The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)
Chapter 1639

Ned was completely taken aback after hearing this.

How could this be?

"Madam, could there be a misunderstanding?"

"She was the one who injured me, and I saw it with my own eyes. Do you think I could still be mistaken?"

There was a hint of coldness in Mango's voice as she said these words.

She was anxious now that Lucas was gone, but knew that she couldn't blame it on Ned. However, she was also certain that Ned knew something about Carmel.

Upon hearing this, Ned naturally agreed with her words. Despite so, his heart was a little upset.

"I know Carmel has a house here, but I don't know if anyone else lives there."

"Give me the address."

Nonetheless, this was a clue to Mango.

Meanwhile, Ned insisted on following Mango. Perhaps he did this because he didn't believe that Carmel would do something like this, or maybe he wanted to ensure Mango's safety.

On the other hand, Mango agreed for him to come along and drove with him to Carmel's residence.

However, he was surprised that Ned actually had the key to the house

When they walked in, Mango looked at the tea cup in the living room. The water inside was still hot, indicating that someone had just left when they opened the door. Obviously, Ned also noticed this as well.

"Carmel, are you there?"

Mango was standing in the middle of the living room as she looked around. Suddenly, she sensed a gaze on her. Then, she said faintly, "Carmel, I don't care who you're working for or whose side you're on. I just want to know where my youngest son is."

The room was quiet, as if no one was inside. However, Mango knew that Carmel was present.

"Carmel, I don't mean to interrogate you about anything, and you can choose to not tell me anything. I just want to know where my son is. You've been with my grandpa for so many years, and now he's in the hospital because of my son's disappearance. Are you sure this is what you want?"

In the dark, Carmel's hands were tightly clenched, and she was struggling. Then, she covered her ears as she didn't want to hear Mango's words. However, she kept hearing Mango's words no matter how hard she tried to ignore them.

"I was kind to you when you were here with me. You can let me know if there's anything you're dissatisfied with, and I will try my best to change what I can. After all, I am

be able to understand my feelings now. Carmel, I'm begging you. Please!"

Carmel could hear everything that Mango was saying.

Meanwhile, Ned was a little angry as Carmel was still nowhere to be found.

mother and a woman, so you should

"Carmel Liu, come out now! What were your intentions for approaching me back then? Did you take away Madam's child? Even if you're using me for your own advantage, can you at least let me know about it?"

At this moment, Carmel felt as if her heart was about to be torn apart.

She took a deep breath and finally walked out.

On the other hand, Mango was a little excited when she saw Carmel.

"Carmel."

"Madam, I'm sorry. I can't tell you the whereabouts of Lucas. However, he is very safe, and you don't have to worry much."

Mango narrowed her eyes slightly after hearing what Carmel had said.

"I'm his mother. I want to see my son."

"But I don't have a say in this."

"Then you should get someone who calls the shots to the talk to me!"

Mango was stubborn.

Upon hearing Carmel's confession, Ned knew that Mango was speaking the truth.

Carmel had betrayed him, and she was now working for the enemies.

"Why? Carmel Liu, will tell me why?"

Carmel bit her lower lip and did not speak when she heard Ned questioning her. However, a hint of tears and guilt flashed across her eyes.

Looking at Mango's injured shoulder, Carmel felt sorry for her.

"Madam, you're injured. You should go back and rest early. I'll take care of Lucas."

"Are you guys planning to lock up my son forever? Why? Is it because he has blue eyes? But there are foreigners in my family's ancestors and that's a fact. My son is very normal." Carmel understood what Mango was saying, but she really couldn't make the decision herself.

"Madam, please go back."

"Carmel, you're planning to go against me, aren't you?"

Mango looked at Carmel for the last time and asked with a sharp gaze.

Carmel bit her lower lip, but she neither replied nor refuted Mango's question. Despite so, everyone knew what her choice was based on how she was acting.

"Who is the person working behind you?"

"Madam, please leave."

Carmel had been repeating the same words, and Mango could tell that she was not going to tell the truth.

Meanwhile, Mango was contemplating whether she should take Carmel with her.

She believed that she could get any clues out of Carmel as long as she caught her.

Just as she was thinking about this, Ned suddenly attacked Carmel.

However, Carmel didn't expect that Ned would make a move. She was startled and was caught off guard by Ned.

"Don't move!"

Ned held her up with a strong and forceful move that Carmel couldn't break free.

Mango saw the pain and devastation in Ned's eyes, but she still made up her mind and said, "Take her away!"

After that, Ned lifted Carmel up and walked out.

The moment they opened the door, a bullet aiming straight at Carmel came out of nowhere.

At this crucial moment, Ned pushed her away and blocked the bullet for her.

The bullet hit Ned's chest, as bright red blood splattered all over the place. Hence, Carmel was totally shocked at this scene.

"Ned!"

She pounced on him like a madman, but she was pulled back by Mango. Then, Mango quickly grabbed hold of her, and both of them rolled towards the corner.

Suddenly, a series of bullets brushed the ground.

Carmel started tearing up at this scene.

"You bastard!"

She knew that if Ned hadn't protected her, the bullet would have shot straight through her chest.

The other party wanted to kill her to bury the truth of this incident!

Meanwhile, Ned moved a few steps backwards and sat down on a bunker. Looking at Carmel's terrified expression, he said concernedly, "Who on earth are you working for? They're going to kill you. Are you really going to walk down the path of evil?"

Carmel bit her lower lip with some hesitation, and her eyes were filled with tears.

"Stop forcing me!"

"Am I forcing you? Carmel Liu! Can't you think about your current situation! Ahem!"

Ned coughed as he reprimanded her.

Mango frowned slightly when she saw this scene.

She didn't know how many people were outside. However, they would be in danger if the three of them continue to stay there.

What should she do?

Mango looked at Ned who was injured. He could die from losing too much blood!

She quickly called Henry and ordered the people of the Dark Night Empire for assistance. However, before the rescue team arrived, they needed to save themselves first.

But now, Carmel could take the opportunity to escape once she was released.

But if she didn't let Carmel go, she wouldn't have a chance to save Ned.

While she was still in a dilemma, Carmel suddenly opened her mouth.
