"You should know that I can!"
Nathaniel regarded Madam Ye's struggling with an icy stare. Despite her thrashing, threatening, and trying everything to struggle free, in the end, she was still forced to gulp down the drugs.
"Blech!"
She tried to rake the contents out with her hand but someone gave a slap on her back.
With that, Madam Ye swallowed it in one gulp.
She grasped her neck and screamed in pain, but Nathaniel ignored them all.
"I remember you told me that you were very close with my father. You have also said that it was a shame that he had passed away too early. I have a feeling that Dad might have been very lonely all these years, so I have built a small house in the Ye family's graveyard. It's just right for you. Don't worry, I’ll send someone to protect you, and also cater to your needs."
Hearing Nathaniel’s words, Madam Ye's eyes widened in shock.
She said hoarsely, "Are you putting me under house arrest? Aren't you afraid that I will tell the public about what you've done? Nathaniel, I’m telling you, I'll tell everyone what you did to me! You heartless b*stard!"
Meanwhile, Nathaniel didn't give much of a response.
Madam Ye felt that her throat burned with every word she uttered. However, no one seemed to pay any attention to her.
She would never have imagined that Nathaniel would actually dare to do the things she had once done to Mango.
She had overestimated herself!
Nathaniel was an animal!
She had thought that since she had raised Nathaniel, he wouldn't dare to do anything to her. After all, it was difficult to ignore public opinion.
However, she had forgotten and misjudged Mango's position in his heart.
Madam Ye didn't want to accept her fate, but there was nothing she could do right now. Without power, she was just an old lady in her waning years.
On the other hand, Nathaniel had already arranged for a car to send Madam Ye off.
Lucy asked deliberately.
"Mr. Ye, Madam Ye is still injured. Shall we call a doctor for her?" "My mother misses my father very much and surely can't wait to go there, so there's no need to call a doctor. After all, they're all minor injuries. Mango was able to do housework with injuries, and I believe that my mother is quite tough herself, so she must be fine. Don't you think?"
While he said this, Nathaniel glanced at Madam Ye.
There was a smile on his face, but it didn't reach his eyes.
"You..."
Madam Ye wanted to say something, but her throat hurt terribly. She could only clutch her throat and glared at Nathaniel. All she wanted was to slaughter him with her stare.
Of course, Nathaniel couldn't care less. He drew closer to Madam Ye and said in a low voice, "Without Mango by my side, I'm as ruthless as a devil. It was you who let it out. I believe you would know that the sin we bring upon ourselves is the hardest to bear."
"You..."
Madam Ye felt a surge of anger welling up in her guts. However, she forced it down as a metallic taste came barreling through.
As long as she was alive, she would have the chance to take revenge!
When the time came, Nathaniel would pay.
She wanted Nathaniel to drown in regret!
Nathaniel, however, read her thoughts through her eyes and said with a faint smile, "You won't have the chance. Have a nice trip."
After that, he got someone to take Madam Ye to the car and they departed to the Ye Family's graveyard.
The Ye family had their own private graveyard. It was geomantic but also deserted. There was no one around for miles. If Madam Ye were forced to live in such a place, she would also suffer even if she was in good health, let alone her current situation.
Madam Ye got into the car with her bodyguards by her side. These men, who had once been under her, had now become her wardens.
How ironic!
If she had known, she should have killed Mango back then when she had the chance and drown Nathaniel in regret for the rest of his life.
She hated herself for showing mercy, and she despised Nathaniel's heartless acts.
With her heart heavy, Madam Ye wasn't very cooperative the whole journey.
Just as they turned onto a road, an extended version of a Rolls-Royce blocked their way.
The car stopped.
Madam Ye saw that Mateo was getting out of the car, and she suddenly became nervous.
She wanted to call out and scream, but she couldn't make up a syllable.
She struggled, but the bodyguards by her side forbade her to move, and the burns on her back ached.
Meanwhile, Mateo stepped down and walked towards Madam Ye slowly.
"Oh, Madam Ye, where are you going?"
Mateo smiled, but Madam Ye felt as if her entire body was trembling.
It was as if daggers were behind that grin and the intensity in his eyes made Madam Ye squirm. To be honest, she wanted to run away immediately.
Nathaniel, that b*stard!
Was he actually handing her over to Mateo?
Madam Ye finally understood what Nathaniel had meant when he said to "Have a good trip".
He hadn't intended to keep her alive at all!
As she thought about this, Madam Ye mumbled and shook her head vigorously. Her expression
was as terrified as if she had seen a demon.
Mateo was looking at her with a sneer and said, "My mother didn't look like this when you forced her to her death. Madam Ye, aren’t you practically a celebrity now? Why don’t you start acting like one? People eventually die someday, and you're already this old, so isn't it right for you to accompany my mother?"
