"Madam Ye, you can't accuse me like this! Madam!"
Sisi called out hurriedly.
"Cover her mouth and take her away!"
Then, Madam Ye gave the order quickly.
The people surrounding Sisi immediately covered her mouth and took her away.
Madam Ye sneered, "Why can't I? I'll show you what I'm capable of! Do you think I'm dumb enough to leave you alive so that you can tell Nathan about this? As long as I'm alive, you and that woman Mango have no place in this house."
Sisi started to scream in anger. Unfortunately, her mouth was covered and she couldn't cry out. On the other hand, Mango was still resting.
She was too tired.
The wounds on her arms and back had sapped her of all her strength. Although her hands were full, she really wanted to have a good sleep.
Sisi's arrival gave her a sense of security for the time being. After all, Sisi knew how to fight. However, she did not expect that Sisi would be defeated by Madam Ye's men, nor did she think that the older woman would attack her up until this ambush.
Then, Madam Ye said to the people beside her, "Those who betrayed me and were loyal to Mango, take them away and make sure they won't be able to step into Ocean City ever again."
"Yes, Madam!"
Madam Ye was able to become who she was today after numerous struggles in the business world and managing the Ye Family. Surely, she had some tricks up her sleeves.
Everything changed while Mango was asleep.
"Mom! I'm home! Mr. Ye! I'm home!"
It was Zion's voice.
His voice was crisp and anxious, yet cheerful.
Madam Ye frowned slightly and said to her men, "Bring Zion to my room. Don't make a fuss, and tell him his Mom was injured and is currently resting. Tell him to be quiet."
"Yes, Madam Ye!"
Then, her men went out immediately.
As soon as Zion entered the living room, he was stopped.
"Sir Zion." "Get out of the way, I want to see my Mom!"
Upon returning home, all Zion cared about was if Mango was alright.
The men said respectfully, "Sir Zion, Madam Ye wants to see you. Ms. Shen has suffered some injuries in the Underground City and is currently resting. Please lower your voice."
"Injured? Did you say that my Mom was injured? Who did it? Where's Mr. Ye? Why did he let my Mom get hurt again? No, I have to go take a look."
As he spoke, Zion was about to head upstairs.
"Sir Zion, I'm sorry but you can't. Madam Ye's orders are that no one should disturb Ms. Shen. Plus, she wishes to see you. Since she's your grandmother, shouldn't you greet her first?"
Zion stopped in his tracks as he heard their words.
"You're right. Alright then, I'll go visit Grandma first, then visit Mom. You guys take good care of Mom, okay?"
"Yes, sir."
Zion went into Madam Ye's room unwillingly.
"Grandma, were you looking for me?"
"Zion, you're home? Come here and let me take a good look at you."
Then, Madam Ye gestured kindly at Zion.
Zion went forward, more obediently than usual.
Madam Ye was actually very satisfied with Zion. Now that Wisdom had turned out like this, she did not know what the future held. Zion was now the only male heir in the Ye Family.
"Zion, you are not allowed to go out alone anymore. You are the heir of the Ye Family, and everything will be handed over to you in the future. You can't be so reckless. What if something happens? What will happen to me? What will happen to the Ye Family?"
Upon being lectured by Madam Ye, Zion said with some embarrassment, "I'm just worried about Mom."
"Your Mom is under your Dad's supervision. Don't you worry about this from now on, all right? You should focus on learning more skills so that you can be worthy of inheriting the Ye Family in the future. This is your responsibility, got it?"
"Alright."
Zion nodded, but added unhappily, "Mr. Ye always let Mom get hurt. I have to protect Mom."
A trace of jealousy flashed across Madam Ye's eyes.
Nathaniel was protective of Mango, and now even her grandson was thinking about her too? Mango was simply too loathsome!
However, Madam Ye kept her emotions to herself.
She stroked Zion's head and said, "It's good to protect your Mom, but don't you want to protect Grandma too?"
"Of course I do. I'll protect you too."
Zion was oblivious as he was still an innocent child.
Madam Ye was particularly satisfied with this answer.
She definitely couldn't allow Zion and Mango to be together no matter what. Otherwise, what would she do if her grandson didn't adore her anymore?
Compared to Nathaniel who was not easy to control, her grandson Zion was simply amazing.
Madam Ye smiled kindly and said, "Zion, I have a favor to ask you."
"What's the matter?"
"Your mother's arm is injured, and your Dad has a lot of work to do in the company. So, he can't leave for the time being. There seems to be something wrong with your Mom's body, and she needs a prescription. Can you help her find the medicine?"
"What happened to her?"
