Chapter 1315
As night fell, Morgan received a message from the higher-ups. They had agreed to let Maverick and Lilian stay here. However, to ensure confidentiality, Maverick had to participate in all future operations with Morgan and Nathaniel.
Well, Maverick didn't think that such requests were a big deal.
Then, Nathaniel gave Michael a call.
Michael had almost recovered and had now fully taken over the Baxter Alliance's forces. When he knew that Nathaniel wanted him to protect the three children, he immediately sent a helicopter to pick up Wisdom and Rita.
Although Wisdom and Rita requested to stay, Mango and Nathaniel rejected the idea and asked them to take care of themselves at home.
On the other hand, when Michael saw Maverick, he was hostile and even wanted to pick a fight. However, Nathaniel stopped him from doing so.
"He didn't mean to harm you! I know that you are very sad about the previous incident as a few of our comrades had died. Look, I will give you an explanation for this." "Huh? Are you planning to give me an explanation? Nathaniel, what are you trying to say?"
Michael was a little confused when he heard what Nathaniel had said.
Hence, Nathaniel had no choice but to tell Michael about his relationship with Maverick.
Maverick didn't expect Nathaniel to stand up for him, so he came to Michael and said, "Let's settle our resentments after this is over, alright?"
On the other hand, Michael had always admired Maverick. After all, Michael had Nathaniel's support to make it this far. Although he had worked hard, he was nothing compared to Maverick, who built everything on his own. Thus, Michael doubted if he could achieve what Maverick did.
"I'll take your word for it. After everything is over, we'll solve our issues, so you'd better make sure that you stay alive."
That was not a trivial matter as it had lasted for more than thirty years. Although things seemed calm right now, everyone knew the bloodshed that had happened due to this incident. "Alright."
Maverick then nodded and left.
Nathaniel knew Michael well. Although he was part of the Baxter Alliance, he used to be a soldier. Thus, Michael knew how to prioritize the situation.
He patted Michael on the shoulder and said in a low voice, "Get everyone in Baxter Alliance to get ready. A war might be happening soon."
On the other hand, Michael didn't have to think much about this as Baxter Alliance served the country. Hence, he would go wherever he was sent, but he was concerned about Priscilla.
"I think Priscilla should withdraw from this case. After all, she is the princess of Angolla. It would be difficult for her to do this since this matter involves her father."
Michael didn't mean that Priscilla would betray them, and he only thought that she would be in a difficult spot. After all, she would be their enemy as this situation involved her family ties and her country. After hearing this, Nathaniel slightly frowned and then nodded.
"Alright, get Silver Fox to find a way to ask Priscilla to withdraw from this. If possible, we should send her away from here."
Michael understood Nathaniel's orders immediately.
After Mango received the news, she was also making some of her own arrangements.
Once they had started this operation, she and Nathaniel wouldn't know if they could escape unscathed. Thus, she needed to make arrangements for the people she loved and sort out things in advance. Hence, Mango called Clarissa.
Mango did not know much about how her media company was doing, but she had a new idea.
On the other hand, Clarissa was very excited when she received Mango's call.
"Ms. Shen, you finally called us!"
Mango was astonished to hear what Clarissa had said.
"What's wrong? Were you not able to get through to me?"
Well, this shouldn't happen because she had been paying her phone bills regularly.
However, Clarissa quickly said, "No, no! Mr. Ye asked us not to bother you unless we have something important to tell you."
She said these words as if she felt wronged.
Mango immediately smiled after hearing this.
"Heh! I am your boss, so how could you listen to his orders instead?"
However, Mango then recalled that Nathaniel was the one who brought Clarissa to her.
Then, Clarissa quickly said, "Ms. Shen, our media company is doing very well now. We have made a name for ourselves in B City!" That was good news indeed.
After all, Mango's media company had only started operating recently, so it was not easy for them to achieve such a feat in B Country.
On the other hand, Mango did not do much, so she was grateful to Clarissa.
"Clarissa, thank you. From today onwards, I will appoint you as the vice president of the company, and you can call the shots with Rainie in the future. In addition, I have arranged for a lawyer to prepare a transfer agreement, so I will get someone to pass it to Rainie soon. I've divided all my company shares into two portions, so you and Rainie will each take one portion each. From now on, the media company will belong to you, Rainie and Emberly."
Clarissa was stunned by Mango's decision.
"Ms. Shen, what do you mean? Are you trying to tell me that I'm not doing a good job? I don't want the shares. I..."
