Chapter 406
"Mr. Ye, did you know that the Hans family and Miss Yu were coming today?"
"What do you have to say about this, Mr. Ye?"
The reporters rushed up to Nathaniel and bombarded him with questions all at once.
Thomas was about to help Nathaniel block them, but before he could do so, Nathaniel had stopped him.
"You should leave. Remember what I told you. Don't let Mango know about this."
"Okay. But will you be alright, Mr. Ye?"
"Of course I am. This is nothing to me. Leave now."
After sending Thomas away, Nathaniel looked at the reporters around him and sneered, "Why is everyone so interested in my personal affairs lately? Were you paid to dig something out?"
This made the reporters shut up. Their faces turned red in embarrassment.
"You are so humorous, Mr. Ye."
"You guys should know whether I was right. And I'm sure all of you are smart enough to know what should be reported. I don't care how much you're paid to do this or why you're doing this. All I know is that I won't let you go easily if I see any news that interferes with my life."
Without another glance, Nathaniel walked into the Ye’s Mansion.
Seeing Nathaniel return, the servant was stunned for a moment before hurrying up to him.
"Sir, why are you back? Didn't Madam say..."
"It's fine."
Nathaniel smiled lightly and then walked into the house.
"Who is here? What's happening today? "
Everyone could hearthat Nathaniel was back.
It wasn't the first time that Madam Hans had seen Nathaniel. She didn't have a good impression on him, but she was here for Andrea today.
Upon Nathaniel’s return, Madam Ye frowned slightly and said, "Didn't you have something to do? Why are you back so soon?"
"Yeah. It was boring, so I left. Why are you here, Madam Hans?"
Nathaniel casually threw his jacket to the servant and then sat down in front of Madam Hans without showing any respect. As for Andrea, he did not even throw a glance her way.
This was Andrea's first visit to the Ye Family's Mansion.
The Hans Residence was already humongous to her. However, the Ye Family’s mansion was so much more luxurious that her jaw dropped when she arrived.
Although the Hans family was a family of military generals and scholars, they were still careful about spending their money. However, the Ye family wasn't the same.
Their mansion was built in a European style, and even the interior design of their mansion was breathtaking.
Everything they used was of top quality, and the furniture they owned was among the most exquisite. Even the mahogany table in front of them was worth millions.
In terms of wealth, the Hans family was nothing compared to the Ye Family.
Andrea always felt that her family in the United States was well off until she saw the Ye Family.
"Now I see why Mango refused to let go of Nathaniel. As long as she became his wife, all of this wealth would go to her."
As soon as Andrea thought of this, she became extremely jealous of Mango.
How could Mango get all of this when she could get nothing at all?
She was only interested in Nathaniel before this, but after coming here, she was more interested in being a part of the Ye Family.
Andrea looked at Nathaniel with passion. When she realized that Nathaniel did not even glance her way, she felt indignant. It looked as if she was about to burst into tears from a grievance.
"Nathan, I..."
"What are you doing here?"
Nathaniel interrupted Andrea before she could finish her sentence. Upon seeing the disgusted look on his face, Madam Hans was furious.
"Don't you know why we are here?"
"I really don’t. Why don’t you tell me about it, Madam Hans?"
Meanwhile, Nathaniel wasn’t bothered by her attitude at all.
Madam Ye didn't mind Nathaniel's attitude too. She knew that this would happen when he returned, and that was why she didn't want him back. However, he should be able to handle these mattersExclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.
since he chose to come home. As a mother, she could only stand by and watch.
Seeing how arrogant Nathaniel was, Madam Hans wished to storm out the room with Andrea so badly. However, Andrea had been holding her hand the entire time with an indignant look.
Seeing the passionate look in Andrea's eyes, Madam Hans's heart ached.
"Nathaniel, be a man and own up for your mistake. You have hurt Andrea and I want you to take responsibility! Besides, she isn't married yet so how could you ruin her like this? She has even lost her reputation because of you! Don't you think you need to be responsible for this?"
Hearing Madam Hans’ words, Madam Ye raised her eyebrows and looked inquiringly at Nathaniel.
With a bitter laugh, Nathaniel looked at Andrea and said, "What did I do to you? Why don't you tell me what you said to your grandma?"
In an instant, Andrea's cheeks blushed in embarrassment.
She then lowered her head to avoid his gaze guiltily.
