The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)
Chapter 522

The call was answered by an unknown man!

Mango was familiar with everyone in the Ye Mansion, and she couldn't help but feel nervous after hearing the voice of a stranger.

What happened to Madam Ye?

Perhaps she was also being controlled by Nick?

If that was the case, wasn't it improper for her to stay with Walter now?

Mango hurriedly got up to leave. Just then, she bumped into Walter, who walked out of the dressing room.

"What's wrong with you?"

Walter asked worriedly upon seeing her anxious expression.

"I have to go back. Madam Ye may be in danger."

After saying that, Mango stood up to leave. However, she was grabbed on the arm by Walter.

"What on earth has happened? Since you have followed me here, it means that you're in trouble. Otherwise, you will not go with me without caring about your reputation. I know how much you care so much about Nathaniel. Seeing that you've made up your mind to go with me, then the Ye Mansion is not safe anymore. So, why are you going back now?"

Indeed, Walter was quite clever. Perhaps he and Nathaniel was neck and neck with each other after disregarding his ruffian character.

Mango looked at Walter and she pondered for a moment before saying, "I shouldn't tell you about the matter about Ye family, nor should I have troubled you. But now, I really have no other choice." "Tell me. I will help you no matter what happens, even if it's involving your matter or the Ye family."

Upon hearing his words, Mango felt that she owed him too much. She couldn't give Walter the love he wanted, but Mango had been dragging him into problems again and again. As such, she felt sorry about everything.

"Actually, you don't have to be so nice to me."

"You've saved my life. So, isn't it reasonable for me to do something for you? I know what you're thinking. You're afraid that you owe me too much, and you can't pay me back, right? Mango, listen to me. If it weren't for you, I would have died in that fire when I was a child. Even if I like you, that's my own business, and it has nothing to do with you. You don't need to be burdened by it, and you can still treat me as your brother or friend. I'm happy as long as you need me."

Mango did not dare to look him in the eyes.

He had uttered those words too boldly and forthrightly.

"Thank you."

Although Mango had so much to say, in the end, she could only say these two words to express her feelings.

"That's enough, you don't have to thank me. Tell me, what's going on?"

Walter pulled her to the bedside before sitting down.

Mango felt rather at ease with him around.

"I'm worried that Madam Ye is being held captive by others."

Mango told him about Nick, as well as how Rita had been taken away by him.

Hearing this, a frown creased his forehead.

"Is that really Nick that you're talking about?"

Mango was stunned by his question.

"If not, who else could it be?"

Mango then forced a smile.

If possible, she also hoped that the despicable person was not Nick. After all, everything could be easier if it didn't involve a family member.

Walter frowned and he said, "Although I don't like Nathaniel very much, me, him, and Nick grew up together. We also did some bad things together when we were children. No matter what, Nick will never do such a thing to his brother. Moreover, Nick respects Madam Ye the most, so he could never harm his mother."

Hearing that, Mango sighed before replying, "But the situation now is just like what I've said. Perhaps Nick wasn't bad when he was a child, but his behavior has indeed changed. Maybe he likes Macy for real and after her death, Nick put all the blame on Nathan and me. Perhaps that's what causes him to be like that."

"Even if it's because of Macy, I believe that he will never try to harm Nathaniel."

Mango was somewhat surprised at his certainty.

"Why do you say so?"

Walter pondered for a moment and he said, "Maybe he and Nathan did have some sort of conflict because of Macy, but he will never harm his brother and the people he cares about. Besides, I know that Nick would never abuse a woman or a child. Even if he has disappeared for five years, I'm sure that he won't hurt you and the children to get what he wants. Nick knows that he shouldn't involve other people in the feud, and he will settle things directly with that person. If what you said is true, that he hates you and Nathaniel because of Macy, then he would confront your husband head-on instead of scheming against you two. Also, he will never torture his family just because of something trivial. Yet, from what you said, it seems that all his actions are planned, and he is luring everyone into the game step by step. This is nothing like Nick at all. Not to mention, he likes kids the most, so Nick will never kill his son!"

Mango was stunned by his words.

"Are you sure that the person you're talking about is Nick?"

"Of course! But I'm not sure about Nick in the present."

"What do you mean?"

Mango narrowed her eyes as if she had understood something else from his words.

