Lebanon's eyes narrowed suddenly.
He had never thought about that.
He knew of Mango's identity by accident from his nanny. However, he had hidden his nanny secretly to protect both her and Mango.
However, could he hide Mango's real identity forever?
Lebanon was agitated at this thought.
Alfred did not dare disturb him anymore seeing him like that. He only got up and poured a cup of water for him before leaving quietly.
Lebanon only reacted when his cigarette burnt his fingertips. However, he was the only one left in the room now.
He narrowed his eyes and took his mobile phone out. Then, he looked for a number and dialled it.
"Help me check if a woman by the name of Gisella had gone into Angolla. Use all of my connections to kill this woman."
Lebanon's eyes were cold that they could frighten anyone off. It was completely different from the warm personality that he portrayed on screen.
Perhaps this was his true colors.
Lebanon had always known what he wanted since young. He just wanted to live a carefree life. In fact, he could care less about the position of the president. Hence, he entered the entertainment industry immediately after he became an adult to protect his life. As a result, his siblings became less alert around him after that.
However, Lebanon was still a prince of Angolla, so he had a secret force working for him. He had never used them to protect his life. However, now that Gisella had hurt Mango, he would not let her go, even if he had to expose his power.
Gisella was so happy, and she didn't know that someone had targeted her.
"Bernard, are you sure you don't want to stay with me?"
Gisella hugged Bernard's arm and asked with a pitiful voice.
Bernard sighed and said, "My business is in the country, and I don't really have many businesses overseas. Plus, we're not sure of Mango's condition now too. I still have to go back and see."
"Are you hiding something away from me? Is my godfather's career really ruined?"
Gisella's godfather was Kolton.
After Kolton was caught, he was currently locked up in jail to await his sentence, and the officers confiscated his business.
However, Bernard was Koiton's favourite godson. Hence, she thought that Kolton must have left something for him as he could run away scot-free.
Bernard narrowed his eyes and said, "Godfather's business and mine are different. I also hope that he still has business outside. However, it's just like what you saw. I was too busy, so I didn't manage to help Godfather get back what he lost. There's 5 hundred million inside this card. You can use it first. Call me if you need anything. I've already sent some people for you. You can stay here for some time, and I'll bring you back after it's not so dangerous in the country."
"But I'm a little worried about my parents!"
Gisella had a feeling that Bernard was hiding something away from her, but she couldn't prove it. Bernard's attitude towards her was exceptionally different, especially after she had spent some time in prison.
She felt that Bernard's attitude towards her had changed even though he still cared about her and obeyed all of her requests.
This was a woman's intuition!
Bernard did not really like the way Gisella looked at him now. However, he still said gently, "You can rest assured. I'll arrange for them to go overseas and find you, and I will not let anything happen to them. Plus, Mango still owes your parents for raising her. She will not really do anything to them."
"I hope so..."
Gisella nodded.
She really wished that Bernard could accompany her in this foreign land. After all, everything was unfamiliar, and she did not know who was in power here. However, Bernard seemed to be a little impatient.
"Call me if anything happens. I'll go first. Stay here and don't make any trouble, okay?"
"You can't settle it here?"
Gisella asked.
Bernard nodded quickly and said, "Yes. This is Angolla, a country that most of the other countries want to build a connection with. If not, do you think I can set up my business here? Luckily, I could send you here because I have some business contacts here. Also, it's a good place as Nathaniel doesn't have authority here, so I think you'll be safe here."
Gisella felt a little relieved as she heard Bernard's words.
"Don't forget me after you go back."
"I won't."
Bernard turned and left after saying that.
Gisella looked at the two rooms in front of her, and she felt a little uncomfortable.
However, Bernard had been very determined. She did not dare to argue with him because she would be doomed in this unfamiliar land if Bernard really did not care about her anymore.
Fortunately, Bernard had given her a card.
Gisella tidied herself up and went out to withdraw some money. After exchanging it for some local currency, she bought some necessities before returning to the condominium.
She ate some food and went to sleep when night came.
In her dream, someone was grabbing her hair while giving her punches and kicks. There was another person who poured urine into her mouth and forced her to drink it.
She struggled and resisted, but both her fists were not strong enough to defeat four hands. It was not long after she got stepped under their foot.
"You coward, how dare you fight with me? Why did you offend someone more powerful than you? Gisella, you should suffer until your death!"
"No! I don't want it!"
Gisella sat up instantly, and she was sweating.
The wind blew in through the window, and she got chills from it.
Gisella quickly turned on the bed lamp. She couldn't adapt to her surroundings as she was in an unfamiliar land.
It took her quite some time to recall where she was. Then, the hatred in her heart grew steadily.
Mango and Nathaniel!
It was their fault!
