Chapter 886
"I've heard about it and this is obviously a trap. It's hard to tell whether the civilian worker fell from such a high elevator accidentally, so you can't go. Also, you should check if the workers there are contract workers as they would have insurance for accidents if they've signed a contract. You contact the insurance company now while I'll go over to the construction site."
The person who came was Terrance.
He said that in a coherent and calm manner and his words warmed Mango's heart.
"Terrance, I know that you are trying to help me, but please don't intervene in this matter as both you and grandpa shouldn't get involved. I think this is Koiton's trick, but they're just targeting the Ye Family for a stupid issue. You can help us if both Nathan and I are in danger, but if you get involved now, I'm afraid that you can no longer get out of this trouble. At that time, I'm afraid that no one could help us when we really need it."
At that moment, Terrance was a little taken aback after hearing Mango's words.
He had to admit that Mango's words made sense, but he was still worried and couldn't bear to let
Mango handle this matter all by herself.
"I'll go with you... I'm sure that the other party isn't so powerful that he can drag the Hans family into this issue."
"He doesn't hold much power, but he's able to lock up Nathan directly through the higher-ups, and you and grandfather can't even reach out to him. So, we really can't look down on him. Terrance, I will be careful, so please don't worry."
However, Mango's words made Terrance feel a little upset.
"Your health..."
"It depends on fate whether I can give birth to our child or not and it's best if it happens, but we can't force it otherwise. Now that such a thing has happened, I can't stay at home without taking any action and wait for others to save my husband and his company. That's not what I would do. I know that I'm a designer and I may not be able to manage the company well, but it's my attitude that matters. Terrance, I will be careful, so you can go back."
Mango smiled at Terrance and she was so persistent and stubborn.
Terrance's heart ached for her, but he couldn't convince her any further.
"Alright, call me if you need help and keep in mind that the Hans family is your home. We won't turn a blind eye to you no matter what happens."
"I'll keep that in mind."
Mango smiled again before she got into the car with Newell.
He started the car while Mango immediately took out her phone and called the construction company.
"Does the worker who passed away have an accident insurance?"
The employee of the construction company was stunned for a moment before he quickly said, "No, he's a temporary worker and has only been here for a few days. Mrs. Ye, I'm really sorry about this matter. It's our fault for not checking it prop, we..."
"Alright, you didn't expect that such an accident would happen too. Besides, we don't know what's going on yet. How's the situation at the construction site?" Mango asked quickly.
Then, the manager said, "The media reporters are all over the place and the family members of the victim are causing big trouble here. However, we don't dare to drive them away and we're in a deadlock. I think someone is deliberately stirring up trouble. Also, the civilian workers are really worked up here and we are afraid that a riot might happen. Mrs. Ye, you'd better not come here...just tell someone else to come instead."
Mango had thought about what would happen, but she didn't expect it to be so serious.
Nevertheless, she took a deep breath and said, "I have to go to the construction site as I don't think that anyone else can deal with it. Anyway, I will be here soon, so don't worry and you can leave it to me." After saying that, Mango hung up the phone directly.
"Newell, do you have any information about the victim?"
"Yes."
Newell immediately passed the documents to Mango.
Then, Mango took it over and she was stunned when she saw it.
The victim was the one she met in the arcade, Paul Zhang!
She recalled Paul saying that he was Pryce's subordinate, but the arcade was closed when she went back to look for him. At the same time, Paul had disappeared yet he showed up here now. How did he end up dying at the construction site that belonged to the Ye Family?
At that moment, Mango believed that this must have something to do with Pryce and Kolton.
Newell saw Mango's expression and he hurriedly asked, "Mrs. Ye, what's wrong? Is there a problem?"
"Yes, there's a big problem."
Mango looked through the information thoroughly and she found that Paul was a loafer without a stable living condition. However, he had a son and a daughter as well as a wife named Dorothy Miller. Now that he had died at the construction site, it was likely that Pryce was the one who instructed Dorothy to stir up the trouble.
Mango rubbed her temples and she had already arrived at the construction site.
"Mrs. Ye, we're here."
Mango could see from a distance that the place was crowded with people. There were reporters, civilian workers, and the security guards of the Ye family who were trying to keep the situation under control. At that moment, Mango's brows furrowed slightly as she opened the door and got out of the car. Immediately, Newell followed her by her side.
"Mrs. Ye, it's too dangerous here...why don't I call Sisi here?"
Newell suggested.
However, Mango shook her head and said, "That's not necessary. Sisi is looking after the children and She sighed and walked toward the crowd.
best not to let Wisdom and Rita find out
the current situation."
At that instant, someone spotted Mango at a glance and shouted, "Calm down, everyone! Mrs. Ye is here, let's see what she has to say!"
