The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)
Chapter 1018

Didn't Nathaniel mention his family background when he transferred Rita to this kindergarten? Even if he did not do so, how could anyone in Ocean City not know who Nathaniel was? Mango knew that this was impossible!

If the kindergarten dean had known who Nathaniel was, he would certainly tell the teachers regarding it. However, it was obvious that Elena was not qualified to be a teacher.

At this thought, Mango immediately called Ned.

"Can you do a thorough investigation on Elena Zhang from Firefly Krista Kindergarten?"

"Alright, Madam."

Ned did not ask why she wanted him to do so, and he immediately left to carry out her orders.

Before Mango got news about Rita, she had gotten a call from Carmel instead.

"Madam, Brandon has come just out of surgery with twelve stitches. However, his life is not in danger right now. Thankfully, you managed to send doctors from the military on time. If you didn't do that, he probably would've been dead because of those incompetent b*stards that are

working here!"

Mango immediately became alert when she heard Carmel's words.

"Is there something wrong with that doctor? Also, did you say that a doctor from the military hospital went there?"

"Yeah. Dr. Liu of the military hospital was nearby as he was treating a patient outside the hospital. He came here immediately because the deputy ordered him to do so. Meanwhile, the useless doctor wanted to do a craniotomy to clean up the congestion in Brandon's brain. However, Dr. Liu did a diagnosis and found out that there was only minor congestion, so they didn't need to do a craniotomy. Moreover, Brandon is only a young child, so it was quite risky for someone like him to go through brain surgery. Urgh! I wonder whether the doctors working in that sh*tty hospital even have a license!"

Mango immediately narrowed her eyes when she heard what Carmel had said.

"Help me investigate this doctor. Besides, check if he has any relationship with Elena."

"Madam, do you suspect that Elena instructed the doctor to do this?"

Carmel asked in confusion.

"Well, I think it's hard to tell now. I'm just making a guess, but I guess we'll find out the truth once we investigate this incident."

"Yes, Madam."

After hanging up the call, Mango's expression slightly darkened.

However, she didn't expect that a simple brawl between two children would escalate this seriously. Furthermore, if Elena was indeed suspicious, this incident would definitely blow up even more. At this thought, Mango quickly called Ned.

"Ask the Public Relations Department of HY Group to check whether any reporters have entered Macca County recently. In addition, ask our connections to find out if any reporters are heading to the city from over there. If it happens, try your best to stop them."

"Stop them? Madam, do you want us to prevent them from entering the county by force?"

Ned was slightly astonished to hear this order coming from Mango.

If they really carried out such a large-scale plan, this incident would catch the attention of the public.

Initially, Mango didn't want to stop them by force either. However, she didn't have any other connections, so she didn't know what else she could do to deal with this matter other than this.

It would be great if Nathaniel was here right now.

At this thought, her heart missed Nathaniel once again for a brief moment.

"Just stop them by force."

Mango said this is an exhausted voice.

However, Ned said softly, "Madam, I have a suggestion. Would you like to listen it?"

"Tell me about it."

"You should get Captain Eaves to help you with this matter."

Mango was slightly stunned when she heard Ned's suggestion.

"Huh? Morgan Eaves?"

"Yes, I'm sure that Captain Eaves has plenty of solutions to solve this matter so that we can hide this issue from the public. Although I don't know what happened, since you asked me to look into Elena, I'm sure that this has something to do with Miss Ye. She's your daughter, so if you intervene in this matter personally, one of your enemies might try to use this situation to their advantage. Thus, they will push both you and your daughter into the eyes of the public. Hence, the best solution that you can do right now is to lay low together with the rest of the Ye family."

Ned said these words softly.

Mango had to admit that he was right. However, would Morgan help her as she had never talked to him personally?

Nathaniel wasn't around, and she was merely his wife. Although both her husband and Morgan had a good relationship, Mango still felt somehow uneasy.

"I don't know Captain Eaves that well. Also, he lives in the military area, so I can't meet him."

"Madam, I think you're a little confused. Even though you can't meet Captain Eaves personally, you can meet his wife! After all, she's neighbours with Brantley. Also, I hear that their son adores Miss Ye very much."

Mango immediately understood what Ned was trying to tell her once he had explained their plans.

"Alright, I got it."

After she put down the phone, she looked in Rita's direction. Then, she gritted her teeth and drove her car to the Eaves family's house.

Along the way, Mango had wondered how many red lights she had run into. In the end, her back was completely drenched when she arrived at her destination.

Sweat had seeped into her wounds, and they hurt even more than they were before now.

Mango's forehead was covered with sweat, but she didn't dare to stop and went straight to the house of the Eaves family.

The house of the Eaves family was guarded securely. Thus, the security guard at the door immediately stopped Mango when he saw her approaching.

"I'm sorry, please show me your ID."

Mango quickly handed over her identification card in reply.

"I'm looking for Mrs. Esther Eaves. I'm Brantley Xiao's granddaughter and also Nathaniel's wife, and I need to see her urgently!"

"Please wait a minute. Let me go in and report this."

Not long after the guard entered, an adorable young woman walked out.

"Are you Mrs. Ye? I'm Esther."

"Mrs. Eaves, I need to tell you something."

When Mango saw Esther had never expected Esther to be so young.

Morgan was the oldest among all of Nathaniel's friends. Thus, she never expected that his wife would be so young.

Esther replied with a smile, "Let's talk inside." "It's okay. I'm not going in. After all, my daughter is still in a critical situation, so I can't stay here for long."

When Esther saw how cold sweat was covering Mango's face, she immediately understood the situation.

