The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)
Chapter 1151

"Huh? Why can't I do that?"

Nathaniel questioned, but he felt comforted when he saw Mango's worried gaze.

"You are still under investigation right now. If you go to the international prison, this will make things more complicated. If this is Bernard's plan all along, won't you be walking into a trap? He wants other people to blackmail you right now! Although I don't care whether you retire or not, I don't want to see you retire embarrassingly after being set up by Bernard! Besides, if you leave, I will be worried about your safety. Why did Sisella choose this timing to commit suicide? She obviously is still in contact with Bernard!"

After that, Mango said a lot of things in one breath, so she was a little thirsty.

Therefore, Nathaniel quickly handed her a glass of warm water.

Then, Mango took a sip before she continued, "Urgh! Bernard is so vicious! I can't believe that he infiltrated the International Prison with his men."

"Nah, he isn't as great as you think he is. The international prison only wants money. As long as he can afford the payment, he can do anything he likes. Well, I think that he could want Sisella to die there too. If that happens, he doesn't need to be legally responsible for the murder."

Nathaniel said this lightly. It seemed that he was not surprised by this outcome.

Something, Mango recalled something, so she told him what Addison had found out about Nathaniel.

Nathaniel was momentarily stunned after hearing this.

"Wait, is Bernard the son of Angolla's emperor?"

"Yes, I learnt about this just now. In fact, my undercover agent risked his life to tell me about this!"

Then, Mango said worriedly, "Nathan, I plan to let my undercover agent, Henry, come back after the new year."

"Sure. But about going to the international prison this time..."

"We'll send Newell. If he is loyal to you, he will stay loyal. If he is a traitor, we will know his true colours. This can be considered a test for him. If Newell betrays you for Sisella, why don't you just let them be? Then, Newell won't be in a dilemma. Sisella no longer poses a threat to us, but are you willing to remove her from your life?"

A trace of sadness flash across Nathaniel's eyes when he heard Mango's words.

He wrapped Mango in his arms and said in a low voice, "As long as all of you are by my side safely, the other people aren't that important."

"Hey, it's alright."

Mango patted Nathaniel lovingly as she comforted him.

After all, both of them had mixed feelings about this.

After that, Nathaniel ate some food as Mango insisted on it. Then, he decided to go to Morgan's place.

Mango was right. Since Bernard was targeting them on purpose, it was not feasible for them to keep avoiding him.

"Oh right, I have a feeling that Bernard is coveting some items in the Ye family. Otherwise, why would he target us repeatedly? Furthermore, it seems that he is determined to defeat the Ye family." Nathaniel did not care much about Mango's words.

However, he whispered softly, "It doesn't matter. We'll see how it goes. I was going to enjoy the new year, but these people really won't stop creating trouble for us."

"That's right, and we should bring Rita along too. Bjorn is nice to Rita. However, Morgan is in trouble now. I don't know how Bjorn is doing, but Rita might be of help if she goes over." "That's a great idea!"

After hearing Mango's words, Nathaniel brought Rita and Mango with him and left the house.

Although Brantley was still worried, he couldn't say anything since Nathaniel was with them.

On the way, Mango was complaining about Walter being lovey-dovey with his wife in front of her. A gleam passed in Nathaniel's eyes as he said calmly, "It's okay. We've already bullied him countless times, so it's fine if he wants to repay the favour once."

"Huh?"

Mango was quite surprised to hear this.

This wasn't right!

Since when did Nathaniel become so kind and agreeable?

However, maybe Nathaniel decided to let it slide as he remembered that Walter was Mango's cousin?

At this thought, Mango decided to put this matter aside.

Meanwhile, Rita was silent along the way, and she only listened to their conversation quietly. She was so well-behaved that Mango thought that Rita's personality had completely changed.

When the family of three arrived the Morgan's house, there were a lot of guards standing at the door. Although they didn't say a thing, Mango felt intimidated because this place reminded them of a prison. However, the prison was Morgan's home itself.

This was the military compound, so it was impossible for anyone inside to get out.

When Mango thought of how the wife of an excellent man like Morgan had been treated like this, she couldn't help but feel wistful.

Then, she stole a glance at Nathaniel.

She was already this upset even though she was a stranger. Therefore, what about Nathaniel, who had gone through life and death with Morgan, think?

"I'm fine."

Obviously, Nathaniel knew what was on Mango's mind. So, he held her hand gently.

When Rita heard this, her eyebrows furrowed slightly, but she stayed silent. Thus, no one knew what she was thinking.

After that, Mango and Nathaniel went forward, but no one tried to stop them. Therefore, Mango was stunned to see this.

"They are soldiers trained by Morgan, so they won't cause any trouble for us."

Nathaniel answered immediately to resolve her doubts.

Mango nodded in response.

They bumped into Esther when they entered the house. Apparently, the people in the house had received wind that they were visiting. Meanwhile, Mango expected that Esther would or appear haggard, but she was wrong. Instead, Esther seemed strong and determined. "Ah, all of you are here! Have a seat. What drinks do you prefer?"

Esther greeted them enthusiastically as she asked, and she looked the same as before.

