"Force you to death? Is there a need for me to do that?"
Mango had no feelings for them anymore, so she would no longer talk to them politely.
"I want the truth. If Thomas's car accident has something to do with Gisella, I don't care what you say! Someone has to pay for it!"
Mango's gaze scared Gisella.
"Mom and Dad, let's go. Don't argue with this madman."
Gisella dragged her parents away.
Rainie looked at Mango and patted her shoulder lightly while saying, "It's not worth it. Don't hurt yourself for someone who won't cherish you."
"I know, I just think it's ironic. How do you know that Nathan gave them ten million? What happened when I was not here?"
Mango looked at Rainie and wanted an answer.
Rainie tucked her long hair behind her ear and said with a smile, "Don't you feel tired when you want to know the truth behind everything?"
"I have the right to know. I also want to know what position they once placed me in."
Hearing Mango's words, Rainie sighed and said, "After Gisella was taken away by Kolton, they begged Nathaniel to exchange you for Gisella."
"I know about this. Did something else happen after that?"
"Yes."
Rainie sighed softly and said, "Ah...when Kolton was first caught, Gisella actually went home. But at that time, after the news came that Dillon didn't want her as a pupil, Mrs. Shen went to Nathaniel's company to cause trouble."
"What? Why didn't I know about this?"
Mango was a little surprised.
Rainie smiled and said, "Nathaniel suppressed the media. Mrs. Shen forced you with her life to go and beg for Dillon to accept Gisella. But at that time, you were taken away by Kolton. No one knew whether you were alive, but Mrs. Shen didn't care. Nathaniel said that your life is in danger now, and he'll only talk about it when you come back. But Mrs. Shen insisted that Nathaniel force Dillon accept Giselle. If not, she would kill herself at the gates of HY Group. Hah! She said that she wanted you to blame Nathaniel your entire life!"
"What? How could she do this?"
When Mango thought of how Nathaniel had been forced by Mrs. Shen like this, she felt very
uncomfortable.
"That's not all. Mr. Shen spread rumours everywhere that you were ungrateful and used your power to suppress Gisella, and he said that you never gave them a way out. Nathaniel used the group's public relations to deal with this matter. But he was afraid that you would be sad after hearing this, so he gave them ten million directly. He gave them a month to leave Ocean City. They're not allowed to come back and trouble you their entire life!"
Hearing Rainie's words, Mango felt confused.
She used to treat them so well, but now, they could be so shameless and do everything for their biological daughter. Hence, why would they care about the 20 years of relationship they had with Mango?
Mango was upset, but she also understood what she should do in the future.
"I see. Thank you for telling me this."
"We're friends. It's nothing."
Rainie waved her hand.
Mango looked at her and said in a low voice, "You need the money now, why don't I..."
"Two hundred thousand dollars is enough. It's enough for me to find work and feed them. Don't think too much about it. I am your best friend.
Don't worry, I won't embarrass you. One day, I will stand by you, and everyone will admire us."
Rainie's confidence touched Mango.
She was always so strong, and her stubbornness and persistence could not be crushed even if the sky fell.
"Work hard. I'm waiting for that day."
"All right."
The two looked at each other and smiled.
Rainie left the hospital.
It was drizzling outside, and the weather was cold.
She looked around and found that she was completely alone. In the future, she had to take care of three disabled people. This would not be an easy life, but she was willing to work hard.
She couldn't let go of her father, brother or Thomas. Because of that, she had to go on.
She believed that she would see a rainbow after the storm.
Rainie took a deep breath and was reluctant to take a taxi. She walked on the road alone in the light drizzle.
She kept looking for jobs, but it didn't go well.
She was spending a lot of money right now. It was impossible for her to find a job that could cover her expanses.
What should she do?
Did she really need to work at clubs?
No!
Rainie did not allow herself to do that, nor could she do it.
Thomas's beloved girl had to be a woman who kept her chastity. She couldn't smear Thomas's reputation.
Rainie wiped her face and saw that there were a group of actors acting not far away. Her eyes suddenly narrowed.
It would be difficult to work in the entertainment industry, but if she became successful, she could pay for her father, brother, and Thomas's medical expenses.
Rainie seemed to have found a direction.
She walked quickly toward the group of actors.
"Excuse me, do you still need actors?"
Rainie's voice was not loud, but it was elegant, and people couldn't help being attracted to her.
The director looked at Rainie and was immediately attracted by her determined gaze.
"Are you here to work?"
"Yes."
Rainie had never done this job, but now she had to do it.
The director waved his hand.
"Come here. We need a corpse now, but the shoot will last quite long, so you might need to lie in the rain for half an hour. Can you do that?"
"I can!"
Rainie knew that the rain at this time was cold, and she would freeze in half an hour or even catch a cold. But did she have any other choice?
