The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)
Chapter 1433

"If I had the money to do so, I wouldn've bid for it myself. Why should I lend it to you?"

Nathaniel rolled his eyes at Walter while saying this.

However, Walter replied with a smile, "You have such a big corporation, so you wouldn't fancy such small profits. Hurry up! If I work on it now, I will be just in time to participate in the bidding." Nathaniel did not care about this land. In fact, if he hadn't found out that Sminorf Corporation's revenue had declined terribly, he would not have told Walter about this.

Well, they could do nothing after buying this land now. However, once the government began its development next year, Sminorf Corporation would benefit no matter what.

Although Walter was the son-in-law of the Grey family, he would be miserable if he had to accept help from them. Well, Nathaniel knew that since he had known Walter for so many years. However, if Nathaniel lent him money, it would be different.

At most, Walter would think of it as comrades helping each other.

So Nathaniel directly wrote him a check.

"Take it and cash it at the bank. However, you won't be able to do anything with the land for the time being. Your money will be locked down by it, so think about it carefully."

Walter waved his hand in reply and said, "If you didn't give me this information, Sminorf Corporation probably won't survive till next year. I'm aware of that."

"Huh? What's wrong with Sminorf Corporation?"

Nathaniel believed in Walter's business strategies, but it was also true that the stocks of Sminorf Corporation had not been stable.

A trace of coldness flashed across Walter's face when he heard this question.

"It's not a big deal. Some of the shareholders are having an internal dispute, but I can handle it."

"Let me know if you need help, but I have nothing else but money. If you need it, you can tell me any time."

"I know. If I need anything, I won't be courteous about it. Thanks."

Walter then put away the check and said, "Don't tell Mango or Deborah about this because I can deal with those b*stards myself. But if you have the time, you can help to collect the shares of Sminorf Corporation."

Nathaniel understood what was going on as soon as Walter had finished speaking.

"Are you going to drive out all the shareholders of Sminorf Corporation?"

"Since they don't want me as the chairman, why do I need them? All you have is money, right? Since I have someone like you backing me up, why do I have to bother dealing with them? I might as well take back all my shares, and in the future, I can do things without any hesitation."

Walter had never been vague on important matters.

Then, Nathaniel nodded in reply.

"Okay. But aren't you afraid that I will take the shares of Sminorf Corporation for my own?"

"I have no objection to it if you dare so. At most, I will move in and live here with Deborah in the future. If you can manage Sminorf Corporation on my behalf, I would have all the time in the world." Walter said this indifferently, but Nathaniel knew that if Walter did not trust him, the latter would not allow him to handle such matters.

At this thought, a trace of warmth flowed through Nathaniel's heart.

He had never thought of becoming comrades, with Walter in the past. But because of Mango, not only did they become relatives, they even became sworn brothers.

"Urgh! Get out of my way. You are such an eyesore."

As Nathaniel said with a smile, he heard the phone ring.

He picked up his phone and looked at it. It was a call from Maverick. He must have heard that Mango was pregnant and called to congratulate him.

When Walter saw that Nathaniel was about to answer the phone, he quickly said, "I'll go out first and see Deborah as it's time for us to go back. There are still a lot of things to do at home." "Alright, I won't be sending you off."

"Nah, don't bother."

Walter waved and then went out.

Then, Nathaniel answered the call.

"Hey, Maverick."

A trace of warmth swept through Nathaniel's heart as he greeted Maverick.

After all, he still had a relative in this world, so he felt great about it.

On the other hand, Maverick was leaning against the window and looking at the clouds outside. He smiled and said, "Congratulations."

"Haha! You should do something else other than congratulating me! By the way, how is my sister-in-law?"

Maverick heard Nathaniel calling his wife his sister-in-law, and he couldn't help laughing even more happily.

"She's recovered and is doing fine. Lilian wanted to see Mango, but I stopped her from doing so. There're too many things that need to be done recently, and she can't leave."

Well, when Nathaniel heard that they wanted to come, he was looking forward to it. But since Maverick said that some matters needed to be taken care of, he knew that they probably had some important issues to deal with.

"I hope that you and Lilian can come and visit us."

"When things are settled here, Lilian and I will go and stay at the Yes Mansion. I heard that the scenery at Ocean City is great, and the climate is good too. I think it's a suitable place for retirement."

Nathaniel looked forward to this after hearing what Maverick had said.

"Really? You're not lying to me?"

"Why would I lie to you? On the other hand, you were seriously injured and almost lost your life. Urgh! Why did you act this recklessly? Why didn't you call me? I am your brother, and I also have some forces with me."

Maverick had just received the news, so he was a little worried. Then, he asked, "How's your body now?"

"I'm fine. Mango saved me."

"You owe Mango your life. In the future, you better treat her well."

"Got it."

Nathaniel hadn't talked to Maverick like this for a long time.

"What have you been up to lately?"

"I was busy because I wanted to break the array formations of the mine."

Nathaniel tensed up after hearing what Maverick had said.

"Have Laborn and Atlas not given up yet?"

