The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)
Chapter 1205

At that moment, Mango's eyes narrowed.

Was that Carter?

He was Walter's father!

Furthermore, he was also her uncle-in-law!

So, why was he here?

Mango saw that someone was pushing Carter away while he was protecting his head and begging pitifully. He seemed to have seen Mango from the corner of his eyes, but he didn't show any reaction. In fact, his gaze seemed empty, as if he wasn't focused on anything.

Previously, Mango heard that Carter was travelling abroad, and he didn't even show up when Walter got married. However, he appeared in such a small city out of nowhere now and lived so humbly. Did Walter do it on purpose?

Mango knew that Walter always treated Carter badly, but he probably wouldn't let him live such a lowly and lonely life.

So, Mango waved to the waiter.

The waiter was extremely respectful towards Mango as he hurriedly asked, "Mrs. Ye, what can I do for you?" "What happened to that man?"

Mango pointed at Carter and asked in a low voice.

Then, the waiter glanced at him and said, "He's just a cleaner here, but he's disabled and really clumsy, so we drove him out several times. However, he always comes back shamelessly. Also, the guests often have complaints about him, but some of them will give him tips after reprimanding him, so he continues living like this. Nevertheless, our manager just ignored him since he isn't a capable person. Anyway, did he disturb you? I'll ask the security guard to drive him out."

"Hold on."

Mango was really shocked and she hurriedly asked, "What happened to his leg? Did you guys hit him?"

Mango's eyes turned cold as she spoke, so the waiter started feeling stressed out.

"No, that's not it! We didn't do anything to him. Instead, he got drunk a few days ago and fell off the stairs. That day, we sent him to the hospital, but he ran away in the middle of the night. However, he showed up again after a few days. I think he's a single old man as we never saw anyone with him. Moreover, he has poor eyesight, so we just ignored him out of pity."

At that moment, Mango was stunned to hear what the waiter had said.

"What's wrong with his eyes?"

"I don't know... He can't see anything clearly, but I don't think it's because of a cataract. When we sent him to the hospital, the doctor said that it was because he consumed too many drugs. However, we still don't understand what happened."

When Mango heard that, she furrowed her brows.

Suddenly, someone pushed Carter to the ground and threw a stack of cash on his face.

Immediately, Carter kowtowed to the person. Thus, anyone would saw him right now wouldn't believe that he was the former president of Sminorf Corporation!

At this thought, Mango was very upset.

She took out her phone to take a picture of this scene before sending it to Walter.

She would not interfere in this matter if this was Walter's idea, but she felt sorry for Carter deep down.

Meanwhile, Walter was on his honeymoon trip with Deborah, so he had gone overseas. When he received the video from Mango at night, he was completely stunned. Immediately, he called Mango without consideration of her time zone.

"What happened? Who's bullying him?"

Walter's voice was eerily cold, but Mango let out a sigh of relief after hearing this.

"This wasn't your idea, right? Were you planning on humiliating him?"

"No! Do you think I'm crazy? I hate how he treated my mother, and I disliked him because he was too stupid as he was tricked by that woman. Moreover, he has always ignored me. However, he's still the one who gave me my life. Well, didn't he say that he went on a vacation? How did this happen? Anyway, tell me where you saw him, and I'll send someone to pick him up."

Walter said without a hitch and started tearing up.

He didn't like his father, but he didn't expect that the latter was leading such a miserable life.

Then, Mango said softly, "Well, this wasn't your idea, so I know what to do now. You're a newlywed, so you should enjoy your honeymoon without worrying about this. I'll take care of it."

"Help me find out where he lives now, and I will rush over with Deborah right away. She saw that video too and told me to take him home as he's my father after all."

Walter was determined, so Mango no longer stopped him.

After that, she carried Zion back and told Nathaniel about it. Then, Nathaniel sent someone to find Carter along with Mango.

Meanwhile, Wisdom and Rita were in the headquarters, so Nathaniel wasn't too worried about them. Therefore, he let someone take care of them while he continued to talk to Michael. Before Mango left the headquarters, a woman came over to make up for her.

She didn't think that it was a big deal at first, but after the woman finished putting on makeup for her, she was completely stunned.

Was this really her?

The makeup had concealed Mango's unique features, so Mango looked like an ordinary person right now!

In fact, if Mango decided to go out to the streets of Ocean City right now, no one would know that she was Mrs. Ye!

"What did you do? It's amazing."

Mango was surprised, and she wanted to learn the skills too.

Meanwhile, Nathaniel had been talking with Michael and the others, but he kept an eye on Mango all this while. When he saw the shock and excitement in Mango's eyes, the corners of his lips curled up while his gaze was filled with love.

Then, Michael looked in the same direction and said in a low voice, "It's an understatement to say that Joyce is the best makeup artist in the industry. No one would be able to recognize Mango, even if she was in Ocean City."

"Nah, you're exaggerating! I can still recognize her."

Nathaniel said faintly.

