The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)
Chapter 594

He didn't care about the rise or fall of the Ye Family, nor did he care about Nathaniel's life. He just wanted the person who betrayed him? Who was that person?

How could he not care about Nathaniel's life?

Didn't he hate Nathaniel so much?

Mango looked at Nick, but he didn't explain anything. She wasn't able to read the emotions within his eyes.

Nick avoided eye contact and continued, "That person disappeared after that mission. Neither the military nor I can find any information about him. The only one who could hide him to this extent would be you. I searched for him for five years, but he was still nowhere to be found. Tell your boss to bring that person to the Underground City within a day. I will give you Mango in exchange. Otherwise, I will kill Mango and all your plans would be ruined."

"Wait here. I'll contact my boss. Don't you dare f*ck around. Nick, you must ensure Mango's safety. I want to hear her voice now."

Nick generously handed his phone over to Mango after he heard what Jigsaw said.

"I'm fine."

Mango only said those words before Nick snatched the phone back from her.

"Did you hear that? She's fine. Don't bother looking for me. I'm more than capable of hiding from you since I can even lure Nathaniel here. Don't provoke me, as you know very well what I'm willing to do. Do you think I will care about a woman's life if I can disregard my own brother's life? Mango means nothing to me. However, I believe you are sure of what she means to you."

"You're ruthless, Nick. No wonder you are Nathaniel's younger brother! Wait for me!"

Jigsaw was so angry that he hung up the phone and then quickly got in touch with his boss.

Mango looked at Nick and finally asked, "Why?"

"What do you mean by 'why'?"

"Why did you do that? Do you really hate your brother that much?"

Mango looked at the familiar face in front of her and suddenly felt a little sad for Nathaniel.

"Your brother lived in guilt for you for the past five years. He regretted letting you leave Ocean City on a mission for the last five years. He thought that you were dead! He lived like a zombie all the while! How dare you complain about him? Do you really not care about his life? The both of you are biological brothers!" "Brothers? Why didn't he stop me when I left Ocean City that time if he was my brother? Why didn't he bother saving me at the first instance when he knew I was in danger during the Nakasara mission? You said that he had been living in guilt for the past five years, but were you with him for those five years? You actually believe everything he said? Mango, only you women would trust his words."

Nick said coldly with unwillingness and injustice in his eyes.

Mango took a deep breath and said, "Yes, I wasn't by his side for the past five years, but I believe what he said. He even welcomed Macy to the Ye Family for the sake of you despite being vilified. You really thought he had feelings towards Macy? If there was really something between them, why didn't anything happen since you were already dead for five years? He was just taking care of your wife! He even sent me away when he knew I was pregnant because he was worried I would start a conflict with Macy. You had the most important place in his heart. How could you treat him like this?"

Mango's heart ached terribly as soon as she thought of what Nathaniel had to bear.

"We have been married for three years, and we have never had a child. Do you know his desire for a child? Do you know how he felt when he knew I was pregnant? I didn't know that time and thought that he liked Macy too. He didn't explained to me before that Macy was pregnant with his child. He did so much for you that he even transferred his shares in the Ye Family to Wisdom. Do you think he only does this out of guilt?"

Nick turned his head away, not looking at Mango. He said in a low voice, "So what if he really treated Nick well? It's too late."

"What do you mean? Why do you say that he's good to Nick? Aren't you Nick?"

Mango was sensitive enough to notice the loophole in Nick's words, so she asked in a hurry and began to feel a little nervous.

Nick turned his head to look at Mango. He stared at her for a long time. When Mango thought that he wouldn't say anything, he pointed at his own face and said, "My face is the same as yours, just like Marissa's. She used to look like this, and you've been turned into this by plastic surgery, so do I. Don't you see it?"

Mango was stunned.

"What are you saying?"

"Take a look at my face properly. This face is exactly the same as your husband's, so tell me, what do you see?"

Nick took the initiative to get close to Mango.

His face was the same as Nathaniel's. However, Mango noticed a surgical wound on Nick's face after she looked closer.

"You had cosmetic surgery?"

"Yes! But it's hard to tell as the skill of the surgeon was superb."

