The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)
Chapter 1551

"Evangeline isn't a grown woman. At most, she is only a girl. Moreover, they're only seven years old. Of course, it's normal for children to fight and quarrel amongst themselves. It'll seem like you're bullying a child if you interfere in their fight."

Mango was infuriated by Nathaniel's words.

"Who am I bullying? I'm teaching my son a lesson. I'm not bullying Evangeline anyway. You'd better let me go!"

Just as Mango was about to go berserk, Sissaye noticed that Zion and Evangeline were fighting at the side. She was stunned for a moment before she quickly ran over and stood in front of Evangeline.

"Zion!"

Although Sissaye was shorter than the two of them, she had a loud voice.

Zion couldn't help but withdraw his fist when he heard Sissaye's voice. His voice softened a little as well as he spoke.

"Sissaye, get out of the way. I don't want to hurt you by mistake."

Evangeline was taken aback by the turn of events.

How could Sissaye block her from Zion?

What did she want do?

Evangeline observed them and kept quiet when Sissaye asked, "Zion, how can you hit a girl?"

Sissaye remembered that every time Marcelo drank too much beer or lost money in gambling, he would beat Tessa and her. He even threw pots and pans that missed them by inches. However, he didn't really hit Tessa many times. Despite that, Sissaye loathed men who hit women very much.

She liked Zion very much now, but she didn't expect him to hit a girl. An immense disappointment was shining in her eyes.

Upon hearing Sissaye's question, Zion subconsciously answered, "She is not a girl."

"Huh?"

Sissaye was dumbfounded.

Was Evangeline not a girl?

But she was wearing a dress and looked like a porcelain doll. Could she be a boy?

Evangeline, however, was so angry that she could barely catch her breath. She asked angrily, "Are you blind? If I'm not a girl, who am I? A man?"

Zion's gaze fell on Evangeline as he said coldly, "You simply look like a girl, but you're actually a manly girl. No, to be precise, you're a tough man in a girl's skin!"

His words were not exactly music to the ears.

Evangeline understood that Zion despised her. She was so angry that she pulled Sissaye aside and said through gritted her teeth, "Zion, say it again if you have the balls." "You're still a man even if I repeat it ten more times!"

As soon as he finished speaking, she took off her shoes and threw them at his mouth.

Since he was not speaking nicely, it was best to cover his mouth with shoes.

Zion didn't expect Evangeline to act like this. He couldn't help but freeze for a moment. He then caught her shoe subconsciously. Although there wasn't any foul odor, he looked extremely upset. "Are you a brazen shrew? Evangeline, even if you've become someone with high status, you still can't change your character, can you?"

Evangeline was so furious that her face almost distorted in anger.

"Well, a shrew! Today, I'll show you what a shrew is!"

As she spoke, she rolled up her sleeves in preparation for a fight.

Zion saw Evangeline walk toward him again. How could such a manly girl be a real girl?

Was he blind or were others blind to the truth?

He subconsciously pulled Sissaye aside and said, "Sissaye, don't worry. Today, I must teach her a lesson."

Evangeline was the first person who dared to throw her shoes at him.

Speaking of which, this tough girl had been his first for too many times.

He was embarrassed for the first time because of her. She was the first girl who saw his junk, and now, she had thrown shoes at him for the first time!

If she continued to act like this, he was afraid that he would lose many first times to her.

The two fought with each other again, but this time they didn't fight according to the rules of martial arts. It was just a brawl between children.

Evangeline couldn't care less about her status as a princess. She slapped Zion in the face straight away and said angrily, "How dare you insult me!" The crisp slap extinguished the tiny bit of reason left in Zion.

"Evangeline, you deserve to get your teeth kicked in. Not only that, but you're also cheap."

Zion went too far with his words, but how could a person in the midst of a rage care about what he said?

Evangeline's eyes went red in fury.

The two of them were throwing punches at each other on the ground like kindergarten children.

This time, Mango was not the only one who couldn't stand it. Nathaniel had reached his limit as well.

Zion was really a letdown.

This was not how the son of the Ye family was supposed to act!

"Zion, let her go!"

Nathaniel walked over and kicked Zion on the calf.

His kick was quite strong and Zion didn't notice their arrival at all. Therefore, Zion couldn't help but shudder when Nathaniel kicked him.

"Mr. Ye? Why on earth are you here?"

Zion was bewildered the moment he saw Nathaniel. Evangeline was stunned as well. She even planned to run away.

Oh no, she had lost her image of being a good girl.

Nathaniel looked at Zion's sorry state. Two of the buttons on his shirt had been ripped off while there were a few scratches on his neck. His hair was a mess. Anger surged up within Nathaniel. "Did your mom and I teach you to hit girls? Is that it?"

Nathaniel kicked Zion on the body once again.

Zion staggered backward after being kicked, but he pursed his lips and remained silent. The defiant look on his face was expressing his dissatisfaction.

Evangeline froze for a moment before rushing forward to shield Zion behind her.

