"It doesn't matter what had happened. Just tell me where I can see her."
Mango turned hostile.
However, Nathaniel went silent.
"Hey, can you say something?"
The more Nathaniel remained silent, the more disparaging Mango became.
Thinking of the death of the woman, she could not help but tremble.
"A female corpse was found here. She was thrown into the sea. Do you know what I saw?"
"Mango, come back to Ocean City if you're afraid. I'll send a helicopter to pick you up."
Nathaniel finally spoke.
Mango's heart ached inexplicably.
"Did you do it?"
"No, it wasn't me."
Nathaniel replied faintly.
Well, he wasn't the one who had killed her personally.
He was not lying.
Mango stayed silent for a long time while holding her phone. They could only hear each other breathing.
She did not know what to say. In the end, she only said, "I'll hang up first. I'm a bit sleepy, so I'm going back to sleep."
After that, she hung up the phone.
However, Mango felt cold.
She knew exactly what kind of person Nathaniel was. Nathaniel would not cheat on her because of another woman. If she had not seen the corpse, Mango probably would not have thought too much. However, she could not help thinking about it now.
Mango did not know when and how she returned home. She kept thinking about what had happened during these times.
Mango suddenly realized that Nathaniel was hiding something.
What did he want to cover up?
If that woman was only seducing him, there was no need for him to hide it. However, since he had done so, did it mean Nathaniel had a secret with the woman that he didn't want her to know?
Mango had a splitting headache.
So, she decided to empty her thoughts and laid on the bed to sleep.
In her dream, there was always a woman, who had blood covering her body, chasing after her. She was so scared that she screamed and woke up. Then, she could not go back to sleep anymore.
It was still dark outside.
Mango did not feel like sleeping at all.
Rainie was not there either. She could not help but feel lonely and cold.
Mango got up and began to prepare for the film and television company.
Now that the registration funds were not enough, she still needed to find a way to solve this. Plus, she needed to look out for a suitable place for the company. She could not start a company at home, could she?
Mango took out her phone and looked at a website that rented out properties. She surveyed each property one by one. Before she knew it, the sun had risen.
The news about the female corpse spread like wildfire.
Mango felt her heart tighten again. She immediately left the rental house and went to a bustling area to look for more properties.
However, she could not find a suitable one.
It was almost noon, and Mango felt a little tired. She found a snack shop to sit down. Then, she ordered a set of dumplings as she saw Emberly coming over.
"What a coincidence to see you here."
Emberly sat down and ordered a bowl of dumplings too.
Mango was surprised.
"Why are you here?"
"Urgh... I was too lazy to go to work today, so I happened to meet you when I came out for a walk.
I saw you coming here to eat, so I thought that maybe you could buy me a meal today! Haha!"
Emberly said with a smile.
Mango smiled, "Okay, it's just a bowl of dumplings. I can afford it."
"Alright, I'll take that as your approval."
The two chatted happily with each other as they started to eat.
The food of this roadside stall was delicious.
Mango had not been eating much in the past month, but she managed to eat two bowls of dumplings here.
"Haha! I think that you will visit this store again in the future. You are definitely enjoying it!"
"Well, the food is tasty, after all."
Mango concluded.
"What are you doing around here?"
Emberly wiped her mouth and asked.
Mango sighed and said, "I'm looking for a house to start my film and television company. How do I start a company without having a proper location to do so?"
"Do you have enough funds to register your company?"
Mango paused.
"How did you know about that?"
"Don't forget that I was the one who introduced Mr. Whatt to you. How can I not know how much the registration fund is? How much do you need?"
Mango sighed upon Emberly's words.
"There's still eight million to go."
"Here you go."
Emberly handed her bank card to Mango.
Mango was completely shocked.
"No... you've already given me some money before!"
"Let me be an investor of your company, then. My initial investment was two million dollars, and now I'll add eight million dollars, so we both have equal ownership to the shares of your company."
Emberly then smiled.
Mango felt warm instantly.
"I'm... I'm a bit embarrassed."
