey!"


    Mango felt that Deborah was too annoying right now!


    When Deborah saw how frustrated, she instantly burst into unrestrainedughter. Then, Walter took


    her into his arms and said softly, "Stop irking her. If she whines andins to Nathanielter, we


    won''t know what Nathaniel will do to us when we get married."


    "Walter Song, you''ve crossed the line this time!"


    Although Mango had said so, she was actually secretly delighted.


    After all, she was d that Walter had finally found his soulmate.


    When Mango saw how blissful he was while he was together with Deborah, she was very happy


    forthem.


    Walter smiled as he said, "Haha! You''re just like a nagging hag now. Aww... you''re jealous of us,


    right?"


    "F*ck off!"


    Mango picked up the apple on the tea table directly and threw it at Walter as she swore at him.


    Walter caught it single-handedly and said with a smile, "I need another apple. Although it''s okay for


    me to share it with my wife, good things shoulde in pairs, don''t you agree?"


    "You''re... you''re such a shameless b*stard!"


    Mango swore and threw another apple over once again.


    Meanwhile, Walter caught it again as he said with a smile, "Thanks for the apples!"


    After saying that, he took a bite and smacked his lips while saying, "It''s so sweet. Taste this, honey.


    As the saying goes, an apple a day keeps the doctor away, so you should eat more apples as they


    are healthy."


    "Alright!"


    Deborah took the apple from him before she took a bite.


    "Yum, it''s so sweet. It tastes like you."


    Walter blushed a shade of red instantly after hearing her words.


    Did his wife just seduce him?


    Meanwhile, Mango watched as the casanova turned into a shy teenage boy in front of his loved


    one. Suddenly, her jealousy was over the roof once more.


    "Urgh! Toby, just throw them out. I can''t bear to watch them anymore!"


    Then, Deborahughed joyfully and left the vi being held in Walter''s arms.


    "Grandpa, why can''t you scold them a bit?"


    Mangoined as she felt as if Brantley didn''t favour her anymore.


    However, Brantley said with a smile, "They''re newlyweds. What are you jealous of? Don''t you and


    that brat, Nathan, do the same thing in front of me normally? I''m already at an old age, but I still


    have to put up with your disy of affection every day. Don''t you feel bad for me at all?"


    Mango was instantly taken aback when she heard what Brantley had said.


    "Grandpa, you''re not cute at all!"


    "Really? I think I''m adorable. Toby, do you think I''ve be less cute recently?"


    Brantley looked at Toby as if he was asking about some serious matter.


    Meanwhile, Toby was panicking as both of them were pressuring him?


    How could he reply in a way that would not offend both Mango and the head of his family?


    "I just remembered that I haven''t arranged for the security schedule outside the mansion yet. So, I''ll


    take my leave first."


    After saying that, he left in a hurry.


    When Brantley saw this, he burst outughing in an instant.


    Mango shook her head, but then she heard Newell sending her a video call request.


    Thus, she epted it straight away.


    She saw from the video call that Newell was already at the small workshop, but it was closed and


    locked properly.


    "Mango, the door wasn''t locked when I was here yesterday. However, for some reason, they locked


    the door today."


    Mango sneered for a moment after hearing his words.


    There was such a big explosion just now, so of course, their enemies would close the shop.


    It seemed that this workshop was indeed suspicious.


    "Ask around and see whether people know the owner of this workshop."


    Mango ordered immediately.


    After that, Newell went straight to the neighbouring house of the workshop.


    "Hello, did anything happen to the workshop beside your house? Why aren''t they open for


    business?"


    The neighbour took a nce at Newell and replied calmly, "They left with their entire familyst


    night."


    "Did they go back to their hometown for the new year celebration?"


    Newell asked instinctively.


    The neighbour replied, "Yes, they went back to celebrate the new year. After all, the new year is


    coming soon, right?"


    "Do you know where their hometown is? When will they be back after the new year? Oh, no! I still


    need to repair my car!"


    Newell gave a perfect excuse so that he could get more information from the neighbour.


    However, the neighbour shook his head while saying, "They''re noting back. I heard that they


    won the lottery, so they don''t have to work anymore. They settled their rent yesterday morning, and


    the whole family left in the middle of


    the night."


    Mango frowned immediately when she heard the neighbour''s reply through the video call.


    "Newell, ask for the name of the owner of this repair shop. Then look into the recent transactions in


    his bank ount."


    "Alright."


    Newell immediately left to carry out Mango''s order.


    He quickly found out that the owner of the workshop was Godson, who was from Buxermnia.


    Thus, Newell started investigating this incident based on the information that he had received. Not


    long ago, Godson received a huge sum of three million dors. Moreover, his son hadpleted


    the application to study abroad two days ago.


    The three million dors were from a foreign international group. He didn''t manage to find out the


    details of thepany, but he was sure that Godson didn''t win a lottery like what the neighbour had


    said.


    At this moment, Newell finally realized that someone had manipted him!


    Perhaps the problem with his car engine was also a setup. Maybe they took advantage of his frugal


    habits so that he woulde to ask about the car repairs. Then, they installed the time bomb in the


    car of the Ye family''s sometime during the repair.


    At the thought of this, Newell felt extremely guilty.


    "Mango, it seems that I was negligent. Please scold me!"


    Suddenly, Mango felt that Newell was cute because of how serious he was right now.


    Mango smiled and replied, "Why would I scold you? It''s not like you''re the one who did this. Just


    look into this man named Godson Wang."


    "Got it."


    After hanging up the video call, Mango was a little frustrated.


    Their investigations had only led to an unknown guy. So, who was this person working for?


    Was he one of Bernard''s men?


    Urgh! Bernard was really a pain in the a*s!


    Although they had never met before, he had always deceived and targeted Mango, so she was


    pretty upset with him.


    She suddenly remembered that she hadn''t received the results of the paternity test of Bernard and


    Laney.


    At the thought of this, she called Lebanon directly.


    Lebanon answered the call after a long time.


    However, his ce was a little noisy.


    "What''s up?"


    Mango asked concernedly.


    Lebanon replied in a low voice, "It''s fine. I just blew up one of Lexis'' information guilds."


    Recently, the battle between him and Lexis had grown increasingly heated. It was gradually


    reaching the point of no return.


    When Mango heard this, she was a little perplexed. After all, how could their father, the king of


    Ango, remain indifferent in the face of such an intense battle between his two sons? He was too


    cold!


    "Are you safe?"


    Mango asked immediately.


    Now, she could more or less understand the reason why Lebanon was callous and indifferent.


    His birth mother had faked her death and left him since he was young, while his own father had not


    cared about him at all. It was lucky that he had grown up to be a pretty decent man under such


    circumstances.


    Furthermore, he was still her cousin, so Mango felt that she should show him some concern.


    Lebanon smiled before he replied, "I''m fine. Don''t worry about me. Did you call to get the paternity


    test report of Bernard and Laney?"


    "Bingo!"


    Mango did not say anything redundant and admitted it directly.


    "Hang on a second. I''ll send you the data. Have a look at it yourself."


    "Okay."


    Mango nodded in reply.


    Lebanon asked all of a sudden, "Is it snowing in Ocean City?"


    "It is. It''s a light snowfall. What''s the matter? Do you want toe over and watch the snow?"


    In fact, Mango really hoped that he coulde back for the new year celebration. However, he


    could only do so if he promised to not create any trouble for Brantley.
