The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)
Chapter 1088

"Wasn't Laney targeting Alfred since the beginning?"

"No, I heard from Noah in the police station that Lebanon was the initial target of Laney and Bernard. Although Lebanon didn't fight for his power, Lexis took action against him because it had been exposed on social media that Lebanon was too close to you. Plus, Lexis knew your background and he was afraid that Lebanon would have the intention of regaining his power. Bernard just didn't expect that Alfred would replace Lebanon to the meeting."

Nathaniel's words shocked Mango.

Alfred did not have a deep impression of him in her mind, and she could not even remember what the man looked like. Now, hearing Nathaniel's words, Mango felt that the man truly loved Lebanon.

"I think Alfred was his last straw..."

"Yes, the royal conflicts have always been cruel. Lebanon was almost poisoned to death when he was very young. The others still have their own mother by their side to plan for them, but Lebanon didn't. What's more, in front of the president, he seems to be an unfavored child. If he wants to live, he has to put in more effort than the others. He also has to endure more. It isn't easy for him to become an adult. He doesn't want to die in the conflict, so he chose to leave. He would rather live in the slum than go back to his palace. However, he met Alfred in the slum."

Nathaniel told her what he had knew.

"Alfred accompanied Lebanon throughout his adolescence. They left Angolla together and developed in B City. From lack of connections to a big shot in the entertainment industry, people could only see Lebanon's successful faqade, but they couldn't see through the hardship that both Alfred and Lebanon had suffered. It can be said that Alfred was Lebanon's brother, lover, and friend. He played too many roles in Lebanon's life, but Alfred died for him in the end. I would be surprised if Lebanon hadn't become evil."

Upon hearing Nathaniel's words, Mango sympathized with Lebanon.

"Since he has grown up and had left Angolla, why didn't he come to look for me at that time?"

Hearing Mango's question, Nathaniel could not help but laugh, "Haha! Who were you back then? You were just a daughter of the Shen family. Although the Shen family enjoyed having the reputation of being a family of scholars in Ocean

City, it's still useless. Furthermore, we didn't know at that time you were the granddaughter of the Xiao family. He has got nothing to do with you back then so why would he want to look for you?"

"You're right. I almost forgot. Hahaha!"

Mango immediately broke into laughter.

"By the way, speaking of the Shen family, how is Arsenio and his wife now?"

Mango did not intentionally inquire about the Shen parents, but since they talking about this topic, she asked casually.

Seeing that there was no sadness in her eyes, Nathaniel whispered, "Gisella didn't get the kidney in time and passed away not long after that. I heard that there wasn't even a person collecting the body. The hospital had requested Arsenio and his wife to claim the body, but unfortunately, both of them did not buy it. They said that Gisella was not their daughter, and they didn't care."

Speaking of this, Nathaniel snorted coldly. Obviously, he did not like them.

Mango was also sighing.

When the Shen parents thought that Gisella was his own daughter, they were willing to give up everything for her. They even planned to destroy Mango for the sake of Gisella. However, once the truth was exposed and they knew that Gisella was not related with them, they were so heartless and abandoned Gisella.

The Shen parents were just inhumane and unsympathetic. Even the pet owners knew what to do after their pet died, let alone a human who had treated them so well. Mango shook her head and sighed, "Then, what happened to Gisella's body at last?"

"No one claimed it in the morgue so the hospital had to pay for the cremation themselves. Therefore, the hospital had no choice but to look for the local police to deal with this matter. However, this was not managed by the police. But eventually, the police paid for it. It was unknown where the ashes were scattered though."

Nathaniel said indifferently and his tone was bleak.

Gisella completely deserved it.

Everyone chose the paths by themselves. Since Gisella had chosen this path, she should know that her choice would not lead to a happing ending.

Mango did not expect Gisella to end up like this. It was the most pitiful way to die indeed...

She sighed and said nothing.

Nathaniel continued, "Since Arsenio and his wife knew that Gisella was dead, they still hadn't given up. They asked someone to bring a message to see you. They said they were wrong and were bewitched by Gisella, so they did those bad things to you. They hoped that you can forgive them as they had raised you up for so many years. I didn't want to let you hear these, so I asked someone to send the messenger away."

Mango was slightly startled.

She could not believe it. How could Arsenio and his wife use this to emotionally blackmail her?

Did they want her to help them out from the prison?

What were they thinking?

Did they really think that Mango was someone who was easily manipulated? They thought that she had no temper?

"I've really broadened my horizons."

Mango smiled bitterly, but she did not feel any discomfort.

Nathaniel breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that she was in a good mood.

"You won't blame me for making the decision for you, will you?"

"No, I don't wanna see them for the rest of my life. They really taught me a lesson."

Mango shook her head.

