Nathaniel was a little surprised that Madam Hans did not refute him. However, because of this very reason, Nathaniel became even more cautious.
"Madam Hans, you can just be straighforward with me. It really does not look like the way the Hans family do things."
Nathaniel respected the Hans family, besides, he felt that they would never do such an unethical thing.
This sentence made Madam Hans a little shameful.
Her face turned red. She sighed and said, "What dignity was left for the Hans family now? If it wasn't for the desperate situation, I, as an old lady, wouldn't have been so shameless to do this. Terrance doesn't know anything about this matter. It's all my idea. I hope Mr. Ye won't get Terrance involved. He is the only heir left in the Hans family."
When speaking of this, Madam Hans sighed with emotion.
Nathaniel also felt pity when he heard this.
"Madam Hans, please go ahead."
Madam Hans took a deep breath and said in a low voice, "In fact, the Hans family wasn't after you. It just happened to be this way."
"What happened?"
Nathaniel could not figure it out. The Ye family and the Hans family had never been in contact with each other for a long time. Although they all contributed to the country, the Hans family was covering a different area than his, and there was also no contact after he retired from the army. Nathaniel really didn't know what would get him involved with the Hans family.
Madam Hans whispered, "I remember that Mr. Ye had a wife five years ago, right?"
"Yes."
Nathaniel was not surprised by Madam Hans's question. After all, everyone knew that Nathaniel's wife was going to elope with someone, and she ended up dying in the big fire. That incident has provoked much discusion back then, so everyone in Ocean City knew about it.
Madam Hans sighed and said, "Did Mr. Ye find the body of your wife?"
"Madam Hans, what does this thing have to do with the Hans family?"
Nathaniel frowned slightly. It was obvious that he did not want to talk about this matter.
Madam Hans took out a photo from her pocket and handed it to Nathaniel. She whispered, "Do you know the man on it?"
Nathaniel frowned slightly.
Of course, he knew the person on the picture!
That was his bodyguard, the bodyguard who disappeared with Mango five years ago.
"This was the bodyguard of our family. But five years ago, he disappeared with my wife. They said that he died in the fire."
"He didn't die in the fire, but disappeared."
Madam Hans looked at Nathaniel and said word by word, "This is the child of our Hans family, he was the child of my elder son. He broke up with his girlfriend because as the elder son, he needed to join the army. But he didn't expect that the girlfriend was pregnant and she didn't tell him. She died after giving birth to the child. The child was sent to an orphanage and he grew up there. Later, you took him away and he became the bodyguard of your family. Originally, I didn't know the existence of such a child in the Hans family. But five years ago, he sent me a letter and told me that he was the child of our Hans family and he wanted to know about everything from me. I was very excited at that time, and I was planning on ask him out sometime and to just see him. Unfortunately, he was sent out by you to protect your wife and he ended up missing in that big fire."
When speaking of this, Madam Hans was panting more or less.
Nathaniel was very shocked. He never expected the child he chose from the orphanage was actually related to the Hans family.
He quickly poured a glass of water for Madam Hans and handed it to her.
Madam Hans took a sip of water to ease her excitement.
Nathaniel could naturally understand Madam Hans' feelings. The Hans family had very few heirs to begin with, so it was a big deal for the old lady to find her grandson. Unfortunately, he knew nothing about it at that time.
"Madam Hans, I don't understand. Since he disappeared with my wife five years ago, why did you only come to talk about this with me now? And what does this have to do with Katherine? I heard that you went to blackmail her deliberately, and your target was Katherine!"
When speaking of this, Nathaniel was very puzzled. He didn't mean to be hard on her, he just wanted to figure it out.
Madam Hans sighed and said, "After the child disappeared, I thought he died in the fire with your wife. To my surprise, I received a letter not long

ago.
As she was talking, Madam Hans took out the letter and handed it to Nathaniel.
Nathaniel froze when he saw the handwriting.
He was simply too familiar with the handwriting!
It belonged to the bodyguard!
He was the one who taught him how to write this character!
The letter wrote that he was still alive, but it was inconvenient for him to come out now because someone had threatened his safety. He hoped that Madam Hans can help him get rid of this threat.
Katherine was the so-called threat mentioned on it!
