The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)
Chapter 519

"Let go of me!"

Mango snapped in a stern voice, causing Hadley to loosen his grip involuntarily. However, he still said anxiously, "Mrs. Ye, please trust me! I'm really a subordinate of Mr.Lucy, and my boss is doing this for Mr. Ye's sake."

"Get out!"

Mango rebuked coldly. It was as if she had no intention of talking to him anymore.

Hadley was stunned by her response.

"Are you really Mrs. Ye? Or are your feelings for Mr. Ye are fake? Aren't you worried about his safety?"

Seeing his desperate expression, she suddenly thought of something before saying impassively, "My family issues have nothing to do with you. Now, my identity is Katherine, the designer. I won't be caring about your issues anymore if it's unrelated to my work. I know the best about my husband's abilities and character. Thank you for your concern."

After that, she lowered her head to work again.

Hadley was stunned for a moment before walking out dejectedly.

Mango's gaze wandered for a bit and she was in a trance-like state. Unknowingly, the design plan in front of her seemed to have transitioned into something different, and her mind was filled with the images of Nathaniel.

What on earth had happened to him?

Where was he?

Mango reached out for her phone.

At this time, Nick suddenly came in.

"Mango, here's your lunch."

She retreated her hands once more.

"Why did you bring it up here?"

"It's nothing. I just came to see your progress with the design. After all, the customers are in a hurry, so I hope you won't blame me for urging you."

Nick placed the fo od in front of her.

She said smilingly, "It's fine. I'll be able to complete it before getting off work today."

"You're really amazing!"

Nick took a glance at her work. Indeed, her design was much better than those rookies he employed. Upon seeing this, he was relieved.

"I won't disturb you then, and I'll go back first. Eat up while the food it's still warm."

After saying that, Nick left.

Mango suddenly lost her appetite as she looked at the food in front of her.

What a coincidence that Nick came in right after Hadley left!

This was obviously a trick. However, she had no idea whether that guy was working for Nick or not.

Was he aware of Nathaniel's whereabouts for real? Or was he merely someone sent by Nick to set her up?

Mango narrowed her eyes and she was deep in thoughts.

She called Nathaniel once again, but unfortunately, the phone was still not connected. Just then, Mango felt a little more uneasy. Did something really happen to him?

Mango thought of Merle again and she quickly gave him a call. Unfortunately, she couldn't get in touch with him as well.

Since Mango had no appetite, she focused all her attention on the design drawings.

Soon, the rookies returned to the office one after another. Upon seeing that Mango was still working, they didn't dare to slack off. Therefore, they quickly started working according to Mango's instructions previously.

Under Mango's lead, the employees in the design department were full of passion.

Finally, it was about time to get off work, and Mango had finished designing the draft.

She stretched herself with a yawn while heading to the resting room to get a glass of water. Suddenly, Mango heard some noise when she passed by the storeroom.

She couldn't help but stop in her tracks.

There seemed to be someone inside!

Mango opened up the door and she saw that Hadley was tied up against the wall with his mouth stuffed with something. He was crying helplessly.

Seeing this, she frowned slightly. Then, Mango walked over in a hurry to remove the stuff from his mouth.

"Mrs. Ye, get out of here quickly!"

Hadley said anxiously.

Just as Mango was about to say something, she suddenly heard footsteps resounding from the outside.

Mango quickly stuffed the item back into his mouth. Then, she closed the door before hiding in a corner.

When the door was opened again, a man walked in. However, Mango couldn't recognize the person. She supposed that the person was a member of the HY Group because he was wearing the company's uniform.

Meanwhile, Hadley became agitated when he saw this person.

The captor looked at him before smirking, "You are really stubborn! You should know that you can never benefit from Boston, and now you've also lost your job. Mr. Ye said that as long as you are willing to tell him about Boston's whereabouts, he will appoint you as a sales manager. I heard that your mother is seriously ill, and she needs cash recently, right? Mr. Ye will give you as much money as you want if you reveal the truth."

Hadley shook his head furiously.

The man took off the stuff on his mouth and he continued, "Why are you so persistent? You've been in the company for three years, and you're just a lowly assistant. Now you don't even get the chance for promotion! As you know, Mr. Ye wants only the address of Boston, so why don't you cooperate with us? I heard that you're even planning to look for Mrs. Ye? You fool! How can Mrs. Ye believe your words when Mr. Ye has such a good relationship with his brother? I suggest you be wiser and think about yourself, okay? How will your mother live without you at home?"

"You guys are inhumane! Let me tell you, if you dare to hurt my mother, I will not let you go even after death!"

