The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)
Chapter 1049

"What are you doing?"

Mango looked at Nathaniel while with questioning eyes.

Then, Nathaniel suddenly realized that Mango seemed to have misunderstood his intentions. He coughed awkwardly and said, "Stop messing around. Let's talk about serious matters."

"What is it?"

Only now did Mango remember the reason she came there.

"Oh, it's about my company."

Mango replied anxiously.

"Didn't Clarissa work for you previously? I'm sure that she has an excellent track record, right? But why can't she settle the matter now? Are there any problems that I don't know about?"

Mango did not doubt Clarissa's ability at all. However, she was worried that someone would try to scheme against Nathaniel by using this issue. Therefore, Mango would not agree to this if this was the case.

When Nathaniel saw how anxious she was, he couldn't help but smile and said, "It's just a small issue, but you can rest assured that I will deal with it. By the way, have you eaten breakfast?"

"How can I be in the mood for breakfast while facing all these troubles?"

Mango was annoyed as she felt that Nathaniel wasn't making sense.

Then, Nathaniel quickly picked up the phone and called his secretary.

"Order breakfast for Mrs. Ye from the restaurant."

After hanging up, Nathaniel smiled and said, "No matter what happens, your health is the most important. Skipping breakfast isn't good for your stomach."

"It's almost noon and my company..."

"I'm here for you, so you should eat something too."

Nathaniel interrupted her immediately.

In this life, Mango's greatest dream was to be with Nathaniel. However, she never expected that he would promise to take care of her for eternity. Therefore, she started to calm down a little.

After a moment, the secretary came in with a tray of breakfast.

Actually, Mango didn't have much of an appetite, but she still obediently ate the food under Nathaniel's supervision.

Then, she asked while munching away, "What's going on this time?"

"We'll talk about it after your meal."

Nathaniel was very persistent.

Therefore, what else could Mango say when she had such a stubborn husband?

She finished the breakfast quickly, and Nathaniel brought her a glass of hot milk. She frowned slightly but still drank it.

Seeing that Mango had finished her breakfast, Nathaniel finally said in a low voice, "Actually, it's nothing much. It's just a competition between peers." "Don't try to fool me. If that's the case, Clarissa would still be able to manage it. I don't believe that you will send an incapable person to work for me." Mango did not hesitate to say at all.

Meanwhile, Nathaniel smiled bitterly and said, "Can't you just leave this to me?"

"Why should you deal with my company's problems? Nathaniel, I am Ms. Shen. I have to be independent. Are you planning to treat me like a child forever?"

"I would do that if you allow me to."

"No! You can't do that!"

Mango refused directly.

After going through some crisis these few days, she realised that women could not rely on men for everything. After all, men would get exhausted too. Therefore, what should she do if their enemies took advantage of this period and try to harm them?

After all, they still had three children to take care of.

Thus, Mango forced herself to be strong at this thought.

She didn't want to be a child relying on Nathaniel's protection, but she walked to help him achieve success as his companion.

When Nathaniel saw Mango's persistent expression, he sighed and said, "Mango, I don't think it's appropriate for you to deal with this issue yourself."

"What's wrong? I have dealt with my adoptive parents' problems myself, so what else would be more terrible than that? Who on earth is it?"

"Lawrence Yu."

Mango was stunned for a moment when she heard this name. She couldn't even remember who this person was.

Meanwhile, Nathaniel immediately smiled when he saw how adorable she looked.

"Andrea Yu's father. Remember? Your mother's lover from abroad."

Suddenly, Mango recalled everything!

Then, she frowned slightly.

"What do you mean? Wait, is he trying to defend his daughter? Is he trying to seek justice for Andrea this time?"

Mango thought that Lawrence was doing this because of the personal grudge between her and Andrea.

Nathaniel shook his head and said, "No, it's because of the death of your mother, Queena. He probably thinks that you're responsible for your mother's death. In fact, this is common. Since Queena is dead, he's trying to vent his hatred and anger on someone. Otherwise, he can't move on. So I guess he's trying to put the blame on someone for this."

"He's just a foolish coward! Urgh! Why is he doing all these just because he can't get the love he wants?"

Mango looked down on Lawrence immediately.

Previously, Lawrence was the mastermind of the incident that involved Elena. During that time, the law punished Lawrence's brother on his behalf, but they did not manage to catch Lawrence himself. However, they didn't expect him to target them again so quickly.

Mango immediately remained calm now that she knew who her enemy was.

"Is Lilith working for Lawrence?"

"Not exactly. Lilith is indeed working as an actress. She's misfortunate because she was born to a pair of greedy parents and a younger brother that didn't receive much education. Their family are parasites who earn a living by sponging off others, and they almost used Lilith as well. In fact, everyone in the entertainment circle knows about it. However, you started this new company, and you didn't hear about it because you didn't have enough connections. Furthermore, you didn't investigate Lilith thoroughly before you signed a contract with her. In fact, Clarissa was also responsible for this mistake. What happened was that Lawrence used some money to bribe Lilith's parents and lied to them that Lilith would make a lot of money when she became the heroine of a play. This was what started the scandal."

