Chapter 1354
"Princess, I know that you are kind. I will handle this problem, and you can pretend to be oblivious. Also, I will take responsibility if anything happens so that Mr. Ye will not blame you for it. I am your servant, and it is my responsibility to help you whenever you're in distress. I just hope that you will treat my brother well and give him a bright future."
After all, there was no one left in Maya's family except for her younger brother. Hence, she had promised her parents to raise her younger brother. Now that she had such an opportunity, she had to give her brother a promising future, even if it meant risking her life.
Meanwhile, Priscilla looked at Maya with a complicated expression as she felt touched.
She had given up her feelings a long time ago, and Nathaniel was the only person that could brighten up her day. Therefore, even though Maya had served by her side dutifully all these years, she had not paid any attention to Maya. After all, she was a princess, so she expected all her servants to be loyal.
However, she suddenly regarded Maya as her close friend at this moment.
"Don't worry, I will take good care of your brother."
"Thank you, Princess."
Maya immediately beamed, but there was a hint of bitterness in her smile.
After all, the fates of the servants were in their master's hands. They had to either risk their lives or prove their worth so that they could protect their own family.
Then, Priscilla looked at Mango and Nathaniel, who were following behind her and whispered, "Alright, don't let Mango notice it."
"Yes, Your Highness."
Maya quickly answered returned to her position.
On the other hand, Nathaniel was surprised to see how patient Priscilla was. Although it felt a little strange to him, he remained silent.
Thus, they didn't speak on the way and went straight to Henry's room.
Henry looked much better now that Priscilla was caring for him, but he was still unconscious. Furthermore, Mango and Nathaniel were shocked when they saw the scars on his body. "How did this happen?"
Mango was Henry's superior. Hence, she couldn't help but feel worried and furious when she saw Henry's unrecognisable features.
Priscilla glanced at her and thought to herself. Sure enough, Mango was like a seductress who was attracted to every man. Hah! Why was she still concerned about Henry when he already looked like this? Who the hell was she?
At this thought, Priscilla snorted and said directly to Nathaniel, "Mr. Ye, his condition was even more severe when he first came over. The doctor said that it was a relief that he was treated on time, otherwise it would be a tragedy. Also, we managed to save his life by giving him some medicine, but he'll have to wake up on his own."
"Who did it?"
Nathaniel asked even though he already had a guess.
"Bernard. However, Bernard is currently under my father's protection, so I can't do anything to him. Also, my father nagged me for saving Henry as well."
Priscilla had rarely caused trouble, but she had been scolded by Laborn for rescuing Henry. However, Laborn did not pursue the matter as Henry was just a guard.
She was surprised that Bernard did not continue to haggle over this matter either. However, she had already sent people to spy on Bernard.
When Mango heard Priscilla mentioning Bernard's name, her entire aura had changed. The delicate expression she had just now had completely disappeared, and she looked like she was ready to kill someone instead.
"Hah! I think Bernard is digging his grave now!"
Upon hearing this, Priscilla looked at Mango as she was stunned.
After all, she was shocked when she saw Mango's imposing manner.
In fact, she had done a background check on Mango, and she knew that the latter was the head of Dark Night Empire. Alas! It was a pity that Mango was only was b*tch that only knew how to seduce others. However, Priscilla didn't think much about what Mango had said. After all, she felt that Mango had said those words without thinking, so she didn't pay attention to them.
On the other hand, Nathaniel whispered, "Don't worry. We can't expose ourselves now. I'll seek justice for Henry. Priscilla, you have to treat Henry and make sure he recovers, no matter how much it costs." "I'll try my best."
Priscilla didn't dare to make any promises.
After all, Henry was indeed seriously injured. If he wasn't in such a critical situation, Bernard would not have let the matter go so easily.
Meanwhile, Mango looked a little upset.
Henry had come to Angolla for her, but he ended up this way. Mango felt guilty when she thought about how much Henry had endured and sacrificed so much for her.
Of course, Nathaniel could read her mind. He held her hand and said softly, "Alright, don't be upset. Let's go back first. I'm sure Henry will wake up soon."
"Got it"
Right now, Mango couldn't expose her identity, so she decided to go back with Nathaniel. At this moment, she was glad that Priscilla still didn't know what Henry was one of the subordinates. Otherwise, Henry wouldn't have been able to survive this far!
When they were on their way back, Mango was upset. Upon seeing this, Priscilla didn't dare to say anything more when she saw that Nathaniel was silent. However, she was reluctant to leave once they had reached Mango's room.
"Mr. Ye, I have something to talk to you in private. Is that alright?"
"No, my wife is in a bad mood. So, I need to be with her and calm her down."
Nathaniel rejected her request directly.
In fact, Mango was truly upset right now, so he didn't want to cause any trouble for himself.
On the other hand, Priscilla didn't expect Nathaniel to refuse her and couldn't help feeling a little sad.
"I really have something to tell you."
