The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)
Chapter 1260

Rita ran away hurriedly while covering her ears.

Meanwhile, Nathaniel had just finished cooking when Mango received a notification of an advertisement.

"Are you dying to buy a house? The price of houses is very cheap right now. If this meets your requirement, you should call 86745932 for further inquiries."

Mango threw her phone on the table in a dejected manner. She whispered, "The housing and renovation services must have gotten our phone number somewhere. They're really pervasive."

"What's the matter?"

Nathaniel brought the food to her and asked casually.

Mango pointed to her phone and said, "It's just an advertisement. Come on, are there any houses for sale here in Longford County? It's ridiculous that they even left their phone number. The funniest part is tha that number has eight digits. All phone numbers in Longford County consist of seven digits. How come there are eight digits from this advertisement?"

Mango didn't think much as she said it, but

Nathaniel paused for a moment.

"Where is the notification? Show it to me."

When Mango saw that Nathaniel's expression change a little, she was stunned for a moment but she still handed the phone over.

"Isn't it just an advertisement in a form of a message? What's the matter?"

After looking at it, Nathaniel frowned before he looked around and whispered, "This is the Moss code hidden in a message from our sister-in-law, Esther."

"What?"

Mango was completely dumbfounded.

Was Nathaniel joking?

Were they actually in a drama series or something?

How could a single advertisement become a Moss code?

When Nathaniel saw Mango's surprised face, he couldn't help but lower his head and capture her lips. She glared at him adorably in annoyance.

He then said with a smile, "This is a contact method created by Noah and me when we are on the move. It's a way to send messages when we can't call each other. This ad of the phone is randomly assigned by the software to make use of any phone number of any ad for us. However, it can only send a message, so it will generally be equipped with a Moss code. This phone number is the Moss code itself. I'm afraid it's not convenient for our sister-in-law to contact me now, that's why she had contacted you."

As Nathaniel spoke, he copied the number down. Then he took out a small booklet from his pocket and searched through it according to the phone number. Finally, he found a phone number. He didn't know whose mobile number it was, but he dialed it quickly.

The call was connected quickly.

"Who's this?"

"I'm Nathaniel. Esther asked me to contact you."

Nathaniel spoke directly.

The other party was stunned for a moment before he whispered, "Mr. Ye, Mrs. Moore will only ask you to contact me for one thing, which is to tell you that Angela works for us."

"What?"

Nathaniel was thunderstruck for a moment.

Was Angela working for Morgan?

After hanging up the call, Nathaniel quickly called his bodyguard.

"Stop the beating. Find a doctor to treat her

injuries." "Yes sir."

Although the bodyguards did not know why Nathaniel had given such orders, they still complied with the order.

At this moment, Angela was already covered in blood. She had passed out.

Nathaniel was a little confused, so he called the number again.

"I need the information on Angela Barnes."

"Angela is a local here. Her mother is from Longford County, but not her father. In the early years, her mother was expelled from Longford County because she was in a relationship with outsiders. Therefore, her mother was lucky enough to escape the extermination of Longford County. Later, Angela served as a soldier and she was trained personally by Captain Eaves. After the secret training, she returned to Longford County to do some confidential work. Mrs. Eaves knows the situation you and Mango are in. If you head out, you will definitely go to Longford County. So before Captain Eaves was investigated, I ordered her to wait for you in the vicinity of Longford County."

Both Mango and Nathaniel understood the other party's words, and then they hung up the phone.

Mango whispered, "Is this the foresight of Morgan? Or is this simply a coincidence?"

"Morgan must have noticed something and made the arrangements in advance. I just didn't expect Angela to work for him."

Nathaniel shook his head and brought the food to Mango.

"Let's have your meal first. Don't worry about anything else."

Mango was already starving. She nodded and let Nathaniel feed her. Because of that, she had recovered some of her physical strength.

"Nathan, do you think Angela will be angry at us?"

Nathaniel said coldly instead, "Does her anger have anything to do with us? Her superior is Morgan, not us. Besides, she didn't reveal her identity earlier. She even poisoned you. She should thank her lucky stars that I didn't kill her and grateful that she works for Morgan, otherwise, she would have been dead long ago."

Mango's face was noncommittal as she listened to Nathaniel's words.

The two of them ate some food and recovered some of their strength. However, Mango was still a little pale in the face.

Nathaniel said softly, "You should take a rest first. I'll talk to Angela and ask her about Morgan's information and arrangements. If there's anything we can do to help him, we should lend him a hand."

"Alright, go ahead. You don't have to worry about me. There are so many of our men here. I'm not a weakling either, so there won't be a problem."

Mango smiled lightly with some gauntness on her face.

Nathaniel held her face lovingly as he said, "Although I came here for certain matters, I still hope you can relax."

"I know. I really am fine. I'm just a little worn out, that's all. I've been on the plane for so long that it's a little unbearable. You need to take care of yourself too, alright? After all, we still have many challenging days ahead."

