"I don't know, but be ready and get dressed, just in case."
After all, this was not Nathaniel's territory. Not long ago, Magnolia had caused such a huge fuss in Angolla. Who knew if it would cause a butterfly effect?
Mango woke up immediately.
The two of them quickly got dressed.
Thomas knocked on the door from the outside.
"Mr. Ye."
"Come in."
Nathaniel's voice was deep as he spoke.
Thomas pushed the door open and entered. Seeing that Mango and Nathaniel were dressed neatly, he said, "Lexis Fang from Angolla is coming over here. He seems to be looking for some rioter. Although this town doesn't belong to Angolla, it's within the border line of the country. Even if Lexis wants to investigate someone, we can't stop him. Britton is asking if you guys want to leave? If you want, he'll send you right away."
Mango was still not in the mood to interact with people from Angolla. When she heard Thomas's words, she quickly said, "Let's leave. After all, this isn't our territory. If something really happens here, it'll be hard to explain anything."
"All right."
Nathaniel had no objections to Mango's idea.
Thomas quickly went to arrange it.
"You can't even enjoy this Christmas."
Nathaniel was depressed.
He had originally intended to have a good time with Mango, but who knew that there were so many things happening?
Mango smiled, "No, I think this is the happiest Christmas I've ever experienced for so many years."
"Really? You're not lying, are you?"
There was excitement in Nathaniel's eyes.
Mango felt that this man was simply too cute and straightforward.
He used to focus on work, so he usually did not celebrate Christmas with Mango. After getting married for eight years, it was the first time for Mango to have the feeling of first love.
Therefore, it was not bad to experience some things in life. At least they could take control of the direction in their life, right?
"It's true!"
Mango wrapped her arms around Nathaniel's neck and kissed him on his mouth.
Nathaniel suddenly tightened his arm and enveloped her in his arms. He said in a hoarse voice, "I asked Noah yesterday and he told me that I'll be fully recovered in these three days. I hope you will continue to flirt with me like this at that time."
Mango was astounded.
Huh?
So fast?
Seeing that Nathaniel's eyes were full of passion, Mango panicked.
"No, no, no... I think we can discuss about it."
"Uh-huh."
Nathaniel's tone made Mango shiver in fear.
Thomas's voice came from outside again.
"Mr. and Mrs. Ye, Lexis has surrounded the entire town. We can't get out of here yet."
Nathaniel's eyes went brooding.
Lexis was really annoying.
Mango said in a deep voice, "I've asked Magnolia for help. As long as we want to leave, I don't believe that he will be able to trap us.
Magnolia has planned for so many years, so she naturally has a special way for us to leave."
Nathaniel paused for a moment before asking, "You got in touch with Magnolia?"
"We've cooperated once. To be exact, the explosion in Lexis's arsenal was done by Magnolia. She helped me to shift Bernard's attention so that Sisi could arrive at the international prison without any mistake."
Mango did not hide anything from Nathaniel.
Although Nathaniel had guessed that this matter had something to do with Magnolia, he did not expect Mango to come up with this idea. However, he could just allow Mango to do whatever she wanted.
"All right."
Nathaniel nodded.
Mango once again called Magnolia.
Magnolia picked up her call and said immediately, "I've already sent someone to pick you up. Don't worry. You'll be fine."
"Thank you."
After Mango hung up the phone, Nathaniel ordered his people to scatter away and only allowed Thomas to follow them.
Merle took the Dark Night Empire to
Baxter Alliance, which was arranged by Nathaniel.
The Baxter Alliance was very powerful here. Even if Lexis wanted to make trouble, he would have to consider it first.
After that, footsteps came from outside.
"Mr. Ye and Mango, Magnolia has sent me to pick you up."
It was Bettany.
Mango had guessed that it would be her, but she still asked.
"Aren't you returning to Ocean City?"
"I came back by plane because of your business. It was Magnolia's idea."
Bettany's words surprised Mango.
It seemed that Bettany was truly Magnolia's most trusted subordinate.
Nathaniel and Mango did not say anything else and walked straight out of the hotel.
As soon as they got in the car and left, they saw a group of people coming towards the hotel.
As they passed by each other, Mango saw the man who was leading them. He looked familiar, especially his eyes, which were exactly the same as Lebanon's.
"Who is that person?"
Mango pointed at the man who had already entered the hotel.
If her guess was correct, this man should be the man Nathaniel threw into the sea on the boat.
Bettany took a look and frowned slightly. She whispered, "It's Lexis."
"Yes, Magnolia's honored guest has to be well taken care of."
Bettany's words instantly made Mango understand that the Mayor was also Magnolia's subordinate.
Magnolia had faked her death for more than ten years. It was likely that her powers had already infiltrated to every possible place. It was not a surprise that there was a mayor here who worked for Magnolia.
When the mayor saw Nathaniel and Mango's extraordinary disposition, he smiled, "Just call me Balden. You're a guest from afar. Come on in."
Nathaniel did not say anything. He nodded and walked in with Mango.
Raiden Hawk arranged a guest room for them and told the butler that they had to fulfill all Nathaniel and Mango's needs.
Mango really felt that she was a distinguished guest.
Bettany did not stay. After sending them off, she left.
Outside, there was still a chaos about arresting the rioters.
Mango looked outside and asked in a deep voice, "Do you think Lebanon would know that we're here?"
"I don't know. Do you want to see him?"
Nathaniel glanced at Mango and no one knew what he was thinking.
Mango shook her head and said, "No, I don't. To be honest, I don't like Angolla. When I think of the fact that Bernard and Gisella have been here before, I feel extremely uneasy."
"Yes, but I don't know if I've got the chance to meet Bernard."
Nathaniel looked outside and said lightly.
Mango was slightly startled.
"What if you guys met?"
"I'll kill him."
Nathaniel's words were full of murderous intent.
Mango was no longer full of compassion like before.
Some people really did not deserve their compassion.
The housekeeper sent them food and drinks, and then left. He showed no intention of prying into their privacy.
Mango and Nathaniel took a shower. In this special time, Nathaniel could not do anything unusual to Mango.
The two leaned on the sofa and watched TV.
The news in Angolla continued to broadcast the tragic scene of the explosion of the arsenal. The armies had already rushed over.
Mango's sharp eyes discovered Lebanon on the TV.
Lebanon was in the crowd, wearing a cap. There was an additional gloominess and cruelty between his eyebrows as compared to when he was in B City.
Mango frowned slightly.
Lebanon was so cold, as if he had changed into another person.
She still remembered seeing him in B City, a graceful and handsome young man. How did he become like this now?
Nathaniel also saw Lebanon and said in a deep voice, "Alfred's death took a toll on him. Maybe Lebanon really didn't want to fight for the power. Unfortunately, he had no choice being born in such a family. If he didn't fight for it, he would die. I heard that Alfred died for Lebanon. It was Lebanon whom Laney wanted to seize. However, Alfred drugged Lebanon and
replaced him for to the appointment. In the end, Alfred died."
Upon hearing Nathaniel's words, Mango's heart suddenly stopped for a moment.
