The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)
Chapter 1052

"Wisdom is in danger!"

Bettany had sent her a message to inform her about this.

Mango quickly called Bettany on the phone, but there was no answer.

Her heart started beating rapidly because she was nervous.

"Mommy, what's wrong with you? Why are you looking so anxious?"

Rita couldn't help but ask when she noticed Mango's pale expression.

Then, Mango immediately rushed out without saying a word.

Meanwhile, Nathaniel was having a conversation with Axelson Oxford about Rita when he saw Mango running over in a panic. Thus, he immediately went forward and asked. "What's wrong?"

"Wisdom is in danger. Bettany sent me a message, but she didn't answer my call. I heard that Wisdom went to Welbenia. Nathan, I'm scared!"

When Axelson heard what Mango said, he quickly realised the danger that Wisdom was in.

"Mr. Ye, there was a horrible riot happening in Welbenia not long ago. I heard that many people were abducted as hostages."

Everyone in the military region knew that Axelson's news sources were reliable.

Upon hearing this, Nathaniel and Mango's expressions suddenly changed.

"I'm going to Welbenia right away!"

Nathaniel quickly contacted Ned to send in a helicopter.

Mango also said, "I'm going too."

"You can't! They're still a lot of things that you need to do. Besides, Andrea is coming, and you need to settle your company's affairs as well. Rita also needs some care and attention. Mango, the tasks you have are more important than mine. I promise to call you immediately and update you on it, okay?"

Nathaniel looked worriedly at Mango while he said this.

He knew that Mango was concerned about Wisdom and wanted to follow him. However, it was not the right time for her to do so.

Mango knew that Nathaniel's decision was right. However, she felt ill at ease.

"I don't know what will happen after the riot. Since they have informed the military about this riot, the situation there must be really unpleasant. Nathan, no matter what happens, you must bring Wisdom back!" "Don't worry, I will. He is my only nephew. I will ensure his safety even if I have to give up my life."

"Stop it. You know you still have to come back to celebrate your birthday with me. You promised me this!"

Mango quickly covered his mouth to prevent him from saying anything misfortunate.

"I know, there are still three days left, right? Don't worry, I will come back as soon as possible."

After saying that, Nathaniel looked directly at Axelson.

"Don't think that I will let this issue slide. I will definitely get back to you on what happened to my daughter, and we'll have a good talk about it after I'm back from Welbenia."

After saying that, Nathaniel ordered someone to send Mango back to the Xiao family, and he quickly left the place.

Meanwhile, Brantley had also received the news. When he saw Mango returning, he asked in concern, "Are you alright? I heard that Nathan has left. I'll get Toby to tag along and help out." "There's no need for that, grandpa. Nathan can handle it by himself. I'm just worried about Wisdom."

"Why did that kid go to Welbia?"

Brantley asked with a concerned expression on his face.

"Mommy, what happened to Wisdom?"

Rita frowned and asked.

"It's all right. Wisdom has encountered some troubles. Your father is already on his way there, so you don't need to worry."

Mango tried her best to plaster on a smile in front of Rita. However, she was secretly feeling uneasy.

Suddenly, she saw that Nathaniel was calling her, and she quickly picked up.

"Dylan and Andrea are on the plane. They will arrive at around 8 o'clock in the evening."

"I know. I'll take care of this. Also, you should take care of yourself. By the way, did you bring some painkillers there?"

Mango reminded him as she recalled that he was suffering from neuralgia.

"I asked Noah to send me to the airport, and I'll be going there on a helicopter. Don't worry. I've got some updates about Zion as well, and he's probably going there with me."

Mango furrowed her browns when she heard what Nathaniel had said.

"Huh? Why?"

"He's probably going there for a military operation. I'll take the helicopter first, and he will be coming with me. Don't worry, our son will be fine. I'll bring both of them back safely, I promise. Alright, talk to you later."

After saying that, Nathaniel hung up the phone.

Meanwhile, Mango was extremely worried for the three of them.

There was a riot in Welbenia, and Wisdom happened to be there. Besides, Zion had decided to follow along. Therefore, how could she be at ease?

However, she could not do anything at all. After all, there were still many things in Ocean City that she needed to deal with.

"Grandpa, Andrea will arrive at eight o'clock in the evening. Can you send someone to pick her up? I'll leave it to you."

"All right."

Brantley knew what Mango was going to do, so he naturally wouldn't stop her.

"I'll take Rita back with me too. If I leave her here,

I'm afraid that Andrea won't treat her well."

Mango told Brantley about her concerns directly.

Brantley immediately agreed.

After that, Mango brought Rita back to The Ye's Mansion and got Lucy to take care of her. Then, she gave Haniya Bell a call. "You and Desmond should come to the Ocean City as soon as possible. I need you guys here."

"Okay, Madam."

When Haniya heard this, she packed up her things and went to find Desmond.

Meanwhile, Desmond was searching for information on his computer. Thus, he was stunned when she saw Haniya coming in.

Ever since what happened previously, the two of them rarely met alone, and Haniya never looked for him again too. Thus, Desmond was a little surprised to see her coming in all of a sudden. "What's the matter? Do you need anything?"

"Madam wants us to return to Ocean City immediately. She needs us over there."