"What is she going to say? Their employee got into an accident yet it's only now that she comes out to deal with it. Where was she this morning? She must have had no choice but to come out now that the public is really angry about it."
Someone retorted in an instant.
Then, Mango's gaze swept across the area, but it was impossible to tell who was speaking as there were too many people here.
On the other hand, the media reporters saw Mango, and they immediately surrounded her.
"Mrs. Ye, such a big accident happened to the Ye family, but where is Mr. Ye? Why are you the one dealing with this matter? Is Mr. Ye really going to ignore this issue as the rumors spread?" Mango figured it out after hearing the reporter's critical question.
Kolton wanted to let everyone know that Nathaniel was now in the detention center.
Currently, the news was suppressed yet she forced Kolton to release Nathaniel. However, everyone felt puzzled now that Nathaniel failed to settle the issue immediately after the construction accident happened. If the public knew that he was in the detention center now, they could no longer hide the fact that he had killed a person.
By that time, even if Kolton were to withdraw his complaint, the media reporters and public would want to know the reason why Nathaniel was in the detention center although he was a business overlord. Nathaniel's reputation would be ruined if someone exposed the case intentionally.
"Screw you, Kolton!"
Kolton was facing a dire situation yet he still managed to set up such a big trap for her and the Ye family!
Nevertheless, Mango was still puzzled and she couldn't figure out what was the point for Kolton to create such an accident at the construction site. After all, this matter could be settled through public relations and everything could be solved as long as the Ye Family had a nice attitude. However, it turned out that Kolton was waiting for her here.
At that moment, Mango's brows were slightly furrowed.
She whispered to Newell, "Call Ned and tell him not to wait at the gate of the detention center anymore. Also, don't worry about when Nathan will be coming out. Just tell him to keep an eye on the media reporters at the detention center and don't let Nathan expose himself."
"Mrs. Ye, these people will trap you here if I leave..."
Newell said with worry.
However, Mango shook her head and said, "I know what I'm doing... Quick, get going! Don't let Nathan expose himself no matter what."
"Uh..."
Newell hesitated, but he figured that if Nathaniel's identity was exposed, his personal reputation be damaged and the Ye family's stock would fall sharply. Also, many of their projects with collaborations would have to be suspended.
At the thought of this, Newell quickly pushed himself through the crowd and made a phone call.
The reporters saw this scene and they could tell that Newell was on the phone negotiating something, although they did not hear what Mango told him. At that moment, they started asking sharp questions. "Mrs. Ye, did we guess it correctly, so you are asking the Ye family to inform Mr. Ye?"
"I have no idea where did you receive this news from, but my husband Nathaniel has held a high status in Ocean City for many years. I'm sure that all of you know that he's not a man who chickens out and hides when something happens. Unfortunately, my husband went on a business trip not long ago and I also just got pregnant. Recently, I wasn't feeling too well because of it, so I didn't pay much attention to the outside world. The top management of the HY group was afraid that this issue might affect my health, so they didn't notify me in time although such a thing happened at the construction site. Also, Nathan couldn't rush back, so we weren't able to solve this matter in time. I hereby apologize on behalf of the Ye Family to Paul and his family members."
Having said that, Mango bowed in Paul's direction.
At that moment, everyone calmed down and moved out of the way after seeing Mango's attitude.
It was only now that Mango saw that Paul's corpse was still at the construction site.
His corpse was no longer recognizable as he fell from a high floor. A woman and two children were kneeling next to him while crying out of breath.
Mango was also a mother and she knew that a woman would be incredibly downcasted to encounter such a situation, so she walked over.
"Dorothy, I'm really sorry about this accident. Please let us know how we can help you and feel free to ask for anything. We'll be sure to fulfill your wishes to the best of our ability."
Mango's words were very sincere, but Dorothy suddenly raised her head and said fiercely, "So what if you're wealthy? I don't want any money, I want my husband to come back to life! I'll not ask for anything else if you can let him revive... Look, my children lost their father! You took their father's life yet you're offering to help us so easily! They're still so young! What's the point of being rich if they no longer have their father by their side?"
She cried out with her blood- red eyes staring straight at Mango as if she wanted to kill Mango.
However, Mango could tell from her words that she was hinting at something else.
Was she saying that she didn't want money?
She didn't want to settle the issue nicely with Mango?
"Dorothy, I know that money is not everything, but now that such a thing has happened, we have to solve the issue, isn't it? You can't let his corpse lie here forever, can you?"
However, Dorothy's eyes darkened in an instant just as Mango finished speaking.
"You're right, he can't lie here forever, so I want you to pay for him with your life!"
Suddenly, Dorothy pulled out a dagger from her sleeve and stabbed at Mango as she spoke.