"Clarissa, listen to me. You have contributed the most to this company, and this is what you deserve. I established this company for Rainie, so there's nothing wrong with giving it to her now. As you know, this company doesn't make much difference to me. However, I know how much you have sacrificed for this company. If it weren't for me, you probably wouldn't even stay in this small company as a director and overworked yourself this much. So, I believe that it's the right choice to pass this company to you."
After hearing what Mango had said, Clarissa was moved.
Well, Mango was telling the truth.
Previously, Clarissa used to work for Nathaniel. When she was first sent to help Mango, she was indeed unhappy with the arrangement. As an experienced manager, she thought managing a start-up would be wasting her talents.
But after she went to the media company, Mango gave her full control, as if she had handed over the whole company to her.
Although she held a higher position in Nathaniel's company and managed more people, she still worked for someone else. However, in Mango's company, she felt that she had started her own business. Even though Mango was the boss, Clarissa made most of the decisions. Furthermore, Mango gave her complete authority.
Thus, Clarissa began to see things differently as she watched the company grow under her leadership. In fact, she even had an attachment to the company. That was why she was so eager to report to Mango when the company achieved success.
After this experience, she was even sure of her own abilities.
However, she never imagined that Mango would hand the company to her.
Clarissa could not express what she felt, so she could only say gratefully, "Thank you, Ms. Shen! I will not disappoint you!"
"I believe in you, Clarissa. I wish you and the company the best too."
After Mango hung up the call with Clarissa, she thought of calling Rainie. However, in the end, she couldn't bring herself to dial this number.
What should she say?
Should she tell Rainie that she going to war?
Or tell her to take care of herself?
With Thomas by her side, Mango believed that Rainie would lead a happy life. On the other hand, if she made this call, she could possibly ruin Rainie's peaceful life.
After all, Rainie would drop everything and come to look for Mango. In fact, Rainie could even decide to risk her life together with Mango!
However, that was not what Mango wanted.
So, Mango held back the yearning in her heart and decided not to make this call.
When she was not around, Thomas would definitely treat her well.
At this thought, Mango then gave Walter and Deborah a video call.
After Deborah had a miscarriage, Walter took good care of her. Although she was fatter now, she looked blissful and happy
"Wow, look who finally remembered to call us!"
Deborah was energetic and even teased Mango. This made Mango feel much more at ease.
She was worried that the miscarriage would affect Deborah mentally, but the latter seemed to have recovered from it.
"Yeah, we haven't contacted each other for a long time. How are you?"
Walter missed Mango too, but when he saw how Mango was chatting happily with Deborah, he smiled and said, "I'll go and check on the stew." "Go ahead."
Deborah chased Walter away in disdain.
Walter used to be an infamous playboy, so who would've thought that he could become such a dedicated husband now? He was even cooking for
his lover!
At this thought, Mango smiled ambiguously.
"Hey, are you here to show off your affections?"
Deborah replied, "Oh, please! You and your husband are worse!"
Mango was immediately in a good mood after hearing what Deborah had said.
After all, Deborah could always cheer her up easily.
This was probably because she had a friendly personality, so Mango liked her a lot.
"How's your body? Have you recovered?"
A trace of sadness flashed across Deborah's eyes when she heard this question, but it disappeared in the blink of an eye.
"I'm much better now. The doctor said that it didn't affect my body much because I was still in the early stages of my pregnancy. As long as I take care of my body, I won't have any problems conceiving another child in the future.
"Alas! It must have been difficult for you."
Mango knew that Walter and Deborah liked this child, but things didn't happen the way they wanted.
"It's okay. Oh, well. It's a good thing that we discovered it early. It would be a tragedy if we discovered it after the child was born. Although Walter and I are sad, we are still rational. Don't worry, I'm alright. It's just that Walter is still worried and wants to make sure that I fully recover."
Deborah had a blissful smile on her face as she said these words.
On the other hand, Mango was happy when she saw this.
"Then take good care of yourself."
"Of course, I will cherish my body! By the way, I heard that you went on a trip. How is it? Is the scenery nice? Walter and I haven't completed our honeymoon trip. Besides, he said that we can only travel once my body is healthier."
Mango was slightly taken aback when she heard Deborah's words. She smiled and replied, "This place is pretty nice, and the temperature is not too cold too. You guys can consider coming here."
"Huh? It sounds like you are planning to leave the place already! Oh, well, I thought of going over to join you guys. Tell me, where do you plan to go next? Maybe Walter and I could fly over and meet you." Mango was startled when she heard what Deborah had said.
Did both of them want to come over?
She couldn't let that happen!
It was dangerous here now because Atlas had escaped, and no one knew where he was hiding. Thus, Mango was worried that he would harm Walter and Deborah.
