"Huh? Why can't I do that?"
Nathaniel questioned, but he felt comforted when he saw Mango's worried gaze.
"You are still under investigation right now. If you go to the international prison, this will make things more complicated. If this is Bernard's plan all along, won't you be walking into a trap? He wants other people to blackmail you right now! Although I don't care whether you retire or not, I don't want to see you retire embarrassingly after being set up by Bernard! Besides, if you leave, I will be worried about your safety. Why did Sisella choose this timing to commit suicide? She obviously is still in contact with Bernard!"
After that, Mango said a lot of things in one breath, so she was a little thirsty.
Therefore, Nathaniel quickly handed her a glass of warm water.
Then, Mango took a sip before she continued, "Urgh! Bernard is so vicious! I can't believe that he infiltrated the International Prison with his men."
"Nah, he isn't as great as you think he is. The international prison only wants money. As long as he can afford the payment, he can do anything he likes. Well, I think that he could want Sisella to die there too. If that happens, he doesn't need to be legally responsible for the murder."
Nathaniel said this lightly. It seemed that he was not surprised by this outcome.
Something, Mango recalled something, so she told him what Addison had found out about Nathaniel.
Nathaniel was momentarily stunned after hearing this.
"Wait, is Bernard the son of Angolla's emperor?"
"Yes, I learnt about this just now. In fact, my undercover agent risked his life to tell me about this!"
Then, Mango said worriedly, "Nathan, I plan to let my undercover agent, Henry, come back after the new year."
"Sure. But about going to the international prison this time..."
"We'll send Newell. If he is loyal to you, he will stay loyal. If he is a traitor, we will know his true colours. This can be considered a test for him. If Newell betrays you for Sisella, why don't you just let them be? Then, Newell won't be in a dilemma. Sisella no longer poses a threat to us, but are you willing to remove her from your life?"
A trace of sadness flash across Nathaniel's eyes when he heard Mango's words.
He wrapped Mango in his arms and said in a low voice, "As long as all of you are by my side safely, the other people aren't that important."
"Hey, it's alright."
Mango patted Nathaniel lovingly as she comforted him.
After all, both of them had mixed feelings about this.
After that, Nathaniel ate some food as Mango insisted on it. Then, he decided to go to Morgan's place.
Mango was right. Since Bernard was targeting them on purpose, it was not feasible for them to keep avoiding him.
"Oh right, I have a feeling that Bernard is coveting some items in the Ye family. Otherwise, why would he target us repeatedly? Furthermore, it seems that he is determined to defeat the Ye family."
Nathaniel did not care much about Mango's words.
However, he whispered softly, "It doesn't matter. We'll see how it goes. I was going to enjoy the new year, but these people really won't stop creating trouble for us."
"That's right, and we should bring Rita along too. Bjorn is nice to Rita. However, Morgan is in trouble now. I don't know how Bjorn is doing, but Rita might be of help if she goes over."
"That's a great idea!"
After hearing Mango's words, Nathaniel brought Rita and Mango with him and left the house.
Although Brantley was still worried, he couldn't say anything since Nathaniel was with them.
On the way, Mango was complaining about Walter being lovey-dovey with his wife in front of her. A gleam passed in Nathaniel's eyes as he said calmly, "It's okay. We've already bullied him countless times, so it's fine if he wants to repay the favour once."
"Huh?"
Mango was quite surprised to hear this.
This wasn't right!
Since when did Nathaniel become so kind and agreeable?
However, maybe Nathaniel decided to let it slide as he remembered that Walter was Mango's cousin?
At this thought, Mango decided to put this matter aside.
Meanwhile, Rita was silent along the way, and she only listened to their conversation quietly. She was so well- behaved that Mango thought that Rita's personality had completely changed.
When the family of three arrived the Morgan's house, there were a lot of guards standing at the door. Although they didn't say a thing, Mango felt intimidated because this place reminded them of a prison. However, the prison was Morgan's home itself.
This was the military compound, so it was impossible for anyone inside to get out.
When Mango thought of how the wife of an excellent man like Morgan had been treated like this, she couldn't help but feel wistful.
Then, she stole a glance at Nathaniel.
She was already this upset even though she was a stranger. Therefore, what about Nathaniel, who had gone through life and death with Morgan, think?
"I'm fine."
Obviously, Nathaniel knew what was on Mango's mind. So, he held her hand gently.
When Rita heard this, her eyebrows furrowed slightly, but she stayed silent. Thus, no one knew what she was thinking.
After that, Mango and Nathaniel went forward, but no one tried to stop them. Therefore, Mango was stunned to see this.
"They are soldiers trained by Morgan, so they won't cause any trouble for us."
Nathaniel answered immediately to resolve her doubts.
Mango nodded in response.
They bumped into Esther when they entered the house. Apparently, the people in the house had received wind that they were visiting.
Meanwhile, Mango expected that Esther would or appear haggard, but she was wrong. Instead, Esther seemed strong and determined.
"Ah, all of you are here! Have a seat. What drinks do you prefer?"
Esther greeted them enthusiastically as she asked, and she looked the same as before.