Then, Michael said gloomily, "You'll be able to recognize Mango, even if she turned into ashes. I'm telling you that no strangers will recognise her! Urgh! Do you understand?" Meanwhile, Joyce laughed as she nodded before leaving.

Mango felt that there were many hidden talents in this place. Thus, she decided that she had learned some skills from Joyce after setting Carter's issue. Later, Mango bid goodbye to Nathaniel before walking out. At that instant, Carter happened to be leaving the headquarter after he had gotten his salary. Mango didn't follow him closely, but she had driven after him casually.

Well, Carter went to a slum nearby after leaving the headquarters.

There was a big banner at the entrance which mentioned that this area would be redeveloped. So, not many residents were still here as many of them had moved away. Then, Carter found a random place to sit down before taking out a bag of peanuts from his pocket and ate silently.

At that moment, Mango was extremely shocked deep down.

Meanwhile, Carter noticed her only when she approached him.

"Who are you?"

Suddenly, he turned his head and put on a fierce facade although his eyes were unfocused.

However, Mango didn't say anything, and Carter became a little nervous.

"I'll just stay here for a while, and it won't take too long..."

At this instant, Mango forgot what Carter had done as she only saw him as a pitiful old man now.

His eyes were no longer clear, and he was even a little hunchbacked. Also, his hair had turned white with countless wrinkles on his face. Hence, Carter had obviously aged after going through so many hardships in his life.

"Come with me."

Mango spoke faintly.

On the other hand, Carter found this voice was somewhat familiar, but he couldn't recall who it was.

He lived in a monotonous world now, so he was frustrated at how helpless he felt.

"Do I owe you money? Or did I break your things? I'm sorry... Can I compensate you?"

Carter begged humbly.

However, Mango held his arm and whispered, "I'm Mango, Walter's cousin. Alas! How did you end up like this?"

As soon as she said that, Carter was stunned. Then, he suddenly broke free from Mango's grasp in panic as he wanted to stand up and leave. However, he fell to the ground as his eyes were blind. Mango saw his reaction, and she whispered, "Walter will be here soon, so don't be afraid..."

"No! Don't let him come here!"

At that moment, Carter's body trembled as he said nervously, "Don't tell him to find me and just let him live a good life! In fact, he can pretend that I'm dead! Mango, I know you're doing this for his sake, but listen to me... Everything is fine as long as he lives well. So, don't let him come here!"

"Why not?"

Mango was a little surprised to hear this.

However, Carter shook his head violently, and his face was terribly pale.

"Stop asking! Why are you here? Hurry up and leave. Don't tell anyone that you met me today. You should leave now..."

After saying that, he pushed Mango away.

"Uncle..."

This was the first time Mango called him uncle.

Carter was stunned for a moment before tears flowed down from his unfocused eyes.

"What did you call me?"

Mango knew that Carter treated Walter badly last time, but Walter was actually a soft-hearted person despite his ferocious appearance.

He was angry and resentful towards Carter, but he craved a father's love. In fact, he loved his father deep down.

It didn't matter whether Sophia was Brantley's daughter by blood. Sophia was still her grandmother's biological daughter. So, she could still call Carter her uncle.

Then, Mango walked over and said softly, "Uncle, it doesn't matter what happened! Just come back with me. Walter is married to Deborah, and she's the daughter of the Grey family. Don't you want to see your daughter-in-law?"

"What? Did Walter get married?"

Carter looked a little sad, but there was a hint of contentment and joy in his face.

"Wow! The daughter of the Grey family? That's a powerful family! Awesome! My son is indeed outstanding!"

Carter shed tears again as he spoke.

"I have treated him badly throughout the years, and I know that I am not a competent father! However, if I hadn't done this, he wouldn't have lived till now!"

"What do you mean?"

Mango was completely shocked to hear this.

Could there be a reason as to why Carter had been treating Walter this badly?

Unfortunately, Carter refused to reveal anything.

"Don't ask anything! Just leave and tell Walter to live a good life. He shall treat the daughter of the Grey family nicely. I prepared a gift for my daughter-in-law in the safe at home, and Walter knows the password."

After saying that, Carter turned around and left. However, Mango feared up when she saw his thin figure and unstable footsteps.

"Uncle, come home with me1 Walter will forgive you if you explain everything to him."

Mango wanted to step forward, but Carter took a dagger out of nowhere and placed it against his neck. Then, he said coldly, "I'll kill myself in front of you if you don't leave now!"

"Uncle, you..."

"Go!"

Carter became agitated suddenly, and it frightened Mango.

At this moment, he seemed to exude the vibe and aura of the chairman of Sminorf Corporation.

Mango didn't know why he was acting like this, but it was not a good idea for her to agitate him now.

"Alright, I'll go... Don't hurt yourself."

Then, Mango had no choice but to leave. However, she had someone follow Carter to prevent him from getting into any accidents. Meanwhile, she quickly informed Walter about this matter.
