Mango certainly knew about Queena's thoughts, but there were things that wouldn't go as she wished.
She sat directly in front of the dinner table and picked up the chopsticks to have her meal instead.
"Mom, we'll cross that bridge when we come to it. Don't worry, we will find a way to contact them."
"Do you think that Kolton will agree to your conditions? If he lets you contact any outsiders, it will undoubtedly expose his location. I don't think he will accept your offer."
Meanwhile, Queena sat down to eat as well.
Mango was right. Regardless of whether the food was poisonous, they had to eat. Moreover, if Kolton really wanted to do something to them, it would be impossible for them to avoid it.
Seeing that Queena had begun eating, Mango whispered, "Even if he doesn't agree, I have another way to convince him."
"Do you mean the woman in the main hall?"
"Well, her name is Marrisa, and she should be Koiton's favourite woman."
"Huh? Koiton's favourite woman?"
Queena felt that this was ridiculous.
"Kolton is a heartless person. From the way he treats Nathaniel and Sisi, how can a man who doesn't love his own children have a beloved woman? Stop joking about it!"
"Mom, men who don't like children can have a beloved woman too. I have seen how the gaze in Koiton's eyes. When he looked at Marrisa, he thought that she was the only one of her. Also, Marrisa was born with genetic defects. So, do you know what this means?"
Queena was slightly stunned after hearing Mango's words.
"Congenital gene defect? Wasn't that Pryce?"
"Yes, he's Pryce No.1. He said that Nathan and the others were test- tube babies, and they had decided to make three of them to increase the probability of their survival. In the end, we thought that all three of them survived. In fact, only Nathan and Nick managed to survive, whereas Pryce No.2 was made by him using the gene index. It was very likely that Pryce No.1 was deliberately made with genetic defects. After so many years, Pryce No.1 could only live until now, probably because of Marrisa.
Queena slightly furrowed her brows at Mango's
analysis.
"Did you mean that Kolton kept Pryce No.1 merely for research? To treat Marrisa?"
"Otherwise, do you have another explanation? Perhaps all of this wouldn't have happened if it wasn't for Marrisa. The only thing we don't know is when Kolton had met Marrisa."
"You can ask Marrisa later on. If it matches with the timing of Koiton's sudden interest in Yes genetic data, then everything will make sense."
Mango nodded.
"Yes, we should not rush now. I also know that Nathaniel may be looking for us all around the world, but we can only save ourselves now."
Speaking of Nathaniel, Mango kind of missed him.
She took out her mobile and opened the few photos that had Nathaniel in them, and the corners of her mouth slightly raised.
Queena didn't disturb her after looking at her actions and quietly ate her meal.
After they finished eating, someone immediately came forward to clean up for them.
Mango did not stop them as well.
Not long after, someone sent a message saying that Kolton wanted to meet her.
Mango stretched lazily and said, "I'm sleepy and need to take a nap. I won't see him."
Kolton was pissed off as Mango was not aware as she was a hostage.
"If I give her an inch, she'll ask for a mile, llrgh!"
Kolton came to the side chamber angrily.
Mango leaned back to her chair and looked at him in amusement.
"Uncle Kolton, what's the matter?"
Mango greeted him in a friendly way which enraged Kolton.
"Nathaniel would definitely be angry if he heard how you're addressing me."
Koiton's tone was not pleasant.
Mango said faintly, "It's fine. Since you're actually his uncle as well, there's nothing wrong will addressing you this way. However, I reckon that he will probably be angry if I address you as my father. Furthermore, think about it. How will Marrisa feel if she knows that you actually have a son?"
"If you dare utter a single word in front of her, I promise that you, your mother and your father's body will not end up well. In addition, I will bury your children and everyone that you care about together with you!"
Kolton did not look like he was joking.
Mango immediately stopped smiling.
"What? These people are related to you by blood."
"Who cares? All I want is Marrisa alone, but we are not destined to be together. So, I have no choice but to go against the fate!"
"Do you think you are great because you're defying the heavens? Kolton, do you think what you have done to Marrisa proves that you love her? Not at all! You say that you love Marrisa. On the other hand, you and Nanny Zhang created Nathan and his brothers. I would understand if this all was a trap that you set so that you could control the Ye family bur what about Sisi and Sisi's mother? Don't you ever regard yourself as a lovestruck man! You are just a jerk. If you really loved Marrisa, you wouldn't have slept with Sisi's mother and let her give birth to Sisi!"