Mango was immediately stunned upon hearing what Nick said. She took a step back subconsciously before she pointed at him and asked, "Who are you if you're not Nick?"

"Who am I? I've almost forgotten who I was over the past five years. I used to think that I was Nick. Honestly, I want Nick to be alive more than anyone."

His eyes welled up with tears as he spoke. Hence, Mango could feel his sorrow and grief.

"Nick is dead?"

"He's dead since five years ago. Do you really think that he could really survive in the assassination against him? His spirit has dissipated five years ago. He was in my arms as he said his last words. He asked me to tell his brother that he had never hated him for the rest of his life. He feel proud to have such a brother in his life. He said that he had finally won his brother for once and that he had finally did something that is more glorious than his brother."""

He began to cry as he spoke. Hot tears slid down from the corners of his eyes.

Mango's heart was filled with shock and surprise.

"Since he said that he doesn't hate Nathan, then why did you..."

"I felt that it was not worth it for him! I felt unfair for him! Nathaniel could've saved him in the action that year, but he didn't. He would rather save others first than take Nick first. He was so close to Nick when he was about to die. So close till he could even touch him. Just a distance of a hand, and he had caused Nick to die."

"No, he won't! Nathan has always loved Nick. It's impossible that he won't go to save him unless there's someone else who he needs to save more than Nick."

Mango's words made the other party a little angry.

"Yes, there was someone particularly important who Nathaniel needed to save, but why did he have to be the hero? There were so many people there, so he didn't have to do it. Nick trusted him and admired him so much, yet he did not rescue Nick first."

He grabbed Mango's collar, and his anger was very obvious.

Mango could not answer his question.

She was not Nathaniel, but she knew that Nathaniel had his own reasons for doing so then, or perhaps he did not know that Nick would not be able to escape.

"Nick is a soldier, and he's also very skilled. It's impossible that he couldn't protect himself. I think Nathan thought the same at the time."

Mango's words stunned him for a moment. Then, he gritted his teeth and said, "That's right. Nick has excellent skills and is strong enough to protect himself. However, there were too many enemies. Someone stabbed Nick in the back, and that person is the man Nick once trusted the most!"

Nick let go of Mango after he said this.

It was only now that Mango understood why this person had disguised himself as Nick.

He used Nick's identity to enter the Dark Night Empire, and he used its power to find this person. Unfortunately, he had no results over these five years. He had to return to Ocean City and use Nathaniel in order to force the other party to come out.

Mango could tell that this person was definitely Nick's best friend, or rather a comrade-in-arms from the way he defended Nick.

"Who the hell are you?"

Mango's words made the other party go silent for a moment before he said in a low voice, "My name is Addison Fang, and I am a very ordinary soldier. However, Nick chose me when I accepted the secret mission. We lived together like a family in Nakasara for five years, and he took care of me like his own brother. He never got annoyed with me being stupid, and he tolerated me. There was once where he nearly sacrificed himself when he tried to rescue me from the Golden Triangle. Hence, I swore that he was going to be my blood brother. No matter what, we would always be together. However, he died in front of me. His blood was still warm and his eyes were still so familiar and clear. However, I can't see him ever again. Do you know that I feel so lucky to be able to have his face? I feel like he is smiling at me every morning when I look at the mirror. I wouldn't have survived these past five years if it weren't for this face."

Addison touched his face and laughed a little maniacally.

Mango couldn't understand this kind of relationship, but she suddenly didn't know what to say.

"Who was the person who stabbed the knife in

Nick's back?"

"A man who used to be Nick's best friend. He was a loser in the army. Everyone thought that he died during the Nakasara mission. The country even gave him high honors and he enjoyed the title of martyr like Nick. But I know that he is still perfectly alive! He was protected by someone. He was once Nick's commanding officer, and no one knew Nick's true identity except for him. He was the one that blew Nick's cover and stabbed Nick in the back with a knife when Nick went to report the success of the mission! Shouldn't someone like that be drawn and quartered?"

Addison's words caused Mango to nod her head subconsciously. However, what Addison was about to say stunned her.
