The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)
Chapter 1162

Wisdom, her son!

At this thought, Mango ran inside to search for Wisdom.

"What's wrong?"

When Nathaniel saw Mango's panicked expression, he couldn't help but walk over and hold her gently.

"Have you seen Wisdom?"

Mango looked at Nathaniel and was somewhat comforted. After all, she felt safe whenever he was round.

Nathaniel furrowed his brows slightly when he heard Mango's question.

Where was Wisdom?

He went to the bathroom just now, but it seemed that he was taking too long.

"I'll look for him."

"I'll go with you then. Just now, Lebanon called and said that Bernard was going to target the people around us. He wanted me to keep an eye on the children. Then only I realized that Wisdom was missing. Argh! I'm such a bad mom. How could I forget about Wisdom? I should have accompanied him to the bathroom!"

Mango blamed her greatly for making this mistake.

Today was Walter's wedding. They had considered every single possibility and prepared to face them, but they never thought that their enemies would target their children!

Suddenly, Nathaniel noticed that Mango was on the verge of tears, so he consoled her hurriedly, "Hey, it's not your fault. You're only one person, so of course, you couldn't have thought about every single possibility! This is just an emergency, but I believe that Wisdom will be fine. Let's go have a look, alright?"

"Alright."

After that, the couple went to the bathroom in a hurry.

The wedding banquet was going on right now, so a lot of people were in the bathr om. However, to Nathaniel and Mango, this wasn't good news because sdom could be kidnapped without being noticed. Then, Nathaniel looked at Mango and whispered in a low voice, "Wait for me outside. I'll go in and have a look."

"Okay!"

Mango nodded in response.

After that, Nathaniel went in and searched everywhere in the bathroom, but he couldn't find Wisdom. However, he found the buttons of Wisdom's clothes on the ground.

His face darkened considerably when he saw this.

They had really kidnapped a child!

"Bernard Gaylord!

You'd better make sure my son is alive and well. Otherwise, I'll tear you apart even if I have to fight you in Angolla!"

Mango knew that her guess was right when she saw Nathaniel coming out of the bathroom without Wisdom.

"Let me find Wisdom then."

She spoke and was about to go outside, but Nathaniel stopped her.

"Wait, I don't think it's a good idea for you to leave the wedding ceremony. Besides, Bernard's men may be watching us. If their men didn't kidnap Wisdom, they might be more alert if we leave. So, I'm afraid it'll be more dangerous for Wisdom if we do so."

"However..."

Mango's mind was in complete chaos right now.

THen, Nathaniel held her tightly in his arms as he said in a low voice, "Mango, I know you are worried about Wisdom. I'm worried about him as well. But, this isn't the time to panic. Listen to me! We'll call your aunt because only she can solve this. If Bernard's men really kidnapped Wisdom, she would do something since she has been spying on Angolla for so many years. Furthermore, Bettany is Wisdom's master, so it'll be much better for them to look for him than for us to go on a wild goose chase."

Mango finally felt a little more relieved upon hearing Nathaniel's words.

"Yes, that's right, I can ask my aunt and Bettany for help. How could I forget about them?"

After saying this, Mango took out his phone and called Magnolia and Bettany as fast as she could. Then, she explained the situation briefly to them.

Magnolia replied said that she would help them. Once she found Wisdom, she would contact Mango as soon as possible. Furthermore, Bettany said the same thing as she had also thought of Wisdom as her

own soon.

After hanging up, Mango still felt a little uneasy.

The new year was around the corner, so Wisdom was only wearing thin clothing. Therefore, Mango didn't know if he would be freezing in those clothes.

On the other hand, Nathaniel was anxious as well, but he looked around and took Mango's hand while saying, "Let's go back. Others will be suspicious if we stay outside for too long." "Alright."

Mango nodded in agreement, but her eyes turned cold.

Bernard Gaylord!

This man needed to pay the price for all his ruthless actions!

After they returned to their seats, the atmosphere around them was filled with joy. However, no matter how hard Mango tried, she couldn't be happy anymore.

She knew that this wasn't fair for Walter and Deborah, but what could she do?

After all, her son was missing!

Right now, nothing mattered more than Wisdom.

On the other hand, Wisdom had passed out in the bathroom after someone had drugged him. After all, he had inhaled too much of the drug when he noticed that he was being drugged. After all, he was a child so his body couldn't resist the drugs. Therefore, he had sworn angrily before he fainted.

When he woke up again, he was already in a car.

The vehicle was shaking as it moved. His hands and feet were tied, and his mouth was stuffed with a rag. Therefore, right now, he looked like those kidnapping victims that he had seen on TV.

At this thought, Wisdom felt like rolling his eyes.

The vehicle was a cheap van that stank of fish. Besides, he was bound with such rough ropes that his hands and feet felt like burning.

The people who had kidnapped him were a group of idiots!

Wisdom shook his head hard. Then he heard the two men in front of the van talking.

"Man, do you think we'll really be paid by kidnapping this kid? Today is Mr. Song's wedding, and those who are attending are big shots. Also, this kid looks so well-dressed. Could he be the son of a rich family?" "It doesn't matter who he is since it's none of your business. Someone paid us to kidnap him, so we'll do as they say. We have no choice since you're deep in debt, right? If we don't kidnap him, do you want them to sever our limbs instead? We're just people who deliver seafood to the kitchen, so no one will ever find out that we did it."