However, Mango stopped her in a hurry.

"Esther, don't worry about it. We're only here to see you. Are you alright?"

On the other hand, Esther smiled calmly in reply. Her small frame exuded a sense of strength that both Mango and Nathaniel couldn't ignore.

"I'm fine. Besides, I've already mentally prepared myself to face the problems that involve my husband. After all, they will need to investigate a lot of sensitive issues because of his job. As long as we are righteous, I believe the higher-ups will carry out a fair investigation. Therefore, he will be back soon as this situation is only temporary.

After seeing how determined Esther was, Mango felt that she was indeed an exemplary military spouse.

"Aunt, can I go to see Bjorn? I've brought him delicious chocolates."

Suddenly, Esther's attention shifted to Rita as the latter asked this question.

"Of course, darling! He is practising martial arts in the backyard, so you can visit him yourself."

"Got it!"

Rita nodded gracefully before she trotted to the backyard.

"Haha! This child likes to spend a lot of time with Bjorn indeed! I think we can even become in-laws." Esther mentioned jokingly.

Suddenly, Mango truly admired Esther. After all, the latter could even make jokes in such a situation!

"I guess we can't decide for our children. Let everything take its course. Well be delighted if we can become in-laws with your family. But if that doesn't happen, let's not have any regrets then." Obviously, Nathaniel loved his daughter very much. Although he knew that Esther was joking, he wouldn't make decisions for Rita.

On the other hand, Esther didn't take it to heart at all. After all, it was only a joke.

Meanwhile, Mango looked at Esther. The latter looked fine, but Mango knew that Esther was still worried. So she couldn't help but ask, "Is there any way for you to meet Morgan?"

"Well, I can't do anything because he's undergoing a military investigation. I miss him too, but I know he will be back soon."

When Mango saw that Esther was so confident, she couldn't help but ask worriedly, "Aren't you afraid that someone will cause more trouble for him?"

"Our enemies can only hurt Morgan for a short while, but they can't keep it up forever. After all, I know him well. He has always toed the line and followed his principles strictly. Now he is probably most worried about the children and me. Alas! I can't do anything but easing his mind. So, I'll be waiting for him at home obediently as this is the least I can do for him."

Mango was greatly stunned after hearing Esther's words.

Both of them had to have such deep feelings for each other! After all, how else could they remain to calm and continue to trust each other in the face of such danger?

She had always thought that Esther was a delicate woman who needed protection, but at this moment, she realized that the latter was mighty and tough.

"Esther, I came over to comfort you, but now I'm embarrassed by myself because you're so tough."

Mango spoke in a somewhat dejected tone.

However, Esther let out a smile at once.

"Hey, don't say that! I really need you to console me, so why don't you stay with me today? I just can't fall asleep alone! Is that okay, Mr. Ye?"

Esther teased Nathaniel as she asked.

Nathaniel coughed awkwardly as he said in reply, "Mango, you can stay if you want to do so. I have no objections."

"Haha! Listen to how jealous he sounds! Nah, you guys can leave. I won't keep her with me here."

Mango laughed instantly after hearing what Esther said.

"Esther, don't bully my husband!"

"What? Who's the bully here? I'm just a woman staying at home alone. How could both of you come here and show off your relationship in front

of me."

Esther said deliberately as if she had been wronged. However, Mango felt relieved after hearing this instead.

It seemed that Esther was still doing fine mentally. At the same time, Mango secretly thought to herself, "Is Morgan's case not as serious as I thought? Did they make a big deal of it so that they could lure out the mastermind? Is this all an act?"

However, Mango did not say her questions out loud.

When Mango saw that Esther was fine, she was about to stand up and leave.

"Let Rita stay with Bjorn to keep him company. After all, that child tends to overthink because he's concerned about his father."

Esther requested, and Mango did not object either. Besides, although Rita was usually a glutton, she was pretty determined when it came to other matters. This time, she had come to see Bjorn out of her own

will.

"Sure, I'll go and inform Rita then."

"I'll go instead. You can stay and chat with Esther."

Nathaniel saw that Mango was about to stand up, so he stood up hurriedly.

After Nathaniel walked outside, Mango smiled and said, "Alas! Nathan loves his daughter very much. There's nothing I can do about it."

"Naha! Men are all the same. Morgan acts the same way around Lonnie too."

Esther wore a faint smile, but there was a trace of concern in her eyes.

"Mango, I heard that after Nathaniel disbanded the Dark Night Empire, which was assembled by the higher-ups. However, you've established a brand new Dark Night Empire, is that right?" "Yeah, that's true."

Mango nodded in reply. However, she didn't quite understand why Esther was asking about this.

Esther bit her lower lip as she asked, "So does the Dark Night Empire carry out the same missions as before?"

"Esther, do you need my help with something? Just tell me directly as I'm pretty dimwitted. Sometimes I can't understand what you mean, so I can only understand what you want if you tell me about it."

Mango didn't speak in a loud voice, but she said each word clearly. In fact, she made sure that only both of them could hear about this conversation. Esther hesitated for a moment before she whispered a few words in Mango's ears. Suddenly, the latter's facial expression changed drastically.
