Andrea had not expected Madam Ye to say that.
She sneaked a glance at Madam Ye and noticed that the elderly woman was staring right at her. It was as if she could see through her by doing so.
Andrea quickly lowered her head and cried, "Grandma, forget it. Let's go!"
"You're just going to let it go?"
Madam Hans was burning with rage.
Andrea was such a pure and innocent girl. And now, after she was defiled by Nathaniel, how could he still act so irresponsibly? Madam Hans couldn't believe how absurd it was.
"What else can we do? We can't possibly ask Nathan to divorce my sister."
Andrea cried out in grievance.
Nathaniel, however, smiled coldly and said, "It's best if you don't call her your sister. It’s disgusting to hear that from you. As for you Madam Hans, you should watch what you say. I still hold power in Ocean City, you know that, right?"
"Are you trying to threaten us?"
Madam Hans felt that Nathaniel was acting outrageously.
He was never like this to Mango before.
Nathaniel shrugged indifferently and said, "Madam Hans, I'm not trying to threaten you. You came throwing accusations at me, and now you're upset about me being harsh? Plus, I wouldn't take a single glance at her even if she stripped herself naked in front of me. Trust me, I'm not in the least interested in her. As for who took her virginity, I think you should ask her yourself."
"You're going to treat it as if nothing happened? Fine!"
Madam Hans couldn't stay any longer and stormed off with Andrea.
Andrea did not want to leave, but what could else could she do in such a situation?
"Nathan, I won't pester you from now on anymore."
"That's for the best. And please call me Mr. Ye in the future. You have no right to call me by my name."
Nathaniel replied coldly.
Madam Hans was trembling with anger, but she had no way to deal with Nathaniel. In the end, she could only bring Andrea home.
Madam Ye waited for them to leave before asking, "What exactly is going on?"
"Andrea was raped, but I wasn't the one who did it. Although there was a scandal about us that day, I left as soon as the reporters left. Dylan can be my witness. However, Andrea seemed to have been raped by two adult film directors. She couldn't find them, so she is blaming me for it."
Nathaniel told his mother about what happened from the top.
Madam Ye frowned slightly and said, "No one can prove that nothing happened between the both of you. It doesn't matter what others say, what’s important is whether Mango believes in what you say. You’d better tell Mango about this, or else..."
"Mom, Mango knows about this. I’ve told her about it and she trusts me. Besides, I’ve brought her back. In the meantime, I'm going to hold a press conference to clarify matters of our divorce agreement."
Nathaniel told her his plan.
Madam Ye was relieved to hear him say this.
"That’s good. You should not let Mango suffer anymore. Anyway, what is wrong with Madam Hans? She would rather trust an outsider and not her own granddaughter. What’s worse is that she wanted you to divorce your wife for her. If Mango knew about this, she would be so heartbroken."
Madam Ye's heart ached for Mango.
Nathaniel smiled and said, "Don't worry, I won't tell her what happened."
"You're not staying for dinner, right?"
Madam Ye could tell that Nathaniel couldn't wait to get back to Mango. It was pointless to ask him to stay.
Nathaniel smiled goofily. Just as he was about to leave, Zion walked out.
"I don't understand. What does mom like about you when you're so flirtatious?"
"You brat. Use your words wisely. What do you mean by flirtatious? Do you think that's how your father is?"
Because of Mango's return, Nathaniel was in a good mood.
Zion also knew that his dad would be with his mom tonight. Still, he handed some cakes to Nathaniel and said, "Give it to mommy. She likes this. You'd better clear things up quickly. Rita and I miss her a lot."
"Got it."
