The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)
Chapter 1290

On the other hand, Bettany was slightly stunned by the Mango's sudden intrusion. Although she was a little displeased, she still greeted Mango politely.

In the past, Bettany would never address her as 'Madam', and this continued even if she became Wisdom's teacher. Thus, Mango knew that she acted more respectfully now because Nathaniel was the chief o Longford County.

However, Mango wasn't in the mood to care about these. She walked straight to Bettany and asked directly, "Who is the man who is watching over Wisdom?"

Upon hearing this, Bettany was startled, and a mysterious gaze crossed her eyes.

Meanwhile, Wisdom happened to arrive when he heard this.

Although Doris did not say anything, she was still a little curious.

According to Mango's words, it seemed that Bettany had been coerced by someone. If that was the case, was the promise of taking her to meet Barack still valid?

On the other hand, Mango could care less about what others thought. Right now, she was extremely anxious.

However, Bettany lowered her head and whispered, "I don't know what you're talking about."

"You know what I mean, Bettany. I know you're smart, but you shouldn't treat me like a fool either. You think that you can handle this yourself by protecting both Longford County and Wisdom, right? Let me tell you this, no one in the world can get the best of both worlds, and not even you! If you're really concerned about Wisdom, can you tell me who's watching over him?"

Wisdom seemed to have understood something when he heard what Mango had said.

Then, he walked into the room and looked at Bettany before whispering, "Ms. Zhang, have you been threatened because of me? Who is that person? What does he want you to do?"

Previously, Bettany didn't want to reveal anything. However, she wavered slightly when she saw Wisdom.

"Why are you here? The adults are speaking now, so you shouldn't listen in! Go out and play, or check up on how Maverick is doing."

Well, Bettany was obviously driving Wisdom away, but Wisdom shook his head and said, "Somone drugged my uncle. Daddy and mommy will be counter-attacking quietly, and soon, they will find the culprit. Madam, you have to believe that they can protect me, so just say it while I'm here."

Wisdom looked straight into Bettany's eyes as he said this, but Bettany remained silent.

On the other hand, Mango was extremely anxious. Finally, she couldn't hold it in any longer and said worriedly, "The other party wasn't targeting Wisdom, right? They were closely monitoring him, and they even used him to threaten you. Do they want you to do something from them?"

"No, they just asked me to calm down. They said they would look for me when they needed me. Although you said that you would take care of Wisdom, you've failed now because you allowed someone else to spy on him!"

Bettany finally spoke up, but there was a hint of reproach and dissatisfaction in her voice. After all, Bettany couldn't say anything harsh because of Nathaniel's status, but she did it for Wisdom's sake. Right now, she would not allow anyone to harm Wisdom.

Mango was stunned for a moment when she heard what Bettany had said, but she immediately understood the meaning behind her words.

"Bettany, they were not targeting Wisdom from the very beginning. They want nothing from Wisdom. Even if they wanted to kidnap him, he would be fine because Nathaniel and I are protecting him. Furthermore, they would have taken action immediately if Wisdom was the person they were looking for. However, they waited until now, so they're obviously using you!"

After that, Mango quickly took out her phone. She was already trembling in fear.

However, Bettany didn't quite understand what Mango meant. She wanted to ask, but Mango hurriedly said to Nathaniel on the phone, "Their target is Morgan!"

"I know that, and I tried to inform Morgan. Unfortunately, we're still a step too late because he isn't answering his phone. As you know, the signal over there is blocked, so I'll go over there first. Can you handle this yourself?"

At this moment, Nathaniel sounded worried

"I can. Go ahead. Take care of yourself."

Mango's thoughts were in a mess, but she knew that she had to remain calm because Rita was still with Morgan.

When she thought about what could happen to her precious daughter, Mango was anxious.

Meanwhile, Bettany seemed to have sensed something.

"Madam, you're..." "Don't you get it, Bettany? Those people were using Wisdom as bait because they were afraid that you would help us. Hence, they weren't monitoring Wisdom. Instead, they took advantage of Wisdom's relationship with us to find out the whereabouts of Morgan. You are from Longford County, so if you help us, their plan will never succeed. But if you don't do anything, they can ask others for help since we were not familiar with this area. In this way, they can enter our territory and follow our footprints to find Morgan. Hah! They've used you!"

Mango didn't want to blame Bettany. After all, the latter was doing this for Wisdom's sake because of her unconditional love for Wisdom. However, Mango felt extremely anxious and uneasy right now. What if something happened to Morgan? What about Rita then?

Meanwhile, Bettany was completely stunned.

