The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)
Chapter 1094

"Mango, is there something you're hiding from me?"

Brantley's heart sank when he saw Mango's hesitancy.

"Could it be that Magnolia..."

"No, she is having a good time. It's just that it's a little inconvenient to come back to see you now. But she'll be back later. She asked me to return the pocket watch to you first and said that she really misses you."

In the end, Mango could not bear to see Brantley upset again.

Brantley was so excited that he could not control himself.

"Does she know that I'm her father?"

"Yes, she seems to know everything."

This was also the problem that Mango had finally figured it out.

Lebanon once said that his mother asked him to find her sister before she died, and these words misled Lebanon that Mango was his sister. What was Magnolia's intention of doing this?

At that time, Lebanon and Mango were still children. Due to this, they had no value to Magnolia. However, when no one knew Mango's true identity, but it was at this time, Magnolia told Lebanon about it. So, what was Magnolia's purpose of doing this?

Was Magnolia afraid that Mango's adoptive parents would do something bad to her? Was she afraid that if one day Mango's identity was exposed, then the Shen family would use this against her? Was it also why Magnolia wanted Lebanon to find and protect Mango?

Mango felt that her thoughts were too optimistic. However, other than such a thought, she could not find any other reason to explain why Lebanon had to find her.

From the moment she came into contact with Magnolia, Mango knew that Magnolia knew everything that had happened to her. She was like an outsider watching the situation unfold. However, Mango did not know when Magnolia started finding out about her background. Was it since Queena replaced herself from the moment she was born?

Or when was it?

Mango's mind was a little confused.

These questions had to wait until she met Magnolia's again.

Now Brantley was very happy because he had found his eldest daughter who had been missing for long.

It was not convenient for Mango to interrupt his happiness. She whispered, "Grandpa, I'm going out for a while." "Okay... Sure."

Brantley took the pocket watch, thinking of his eldest daughter and his wife, and all his emotions came rolling in. Mango turned around and left the study.

As soon as she opened the door of the study, she saw Andrea standing at the door. She was eavesdropping.

Andrea did not feel ashamed at all that she had eavesdropped on them. She even asked openly, "Aunt? My mother even has a twin sister?" "How did your father educate you since you were young? Don't you know what 'respect' is?"

Mango's brows were tightly knitted together.

She came to the study on purpose because she did not want her to know. Unexpectedly, Andrea was so shameless that she followed them. Andrea, however, sneered, "What if you gonna frame me? Of course I have to listen to it! Otherwise, I won't know what you'll do. Ha!"

"If I really wanted to kill you, do you think you can still live until now?"

Mango looked at her as if she was an idiot before walking past her.

Andrea was suddenly provoked.

"Mango, what the h*ll d'ya mean? You and I are both the granddaughters of the Xiao family. We are both Queena's daughters. Why do you think you are superior to the others? Why do you ignore me?" She grabbed Mango's arm and glared at her angrily.

Mango felt that Andrea who was infuriated now, was rather interesting.

Mango looked at her and said, "No reason. I'm just better than you, and people like me more. What now, huh? You don't wanna accept it? There's nothing you can do about it. Can't blame anyone though, you have such a father."

"You are not allowed to talk about my father!"

Andrea was so angry that she immediately raised her arms and slapped Mango.

A trace of coldness flashed in Mango's eyes. Then, she slapped Andrea first.

"Urgh... Ah!"

Andrea was caught off guard and fell to the ground.

"How dare you!"

"Why wouldn't I? After all, I'm your sister and you're disrespectful to me. Our mother is gone, and you don't understand the etiquette. As your eldest sister, I've the right to teach you. I'm educating you on how to be good."

Mango spoke righteously, but Andrea spat.

"Bah! My sister? What? Mango, don't you feel ashamed? Then why did you still do those things to me as my sister?"

"That depends on whether you're obedient or not. Andrea, I took you to my grandfather because I thought that there was still a trace of kinship between us. If you can change your attitude and start a new life, I will still recognize you as my sister. After all, we're related by blood. But if you wanna be stubborn, don't blame me for being ruthless. At that time, I won't have mercy on you anymore."

Mango had said all she wanted. As for whether Andrea could take in her advice or not, she had no idea.

Andrea snorted and did not reply. However, the look in her eyes made Mango realize that she would not turn over a new leaf.

Andrea had chosen her own path. Since she did not want to turn back, then Mango had no regrets. After all, they did not belong to the same world.

Mango no longer cared about Andrea. Instead, she went directly to Toby's place.

"Toby, where is Haniya?"

"Haniya went to get the medicine for Brantley."

Toby's words immediately confused Mango.

"Medicine? What happened to him?"

