The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)
Chapter 1556

Marcelo also understood the problem. He couldn't help but feel a little regret, but no matter how much regret he felt, it couldn't change anything.

"If you are arresting Ezequiel tonight, I want in on the action. After all, eight years ago, our family's downfall was all caused by this person. I want to know what he looks like." "Alright."

Nathaniel did not refuse Marcelo's request.

After getting the answer he wanted, Marcelo went back to his room. Bettany followed Nathaniel and Mango to the hall.

"How is it? Can you tell how long his body can last?"

"I can't. But he's pretty weak now."

Bettany's words made Mango pause for a moment before asking, "Can he last until evening?"

"It should be possible."

Nathaniel then nodded and sent Bettany to make preparations.

Mango frowned slightly. "There are still many things that I haven't asked. Is Susan related to Ezequiel? Did Susan frame Tessa so she could be the master of the house? If we don't have definite answers, I think for Carlson..."

"Don't worry. As long as we can catch Ezequiel, perhaps we would have a clearer picture. After all, Weston is not from the inner circle, and he hasn't come in contact with most of the core matters. I think that Ezequiel, on the other hand, might be our point of breakthrough."

"What do you mean?"

Mango didn't know what Nathaniel meant, so she couldn't help but ask.

Nathaniel stroked Mango's head and smiled, "Don't you see that Ezequiel and Javion have the same surname?"

"What?"

Seeing the puzzled look on Mango's face, Nathaniel continued, "I suspect that Ezequiel and Javion are either father and son or uncle and nephew."

Mango's eyes suddenly widened. As she went through the facts, she thought that it was possible.

"So maybe we can find Javion by capturing Ezequiel? Then we could find out if he is my aunt's father. If our speculations are correct, Walter would be his grandson. How could Javion bear to harm Walter?" Nathaniel narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Some people are inhuman. If he doesn't even care about his daughter's life, how important would his grandson be to him?"

Mango couldn't help but be shocked by these words.

She then thought fast.

If it was as Nathaniel guessed, then Walter was in danger. Something would have to happen to Javion's son or grandson only would he consider sparing Walter.

However, this idea seemed a little unrealistic.

Nathaniel didn't know what Mango was thinking, but he was a little worried about her silence.

"Don't worry. I'll do my best to deal with this matter regarding Walter and Deborah. Don't worry too much. They want the Grey family's sea routes, so they won't harm Deborah and Walter for the time being. At most, they'll only suffer from some physical pain."

Mango was not as optimistic about Nathaniel's speculations.

Could they only do something about the situation after they captured Ezequiel that night?

Mango felt uneasy.

"How's Susan recently?"

When Nathaniel heard Mango ask about Susan suddenly, he couldn't help but say, "Carlson had already given the order as it was too easy to find leverage against the Soo family. Now, the entire Soo family enterprise is under investigation, and Susan is extremely busy trying to secure her connections and find out who she had offended. But Carlson's men's lips are sealed, so this information shouldn't be leaked. We only need two days more at most for the Soo family to disappear from Ocean City's social circle.

Mango was not surprised to hear this news. After all, Carlson, who was able to assume the position of the heir of the Mo family, was not that approachable like he looked on the surface. However, she was a little worried about Noah, Genevieve, and the others.

As if knowing what Mango was worried about, Nathaniel said in a low voice, "Noah has already been expelled from the family by Nolan, and this news had been made official through the newspaper publishing. Now, Noah and Genevieve are both in Santell Capital, and they serve under Carlson. Thus, nothing will happen to them. However, Nolan doesn't seem to be in good condition. He hasn't woken up yet in the ICU, so I don't think he could live much longer."

"If there's this possibility, would Noah and Tessa be able to see him one last time?"

"Yes. After all, he's Tessa's grandfather. Carlson isn't that cold-blooded, but this could be considered as the last ounce of mercy he could have for the Soo family."

Nathaniel was familiar with Carlson's character and did not want to talk about him anymore. Seeing that Mango was a little tired, he said gently, "Why don't you go and accompany Zion? Leave everything here to me."

"Alright."

Mango knew that she wouldn't be of much help if she stayed, so she nodded and went to Zion's room.

Zion was playing with his phone when he saw Mango coming in.

"Mommy."

"It's nothing. I only came to see you. What are you playing?"

"It's a game. Do you want to play it with me?"

Zion could tell that Nathaniel and Mango were in a bad mood, and he also knew that it might have something to do with Walter. Zion tried to search for Walter's whereabouts, but since Walter found out that Zion had installed spyware in his phone, Walter had changed his phone. Now, it wasn't easy to find Walter anymore.

As he saw the worried expression on Mango's face, Zion felt that playing a game might make Mango feel better.

"Sure."

Mango looked at Zion's expectant gaze and didn't refuse.

The two then sat down, opened the phone, and entered the game. They then quickly paired with each other and then started the game.

Maybe Mango wanted to empty her mind, so she focused all of her attention on the game, and it did make her much more relaxed.

Unknowingly, the two of them played three rounds of the game, and more than an hour had passed. When a servant came up to call them to dinner, only then did Mango know that Nathaniel had gone out.

Weston and Marcelo also went out with him.

Mango was stunned for a moment. Only then did she realize that Nathaniel had already gone on the mission. Or perhaps, it could be said that Nathaniel had left Mango behind.

If such a thing were to happen in the past, Mango would be furious and feel that Nathaniel didn't respect her. However, after going through so much, she understood now that this was Nathaniel's act of love for her. Furthermore, Zion was also here, so there had to be someone to look after the child.

Mango was at ease with Nathaniel in action.

So she nodded and didn't say anything as she went downstairs with Zion.

The food was very exquisite and looked very appetizing. However, Mango did not pick up her cutlery. Instead, she asked the servant in front of her, "Who are you? When did you enter the mansion?"

The servant was looking down, and she also lowered her face, making it hard to see her appearance. From her outfit alone, she looked like an ordinary middle-aged woman. However, Mango could still sense the difference in her.

At this moment, as the bodyguards that Nathaniel had left behind did not take action, Mango knew that she could not count on them. Perhaps, the moment Nathaniel left with his men, the place had already been targeted.

There would be times when the hunter could also be the hunted. Mango didn't know if she and Zion were the hunter or the hunted.
