"I don't want it!"
Mango made a gesture to show her frustration, and she ignored whether he understood it or not. She turned around and left after expressing her thoughts.
Nathaniel understood it anyway.
He knew that Mango wasn't interested in his money in the first place and she wouldn't ask for it at all. However, he really didn't know what else to give her. It was as if he didn't have anything else other than money.
"Mango!"
He wanted to catch up with her. Just then, he felt a sudden sharp pain in his head, and he immediately fell to his knees with a thud.
He held his head in excruciating pain and watched as she walked further away from him. The pain that he was experiencing right now was nothing compared to losing her.
"Mr. Ye! What happened?"
The bodyguards hurried forward while he was enduring the headache.
Suddenly, he hit his head against the wall. All of his emotions surged up in an instant and it was like a demon that hurt him horribly.
However, an ending like this was in fact good.
Maybe it was a good thing that Mango divorced him. At least she wouldn't find out about his situation right now. Maybe if he really died one day, she wouldn't be in grief or sorrow either.
Although he comforted himself with these excuses, the heart-wrenching pain was killing him slowly.
Seeing him like this, the bodyguard hurried to call the doctor.
Meanwhile, Mango didn't dare to look back nor turn back. Since she had decided on divorce, she didn't want to be involved with him anymore.
She didn't notice his painful expression at all, nor did she witness the scene where he hit himself against the wall.
Just as she walked out of the hospital, she met a person at the exit.
It was Emory Li, the salesgirl whom she met at the Carnucopia Mall last time.
When she saw Mango coming out, she quickly went up to her and knelt in front of her.
"Madam, I'm sorry for judging you by your appearance. Please, don't fire me. I have a family to take care of, and I really can't give up this job. Please, I beg of you..."
Emory knelt with her head touching the ground as she spoke.
Mango was stunned.
What was going on?
"Get up quickly!"
It was only then she realised that she couldn't speak at all.
She was still unable to face the fact that she was mute. She would subconsciously try to speak whenever she was anxious, only to realize that others could not hear her at all.
Just then, a crowd of onlookers gathered around and whispered to one another.
"What's going on?"
"I don't know. What on earth does this woman want to do to her?"
"I know right, she has already knelt, and still that woman doesn't say anything. What's wrong with her?"
Upon hearing the discussions of the surrounding people, she felt really helpless.
It wasn't that she didn't want Emory to get up, it was just that she couldn't speak at all.
Seeing that the surrounding people were on her side, Emory pretended to cry even harder.
"Madam, I know it's my fault for what happened last time. You can scold or hit me, but please don't let the manager fire me. I need to take care of my handicapped brother at home. Without this job, our family will suffer. Madam, I'm sorry, it's all my fault. Please forgive me."
She cried even more miserably, and she even held Mango's legs with both hands to stop her from leaving.
Mango felt a little helpless. Just as she looked down at her, she happened to see the sly expression on Emory's face.
She instantly understood what was going on.
Emory was deliberately putting on an act for others to see.
When Mango thought of how she'd fallen so far from grace that a salesgirl could bully her, anger thrummed through her veins like lava.
If she remembered it correctly, the Carnucopia Mall now belonged to her, right?
Mango looked at Emory coldly and directly grabbed her shoulders from behind.
Emory was taken by surprise. Although she didn't know what Mango was trying to do, she still continued to put on her act. She cried and said,
"Madam, just hit me as you like. I just want to keep my job."
A hint of coldness flashed across Mango's eyes.
This woman was so incorrigible!
Since she couldn't speak, therefore she took action instead.
With a twist, Mango flung Emory away.
"Ah!"
Caught off guard, Emory was thrown out immediately. She fell to the ground head-on, and two of her teeth were knocked out while blood flowed instantly.
"How could you hit me?"
Emory leaped up from her feet immediately and pointed at Mango, while scolding her angrily.
Soon, the onlookers surrounded Mango in no time.
"What's wrong with you? Why did you do that? You're a savage."
"That's right. Why are you bullying people like that? Don't even think of walking away!"
"Call the police! Hurry up!"