Meanwhile, Walter shook his head before saying, "There's nothing to prove my statement now. Instead, let me take you to meet someone." "Who is it?"

"Susie."

Mango was slightly shocked.

Only then did she remember that Susie was the one who tried to assassinate her in the hospital. After that, that woman was taken away by Walter.

"Where is she?"

"She's right here!"

Mango was taken aback again. She never thought that Walter would lock Susie up in the Song household.

"Surprised?"

"Yeah!"

Walter smiled again alongside his carefree attitude. However, for some reason, Mango felt sorry for him.

No one knew how much loneliness and sorrow that he was hiding behind the smile.

"How come she's in your house? I thought you had Thomas to deal with her."

Upon hearing her words, Walter sneered, "Thomas? He does have some abilities, but he's too reserved. That guy relies too much on Nathaniel, so he won't be able to achieve much."

"Stop saying that. Thomas is quite outstanding, and he stayed by Nathan's side all this time as a token of gratitude. In fact, you guys are brothers, and life's too short to bear grudges. Thomas was also having a difficult time for the past few years. Can't you..."

"Mango, if you dare say anything more, I'll get angry."

Walter's expression turned ugly.

No one knew the anguish that he had been through.

Seeing him like this, Mango had no choice but to change the topic.

"Fine. Where is Susie then?"

Her words made him feel better.

"The basement of our house. Come with me."

Walter took Mango with him and they went straight to the basement.

Carter and his partner were not in the living room, while the other servants were also wary of Walter and they were avoiding him. Hence, Mango wasn't in that much of an awkward situation anymore.

The two of them arrived at the basement soon.

They hadn't seen each other for a few days, and the captive was already looking lackluster and spiritless. Mango almost couldn't believe that the person in front of her was Susie Zhong.

Her face, which was originally bright and plump, was wrinkled and she had lost its vitality after going through all the sufferings.

Walter really showed no mercy to Susie. Her body was covered in wounds and lesions. It was a terrible sight to behold.

"Susie?"

Mango called out softly.

Susie suddenly opened her eyes, and she looked at them with a gaze full of hatred.

"You sh*thead couple. I'm cursing you to death!"

"Keep your mouth shut. You're looking for a beating, don't you?"

Walter spoke calmly, but his words made Susie tremble with fear.

Mango didn't know how Walter had been treated Susie all this time. However, she could sense the ruthlessness behind his smile. Mango couldn't believe that the once arrogant and mighty woman would end up like this.

She had never thought of Walter as a kind person, but Mango knew that the world had been constantly deceived by his cheeky attitude.

Mango coughed awkwardly before saying, "How much do you know about Nick?"

"He is my daughter's husband and my grandson's father. However, that cowardly man always put Nathaniel and Madam Ye as his priorities. My daughter was blinded by him, that she even gave birth to his child! If I knew that he was such a loser, I would never let Macy be with him!"

Susie was gnashing her teeth in anger when she mentioned Nick. It seemed that she wasn't faking it.

"Are you saying that Nick cares about Nathaniel and Madam Ye the most?"

Susie glared at Mango and she said coldly, "Stop pretending. If Nick has ever hated Nathaniel, your husband would never gain a foothold in the Ocean City. Also, I won't be treated like this by you guys. Mango don't get too excited. I will have someone to kill you and Nathaniel one day!"

"Who's that someone?"

Mango felt that there was a hidden meaning behind her words. However, Susie refused to say anything more.

"She's asking you."

Walter directly kicked her wounded areas. Although Susie was shivering in pain, she remained silent.

Obviously, that person was Susie's last hope.

Who was it?

Mango frowned slightly, and she couldn't reason it out. However, since Susie refused to disclose anything, Mango knew that it was impossible to get an answer from her.

"I'm waiting for the person you're talking about."

After saying that, Mango left the place with Walter.

Mango couldn't stand being in the poorly ventilated basement any longer. Thus, she couldn't hold herself up, and Walter quickly supported her.

"Are you all right? Do you want me to call Noah over to have a look?"

"I'm fine. I can still hold on. It's just that I really think that there's something odd about Nick."

Mango muttered to herself with a serious expression.

She and Nathaniel had never doubted Nick. Now that Mango thought about it, the current Nick was indeed suspicious.
