Walter was astonished.
"What the f*ck? Who is this? Who's responsible for this? I seriously have no idea why these photos are on my phone."
Tears threatened to fall from Walter's eyes.
Nathaniel started to track down the other party's IP address immediately, but they were extremely cunning as they used foreign proxies to send the images. Thus, all the photos had been sent by the time Nathaniel managed to find the original proxy.
Nathaniel's brows furrowed slightly and it was obvious that he was in a very bad mood.
If he hadn't met Walter tonight, Walter would have taken the blame for everything.
Who would have thought that both of them would work together and carry out the investigation at night, even though they had a huge fight just hours ago?
After that, Nathaniel looked through the photos and deleted the more explicit ones. The rest of them were just photos of Walter and Mango in intimate positions, which angered Nathaniel.
Then, Walter hurriedly cried out, "These aren't real! I've never done any of this with Mango before!"
"I know!"
Nathaniel replied faintly.
Walter was just about to heave a sigh of relief when Nathaniel continued, "Mango is an upstanding member of society, so why would she ever get involved with a rascal like you? That would be embarrassing."
"Wow Nathaniel, you don't mince your words, do you?"
Walter felt extremely aggrieved, but now he realised that he was deliberately set up by someone.
"What are you going to do about this?"
"Investigate, of course!"
After Nathaniel finished speaking, he deleted all the photos and messages of Mango from Walter's phone.
"What can I do to help?"
Walter was extremely confused now.
However, Nathaniel didn't say anything as he got up to leave.
"Hey Nathaniel, I was asking you a question. You need to tell Mango that I've been framed, Before he could finish, Nathaniel stopped him with a murderous gaze.
"If she finds out about this, I'll kill you."
Then, he turned away without sparing Walter another glance.
Meanwhile, Walter was left feeling sullen, but he was deep in thought after Nathaniel left.
Who framed him?
What were their motives?
At the same time, Nathaniel had the same questions running through his head.
Then, he left Walter's house and went back to the villa.
It was already three or four o'clock in the morning by then, but he didn't feel sleepy at all.
If he didn't investigate this thoroughly, there would likely be more unsavoury news concerning Mango in the future. However, he had no clue who was behind this, or what their aim was.
Hence, Nathaniel was really at a loss in the face of this unknown threat.
When he returned to the bedroom, he realised that Mango was still sleeping soundly. She had even kicked off the blankets, which made Nathaniel sigh before he tucked her in again.
However, Mango immediately turned around and hugged him.
"Don't move."
Mango muttered softly and she found a comfortable position to nestle in Nathaniel's arms.
His gaze softened when he saw how relaxed Mango was.
No matter what, he would never allow Mango to be hurt by those rumours.
With that thought in mind, he took off his shoes and climbed into bed. Then, he gently hugged Mango to sleep.
Both of them slept soundly through the night.
When Mango woke up in the next morning, Nathaniel was still asleep.
As she gazed upon Nathaniel's handsome visage and his long lashes, a feeling of contentment rose in her chest.
This was her husband!
He was going to spend the rest of his life with her!
Then, she stretched out her finger and gently traced his face.
However, Nathaniel suddenly grabbed her wrist.
"Are you having fun?"
Nathaniel's gaze was affectionate and his lips were quirked up in a small smile. His dashing expression made Mango blush.
"I... I wasn't looking at you. Don't flatter yourself."
"Really? Then who secretly tried to kiss me earlier?"
Nathaniel's words made Mango's hair stand on end.
"No one's trying to kiss you! Ugh, you shameless b*stard! I'm only looking."
"Oh, is that so?"
Right now, Nathaniel felt that Mango was extremely adorable.
Then, he flipped Mango over abruptly and pinned her to the bed with his warm body pressed against hers.
"I'll give you another chance to explain yourself. What did you want to do to me earlier?"
Nathaniel was obviously threatening her.
Meanwhile, Mango felt rather uncomfortable from the heat pulsing throughout her body. Alas, she couldn't push Nathaniel away and her vision was clouded with desire.
"Get off of me."
"Nope!"
Then, Nathaniel laid in Mango's arms like a child.
Wow, she smelled great!
Nathaniel inhaled Mango's scent with an infatuated expression on his face, which made her blush even more deeply.
"Nathaniel, get off me! You're heavy!"
There was a coy lilt to her voice.