"There's nothing that my wife can't know about. You should know that she is the head of the Dark Night Empire."
Nathaniel replied in a serious tone.
Well, Mango had decided to take it easy on Priscilla when she thought about how the latter was helping her to care for Henry. However, Priscilla was constantly coveting her husband, and she could no longer tolerate this anymore!
Thus, Mango glared at Priscilla before saying indifferently, "Is there something I shouldn't know about? Wait, are you trying to confess your love to my husband?"
"What the..."
"Oh, I'm sorry. Priscilla Fang is one of Angolla's noble princesses. How can she be willing to be someone's mistress? Right? I apologise, I must have misunderstood your intentions. After all, I'm merely a poor commoner, so I just want to watch over my husband. However, I apologise for my rudeness because you've overstepped your boundaries, Princess."
Mango interrupted before Priscilla had the chance to speak up. When she said these words directly, Priscilla didn't know how to argue, and she was immediately embarrassed."
"By the way, what do you want to say to my husband?"
Mango pretended to look at Priscilla innocently as she said these words, so Priscilla was so enraged that she almost fainted out of anger!
This b*tch was indeed shameless!
"Well, I think we can talk about it later."
Then, she turned around and stomped away angrily after finishing her words.
Meanwhile, Mango looked at Priscilla's retreating figure and said coldly, "Heh! How dare she try to snatch my man away from me? Hah! I'll only let you go this time because you saved my husband and my subordinate!"
Nathaniel chuckled upon hearing this.
Previously, Mango had felt devastated when she saw the terrible state that Henry was in. However, she felt better now after she had dealt with Priscilla.
"Well, calm down. Let's think about what kind of exercise we should do later!"
"Huh? I don't want to exercise with you! Nathaniel, don't think about going to my bed tonight!"
Mango flared up immediately, and Nathaniel was pretty taken aback,
"Mango, what are you thinking about? You've misunderstood my words."
Nathaniel was speechless when he heard what she had said.
Mango was stunned for a moment, but she refused to admit it. Instead, she continued, "Why don't you explain yourself clearly? Are you putting the blame on me now?"
"Of course not! It's all my fault!"
Mango was emotionally unstable because she had learnt that Priscilla had feelings for her husband. Therefore, Nathaniel didn't want to aggravate her anymore, and he just wanted to go to bed. However, Mango only snorted and sat down.
Bernard Gaylord, that b*stard, had committed crimes at his home country and fled to Angolla! He was so arrogant that he even hurt her people. Hence, she really wanted to teach him a lesson. Nathaniel obviously felt the same as she did.
Well, he didn't know what Bernard had done to the
Ye family, but the latter definitely must have harmed them some way. Furthermore, he was the son of the man that had been impersonating Augustus This b*stard what ruthless, so Nathaniel could only get revenge for all his victims by killing him!"
Suddenly, Mango said, "Nathaniel, do you think that Augustus will show up once we get rid of Bernard? We don't even know where he is now! Urgh! He's probably hiding in the dark. Maybe he has already returned to Angolla, and the king is protecting him now. After all, the only person he cares about the most is Bernard, his son."
After hearing this, Nathaniel narrowed his eyes and said in a low voice, "You're right. We have to get rid of Bernard, but it not the right time now. Mckenzie has not left yet, so our priority now is to send her away first."
"Do you have any plans?"
"I have already contacted Michael. He knows Tristan, one of the new heirs in Angolla. I heard that they have a good relationship because Michael saved his life. Furthermore, I know that Tristan will enter the palace tomorrow as he will be attending a banquet that the king organised for him. During that time, we will find a chance to meet him and get him to take Mckenzie away."
On the other hand, Mango was surprised when she heard this. She never thought that the influence and connections of the Baxter Alliance would be so vast. After all, they were not only close with Priscilla. They even knew Tristan, a noble that even Laborn valued!
"Does Priscilla know that Tristan is Michael's friend?"
"I don't know. If it weren't for Aunt Mckenzie, Michael wouldn't even tell me about Tristan as he wants to keep the latter safe."
Upon hearing this, Mango knew how important Tristan was to Michael.
"There'll be many people present tomorrow. Furthermore, Laborn knows who we are, so how can we meet Tristan? Besides, we don't even know the way he look. Hence, how are we supposed to contact him
?"
Nathaniel had the same questions as Mango right now. However, Michael had said that Tristan would look for them, so he had asked them to be patient.
Hence, he relayed this message to Mango.
Suddenly, Mango felt that Tristan was a mysterious person, so she really wanted to meet him. Also, it would be great if he and Nathaniel could become good acquaintances. After all, they could deal with Laborn and Bernard easier if they
had his help.
"You don't have to worry about this issue. Also, tell Mckenzie that she should get ready to leave tomorrow. We'll be able to do what we want once she leaves."
Mango became energised immediately after hearing what Nathaniel had said.
He had mentioned that they could do whatever they wanted once Mckenzie had left, so was he trying to say that they could get their revenge?!
