Chapter 421
Seeing Nathaniel remained silent, Mango was getting irritated.
"What the hell is going on? Say something!"
Mango grabbed Nathaniel's arm anxiously. She didn't even notice that her fingernails had scratched through Nathaniel's skin.
Nathaniel knew that Mango was worried and he said in a low voice, "They lost them."
"What do you mean?"
Mango was incredulous.
"I thought the Ye family lackeys were all specially trained? How could they lose the trail? It's just a car. How did they manage to lose sight of it?"
Mango was on the verge of fainting.
Rita was her lifeline, and now she was lost. She had thought that the Ye family were all elite footmen and they would have no trouble locating Rita. Even if they couldn't get her back, those men could at least identify her location. But what was this now?
They had lost track of Rita!
Mango could not hold it together any longer.
"There there, Mango."
"It must be the Hans family! They can evade even our staff, so it must be them! They're a family of war veterans after all, so avoiding detection is not difficult for them."
Mango's body trembled in rage.
She was bloodthirsty!
She wanted to charge into the Hans residence right now with a knife in hand to murder everyone in there!
Nathaniel was a little worried when he saw the mania in Mango's eyes.
"Listen to me Mango, we're heading there right now. If it was their doing, I won't let them go either. But you mustn't behave like this, alright? You're scaring me now!"
Nathaniel was frightened.
Mango's murderous look had him terrified.
She looked ready to do anything as long as she could get Rita back.
Mango had been triggered the last time when Zion went missing, and now it was Rita who had been kidnapped. She was far stronger now since she did not even faint, right?
Nathaniel continued to comfort Mango as he observed her every movement.
She eventually calmed down after much coaxing.
That's right.
Mango could not afford to be impulsive now. She had no clue about Rita's condition and it was important to ensure her safety first.
Nathaniel heaved a sigh of relief when he saw Mango calmed down.
They hopped into the car before heading straight to the Hans family.
Terrance was not home, but he hurried over once he heard that Nathaniel and Mango had personally come to the Hans residence. Andrea was already there barring the entrance to the house, and she denied entry to Mango.
"Sis, although you're a member of the Hans family, Grandma has already cut ties with you. What are you doing here today? Grandma is not feeling well and I won't let you disturb her."
Andrea acted as though she was the lady of the house, and this irked Mango to no end.
"Get lost!" This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org: ©.
Mango did not bother with any pleasantries and she was upset with Andrea.
"Watch it, Mango, don't overstep your boundaries. I don't care what a good life you're leading out there, but you cannot just come here and throw your weight around! If you don't leave, I'll inform the media and then you'll be..."
"Go ahead, I'll even give you some numbers to dial and call the media over. Plus, I don't think you'll be able to stand the heat either,"
Mango interjected.
Mango was evidently determined, and her energy swept across like a hurricane, while Andrea was not prepared for her charge. Plus, she had Nathaniel and the strength of the Ye family behind her as a backup.
Andrea felt jealous beyond words, and she was almost green with envy.
How did Mango get so lucky to have the Ye family pledge all their support towards her? Yet, Andrea couldn't get anything despite her scheming and plotting.
Andrea's face darkened.
"I can't stop you if you want to go in, but I'm telling you now that Grandma is ill and she just woke up. She's very weak now. If you know anything about filial kindness, then you should not anger her."
"What if I don't care about being a good granddaughter?"
Andrea was stunned, but she smiled coolly before saying, "Well then, there's nothing I can do either, but I'll have the whole Ocean City know what you did here today."
"Bring it on."
Nathaniel immediately ordered someone to suppress Andrea once she finished speaking.
"You may be the lord of Ocean City, Nathaniel, but you've gone too far now! You're trespassing into private property, I'll have you charged forthat!"
Andrea could not believe Nathaniel was acting so boldly.
He had her held under duress and they nudged into the Hans residence.
It was at this moment that Madam Hans made an appearance.
"Stop! What are you doing? This is the Hans residence!"
Madam Hans looked a little groggy and she was tired, and there was a time when Mango would have softened her heart towards her and left right away. But that time had long since passed, and now all Mango could think of was her daughter, Rita.
She had started acting inappropriately as an elder, and it forced Mango to a point of no return. Now, Madam Hans even dared to threaten her with Rita's life, it was unforgivable!
