"What's the matter?"
Braiden's attitude was bad, but Mango didn't really take it to heart.
"How much do you know about Rainie's matter?"
"I don't know anything."
He looked at Mango coldly. In fact, his answer sounded very unreasonable.
Mango's eyes narrowed slightly after hearing this.
"I will assist you in gaining a foothold in the industry as long as you tell me what you want. You name it, you get it. It doesn't matter whether you want money or fame, I can still satisfy you."
This was the optimal conditions offered by Mango.
Although the entertainment industry was malicious and evil, Mango could help him rise to fame as long as she wanted to.
However, Braiden sneered and said, "Heh! Are you bribing me with money? It's a pity that I don't need it."
"Are you sure?"
Mango pressed her lips together as she looked at him, and she suddenly understood something.
"Do you like Rainie?"
Upon hearing this, Braiden's face suddenly stiffened a little, and he felt uncomfortable.
"She is my benefactor. Isn't it normal for me to like her?"
However, he didn't date to look directly into Mango's eyes perhaps because she was staring at him.
After seeing this, Mango was having mixed feelings.
She knew that Rainie was a nice woman. However, she was still married to Thomas. Some principles couldn't be broken, even if Rainie wasn't the one at fault.
"You'd better dismiss this thought. I can let you stay with her, but I can also get rid of you in any minute, so that you can never see her again."
"Who do you think you are?"
"I'm Rainie's closest relative!"
Mango suddenly narrowed her eyes and glared sharply at him while saying that. Hence, Braiden was too afraid to look at her.
"Rainie can make her own decision, and it's not up to you to control her life. She knows what she's doing."
"But she's still a married woman now! No matter what happened between Thomas and her, she is still legally married to him. I can make your life difficult and let you vanish from the entertainment industry if you ever bring any bad influence on her. Try me if you dare."
Was it because Mango had been busy and overwhelmed by her matters recently? How could people think that Thomas was the only person supporting her?
Rainie also had her own family!
Also, she was the person that Rainie could depend on!
Rainie was an irreplaceable part of her life no matter what happened.
On the other hand, Braiden was obviously taken aback by Mango's powerful aura. He couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
After seeing that she had achieved his goal, Mango restrained her gaze and asked, "What is Rainie's illness? Don't tell me that you don't know about it."
Braiden narrowed his eyes as if he was in deep thoughts when she heard this. However, Mango did not urge him to answer.
After a long while, he finally came to her senses and sat down in front of Mango.
Then, Mango poured him a glass of water, and her voice became much softer.
"If you want her to be well, you shouldn't have helped her conceal this secret. Some diseases need to be treated as soon as possible. If you keep hiding it for her, her condition will get worse. By then, it will be too late for us to help her."
Perhaps Mango's voice had softened, or maybe he truly cared for Rainie, Braiden suddenly whispered, "Can you not tell Rainie about my feelings for her?"
