"You, um..."
Mango was astounded to hear this.
Meanwhile, Esther still wore a carefree smile.
"What's the matter? Are you scared?"
"No! That's not it, I'm just a little surprised."
Mango regained her composure before she said hurriedly. However, she was still shocked by
Esther actually wanted members of the Dark Night Empire to investigate Morgan's superior!
To put it bluntly, Esther suspected that there was a problem with Morgan's superior, right?
Mango was terrified when she thought of what this could mean.
If Esther's guess was correct, too many people would be involved in this.
However, Esther did not force Mango to do it either. She only said lightly, "Please help if you can. If you can't do it, ignore my request. I can buy some information from Dark Mantle."
"If you go to Dark Mantle to buy information now, won't you expose your weakness to others? I'll do it."
Mango had already calmed down in just a few seconds.
After all, Morgan and Nathaniel had been working with each other for a long time, so no one could break their bond. Besides, how could she let Esther delve into such dangerous matters?
Besides, Bernard was already targeting Nathaniel and her, so it didn't matter what else they did. Therefore, it would be great if there could remove Esther from the line of danger.
Esther's calm demeanor finally changed when she heard Mango's words.
"No! Mango, this is too dangerous!"
After that, Esther held Mango's hand tightly as she said hesitantly, "But only the Dark Night Empire can do this. Now that the higher- ups are monitoring Morgan, I can't do it either. Although you and Nathan always get into trouble, this is the time for you to find out the truth! This matter is of utmost importance, so you have to keep it strictly confidential. Once you obtain the evidence, Morgan will be fine, and you can solve your problems as well! This kills two birds with one stone!"
"Huh? What do you mean by solving our problems? Do you know what is our problem now?"
Esther smiled mysteriously, but she kept quiet.
Soon, Nathaniel came back. When he that Mango and Esther were enjoying the conversation, he said, "Are you done? Well go back after this."
"Alright!"
Mango stood up and took a look at Esther. She then whispered, "Take good care of yourself."
"Don't worry. I won't let anything happen to my children before Morgan comes back."
When Mango heard this, she was impressed to see how determined Esther was.
After she went outside with Nathaniel, she sighed and exclaimed, "I really underestimated Esther before."
Nathaniel smiled faintly in reply.
"Well, she has been married to Morgan for so many years, so she holds a famous reputation in the military district. Do you really think that she is a weak woman? It's just that Morgan usually takes good care of her, so she doesn't need to do anything. She is a woman who can be both soft and firm."
When Mango heard Nathaniel's words, she understood more about Esther.
After that, the two of them drove away from the military district. Then, Mango said abruptly, "Let's go to Desmond's place. I need to talk to him."
"Just call him then. Why do you have to go over there in person?"
Nathaniel couldn't help but ask when he saw that Mango was already exhausted.
However, Mango replied softly, "It's almost the New Year, so let's go and visit him. Marissa's parents are still there too. Desmond has been working so hard for the Dark Night Empire for the past six months. I don't know if he has prepared any good food for the new year. He is usually a quiet person, so he won't say a word, even if he wants something. After all, the only thing he thinks about is work. As his boss, isn't it normal for me to go and visit him? Besides, Desmond has gone through a lot of suffering alone, so I want to matchmake him with Haniya. What do you think?"
Well, I don't think we should intervene in other people's relationships. You should let their relationship develop naturally over time."
Although Nathaniel said so, he still listened to Mango's suggestion and drove to Desmond's place.
Since Desmond had worked for Mango, he had already requested an advance payment from her. In fact, he paid a down payment for a house so that Marissa's parents could stay there.
The house was a villa. It was not massive, but it had more than two hundred screens. It was a two-storeyed building that had its own door and courtyard. However, because of the peaceful and elegant environment, the price of the house was on the high end. Therefore, after paying the housing loan, Desmond didn't have much of his salary left.
However, the villa was not located not far from The Ye's Mansion, so it didn't take long for Nathaniel to drive there.
During this period, Mango bought some supplements and new year food from the mall and brought them over.
After Mango and Nathaniel alighted the car, Nathaniel was about to knock on the door when he heard a "bang" from inside the house. Then, they heard Victoria screaming.
"Desmond, you b*stard! How dare you dodge from me!"
Creases appeared in Mango's brows slightly when she heard this. In fact, she found the sharp shrill almost repulsing.
"What on earth is going on?"
When Mango heard this, she intended to knock on the door, but Nathaniel stopped her.
He gave Mango a look before he opened the
electronic door of Desmond's house with ease.
Mango froze almost instantly when she saw this.
"Honey, when did you learn to pick a lock? If you lose your job in the future, perhaps we can be locksmiths in the future!"
Nathaniel shot Mango a helpless look before flicking his finger at her forehead. Then he said in a low voice, "Look at you. Even if the Ye family goes bankrupt, we won't need to work as locksmiths!"
"Then why did you learn how to pick locks?"