Her last drop of devotion for Madam Hans had evaporated without a trace.
"Madam Hans, you should know why I'm here."
Mango did not beat around the bush with her.
On the other hand, Madam Hans was shaking with anger at the sight of Mango in her house.
It was all because of Mango, that she was in her current predicament.
If it weren't for Mango, surely Terrance would not have harmed his mother. Surely he would not try to send her away!
Yes, it was Mango's fault for dragging the Hans family into this mess. How dared she stepped foot into the Hans residence again!
"I truly regret not finding you earlier and strangling you to death with my own two hands! Look at the trouble you've caused to the Hans family! You jinxed us!"
Madam Hans raised her hand to hit Mango, but Mango grabbed her wrist first and she tightened her grip.
"I don't know if I'm a jinx, but I know that as long as I'm alive, I have people who I need to protect. Don't make the mistake of thinking that you can do whatever you want now that you're an old hag. I'm warning you, let Rita go peaceably now. Otherwise, there's no telling what I might do. If you dare to harm even a hair on her head, I'll not only destroy you but the entire Hans family along with it. Just try me."
Mango's eyes were icy cold and there was not a trace of warmth in them, as she looked at Madam Hans with such contempt.
She hated every drop of Hans blood in her veins. She hated that she was related to this old hag in front of her. Most of all, she hated that she had failed to protect her daughter.
Madam Hans was shaken by the piercing gaze in Mango's eyes.
These were not the eyes of her granddaughter.
They were eyes filled with hatred and murderous intent!
Madam Hans frowned.
"What the hell are you talking about? Now that you have the Ye family's support, don't think that you can walk in here and bully us. The Hans family will not let you go unchallenged."
"Is that so? Why don't we have a go at it then?"
Mango's grip tightened into a vice, causing Madam Hans to wail in pain.
"Let go of me! Mango, how dare you rebel against your own grandmother! Guards! Are you all blind? Can't you see what she's doing to me?"
Madam Hans was about to get a stroke from her rage.
She could not stand being publicly humiliated by a youngling.
Andrea struggled against her captors and she shouted, "Hit me instead, Mango! Don't you touch grandma! She only just woke up from her coma and she can't take your abuse! I know you're angry over what happened between Nathan and me, but if you care so much, I can guarantee that I'll pretend nothing happened alright? Just don't hurt grandma, she's just trying to help me."
Hearing Andrea's words, Madam Hans's heart ached even more.
"The both of you are deranged. Nathaniel molested Andrea, and she can't even get any recourse for it. How could you not feel sorry for Andrea as her sister? Have you no compassion, Mango? None at all?"
Mango's next bout of anger made her earlier actions seemed trivial.
"Do you have any evidence that Nathanial molested Andrea? Any witnesses? Do you think that you can create something into existence by lying about it? Just because of this alleged incident and my refusal to divorce Nathaniel, you employ your dirty tactics against me? Madam Hans, how dare you sully the good name of the Hans family! Our family members gave their lives on the battlefield in exchange for glory, and it's all gone to waste because of you!"
Mango's words almost caused Madam Hans to get a stroke.
"What are you saying? What exactly have I done wrong? It's you and Nathaniel who are evil, yet now you're turning the table against an old lady like me. You're something, Mango! You twisted the history of the Hans family to fit your narrative! What gives you the right to speak about your ancestors? While they were busy fighting wars on the battlefield, you weren't even born yet!"
Madam Hans could endure anything, but she couldn't tolerate anyone slandering the Hans family's name.
How many people in the Hans family had given their lives for it?
Mango had nothing left to say.
She ordered the men she brought, "Search everywhere, leave no stone unturned!"
"Go ahead, I'd like to see you try!"
Madam Hans broke free from Mango's grasp but lost her balance and she fell to the floor. She too had a look of a thousand furies in her eyes.
"You'll have to walk over my dead body if you want to intrude on our home! I want to see if you're going to murder someone in broad daylight! Is there no more justice in this land?!"
She sat there without caring about how she looked, just like a warrior making a last stand to protect the Hans family's honor.
Andrea narrowed her eyes and she charged forward with all her strength to hug Madam Hans. She sunk to the floor with her before saying, "I vow to die here with you for the sake of the Hans family, Grandma! What else can they do to us?"
