The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)
Chapter 1336

"We're not only heading to the downtown area. Miss Fang asked me to bring you guys to the palace!"

After hearing what Kash had said, both Mango and Mckenzie were stunned.

"What? Are we entering the palace?"

"Yes, Madam said that the most dangerous place is always the safest. The king will never find out that you guys are hiding there!"

All of them could tell that Kash admired Priscilla very much from the way he talked about her. It seemed that Priscilla had a good reputation.

Thus, Mango was even more curious about Priscilla as she suddenly realised that this woman was also Lebanon's sister.

Just then, Nathaniel grasped Mango's hand and whispered, "You shouldn't be too curious later, alright?"

"Oh, okay."

Mango nodded in reply.

Urgh! Why could Nathaniel always guess her thoughts? This was too annoying!

When Nathaniel saw that Mango was no longer as energetic as before, he smiled and said, "After the security check, I'll allow you to do whatever you want. You can even meet Lebanon." "Nah, I want to meet Henry!"

Mango was worried about Henry more than Lebanon.

Since the lockdown of Angolla, she had received no news about Henry. Moreover, he was constantly with Bernard Gaylord. Furthermore, she knew how cunning Bernard was, so she was worried that Henry's identity would be exposed.

"Okay. I'll go with you."

Nathaniel agreed instantly.

Meanwhile, Mckenzie listened to their conversation and did not raise say anything. She was unfamiliar with those names that they had mentioned, while those people who were once close to her were no longer here.

"Is Barack doing alright? Has he been rescued?"

She thought that she would not ask about Barack anymore, but she couldn't stop herself from doing so.

Meanwhile, Mango looked at Mckenzie and recalled everything Nathaniel had told her. Then, she responded, "Uncle Barack had already returned to Santell Capital before we even came here. He has been imprisoned by Laborn for all these years, so he was in a pretty awful state!"

"Uncle? Is he your relative?"

Mckenzie suddenly opened her eyes wide in surprise as she heard this.

Suddenly, Mango and Nathaniel realised that they had never told Mckenzie about Mango's real identity.

"Yes, I'm the child of the Hans family. My father is Dennis, and my mother is Queena. However, something happened and I was raised by the Shen family, so my surname is Shen." Mango briefly explained the matter as she didn't want to mention her adoptive parents from the Shen family. This was because she didn't want to recall the past tragedy that happened. Although she didn't explain much, Mckenzie understood her words at once.

"Dennis was still single before that, and I never expected him to have a child with Brantley. Wow! I didn't even know about this. It looks like I've lost contact with all of them for so long." Mckenzie smiled bitterly when she said this. No one could understand the pain and sadness that she was feeling right now.

On the other hand, Mango felt upset. Although she wasn't clear about the relationships and hatred of the past generation, she felt sorry because of what had happened to Barack and Mckenzie. Then, she gently patted Mckenzie's hand and whispered, "Everything will be fine."

"Yeah, you're right. By the way, what about Benny Powell?"

"He's dead."

Mckenzie was stunned as she never expected this to happen. Then, mixed emotions flashed in her eyes before she finally became calm again.

After that, no one said anything else anymore.

Soon, the car drove into the downtown area.

There was a series of security checks along the way, and everyone in the car started to tense up again.

On the contrary, Kash remained calmed and drove the car as if nothing was wrong.

"Stop right there. We're doing a routine inspection."

Suddenly, someone stopped Kash's car.

"I'm one of Mr. Fang's subordinates, and I went out of the city to deal with some problems. Are you blind? Can't you see the pass in front of my car?" Kash said these words harshly.

The guard glanced at the car, and his expression suddenly turned pale. He then stepped aside and said, "Sorry. It's just a routine check. Please forgive us. Here you go."

Meanwhile, Kash did not even look at him. Instead, he directly stepped on the accelerator and drove away.

Then, Nathaniel frowned slightly and asked in a low voice, "Lexis Fang? Aren't you working for Priscilla?"

"Madam said that we can't be all working for her. Otherwise, the team will all be in trouble if something happens to her. Therefore, we are allocated to work for other princes in the entire palace. It's more secure this way, and we can also observe what's happening in the other palaces. As such, the whole team will not be implicated even if one of us is exposed."

Upon hearing what Kash had said, Mango admired Priscilla even more.

"Wow! Priscilla is really amazing!"

"Of course!"

Kash was obviously proud to be working for her.

On the other hand, Nathaniel did not say anything. Instead, the corner of his lips curled up slightly as he glanced at Mango.

As the car drove into the city center, there were guards standing on both sides of the street, and the atmosphere was a little tense.

After seeing this, Mango leaned against Nathaniel's chest and asked softly, "Why does the vibe here felt so oppressive and terrifying?" "Hmm... something must have happened."

Nathaniel could sense that something had happened, so a mysterious gaze flashed across his eyes.

Then, Mckenzie frowned slightly and said in a low voice, "This place is a restricted area. It's hard for us to get in."

After that, Kash stopped the car at a hotel next to the area. Then, he asked the three of them to get off the car and enter the hotel immediately. Well, Kash had booked the hotel with a fake identity.

