"Where is she?"
Mango quickly leaned over to look.
Her long hair brushed Nathaniel's face, and her delicate scent unwittingly wafted into Nathaniel's nostrils, making him paused.
"Where is this place?"
Mango shoved Nathaniel lightly as she looked at the red dots on the computer, and that jarred him to his senses.
"South of the city."
Nathaniel sent the coordinates to Thomas as he spoke to capture Susie.
Then, Mango stood up quickly as well and she said, “Let's go, we'll go check it out."
"Don't go, Mango. Leave it to me."
Nathaniel grabbed her hand.
Mango was too tired. Ever since the news of Rita's abduction had reached her, Mango had been in a tense state the entire time.
Looking at Nathaniel's worried eyes, Mango naturally knew what he was thinking.
"Don't worry. I'm fine. Plus, I can't bring myself to stay at home. So, why not I go together with you?"
"You heard it, too. Rita is different. We just went to catch Susie and the others, so..."
“We can always hope, right?"
The expectant look in Mango's eyes made Nathaniel felt like he was unable to meet her gaze.
“Make sure to wear extra clothes. It's cold outside."
"Alright."
Seeing that Nathaniel had agreed, Mango quickly went to change into a thick coat.
After that, both of them quickly got into the car and they headed to the southern region of the city.
Meanwhile, Thomas' s men had surrounded the location Nathaniel gave them earlier.
This was a very ordinary housing area. If it wasn't for Andrea and Susie's phone call, it would be difficult to pinpoint her location.
"Have we got her?"
Nathaniel got out of the car as he spoke.
The cold wind blew through his hair, making him look much colder.
Mango was left in the car by him. She looked out through the glass and saw what was happening outside.
Thomas nodded, and he replied, "We have the perimeter under control, but we haven't entered yet in fear of alerting her."
"Are there men dispatched at every entrance?"
"Yes, there are!"
Then, Nathaniel narrowed his eyes at the house in front of him before saying, "Is Susie alone in there, or is John with her?"
"It should just be Susie. I didn't see any trace of anyone else."
At that moment, Walter sent a text to Nathaniel.
"I have found John and also controlled him. You can come to pick him up when you come over."
This was a piece of excellent news to Nathaniel.
Nathaniel acknowledged the word "favor" and turned off the phone.
"Let's move."
In order to avoid hurting Mango, Nathaniel did not follow Thomas and the others into the car. Instead, he accompanied Mango and the others in the car.
At the same time, Mango was nervous and worried as she couldn't sit still. If it wasn't for Nathaniel holding her hand, she might have rushed out of the car.
It took Thomas and the others a lot of effort to control Susie.
"What are you doing? You're trespassing in my house and we can sue you for this!”
When Susie recognized Thomas, she struggled much harder.
The moment Mango saw Susie, she really wanted to give her two tight slaps.
This woman was absolutely detestable!
She was the one who had caused all these troubles!
If it wasn't for her, she wouldn't be the topic of gossip in Ocean City, and Rita would not be kidnapped.
Thus, Mango wanted to get off the car, but Nathaniel stopped her.
"Let's get out of here first."
Next, Nathaniel signaled for Thomas and the others to get Susie into the car. Then, he got out of the car before walking into Susie's room.
Her room was a little messy, but she had everything she needed.
Mango followed Nathaniel into the house and she saw various posts about herself on the computer. Other than that, she spotted chat records with some of the cyberbullies and a few photos of her.
Then, she spotted some photos on the floor which had Mango's face from five years ago on them.
After that, Nathaniel took photos of all of this and he even summoned a few reporters.
Before the arrival of the reporters, Nathaniel had packed up anything that would paint Mango in an unfavorable light.
Meanwhile, Mango started searching frantically for Rita, but unfortunately, there was no sign of her daughter.
After that, she sat on a chair disappointedly while muttering to herself.
"Where is Rita? Where did Susie take her?"
After Nathaniel packed everything away, he whispered to Mango, "How about you head back to the car first? It would be a bad idea for you to be here once the reporters arrive. Plus, you're in a foul mood, so leave this all to me, okay?"
Mango looked at Nathaniel and when she was about to ask him about Rita, Mango chose to abandon the notion again when she saw him strategizing in his mind.
"Got it."
Mango was sullen as she got into the car, and she completely missed the look of hurt and concern in Nathaniel's eyes.
The reporters arrived very quickly. Under the leadership of Nathaniel, the case of Mango being framed and slandered finally ended.
The computer displayed the photos that Nathaniel had edited, and naturally, his skills were so great that the reporters could not see the difference.
There were roughly a dozen photos similar to Mango's, and yet the faces on every one of them were different. Furthermore, the computer contained evidence that Susie had hired cyber troopers to smear Mango' s reputation.
