"What's wrong?"
Upon noticing Carlo's arrival, Mango quickly put her phone away and asked, "How's Ned doing?"
"He's doing quite alright, but he's been down lately. I heard that the person who hurt him is his lover."
"Urgh! Why are you so gossipy?"
Mango rolled her eyes at Carlo before walking out of the room.
Ned's face was pale, and he had fallen asleep.
Mango wondered how Ned would react after knowing Carmel's real identity. Despite so, she hoped that things would not turned out as bad as she thought.
On the other hand, Lebanon's wedding was carried out fairly smoothly. He heard about the gunshot incident that happened that night. After investigating it, he discovered that it had something to do with Mango. At this moment, he did not care about his bride anymore and drove straight to Mango's place.
"What happened? I heard that somebody tried to shoot you?"
When Mango saw that Lebanon had come over in a hurry, she was touched.
"It's not as complicated as you think. It's all right now. Go back now. You're the bridegroom today, so why are you here?"
Upon seeing her smile, Lebanon's heart sank.
"How could you get into trouble even though you're in my territory? This means that I'm too incompetent! I'll definitely catch the culprit for your sake."
"It's find. I just want to find out something. Believe me, I can do it myself."
If they assassinated Desmond and kidnapped her youngest son because of her and Nathaniel, then she did not want to get Lebanon involved in this. After all, this would affect the relationship of the two countries.
Lebanon's brows were tightly knitted together, and he really wanted to say that he didn't care. However, he finally compromised after seeing Mango's determined gaze,
"Tell me if you need help."
"All right."
Under Mango's advice, Lebanon returned to the palace.
At the same time, Dennis was told that the higher-ups had approved of his retirement. For a moment, he was filled with emotions.
Queena held his hand and said, "What's wrong? Do you not want to retire?"
"No, I just don't know what I can do after retiring."
Dennis took Queena into his arms while saying this.
They had been separated for too long, and they only wanted to spend the rest of their lives peacefully. However, now that they had nothing to do, they were not used to it.
However, Queena said happily, "When will the superiors come to take over you work?"
"I don't know, but it will take at least three days. After all, it would take some time according to the procedures."
Dennis calculated quickly. Three days later, he probably could go back with Queena and Terrance.
After this, Queena was extremely excited. Then, she asked in a low voice, "Do you think that something has happened to Mango recently?"
"Huh? Didn't she go abroad?"
In fact, everyone knew that Mango had left, so Dennis was stunned upon hearing Queena's words.
Queena shook her head and said, "I have a feeling that she is still in Angolla. Now that Mango had left after Nathan and Walter's departure, is that something happening that we don't know about? Why don't you check it up with your friends?"
"It's not easy to do it. Besides, I'm about to retire."
Dennis knew the fickleness of human nature. Once he left his position, many people would gradually distance themselves away from him.
After hearing this, Queena said in a low voice, "You're not retired yet. Anyways, just try your best in finding out some information. Besides, just take it as a casual chat. No one will say anything."
Once Dennis saw his wife acting this way, he thought for a moment and said softly, "How about I give it a try?"
"Sure."
It didn't take long for Dennis to learn about Lucas' disappearance. He was obviously worried.
Who could go against his grandson?
Could it be Brenson Mo?
At this thought, Dennis secretly gave Brenson a call on the phone.
