At that time, she had been trafficked abroad. She was not familiar with the place at all and was imprisoned. However, Merle saved her and gave her warmth while taking good care of her.
He treated her better than how a friend would.
Perhaps they would have been best friends now if Merle hadn't betrayed her. Nevertheless, they weren't fated and Merle was not entirely the one to blame.
Isla adopted him since he was a child and raised him, so she was his teacher and mother.
He had no choice.
Later, Merle became like this for Mango, so there was no way she could complain or hold a grudge against him.
Mango thought through many things in just a few steps.
Meanwhile, Merle felt a little excited when he saw Mango walk over.
"Mistress, I..."
"Does your leg feel better?"
There was a trace of care in Mango's voice and Merle's eyes were filled with tears.
When they attacked Isla last time, he heard Mango say that she had forgiven him. However, Merle felt that it was not true and he was still afraid that Mango would treat him coldly. Now, he did not expect that Mango would actually speak to him.
"I feel much better and it doesn't hurt much anymore."
However, Merle's words made Mango frown.
"It's not a good sign if you don't feel any pain. I will ask someone to examine your situation later and see if there's any possibility for you to recover."
Mango said in a soft voice.
At that moment, Merle bit his lower lip as he almost cried.
"It's okay... I'm fine."
"How are you fine? You're not married yet, so how are you going to find a girlfriend in this state? I remember how gentle and attractive you looked when you were in the United States. So, you must take care of your appearance no matter what."
Suddenly, Merle sobbed after hearing Mango's words.
"All right..."
"Find yourself a place to rest. I need to settle some things now, but we can talk later."
Mango patted Merle's shoulder before asking
Thomas, "Which room is Sisi in?" "406."
Then, Mango frowned slightly.
They walked straight to the elevator and went up to the fourth floor.
The door of the room seemed ordinary. Sisi must have booked a regular room as she probably didn't want to attract others' attention.
This hotel was not a five- star hotel and its standard was just borderline.
Shine.
It was surprising that Sisi had the guts to give herself an alias.
Mango's eyes became colder as she walked over and knocked on the door.
"Who is it?"
Sisi's familar voice came from inside.
Mango had the slightest doubt whether Shine was really Sisi, but she was absolutely sure at this moment.
Then, a hint of unwelcomingness flashed across her eyes as she said in a shrill voice, "Room service! I've brought you something to eat."
Sisi was pregnant and it was obvious from her belly that she carried a baby. At this moment, she was hungry, so she didn't worry too much when she heard Mango's words. Immediately, she walked over to open the door.
However, she subconsciously wanted to close the door when she saw that the person standing at the door was Mango. Nevertheless, Mango kicked the door open in an instant.
"What's wrong? Why are you so surprised to see me here?"
Mango smiled faintly, but it was obvious from her eyes that she wasn't happy.
At that moment, Sisi's heart was pounding.
She had never expected that she would meet Mango here.
Why was Mango here?
Did she know something?
Sisi's brain was running wild, but she smiled and said, "Mango, why are you here?"
Mango snarled as her eyes were glowing with anger.
However, Sisi sat on the bed and said in pain, "No, that's not true! My mother treats me and my brother very well! She's not as you said!" "Are you trying to deceive me or yourself? Sisi, I'm afraid you can't even convince yourself! I'm sure that you know that Laney poisoned Newell! She doesn't even care about the person you love the most... Do you think that a mother would do this to her child?"
Then, Sisi clenched her teeth after hearing Mango's words.
"Whatever it is, you should not do that to her!"
"You're a stubborn girl!"
Mango didn't want to waste her time any further.
Now, Sisi totally believed that Nathaniel was the one who caused Laney's death, so there was no point for Mango to say anything else.
At the thought of this, Mango's gaze at Vanessa turned cold.
"Sisi, you lacked family love since you were young and your brother and I can understand it. So, it doesn't matter how much we have to sacrifice for you to fulfill your dreams. However, the condition is that you should be worthy for us to sacrifice for you. Well, you have betrayed your brother more than once, haven't you? Your brother forgave you and even genuinely treats you as his family, but what have you done? You turned against your brother for the sake of your mother who schemed against him all this while! Are you planning to join hands with Bernard to kill your brother to avenge your mother? Or are you going to kill all your nephews as well?"
"No! I have never thought of that! I never!"
"You did."
At that moment, Mango's face darkened.
"From the moment you accepted Bernard's suggestion and cooperated with him to stand against your brother, you've already harbored the intention. So, don't deny it, Sisi. To be honest, you are more selfish than anyone else as you only cared about your own feelings and your grievances. You feel that everyone in this world should consider your emotions and think for you. I really want to ask you, what's your worth? Who are you to expect everyone to protect you? Have you done anything for others? You said that you loved Newell, but when Laney poisoned Newell, did you do him justice? Or did you already know about this matter since the beginning ?"
"I don't know!"
Sisi suddenly screamed.
"Newell is my love and I can give up everything for him!"
"No! You didn't let go your grudge after your mother died for Newell! You abandoned Newell as you wanted to avenge your mother's death. Yet now you're saying that the person you loved the most is him? Sisi, just admit it that you love yourself the most. You betrayed Nathan for Newell not because of love, but because you depended on him since you were young. If Newell died, you'll have no one to rely on. Later, Newell got Nathan's forgiveness after he came back and you came to know his real identity. Moreover, Nathan owed the Powell family, so you married Newell without hesitation. It's because of this that you've received endless benefits and you got Nathan's protection."
Mango took a deep breath and continued, "Afterwards, you found out that you are Koiton's daughter, so you became even more excited. In your perspective, Nathaniel will protect you for the rest of your life since you're his sister. Later, Laney showed up and you must have felt that you are the happiest person in the world at that time. You rejoiced at the fact that you have chosen Newell. However, when your mother and Newell had a disagreement, you abandoned him to take revenge for your evil mother who died. To put it bluntly, you just wanted to join hands with Bernard to take over all of the Ye family's property from Nathan! You even wanted to ride roughshod over Nathan! In fact, you can choose to be protected by others or to become a powerful person yourself. So, you chose the latter since you have Bernard backing you up! That's because Laney has already paved the way for you!"
"No! That's not true!"
Sisella wanted to refute, but she couldn't say a word.
Mango revealed the ugliest side of Sisi and her evil intentions deep down. Her motives were so inhumane and ruthless that even she was disgusted by herself.