She looked at Mango and then at Wisdom again, but she was too stunned to react.

Meanwhile, Doris sighed as she walked in and said, "I'm afraid that the other party has gotten what they wanted. If their target is Morgan, I'm afraid that you guys have left Morgan's place for quite some time..." "Auntie!"

This was also what Mango was most worried about.

However, she didn't know what to say after calling Doris.

Meanwhile, Wisdom had been listening to the conversation from the start, and now he seemed to have understood something.

"Mommy, will Rita be alright?"

Upon seeing Wisdom's worried expression, Mango patted his head and said, "Your daddy is already there, so he should be able to make it in time."

"It's too late."

Wisdom's eyes became a little teary after saying this.

"If Mommy's guess is true, then the traitor is Angela Barnes, right? We asked her to lead the way because we weren't familiar with this place. Besides, we always thought that she was close with Uncle Morgan, so we trusted her. Alas! We even sent her and Rita over. Now I'm afraid... I'm worried..

Wisdom choked with sobs as he spoke.

He knew that he couldn't blame Bettany. After all, Bettany was his teacher, and she did everything to protect him. However, Wisdom was extremely sad and depressed.

This was because Wisdom was worried about Rita, and he wanted to rush over when he thought about how something could've happened to her.

On the other hand, Mango understood his feelings. She knew who it was from the start and decided to look for Bettany as she wanted an answer. But now, It didn't even matter anymore.

Indeed, the other party had planned this well and attacked them without them noticing!

Meanwhile, Bettany finally understood what had happened.

She said apologetically, "Madam, that person is indeed Angela, but I have investigated and it seemed that her parents are good person, they..."

"Nah, it doesn't matter now. These things have already happened, and we have to find a solution. Now Angela has followed Rita into Morgan's barracks, so I'm afraid she will find out about the secret. Soon, their next target is likely to be the entrance of the village. If this is exactly their plan, then Augustus... Oh no! Augustus Abbott!"

At this thought, Mango quickly left Bettany's room and ran towards the place where Augustus was locked up.

Meanwhile, Doris followed her from behind.

Bettany no longer held back and whispered, "Madam, there is a secret team in the village. I can lend it to you if you need it. But we need the ring of the chief as a keepsake."

"We'll talk about it later."

Right now, Mango was more cautious, and she didn't want to depend on someone that she couldn't fully trust.

Mango trotted all the way to the place where Augustus was locked up. When she saw that Augustus was still inside, she breathed a sigh of relief. Meanwhile, the bodyguards seemed a little surprised. "Mrs. Ye, what's wrong?"

"Is he awake?"

"Not yet."

Mango looked around. The surroundings seemed safe, and it was difficult to break in without the help of the people inside. Hence, it was impossible for Augustus to escape.

Just then, Augustus woke up.

When he saw Mango, his eyes turned a little cold.

"Where is Nathaniel? Urgh! Ask him to let me go!"

"Hah! In your dreams!"

Although Mango was panic-stricken, she did not show it on her face because she was facing a strong opponent like Augustus.

Augustus was good looking, but he was not as handsome as Nathaniel. Moreover, her gut was telling her that he had bad intentions. However, Augustus looked somehow familiar to her. "Have we met before?"

On the other hand, Augustus was stunned after hearing what Mango had said. He sneered, "Hehl All the women I've met before have slept with me! Mrs. Ye, do you mean that you've crawled into my bed before?"

"You b*stard!"

The man beside immediately slapped Augustus in the face, and his face turned red and swollen in an instant.

On the other hand, Mango was infuriated too because she had never expected him to act so disrespectfully. Argh! He was simply a rogue!

How could Nanny Zhang fall in love with a man like him? He was a scheming man! Moreover, he treated his son cruelly, so Mango put up her guard against him immediately.

"Watch him carefully. Don't let anything happen to him or let anyone take him away. Do you understand?" "Yes, Madam."

Then, Mango increased the number of bodyguards.

Meanwhile, Augustus's eyes were so cold, so Mango felt uncomfortable. He gritted his teeth and muttered, "I made a stupid mistake this time, but you haven't won either! Haha! We still have a long way to go." These words made Mango felt very uneasy.

"We all know about your plan and the reason you came to Longford County 30 years ago. Do you think you can possibly get out of here? Who are you waiting for? Are you waiting for Benny Powell to save you?"

Augustus's expression clearly changed when Mango brought Benny up.

"How do you know about Benny?"

There was a hint of surprise and doubt on his face. Wait, he looked worried as well!

Why was he worried?

Was he actually afraid that they would find Benny?

But why?