She certainly knew how Mango was feeling as both of them were mothers.

"Alright. Tell me what you need."

After hearing those words, Mango quickly explained what had happened previously and why she had come here to Esther.

Then, Esther took out the phone and gave a call to Morgan directly after she finished listening to Mango.

"Uncle, I need your help here."

When Esther started speaking, Mango was shocked.

Wasn't she calling Captain Eaves?

How could he be her uncle?

Suddenly, a growl came from the other side of the line.

"Esther, talk to me properly! If you call me your uncle again, I'll punish you once I get back!"

Esther poked out her tongue in reply.

"Bleh! I'm already used to it, so I can't change the way I address you so easily. Okay, let's not squabble anymore. Mrs. Ye needs your help."

"Huh? Which Mrs. Ye are you talking about?"

"Nathaniel's wife."

Morgan said immediately, "Oh... Nathan's wife, Mango? What's up? Go ahead and tell me, I happen to have some time now."

After that, Esther quickly told Morgan about Mango's current situation.

Once he heard about the situation, Morgan replied indifferently, "No problem. I'll give a command to my subordinates now. I'll tell them that the troops are training for a battle, and we will be using the suburbs as our training location. If we do this, those reporters would not be allowed to go into that area. Also, I will capture all of the reporters that have left the place and bring them back to her. Don't worry, alright?"

"Okay. See you."

After Esther hung up the phone, she smiled and said, "Mrs. Ye, it's settled."

On the other hand, Mango didn't expect things to go so smoothly, so she didn't know how to react.

"Thank you for your help. By the way, just call me Mango." "Alright, Mango. I'll invite you to our house some other day. You must be worried about your daughter now, aren't you? You should go back first. Let's talk again soon."

Esther said these words with a brilliant smile on her face, so Mango was a little stunned.

After all, Esther was Morgan's wife. Morgan was Nathaniel's commander, so she should follow in his footsteps and address Esther respectfully instead. However, now that Esther had called Mango by her name, she didn't know how to respond.

Thus, Mango returned to The Yes Mansion in a daze.

Meanwhile, Emberly had already come out of the room and cleaned up herself.

"Why did you go out?"

"I just went to deal with some issues. How's Rita doing?"

"She's fine. Don't worry too much because I treated her personally. By the way, I think she must have been exhausted because she fell asleep immediately. I think that she is suffering from severe sleep deprivation. Did she just go for the military training?"

A trace of anger flashed in Mango's eyes when she heard Emberly's words.

"Nah, she only went to do some sketching outdoors." "Huh? How could she end up this way just from some outdoor sketching? I'm sure that she hasn't slept for at least ten hours right now!" Mango's heart ached again when she heard Emberly's reaction.

This meant that she didn't know what hardships that Rita had gone through these few days, even though she was Rita's mother!

"Can I go in to see her now?"

"Yeah, but keep your voice down. She has just fallen asleep."

After saying that, Emberly packed up her things and left the mansion.

Then, Mango went into Rita's room. She walked gently when she saw Rita was breathing evenly while sleeping.

At first glance, she realized that Rita had become thinner.

Rita was a glutton. She had eaten so much at home that she almost had a double chin, but her chin was too sharp now.

Thus, Mango felt heartbroken when she saw how much her daughter was suffering now.

She held Rita's small hand, but Rita let out a soft cry and subconsciously dragged her hand back.

When Mango saw this, she hurriedly rolled up Rita's sleeve, only to discover that there was a bruise on her arm. It appeared that someone had pinched her harshly.

Rita was a princess that Mango pampered, so how could outsiders treat her this way? Mango was furious right now!

Right at the moment, Ned gave her a call.

Mango left Rita's room hurriedly to pick up the call as she didn't want to disturb Rita.

"Madam, your guess was indeed correct. Many reporters were trying to head to Macca County. Fortunately, Captain Morgan has issued a military drill order to seal the city so no one can go out now. He even brought back some of the reporters who escaped secretly."

Mango became calmer after hearing Ned's words.

"Were you there when Rita went to the kindergarten?"

"No, Madam. Mr. Ye's assistant, Thomas, was the one who arranged that."

Mango immediately understood the situation.

"Okay, I got it. Also, did you manage to get any information about Elena?"

"Yes. However, there's something strange about this. Elena doesn't have a teaching license, and she's not a kindergarten teacher. She was only graduated from an art university, so she's still currently unemployed now."

Mango's eyes immediately narrowed again soon after she heard Ned's words.

"Hah! How dare she treat my daughter this way without a teaching license? Go and find out who's the mastermind behind her!"

Mango was in a tremendous rage that she wished she could kill Elena with her own hands.

After hanging up the call, Mango went to the kitchen.

She didn't know whether Rita had been eating well these days. However, she knew that Rita couldn't eat anything greasy now because she had a fever. Thus, Mango wanted to make some millet congee for

her.

Once Mango had finished cooking the millet congee, Rita was still asleep.

Mango did not want to disturb her, but she didn't have an appetite either.

Then, Carmel called and said that both Brandon's parents were relieved after seeing that their child was fine, so they were acting less hostile now. However, Elena had encouraged them to sue Rita. Fortunately, both Brandon's parents were knowledgeable in the law. In addition, Mango had found a doctor from the downtown military hospital to treat their kid and paid whatever she was supposed to, so they planned to let go of the matter.

When Mango heard Carmel's words, she had let out a cold smile.

It seemed that Elena was indeed sparing no effort to push her and Rita into the cusp of public opinions.

What on earth was Elena trying to do?
