Numerous nude photos of her had been leaked all over the Internet. Furthermore, she didn't know what grudge the other party held against her, but they hadn't blurred her face at all. Most importantly, the men at her side kept changing.
"The private life of the Ye Family's mistress is such a mess."
The article's title made Mango's heart stop.
How could this be?
Who would have her nude photos?
When Mango failed to discern why, she started to panic.
This was equivalent to her taking off all her clothes in front of everyone in the country.
No matter how much courage she had, she would not be able to accept this.
Did Nathaniel know about this?
Now that he was in a video conference, what would the executives think if they saw this?
She felt that what had happened in the study earlier was sweet, but it suddenly morphed into a bitter taste that lingered in her mouth.
Then, she pushed the computer away and ran to the study frantically.
Meanwhile, Nathaniel had finished his conference and he was on the phone with Noah. Both of them were so engrossed in conversation that Nathaniel had no idea what was going on outside.
"Noah, that medicine that you prescribed to me better be effective. If I can't get it up anymore, I will kill you."
Nathaniel joked with a threatening edge in his voice.
Then, Noah chuckled and replied, "Do you really think that will happen to someone as energetic as you? Quit batching, that medicine can only make you impotent for a month. After you stop it, you'll recover on your own. However, isn't it a bad idea to hide this from your wife? You could just stop eating the medicine that she makes for you."
"Screw you. You don't have to worry about my problems."
Then, Mango's body stiffened.
What did that mean?
So, Nathaniel wasn't sick at all?
Was he deliberately refusing to touch her?
Furthermore, he asked Noah to prescribe him medicine to give him those symptoms?
Why?
Why was he doing this?
Mango's hands clenched into fists and she felt as if her entire body was frozen in shock.
She couldn't figure it out.
Why would a healthy man find a way to make himself impotent for no reason? Was he tired of her? Did he have someone else?
Hence, she wanted to leave, but her legs were glued to the spot.
However, Noah had no idea what was going on with Nathaniel, so he laughed and said, "Yes, I don't mean to pry, but your fight with that Song fellow has made its way to Santell Capital! What happened? Do you have something against them? You know that the Song Family has a lot of business connections here, so it will be hard to do things if you two are fighting. I guess it's better if you settle it."
Nathaniel was immediately enraged when Walter was mentioned.
"That's none of your business. If it wasn't for his family's connections in the Santell Capital, I would have killed him just for the stuff he had on my wife."
"What is it? What made you so angry that you would throw away your reputation just to fight him?"
"It has nothing to do with you."
Then, Nathaniel's conversation caused a memory to flash through Mango's mind.
Not long ago, Nathaniel and Walter fought in public and she'd even gone over to stop them.
Plus, Nathaniel said that Walter had something on her. What were they?
Could it be those nude photos?
Otherwise, why would Nathaniel be so angry?
Then, Mango suddenly recalled that Nathaniel had stopped touching her since that day.
She really believed it when Nathaniel said that he was impotent. Hence, she never expected that he would ask Noah for the medicine to achieve those symptoms.
Was that it?
Could it be that all of his sweet words and affections were fake?
Mango's heart couldn't seem to take any more of it.
Then, she retreated and stumbled backwards before she ran out of the study.
No!
She had to find out what was going on.
After that, Mango put on some simple makeup and took a cab to Walter's home.
Meanwhile, Walter had never expected Mango to come over, so he was obviously quite excited.
"My lovely Mango, you're here? Did you have some free time on your hands today? You... ouch!"
Before Walter could finish speaking, she immediately grabbed hold of his collar and spat out, "Tell me! Why did you and Nathaniel fight last time?"
"What? I don't know, he might have gone insane."
Walter wanted to use a joke to smooth over the matter.
However, Mango came all the way to his house to demand an explanation, so she wasn't going to accept his excuses.
"Walter, although I'm not as skilled as Nathaniel, I will not let someone threaten me for no reason at all. Please think carefully about this, if I don't get my answer today, I will kill myself right inside your home. In fact, I want to see what the Song Family would do if the mistress of the Ye Family dies here."
Mango's expression was truly terrifying, and it managed to strike fear in Walter's heart.
"What's wrong with you, Mango? We can talk this through if you let go of me first."
"Tell me! What did you have on me that's enough to make Nathaniel fight you on the street?"
Suddenly, Mango bellowed at Walter furiously.
