Andrea immediately curled up and her face turned pale with fright.
"What's going on? Is someone out to get me, or are they targeting the Hans Family? Hurry up and call grandma, tell her that something's happened!"
Andrea frantically barked out orders at the driver as she grabbed his hand.
However, the car behind them had already overtaken them and forced them to the curb before she could finish her sentence.
On the other hand, the driver was familiar with such situations since he was in the Hans Family's employ. Hence, he frowned slightly and said while he opened the door, "Hey, have you gotten the wrong person? I'm with the Hans Family."
Obviously, the people who were hired by Nathaniel would know the driver of Hans Family. However, one of them coldly replied, "Sorry, we have nothing against the Hans Family. But the woman in the car has offended our employer, so we've been hired to dispose of her. I hope that you won't interfere."
Andrea was so frightened that she opened the door to run when she heard that, but someone immediately grabbed hold of her long hair.
"Ah! Let go of me! Help me! How dare you be so lawless in broad daylight? I'll have you know that I'm the adopted daughter of the Hans Family, so they'll never forgive you if you hurt me!"
Andrea shouted.
Meanwhile, Nathaniel and Thomas had a disdainful look in their eyes as they heard Andrea's screams from their car nearby.
"Wow, she's blatantly using the Hans Family name to threaten people even though she hasn't even been legally inducted yet. How despicable."
Although Nathaniel didn't speak, his gaze was eerily cold.
"I planned to throw her into the sea at first, but I think we should find somewhere remote and leave her there instead. Let her starve for a few days before we decide what to do with her."
After that, Thomas relayed Nathaniel's order to their men quickly.
Meanwhile, Andrea wanted to take the opportunity to escape when the phone rang,
but how could she square up to them?
The driver had tried to fight them off, but he was quickly knocked out.
Then, Andrea was immediately shoved into the sedan and driven away.
After all that was settled, Nathaniel stretched out his arms lazily and said, "Let's go home. I think Mango should be waking up soon."
However, Thomas gave him a gloomy look.
Nathaniel glanced at him in response and asked, "Is Charlotte feeling better now?"
"No, she isn't."
Thus, Thomas felt that he was quite useless.
"What did the Song family say?"
Truth be told, Nathaniel hadn't wanted to get involved with the Song Family's affairs in the first place, but he was rather concerned since Thomas had failed to settle it until now.
Charlotte was Mango's best friend, so Mango would certainly feel upset if the issue wasn't dealt with swiftly.
Then, Thomas replied, "Walter insists that he was drugged and that it wasn't his fault. Now that my identity has been revealed, he's been going against me every step of the way."
"Is he going to try to fight with you to the end?"
"Perhaps so. By the way, Mr. Ye, I found something."
Next, Thomas frowned as he muttered, "In fact, Charlotte actually received a call from someone else before she went to see Walter. I asked around and discovered that Walter wasn't the one who called her, but it was one of his friends instead. They used Mango as an excuse to lure Charlotte out."
"What do you mean?"
Nathaniel's eyes narrowed when he heard that all of this might have something to do with Mango.
Was this not a simple case of Walter chasing skirts?
Then, Thomas shook his head and replied, "I've already asked Charlotte about this, but she refused to tell me. However, I heard that the other party apparently has nude photos of Mrs. Ye, and they threatened to spread it if Charlotte didn't go. Ultimately, that's why she went to see Walter."
"What did you say?"
A dangerous glint appeared in Nathaniel's eyes.
"Mango's nude photos? They were sent to Charlotte?" "Yes, I saw two of them on Charlotte's phone.
They were blurred, but..."
Thomas was embarrassed to say anything more.
He couldn't tell Nathaniel that he'd seen them, right?
Nathaniel's body radiated with murderous intent.
"Did you ask Charlotte if this was true? Are the photos real?"
In the face of Nathaniel's anger, Thomas could only mutter, "I was too embarrassed to ask her, after all, it concerns Mrs. Ye's reputation."
"Let's go home! I need to ask Charlotte about this."
Hence, Nathaniel needed to find out about the truth right away.
Thomas immediately drove Nathaniel back to the villa.
Meanwhile, Charlotte had just managed to step out for a breather after Thomas had left the house. However, she was so frightened by his return that she quickly rushed back into the villa.
Unfortunately, Nathaniel grabbed her wrist and said, "Get in the car, I have something to ask you!"
"Noway!"
Charlotte had never stepped foot outside the house ever since that incident, because she felt like everyone's eyes were on her and it made her feel suffocated.
She knew that it was all in her head, but she just couldn't overcome it for now.
Unfortunately, Nathaniel didn't have much compassion for her because she wasn't Mango. Hence, he dragged her directly into the car.
"Let go of me, Nathaniel! I'm not leaving!"
