The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye) -
Chapter 1361
"Nah, I think Mr. Gaylord wouldn't dare to this."
"Hah! He wouldn't dare to do this? I think that he'll probably be willing to do anything!"
Priscila snorted coldly and said softly, I want a list of everyone who is working for Bernard, can you get that for me?" "Princess, you're forcing me a bit too much here! If Mr. Gaylord found out that I betrayed, him, he would kill me!"
"Do you think that he wouldn't think that you've betrayed him now? Bernard gets suspicious easily. I'm sure that you can't win his trust back no matter what you do just because you've slept with my maid! Therefore, instead of letting him suspect you, you should work for me instead. I'll definitely guarantee your safety!"
Hence, now that Priscilla had made such a tempting offer, the guard immediately changed his mind.
After that, when Priscilla told Mango and Nathaniel the news, Mango immediately started to admire Priscilla.
"Wow! She's really good at getting information from other people!
Mango was praising Priscilla sincerely.
On the other hand, Nathaniel neither agreed nor said anything. If he praised Priscilla, he knew that Mango would only get mad at him.
When Mango saw that Nathaniel did not know what to say, she kicked him and said, "Hey! Why aren't you saying anything?"
"Huh? What did you say?"
Nathaniel played dumb as he looked at Mango.
Mango glared at him before replying, "Hah! I'm sure that you're plotting something secretly!"
"What? No, I'm not plotting anything! I was thinking about something, so I didn't hear what you said just now."
Nathaniel continue to spout nonsense with a serious face.
On the other hand, Mango did not expose him. Instead, she asked, "What were you thinking about?"
"How do we send Aunt Mckenzie out tomorrow?"
Mango pondered for a moment before whispering, "I've called Magnolia. She said that Tristan is one of her subordinates, so we can use him anytime." "Oh?"
Nathaniel was a little surprised when he heard this.
Then, Mango told him what had happened to Henry.
After hearing what Mango had said, Nathaniel's face turned a little solemn.
"Are you saying that Magnolia has been poisoned?"
"Yeah, I think so."
Mango felt that she had almost gotten to the bottom of this mystery.
After all, Laborn was a heartless man. In fact, he would've treated Magnolia a little better if she had fallen in love with him. However, Magnolia only had eyes for Barack, and she was only pretending to like Laborn. Hence, he would never leave her be.
However, Laborn had left Magnolia alive until now because she was useful. Thus, he had poisoned her slowly so that he could control her easily. Alas! Laborn was such a sneaky guy indeed.
If they hadn't met the doctor today, Magnolia wouldn't have known what Laborn did to her, even after her death. Furthermore, Lebanon would have died at a young age because of this poison as well. However, did Laborn know that Lebanon had been poisoned as well?
Or was only Bernard involved in this?
Mango didn't know the answer to this question, and she couldn't figure it out.
Meanwhile, Nathaniel pondered for a moment and said, "You have also been to Lebanon's palace. Tomorrow, you should get Prisca to get the doctor here so that he can do a quick check up on you." "Nah, I'm fine, I only stayed there for a short while."
"No! It'll be too late if something happens to you."
Nathaniel said this as he was really scared.
Right now, Mango's body was too weak. What if the incense was really poisonous? Furthermore, what if Mango had been poisoned as well.
When Mango saw how worried Nathaniel was, she said hurriedly, "Alright, alright, I'll listen to you."
"You must listen to me! The palace is a dangerous place, and the people here will use any means to get what they want. So, you should be more careful! Wait, no, you should stick with me at all times unless you have something to do!"
Nathaniel held Mango's hand nervously as he said this.
His palms were dry and warm, so Mango felt touched from the bottom of her heart."
"Also, why are you only nagging me? You went to Lebanon's palace too, right? We should get the doctor to check up on us both then."
"All right."
Nathaniel did not refuse Mango's suggestion.
After that, both of them stayed in their room all day long, and they even got someone to send dinner to their room.
The next day, when the sun had just risen, there was a commotion only.
Mango didn't manage to get enough sleep, so she was furious as she had been woken up by the noise.
"Urgh! What's going on? Why are you making so much noise early in the morning?"
Nathaniel felt a little distressed and said, "Today, Laborn wants to hold a banquet to invite Tristan. So, he ordered everyone to wake up early to prepare for the banquet. If you think that it's noisy, I could cover your ears so that you can go back to sleep."
"Nah, I don't think I can fall back asleep."
Mango shook her head and sat up as she said this.
It was very noisy outside. She yawned and rubbed her sleepy eyes before leaning on Nathaniel's shoulder. Then, she muttered, "Wow! I can't believe Laborn would go to such lengths to welcome Tristan. Who do you think is more talented? Tristan or Bettany?"
"I don't know."
Before this, Nathaniel had never heard of Tristan's name. Moreover, he did not know much about the medical field. Hence, he didn't know anything about Tristan at all.
Previously, he had wanted to call Noah to find out about this. However, Mango had already called Magnolia yesterday, so he was afraid that their enemies would spot them if he made another call now. "Hmm, I guess we should ask Priscilla later. She probably knows something about this."
"Alright, you can ask her about it then."
Nathaniel was currently trying his best to avoid meeting with Priscilla as he didn't want Mango to misunderstand him. This was because his wife was really stubborn when she was jealous! "All right."
Mango did not refuse his suggestion as well.
Meanwhile, Mango had been talking to Nathaniel for so long, but she still yawned.
"Maybe you should sleep a little more."
"Nah, I don't think I can fall back asleep. Why don't you carry me to the bathroom so I can wash up instead?"
Mango said that as she crawled into Nathaniel's
embrace lazily.
