The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)
Chapter 1448

Victoria didn't expect Desmond to say this with such resolution, so she was taken aback. She was about to continue making a scene when Desmond said, "I forgot to tell you one more thing. I'm now working for the Ye family, so if you continue to make things difficult for Haniya, I will let the Ye family do what is necessary, and I won't protect you when the time comes. After all, I promised to take care of you, but that doesn't mean that I will continue cleaning up your mess."

Victoria was in despair when she heard this.

Well, she knew how influential Nathaniel was. She still remembered how she suffered in his hands the last time, so she did not dare to offend the Ye family again. Moreover, she had secretly sneaked out behind Jose's back. If he knew that she had caused a mess again, she would get in trouble with him!

After much thought, Victoria said, "I was only buying a dress, and I didn't do anything else."

"I hope that's the case then."

After finishing his words, Desmond took Haniya's hand and walked away.

Earlier, when Desmond had Haniya's head on his chest, she could not breathe. She could only smell in Desmond's scent, and his steady heartbeat resounded in his ears. Therefore, as she left the place with Desmond, she was flustered again.

Then, Desmond escorted her to the car and drove back to the Ye's Mansion without saying a word.

He then got out of the car while ignoring Haniya as he seemed to be furious.

On the other hand, Haniya was confused.

How did she anger him?

Well, Haniya felt that somehow she had made Desmond angry.

She was tempted to ask about this, but she decided to forget about it since Desmond didn't say a word.

Oh, well. She had probably been too nosy today.

Alas! It was a pity that she wasted fifteen thousand dollars.

Urgh! She felt hurt!

At this thought, Haniya pouted and got out of the car before returning to her room. However, the more she thought about the money, the more distressed she felt.

Did she lose her mind?

How could she have given the fifteen thousand dollar dress to the lady? If she had kept it and sold it after, she would have at least get some money back, wouldn't she?

Boohoo!

These were her savings and her money!

Suddenly, Haniya started to feel pain all over her body.

Urgh! It was all Victoria's fault!

After returning to his room, Desmond waited for Haniya to come in, but there was no sign of her. He couldn't help but go out to take a look, but there was no trace of her in the car as well.

Where was she?

Desmond's expression suddenly darkened as he thought about this.

When the maid saw that Desmond seemed to be looking for someone, she quickly said, "Captain Blu, are you looking for Ms. Bell? She seems to have returned to her room."

Desmond was even more frustrated when he heard this.

Did Haniya return to her room already?

Wasn't she going to explain what happened today?

The more Desmond thought about it, the angrier he became. Hence, he then picked up the phone and called Haniya.

On the other hand, Haniya was still grieving over her money when she received the call, so she answered in an annoyed tone, "Who is this?"

"Come out! I'll wait for you in the backyard."

After that, Desmond hung up the phone.

Haniya was completely stunned when she heard this.

Was that Desmond?

She checked the phone number, and it was indeed Desmond's!

Oh, God!

Why was he looking for her?

She knew that she had been too nosy earlier and shouldn't have provoked Victoria. But she was also a victim!

After all, she lost fifteen thousand dollars!

Urgh! Haniya felt that she probably wouldn't sleep or eat well for the next few days.

At this thought, she then threw the phone onto the bed. After all, she thought as long as she turned a deaf ear and didn't go, Desmond couldn't do anything to her.

When Haniya didn't show up even after Desmond waited for more than ten minutes, the latter's eyes narrowed slightly.

Had Haniya become bolder now, or was her personality always like this?

In the past, she had endured his orders because she liked him. Now that she was about to give up, was she revealing her true colours?

At the thought that Haniya intended to give up on him, he felt even more depressed.

He then walked over to Haniya's room, but as he walked, he felt that something was not right.

Therefore, Desmond went straight to the balcony and jumped over it. Then he saw Haniya frowning while muttering to herself on the bed, "Argh! My money! My 15 thousand dollars! Ahh, I'm such an idiot! Why did you help Victoria pay fifteen thousand for that dress? Also, why did you give it to a stranger after buying it? Would she even remember you? Now that you only have a few dollars left in your card, how are you going to survive?"

Desmond felt like laughing when he saw this.

It turned out that she paid 15 thousand dollars for Victoria's dress, but she then regretted and gave it to a stranger instead?

Hah! It was indeed a foolish thing to do!

However, Desmond felt much better when he saw Haniya's sad face.

He then took out his phone and transferred fifteen thousand dollars to Haniya.

On the other hand, when Haniya heard the sound of a phone notification, she quickly picked up her phone and saw that there was an extra 15 thousand dollars in her bank account. Hence, she immediately jumped up from the bed.

"Fck! Did someone make a wrong transfer?"

"Do you think everyone is as stupid as you?"

Desmond said as he walked into the room from the balcony's glass door, which shocked Haniya.

"Hey! Why did you walk in through the balcony instead of the door?"

Haniya's heart started beating faster, and she felt a little scared.

However, she didn't know what she was afraid of.

Then, she came to her bed and sat down while saying, "Why did you meddle in her business? Have you forgotten how she used to treat you?"

"I didn't want to do so, but she called out my name in public and said I was her daughter-in-law! How could I ignore her? Also, I never thought that I would need to pay fifteen thousand dollars for a dress! Let me tell you, I was also very reluctant to pay for it. Urgh! You have no idea how bad I feel now!"