Haniya was a little upset when she said this.

She really liked Desmond, but she also knew that Desmond still had feelings for his deceased partner, Marissa Fang.

They didn't meet or talk to each other all this while, so she was able to contain her feelings.

However, she suddenly that all her efforts were in vain while standing in front of him.

It was really hard to love someone, but it was even harder to forget a person.

"Got it."

Desmond lowered his head and did not look at Haniya. Thus, Haniya was deeply hurt by his cold and distant appearance.

She really wanted to stay there and be with him. However, she was feeling really depressed right now.

After that, Haniya turned around and went out with sadness in her eyes.

Desmond caught sight of her emotions. Then, he frowned slightly, and mixed feelings flashed in his gaze.

It was impossible for the two of them to be together. Therefore, why should he bother to worry about this when he already knew the outcome of their relationship?

Desmond sighed at the thought of this. After sorting out the materials, he immediately followed after her.

Meanwhile, Clarissa used the Ye family's connections to suppress Lilith's scandal for now. However, Lilith's parents were scoundrels, and they cried hysterically and made a scene at the entrance of the company. Thus, Clarissa was feeling distressed because of this issue.

"Ms. Shen, I'm sorry. This happened because I was careless."

Clarissa called Mango immediately to apologise for her mistake.

"Nah, you did well. However, we met a formidable opponent this time. I'll send more people out to search for evidence. Please stop Lilith from working during this time, and don't let her go out before this matter is solved."

"Alright, I'll do as you say."

Clarissa hung up the phone after answering Mango.

Then, a trace of anger flashed through Mango's eyes.

Lawrence had really gone too far this time!

Initially, Mango had wanted to take her time to deal with Lawrence. However, now that Andrea was already on the plane, she decided to start carrying out her plans instead.

After that, she gave Desmond a call.

"Are you on the plane?"

"Not yet. We're still waiting to go through the security check."

Mango was surprised by Desmond's words. After all, she did not expect them to take action this quickly.

"Help me investigate Lawrence Yu, and please get someone to stir up some incidents at the entrance of his hospital. I want the media to focus their attention on it. Also, try and see if we can threaten him with his scandalous private life. I hope that all these will affect the valuation of his assets and reputation."

"All right."

After hanging up the call, Desmond turned on his computer.

Mango's gaze immediately turned cold.

She was worried about Nathaniel, Wisdom and Zion. However, she was upset that she couldn't do anything about it because she was caught up in these stupid matters.

Mango just had to wait and see how all her plans would turn out.

But, she couldn't let herself be idle. Otherwise, she would start worrying about them again.

Thus, she decided to head to the storeroom.

After all, Walter and Deborah were married. As a cousin, she should send some congratulatory gifts to the newlywed, right?

Even Brantley had gifted them a house. So, what should she give them?

Mango came to the storeroom while hoping to find something good. Right at that moment, she saw the bride's gown hanging on the wall.

She wore the wedding dress once when she married Nathaniel eight years ago. At that time, she knew that the dress was not for her, but she didn't think much about it. After all, they had held the wedding ceremony in a hurry. However, she never expected Nathaniel to keep it until now.

Mango suddenly felt a little uneasy at this thought.

If he didn't prepare the dress for her, then was it for Macy Cho?

Did Nathaniel keep the wedding dress because it was meant for Macy? Wait, did he forget to throw it away? Or were there any other reasons?

Suddenly, Mango found that her thoughts were starting to run wild again.

She was sure that Nathaniel would definitely not have any feelings for Macy. Therefore, this dress should not be of any significance, but why didn't he throw it away?

At this thought, Mango stepped forward and touched the dress.

The material and design of the gown were grand and elegant. Thus, Mango liked it very much even though eight years have passed since their wedding.

However, she felt slightly uncomfortable upon knowing that the dress wasn't meant for her in the beginning.

She knew that she shouldn't bother Nathaniel with these petty issues since he had gone to Swovenia for an important mission.

Mango reached out her hand and put away the gown. Just then, she discovered a draft of the gown. It was obviously the design drawing of the gown. However, she was slightly taken aback when she noticed the familiar handwriting on it.

She subconsciously picked it up and found that the size chart was a little familiar. These were her measurements from eight years ago!

As per Mango's expectations, she saw her name at the back of the draft.

At this moment, her heartbeat quickened.

Was this gown specially designed for her?

But that wasn't right!

She had to marry Nathaniel because of the scandal at the party, and it was a hasty decision she had made. Therefore, how could he have designed it beforehand?

She couldn't answer this question, but her heart

was instantly filled with joy.

This gown had been designed for her all along!

Was that so?

The corners of her lips unconsciously curled up in satisfaction when she thought about this.

At this moment, Thomas called her.

Mango was slightly stunned to receive the call. Then, she suppressed her excitement and quickly picked up the phone.

"What's up?"

"Madam, can you contact Mr. Ye for me? I'm looking for him, but his phone is turned off."

Thomas asked anxiously.

Mango replied softly, "He should be on the plane right now. Something happened to Wisdom in Swovenia, and he's rushing over. Is there something wrong?"

"I need a team for help. I don't have enough people."

Mango was slightly taken aback when she heard what Thomas had said.

What was he doing there? Also, why did he still need people?
