The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)
Chapter 1057

Andrea?

Mango thought that she was mistaken.

She quickly looked at her watch and saw that it was half-past five in the evening.

Didn't Andrea say that she would arrive at eight o'clock in the evening?

Why was she here so early?

Besides, Mango couldn't see Dylan anywhere.

Did something happen?

At that moment, Mango's mind was running fast.

She could not let Andrea disappear from her sight.

Otherwise, she would have failed all her plans.

At that time, Morgan's men weren't here yet as they planned to come at six o'clock, so there was still half an hour left until their arrival time.

However, Andrea would have left the place and disappear if she waited for another half an hour.

Mango's brows were tightly knitted together.

Indeed, unexpected situations were bound to happen no matter how meticulous her arrangements were.

There was no time for Mango to think about it further.

Andrea took out her mobile phone to make a call and it seemed that she had contacted Lawrence in advance. Now, it was possible that Dylan was at their mercy. Mango frowned as she quickly put on her hat and walked out of the lounge.

Andrea was calling Lawrence, but a woman who was wearing a cap bumped into her as soon as the call went through. At that moment, her phone fell to the ground. "Are you blind?"

Andrea became angry at that instant.

Mango swept a glance at her phone and found that Andrea was indeed calling Lawrence.

The corner of her lips curled up into a smile, but she lowered her cap and said in a hurry, "I'm sorry, I didn't see you."

Mango's voice was very low and she was about to leave after apologizing, but Andrea grabbed her arm.

"You bumped into me and dropped my phone yet you're just saying 'sorry'? Do you really think I'm an easy-going person?"

Andrea remained as arrogant as before despite what she had experienced previously. She felt that she had a backup since Lawrence was in Ocean City.

Then, Mango sneered mockingly before she suddenly took out a syringe from her sleeve and approached Andrea in a swift movement. It was the syringe that Emberly had prepared for her in advance so that she could protect herself.

"What do you want me to do then?"

Mango raised her head slightly.

At that instant, Andrea was shocked and she was about to scream for help when Mango stuck a needle into her body.

"Oh, you're a grown adult yet you're having airsickness? I'll help you to the lounge so that you can take a rest."

As Mango spoke, she helped Andrea to Eugene's lounge, while Andrea had passed out.

Mango's entire back was drenched in sweat when she returned to the lounge.

She came up with this idea on the spur of the moment and it was fortunate the police had dispersed Lawrence's men. Otherwise, she would not know what to do.

However, she could definitely not bring Andrea out now as Lawrence's men would surely ambush her once she left the place.

At that instant, Mango's mind was running fast.

What should she do?

Dylan was Nathaniel's beloved brother and he had saved Mango back then in a foreign country. Although he had fallen in love with Andrea blindly, Mango felt that he didn't deserve such severe punishments. However, no one knew if Lawrence's subordinate harmed Dylan.

She could only wait for Morgan's men to arrive before she could leave with them. At that time, it was quarter to five and Morgan would only arrive 15 minutes later. Mango had no idea how long the medicinal effect of the stabilizer would last.

So, Mango found a rope and tied Andrea up mercilessly just in case.

She also got a towel and stuffed it Andrea's mouth.

Finally, it was almost six o'clock after she did all these.

She heard the sounds of footsteps from outside.

"Mrs. Ye, I'm Captain Eaves's signaler. He asked me to bring you some clothes."

Then, Mango hurriedly opened the door.

A 17-year-old teenager was standing outside and he looked very energetic.

He handed the bag to Mango and whispered, "I saw many unfamiliar faces on guard outside... Captain Eaves told you to wait for him and not to take any action on your own."

"I've already taken action."

Mango smiled bitterly.

At that moment, the signaler was slightly startled.

So, Mango quickly told him what happened and he immediately called Morgan.

"Captain Eaves asked you to wait for a moment as he'll be right here." "Alright."

Finally, Mango felt secured deep down.

Soon, Morgan arrived and he brought a group of soldiers with him.

They were all wearing uniforms and it was very eye-catching.

Mango quickly changed her clothes and brought Andrea out directly.

"Sir."

"Leave it to them. You can follow me out of the airport."

Morgan didn't bring many men with him, but anyone could tell that they were excellent and skillful soldiers.

It was a spectacular and striking scene as they walked out of the airport.

The soldiers got in the car, while Mango glanced at the building opposite the airport before entering the car.

On the other hand, Lawrence's subordinates frowned.

"Mr. Yu, the army is here to arrest foreign criminals who sneaked into the country. Judging from Morgan's gaze, there's probably a sniper here."

At that moment, Lawrence's were tightly furrowed.

He wasn't sure if Mango was part of them as the four noble sons of Ocean City had a good relationship with each other. However, he had heard that Morgan was rigid and impartial, so he would never go against the law. Also, the extradition today had been arranged a few days ago, so there shouldn't be any problems.

However, Lawrence felt really uneasy deep down.

