Chapter 1289


    "Who are we meeting?"


    Mango seemed to have not heard him clearly.


    Then, Nathaniel looked at her teary eyes and hugged her tighter.


    "Well be meeting Barack. Doris said that Bettany will take her to meet him."


    After hearing this, Mangoid on Nathaniel''s chest and listened to his strong heartbeat. She was


    obviously a little shocked.


    "Is Doris here too?"


    "Well, although I don''t know how the two reconciled, Bettany could save Longford County only with


    Doris'' help. I used to think that Longford County meant a lot to Bettany, but I don''t think so


    anymore."


    Then, a trace of doubt shed across Nathaniel''s eyes as he said this.


    Then, Mango sat up from Nathaniel''s embrace. She looked at him in the eyes and asked, "What''s


    wrong? Are you suspicious of Bettany now? Is it because she knew of Barack''s whereabouts but


    didn''t inform us?" "Aren''t you suspicious of her too?"


    Nathaniel couldn''t help but frown upon seeing Mango''s reaction.


    After hearing his question, Mango shook her head and stood up before walking to the window.


    The people outside were still busy because they were afraid that outsiders would know about the


    presence of Morgan and his team. Although Rita and Ang were not around, the atmosphere was


    still tense, even though they had caught Augustus.


    Perhaps it was because of the well- trained bodyguards of the Ye family or maybe of her insecure


    feelings. However, Mango still felt that the atmosphere around them was too tense.


    Just then, Nathaniel walked over and hugged her from behind.


    After all, he liked to hold Mango this way. Her body was so soft, so he felt that he had everything he


    wanted with her in his from. Thus, he felt satisfied, and ot was a kind of satisfaction that could never


    be reced by money or fortune.


    "You seem to have other opinions about Bettany."


    Nathaniel''s voice was soft and slightly hoarse, but he sounded a little tired.


    Mango felt bad for him, so she rubbed his hand gently and said in a low voice, "No matter what


    Bettany''s status is, she''s a woman. The thing that she regrets the most in her entire life is probably


    her son''s death. However, she endured the pain as she didn''t even have the right to pour her


    emotions out like any ordinary woman. She still has a mission and responsibility on her. After all,


    she feels stressed because of the destruction of the vige, so she''s almost worn out. That''s why


    the unfortunate loss of her son will always be a pain that can never be erased. Furthermore, that''s


    why she epted Wisdom and even treated him as her son. Anyway, I believe that she cares for


    Wisdom sincerely."


    "I never doubted her true feelings for Wisdom, but that doesn''t exin her current behaviour, right?"


    Nathaniel was a man, so he obviously could not understand a woman''s thoughts.


    Mango smiled and said, "Yes. If Bettany cared about Wisdom, she would be willing to put the


    matters of Longford County behind her. Also, her burden will be lessened with you around. Under


    such circumstances, she will protect Wisdom like her own child. Therefore, I think that there must


    be someone monitoring Wisdom, and we might not know about this."


    Nathaniel was slightly taken aback when he heard what Mango had said.


    "Why do you think so?" "If there was no one threatening Wisdom''s safety, there would be no reason


    for Bettany to keep the truth about Barack Hans from us. If I''ve guessed correctly, you forced her


    into a desperate situation, so she could only ask my aunt for help. Also, didn''t you notice that she


    used this to make Doris cooperate with her? We know that those people were only faithful to Doris


    and not Bettany. Bettany had been with my aunt, Doris for more than ten years, and Doris would


    entrust her to deal with all her matters. Even if there was an internal confrontation inside the


    organisation, how could Bettany not have anyone helping her all these years? However, those


    people don''t seem like they know Bettany at all. I guess that this may be the hidden force that Doris


    had reserved for herself. Surprisingly, Bettany was able to make my aunt reveal and use her secret


    weapon. I believe that Doris didn''t do that because of their past rtionship. If that''s the case,


    there''s only one possibility, which is Barack Hans. Hence, Doris must have used Barack''s


    whereabouts to make sure that Doris cooperated with her."


    Mango spoke in an orderly manner, and Nathaniel was deeply in shock.


    He had always known that Mango was a thorough person, but her observing skills was way beyond


    his expectations.


    Well, Mango had grown so much!


    This thought made Nathaniel both gratified and sad.


    He had once hoped that Mango would be strong and independent, but not to the point that she


    didn''t need to rely on him anymore. This was because he would feel upset for her. However,


    Mango''s improvement was impressive.


    Well, she had be wiser and calmer. Thus, she would not fall into traps as she had be


    more intelligent because she had faced many hardships.


    Nathaniel had expected this, but he was still surprised.


    Then, Nathaniel ced his chin on her shoulder, as his warm breath scattered across her face, so


    Mango to feel a little embarrassed.


    "Hey! Get up!."


    "No way!"


    After that, Nathaniel actually started whining at her!


    On the other hand, Mango didn''t know how to deal with his childish behaviour.


    "Your reputation will be ruined if others see you acting this way."