"Of course. Ah, my darling still cares about me after all."

Nathaniel cupped Mango's face and kissed her. This caused a blush to creep on her face.

"Just go away quickly. You're disturbing my rest."

Nathaniel loved to see her blush. However, he knew that this wasn't the time to be lovey-dovey, so he got up and left the house.

Angela woke up because of the throbbing pain.

She thought she was still in the cave, but the ceiling and the comfortable bed before her eyes indicated that she had made a narrow escape.

Rita sat beside the bed as she shook her legs out of boredom. When she saw that Angela had come to, she smiled and asked, "Aunt, are you awake?"

The corner of Angela's mouth twitched for a moment.

Rita had called her miss while they were in the cave, but now she was being addressed as an aunt, wasn't she?

Why was this child so annoying?

Rita acted as if she didn't see Angela's miffed expression. She continued to grin and said, "You really are a loser. You fainted after being whipped just a few times. How could you be someone that Bjorn had asked me to meet up with? Ugh, this is such a letdown."

As she spoke, she shook her head dismissively. Angela almost flipped her wig when she saw the look on the former's face.

"Was it just being whipped for a few times? Why did you omit the fact that those whips have barbs on them? F*ck! Do you know that I'm lucky to have survived the whipping? How dare you despise me? You know that I'm injured, yet you're still pressing on my wounds like it is nothing. Kiddo, you're not very nice."

"Please, there's no place for me to hide the item on your body. Your wound is the best place to hide it. I wonder how you carry out your job with this brain of yours."

Angela was being looked down upon by Rita once again.

"Can you leave, please? I beg of you. Just leave."

Angela clutched her chest as she was finding it difficult to breathe.

Not a single soul from the Ye family was a good guy.

She swore that she would never come into contact with the Ye family again. It was so scary that it made her fear for her life.

However, Rita said with a grin, "I'm not leaving. My dad will be here soon. I'm going to wait for him. Oh right, I forgot to tell you. My dad hates people who don't tell the truth. You should watch out." Angela almost blew her top.

Why would her superior send this cheeky devil to contact her?

What was the reason?

Her superior had to be bewitched by the former's angelic appearance.

She had to tell him about Rita's true colors.

Angela was considering this secretly.

Meanwhile, Rita leaned over abruptly with a grin.

"Are you thinking of getting back at me in secret? Let me tell you. If you dare to tell Bjorn how I gave you the item, I promise that your life will be miserable for the next few days."

"Is this a threat?"

"That's right. Can't you tell?"

Rita acted as if her action was justified.

Angela could sense that the pain in her chest was getting worse with frustration.

"I'm wounded. I need to rest."

"You promised to treat me to dinner."

Rita returned to her seat and continued to shake her legs leisuirely as she said this slowly.

"That's our secret code. Don't pretend that you don't know about it! Why are you so fixated on food? The Ye family is extremely wealthy. Can't you have any food you desire?"

"That an entirely different matter. The Ye family is very poor, so we have nothing but money. I'm sure you know that money isn't edible. I don't have a weird habit of munching money either. Furthermore, you even said that you're treating me to every animal that lives on land, sea, and sky in front of my bodyguards. An adult has to keep their word. You can't lie to children."

Angela almost passed out again from sheer anger due to Rita's incessant complaints.

"For goodness sake, someone please come and take this child away."

Perhaps God had heard her prayer. Nathaniel happened to open the door at that moment.

"Dad!"

Rita was smiling like an innocent child. This made Angela look down on her instantly.

"Rita? Why are you here?"

Nathaniel was a little surprised.

Rita said with a smile, "This aunt said that she will treat me to delicious food. For example, the birds in the sky, the animals on the land, and the fish in the river. She'll treat me to the food once a week. I came

to see her because I'm overjoyed."

The corner of Angela's mouth was twitching again.

Could she turn back time and stop herself from saying those words?

Could she do that?

On the other hand, Nathaniel stroked Rita's head gently and said with a smile, "Food is all you care about every day. Aren't you afraid that you'll gain a lot of weight?"

"I'm not afraid at all."

Rita was holding Nathaniel's arm like a spoiled child when she heard him say, "Go to Wisdom. Your mom is a little bored now. It'll be nice if you can go and keep her company."

"Alright. See you later, dad."

Rita left like the good kid she was.

Angela thought that her eyes had to be deceiving her.

How could that little b*stard be so obedient?

Nathaniel looked at her, whose gaze followed Rita closely. He frowned slightly and she stopped instantly due to his sharp gaze.

"Do you work for Morgan?"

Angela paused for a moment upon hearing his words. Then she nodded in the end.

"Do you have any proof? If there's no evidence to prove your identity, I'll still kill you. You have to understand that I won't allow any unknown dangers by my side."

Angela almost passed out in anger after hearing his words.

What kind of evidence?

As an undercover agent, she had always carried out her mission in secret. How could she have any evidence to prove her identity?

Nathaniel had to be intentionally using this as an excuse to kill her, right?