Nathaniel smiled, "You can't see them either. I've asked the people in the prison to intentionally have a quarrel with them. Arsenio had inadvertently stabbed someone and his sentence was increased. He would probably die in prison. As for Mrs. Shen, I heard that there was something wrong with her heart and she wanted to be released on bail, but I arranged someone to reject it."

"Woah! You are really not going to let them live, huh."

Mango smiled faintly.

Nathaniel said coldly, "Ha! If I let them live, they will probably hurt you and our children. It's better to let them stay in where they are now."

"That's true."

Mango nodded.

Neither two of them uttered a word this time.

The news on the TV was still broadcasting, but Lebanon did not do anything radical. He was in the crowd, taking a menacing glance at the arsenal and left after a while. Mango suddenly felt that she should meet Lebanon.

After all, Magnolia had helped her twice.

"Nathan, do you think that meeting Lebanon today

will bring him trouble?"

Mango finally asked.

Nathaniel was astonished for a moment and then he said, "If you want to see him, lemme think of something else."

"Will it be risky to us?"

This was Mango's first concern.

"It's hard to say, but I'll try to keep us from danger."

"Forget it. Let's wait after the new year when everything settles down."

Upon hearing Nathaniel's suggestion, Mango immediately gave up her idea of seeing Lebanon.

"If you want to meet..."

"Never mind."

Mango knew Nathaniel. As long as she wanted to do something, he would not hesitate to do it no matter how dangerous it could be. However, how could she put him in this position?

Just now, Lebanon looked a little melancholy. She was afraid that there was something wrong with him emotionally. However, thinking about it carefully, Lebanon went down this path. Even if he was persuaded not to do that this time, what about next time?

Therefore, it depended on him about how he wanted it to be.

Nathaniel and Mango watched the TV for a while and then laid down.

It was still noisy outside, but it did not affect Raiden's house much.

Mango and Nathaniel had a good sleep.

When the sun rose from the horizon, Raiden ordered the butler to knock on the door.

Nathaniel woke up from his deep sleep. When the housekeeper went upstairs, he had already heard the footsteps.

"Who's there?"

"Mr. Ye, Mr. Hawk asked me to inform you to pack up. Dr. Zhang will send you out of here. It's under state of emergency again, so you can only leave now."

The housekeeper's voice was not loud, but Nathaniel could hear it clearly.

Mango turned over and was still in a daze. She could not help but yawn.

Seeing her confused look, Nathaniel felt sorry for her and said, "Go back to sleep. I'll carry you."

"All right."

Mango leaned her body against Nathaniel.

Nathaniel was in his pajamas. He picked up Mango together the blanket before walking out of the room.

When he saw Raiden, Nathaniel whispered, "I borrowed the quilt. I will return it to you later."

"It's okay. It's quite chilly outside. Don't catch a cold."

Raiden did not care much about the quilt.

Nathaniel nodded at him before walking out with Mango in his arms.

The cold wind blew, causing Mango to shivered a little. However, she was still yawning.

She shrank and whispered, "Why don't you put me down?"

"It's okay. I can carry you."

Nathaniel wrapped the blanket around Mango.

Only now did Mango feel a little warmer.

She was really sleepy.

After the miscarriage, her body was very weak. Even if she followed her coach to exercise, her body could not recover to its original strength.

Her general debility was severe. She was prone to fall asleep easily, which was the most obvious symptom.

Mango also knew that their current situation was a little dangerous, but she just could not wake up. In addition, Nathaniel's magnetic voice was lingering by her side, making her even more drowsy. Nathaniel carried Mango into the car.

Bettany looked at Mango, who was wrapped like a silkworm in Nathaniel's arms. She could not help but ask, "What happened to her?"

"She hasn't recovered after the miscarriage. She's always been sleepy and she really can't get up at all at this hour."

Nathaniel did not hide anything from Bettany.

Bettany frowned slightly and whispered, "I heard that you have found Hikasa Manual from the Longford County?"

"That's right."

Bettany was from the Longford County, so it was not surprising that she knew Hikasa Manual. Nathaniel did not hide it from her and admitted it.

"Lend it to me later. Maybe I can find a way to make her recover, but try not to get her pregnant for the time being."

There was a glimmer of light in Nathaniel's eyes.

"I've gone through a birth control surgery. I won't let her suffer again in this life."

These words made Bettany astounded. When she looked at Nathaniel, there was a trace of warmth in her eyes.

She started the engine.

Nathaniel hugged Mango tightly.

Mango was listening, but she was too drowsy and could not help but fall asleep again.

The car drove very fast on the road.

Seeing that they were about to leave the border line, Nathaniel's eyes suddenly sank. Since the roadblocks were set in front of them, the flashing police lights made his heart jump in an instant.
