The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)
Chapter 1596

"Mr. Ye, the child is innocent."

Finally, Thomas said that.

Upon hearing this, Nathaniel was left speechless.

He whispered, "Thomas, since we're good brothers, I'll give you a word of advice. You should get a divorce as soon as possible. Otherwise, I can't help you if things get out of hand. I always thought that you were someone Rainie could trust her entire life. I thought that you were great and had excellent qualities. However, I didn't expect things to turn out this way. Perhaps everyone has a selfish side. Even though you haven't gone against your principles or personality, some people will be disappointed in you just because of one thing that you did." As such, I have to say that I'm pretty disappointed in you now." Then, Nathaniel hung up the phone.

Nathaniel had rarely spoken such heavy and harsh words to Thomas during these years.

Henxe, Thomas was in a daze. He stood there with a stunned expression, and he didn't notice when his phone had fell to the ground.

Mr. Ye said that he was selfish, but who was he doing this for? Wasn't he just afraid that Rainie would have no one to rely on when she grew old?

If he were to pass away before Rainie, at least there was still a child she could depend on, wasn't it?

Moreover, Rainie would be named the child's biological mother. Naturally, the child would also treat her as her own mother since young.

Why just couldn't she understand his efforts?

How could this be called selfish?

Thomas thought that he was right. However, Nathaniel's words were still lingering in his mind, so he felt a bit upset.

Suddenly, someone knocked on the door.

Without waiting for Thomas to speak, Emory opened the office door and came in with a cup of coffee.

"What's wrong? You look sad. I made a cup of coffee for you. Here, have a try."

Emory smiled brightly, as Thomas recalled Nathaniel's words.

The woman in front of him was gentle and kind. She was also a good helper, and she assisted him in business matters. He even spent more time with her than with Rainie. Was her kind character all an illusion? Furthermore, was she doing all sorts of bad deeds towards Rainie behind his back?

At this thought, Thomas stared straight at Emory.

Emory was intimidated by his stare, so her smile became stiff.

"What's wrong? Why are you looking at me like this?"

"Why are you still wearing high heels while you're pregnant? Aren't you afraid of hurting the child?" Thomas withdrew his sharp gaze. Upon hearing what he had to say, Emory breathed a sigh of relief.

"Well, I don't have time to buy a new pair of shoes. After all, I've been busy with company's affairs these days."

"I have already asked the personnel department to recruit two assistants. Guide them through the process of the company in the next few days and rest well at home."

Emory was stunned when she heard this, and she said anxiously, "There are so many things going on in the company. How can I ask the newcomers to take over everything in a few days?" "I'm here, right? I can lead the rookies."

"Mr. Song, I'm only pregnant for fifty days. I don't need rest, and I can still work." "I hope the child can be born safely." Thomas's gaze became sharp as he said this.

Emory bit her lower lip as she knew that it was useless for her to continue arguing with Thomas. Then, she said with some grievances, "Did Ms. Blu put pressure on you? Mr. Song, you are the president of a company, so why are you afraid of her?"

"It's none of your business. I have hired a nanny and also bought you a house. Hand over the work you have within five days. I will arrange special personnel to take care of your daily necessities. You'll be rewarded with what you deserve as long as you give birth to the baby healthily."

Emory was delighted after hearing what Thomas had said.

She remembered that Thomas promised to give her a sum of money. Although it was not a large amount of money, she still had ways to keep the child with her.

At this thought, there was a trace of joy on her face.

Seeing this, Thomas sneered in his heart.

Sure enough, she was a b*tch.

It seemed that it was time for him to make a thorough investigation on the horrible things she had done something behind his back.

"You may leave now. I'm getting back to work."

Thomas drove her out directly by saying so.

Meanwhile, Mango returned to the private room after she made the call to Nathaniel. She did not want to disturb Rainie's rest. Therefore, she sent a message to Merle and asked him to investigate the reason why Rainie was always coughing. She also wanted him to find out the people Rainie had been in contact with.

Then, Mango stayed there to accompany Rainie.

Rainie had slept till the sun had got down without knowing it because she probably hadn't taken a good rest for a long time. When she opened her eyes, she saw Mango reading a book.

She looked at it carefully and found that it was her script. Hence, she did a stretch and rubbed her shoulders.

"Are you interested in acting?"

"Nah, I'm not. I just wanted to see what you were filming."

Mango handed the script to Rainie saying this.

On the other hand, Rainie felt better than before. Perhaps she had finally vented out the grievances in her heart, or maybe it was because Mango was by her side. Anyway, she felt secure and energized. "Have you decided where you want to go for a holiday during the next few days?"

Mango tried her best not to mention Thomas. After all, she was aggravated every time she think about what Thomas had done.

Rainie stretched her neck and felt a little uncomfortable.

"Do you think it's a good idea for me to take a break all of a sudden? Will my fans be upset?"

"You must think what's best for you first, not for the fans."

Mango rolled her eyes at Rainie.

However, Rainie smiled and said, "Haha! Yes, you're right. However, I don't know where to go on such short notice. In the past few years, my assistant has been arranging everything for me, and Thomas was the one who hired the assistant. Hah! I suspect that she stayed with me to monitor me."

Mango suddenly felt a little sad after hearing this.

She hugged Rainie and whispered, "Come with me to Angolla. Let's relax and unwind for just a few days. I'll also introduce my cousins to you. What do you say?"

"Cousin? Who are you talking about?"

"Take a guess."

Mango was beating around the bush.

Rainie suddenly wanted to laugh.

It felt as if they had returned to the past right now, and it was truly a nostalgic feeling.

"Okay, whatever you say, when will we leave?"

"Let's do it now."

Mango felt that it was pointless to stay. After all, she knew Thomas' personality well, and he would be on his way to find Rainie after ending the call with Nathaniel.

In order not to affect Rainie's holiday plans, she turned off her cell phone. Now, no one knew her whereabouts except for Braiden Jenkins. In fact, Braiden would never disclose Rainie's location to Thomas. No matter the final result, Mango knew that Rainie and Thomas needed some time off to calm down. However, she also had her own plans. She planned to take Rainie to Angolla with her and visit Tristan!

She had decided that someone needed to treat Rainie's cough immediately. Since the hospital couldn't find anything, she hoped that Tristan could do so. After all, Rainie's wellbeing was very important to her. Moreover, Anaya was working for Queena in Angolla, and Denver was also there. Hence, it would be a good opportunity for Rainie to meet up with Denver.