The driver said while cursing.

Urgh! Wisdom felt that he had such bad luck.

It was fine if a professional had kidnapped him. However, how could he let a seafood seller kidnap him? If words of this got out, how could he maintain his perfect reputation?

Then, Wisdom struggled against the ropes to the best of his might, but he couldn't break free. He tried hard to calm down. Then he remembered how his instructor had taught them to free themselves out of rope during his military training.

He followed that method slowly, and it didn't take long before he managed to untie the rope on his hand.

However, Wisdom did not alert the people at the front.

He took out a tiny bottle from his pocket and wrapped the rag that was previously in his mouth around his mouth and nose. Then, he removed the cap of the bottle.

A faint fragrance wafted from the bottle into the air.

"Huh? What kind of smell is this? It smells so good! Dude, can you smell it?"

The man, who had a heavy debt, asked.

Wisdom was afraid that they would discover that he had woken up, so he quickly laid there with his eyes closed and pretended to be unconscious.

The other man noticed the smell as well.

He parked the van and took a glance at the back of the vehicle. Then, she saw that Wisdom was still unconscious, so he said in confusion, "That's weird. What's this smell? Did this kid from a wealthy family pu on some perfume? Hmm, I didn't notice that when we kidnapped him."

"Oh, man, we kidnapped him in the bathroom. At that moment, we can only smell poop, right? Moreover, our van reeks of seafood, so we probably couldn't smell any perfume just now. We've rolled down the window now, so we can smell his perfume."

The man who was in debt answered.

Obviously, both of them did not take Wisdom seriously at all.

After all, a four-year-old kid like him was nothing in the eyes of the two strong adults.

Although one of the men was still doubtful, he couldn't spot any other problems. He simply slapped his partner- in- crime on the head and whispered, "Who asked you to open the window? What if the kid wakes up because of the wind?"

"Urgh! It's too suffocating if we keep the window closed. This van smells like fish."

"Nah, you're just too picky."

The man replied angrily. However, he suddenly felt a little dizzy.

"Dude, are you feeling a little light-headed?" As soon as he finished speaking, he saw his accomplice falling onto the co-pilot seat.

"Hey! Wake up!"

He realized that something was amiss, but before he could open the car door, he stumbled and fell onto the steering wheel.

When Wisdom saw them falling, he quickly opened the door and got out of the van. Then, he ran in one direction at his fastest speed.

Right now, he probably should be in the suburbs.

Wisdom didn't know how anxious Nathaniel and Mango would be when he was missing. Therefore, he wanted to phone them and inform them of his situation.

Therefore, he continued running until he saw a small wooden house. It appeared that some people who lived in the mountains were staying in it.

However, Wisdom couldn't care less about this, so he rushed to knock on the door for help.

However, to his surprise, Desmond opened the door.

On the other hand, Desmond was shocked to see Wisdom.

"Wait! Wisdom, why are you here?" "Mr. Blu? It's great to see you, Mr. Blu! I... I was kidnapped, and I just managed to escape from them! Please call daddy and mommy so that they won't worry about me." Wisdom said as he panted.

"Come on in then."

Desmond knew that the situation was serious when he heard what Wisdom had said.

He brought Wisdom into the room, but Victoria stared at them with her hands akimbo and said, "Where did this kid come from? Throw him out! This hut is so small that there's not even enough space for us, so why did you bring a little boy with you? Desmond, are you messing with me? You know who got us into this situation! In fact, we wouldn't be living in such a shabby hut if you were more competent!" "That's enough! Keep your mouth to yourself."

Suddenly, Josiah reprimanded Victoria in an irritated manner.

After Nathaniel had thrown them out of the villa that night, multiple companies had blacklisted them immediately.

No matter where Desmond went, no one would hire him. In fact, there was not even a hotel or a homestay that would take them in. There wasn't even a person who would rent a room to them! They had no other choice, so Desmond had brought them to the mountains. The mountain guards had left a small hut here, and they could only stay here temporarily to get some rest.

On the other hand, Josiah was a man who focused his life on nothing but experiments. Therefore, he was upset because he had not touched his experiment equipment for a few days. Right now, Victoria was still yelling every single day, which depleted whatever little patience and virtue that he had.

When Victoria heard Josiah scolding her while she was trying to discipline Desmond, she couldn't help but raise her voice.

"Hey! What do you mean? How could you take the freak's side and bully me like this? Let me make this clear, I'm the closest person to you. I'm your wife!"

"Shut the hell up! I'll hit you if you keep shouting!"

Josiah truly had enough of this situation.

As soon as Victoria heard that Josiah was threatening to hit her, she took action immediately.

"Huh? Are you planning to hit me? How could you be so cruel? Look at the miserable state that you're in now! Who would be willing to take care of you except for me?"

The two of them were on top of each other quickly as they wrestled.

Meanwhile, Desmond just looked at them nonchalantly before he took Wisdom to another room. He whispered, "This is my phone. Quick, call Mr. Ye and Mrs. Ye. Tell them that everything is fine. That will cease their worries."

"Thank you very much, Mr. Blu."

After saying that, Wisdom took the phone from Desmond. However, before he could dial a number, Victoria rushed in and snatched the phone away from him.

"Wait, is this Mr. Ye's son? I mean, Nathaniel's son? Desmond, are you out of your mind? Nathaniel made life hell for us, but you still want to give his son back to him? Are you dumb or are you insane?"