"Mr. Ye, don't hit him please. We're just having fun."

"Get out of my way! I don't need you to stand up to me!"

As soon as Evangeline's voice fell, Zion spoke in a clear and harsh voice. He didn't want her kindness at all.

Nathaniel was so enraged that he walked past Evangeline and kicked Zion again.

"How dare you speak again? Do you think you're right when you hit girls?"

Zion didn't fight him back, but he was unwilling to admit defeat as well. He pursed his lips into a thin line and said, "She is not a girl to me at all!"

"Biologically, she is a girl. So that makes her a girl. Now, get rid of that ridiculous reasoning in your head and apologize to her."

This was the first time Nathaniel had hit Zion.

Zion felt wronged, but he bit his lower lip and replied, "I didn't do anything wrong!"

"If you say it again, I'll beat you to a pulp. Do you want to try it?"

"Even if you beat me to death, I know that I'm not at fault!"

Zion remained stubborn as he arched his neck in defiance. A layer of mist had already formed in his eyes.

"You silly boy!"

Nathaniel raised his hand and flung it at Zion directly.

Zion was a little shocked, but he still refused to admit defeat as he waited for Nathaniel to hit him. Nathaniel couldn't hold back his anger anymore when he saw his defiant son.

The moment the slap landed, Evangeline pushed Zion aside, so the slap hit her on the face directly.

With a crisp sound, time seemed to stop in its track. Nathaniel looked at Evangeline in shock as his mind went blank.

Mango ran over in a hurry.

"Evangeline, how is it? Does it hurt? Are you dumb? Zion deserves a good beating. Why did you take the slap for him?"

Zion's eyes widened in surprise as he heard Mango's words.

Did his mother think that he was wrong too?

Nathaniel had no time to console Zion. He felt a little guilty for slapping Evangeline.

"How are you feeling, girl? I'll get a doctor for you."

Girls had delicate skin. Besides, Nathaniel didn't bring up his daughter the same way he brought up his sons. He really did not expect Evangeline to charge forward.

Evangeline shook her head as she said, "Mr. Ye, today's matter is between me and Zion. Can you not interfere?"

Mango was sorrowful when she heard those words.

"The brat is too arrogant now. He has a bad temper some more. Nathaniel and I just want to teach him a lesson." Evangeline took a glance at Zion.

All of a sudden, Zion didn't know how what to say to Evangeline.

Evangeline said coldly, "Zion, you owe me an apology today, and also a slap. Remember it! You'll have to make it up to me if you have the chance in the future!" "Don't worry, I'll remember this slap. I'll definitely return the favor to you as long as it's within my capabilities. However, don't even think about me apologizing to you."

Zion didn't believe that it was unintentional that she got out of the car and ran to him and Sissaye. To Zion, Evangeline had come looking for trouble, but he had discovered her plan early. That was why her plan failed.

Evangeline sneered before she bowed to Nathaniel and Mango. Then, she said politely, "Mr. and Mrs. Ye, something else had come up today, so I won't be inviting you to my house. I'll visit you together with Clarissa once I'm free in the future."

"Okay. Let Mr. Ye take you home then."

Mango truly felt guilty about what happened.

"No need for that, Mrs. Ye. My driver is with me. See you later."

Evangeline turned around and left without even sparing a glance at Zion. However, her hands were tightly clasped together.

Zion, you lowly b*stard! Just you wait!

Evangeline stormed off angrily. Nathaniel and Mango looked at each other before their gaze fell on Zion.

Zion had never seen such a strict look in Mango's eyes before, so he couldn't help but panic.

"Mom."

"Do you still see me as your mom? I thought that you're now a heartless person who doesn't care about your family at all. You're so conceited."

Zion was once again stunned by Mango's words. In fact, he was a little upset.

Why did everyone speak up for Evangeline, that crazy b*tch?

Didn't anyone notice that she was clamoring for a fight?

Why would a girl be like that?

However, Zion didn't dare to say that to Mango's face.

Mango looked at him and felt a pang in her heart.

"Do you understand what you did wrong today?"

"I have no idea."

Zion was a little angry and defiant.

Mango took a deep breath as she said, "Did Evangeline do something to harm you or Sissaye after she got off the car?"

"She just didn't have enough time to do her tricks because I saw through her in advance."

Mango had suddenly lost all desire to explain after hearing Zion's words.

Did she and Nathaniel really neglect to teach their children? He had grown into such a self-righteous boy.

Sissaye knew that she shouldn't speak at this moment. She also understood that she shouldn't stand up for Zion. However, when she saw how aggrieved he was, she couldn't help but feel a little upset.

"Mr. and Mrs. Ye, don't be angry. Zion was just trying to protect me."

Nathaniel looked at Sissaye before he glanced at Zion, who didn't seem to think he was in the wrong at all. He had a headache from all the anger. Then he said directly, "Go to your room and reflect on your mistakes. No dinner for you until you figure out your mistake."

As he spoke, the door of the villa swung open all of a sudden.