Hadley lashed out angrily while his eyes turned tearful.

"Why do you have to say it like that? No one has ever thought of killing you. Still not telling us, huh? You should know that this is your only chance. If you still refuse to say it, then you may never see your mother again."

After being threatened, Hadley was stunned for a moment and he suddenly realized something.

"You guys will be punished for everything! Definitely!"

"Sadly, you won't live long to see it!"

Hadley's mouth was muffled again, and another two people entered the room to take him away.

Mango witnessed everything that happened with her own eyes.

She didn't know if it was all set up by Nick on purpose. Despite that, she still followed behind them out of concern.

Several men took Hadley away through the back door. They avoided all the monitoring systems, then shoved him into the car before speeding away.

Mango quickly called to order her subordinates to follow after the van. She wanted to save Hadley just in time.

Right now, Mango had no choice but to send someone from the Dark Night Empire to rescue him.

After everything was done, Mango didn't dare to stay any longer. She immediately went back to the pantry to pour a cup of coffee for herself. Then, Mango returned to the office again. "Where did you go?"

Nick once again appeared in the department, which made Mango feel uncomfortable.

"Why do you keep coming here to urge me? What's wrong? Do you have no confidence in me or do you have something else to say? Or perhaps you're secretly watching over me?" Mango was sounded displeased.

Nick hurriedly explained, "Mango, you've misunderstood. I'm in a hurry, so I just came to check up on your progress."

"If you're in such a hurry, you should hire some good designers to work for you. What's with these inexperienced rookies? Are you trying to let them take the lead? Also, what happened to the previous designers?"

Mango was not as easy-going as she was at home.

Perhaps it was due to the matter involving Hadley, or it was because there was still no news from Nathaniel, Mango was feeling pressured and everything had exceeded her maximum endurance.

Nick was stunned for a moment, but he quickly replied, "Yes, it's definitely because of my negligence. As you know, Nathan used to manage HY Group, and some former employees have been working for him all this time. Now that my brother has retired, they have also resigned. So, I really can't find a suitable designer for now. How about this? Since you're talented in this area, why don't you take the lead of the design department? You can recruit anyone or do whatever you want, and it's all up to you. What do you think?"

Mango didn't expect Nick to give her such a privilege, but she said in a low voice, "I do like car design, but I don't want to work for the HY Group anymore."

"Mango, how can you give up on your favorite career? My brother would disagree with your action too. Since you have nothing to do at home, why don't you come to help me?"

Although Nick pleaded sincerely, Mango knew that he had ulterior motives.

"No, Nathan and I will travel abroad soon. By that time, we may not be able to help you. Once he and Zion are back, our family will leave Ocean City. So, you should pay more attention to the design department. After all, it's your company now. You can't make it without some excellent designers."

After that, she handed the design over to him.

"This is the design demanded by the customer. You can send it over to them and see if they're satisfied with it. It's getting late, and I have to go home now. As you know, I've been feeling unwell lately, so I can't stay here for too long. Besides, I don't have much time to think about these things right now. After all, my son is still missing."

Nick was slightly stunned upon hearing her words. Then, he said, "Alright, no problem. Sorry for the trouble. I'll get someone to send you back."

"It's fine. I want to take a stroll outside. Maybe I'll meet Zion on the way."

Mango directly rejected his offer.

She was being watched by Nick all the time in the Ye family's household. Now, Mango finally had a chance to come out and she had to make good use of it. Surprisingly, Nick didn't stop her. Instead, he said, "You have to take care of yourself. Call me when you get home so that I can rest assured."

"Got it."

After that, Mango left the office and she walked out of HY Group.

Mango didn't know what exactly Nick was planning to do, but she felt that everything was not as simple as she thought.

Meanwhile, Susie was taken away by Thomas and Walter. Mango wanted to ask about it, but she didn't have time to do so since many things happened recently.

Also, Terrance had destroyed the shooting club. Did those people in there have anything to do with Nick? Were they under Nick's lead?

Mango was eager to find out about these things.

She was trapped in the Ye family before having a chance to go out. Therefore, Mango should take the time to inquire about these things. Moreover, Nathaniel was missing and she couldn't get in touch with him. Could it possible that everything that happened correlated with his disappearance?

Mango wasn't sure either.

When she planned to take a taxi to find Walter or Terrance, her phone suddenly rang.

Mango frowned slightly when she saw that it was the call from home.

"Hello?"

"Madam, come back quickly. Someone took Wisdom and Rita away!"

Lucy was in a panic, and Mango felt a pang in her heart upon hearing this.
