The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)
Chapter 1334

"Hide in the closet! Quick!"

Mango and Nathaniel were surprised by her sudden command. However, Mckenzie didn't have time to explain what was going on. Hence, Nathaniel quickly dragged Mango into the cabinet for both their safety

It seemed that Nathaniel believed Mckenzie's words.

After hiding inside, Nathaniel held Mango in his arms. They were stuck in a narrow space together with no room for air. Nathaniel's physique was larger, so Mango was cramped up under him. Well, this was a new experience for them too.

Meanwhile, the sound of metal chains was getting louder, and they could hear it even from the cabinet. The both of them glanced at each other, and Mckenzie's cold voice could be heard from outside. "Are you guys trying to starve me to death? Why do you keep delaying the time to serve meals? What's wrong? Is Laborn pissed at me now?"

Although Mango did not know who Mckenzie was talking to, things definitely looked suspicious now.

Suddenly, a deep voice of a man resounded.

"Miss, you're wrong. Mr. Fang cares about you very much."

"Heh. Is that so?"

Mckenzie snorted and glanced at the things in his hand before saying with a sneer, "The storm is coming soon, so but he provided me with that trivial amount of food to survive the winter! Hah! Is he trying to torture me? This place has been turned into an uninhabited area, and the heater has stopped working. Give me some coal. How can I survive in the cold this way?"

The man said respectfully, "Miss, there are some important matters in the country that have to be dealt with. Thus, Mr. Fang asks you to take this and bear with it for a few days, and he will arrange other food for you after that."

"Hehe, he wants me to bear with it just for a few days? Bah! I guess he wants to freeze me to death! Since he didn't manage to get anything valuable from me, he intends to give me up and let me die, right?" Mckenzie was filled with anger as she said this. However, the man said respectfully, "Miss, you must be joking. Your status is your greatest asset, so he will not allow anything to happen to you. However, he heard that a stranger has entered the uninhabited areas. Hence, I hope that you will not interact with outsiders."

"What a joke! How could people visit an isolated place that was created by you guys? Only a ghost would do that!"

Mckenzie snorted, obviously not showing the man any respect.

Meanwhile, the man looked around and saw the steaming tea and three teacups, so he could not help but frown. "Miss, is there a guest here?"

"Guests? I guess you'll have to allow them to come in first, right?"

Mckenzie obviously noticed the teacups on the table. However, she looked calm, so the man became uncertain.

"If so, what about these three tea cups..."

"I'm too lonely alright! I fantasised about someone coming here to visit me, so I wanted to serve them tea and talk with them! Can't I do that?"

Mckenzie seemed to be telling the truth.

The man did not believe it and wanted to enter Mckenzie's bedroom to inspect the surroundings. However, Mckenzie came forward and shouted coldly, "What? How dare you do that? You're only a lowly servant! How dare you enter my room?"

"Of course, I wouldn't dare to do so. However, if you're trying to hide someone else here, I won't be able to explain myself to Mr. Fang. As such, don't make things difficult for everyone."

Although the man was respectful, Mckenzie felt that his words were annoying and hated him even more.

"How dare you accuse me? Do you not know who the hell am I? Besides, this house is so tiny. Do you think I can hide a human?"

"I won't know until I see it."

The man pushed Mckenzie away forcefully without showing her any respect while saying this. Thus, Mckenzie was so furious that she almost wanted to tear him apart.

Meanwhile, Mango became alert.

Who on earth was this man?

He was so rude!

Nathaniel was all prepared. As long as the man opened the cabinet, he would kill him immediately.

Thus, the atmosphere became tense immediately.

The man entered Mckenzie's room. He looked around and was about to head towards the direction of the cabinet. However, Mckenzie frowned and directly threw the teacup in her hand.

The teacup somehow smashed right on the man's head, so the man was stunned. Then, Mckenzie snorted coldly and said, "Hehl You're digging your own grave, aren't you? Besides, you're only one of his servants that Laborn sent, so I don't mind killing you. Anyway, there will be someone else to replace you even if you die."

Mckenzie said mercilessly while holding a dagger in her hand. The man noticed the murderous glint in her eyes, and he seemed to be deep in thought.

"Miss, calm down. Mr. Fang has prepared something for you to eat for the next three days. If nothing happens, so you try to be more frugal. The storm is coming, and we might not be able to come out." The man became respectful again, but Mckenzie did not appreciate it at all.

"Get lost!"

The man did not care about Mckenzie's attitude, and he left immediately after hearing what Mckenzie had said.

This time, they could hear the sound of the chains further as the man left.

After that, Mango wanted to push open the cabinet door and leave, but Nathaniel stopped her.

He then looked at her and shook his head.

Mango was slightly surprised, but she did not do anything else. After all, her instinct was telling her to trust Nathaniel, and she believed in whatever decision he made.