    "Heh! Who dares toe in when I''m with my wife?"


    While he was saying this, someone knocked on the door.

    Mango immediately smiled when she heard this.


    "Hah! Mr. Ye, look who just came."


    Nathaniel grinned cheekily when he noticed Mango''s bright smile.


    "Just you wait then."


    After saying that, he let go of Mango and put on a serious expression.


    "Who is it?"


    "It''s me, daddy."


    Wisdom''s soft voice rang out, and Mango was delighted.


    If it were someone else, Nathaniel would have been annoyed. But, he endured it since it was


    Wisdom.


    At this thought, Nathaniel shook his head helplessly after ncing at Mango. Then, he stood up and


    opened the door.


    "Why are you here? Did something happen Maverick?"


    Wisdom looked around, then he went straight into the room after passing by Nathaniel''s armpit


    when he saw Mango.


    "Mommy, how do you feel?"


    "I''m fine, what''s wrong?"


    While saying this, Mango patted Wisdom''s head and ced him on her thigh.


    Wisdom was a little embarrassed. He wanted toe down, but he was fond of his mother''s


    affection.


    Meanwhile, Nathaniel felt upset.


    A lot of people were trying to snatch Nathaniel''s wife from him, but he couldn''t say anything now


    since Wisdom was his son. Thus, he felt helpless, so he could only walk over and pour a ss of


    hot water for Wisdom.


    "Here, have a ss of hot water. After all, it gets pretty cold at night, so make sure you don''t catch a


    cold."


    "Thank you, daddy."


    Wisdom received the cup with a smile and took a sip before saying, "Mommy, daddy, I think there''s


    a spy here."


    "Huh? What are you talking about?"


    Nathaniel frowned slightly when he heard this.


    Suddenly, he recalled Mango''s spections, and his heart skipped a beat.


    Then, Wisdom whispered, "I found out that there was some poison in the porridge that was sent to


    uncle Maverick."


    "What? Poison?"


    Nathaniel and Mango were stunned to hear this.


    Now that Augustus had been captured, his men would certainly panic and try to rescue him.


    Therefore, they thought that the people watching over Wisdom were likely to be Augustus''s men, so


    they didn''t act immediately. However, they didn''t expect Maverick to be their target instead!


    But why did they want to kidnap Maverick?


    If Maverick was their enemy, wouldn''t it be a better idea to leave only after Maverick had woken up?


    However, they decided to drug Maverick and bring him away. Hence, this was suspicious indeed,


    Hence, Maverick''s men weren''t the ones who were nning to take him away! So, who else could it


    be?


    Were they Augustus''s men?


    If they were working for Augustus, why didn''t he ask his men to save him first?


    A series of questions surfaced in Mango and Nathaniel''s minds.


    Meanwhile, the two of them looked at each other and did not speak.


    When Wisdom saw that this way, he was stunned.


    "Daddy, mommy, what I said is true."


    "We believe you, but how what did you do with the poisoned porridge?"


    Nathaniel looked at Wisdom and patted thetter''s head before asking.


    After hearing that question, Wisdom whispered, "I swapped it out. I changed to a medicine that


    would be beneficial for his condition."


    When Nathaniel heard his answer, he agreed with what Wisdom had done as well.


    Then, he looked at Wisdom and asked in a low voice, "Do you feel that someone is watching you


    these days? Or trying to do something to you?"


    "No, what''s wrong?"


    Wisdom shook his head quickly.


    Meanwhile, Mango and Nathaniel''s expressions darkened.


    If Wisdom couldn''t feel that someone was spying on her, then the person who watched him


    probably was someone close to him. Hence, who else was close to him besides them?


    Was it Rita?


    Mango and Nathaniel were the ones who knew best about their own daughter. Thus, they excluded


    her from the list of suspects. However, apart from Rita, who else would be quietly watching over


    Wisdom?


    The two suddenly paused, and then they looked at each other tacitly. Suddenly, Nathaniel looked a


    little anxious.


    "I''ll make a phone call."


    After saying that, he stood up quickly and pulled open the door before going out.


    Wisdom was a little stunned, and he thought that he had said something wrong. He quickly asked,


    "Mommy, did I say something wrong?"


    "No, you did a good job. Wisdom, you stay here for a while. I have something to discuss with your


    teacher."


    Mango quickly put Wisdom down and left the room in a hurry after saying that.


    When Wisdom heard that Mango was going to meet Bettany, he stood up and followed behind her.


    He hadn''t seen his teacher for a long time, and he had many questions that he wanted to ask.


    At the thought of this, Wisdom quickly followed Mango from behind.


    On the other hand, Mango rushed to Bettany''s room. Meanwhile, Doris was still standing at the


    door. It seemed that Doris had alsoe looking for Bettany, and she seemed to have just arrived


    as well. However, before she could even knock on the door, she noticed Mango walking over.


    "Mango? What''s wrong?" "Aunt, I''ll tell youter."


    After saying this, Mango pushed open Bettany''s door hurriedly.
