The man whom Gisella mentioned seemed to have petrified Sutton very much. Although he was furious, still, he lowered his voice because of her words.
This piqued Mango's curiosity even more. Who was the man?
After seeing that Sutton started to restrain himself, Gisella whispered, "Leave now. I'll talk to him later. Even if Mr. Sanchez cuts your livelihood off, I will still make sure that you can survive. No worries."
"I'll leave it to you."
Sutton left quietly. It was a total contrast when he first came with condemnation.
Mango furrowed her brows.
Soon after, Gisella yawned and went back to her room.
Emberly dragged Mango away, and both of them left the courtyard quietly.
Mango heaved a sigh of relief when they were out of the place. She continued, "Do you know who lives here?" "I know, it's the man who sold my house."
Emberly took out a few A4 papers from her pocket and gave an indifferent remark, "This is his information. He should be Gisella's boyfriend for now. Last night at the party, I saw you going against Sutton, so I went to investigate. I found that it was quite interesting, so I took you here when you were free."
Mango took those sheets of paper from Emberly. She was feeling quite irritable.
"Thanks for today.”
"Nah... No need to thank me. You should solve your trouble quickly so that you can start a film and television company to earn money."
Emberly smiled and patted Mango's shoulder before whispering, "Do you need me to send you back?"
"No, I'll walk around by myself."
Mango did not want to go back too soon, so she parted ways with Emberly.
Her mind was in a total mess right now.
Gisella had a boyfriend who seemed to be powerful. But why didn't she tell the Shen family?
Why did she pretend to be in desperate need of money?
Mango found a place to sit and took out the papers.
The man, who was also Gisella's boyfriend, was called Bernard Gaylord. It was said that he was the owner of a consortium with a lot of overseas businesses. Only a few people knew what he did there. He was a 30-year-old unmarried man. They had been together as a couple for now.
Mango saw a postscript added at the back of a paper.
It mentioned that Bernard was brought up and trained by Kolton Ye in an orphanage.
Mango narrowed her eyes.
Gisella had also been living in the orphanage since young, so it was very likely that Bernard was one of Koiton's confidants. However, to Mango's surprise, why was Bernard not affected by Koiton's situation as the latter had lost all his power?
What was his motive?
Was he the person that was supporting Boston?
Did he ruin the Blu family?
Mango tried to link these two incidents together, but she could not figure out anything.
She stayed outside for a long time until Nathaniel called her. His call startled her instantly.
"I thought you only went out for a meal, so why did you take so long?"
Nathaniel couldn't help but felt worried when he saw that Mango hadn't returned yet.
Mango put away the paper and lowered her voice, "Nothing actually, I'm just walking around. Nathan, is Boston still there?”
"Yes, anything else?”
"Well, I'll go there by myself. Ask Ned to pick me up.”
Mango was exhausted, so she took a seat at a cafe nearby.
Nathaniel hung up and sent Ned over.
By the time Ned arrived, Mango had already finished a cup of coffee.
"Mrs. Ye, I'm here."
"Let's go and see Boston.”
Mango paid the bill. Once again, she appeared in front of Boston with Ned.
After a night of cruel ordeal, Boston was much more haggard and pale than before. When he saw Mango again, he begged, "Kill me... please. I would rather die than live like this!”
Looking at Boston's broken legs, Mango did not feel sorry for him at all.
"Hah! Think about Denver. How did he survive?
Boston, it's time to pay your price."
"Mango, you weren't like this before, you...”
"Do you think you know me very well? I can be very kind, but you shouldn't take my kindness for granted. What's more, you treated my important ones as if they were nothing! I will not compromise with this!"
After saying that, Mango looked at Boston and asked, "Do you know Bernard?"
"Sorry, come again?"
"Bernard Gaylord."
Mango repeated.
However, Boston appeared confused. At this point, Mango knew that she would not get an answer.
He had also mentioned that everything he had done was conveyed through that woman. Hence, Mango felt that anyhow she had to ask that woman if she wanted to know more about what happened to Denver, and if all of these had anything to do with Bernard.
"By the way, where is she?"
Ned responded quickly, "Well, she was well-behaved when I caught her, but she managed to escape soon after."
"What does 'managed to escape' mean?"
There were deep furrows in Mango's brows instantly.
Ned shook his head.
"I don't know. I wasn't the one watching her. Anyway, she's a sly one."
"Send someone to this place to see if she's going to seek refuge from this person."
