Diago suddenly frowned when he heard Nathaniel asking for Mango.
"Hah! What's your relationship with that b*tch?"
Nathaniel immediately slapped him as soon as Diago had just finished his words.
Diago was stunned by the slap.
Just as Nathaniel was enquiring for Mango, someone secretly came to the place Mango was locked up.
Mango finally heard someone coming in after such a long time.
"What exactly are you guys up to? Just get it done with it already. Heh. Do you want to kill me or torture me?"
Mango was hungry and thirsty, and her voice was a little hoarse.
The person who came in didn't say anything and directly whipped Mango's body.
Mango's voice was muffled as the whip landed on her body.
It was too painful!
Her clothes tore as blood started to seep out of her wounds, and the pungent smell of blood filled the air.
Mango's entire body was twitching.
She couldn't see who was in front of her because she had been blindfolded. However, she guessed that the person had a grudge against her as the other party did not speak.
But who had a grudge against her?
"Who... who are you?"
Mango asked with her body tensed up. However, another lash of the whip landed on her.
Argh! This lash was more powerful than the first one!
Mango felt like she was about to cry, but she refused to do so.
The person who was whipping her enjoyed seeing her in a miserable state!
Therefore, she could not let their wish come true.
Mango's nose was sensitive, and she caught on to a faint smell of purfume.
The smell of this perfume seemed familiar.
Mango's heart thumped.
"Gisella?"
The third whiplash landed on her body as she called this name.
Mango almost fainted this time.
The other party had exerted even more force to make the lash more painful. Obviously, they were trying to take out their anger on her as they detested her!
Mango nearly failed to catch a breath. She had blood stuck in her throat, and it was choking her so much.
"Gisella! You... you are Gisella!"
Mango was very familiar with the smell of Gisella's perfume. Moreover, Gisella was the only one who hated Mango so much to the extent where she wanted to kill her.
Gisella wanted to raise her whip and whip her again when she heard Mango calling out her name. Just at this moment, there were sounds of footsteps coming from the outside.
"Miss, someone is coming. Let's go quickly."
Gisella looked at Mango with extreme anger and said coldly, "I'm going to kill her!"
"It's Nathaniel! Miss, we'll be trapped here if we don't leave now."
The newcomer almost dragged Gisella away.
Mango felt burning pain all over her body, and her body couldn't help twitching.
She swore to pay back Gisella for the three whiplashes that she had got today!
Some noisy footsteps finally came across from the outside.
"Madam should be here."
Mango fainted when she heard Ned's voice.
Nathaniel kicked the door open.
He nearly went crazy when he saw Mango's body soaked in blood.
"Mango!"
He moved forward to untie Mango's legs and hands.
Mango fell directly into his arms lifelessly.
Nathaniel was enraged when the pungent smell of blood filled his nostrils.
He quickly and carefully carried Mango and ran outside.
"Hurry up and drive to the hospital!"
Ned was also stunned by the scene in front of him.
Lebanon felt heartbroken as he saw Mango's current state when he rushed here after receiving the news.
"Mango, what..."
"Get lost!"
Nathaniel's eyes were blazing with fury, and he could not control his temper anymore.
Alfred felt a bit wronged for Lebanon. He wanted to say something, but Lebanon stopped him.
With Lebanon's car tailing behind Nathaniel, the group of people went to the hospital.
Nathaniel wanted to follow Mango in when the medical staff pushed her into the operation room. The doctor couldn't stop him, and he gave him sterile clothes to wear.
The doctor was just about to cut off Mango's clothes when Nathaniel went in. However, the blood was stuck together with her clothes, and every movement they made would hurt her tremendously. After all, her body nerves were still sensitive even though she was in an unconscious state.
Nathaniel's really wanted to kill someone when he saw this!
"Be gentler!"
Nathaniel's expression was solemn and frightening, and it was as if his cold gaze was freezing the room. Hence, the doctors and nurses broke out in cold sweat, but they did not dare to touch her anymore.
Emberly rushed over when she heard that Mango had to go through an operation. She frowned slightly when she saw that Nathaniel was inside the operation room, but she quickly swapped shifts with the doctor.
"Let me do it."
Nathaniel's attitude softened a little when he saw that Emberly was the doctor in charge of the operation. However, his eyes never left Mango.
These three whips had caused her flesh to split open! The wound caused by the last whiplash was so deep that they could see her bones!
Nathaniel gritted his teeth so hard that there was a creaking sound.
So what kind of secret was he hiding? Why couldn't he tell Mango the truth?
Rainie was really curious, but she knew that curiosity killed the cat, so she nodded and left the ward.
Emberly walked out of the hospital with thoughts of Mango's injured state filling her mind.
Her attacker had been too ruthless!
Plus, Mango was her good friend. She couldn't stay still when she saw her best friend being bullied, right?
Emberly called Eugene as she thought of this.
"Do me a favour."
This was the first time that Emberly had requested help from Eugene, so he was stunned.
"What do you need?"
"Let's talk when I get back home. I'll be back in half an hour."
"Alright."
Emberly hung the phone. She let a sigh and drove back after that.
Nathaniel held Mango's hands tightly after everyone had left.
Ned knocked on the door and whispered, "Mr. Ye, we've received some additional information."
Nathaniel glanced at Mango before standing up and walking out.
"Tell me about it."
"The person who had whipped Madam wasn't Diago's men."
"What did you say?"
Nathaniel's eyes suddenly narrowed.
Ned quickly said, "Diago was the one that kidnapped Madam, but they only wanted to starve her for three days. After that, they planned to rip her clothes off and take some pictures after she has lost all her strength. Then, they would only take further action after ruining her reputation."
Nathaniel's murderous aura spread out wantonly after he heard what Ned had said.
What a vicious plan!
Nathaniel's eyes were as cold as ice, and he said slowly, "Make sure he gets a taste of his own medicine then."
"Yes sir!"
Ned knew that Nathaniel would not let Diago off, but he added, "The supervision camera around that area had been broken, but I got some people to repair it. The person who had beaten Madam up was Gisella."
"What?"
Nathaniel was stunned for a moment.
Ned said respectfully, "Gisella! Bernard's girlfriend. She could get out from the jail this time is also because of her relationship with Bernard. Plus, Mr. and Mrs. Shen had given the higher ups some gifts."
Nathaniel narrowed his eyes slightly.
The Shen family?
How could the parents who treated Mango so well back then turn away from her this easily? Why did they treat her so ruthlessly, all for the sake of their biological daughter?
Gisella was so bold!
Did she really think that she could do anything she wanted just because Bernard was supporting her?