Seeing that she was worried, Toby quickly said, "It's okay. Haniya has been nursing Brantley's body all these while. He's suffering from calcium deficiency recently. That causes his bones to ache especially on his legs and waist. Haniya went to the hospital to get the prescription and she'll be back soon."

Hearing Toby's words, Mango didn't feel relax at all.

If Haniya wanted to get the medicine, she could call Desmond and ask him to go to the hospital. Why did she have to go there by herself?

Mango did not want to let Toby see her nervousness. She smiled, "Toby, I sneaked out when Nathan is still sleeping. I'm afraid he's awake now, and I don't know if he'll be worried if he can't find me. I'll leave first. You can tell my grandfather later."

"Don't you wanna have dinner here?"

Toby was a little surprised.

Mango smiled, "Nah. I'll go back and eat with my hubby. It's really pitiful to let him eat alone."

"Aw! What a lovey-dovey couple!"

Hearing Mango's words, Toby could only allow her to leave. He nodded his head and sent Mango away with a smile.

When he reached the door, Mango seemed to have unintentionally mentioned something.

"Toby, Andrea is at home and don't let Andrea make my gandpa angry. You should pay him more attention and take good care of him. He's getting old."

When Toby heard this, he suddenly said, "That's right. Andrea is really too naughty and made Brantley angry every time. Lucky thing is, she knows how to sweet talk him, but he seems to be particularly strict with her. After she tried to please the him for three times, he will get angry and ask her to talk to the mirror for a day. Also, he ordered me to watch her. From then on, Andrea became better."

When Mango heard what Toby said, she could not help but imagine Andrea talking to herself in front of the mirror for a whole day.

She suddenly felt hilarious.

Grandpa was simply too talented.

Mango felt relieved to see Brantley like this.

She was afraid that Brantley would be confused by Andrea's sweet talks, just like Madam Hans. However, she could not say it out loud. Mango had always been very worried. Now that she heard from Toby tha Brantley did not fall for Andrea's tricks at all, Mango finally felt relieved.

"Then, I'll go now, Toby."

"Okay, Ms. Sun, take care."

Mango got on the car and she drove out of the military compound.

After exiting the place, Mango stopped her car by the side of the road and took out her phone to call Haniya.

"Yes, Mango?"

When Haniya saw Mango's number, she immediately responded.

"What happened? Why did you have to go to the hospital personally?"

"Did you go back to the Xiao family?"

Haniya did not reply but instead she asked her own question, causing Mango's heart to sink a little.

"Well, I just came out. What's the matter?"

"I'm not sure, either. So, I came here for an examination."

Haniya's words caused Mango's eyes to darken.

"Gimme the address, I'll be right there."

Mango was most concerned about Brantley's health.

If something went wrong to Brantley because of Andrea, she would never forgive herself.

Haniya sent a live location to Mango, and she immediately drove over.

When Mango arrived at the hospital, Haniya already stood and waited at the entrance.

She furrowed her brows, looking conflicted.

Mango's heart was very uncomfortable.

She did not even have time to park the car in the underground parking lot. Then, she pulled out her car by the roadside and quickly ran over to Haniya.

"What's going on? Is there anything wrong with my grandpa's health?"

Haniya was stunned when she saw Mango arriving that fast, but Haniya regained her mind quickly.

She said, "Mango, I am not sure yet. We can only see it after the result comes out." "What the h*ll is going on?"

Mango was worried.

Haniya whispered, "Yesterday, Andrea brought a pot of flower and put it in Brantley's bedroom. I was checking the dishes in the kitchen, so I didn't find this a problem. Brantley seemed to like the pot of flower very much, so he never moved it out as he thought that Andrea wanted toplease himself. Plus, he did not let anyone to move it out too. Only this morning when I cleaned the room, I saw the pot of flower."

"Is there a problem with the flower?"

Mango's brows instantly furrowed.

Haniya shook her head and said, "There is no problem with the flowers, but I feel a little dizzy soon after entering his room. Brantley isn't that energetic, so I guess there's something in his bedroom which produced some unknown gases from the chemical reaction with the flower. And this can interfere one's mental state. But I dare not speak rashly about such things without evidence. I looked around and found out that the sandalwood hanging in Brantley's bedroom and the flower fragrance are somewhat not matched. Although I am a nurse, I am not a doctor. So this morning I took out his sandalwood secretly and picked a leaf of the flower and came out in the cover of prescribing medicine for him."

Broody concern soon covered up Mango's face.

Andrea's artifice had leveled up, yeah?

It was no longer a simple and straightforward means of poisoning someone. Now she changed it to use the restriction in medicinal herbs.

If something really happened to Brantley, she could take away either the flowers or the sandalwood, and then no one would know about her scheme.

Andrea was really good-for-nothing!

The corners of Mango's mouth curled up slightly. A cold smile appeared on her face as a hint of coldness flashed across her eyes.