Wow! His wife had thrown herself into his arms early in the morning! How could Nathaniel resist this?"
"Since you can't sleep, we should exercise a bit say."
After saying that, Nathaniel flipped Mango over and pressed her down on the bed.
"No! I'm so exhausted."
Mango mumbled as she continued to refuse me, but Nathaniel made her take back her words instead.
Soon, both of them continued to roll over in the sheets in pleasure.
Once they were done, Mango was too tired to move.
This time, Nathaniel carried her to the bathroom right away without needing her to say anything.
After Nathaniel had helped Mango to wash up, she had fallen back asleep once she had gotten on the bed. Thus, she didn't wake up, even though it was extremely noisy outside.
On the other hand, Nathaniel looked at her with a smile. Then, he made his way to the bed and laid down on it while hugging his wife.
Today, Laborn invited Tristan to the banquet, so everyone would pay attention to Tristan. Hence, no one would come and look for them this early in the morning. Besides, he didn't want to expose their identities, so it was better for them to stay in their room for now.
Thus, even though it was noisy outside, their room was peaceful.
Meanwhile, the noise outside had woken up Mckenzie as well. After getting up and taking a look, she knew that she would leave the country today, so she was excited.
She had left her home for so many years, but she could finally go back now.
Yesterday, when Nathaniel had asked Mckenzie to leave first, she had refused. However, she had agreed to his suggestion when he said that they would feel burdened if she continued to stay here. After all, she missed her home very much, and she missed Carlson and her brother as well. Finally, she could go back now!
At this thought, Mckenzie's lips curled into a smile.
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.
Mckenzie paused for a while as she was cautious. Then, she walked to the door and heard Priscilla's voice coming from the other hand.
"Aunt Mckenzie, I will bring you out of here first.
There are many people today, so you will catch people's attention if you leave from her."
"Does Mango and Nathaniel know about this?" Mckenzie actually wished to bid them farewell.
Then, Priscilla whispered, "They're not awake yet, but I will tell them about this. So, don't worry, auntie."
"All right."
Mckenzie nodded in reply. Then, she got herself ready before she opened the door.
Meanwhile, Priscilla was wearing a black evening gown that showed off her elegant and slender figure.
After that, the two of them went to the room where Nathaniel and Mango were originally staying. Mckenzie was a little taken aback when she saw this, but she did not ask anything.
Then, Priscilla went in front of the bed and directly pressed a switch. The bed automatically moved to the side, and a tunnel appeared in an instant.
"Follow me then."
Pricilla led Mckenzie out of the tunnel and soon, they arrived at the upper grounds. Wait, they were at the palace's kitchen now!"
"Aunt Mckenzie, change into a chef's clothes and cover up your face. Someone will come to pick
you up later."
Micheal had told Priscilla to bring Mckenzie here. Someone would bring Priscilla away after this, so he didn't want to get involved in this. Mckenzie nodded after hearing what Priscilla had said.
She didn't know whether it was dangerous to be here, but she was currently a little excited, but she tried to remain calm.
After that, Priscilla quickly left.
Soon, two middle-aged women came in. When they saw Mckenzie, they whispered, "Come with us."
Hence, Mckenzie followed them immediately, and they soon arrived at a mountain outside the palace. Suddenly, the cannon outside roared. At this time, a private helicopter secretly landed on the mountain. After that, Mckenzie boarded the helicopter, and it quickly flew away.
On the other hand, Nathaniel sensed the helicopter when it had arrived at the hill.
When he saw Mckenzie get on the helicopter and leave Angolla, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Well then, he could finally answer Carlson now.
Meanwhile, Mango woke up with a startled expression because of the cannon. When she saw Nathaniel standing in front of the window while looking at something, she got out of bed and hugged him.
"What are you looking at?"
"Aunt Mackenzie is leaving."
Mango was stunned after she heard Nathaniel's words. She looked up at the sky and watched as the helicopter faded into a small black dot and disappeared into the horizon.
"She'll arrive safety, right?"
"I'm sure she will."
Then, Nathaniel held Mango's hand and said softly, "We should also do what we have to."
"Yeah, I know."
After that, Mango went to wash herself up. Then, she and Nathaniel started disguising them before they walked out of the room.
When Priscilla saw them coming out of the room, she asked softly, "What are your plans today?"
"We need to move swiftly but quietly."
Mango added quietly, "We have to capture Bernard at all costs!"
"Alright, I have put our subordinates in all of the palaces. Today, I asked them to wear armlets. If you see anyone wearing these armlets, they are all servants, so you can order them around as you wish."
After saying this, Priscilla gave the armlets in her hands to Mango and Nathaniel. At the same time, she also gave her keepsake to Mango.
It was a very beautiful necklace. This necklace meant that they were part of Priscilla's palace, and this was also a token that Nathaniel had given her.
Meanwhile, Mango looked at the necklace and was slightly surprised.
"Are you giving this to me? Aren't you worried that I'll steal all of your subordinates away?"
"Hah! Let's see whether you're capable enough to do so then!"
Priscilla said in a somewhat indifferent manner.
She had thought about this too. However, she trusted her own subordinates.
When Mango heard this, she pouted. After all, both she and Priscilla had argued a few times, but the latter had the upper hand this time.
Oh well, Mango was magnanimous, so she would not continue to argue with Priscilla any further.
After thinking about this, Mango left with Nathaniel with the necklace in her hands.
Although she didn't know why Priscilla wasn't participating in the operation today, Mango knew that she had to capture Bernard today.
After all, she had to do so. This was not only for the people that he had hurt but also to lure out the person who was impersonating Augustus.
