The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)
Chapter 1150

"Is Morgan's situation serious?" Mango inquired instinctively.

Mateo heaved a sigh after hearing her question. Then, he Mango's head before he whispered, "I'm afraid there will be major changes this time. Anyway, I'll take my leave now. Stay here and ask your uncle for help should you need anything. I don't want the Hans family to be the last person to know about anything that happens to you. Of course, I also hope you'll stay safe from now on, okay?"

He had a concerned and grim look on his face as he advised Mango.

Mango nodded her head in a hurry after hearing his words.

"Uncle, you should also take care. If it is possible, you should ask us for help when you need it. I think that what happened to Morgan isn't as simple as it seems. Although you don't want to tell me about it, I have an inkling that it may have something to do with us, right?"

"Don't poke your nose into this. Anyway, I'll be fine, and Chief Eaves should be all right, too."

However, Mango could tell that Mateo wasn't relaxed at all when he said these words.

Not long after Mateo left, Nathaniel came back.

Mango went forward to welcome him hastily when she saw this.

"How's everything going? Where's Zion?"

"He is Sasa's leader, so he will be staying in the military zone to follow up with certain matters. I don't think he'll be back tonight, though."

As Nathaniel spoke, he shook the snow off his shoulders.

"There's a snowstorm outside, so I think many roads and the airport have to be shut down."

Mango took Nathaniel's coat while listening to his words.

Her heart was laden with worries, just like how the snow was piling outside.

"Hurry up and take a shower in the bedroom to warm up. I've already turned on the heating system at home. Are you hungry? I'll get you something to eat. Everyone else already ate dinner." Mango looked at the exhaustion in his eyes in distress, but she didn't know how to comfort him.

After all, Morgan was his comrade. Now that the latter was being investigated, Nathaniel was probably the most upset person right now.

Nathaniel nodded in reply before he went to the room.

When Brantley heard that Nathaniel was back, he immediately got someone to prepare food for him. Therefore, Mango managed to save time as she didn't have to prepare Nathaniel's meal herself.

"Where's Nathan?"

"He went to take a shower."

Mango answered Brantley casually, but she was actually deep in thought.

Now that such a serious incident had happened to Morgan, could Esther take it?

After Nathaniel came out of the room, the servants had already prepared dinner, but he didn't have much of an appetite.

On the other hand, Brantley knew that the couple needed to talk to each other, so he went back to his room.

When only Mango and Nathaniel were left in the dining room, she said in a low voice, "I know you're upset. Uncle was here just now, so I know that Morgan is under military investigation. You must be worried sick right now, aren't you?"

"Yeah, lam."

Nathaniel nodded as he whispered, "Emberly wants to go there and accompany Esther, but her identity is a little complicated. It isn't appropriate for her to go there for the time being. On the other hand, Genevieve is pregnant, so she can't go as well. Morgan has been dragged into trouble because of us this time."

"Are we involved in this?"

"Sort of. Someone reported that Morgan was deeply involved with the underground society, and they said that he ordered protection to come criminals. Now that Morgan has been suspended, I heard that they started investigating Eugene as well."

Mango was slightly surprised after hearing his words.

Everyone knew about the bond between the four most influential men of Ocean City, but they chose to turn a blind eye to it. After all, Morgan, Noah, Eugene and Nathan were simply good comrades, and they were not using each other for their own benefits. Therefore, why did someone report Morgan by saying that he was protecting Eugene?

Eugene had been working in the criminal underworld for many years, but recently, he had been doing a lot of legal business. However, he was also involved in certain shady businesses at times. Thus, if the superiors carried out a thorough investigation, they would probably find

out the truth.

Obviously, the other party was targeting the four influential young men of Ocean City, and they intended to defeat them one by one. Therefore, they decided to deal with Eugene and Morgan first as these two were the easiest targets.

Then, Mango analyzed the situation briskly before saying softly. "I'll go then. You're still a military officer right now. Are you being investigated as well?"

Nathaniel threw a glance at Mango in a helpless manner in reply.

What should he do with such an intelligent wife?

He didn't even know how to hide the truth from her!

Therefore, Mango knew what was running in his mind the moment she looked at him.

She smiled in reply and said, "I don't want Zion to follow in your footsteps as this is too risky. Maybe I'm not qualified to be a military spouse, so I actually think that what happened this time is a good thing. I hope that Zion will change his mind and decide not to serve in the military after this. After all, he can do whatever he wants in the future. What about you? You've been working your a*s off for so many years to serve the country and its people. Besides, we've already decided that you would retire from the army soon, so it'll be great if you can retire officially because of this incident."

"Well, I'm afraid it won't go as you wish then."

Nathaniel patted Mango's head helplessly and replied, "I think that the superiors have suspended my retirement application. Besides, if they approve of my retirement at such a critical moment, people would think that I'm trying to run away from my responsibilities. Eugene is not only Morgan's buddy, but he is also my friend. I'm not one of their targets, so they're only doing a normal investigation on me. However, Eugene and I have a lot of business deals, so they might look into those. But during this period of time, I can't leave Ocean City. Well, the snow is falling heavier, and it's blocking the road outside the city. I won't be going anywhere, so I'll stay at home with you and the kids."

Mango was slightly taken aback after hearing this, but she nodded in the end.

After all, she couldn't argue with his decision. Furthermore, Nathaniel and Eugene only had legal business transactions. They had documented all these transactions clearly, so the only thing that they were worried about was that someone would slander them on purpose.