She wasn’t being shy. She just couldn’t bring herself to look him in the eye.
Actually, Nathaniel did nothing to her. However, he did not save her when she was in trouble too. He was responsible in a way too, right?
She had to gain something from Nathaniel in return for losing her chastity. She would never let herself get taken advantage of.
With her head lowered, Andrea choked, "Nathan, I didn't plan to tell grandma about us. But I had to go to the hospital because it hurts too much, I..."
"Nathaniel, are you even a man? You raped Andrea, but now you’ re shirking all responsibility? She was just a virgin. I can't believe that she was so violently abused and had to be admitted to the hospital! Even though I tried to stop the news from spreading, do you really think that no one will know about this?"
Madam Hans couldn't hold back any longer when she saw Andrea's pleading expression.
Madam Ye's brows furrowed slightly in confusion.
" What! Rape? Nathaniel, what's going on?"
Everyone could hear the displeasure in Madam Ye’s voice..
Nathaniel smiled and said, "Mom, you don't have to get involved in this."
After that, he looked at Andrea and said with a sneer, "Did you say that I raped you? Are you sure it was me?"
"Nathaniel! You've gone too far!"
Madam Hans stood up in anger when she heard Nathaniel's reply. On the other hand, Andrea suddenly cried with grievance. She was in such a sorry state.
Nathaniel couldn' t believe what was happening in front of him. With a wicked grin, he said, "Fine. Since you insist that I'm the one who did it, do you want me to compensate you? According to the fees in the nightclub, it should be 100 thousand dollars. How about I give you another 100 thousand dollars as her meal incentive?"
Just as Nathaniel finished speaking, Madam Hans slammed her hand on the table in anger.
"Nathaniel Ye! What do you mean? Do you think we want your money? Do you think this matter can be solved this way? If you don't take responsibility or give us an explanation by today, well let the whole of Ocean City know what kind of person you are!"
"Madam Hans, I'm a man after all. Are you asking me to marry her just because I took her virginity? Just to remind you, I am married to Mango, your biological granddaughter. However, Andrea is only your adopted granddaughter. Are you asking me to divorce Mango for her?"
Hearing this, Madam Hans didn't know what to say.
"Didn't Mango announce that both of you are divorced?"
"I have not agreed to it. Are you hoping for us to divorce and make me marry Andrea?"
Nathaniel stared coldly at Madam Hans.
By the tone of his voice, Madam Hans could tell that Nathaniel had no intention of divorcing Mango, what more to say marry Andrea.
"Mango has done something disgraceful. Can the Ye Family still accept her?"
"Disgraceful? What's disgraceful about my wife?"
Nathaniel answered coldly.
Madam Hans was too embarrassed to talk about the pictures of Mango that spread, but she sneered, "The whole Ocean City knows about it. Are you going to cover for her? How can the Ye Family tolerate this shameless act? She doesn't want to taint the Ye Family's reputation, that's why she's trying to break off your marriage. I think she's doing the right thing. You should just listen to her and agree to the divorce."
"Well said!"
Nathaniel couldn't help but applaud Madam Hans sarcastically. He then snickered, "Why don't you take charge of the Ye family's matters from now on? Anyway, Mango is still my lawfully wedded wife. I will find out the truth behind the pictures and prove her innocence. On the other hand, don’t you think Andrea was the one in the wrong? She seduced me even when she knew I had a wife."
"Nathan, no matter how much you dislike me, please don't humiliate me. I had no idea how it happened! I swear that I had never planned to seduce you."
After hearing what Nathaniel said, she suddenly burst into tears.
Her shoulders trembled while she sobbed. She cried softly, but it was loud enough for everyone to hear.
Seeing how Nathaniel humiliated Andrea, Madam Hans' chest heaved with anger..
"Madam Ye, do you have anything to say about this?"
"What can I say? Your granddaughter had an affair with my married son. Even though Nathaniel is in the wrong, Andrea is definitely not a victim. Anyway, it's absolutely impossible for my son to divorce his wife and marry Andrea! This is a rule in our family! So I think you should consider what Nathan said. It's just an affair between them. State the amount and we'll compensate you for it as long as it's within our means. Consider us unlucky this time for getting involved with this granddaughter of yours!"
Upon hearing this, Madam Hans almost fainted from anger.
"You guys are going too far!"
