The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)
Chapter 1202

A trace of coldness and irony flashed in Nathaniel's eyes.

"Do I have a choice?"

At that moment, Thomas's eyes were filled with sadness upon hearing Nathaniel's words.

"Mr. Ye, I will obey your orders! I will follow you no matter what decision you make and never regret it."

Thomas said this with a determined gaze.

Previously, Nathaniel went all out and saved him from death, so he had would do anything for Nathaniel willingly to repay this debt.

However, Nathaniel patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't be stupid! Thomas, you're a man with a family now, so keep your eye on Rainie and think about your future. You should protect her from now on."

"Uh... Mr. Ye, I want to protect you too."

Thomas's eyes were a little teary as he said this

After all, he wouldn't have such a happy marriage if it weren't for Nathaniel.

Nevertheless, Nathaniel shook his head and said, "No one can protect me for my entire life, except for my wife and children, as they'll be by my side forever. So, Thomas, you should leave after this incident ends. You have enough money for you and Rainie to live a good life in the future. Also, Rainie and Mango may be very close, but we'd better not contact you for the time being until we settle all our issues. I will let Clarissa manage the film and television company that Mango owns. So, Rainie doesn't need to worry about her future. Other than that, Mango and I will be utterly grateful if you can live a happy life with Rainie."

At that instant, Thomas's eyes were red, and he almost shed tears.

"Mr. Ye, you're leaving Ocean City in such a hurry, and you even let Ned take over all your business! I guess you must have encountered a big issue that cannot be solved easily, isn't it? So, how could I be so disloyal to abandon you at this time?"

However, Nathaniel held his hand tightly and whispered, "I'm using your connections, aren't I? I've sent all my family members out of the place through your connections, right?"

"Still, I want to protect you..."

"I've already said that Rainie should be the person you protect in the future. Thomas, you're a man, and every man must protect their wife. So, you shouldn't let your wife go through many sufferings, just like what I did. Rainie is a nice girl, and she's a friend whom I care about. So, listen to me and treat her well. Besides, it would be inappropriate for us to be with you during your honeymoon trip. Anyway, don't worry as I'll call you once this issue is settled. Make sure you come and meet us by then!"

Nathaniel said this as the corner of his lips raised into a smile. Meanwhile, Thomas felt emotional when he saw how confident Nathaniel looked.

He knew very well that Nathaniel would be extremely calm if the latter was in a dire situation.

Therefore, he wanted to be there for Nathaniel if the latter were going through some hardships. However, he also knew that once Nathaniel had made a decision, no one could change his mind. Then, Thomas nodded, although he felt upset.

Meanwhile, Mango and Rainie were gossiping about everything that had happened to them in the past few days. Thus, they didn't hear what Nathaniel whispered to Thomas behind their backs at all. "I've listened to your album, and it's really good! Did Ares mention when the next album will be released?"

When Mango saw how successful Rainie was doing in the entertainment industry, she felt that she had made the right decision back then.

She could resume her position as a designer anytime, but it was not possible for her to help Rainie out all the time.

Similarly, Rainie felt excited deep down as she had managed to gain such achievements. After all, she had never expected this to happen.

'Ares said that he would start writing new songs after the New Year so he told me to take good care of my voice."

"You must work hard then! Yes! I can show off to everyone that my best friend, Rainie, is a singer! D*mn, I feel so happy just thinking about it!"

At that instant, Mango and Rainie burst into laughter.

Suddenly, Nathaniel said, "Mango, look, Thomas and Rainie will be boarding the airplane today, but we're going for a trip. Anyhow, we can't leave without giving them any gifts, can we? Well, I see that your film and television company is developing well now, so why don't you give it to Rainie as a gift?"

Then, Mango and Rainie were slightly stunned to hear this.

"No, I can't have it, Mango poured in her blood, sweat, and tears..."

Rainie refused directly.

Meanwhile, Mango found it rather strange.

Nathaniel never interfered in her own business, let alone ask her to give away her own company.

The Ye family could choose many things more valuable than her film and television company if they wanted to send gifts to Thomas and Rainie. So, why did Nathaniel do this?

Did Nathaniel have other intentions?

Nevertheless, Mango's only thought about it for a moment.

She smiled in an instant and said, "Of course! I set up the film and television company all for you, Rainie. Now, you're part of the entertainment industry, so it'd be better for you to own a company. After all, the entertainment industry is complicated, and it will take some time until Thomas can protect you completely. Also, Clarissa is Nathaniel's subordinate, so you can be at ease if she's the one managing the film and television company for you. Besides, I started the company all for you in the first place. Now, you have achieved such results, so it shows that my efforts didn't go to waste. To be honest, I'm not very good at business, and I plan to start designing again. So, can you help me clean up my mess?"

Mango had expressed her intentions very explicitly. On the other hand, Rainie had known Mango for so many years, so she could tell how stubborn Mango was. At that instant, Rainie started tearing up. "Mango, stop flattering me this much! I know it clearly that you started the film and television company all for me. Now, you even want me to take over the company... Well, you just want me to owe you all my life, don't you?"