Haniya said as she started to think about what had happened previously. Urgh! Why did she pass out instead at that time?

Victoria wanted to buy a 15 thousand dollar dress. She was doing as she pleased!

On the other hand, Desmond was surprised when he heard Haniya mentioning "daughter-in-law". His eyes brightened up, and he felt pleased.

"If you see her in the future, avoid her, okay?"

"Why should I do that?"

"That's because you don't know how to protect yourself."

After that, Desmond got up and was about to leave when he suddenly remembered something and transferred 8,000 dollars to Haniya.

"Huh? Why did you transfer money to me again?"

Haniya received the notification and was puzzled.

"Go buy me some clothes because I have nothing to wear."

Suddenly, she recalled Desmond asking her to wash his clothes? Wait, did Desmond really only have two sets of clothes?

"Huh? Why are you getting me to buy it for you?"

"Don't you want to go shopping? I am tied up with things at Dark Night Empire, so I don't have the time to do so. By the way, get me underwear too. You could buy the same size as the one you helped me wash."

Desmond said seriously and then left through the balcony.

Meanwhile, Haniya was completely stunned.

What did Desmond say just now?

Did he want her to buy him underwear too?

Furthermore, she had to buy his underwear according to his size!

How would she know his size?

She didn't even dare look at it when she was washing his underwear. Therefore, how would she know what size it was?

At this thought, Haniya suddenly felt upset.

"Desmond, can I not buy this?"

Haniya looked at her phone and felt like crying.

Urgh! Desmond was so bossy.

Why did she pity him in the past?

She must have been blind back then!

After all, all he did was bully her every day.

Haniya scolded secretly her heart but had to go out again. This time, there was a bodyguard waiting for her.

"Ms. Bell, Captain Blu asked me to drive you there."

Haniya suddenly felt a little flattered when she saw this.

"Nah, I don't need a driver."

"Captain Blu said that if you don't need me, I'll have to pack my bags. Please, Ms. Bell."

The bodyguard's words put Haniya in a difficult situation. However, she knew that Desmond was in charge of Dark Night Empire, and all the security personnel had to listen to him. Hence, she didn't want to make it difficult for the bodyguard.

"Alright, let's go to the mall then."

Haniya felt unlucky she met Victoria in the shopping mall earlier, so she decided to go to another mall instead.

After that, she went to the men's department and started choosing the clothes while visualizing Desmond's figure.

"Madam, are you buying clothes for your boyfriend? We have many latest styles in our store. Please come in and have a look."

The salesperson greeted Haniya enthusiastically while saying this.

However, Haniya said with embarrassment, "Um... it's not for my boyfriend. It's for a friend."

"Well, it doesn't matter. We have the latest styles in our store, so feel free to take a look around."

The salesperson replied immediately.

When Haniya thought about Desmond's fashion style, she went to the casual section. It seemed like Desmond would look good in the clothes in that section.

After all, he had stylish blue hair and eyes that were always deep in thought, so any clothes would look good on him.

"What do you think, madam? Is there anything that you like?"

"I think they are all very nice."

Haniya said with a slight smile.

The salesperson said immediately, "Then you should buy them all. To be honest, our products are of high quality. Furthermore, they are all branded clothes, so you can feel proud while wearing them!" What? Did the salesperson tell her to buy them all?

However, Haniya knew that Desmond worked hard to earn this money, so how could she be so extravagant?

At this thought, she shook her head hurriedly. In the end, she chose a set of casual linen wear and a set of sportswear.

Now that she had chosen the clothes, she needed to choose the underwear.

Suddenly, Haniya immediately fell into a dilemma.

What was the size that was suitable for him?

She had no idea!

When the salesperson saw how lost she was, she asked, "Madam, what size are you looking for?"

"I don't know either."

"Why don't you ask him then?"

Well, Haniya found it hard to do so.

Should she call Desmond and ask about his size?

No! It was too embarrassing!

What if he asked her to refer to the size of the one she washed? Urgh! What should she reply then? Was she supposed to tell Desmond that she washed his underwear with her eyes closed?

Haniya was a little frustrated when she thought about this.

But if she did not buy it, who knew what other tasks Desmond would give her?

At this thought, Haniya gritted her teeth and closed her eyes. Then, she picked one and threw it into the shopping basket before quickly going to pay the bill.

After returning to the Ye Family, Haniya passed the clothes to the bodyguard.

"Pass this to Desmond. I'm having a stomachache, and I need to go to the toilet."

She then hurried off after stuffing the clothes into the bodyguard's hands.

The bodyguard believed that she had a stomachache, so he didn't question it. He sent the clothes to Desmond's room and found Desmond waiting.

"Where is she?"

"Ms. Bell seemed to have had a stomachache and ran to the toilet."

The bodyguard's words made Desmond frown slightly.

Did she have food poisoning?

At this thought, he got up quickly and found some medicine that he planned, to send them over to her. He took a glance at the clothes that Haniya bought, and he liked the colors and styles.

Indeed, she knew him well!

Desmond happily took the clothes out, but he frowned when he saw the underwear.

Why was it in an S size?

What was she trying to say by buying this?

Did she think that he was this small?
