The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)
Chapter 1030

"Charlotte, it will take a while for Walter to come out of the emergency room. Why don't you go and buy us two bottles of water for now?"

Mango sent Charlotte out directly.

"Oh... okay."

Charlotte nodded, but she didn't move an inch.

"Here's the money for the water. Take it first."

Nathaniel quickly took out some money from his pocket and passed it to Charlotte.

Mango frowned slightly when she saw this.

After Charlotte left, Mango whispered, "Hmm... why do I suddenly dislike her now?"

"Maybe because she was waiting for the money?"

Mango furrowed her eyebrows after hearing what Nathaniel had said.

"Well, I was fond of her initially, and you said that she didn't have any money, right? But how much does it cost to buy a bottle of water? She treated Rita to a drumstick today, but now, she can't afford a bottle o water? Also, Walter is still in emergency treatment. She came in a hurry and didn't bring money with her. However, she insisted to not spend Walter's money. Hm... I think that

Walter would not be interested in a girl like her."

Mango's intuition was telling her that the relationship between Charlotte and Walter was not as great as Nathaniel had described.

At least, she was sure that Walter would not like Charlotte.

However, Nathaniel responded, "It doesn't matter what he thinks. I think that it's good to have a girl taking care of him. Otherwise, are you thinking of doing it in her place?" "Nathaniel Ye, what the hell were you thinking just now?"

Nathaniel was startled by her sudden questioning.

"Huh? What else can I plan? I only want to see how Walter and Charlotte's relationship will develop!"

"Hah... I think we'd better not intervene in this matter, and I don't support their relationship."

She didn't know what had happened between Charlotte and Walter previously. However, she had second thoughts now when she remembered how Charlotte called her immediately after Walter was admitted to the hospital. So, why did Charlotte do so?

Charlotte stated clearly that she had no money and wanted them to pay for Walter's medical fees.

In fact, if she really loved Walter, she would have been willing to spend her own money. Nevertheless, she was very uncomfortable and displeased with Charlotte's behaviour. Before Nathaniel could say anything, he saw a girl running to them in a hurry.

"Um... I have a question! Is the patient in the operation room Walter Song?"

The girl was gorgeous, but she gave off a flamboyant impression.

Mango glanced at her. The latter was wearing a limited edition bag and clothes, so it was obvious that she was the daughter of an affluent family.

"Who are you?"

"I'm his girlfriend! My name is Deborah Grey."

Both Nathaniel and Mango were stunned by her what she had said.

"What? You're Walter's girlfriend?"

Mango was completely dumbfounded.

"Yes, why? Do I not look like his girlfriend? Who are you guys then? What is your relationship with him?"

Deborah frowned and looked at Mango with hostility.

Nathaniel coughed awkwardly and pulled Mango

into his arms.

"This is my wife, Mango Shen."

Then, Deborah finally noticed Nathaniel's presence.

"Mr. Ye, what a coincidence."

"Well, it really is. I met your father not long ago, and I didn't expect to see you this afternoon. What happened? Is Walter your boyfriend? When did you guys get together? Why haven't I heard about it from your father?"

Deborah was stunned when she heard Nathaniel's continuous question. Then, she said with a smile, "I'm still trying to make him fall in love with me, but I won't let him escape for sure! So, I'm just declaring my ownership over him in advance."

Mango was immediately taken aback by her words.

Who on earth would chase after a man like that?

"Huh? Do you guys know each other?"

Nathaniel quickly explained to Mango, "She is Director Grey's daughter. The Grey family has been working in the ocean shipping industry for the past few years, and they have their transportation routes to locations that other companies can't access. Hence, they became the largest transporting company in the country. They have been doing exceptionally great these years because of the competitive advantages that they have over their rivals. Deborah is Mr. Grey's only daughter and the apple of his eye. Hah... he'll be furious if he finds out that she has a boyfriend!'1

Nathaniel patiently explained the Grey family's history to Mango.

Suddenly, Deborah said anxiously, "Mr. Ye, you can't tell my dad about this. If my dad finds out, he'll definitely threaten me to leave Walter, and I don't want to be a widow for the rest of my life!" Mango started laughing when she heard what Deborah said.

Then, Deborah looked at Mango's attractive face and said arrogantly, "I know you! You're Mango Shen, right? You're Walter's favourite woman."

"Watch your mouth! She is my wife."

Nathaniel's expression immediately darkened as he said this.

"Yes, yes, I got it. I know you love your wife, and I didn't mean anything else. I just wanted to say that even if you were once Walter's favourite girl, I am confident that I can surpass and replace your position. From now on, I will be responsible for Walter's life!"

Deborah declared confidently.

"Well, I'm happy to welcome you as my cousin-inlaw then."

This time, Deborah was slightly stunned when she heard what Mango had said.

"Huh? Cousin-in-law?"

Nathaniel looked at Deborah with some amusement and said, "Did you not do a background check on him before you started pursuing him? How dare you threaten my wife? Don't you know that Walter and my wife are cousins?"

"Ah? Does that mean that Walter ended up being a relative with his crush? No wonder he didn't stand a chance! Haha!"

Nathaniel was displeased with Deborah's sarcastic words.

"Huh? Why are you calling her his crush? My wife loves me the most!"

"Oh, I get it. Calm down, no one will take her away from you."