At the thought of this, Mango suddenly recalled one person.

It was the woman whom she thought that Nathaniel was having an affair with within A City. In the end, the same woman had drowned in the sea.

Her heart couldn't help but a beat when she remembered this. However, she did not ask Nathaniel about it again.

Therefore, this meant that she had to deal with this issue secretly.

"Then I'll bring Rita to Morgan's place later. Everyone knows about our relationship, so they can't make random assumptions about our background. However, I'm worried that Esther can't accept the truth." On the other hand, Nathaniel felt a little conflicted because of Mango's suggestion.

It would be best if Mango didn't go out right, but Morgan hoped that she could help take care of his family. However, Emberly and Genevieve couldn't go over, so Mango was the only person who could help them now.

On the other hand, Lebanon had mentioned before that Bernard intended to target Mango. Therefore, this was his best opportunity to do so.

Alas! Nathaniel had never felt so conflicted in his entire life.

"I'll go over then. You should stay here."

He pondered for a moment before he made this decision.

Of course, Mango knew what he was thinking. She stretched out her hand and held his hand as she said, "Don't worry about me. If Bernard really wants to target me, he'll find an opening no matter what. We can't just keep hiding from him, right? Take the explosion that happened recently as an example. No one thought that he would start dealing with us by taking over the nearby workshop, nor did we predict that he would take advantage of Newell's habit accurately and use it to his advantage. Therefore, we can't hide from the inevitable. I can't just stay indoors forever just to avoid Bernard's scheme,s can I? Besides, if we don't give him a chance, how would we get an opportunity to fight back?"

After hearing what Mango had said, Nathaniel knew that she was right, but he was uneasy and worried at the thought of Mango acting as their bait.

"By the way, did you find out about the truth behind the explosion? Does Newell really have nothing to do with it?"

Mango quickly replied upon hearing this question, "That doesn't matter. I know what you're worried about, and I understand you're worried that I'll misunderstand. After all, Newell's identity is a little awkward. But, Nathan, Newell is really a good man. Also, I can still tell if a person lies to me. Oh yes, now that you brought up Newell, I remember something. Please give the international prison some money and ask them to allow Newell to visit Sisi. No matter how evil she is, she is still pregnant with the offspring of the Powell Family. We have to consider this."

Nathaniel nodded in reply.

"You're right, it's almost the new year, so they should have a reunioin. I'll handle this, and it should only take about two days at most. However, if there is a blizzard, and the snow ends up piling on the road, it won't be easy to get out of the city. Plus, It's a critical period now, so I'll make the necessary arrangements."

His phone rang as soon as he finished his words.

However, Mango had a bad feeling when she heard his phone ringing.

Then, Nathaniel looked downward, and he had an upset expression on his face.

"What's the matter?"

Mango was instantly alerted when she saw this.

"It's a call from the international prison."

Nathaniel answered the call immediately after he finished speaking. He was afraid that Mango would be worried, so he placed the call on the loudspeaker.

"Hello, Mr. Ye. We're calling from the international prison."

"I'm listening."

Nathaniel's tone was calm and collected as he said this.

The other party whispered lowly, "Mr. Ye, Sisella attempted to escape from the prison, but she failed. Then she broke her bowl without our knowledge and used the fragments to commit suicide. She has been sent to the hospital for emergency care, but the situation is a little critical. She is still seven months pregnant, and we are afraid that anything untoward might happen. Therefore, we're informing you about this to see if you can send someone here to take over this situation."

Mango was instantly dumbfounded when she heard this.

Was Sisella out of her mind?

Didn't she know that she was pregnant?

How could she take her life so lightly?

Mango knew that Sisella didn't want to die. She only did this so that she could get a chance to escape from prison. In other words, she wanted to get a chance to meet Newell. After all, she was pregnant with Newell's baby.

In fact, Newell loved Sisella deeply. Everyone could tell that once Sisella told Newell about her thoughts, she could easily influence his decision and get him to change his mind. Hah! Sisella was indeed Laney's daughter. She was using the same ruthless tricks and methods that her mother did!

Mango looked extremely upset when she thought about it.

At this moment, it was impossible to stop Newell from visiting Sisella. After all, Sisella was still Newell's legal wife, and she was pregnant with the child of the Powell family. Nathaniel scrunched his eyes brows as well after hearing this news.

"How much can she bleed from cutting herself with a bowl fragment?"

"Mr. Ye, Sisella was quite a professional. She chose to cut a major artery."

Nathaniel's face instantly darkened at the other party's words.

Urgh! Sisella was so cunning!

If she stayed in prison obediently, Nathaniel would probably allow her to come home when she gave birth. After all, they were relatives by blood.

However, it was a pity that he underestimated Sisella's ambitious intentions.

A trace of pain flashed across Nathaniel's eyes at this thought.

Why couldn't he live in peace with his family?

Why did things have to escalate this way?

Suddenly, a pair of soft hands patted the back of Nathaniel's palm. Then, his desolate heart was instantly warmed when he saw her concerned eyes.

Fortunately, he still had Mango and his children.

"Got it. I'll make the arrangements as soon as possible."

After that, Nathaniel hung up the call and whispered, "I'm afraid I have to go over."

"No! I won't allow you to do so!"

Mango quickly tried to stop him while a worried expression filled her gaze.
