Before the subordinate could finish his words, he was kicked by Kolton.
"Hurry up! I want to get out of here! You're so useless!"
He had lost his temper.
Koiton's lips suddenly curled up while he took a glance at Mango who was unconscious.
He walked to the balcony and dialed a number using his phone.
The call was soon connected. A woman's voice came from the other end.
"Who is this?"
"Queena, Mango is with me."
As soon as Kolton finished speaking, Queena became anxious in an instant.
"Kolton?”
"What a coincidence! I've decided to reach out to you again."
Queena's eyes narrowed again after hearing his words.
"What do you want to do?" "Queena, don't you know what I'm going to do? Oh,
right, I just told your daughter something that you would also interested in it. I have Dennis' body with me Do you want to have a look at it?"
Right after Kolton finished speaking, Queena suddenly became excited.
"You b*stard! What are you trying to say? Over two decades ago, I knew it wasn't Dennis's body, but the test equipment wasn't advanced enough at that time. The DNA sample was blurry, but the results showed that there was an 80% chance that the body belonged to Dennis. I stayed at the border these years to find more news about him. Hah! I never expected you to take him away."
Queena was indeed frustrated. Even after so many years, she still concerned about that incident.
Kolton said coldly, "If it weren't for you pursuing me back then, how could I have fled this place in such a hurry? However, thanks to your hunt, I managed to build up a force outside the country too. So, do you want Dennis's body?"
"I want it!"
"Bring along the things I need to meet me then. Remember, do not call the police or tell Nathaniel and don't bring anyone with you. Otherwise, I don't know what will happen to your daughter. You understand that she is pregnant now. She is the best candidate for my experiment, though."
"How dare you! If you dare to do anything to Mango, I promise you won't get anything."
Queena's voice abruptly raised.
However, Kolton said with a faint smile, "Queena, you're not innocent either. If you were, the things that I want should be in the military right now, right? Since you didn't take it out after many years, you're also a selfish person too, right? In this case, why don't we cooperate together?"
"I won't cooperate with you, and the reason why I didn't hand it over was not for my own sake. It was just a memento left by Dennis for me at that time, and I wanted a memory of him. Kolton, don't force me to do this."
"Hah! Are you sure that I'm the one who's forcing you? Queena, I'll give you an address. It's up to you whether you want to come or not. However, I'm giving you an hour. After that, I don't know what will I do to Mango."
Kolton immediately hung up the call after finishing his words.
Queena's eyes abruptly sank.
She looked upset.
Rita happened to pass by her room. When she felt her unhappiness, she immediately asked, "Grandma, what's wrong? Have you seen my mommy?"
Queena came to her sense and replied with a faint smile, "I'll bring your mommy back later."
"Oh, alright. Grandma, you don't really look well. Are you sick?"
"It's alright. I'm not feeling well today. Can you go and play on your own?"
"Alright."
Rita got up and went to look for Wisdom.
Queena closed her room door.
She pulled out an iron box under her bed and opened it. There was a notebook inside. It belonged to Dennis.
Queena held the notebook tightly and whispered, "Dennis, have I been selfish over these years? I thought it was fine to hand it in and keep this as a souvenir. However, I didn't expect Kolton to be so stubborn. Argh! I should have thought about why he came back even though he was facing such risk. He definitely did not just come back for the genetic data of the Ye Family. However, I thought that Nathaniel would defeat him when they fought. So the things that you left behind would become mine. I won't live long, and I planned to cremate this notebook together with me so that I could discuss it with you in heaven. Unfortunately, I think that I can't wait till then.
She flicked the dust off the notebook and carefully pulled it into her chest.
Queena went to Mango's room.
After so many years, she had failed to fulfil her duty as a mother towards Mango. If it wasn't for this notebook, she would never leave Mango behind. However, she put Mango at risk because of her notebook as well. Queena felt that she owed her daughter too much.
She put away the notebook and changed into a nice set of clothes before going downstairs.
Brantley saw that Queena was going out. He frowned immediately.
"Where are you going?"
"I'm going to look for Mango."
"What? Do you know where she is? I heard from Nathan that he's looking for her too. Don't mess around since you're not in good health now. Listen..."
"I know where Kolton is. Dad, don't worry about me. I am a mother. I can't watch my daughter get into trouble and do nothing."
Queena's words made Brantley slightly upset.
"I'm not asking you to ignore her, but what can you do by going out now? Your body is already weak while Nathaniel is still young. However, even if he went against Kolton, there's a huge possibility that he might lose. Also, if Mango is in his hands, Nathan will definitely save her with his capabilities. Just listen to me. Stay at home and wait for news."
"Kolton wants to meet me."
Queena suddenly said.