"Hah! How could they give up? Lilian's guess was right. Atlas has someone capable of breaching the formation, with and the person should be from Lilian's family. We haven't confirmed the person's identity yet, but Lilian has been in a bad mood these days because of this. Furthemore, Atlas has been madly trying to break through the formation because of Bernard's death. The other party is so strong, so Lilian has been having a hard time.

Alas! I can't do much to help besides interfering with Atlas's businesses in hopes of cutting off his funding chain."

Maverick also felt a little distressed when he said that.

After all, Lilian hadn't had a good rest for two days. If things continued like this, her body would probably collapse soon!

Nathaniel frowned slightly when he heard this.

"Can't you find the person who is capable of breaching the formation?"

"I haven't found the person yet, but I have a lead that that person should be in Angolla. You should know that I can't enter Angolla. If you have your connections there, could you help to investigate?" Suddenly, Nathaniel remembered Priscilla.

She had gone to Angolla, but she had done so because of Tristan. Furthermore, she wasn't emotionally well, and she was stuck in a difficult situation as well. Hence, it wouldn't be nice of him to hand this matter to her.

"Maverick, I do have some connections there, but this might not be a good time to help you."

"It's okay. I'm just saying that. If it's not convenient for you, forget it. I'll think of another way."

Maverick didn't say much, but Nathaniel knew that Maverick would not call him to mention this unless it was necessary.

Perhaps that person had greatly affected Lilian.

On the other hand, Nathaniel had already withdrawn from this task, so naturally, he had no right to go to Angolla to investigate. Therefore, only Tristan and Priscilla could do this. However, Tristan's foster father had just died, so he probably didn't have the time and energy to deal with this matter.

Therefore, after thinking for a while, Nathaniel decided that Priscilla was still the best person to handle this. Moreover, if Priscilla managed to help him, both the Hans and Acker family could forget that she was Laborn's daughter.

"Maverick, I'll deal with this matter and try to locate the position of that person. What do you want to do? Do you want to rescue that person?"

Upon hearing that, Maverick immediately became excited.

"Yes, you know that Lilian's family members have all passed away. Although I don't know who this relative it, this person is a member of Lilian's family, and she wants to have a family."

Maverick's words were clear, so Nathaniel understood his intentions immediately.

"Okay, I'll do it, but I can't guarantee that it will be successful." "It's okay. I'm relieved that you can help me with this. After all, I believe in your subordinates' abilities."

After hearing Maverick's words, Nathaniel laughed immediately.

"When this matter is over, come back with Lilian. I don't care what other people say."

"Got it."

Well, Maverick was not young anymore. After this was settled, he wanted to lead a calm life with Lilian.

He didn't have a long life left, so he only wanted Lilian to live happily. Well, he was joking when he was going to stay at the Ye's mansion, but Maverick meant it when he said he would return to Ocean City. After all, he had already begun to source for houses in the city.

After chatting for a while more, both of them hung up the phone.

Meanwhile, Walter had left with Deborah, but Nathaniel wasn't sure how Mango was doing. So he came to Mango's room, and he only left after seeing that she had fallen asleep from exhaustion.

Mango had gotten sleepy more often ever since she was pregnant. At first, Nathaniel had been quite worried. But after knowing from a doctor that this was one of the side effects of pregnancy, he allowed her to sleep as much as she wanted.

As long as Mango's body was healthy, Nathaniel didn't care what shape she was in.

He then went to the study and sent a message to Priscilla.

He knew that Priscilla was on the plane at this time, but she would see the message when she got off the plane.

Meanwhile, Priscilla flew for five or six hours before landing in Angolla. The moment she got off the plane, she heard a notification from her phone. She read it and was stunned when she saw it.

Nathaniel had given her a difficult task, but she would complete it as long as it was his order.

Meanwhile, Priscilla looked at the security in her surroundings, which seemed even more fortified than before. Everyone seemed to be on high alert and was aware of every movement.

When she left Angolla, Priscilla had never withdrawn her force. Now when she returned, she didn't want to alert anyone. Instead, she only contacted her men, and a car appeared discreetly at the border and took Priscilla in.

"What's the situation now?"

Priscilla began asking the moment she got on the

car.

One of her subordinates, Polo, hurriedly said, "Atlas has completely fallen out with the king, and their battle had become very intense. Although Atlas hasn't around for a few years, his influence had still spread among the cabinet and the council members. Therefore, the king doesn't have an advantage over him. After Bernard died, Atlas went straight to the Acker family and asked them for help, but the head of the Acker family refused to do so. However, news of the Acker family's master meeting Atlas secretly at night spread. Therefore, the king went and killed the head of the Acker family out of anger."

After hearing Polo's report, Priscilla frowned.

Well, Laborn wasn't such an impulsive person. Even if Arlo met with Atlas, he didn't want to cooperate with the latter. Hence, why did Laborn act this aggressively and kill Arlo with his own hands? What on earth were they missing now?

Wait, did Arlo have some evidence of Laborn's crimes, so the latter killed him to cover up his tracks?

Well, Priscilla couldn't figure it out even after racking her brains. However, it felt like the situation in Angolla was becoming more complicated.
