"Nathaniel, let me out!"
Since Mango couldn't make a sound, she knocked on the car window incessantly.
Nathaniel understood her and said in a low voice, "You stay here for a while. I'll handle it."
Handle what?
Mango didn't feel like there was any need to resolve the matter just now.
Everyone now knew Emory's true colours. Since those people were afraid that Nathaniel would really upload the video of them, they would not dare to do anything else to her.
As such, she didn't know what Nathaniel was trying to do.
Also, she didn't want to stay there nor be protected by him. Although she was indeed caught up in some trouble just now, she had already called the police and didn't need Nathaniel's help anymore.
However, he did not listen to her, and he turned around and walked away directly.
While he was on his way, his body suddenly gave up.
He fell to his knees and gasped for air.
He felt as if his head was going to split open.
He held his head tightly and punched it uncontrollably as if it was the only way to relieve his pain.
Mango had given him Bettany's contact information regarding a hypnotist that could dispel his hypnosis. Despite that, he refused to go for treatment.
He'd caused Mango to suffer so much. Now, he treated it as a punishment for himself.
Then, he curled up himself up in the corner.
He was afraid that Mango would see the embarrassing state he was currently in, so he locked her in the car.
He also knew that Mango didn't like his help, and she didn't even want to have anything to do with him. However, he couldn't help but come to her rescue when he heard that something had happened to her.
After all, she was his beloved.
The excruciating pain was too much that he almost fainted.
This headache had become increasingly painful as time passed. Right now, it was completely unbearable. However, this pain constantly reminded him how he had lost his wife.
When Emory caught up to them, she happened to see Nathaniel curled up on the ground as if he was in great pain.
She frowned, and she quickly came up with a plan. Then, she took out her mobile phone and slowly approached Nathaniel.
After tidying herself up, she immediately wrapped her arms around Nathaniel's neck and got closer to him. Then, she kissed him on the face and took a shot of their intimate moment at the same time.
Meanwhile, Nathaniel was too immersed in the pain that he didn't have a chance to stop her at all. Just as he finally regained his consciousness, he realised that he had been tricked.
He hurriedly raised his head, and Emory backed away subconsciously after witnessing the piercing gaze in his eyes. However, she grew braver again when she noticed how he was suffering from great pain.
"I can see that you're familiar with that woman, and I don't want to lose this job. As long as you guys promise to not fire me and disregard this matter, I will delete the photo. Otherwise, I will send it to her and tell her that you and I are in a relationship. By then, you won't be able to explain yourself at all. Don't think that I can't see it. You two are lovers, right? The way you look at each other is different."
Emory proudly took her mobile phone and swung it in front of Nathaniel.
She didn't care about a sick man like him at all.
Although she didn't know why the man who was so aggressive to her just now had suddenly collapsed to the ground, it didn't matter. She felt lucky to be able to take a photo with a handsome man and keep her job at the same time.
Nathaniel glanced at the phone and suddenly felt that the photos taken were very disgusting.
He reached out his hand and wiped off the kiss from his cheek. Then, he said coldly, "Delete the photos."
"If you agree to my request, I will delete it, otherwise... ah!"
Before Emory could finish her words, Nathaniel suddenly grabbed her by the neck and tightened his grip.
At that moment, she felt as if she was about to suffocate.
She kept hitting his hands but they were like a pair of clamps that she couldn't break free from no matter how hard she tried.
At this time, Nathaniel looked like an ax murderer.
With a pair of furious eyes, he said coldly, "No one threatens me. Who said you could kiss me without my permission? Who do you think you are?"
Just then, he grabbed the phone from Emory's hand and completely smashed it on the ground. He stepped on it as he grabbed her neck with the other hand.
Meanwhile, Emory was completely terrified by his violent move.
"What are you doing? Let me tell you, murdering is against the law."
She was really scared!
She saw the merciless gaze in his eyes.
Because of that, she immediately felt a chill run down her spine.
It was too horrifying!
Was this man insane?
How could he be so reckless?
However, Nathaniel sneered and said, "Murder? My life is coming to an end too. What is there to care about?"
"You-! No! Help!"
Emory was so scared that her legs went limp.
Was she going to die?
Was that why he collapsed to the ground?
Now, she regretted it so much.
Nathaniel had an urge to kill her at this moment. The splitting headache engulfed him completely, which made him extremely irritable. He felt like he should do something to rid himself of his frustrations.
Just then, his cell phone rang, but he didn't seem to hear it.
Emory felt that the hand grasping her neck was getting increasingly tighter. Soon, she would be strangled to death!
Upon thinking of this, she struggled even harder. She pointed to Nathaniel's cell phone and said with difficulty, "Your cell phone rang. Maybe that woman is calling you."
Nathaniel stopped abruptly.
Mango?
Was she calling him?
