The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)
Chapter 1203

"What's wrong?"

Rainie looked back after hearing the noise and happened to see Nathaniel throwing his phone. The corners of her mouth twitched, and she said, "Mango, you have to keep an eye on Nathaniel! Your family is rich, but you shouldn't tolerate his spendthrift behaviour. Urgh! How did you even fall for such a spendthrift in the first place?"

At that moment, Nathaniel frowned slightly and glanced at Thomas. His gaze sent a chill down Thomas's spine.

"Uh... Rainie, mine your own business..."

Rainie saw that Thomas became so timid just because Nathaniel pressured him, so she couldn't help but say, "You'd better not get angry at my husband, or I'll ask Mango to kick you."

At that instant, rage pulsed through Nathaniel's veins.

Meanwhile, Mango knew that Nathaniel was not in a stable mood, and he couldn't control his emotions if someone provoked him now. So, she quickly pulled Rainie and said, "Alright, you just got married today so don't get too worked up. Besides, Mr. Ye even asked me to give you the film company! So you should let him be!"

"Fine, I'll do that for your sake."

Rainie said fearlessly.

Soon, the two of them went back to their own topic again.

Meanwhile, Thomas said awkwardly, "Mr. Ye, as you know, Rainie has quite a temper..."

"I wasn't trying to argue with her. Besides, she's Mango's best friend, and I'll never upset my wife. It's just that I suddenly thought of someone."

"Who?"

"Carmel Liu."

Nathaniel's voice was soft, but Mango heard it at that instant.

Carmel!

She was the bodyguard that her grandfather assigned to her. However, Mango sent her overseas for an investigation at that time because of an issue. Thus, the latter didn't manage to make it back in time to celebrate the new year.

In fact, Mango had almost entirely forgotten about her if Nathaniel didn't mention her.

Now that she heard Nathaniel mentioned this, Mango recalled his attitude toward Brantley. At that moment, she knew deep down that Nathaniel no longer trusted Brantley.

Mango believed that Brantley wouldn't harm Nathaniel, but she was starting to have doubts about this now. Since there was now a barrier between Nathaniel and Brantley, Mango could certainly no longer use Carmel as her bodyguard.

She sighed before picking up her phone to send Carmel a message.

"Come back to find Ned after you've completed the task and manage the house chores with him. My husband and I will go on a vacation, and it's not convenient for us to take you along. Just wait for me to come back."

Meanwhile, Carmel was stunned when she received the Whatsapp message.

She was completely abandoned by her employer, so she was quite upset. Well, to be fair, Mango didn't completely ditch her as she at least told her to find Ned.

Carmel thought of Ned, that dumbass, and she frowned as he replied, "Got it. Be careful during your journey. You can call me anytime if you need my help." "Alright."

Then, Mango ended their conversation.

Meanwhile, Nathaniel didn't know that Mango had already made arrangements, so he said to Thomas, "Get someone to watch her and ask Ned to assign her a job when she comes back. It would be best if she could stay within our sight."

Surprisingly, Mango and Nathaniel had the same idea regarding this matter.

Then, Thomas nodded.

As they spoke, their car had arrived at the underground parking lot of a building.

Mango and Rainie looked up before they found that they were at Nocturnal Centrum. It was an iconic building in Ocean City as it brightened up the night with colorful lights. However, it was different from the red light district as people here came here for leisure activities. It was similar to a clubhouse, but they allowed more activities here.

"D*mn it, is this building under Mr. Ye's name too?"

Rainie was envious of the rich now.

Urgh! Nathaniel was way too affluent!

She heard that the business trades that took place in Nocturnal Centrum were worth more than a million dollars per night. In fact, this was an area where the rich would spend their money without needing to worry about their balances!

However, Nathaniel smiled and said, "Nocturnal Centrum belongs to Thomas."

"What? It's my husband's?"

Rainie was completely shocked to hear this.

She knew that Thomas had some funds and a few companies like Ornota Group, but she did not expect him to own the most iconic building in Ocean City. At that instant, Rainie felt incredibly lucky she had married a secret millionaire!

Meanwhile, Thomas saw the burning glint in his wife's eyes, so he said shyly, "I own Nocturnal Centrum in legal terms, but Mr. Ye is the official owner. We each hold 30% and 70% of the shares respectively."

"Who's the one with 70% of the shares?"

At that moment, Rainie's avaricious gaze instantly amused Thomas.

"Mr. Ye holds 30% of the shares, while we have the remaining 70%." "D*mn, I'm rich!"

Rainie jumped up childishly as she said this.

"Quick, hubby, tell me! How else are you making money? Are you hiding anything else from me?"

Then, Thomas held Rainie in his arms and said with a smile, "Look at you, you are such a money-grubber! Mr. Ye was the one who built Nocturnal Centrum, and I'm just the manager. Nevertheless, Mr. Ye gave us 70% of the profits. Besides, I started other companies like Ornota Group only by following Mr. Ye. So, in literal terms, I only have around a few billion dollars worth of property under my name." "Wow! Hubby, you are amazing."

Rainie and Thomas were flirting with each other when Nathaniel got out of the car. He held Mango's hand and brought her to the entrance of Nocturnal Centrum with the kids. Then, he said with a smile, "Do you like this place?"

Mango was deeply astonished as she looked at the towering skyscraper.

"I heard that the rich make business deals worth millions here, but the poor can never come in. Wow! I can't believe that you and Thomas were the ones who started this business."

