Nathaniel' s appearance somewhat delighted Mango.
She hadn't expected Nathaniel to come so quickly, but Nanny Zhang's expression was a little foul.
"Zack Yan!"
She shouted.
Zack was reluctant, but he still blocked Nathaniel's path.
"Nathaniel, I can’t let you pass."
Nathaniel's eyes were a little sad when he looked at his comrade in front of him.
"In the end, you still choose to go against me. You should know that I would have helped you no matter what difficulties you face, as long as you tell me about it. Why do you have to do this? Do you really believe her over me?"
Zack felt at a loss at Nathaniel's question, but he said softly, "I'll handle my own problems."
"Does this problem only involve you? What did you say to me when your wife divorced you? Now you're telling me that this is your problem? If this is your own issue, then why are you interfering with my family’s affairs? Zack Yan, what do you really think of me?"
Nathaniel was very disappointed.
Zack had been a very close friend of his for many years, but now they were enemies.
As Nanny Zhang saw the conversation between them, she sensed that Zack was shaken, so she hurriedly said, "Zack, think of your son. You promised him that you'll bring him overseas."
"Shut up!"
Then, Nathaniel bellowed at Nanny Zhang.
His loud voice startled Nanny Zhang.
She had never ever seen Nathaniel treat her like this over the years.
"I’m your mother!"
"Do you even deserve to call yourself my mother?"
Nathaniel was furious at her.
"If I had a choice, I would have rather never been born instead of having such an insane and heartless mother like you."
Nathaniel' s sharp words hurt Nanny Zhang’ s feelings very much.
"You, you..."
She was so angry that her entire body trembled, but then she turned to Zack and said, "If you don't stop Nathaniel now, don’t even dream of seeing your family ever again!"
There was a conflicted glint in Zack's eyes as he blocked Nathaniel’s path.
"Fight me, Nathaniel. You know that I have no choice."
Nathaniel looked at Zack in disappointment as he wanted to say something, but in the end, he remained silent.
Mango saw both of them like this and she wanted to step forward, but Sisi stopped her.
"Miss Shen, come with us. Don't forget that Rita's life is still in our hands."
In fact, Sisi was rather angry with Mango.
If it weren't for Mango, she would have been a part of the Hans family and Newell wouldn't be dead. Now, Sisi had lost an eye and she lived her life being constantly hunted down by other people. If it wasn't for Nanny Zhang taking her in, she wouldn't know where she could go.
Even when Newell was a flawed man, he was the person that Sisi loved most. However, he met his end just because Mango had offended Nathaniel.
When Sisi saw Mango, she displayed her hatred for Mango very clearly. The pure loathing in her eyes puzzled Mango greatly.
"I haven't done anything to you, haven't I? Rather, it was you who kidnapped my son but now you' re looking at me as if I've wronged you somehow. Sisi, what’s on your mind?"
Mango's words irritated Sisi further.
"Don't you know? I was blinded because of your son!"
"You brought that on yourself. If you hadn' t kidnapped my son in order to kill him, how would he have attacked you in self-defense? All your sins will catch up with you one day, so you'd better repent while you still can."
Mango was not afraid of Sisi at all.
As long as Nathaniel was here, Mango did not feel afraid even if she had to face the old witch Nanny Zhang.
Sisi was so pissed off that she slapped Mango across the face and said harshly, "Shut up! You'd better not piss me off while I can still control myself, if not I'll make sure you know it feels to lose an eye!"
However, Nanny Zhang just looked on coldly as she said in an indifferent tone, "You can torture her however you want after she gives me the ring. Don't forget, Terrance killed Newell, and Mango is part of the Hans family. Sisi, you should know that revenge is a dish best served cold. If Mango hadn't existed, you would've been the lady of the Hans family, wouldn't you?"
Sisi’s anger peaked when Nanny Zhang provoked her further.
Mango was not afraid of death, but now that Nathaniel and Zack were fighting, it was very easy for Nanny Zhang and Sisi to kill her.
What should Mango do?
Was she just going to patiently accept it as they humiliated her?
Mango's eyes darkened before she whispered, "Don't you want the ring? I can take you to get it, but you can’t hurt me. The only thing I care about now is my face."
As Mango said this, she caressed her own face as if it was the most precious thing in the world.
Nanny Zhang sneered and said, "What's there to care about a fake face?"
"Even so, it is my face. I lost my true face five years ago and this is the only face I have left. Surely I must make sure that my children can still recognize me."
Mango's tone seemed like she was very afraid and she seemed to agree to Nanny Zhang's demands.
Furthermore, Nanny Zhang had looked into Mango's background and she found that Mango was just a frail woman. Compared to Sisi, Mango was nothing.