Something must have happened in the airport as he could no longer reach Andrea.

Now, he could only wait for Morgan's soldiers to leave before he could go into the airport quickly to find Andrea.

On the other hand, Morgan got into the car and said to Mango directly, "The car will stop at the corner in front. I have arranged another car and other people to protect you when you return to Brantley's place. Lawrence is not a fool and he would definitely guess that I've caught Andrea if he can't find her. So, he might rob our car, but if he really does so, I'll have countless reasons to shoot him to death." As he spoke, his eyes were ice-cold and Mango wasn't used to his vibe at that moment.

It seemed as if a human's life was nothing to them, but Mango also knew that Lawrence deserved the death penalty if he really hijacked the military vehicle as he had broken the law.

Mango nodded slightly, but she felt heavy-hearted.

She thought of Nathaniel all of a sudden.

Nathaniel used to be one of them, so was his life constantly being threatened too while he was on the battlefield?

It was really fortunate that he could return from the battlefield safely.

At that moment, Mango gulped subconsciously.

Soon, the car stopped at the corner of the road as instructed by Morgan and another military vehicle was here.

Mango got on the military vehicle with Andrea while Andrea was unconscious before they were escorted all the way to Brantley's place.

As soon as she entered the house, Brantley asked Toby to untie Andrea and lock her up in the guest room.

"How was it? Are you all right? My heart was thumping fast in anxiety when Morgan called me and told me about your plan. You d*mn girl, you're so bold... Do you know how dangerous it is to do this?" Brantley's eyes became red-rimmed when he saw Mango return safe and soundly.

Then, Mango hugged Brantley and said, "Grandpa, I'm sorry for making you worry. Luckily, everything went smoothly."

"Huh? You would have been in trouble if it wasn't for Morgan. I'll break your legs if you do this again..."

Just as Brantley said that, the sound of gunshots came from outside suddenly and Mango was frozen on the spot. Meanwhile, Brantley narrowed his eyes.

"Toby, go and check out what happened. I haven't heard gunshots in Ocean City for a long time."

"Yes, sir."

Then, Toby left, while Mango was terrified deep down.

Did Lawrence take the risk?

It seemed that he valued Andrea a lot in his heart.

Andrea was really lucky to have a father like Lawrence who would protect her unconditionally in this life.

Mango was really heavy-hearted at that moment.

So, Brantley asked the servant to pour her a glass of hot water.

Half an hour later, Toby came back.

"Chief, Lawrence brought his men to attack the military vehicle. However, Captain Eaves and the criminal that he extradited from abroad were in the car, so Lawrence has openly committed a prison robbery. Also, he had guns and weapons with him, so he and his men were shot dead after a gunfight. The news will probably be out tomorrow."

As soon as Toby said that, Andrea's sharp scream came to their ears.

"What did you say? What happened to my dad?"

She ran downstairs in a hurry and was about to rush out when someone stopped her immediately.

"Let go of me! Mango Shen, tell them to get out of my way! I'm going to kill you! I want you to pay for my dad's life!"

"How dare you!"

Brantley was furious as he swept a teacup to the ground and the sound of the glass breaking came to their ears.

It was not until then that Andrea noticed that an old man was in front of her.

Brantley had served in the military for decades, so his fierce and overbearing aura made Andrea shiver.

"You... who are you? Why are you yelling at me?"

"He's our grandfather..."

Then, Mango's words stunned Andrea once again.

Andrea never knew that she had a grandfather.

She had always thought that Queena was an orphan since Queena had never returned to her parents' place for over 20 years.

"Don't lie to me, I..."

"Shut up! Where are your manners? Toby, take her down and teach her the rules. She can't sleep tonight if she can't stand like a soldier."

Brantley was strict and fierce, while his aura was intimidating, so Andrea dared not retort although she was angry.

"Grandpa, I want to see my father."

"Your father deserves to die as he has violated the law, so there's no need for you to see him. From now on, you're the child of the Xiao family, and our family has served in the army for generations, so we can' afford to lose our reputation. You'd better stay at home obediently. Also, this is a military compound and the guards outside are all armed. You can go ahead and escape if you aren't afraid of getting shot to

death."

At that instant, Brantley's words made Andrea's eyes turn red with grievance.

"Grandpa, I..."

"Toby, take her away."

Then, Toby brought her away before Andrea could finish her words.

On the other hand, Mango was about to get up and leave not that the issue here had been solved. However, she was really heavy-hearted as she did not expect things to turn out like that.

Lawrence deserved the punishment, but she was depressed as she realized that a person's life was really fragile.

Many people did not appreciate their own lives...

Mango sighed as she kindly rejected Brantley when he told her to stay and she called Desmond directly.

She wanted to go back to the Ye family now and return to her familiar home with Nathaniel by her side.

However, Desmond never answered her call.

At that moment, Mango's brows furrowed.

Desmond was guarding at the door of the Ye'S Mansion, so nothing could have gone wrong, right?