"Money is just a number to me, so that's why I let Thomas earn 70 percent of the profit. Also, what I want is not the interest gained from Nocturnal Centrum."

Nathaniel's voice was not loud, but it stunned Mango.

"Ah? What other purposes does this centrum serve?"

"It's a place where I can retrieve loads of information as it gathers various data. At the same time, it provides an underground transportation system. We can leave Ocean City through this centrum even if the borders of the country are restricted."

At that moment, Nathaniel's words shocked Mango.

"Do the higher- ups of Nocturnal Centrum know about this?"

"Hehl Do you think that I'll let my superiors know? I've already been working for so many years, so I can't reveal all my trump cards to others. So, no one knows the real purpose of this centrum except Thomas."

After saying that, Nathaniel grabbed Mango's hand and walked in without hesitation.

When Thomas saw Nathaniel went in with Mango and the kids, he quickly said to Rainie, "Alright, get out of the car now. We'll need to send Mr. Ye and the others off first."

"Are they in trouble?"

Rainie wasn't entirely clueless, but she had chosen not to ask about it. That was because she was upset that she had to part with Mango. Now, she couldn't suppress her emotions as she held Thomas. So, Thomas nodded and said, "Let's see them off first. We won't know if they will ever come back to Ocean City again."

"They will surely come back, right?"

Rainie's voice trembled as she asked this.

Then, Thomas patted her back gently and whispered, "Yes, they will. Ned and I are here, so no matter what happens, we will make sure that Mr. Ye and his wife come back safely." "Alright..."

Rainie withdrew from Thomas's embrace before entering Nocturnal Centrum with Nathaniel and the others.

There was an exclusive elevator that belonged to Nathaniel and Thomas in Noctural Centrum.

Nathaniel scanned his fingerprint and face before the elevator opened.

"This elevator is so high-tech..."

Rainie was a little curious about it.

Then, Thomas whispered, "No one can access this elevator as it recognizes only my and Mr. Ye's fingerprint and face."

"That's incredible!"

At that moment, Rainie realized that she never thought that things like these could exist because she was poor.

Soon, the elevator reached the 18th floor.

After that, Nathaniel walked out along with the

others.

There were mirrors inlaid with gems and diamonds everywhere, and they were all reflecting the light, so it was a dazzling scene!

"D*mn... Are you guys trying to show off your wealth?"

Rainie said as she took a step forward before Thomas pulled her back.

"What's wrong?"

"Follow me, and don't wander around in this area."

Thomas's tone was a little serious.

Meanwhile, neither Mango nor Nathaniel moved as he looked at Mango with a smile and asked, "What did you see?"

"Does this area have an octagon formation?"

Mango didn't realize it at first. However, she looked at the gems and diamonds in the mirror for a while before she found that the shape of the diamonds made up an octagon.

At that moment, Nathaniel's smile widened.

"My wife is so smart! Follow me, or else, you might end up on a different floor if you take the wrong way. Well, you'll get into trouble if you meet our enemies!"

After saying that, Nathaniel held Mango's hand tightly.

Meanwhile, Zion and Wisdom held Rita's hand and followed closely behind Nathaniel. The three of them didn't speak much along the way.

On the other hand, Rainie followed Thomas.

All of them went through the mirrored corridor, and a door appeared out of nowhere.

Then, Nathaniel scanned his face and went in directly.

There were several men in black working inside.

In fact, the vast space seemed like an underground palace. It was filled with both refined and raw gemstones, and Mango was speechless when she saw how all the gems were gleaming.

"Are these all diamonds?"

"Yeah, we shipped them from Africa, and many haven't been refined yet. Here are some of the end products, while those are unprocessed. Next to them are the defective ones. Nevertheless, we can still sell the defective ones at a good price. Meanwhile, we will action the perfect gems on the 21st floor."

Thomas explained behind them.

Mango had always known that Nathaniel was rich, but she did not know exactly how wealthy he was.

At this moment, she almost fainted as she looked at the piles of diamonds.

However, Nathaniel had no interest in these gems as he passed through the area with his wife and children.

Then, Tte men in black immediately bowed to Nathaniel respectfully.

"Hello, Mr. Ye!"

"Pick a few people to guard us in the dark and ensure our safety at all times."

Someone went to make arrangements as Nathaniel ordered just as he finished speaking.

Later, they arrived at an office after walking past the diamond warehouse.

The decoration in the office totally suited Nathaniel's taste.

In an instant, Zion noticed a multipurpose computer that was connected to several big screens.

Was this the control room?

There was a hint of excitement in Zion's eyes as he thought about this.

At that moment, Nathaniel said with a smile, "Do you like this place?"

"Yes! I like it a lot!"

Zion didn't hide his eagerness.

Then, Nathaniel grinned and said, "I'll give them all to you if you like them. In fact, I have the world's top technology and data record here. With that, you can hack any websites you want."

"Really?"

Zion didn't quite believe it.

"Well, you can try it. I've modified the connections here, and it's quite secure. So, no expert can track our signal from outside. Also, the server's address is abroad, so no one would be able to pinpoint our location."

Then, Nathaniel sat down before turning on the computer. At that instant, the several big screens that were linked to it switched on in a flash too. Then, data from all over the globe popped up on the screens.

Zion was really surprised, and he walked over as he became excited. However, before he could start exploring, he saw Nathaniel hacking into the national security system of M Country instantly.

At that moment, Zion narrowed his eyes.

What was Mr. Ye trying to do?