"I swear to God that I never thought that way!"

Mango immediately stretched out her hand to wipe away the tears at the corner of Rainie's eyes as she said this. Then, she hugged Rainie and whispered, "We are best friends, so you can take whatever I give you. Nathan and I are leaving this place, and I don't know if we can ever return. If we can't come back, I'll need you to take care of my things. Then, you can give whatever I own to my children when they grow up, okay?"

She said these words softly, so only Rainie could hear her clearly. At that moment, Rainie's face suddenly darkened.

"Mango, what do you mean?"

"Shh, ignore what I said and don't ask anything further. Rainie, Nathan and I have our issues to settle. There are some things that I can't explain to you clearly, but I hope that you'll lead a good life no matter where I go. Anyway, I'm relieved to see that you've married Thomas as we all know how kind he is. Just promise me that you'll stay happy for the rest of your life, whether I'm around or not. If possible, I would sacrifice my happiness for you too."

Mango smiled, but there were tears in her eyes.

She could tell that there was something wrong with this trip and that Nathaniel seemed to be hiding something from her. In fact, she felt that a serious incident was about to befall them in this place.

Nevertheless, this was all just her speculation. It was not until Nathaniel told her to give the film and television company to Rainie that she realized that perhaps she could not be able to return safely to Ocean City after leaving this time.

Hence, Nathaniel was probably arranging for other people to take over her business in Ocean City.

At that moment, Mango was finally at ease deep down after figuring it out.

Well, she harboured no fear about her future as long as she could be with Nathaniel.

Meanwhile, Rainie didn't know what happened to Mango and Nathaniel as she didn't hear any news. However, she felt anxious deep down when she heard what Mango had said. At that instant, she realized that she could only help Mango whenever the latter needed it when she was influential enough.

Therefore, if she cried and begged Mango to stay right now, it would be useless!

In the past, she didn't know why would so many things happen to Mango after her marriage. Later, she entered the entertainment industry and experienced some hardships. Then, even though the poor though that the rich always lived glamorous lives, Rainie had realised that this was not true.

There were only betrayals and schemes in the rich families, so they had to plan every step they took carefully.

Now, Rainie was not strong enough to be Mango's right-hand man, but she was confident that she could work hard to be one. If Mango was destined to face countless obstacles in her future, then Rainie would be by her side and help her out.

Anyhow, the friendship between Mango and Rainie would never end. In fact, they would be able to reunite in happiness, even though they had to separate temporarily for now.

At that moment, countless emotions and thoughts ran through Rainie's mind. Then, she hugged Mango tightly before letting the latter go.

She smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'll accept your gift and take over the film and television company."

"Alright."

In truth, Mango had always wanted to help Rainie, but she knew how prideful the latter was. Now, Rainie had found her love and was married to a good man. Denver was also on the right track in life, so Mango could finally let go of her worries on them.

Later, they chatted on other topics. Their laughter and noise filled the car in an instant, and it created a harmonious and warm atmosphere in the car. Meanwhile, Nathaniel kept staring at Mango.

His wife was in high spirits, just like how she was when she gave speeches in her university.

Nathaniel had never told Mango that he went to see her each time she participated in a speech competition during her university years. However, he went and left in such a hurry that very few people saw him. At that time, Mango was as radiant as the brightest star in the sky, just as how she was now. Her confidence could attract everyone's attention, so everyone couldn't help but fall for her.

On the other hand, Thomas did not disturb them. He sat quietly next to them as he took out his phone to settle some matters.

Suddenly, Nathaniel's phone rang.

It appeared that Noah had sent him a WhatsApp text.

"Have you left?"

"Not yet."

Nathaniel responded instantly.

At that moment, Noah became anxious.

"People are guarding our country and air borders. Also, someone went to the Ye family and Xiao family houses to look for you. If I'm not mistaken, they might be monitoring your phones as well. So, you'd better discard your phone after my call. As you know, you can contact me anytime without a mobile phone if you need to."

"Got it."

At that instant, Nathaniel's eyes turned cold.

Well, the military had taken action quickly!

Had they already sent their men to guard the borders?

Ha!

They had totally underestimated him.

It would impossible for them to control and defeat Nathaniel as they pleased as he was the uncrowned king of Ocean City!

Previously, he had always abode by the rules as he was also a soldier. Well, to be frank, he had followed all these rules willingly. Now, Morgan was under investigation, and there was no one else he needed to think about. So, why should Nathaniel abide by their rules willingly?

In fact, Nathaniel didn't give a d*mn as he refused to cooperate with the investigation, nor did he want to settle Longford County's past issues!

At the thought of this, Nathaniel smiled evilly before he threw the phone out of the window directly.

The car behind them couldn't dodge this, so the driver drove across the phone directly, and it broke into pieces immediately...
