This stupid woman!
Nathaniel cursed in her heart, but his eyes were tearing up.
He held Mango in his arms and said softly, "Alright, Mango, it's over now."
She didn't know if Mango had heard it or not, but her body finally went limp, and she collapsed into Nathaniel's embrace.
Nathaniel held her tightly and smelt the fragrance of her hair, but his eyes turned cruel.
Since Prestin had dared to hurt Mango, he wanted Prestin to die in this room. In fact, he would never ever forgive Prestin!
Then, Nathaniel listened as the men outside left Prestin's room after finding nothing. After that, he put Mango aside gently and went out of the secret chamber. He pulled the curtains harshly so that the infrared rays outside couldn't come in over.
With that, he wouldn't have to care about when the infrared rays would appear. After all, once he closed the curtains, no one could see what he was doing inside the room.
After that, Nathaniel searched the room carefully before finally hacking into Prestin's computer. He copied some of the important documents on Prestin's computer, and he then finally returned to the secret chamber.
On the other hand, Mango had already woken up. When she saw Nathaniel walking in from outside, she asked in a somewhat weak voice, "Where did you go?"
"I went to see what this secret chamber is used for because we've suffered so much because of it. Do you feel okay? Do you want to rest more?"
Now that they had been exposed, Prestin's secret chamber had become the perfect hiding spot for them as no one could discover them easily.
Although Mango was still a little weak, she knew that it was dangerous for them to stay here any longer.
"I'm fine. It's just that my wounds hurt a little. I can still hold on."
A trace of pity flashed through Nathaniel's eyes immediately when he heard this.
"Come on up, I'll take you away."
There was a corridor in the secret chamber, which was quite spacious. However, no one knew where it led to.
Mango had originally wanted to refuse his offer, but when she saw Nathaniel's determined face, she didn't continue to be stubborn anymore. Instead, she climbed up his back immediately.
Right now, Mango felt blessed because he was carrying her once again.
"Haha! I'm going to be the only person that you can carry on your back in the future!"
Mango joked as she said this.
"All right."
On the other hand, Nathaniel's answer was quite straightforward.
The corner of Mango's lips curled up slightly when she heard this. Also, she felt that the injury on her arm was no longer that painful.
"Hmm, I wonder why Prestin built a secret chamber and a long corridor."
"I don't know either."
Nathaniel shook his head when he heard Mango's question.
There were no guards or defensive mechanisms here. It appeared that Prestin had been confident that no one could come in because of the infrared rays. Hence, it was eerily quiet here.
Meanwhile, Mango felt that this place was dangerous.
She whispered, "Why don't you put me down? This way, you can react quickly if anything happens."
"Nah, it doesn't matter."
Nathaniel knew that Mango was worried about him, but he felt sorry towards her whenever she saw his pale face.
Suddenly, they heard a faint voice when they had walked about a hundred meters.
Then, Mango immediately gestured for Nathaniel to put her down, and the two of them slowly walked forward.
"Don't cry! If you keep crying, I'll kill you!"
Suddenly, Nathaniel and Mango heard a strict voice coming from the other hand, and they couldn't help but stop in their tracks.
After that, Mango looked inside and realized that there were more than ten women of different nationalities inside. They had been stripped, and they were only in their undergarments. Right now, the guards were treating them inhumanely by chasing them into cages.
When Mango saw this, Mango's eyes darkened.
After all, she had thought that there had to be some sort of secret in these chambers. However, she never thought that Prestin was such a pervert, and he had built his harem here!
Right now, there were only four or five guards around. They were sitting leisurely as they drank some alcohol while playing poker. Thus, it was obvious that they could be so relaxed because they thought that they were safe here.
When Nathaniel saw this, he also frowned slightly.
Suddenly, he realised that he saw a familiar face that was sweeping the floor among the group of women.
The figure had bent her back humbly, but she was too eye-catching.
Suddenly, the broom that the figure was using touched one of the guard's legs. Hence, the guard immediately became furious.
Just when Mango hadn't figured out what to do, Isla suddenly struggled.
"Randy Fang, how dare you go this!"
Randy Fang was the guard's name. When Randy heard that Isla was brave enough to call his full name, he immediately slapped her.
"Heh! How dare you call my name? Do you think still that you're the matriarch of the Ye family? Hah, you lived a luxurious life all this while, so it seems that you've forgotten about your real identity! If my grandfather never slept with your mother, who was a prostitute, frequently in the bar, you wouldn't have even been born! You're an illegitimate child, and no one will recognise you! The king and Prince Prestin allowed you to go to Z Country to provide us with information, and they even allowed you to live such a blissful life there! However, how did you repay them? You couldn't even win over the heard of the Ye family, and the people of Z Country even found out all our spies and sent them away! Urgh! Do you know how much trouble you've caused for the king right now?"
"After such a big mistake, you never even paid for your crimes for your life! You even came to beg the king to help you, and you almost exposed Prince Prestin and the king's identity! Urgh! Do you know that the Fang family almost got into trouble because of you!"
Randy became angrier as he spoke.
"The king was the one who gave us our surnames personally, and this has never happened in Angolla. In fact, if our grandpa didn't manage to protect the country back then, we wouldn't have the honour to have the same surname as the king as well! You're a lowly b*tch who was lucky enough to get this surname, so you should've been grateful, and you should've completed your mission dutifully. However, you didn't even bring glory to our family, and you even caused our family to be wiped out! Grandpa said that he wants you to live a life worse than death, and he wants you to remember your real identity! The Fang family could allow you to live a luxurious life, but we can also let you hellish life as well! Today, you're lucky because I'm giving you the opportunity to service my comrades! Go there and lie there now!"
After saying that, Randy kicked Isla to the ground again.
On the other hand, Isla was trembling, but no one knew whether she was doing that out of anger or embarrassment. However, she had no choice to comply with Randy's orders now. After all, the other guards had surrounded her quickly, and they were pulling at her clothes and pants while letting out perverted laughs.
Suddenly, Mango couldn't stand it anymore.
Even if Isla had made a huge mistake by betraying Z Country, and she was extremely evil, Angolla was still her hometown! Furthermore, Randy had said that she was related to Isla, so how could he be so merciless to her?
Furthermore, Mango knew that Nathaniel would not allow anyone to humiliate the Ye family.
Isla was a sinner who had betrayed her country, and she deserved to die, but she didn't deserve to be embarrassed by these b*stards!
No matter what Isla's former status was, she was still the legal wife of Nathaniel's father, and she was also the matriarch of the Ye family before she had passed away!
Nathaniel could choose to kill Isla himself, or he could allow the law to punish her. However, how could a b*stard like Randy embarrass someone from the Ye family like this?
"Stop it!"
Mango suddenly jumped out as she shouted this.
Isla was immediately startled when she heard this familiar voice. Also, a ray of hope started to appear in her eyes that were previously filled with despair. When she saw Mango standing in front of her, she looked at Mango as if she had seen her saviour.
"Mango? Is that you?"
Isla was not only stunned but also pleasantly surprised by this.
Initially, she had thought that even if she had failed her mission, she could still return to her hometown and unite with her family. After all, she thought that her family would forgive her because she had done so much for them and the country. However, she never thought that she would lead such a miserable life while awaiting her death when she returned!
