"What's wrong with you, old lady? Didn't I tell you? Our madam doesn't want to see guests!"
Haniya quickly protected Mango behind her when she saw Madam Tang. Upon seeing this, Mango felt a little touched.
It had been a long time since the two of them met each other and Madam Tang's complexion had worsened. It seemed that she was having a difficult time lately.
Mango pulled Haniya to the side and looked at the old woman in front of her. Then, she greeted her respectfully, "Greetings, Madam Tang."
"I thought you didn't want to acknowledge me anymore."
Madam Tang's tone was unpleasant.
Mango just smiled and didn't say anything. When the older lady saw Mango acting in such a manner, she was a little angry.
"Mango, didn't our Tang Family treat you well for the past five years?"
"Yeah."
Madam Tang saw a glimmer of hope when she heard Mango's reply.
"Well, at least you still have some conscience. In the past five years, although the Tang family hasn't given you any good opportunities, we have helped you raise your child. Also, we've helped you bear the blame for the rumors and even helped you become an excellent car designer. All of this has been given to you by the Tang family, but how can you let Nathaniel destroy us now? Is there no room for mercy at all?"
Madam Tang was extremely aggravated as she spoke as if Mango had done something unforgiven.
Mango did not interrupt her. After she finished speaking, Mango asked in a low voice, "Madam Tang, do you know what Abyss did to me?"
Upon hearing this, Old Madam Tang was slightly stunned and her face was flushed red with nervousness.
"Mango, you know, Abyss. He loves you too much, that's why..."
"He tried to kill me because he loves me too much?"
Mango was questioning her with a calm and indifferent tone, which left Madam Tang speechless.
"I know he made a stupid mistake. You knew that he had feelings for you for the past five years.
But after he tried to woo you for so many years, all of his efforts were futile. He is just unwilling to give up."
"Madam Tang, if your grandson is unwilling to accept the fact, does that mean that it's also rational for him to kill others?"
Upon hearing this, Madam Tang felt extremely embarrassed.
"What about this? We won't care about Abyss and Nathaniel can do whatever he wants to him. Just based on our kindness towards you and your children for the past five years, can you beg Nathaniel to at least spare the lives of the Tang Family?"
The meaning behind her words was very clear. It seemed that Madam Tang had already decided to sacrifice Abyss to save the Tang family.
Meanwhile, Mango was slightly taken aback by Madam Tang's decision. If it was in the past, she might still be softhearted. However, after the incident in the cold storage and Nathaniel's concern for her, Mango decided that she wouldn't be kind to anyone else anymore.
"Madam Tang, I remember that Nathaniel gave the Tang family a chance. I also remember that when I left the United States, Nathaniel said that it was to repay the Tang family's kindness for taking care of me and our children. From then on, we didn't owe each other anything anymore. Since that's the case, Abyss breached the promise and he did such a cruel thing to me. Therefore, what rights do you have to beg for forgiveness? There's always a limit to our kindness and sympathy, and we will never forgive those who have hurt us. If it was you, would you do have done the same as me?"
Madam Tang was at a loss for words when she heard it. However, she was still not willing to give up.
"Mango, I know that it was Abyss' fault. As I said, you guys can kill him and let go of the Tang Family..."
"Abyss was the representative of the Tang family and their pride before this incident. Since you've always been proud of him, you shouldn't have given him up this time. Don't you guys have to support each other? Otherwise, aren't you afraid that he will be hurt by this? As for the matter about Tang family, I'm sorry, but I can't do anything about it."
Mango left immediately after she said that.
Madam Tang was unconvinced and an evil expression smeared across her face. Just as Mango was about to walk into the elevator, she suddenly stretched her legs out and threatened in a low voice, "If you don't let the Tang family off, I won't let you go. Try me if you dare."
"Are you threatening me?"
Mango smiled and casually took out her phone. Suddenly, everything that happened just now was replaying on the screen.
Upon seeing this, Madam Tang's face immediately took on a ghastly expression.
"Why the hell are you so vicious?"
"I just want to protect myself, I'm sorry. There are too many wicked people like you. Madam Tang, if you continue to harass me, I will broadcast this video to the public and I don't know what will happen by then."
After Mango finished speaking, she asked Haniya to handle Madam Tang. Soon, the elevator doors were closed.
Madam Tang was so furious that her entire body was trembling in rage. She never imagined that Mango, who used to look soft and weak, would be so heartless.
"Mango Shen, just you wait!"
She shouted out angrily, but sadly, Mango couldn't hear a word she said.
Haniya understood a few things from the conversation between Mango and Madam Tang. After the elevator doors were closed, she looked at Mango but did not ask anything. Instead, she wrapped a blanket around Mango.
"Aren't you curious?"
Mango asked in a bland tone.
Haniya shook her head and said, "Although I am very curious, this has nothing to do with me. My job is to take good care of you and prevent people with bad intentions from approaching you. Other than that, I shouldn't be involved in anything."
Mango was very satisfied with Haniya's answer.
She smiled and whispered, "Do you like Desmond?"
Haniya was stunned and her face flushed red subconsciously.
"Nope."
"Don't hide it from me. I am also a woman. I can see it in your eyes. When Desmond appeared, your eyes were shining. I can't be wrong about that."
Mango teased Haniya, which made her feel a little embarrassed.
"Madam, I..."
"Give him some time. Marissa just passed away and she died so miserably. They were childhood sweethearts and he definitely needs some time to calm down."
Mango let out a sigh and gave Haniya an explanation.
Haniya suddenly felt sorry for Desmond.
