Mango didn't expect that Josiah would realize his mistakes after Marissa's death. He had really changed his thinking and turned over a new leaf.
Or was he simply putting on an act in front of them?
Mango's brows furrowed slightly at this thought.
On the other hand, Nathaniel said calmly, "How you solve this among yourselves is your business, but Victoria's words unsettled me very much. Besides, it also has a negative influence on my wife. In that case, Desmond should be fired from his current job so that we can stop these rumours from going around."
Mango was bewildered at once when she heard this.
"Nathan..."
Nathaniel took a glance at her. Although he didn't say a word, Mango still felt intimidated when he saw his vicious gaze.
After all, he was serious about this!
Oh dear!
Mango let out a sigh secretly.
Alas! Victoria had hurt a lot of people indeed!
She had used her excuse that she had not recovered from the sorrow of losing her daughter. However, to put it bluntly, she was just a vicious woman. Otherwise, why would she treat Desmond in that manner?
After all, to her, Desmond was not even a human with basic rights!
Mango knew that if she begged for mercy for Desmond now, Nathaniel would definitely get jealous.
Therefore, she heaved a sigh and said nothing else.
Desmond was stunned after hearing this.
"Mr. Ye, Madam needs me to protect her now! It's not wise for you to sack me."
"Heh. Of course, I can protect my wife. Don't think too highly of yourself. Since you can't protect Mango properly, you don't need to continue working in this post anymore."
Nathaniel said these words in a cold voice.
Desmond panicked all of a sudden when he heard this.
"No! Mr. Ye, I have always served Madam wholeheartedly. I really don't have any ulterior motives!" "Is that so? I believe that you have no ulterior motives, but you're allowing this woman to whip and torture you because of Marrisa's death. Is your physical condition still at its peak after this? If something untoward really happens, how can I entrust the safety of Mango to you in the current state of your body? Desmond, you aren't just responsible for yourself now, but you're also the leader of the Dark Night Empire. Therefore, you are responsible for the safety of my wife and children. Unfortunately, you don't seem to understand how this is related. You can deal with your private affairs, but you shouldn't get injured all over because you can't work in this state! Also, you have to know that your work is highly dangerous. The person you're protecting is someone precious to me. In fact, I'm willing to give up everything I have so that she won't be hurt! I'm sorry, but I don't trust you because of the current mental and physical state that you're in. So, I refuse to place the safety of my wife and children in your hands."
It was rare for Nathaniel to say so much to Desmond.
Originally, Desmond was dissatisfied, but now he was at a loss for words.
After all, he had been too negligent all this while!
He was the captain of the Dark Night Empire. Therefore, he bore the responsibility of protecting Mango and the children. However, he was currently in such a bad physical state!
Even if Desmond didn't go to the hospital, he knew his own physical condition clearly.
Furthermore, the major and minor injuries that he suffered were not the most serious problem right now. In fact, he had to think about his gastric problems that had gotten worse recently.
If he suddenly suffered from gastritis while carrying out his duties, he couldn't imagine what would happen!
When Nathaniel saw that Desmond was silent, he knew that his words had sunk it.
"Think about it carefully. If you still want to work and stay by Mango's and my side, settle your personal affairs first. Then, you need to train your body and ensure that you're always in top condition. Otherwise, please find another job. I'm grateful that you've saved Mango once, but it's not enough for me to entrust her life to you. You should know that she is in a precarious condition right now, so you can't be negligent at all."
After that, Nathaniel took a glance at Josiah and said coldly, "I don't care if you know what your wife has done to Desmond, but since she has offended me, she has to pay the price." "Mr. Ye, just tell me. What do you want?"
Ah, Josiah was actually a smart man.
After all, he noticed that Mango owed Desmond a favour, yet Nathaniel was still so heartless to him. On the other hand, he and Victoria were nothing to Nathaniel at all. They had even slandered Mango, so it made sense that they had to pay the price for their actions.
"I will reclaim this house, and I want you to move out from here before 12 o'clock. I don't care where you're going to stay. However, I need to warn you that you are no longer under the protection of the Ye family."
"Fine, we'll move. It's no big deal anyway."
Until now, Victoria still couldn't understand how serious the situation was. When she saw that Nathaniel was so heartless, she could not help but let out a cold snort.
"You should stay and watch them leave."
After saying that, Nathaniel grabbed Mango by the shoulder and turned around to leave.
Meanwhile, Mango was still holding the food for the new year, so she was somewhat embarrassed at this moment.
"Here are some snacks that I bought for you all. You all can eat them during the new year."
After all, Mango knew that Nathaniel was planning to blacklist Josiah and Desmond.
From now on, they would no longer be able to find a job in Ocean City, nor would they be able to rent a house here. Victoria and Josiah had lived a sheltered life all along, so this was the harshest punishment that they would deserve.
On the contrary, Desmond would probably get used to this environment much faster because he had been bullied since he was young.
Besides, Desmond also understood Nathaniel's intentions as well.
He was about to thank the latter when he heard Victoria say, "Who cares about your gifts? They are just Greek gifts with ill intentions. Bah! Take all of them with you! We don't need those."
Nathaniel's face turned gloomier when he heard her words.
"Just shut up."
In fact, Josiah would love to shut Victoria's mouth for her if he could do so.
Meanwhile, Desmond was thinking about the same thing as well. Since Nathaniel had said this, he naturally had other plans for them. It seemed that they would have it easy after this. However, this stupid woman still could not tell what was going on. Josiah was so angry that he was about to blow up. This was the first time he had regretted allowing his wife to act according to her
whims outside.
He always thought that it was okay for women to be capricious. Now he realized that no one would care about the Fang family after their demise, but Victoria still thought she was a proud socialite.
On the other hand, Nathaniel gave a cruel smile. Then, he took the goods from Mango and threw them directly at the bodyguard.
"Throw these in the trash can."
"Noted, Mr. Ye."