The two waited for a while, and Mckenzie did not come in either. Instead, she held the teacup and poured the tea out. Then, she refilled the cup and said to herself, "Carlson, come, have some tea. Try the tea that I had just prepared. You will be rewarded if you correctly guessed the type of tea I made."

Mango was stunned, and Nathaniel was taken aback as well.

After all, Mckenzie was still thinking of Carlson, even if she was in such a terrible situation.

They had heard rumours of her raising Carlson as her own son, and it appeared that this was true.

Suddenly, Mango felt a little sympathy for her.

At this moment, the man from before pushed the door open and came in. However, this time, they didn't hear the sounds of the chains.

When Mckenzie saw this, she directly threw out the pot of boiling hot tea.

"Hey! Are you trying to dig your own grave?"

This was probably the first time the man had seen Mckenzie throw a tantrum. He tried to dodge the teapot, but he could not avoid it.

Fortunately, the teacup did not land on his face, and it hit on the wall beside him. However, some

of the warm water burnt his face.

"Argh!"

The man shouted in pain. Just then, he noticed the murderous look on Mckenzie's face. Before he could defend himself, he was kicked on the belly by Mckenzie, and he tumbled out of the door.

It seemed that Mckenzie wanted to kill him! She had even picked up the chair next to her and threw it directly at the man.

The man did not dare to fight back. Seeing that he was about to be hit, he voiced out quickly.

"Miss Mo, I didn't mean to do this! I just came back to tell you that the king said that it isn't safe for you to go out during these days."

Luckily, Mckenzie held the chair and stopped about five centimetres from the man's head.

However, she wore a cold expression on her face, and her voice was also tinged with anger.

"If you dare to spy on me again, I promise to kill you next time!"

Mckenzie was not joking at all, and the man could tell it just by looking and her. Hence, his heart was beating rapidly, and his palms were sweaty.

He always knew how terrifying Mckenzie was. After all, this woman had been locked up here for so many years, so she was probably insane.

Before he had taken up this job, several people had died while delivering meals to her. For this, Laborn had only given money as compensation to the victim's family and nothing else.

The man obviously did not wish to end up the same way. Therefore, he had been respectful to Mckenzie all this time after he took over the task.

He realized that as long as he treated Mckenzie with courtesy, Mckenzie wouldn't make things difficult for him. Today, he had returned again because he sensed something unusual. However, he did not expect Mckenzie to be angered by this.

Although Mckenzie was a woman, her strength was unbelievable, especially when she was pissed. Thus, the man broke out in cold sweat at the thought of what had happened just now.

"Miss Mo, I really came back to tell you this because I forgot to do so previously!"

The man explained hurriedly.

Mckenzie knew that he was lying, but she didn't bother to argue with him.

Instead, she threw the stool away and lashed out coldly, "Get out!"

"Okay, okay. I'll leave right now!"

The man fled in a hurry after saying that.

Mckenzie looked at the man as he left. Then, a deep frown plastered across her face.

After an hour had passed, Mckenzie remained in the same position. On the other hand, Nathaniel didn't allow Mango to go out either.

Mango realised that she would have been exposed and caught by the other party if Nathaniel hadn't stopped her from going out.

At the thought of this, she felt a little scared.

After another few minutes, Nathaniel whispered to Mango, "We can leave now."

"Shouldn't we wait a little longer?"

Mango was still afraid that the man would come back again, so she asked with a worried face.

Nathaniel shook his head with a faint smile and said, "It's all right. He should have been gone by now. Heh! He's probably terrified of Mckenzie now."

"Well, I'm scared of her too."

When Nathaniel heard what Mango said, he couldn't help but reach out and flick her forehead.

"Haha! When did you become so timid?"

"Well, I'm timid right now because I have you by my side!"

Mango stuck out her tongue as she said this. Meanwhile, Nathaniel's heart skipped a beat when he saw how mischievous she was.

Well, well. Mango had been seducing him a lot recently.

At this thought, Nathaniel grabbed her arm and walked out of the cabinet.

Meanwhile, Mckenzie looked at them and whispered, "Did you all discover anything?"

"Yeah..."

Nathaniel nodded, but Mango was confused.

"What did you all discover?"

She was confused, and she didn't understand what Nathaniel and Mckenzie were saying.

What was going on?

THen, Nathaniel looked at Mango's blank expression and said in a low voice, "When the first man came in, there was the sound of chains. This meant that chains were blocking the entrance where he came in. However, when the man came back again, we did not hear the chains. Hence, there should probably be another exit here."

"That's right, I always thought that there was only one exit here. After all, the door was blocked, but now, it seems that I was wrong. Also, the man was cautious just now. He must have noticed something wrong here, but he didn't dare to do anything to me, so he went back to ask Laborn. Now, we are in great danger, so I just want to know one thing. Can we leave now?"

Mango and Nathaniel became nervous immediately after hearing what Mckenzie had said.