Once they arrived at the presidential suite, Kash asked them to freshen up and also prepared some clothes forthem.

After washing up, Mckenzie looked at her long hair and frowned slightly. Then, she went straight to the bathroom and cut her hair with scissors. Mango was a little surprised to see this, but she did not stop her. Instead, she stepped forward and asked, "Do you need my help?" "Sure. Sorry for the trouble then."

Ever since she had learnt that that Mango was

Terrance's niece, Mckenzie's attitude towards her had changed. Instead, she had become more friendly with Mango.

Then, Mango immediately stepped forward to help Mckenzie. She cut Mckenzie's hair short before trimming it so that the hairstyle would suit Mckenzie.

Once Mango was done. Mckenzie looked in the mirror and seemed satisfied with her new look. She suddenly recalled her younger days, but she was obviously older now as she could see the grey strands of hair that were on her head.

Alas! If Laborn hadn't imprisoned her for so many years, she could have done so many different things. However, too many years had been wasted now.

Now, she didn't have anyone she loved, and she had no job as well. She had lost everything indeed!

Suddenly, anger welled up through Mckenzie's veins.

She looked at the traffic outside, and she couldn't wait to blow up the entire place that belonged to Laborn. However, she knew that she could not act impulsively on this matter. Meanwhile, Mango didn't notice that Mckenzie's gaze had changed. She looked at Mckenzie's new haircut and praised her immediately, "Aunt Mckenzie, you're so beautiful." Mango addressed her as her Aunt Mckenzie just like how Nathaniel did.

On the other hand, Mckenzie didn't care about how they addressed her. However, she was delighted when she heard Mango's praise, so the corner of his lips subsequently curled up into a smile.

In fact, she looked particularly beautiful when she smiled. However, both Magnolia and Mango had their unique features and were both charming in their way.

"I'm already old, so I guess I'll never look as pretty as I did when I was young."

Mckenzie said these words sorrowfully, but sadly, there was nothing Mango could do to help her.

Meanwhile, Nathaniel knocked on the door outside and whispered, "Aunt Mckenzie, Mango, have you changed your clothes?"

"Well be right out!"

Mango waited for Mckenzie to finish cleaning up before they went out together.

Meanwhile, Kash had arrived. Nathaniel was also sitting there waiting for them, and he looked dazzling as he was dressed in a formal black suit.

"Mr. and Mrs. Ye, we have your photos here, so all the managers know who you guys are. Thus, you have to disguise yourselves before you can enter the palace." Mango was a little surprised when she heard what Kash said.

"What? Are you telling me that the people here all know who we are? Does this mean that they saw us when we entered the hotel through the main tall?"

"It's fine. This hotel belongs to us, and our subordinates are the ones that are working in this hotel."

Kash said proudly.

On the other hand, Nathaniel didn't say anything. Obviously, he knew about this as well.

However, Mango didn't expect that they would have a business in Angolla. She couldn't help but look at Nathaniel and said, "Honey, you're too awesome!"

"Nah, I'm not. Michael was the one who did this."

Although Nathaniel gave all the credits to Michael, Mango knew that Michael was willing to do anything for Nathaniel because Nathaniel had done him a favour in the past.

Indeed, Michael was a very loyal man.

"Hmm... I wonder how he and his wife are doing

right now."

Upon hearing what Mango had said, Nathaniel smile faintly.

"Well, you care too much about him. Would you like to call him and catch up with him?"

"Forget it. I'm not familiar with him."

Mango stuck out her tongue playfully as she said this.

Meanwhile, Mckenzie looked at the couple and could not help but think of the time when she was young. Back then, she had also fantasised about love and relationships. However, she was now over forty years old and did not dare to think about it anymore.

She regretted not cherishing those times as she never knew that she would lose them forever back then.

On the other hand, Nathaniel sensed Mckenzie's sadness and pulled Mango to his side. Then, he whispered, "Hurry up and get prepared. Kash will bring some people over to help you with your makeup."

"All right." Mango did not ask any questions and directly sat down.

A moment later, the makeup artist walked in and greeted them. After that, she started to put on makeup for Mango and Mckenzie.

It took quite a while for their makeup to be done. However, once she had worked her magic, Mango could barely recognise herself!

After all, she had an androgynous look right now, so she couldn't believe that this was her appearance too.

"Wow! Your makeup skills are too impressive!"

Mango was amazed, while Mckenzie was also a little surprised.

After all, the makeup artist had managed to disguise her wrinkled face. Right now, if she stood next to Mango, people would think that they were siblings instead!

"Yeah, your skills are pretty good."

Mckenzie was quite satisfied with how she looked right now.

Once they were done, Mango immediately went to look for Nathaniel. She wanted to see if Nathaniel could recognise her while she was in disguise. However, she saw that Nathaniel looked much fatter, and he even had a big stomach. He looked like he was pregnant, and he was wearing a suit that was one size larger as well.

When Mango glanced at him, she thought that he looked like a middle-aged man.

Thus, she was stunned.

"How...how did you end up like this?!"

She had never thought that Nathaniel would look so ugly after the transformation, so she was not used to it at all!
