"Where is she?"
Nathaniel let go of Mrs. Fang and threw her to the ground while she trembled uncontrollably.
Desmond quickly squatted down and reached out to her.
"Come, I'll help you up."
Desmond's words made Mrs. Fang burst into tears.
"Don't you ever think that I'd forgive you just because of this. If it weren't for you, Marissa wouldn't have died."
Mrs. Fang shook his hand off and cried bitterly.
Desmond's heart throbbed with pain.
She was right, perhaps Marissa really wouldn't have died if it weren't for him.
She might not get the love she wanted, but she would live well. There was always a hope and future if only she was alive, wasn't it?
However, his love for Marissa was the reason for her death and Mrs. Fang lost her beloved daughter because of this.
Desmond accepted Mrs. Fang's accusation wholeheartedly because he knew that he deserved it.
Nathaniel could care less about the disputes between the two of them. He had come to save Desmond and repay the latter with gratitude. Since everything was over, his focus was solely on Mango now.
"You said there was news about Mango. Where is she?"
Desmond looked at Nathaniel and whispered, "She was taken away by Abyss. Ned found the button to Abyss' suit in the backyard. It must have been ripped off by Mango when she struggled."
Ned was that thin man.
Nathaniel was slightly stunned. He never imagined that Abyss would have the guts to do anything to Mango. Did he really think that Isla could protect him and the Tang family?
"How could Ned be sure that it was Abyss's buttons?"
"There are Abyss' fingerprints on it, and Ned said that he checked the surveillance camera and found that the button on Abyss's suit was the same."
Nathaniel felt at ease when he heard this.
What? Abyss Tang?
How dare he!
Then, he looked at Desmond and asked, "Why do you refer Mango as your mistress?"
"A person like me has no value in this world, and the only thing I'm worthy of is to become a subject of an experiment to be studied by others. For all my life, I lived like a guinea pig. This was what Josiah and Isla told me at that time. I used to think so because people would stare at me like I'm a weirdo even if I went out. They would even treat me like a commodity to be auctioned in the Underground City, so I told myself that I'm useless and a waste of resources. But one day, Marissa told me that everyone is unique and they should chase after their dreams. From then on, Marissa's wish became mine. Now that Marissa was gone, I wanted to go with her. However, she was worried about her parents and Mango. She told me that she owed Mango a favor and hoped I could have a chance to repay on her behalf. When I was controlled by Isla, you and the mistress risked your lives to save me. Despite knowing that it was a trap, you still came to my rescue. For this reason, I will be at your disposal all my life. No matter what you want me to do, I have no complaints, but I hope that you can let me take care of Marissa's parents."
Nathaniel nodded when he heard Desmond's
words.
Desmond was a real man!
Although he looked a little too beautiful, so what?
Nathaniel deeply respected him for his unwavering affection towards Marissa.
"Well, I promise you. From now on, I will hand these people to you. You will be responsible for them and obey Mango's orders from now on. The original Dark Night Empire of the Ye family was dismissed, and you are the new captain of the team now. I hope you will not repeat Merle's mistakes."
"I won't!"
There was a hint of firmness in Desmond's eyes.
"You and Ned should follow me now. I will find someone to take care of Marissa's parents. I hope that no matter what happens, you will put Mango as your priority."
"All right."
Desmond turned around and left with complete trust in Nathaniel's words.
Nathaniel was relieved to see him like this.
Finally, Mango had her own subordinates around her.
Nathaniel followed Desmond and the others back to the hotel. Meanwhile, Ned was weak on his knees when he saw Nathaniel.
"Mr. Ye."
"You'd better find out their address, or else..."
"I haven't found their exact location, but it should be within this range."
In the face of Nathaniel's command, Ned was so scared that he couldn't speak clearly and he almost peed his pants.
Nathaniel looked at the area marked by Ned and quickly glanced at Desmond.
Desmond should be familiar with this area.