Nathaniel explained the truth to Mango faintly.

Meanwhile, Mango furrowed her eyes brows when she heard.

"I've already asked Clarissa to collect the evidence. Clarissa also said that if we can get the evidence, we can hold a press conference to minimize the negative impact on Lilith." "Someone destroyed the evidence at the press conference, and that made Clarissa's words even more unconvincing. Moreover, Lilith's parents are scoundrels. They completely controlled the scene."

Nathaniel sighed and said, "I will find someone to deal with Clarissa. So, you should not intervene in this matter."

"No, I want to. I want to intervene in this thoroughly!"

Mango's eyes sparkled with determination as she declared this.

"Lawrence is really a pain in the a*s. He should just stay abroad and mind his own business, so why does he have to provoke me? My mother is already gone. Does he think that I will tolerate him for my mother's sake? Who does he think he is?"

Mango was speechless by Lawrence antics.

"What are your plans on this then?"

Nathaniel could tell that his wife was eager to deal with these people by herself.

It was a good sign, though. After all, he was glad that Mango looked spirited at this moment.

Mango looked at Nathaniel and suddenly stood up with a smile. Then, she approached him and wrapped her arms around his neck.

Her scent overpowered his senses, and he immediately felt gloomy.

"Say anything you want to say. Don't you torture me this way, okay?"

Mango let out an evil smirk when she saw his reaction.

"I just wanted to sit on your lap. The sofa is too cold for me, but your body temperature is just right."

Since his wife had said so, what else could Nathaniel say?

Then, he glanced at her helplessly.

Mango felt that he looked simply too adorable at this moment!

She pinched his face and said with a smile, "Please help me out, alright?"

"My dear wife, it's my responsibility to help you."

Mango was delighted to see how obedient Nathaniel was acting.

"You're really good at buttering me up."

"Nah, I'm doing this because of my survival instincts."

Then, Nathaniel glanced at his pants gloomily again. He had a bulge on the front of his paints, but he couldn't do anything to her.

Good heavens!

What the f*ck was this torture?

Mango pretended that she didn't see it and said with a smile, "Can you please help me investigate Andrea Yu?"

"Huh? What are you trying to do?"

Nathaniel suddenly became nervous when he heard this name.

He would never forget how Andrea used to chase after him, and this incident was still fresh in his memory. Thus, he didn't want to see her ever again. If it weren't for Dylan, he would have erased Andrea's existence from this world a long time ago!

Mango was a little pleased when she saw how Nathaniel was reacting.

"I just want to know what she has been doing recently. Also, I want to invite her to Ocean City."

"Nah, you should forget about it."

Nathaniel picked up Mango immediately and placed her on the sofa.

Then, he walked around the office irritably and said, "Have you forgotten what she has done to you? Andrea will give up because she has evil intentions on me. Are you sure you want her to come?"

"Of course, I am!"

Mango smiled happily as she said this.

Nathaniel looked at her expression and realised that she wasn't joking at all. Then, he frowned and asked, "Are you trying to lure Lawrence out by using her?"

"Not exactly, but Andrea is his soft spot. Since he tried to harm me, I can't let him have his way, can I? Tell Dylan to bring Andrea for a tour in the Ocean City. Of course, I have the final say on the destination." Nathaniel calmed down a little upon seeing her confident look.

"Dylan is my brother. It's best not to offend him unless it's an urgent matter."

"I know, and I don't care about Andrea. Besides, I'm not interested in murdering people. As long as she is obedient, I will treat her as my sister."

Since Mango had already said so, Nathaniel had no choice but to agree.

Then, he made a phone call to Ned.

"Find out where Andrea is now."

Soon, Ned sent a message over.

"Andrea is recently staying in M Country. Dylan's with her as well." While Nathaniel was on the phone, Mango stood up and walked out of the office. After all, Dylan was still Nathaniel's good friend. Hence, Mango didn't want to ruin their brotherhood because of Andrea.

She felt a little bored as she watched the staff working hard in the company. Before she knew it, she was already on her way to the design department. "Katherine? You're here? Well, there's some problem with one of the designs. Can you give us some advice?"

The staff in the design department had always addressed Mango as Katherine.

Mango liked this title. She was not Mrs. Ye, but Katherine.

Thus, her long-lost passion for design had awakened again.

"Aren't you afraid that I'll leak the company's secrets?"

Mango joked and said.

However, the designer, Brighton, merely smiled and said, "Since Mr. Ye is not afraid that this will happen, why should we worry?"

Then, all of them suddenly burst into laughter.

Although Mango hadn't been there for a long time, she suddenly felt as if she had never left.

She sat on the designer's chair and took the drawings before looking at them. However, she couldn't help but frown.

These drawings were quite interesting!
