Mango was stunned for a moment.
"Why are you here?"
After meeting Abyss again five years later, Mango's expression turned a little cold.
Abyss felt inexplicably sad when he looked at the cold expression of the woman whom he loved.
He still remembered the ups and downs that he had been through with Mango, and also the happy moments that they used to spend together as a family of four.
But why did it end up like this?
Furthermore, Mango was even resentful of him than before.
Was it wrong to love someone?
Abyss looked at Mango and said affectionately, "You guys won't be able to escape. You can only do it if you agree to marry me with Marissa's identity."
"You already knew about it, didn't you?"
She fumed with rage when she remembered that Abyss was in charge of her plastic surgery in the past.
She would never tolerate it if Abyss had known about the truth for the past five years, and he still treated her and the children this way.
Abyss shook his head and said, "I had no idea. It was grandma's decision to save you five years ago, but I'm not aware of the things that happened."
"Your grandma?"
"Yes. My grandmother ordered me to work in Ocean City and she gave me an address. I didn't know why, but I couldn't go against her order so I went to the gas station that day. However, I didn't expect to meet you and save you. I always believed that fate brought us together, and I never expected it to be an encounter schemed by somebody else. Anyway, I'm grateful to have met you in the past five years and I never regretted staying with you guys. I don't mind if you continue to live with me with Marissa's identity. It doesn't matter to me as long as I'm with you."
"But I do mind!"
Upon hearing what Abyss said, Mango immediately rejected him.
"I will never be Marissa. We're different and no one has the right to decide our fate. Abyss, you should know me better than anyone else after you lived with me for the past few years. Don't attempt to change my mind. I'm grateful to you, but I'll never like you. That's two totally different things. Plus, I thought that your family has learnt a lesson after what Nathaniel did."
Abyss was jealous when he noticed how Mango mentioned Nathaniel's name with pride.
"How is Nathaniel any better than me?"
"There is no comparison. I fell in love with him and that's it, I don't mind even if he's a beggar."
Mango felt that it was pointless to talk about these things with Abyss now. She had already said everything that was on her mind, but Abyss was still stubborn. What else could she do?
Abyss's expression turned ugly when he heard Mango's words.
Mango knew that it would just be a waste of time if she continued.
"Get out of the way! Or I'll get you outta here! It's your choice!"
Mango was already getting ready to make a move as she spoke.
Abyss naturally saw through her intentions.
He said sorrowfully, "Are you going to hurt me now? Mango Shen, are you sure? You have to know that if it weren't for me five years ago, not only you, but even the child in your belly wouldn't be able to survive in this world." "That's why you and the Tang family are still alive. Otherwise, do you think Nathaniel will let you off given what your family did to my children?"
Mango's words provoked Abyss once again.
"Nathaniel Ye again! You're so full of him! Will you agree to be with me only if he's dead? If that's the case, screw him and just let him die!"
Abyss took out his walkie-talkie as he spoke.
Mango immediately understood Abyss's intentions.
This time, she didn't even bother to talk before she stepped forward and kicked away the walkie-talkie in his hand. After that, she grabbed hold of Abyss by the neck.
"Do you really want to die? Do you think that you'd be safe just because you've rescued me last time? You even tried to frame us by using Zion and Rita. And how dare you try to be in possession of me now? Abyss, you're sick of living, aren't you?"
"Are you trying to kill me? Do you have the guts to do it?"
Abyss disregarded her threatening actions because he knew that she would never attack him for real.
In the past five years of being with her, he knew exactly what her character was like. Although she had never given up on her children, she was a strong and delicate woman.
However, being strong was not enough to give her the courage to kill.
This was the reason why he dared to provoke Mango. It was the only thing that he could do because he wasn't as great as Nathaniel.
In fact, he was right. Mango didn't have the courage to kill another person. She had to take her beloved child and Nathaniel into consideration.
However, that didn't mean that she couldn't attack him.
Mango sneered and immediately strangled Abyss by the throat.
Abyss was extremely shocked. Before he could say anything, he passed out in no time.
Mango threw him aside and took the walkie-talkie. Then, she quickly entered Marissa's room with Desmond.
However, Marissa's body was gone!
This was the first thing they discovered after entering the room.
"Where's Marissa? Where's my daughter?"
Mr. Fang looked for her everywhere as if he had gone crazy.
Meanwhile, Desmond's face was terribly gloomy.
Mango knew that Marissa must have been hidden by Isla.
This woman was absolutely awful and despicable!
How dare she do this to a dead person?
As long as something had a shred of value, she would utilize it to the extreme before she was willing to give up.
"Let's go!"
Mango did not want to waste any more time here.