Then, she waved her hand arrogantly. After knowing Mango's identity, she immediately went forward and grabbed her arm and said with a smile, "Well, Mango, Walter's cousin, please do me a favour." Mango's lips curled up slightly when she heard this. She was pleased to hear how Deborah was addressing her.

"What is it?"

"Can you be our matchmaker?"

"Hmm... I thought that you were confident that you could win over his heart?"

Mango looked at Deborah in amusement.

Then, Deborah hurriedly replied, "I'm confident! But I think that it will be easier to achieve my goal if you help me!"

"Aren't you afraid that Walter will never move on from me?"

"No way! He already has me, so he won't have time to think about another woman! Bah! How could that be possible?" Deborah lifted her chin and looked at Mango with a haughty expression.

Mango immediately smiled when she saw this.

"Alright, I'll do it."

"That's settled then. You can't go back on your words, alright? Come on, let's make a pinky promise."

Deborah stretched out her little finger as she said this.

Meanwhile, Nathaniel felt that Deborah was too childish!

Mango was amused, but she immediately agreed to Deborah's request. After that, she immediately was in a better mood than before. Suddenly, Charlotte came back at this time after she had bought some water. She was slightly taken aback when she saw Deborah. "Miss Grey? Why are you here?"

Deborah glanced at Charlotte and said faintly, "Do I have to report my whereabouts to you? Who do you think you are?"

Mango could tell that Deborah and Charlotte were not on good terms by their heated conversation.

"Charlotte, give me the water."

Charlotte quickly handed the water to her and also took out the money from his pocket.

"Miss Shen, here, this is the spare change."

"Hey! Do you still need to borrow people's money to buy for a bottle of water? Charlotte, how much do you earn a day? Can't you even afford something as cheap as that?" Charlotte was immediately embarrassed when she heard how Deborah was humiliating her.

She bit her lower lip and said gloomily, "I... I haven't received my wages yet."

"Okay, whatever. Urgh! I'm truly disgusted by your behaviour!"

Deborah looked at Charlotte with complete revulsion and strong disapproval when she said this.

Charlotte lowered her eyes as she clenched her fists tightly. Then, she sat down and stopped talking.

Right at the moment, the lights in the operating room went out.

Deborah quickly rushed forward when she saw this.

"Doctor, how is he doing?"

Emberly glanced at Mango and was wondering who was the woman in front of her.

Mango smiled and said, "She claimed that she was Walter's girlfriend, but I guess we still need to verify that face. How is Walter?"

"Hmm... I thought that you were confident in my medical skills? He's doing absolutely fine, but he's still under anaesthesia. It will take about an hour for him to regain his consciousness." Mango was finally relieved after she heard what Emberly said.

Meanwhile, Deborah also breathed a sigh of relief when she heard that Walter was alright.

"Thank God! I was terrified just now!"

When the nurse pushed Walter out of the room, Charlotte quickly came forward to check up on him. However, Deborah immediately pushed her away and stood in from of her to block her line of

sight.

"I have arranged a VIP ward for him. Send him over there directly."

Charlotte was upset, and she immediately said in a muffled voice, "I have already arranged for a ward, so they should bring him to the common wards instead."

"Huh? Are you dumb? Walter is the president of Sminorf Corporation. How could you let him stay in the common wards? Charlotte Ramirez, what the hell are you thinking? Have some common sense, okay? You need to learn that both of you come from completely different families!"

Deborah could care less about how she had humiliated Charlotte with her words. She immediately took over Walter and personally pushed him into the VIP ward.

Seeing this, Charlotte was really upset, and tears welled up in her eyes.

Meanwhile, Mango could not stand it anymore. She wanted to say something, but Nathaniel quickly tugged at her.

Then, Nathaniel shook his head and asked her not to intervene.

Mango couldn't bear it and said in a low voice, "Let's go in and see how Walter is doing then."

After that, Nathaniel walked into the ward while holding Mango's hand.

Charlotte was the last to enter the ward.

She looked at the luxurious room and felt a little ashamed.

The cost of a night in the VIP ward was higher than her monthly salary, right?

Suddenly, she felt at a loss.

After Deborah pushed Walter in, she quickly jotted down notes in her notebook as the nurse was reminding them to pay attention to certain issues.

"Miss, is there anything else I need to look out for?"

"There's nothing else for now."

"Thank you so much then!"

Deborah was very polite to the nurse.

Then, she turned to look at Mango and Nathaniel and say, "You guys can go back. I'll take care of him here."

Meanwhile, Charlotte's expression changed when she heard this.

"Huh? Are you going to take care of him alone? I've already asked Charlotte to do it, so why don't you let her take over? You're a young lady from a wealthy family, so you might not be used to do these things." Since Charlotte had resigned from her job for Walter's sake, Mango felt that it was rather inappropriate to take this responsibility away from her. However, Charlotte felt as if Mango was looking down on her and treating her like a servant.

Then, Charlotte suddenly voiced out angrily, "Since Deborah is here, I'll be leaving now."

After saying that, she turned around and ran out of the ward immediately.

"Humph, she's too pretentious!"

Deborah snorted and directly turned around to take care of Walter.

When Nathaniel saw Charlotte's retreating figure, he couldn't help but narrow his eyes.
