"Nathaniel, what are you doing?"
Seeing him like this, Madam Ye completely panicked.
Nathaniel said coldly, "Bring my mother to her room and serve her well. No one is allowed to let her out without my permission. You may disobey my orders if you don't wish to work in the Ye Family anymore."
Then, he scanned the room with cold eyes. His icy gaze made everyone tremble involuntarily.
"Madam Ye, if you may!"
Madam Ye never thought she would be treated the way how she treated Mango.
"Don't you dare!"
Madam Ye yelled in frustration as she could not accept the fact that she was being treated like this.
Meanwhile, Nathaniel didn't say a word, but his men already knew how cruel he could be. Soon, they forcefully brought Madam Ye to her room.
"Nathaniel Ye, you ungrateful brat! Even though you're not my child, but this is how you repay me? How dare you! My love, are you seeing this? This is the son I’ve raised all these years. This is your son!"
Madam Ye cried and thrashed in the room.
"Mr. Ye, perhaps..."
Thomas asked warily as he was afraid that this would harm Nathaniel's reputation if the news was spread.
However, Nathaniel replied coldly, "Don't worry. I want to know everything that happened while I was away, especially about the Hans family and Mango. Bring forward anyone who knows about the truth. The more detail, the better."
Thomas's heart rippled with worry.
He never would have imagined that when everything was about to end, something would happen to Mango in The Ye's Mansion. Not only that, but the most shocking fact was that it was Madam Ye who was responsible for this.
Right at this moment, Mateo barged in with Terrance.
"Nathaniel!"
As soon as Mateo entered, he swung his fist towards Nathaniel.
Nathaniel could have avoided it, but he chose not to. Instead, he let Mateo's fist hit him in the face.
His nose burned with pain, and a warm liquid streamed down from his nose.
"Mr. Ye!"
Thomas quickly handed Nathaniel a napkin to cover his nose with.
"Mr. Mateo, what are you doing? There's no need for violence!"
"What am I doing? The Ye Family really is something! Your family actually forced my mother to her death! Where is that wh*re mother of yours?!"
Mateo's face was red from anger.
He had been away for five years. He had endured a lot and was looking forward to quickly completing his mission so that he could return home to see his mother. He had not expected to see his mother's corpse when he finally returned.
Upon his return, he heard from the servants that it was Madam Ye who forced Madam Hans to her death. Hearing this fueled Mateo with rage and he brought Terrance with him to the Ye's Mansion.
Nathaniel pushed Thomas away and looked at Mateo. He said, "I have only learned about this not long ago. As you know, both of us have only just returned. You've lost your mother, and I've lost my wife. No one knows where Mango is right now. I’m not trying to protect my mother, but I think we should find Mango first before settling other matters."
"Has Mango disappeared? Why? Did your mother do something to her? Nathaniel, our servants said that my mother agreed to commit suicide because she wanted to repay the life she owed the Ye Family and she wanted to make sure that Mango wouldn't be treated badly by the Ye Family. Only then would she be happy. Now that my mother is dead, you're telling me that Mango's gone. So you're saying that my mother's death was meaningless?"
Mateo's entire body trembled with fury.
Hearing this, Nathaniel replied with a hurt tone, "No one wanted any of this to happen, especially me. I can only say that the misunderstanding of Nick's death has caused both our families to suffer."
"Even so, you can't harm Mango as she's the daughter-in-law of the Ye family! Nathaniel Ye, I'm telling you, Mango had better be safe. Otherwise, I'll never forgive you."
As Mateo spoke, the person who had fed Mango the mute drug earlier heard the news of Nathaniel’ s return. Furthermore, he had also learned that Madam Ye was now powerless. Then, he hurriedly came forward to admit his actions to Nathaniel.
He hadn't noticed Mateo and Terrance were present too. Hurriedly, he fell to his knees in front of Nathaniel with a thump.
"Mr. Ye, I was forced to do this by Madam Ye! I didn't have a choice as I was looking out for my family!"
Nathaniel glared at him and said coldly, "What do you mean?"
"After Madam Ye learned that Madam Hans had committed suicide, she agreed to let Mrs. Ye go. However, she was worried that Mrs. Ye would go behind her back and ruin the Ye Family's reputation, so she ordered me to feed her a drug that would make her mute!"
"What did you say?"
In a flash, Nathaniel and Mateo grabbed the man’s collar at the same time.
He was nearly strangled to death, but he didn't dare struggle free. Then, he added quickly, "I didn't have a choice, Mr. Ye. If I didn't obey, my family would suffer."
"You dare drug a member of the Hans family? You have a death wish, don't you?"
Mateo kicked the man, causing him to tumble to the floor.
Meanwhile, Nathaniel let go of him.
Mute drug?
Mango was now mute?
He suddenly remembered seeing Mango in Desmond's car.
She had turned her head to the window, not wanting to look at him at all.
Back then, he had thought it was Marissa. Now that he thought about it, she must have been very disappointed with him to the extent that she didn't even want to see his face.
Now, her beautiful voice was gone?
No!
How could this be?
This wasn't possible!
Then, Nathaniel stood up abruptly. However, he staggered and fell directly into the chair once more, his face as pale as a ghost.
Terrance glared at Nathaniel and said, "We want Madam Ye to pay with her life."
Nathaniel did not speak.
