The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)
Chapter 604

"There's news about Zion? What's going on?"

Mango quickly raised her head.

"Yes, Mrs. Ye. There's news from Sir Zion."

Nathaniel became nervous because of the report from his subordinates.

"What's going on? Where's Zion?"

"Mr. Ye, the helicopter that Sir Zion took had run out of gas, so he was forced to land and wait for our people to send fuel over. Sir Zion is fine, and all is well."

Nathaniel and Mango finally heaved a sigh of relief after hearing what their subordinates said.

"This brat, it's great that the fuel had run out. Otherwise, I don't know what he would do if he went over."

Nathaniel sighed and thought of Wisdom again.

Mango also felt a bit depressed.

"Go pick up Rita. Let Zion come back on his own."

His subordinates set off as soon as Nathaniel finished speaking.

"Mango, I have to go to work. I have a lot of things to deal with recently. I have to solve the mess left behind by Addison." "Okay, but what are you going to do with Addison's body?"

Mango still asked even if she knew that Nathaniel had a lot of criticism towards Addison, especially the fact that he had hurt Wisdom.

Although Addison had hurt Wisdom and the Ye family, he did it all for Nick and the Ye family. He had even sacrificed his own life for them. His good deed couldn't be ignored like that. Nathaniel's gaze was complex and he did not speak for a long time.

Nathaniel finally spoke just when Mango thought that he wouldn't say anything.

"I will get someone to handle his body properly. The Ye Family will buy him a plot in the graveyard, and I'll hire someone to keep it clean."

"All right."

Mango knew that Nathaniel had always been kind when it came to treating his family. Perhaps he had treated Addison as his younger brother long ago.

"You're also very disappointed, aren't you?"

Mango knew that Nathaniel was extremely down in the dumps.

Nathaniel whispered, "I almost collapsed five years ago when I knew that Nick was dead. Nobody knows how thankful I was when I found out that he was alive. I wanted to treat him several times better than before, and I even gave Wisdom to him. Who knew it was all just a fraud? Although they did it all for Nick, and to lure Mateo out, the deception and harm they put me through isn't something that I can forgive. Plus, Wisdom is still a kid. I will never forgive them for this matter. Never!"

After that, Nathaniel patted Mango's head and left the house.

On the other hand, Mango didn't feel too good either.

When she returned to Wisdom's room, she saw Madam Ye sitting in front of Wisdom's bed. Then, she looked at Wisdom as she cried silently.

Mango didn't know what to say to Madam Ye.

She wasn't Mother Teresa, so she was unable to be nice towards someone who had used her. To be honest, Mango felt that she was already lenient enough.

Wisdom hadn't woken up yet. Madam Ye spoke just when Mango was about to leave.

"Do you think that I am an evil old witch? And how well I treated you before was fake?" Mango didn't know how to answer. Whatever she said now didn't seem to be appropriate. Hence, she remained silent.

Madam Ye turned to look at her and said, "I actually didn't like you from the start."

Mango was stunned for a moment. She should have known that Madam Ye didn't like her when she did not bother to even attend their wedding and just let Nanny Zhang take care of her without any concern in the first three years of her marriage. Madam Ye didn't even say anything when she and her children almost died in the fire 5 years ago. However, Madam Ye treated her very well when they got along with each other later on. This made her neglect those problems.

"Why were you so nice to me earlier since you didn't like me? Were you just doing that to use me?"

"Make use of you? What do you have that I could use?"

Madam Ye looked at Mango from head to toe and said coldly, "I was already dissatisfied with you when you pestered Nathaniel and forced him to marry you eight years ago. How could a proper lady do such a thing at a banquet? Not only did you embarrass yourself, but Nathan had lost too many opportunities after marrying a woman that was completely useless. Ask yourself, what can you do other than looking beautiful? You did not help the Ye family a single bit after marrying into our home."

Mango was stunned.

She never thought Madam Ye would think of her like this.

Mango took in a deep breath and asked, "If that's the case, why did you agree to this marriage?"

"Agree? Who said that I agreed? Why would I go overseas for such a long stay if I agreed to it? Although I'm Nathaniel and Nick's mom, I did not give birth to them. You would never know how anxious I felt to raise children that I did not give birth to. I have to prevent Nanny Zhang from instilling wayward thoughts in them because I was afraid they would leave me, and that the Ye family will not have a place for me. I have to please my son on purpose because of that. The news about you and Nathan was very viral at that time. Do you think Nathan would still see me as his mom if I violated his wish?"

"So, is that why you were indifferent towards our marriage?"

Mango didn't expect such a result.

Madam Ye did not bother to pretend anymore, so she said coldly, "Yes. You have been useless over these three years of marriage. I just thought of finding an opportunity to get Nathan and you to divorce. I guided Macy and got her to seek out Nick in Nakasara. I knew that he wouldn't like someone like Macy, but Macy liked Nathan. Nathan cared about Nick a lot, so he would definitely leave you for Macy when he knew that she went to seduce Nick. Then, the both of you would divorce once you butted heads over this. Who knew that Macy would want to marry Nick and become my daughter-in- law? Who did she think she was?"

Mango was completely stunned. She could never have imagined that things were like this.

"How could you do this? Do you know how unfair it is to Nick?"

"Unfair? What do you know? Nick was not as excellent as Nathan since his youth, but he was very filial and treated me very well. He really saw me as his biological mother. I always felt that he was my biological son everytime he held my hand and called me mom. It was a pity that he was not as capable as Nathan. However, he was very protective of Nathan. He even got into a fight because of him, so I had no choice but to let him leave Ocean City. I couldn't stop him when he found a job that was dangerous in Nakasara, but I wanted to leave an heir for him. Nick did not have the time to fall in love. Macy was very seductive and Nick would definitely fall for her. By that time, no matter where Nick was, I would at least know that the baby in Macy's stomach belonged to him and it's an offspring of the Ye family."

Madam Ye sighed and said, "I was planning on using Macy to alienate you and Nathan at first, but Macy had already given up on Nathaniel and no longer wanted to interact with him anymore. She even went to Nick instead. Although there was a change in the plan at that time, I still thought that as long if she could give birth to Nick's child, I could think of another plan to get rid of her and find a good wife for Nick. I never thought Nick would just leave like that. Macy was pregnant, but I lost my son. The only I could do was to have Macy go back Nathaniel. Nathaniel and you would only divorce only if she came back and caused some misunderstanding between the both of you."

"You actually thought of letting Macy get together with Nathan after she had been with Nick and got pregnant with his child?"

Mango felt that this was simply inconceivable.

However, Madam Ye laughed coldly and said, "She will not be able to do it. I understand Nathan. He loves Nick very much. He would never marry Macy no matter how much he loved her as long as he knew that the child in Macy's stomach belonged to Nick. However, Wisdom is still young and he needed a mother as well as an appropriate identity to stay in the Ye family too, so I asked Nathan to tell everyone that Wisdom was his son. On one end, it was to make sure Macy took care of the child, and the other end was to break your love for him."

"You know that I didn't die in the fire five years ago?"

Mango was able to understand the implied meaning in Madam Ye's words.

Madam Ye looked at Mango and said, "Of course. Otherwise, do you think Abyss would be able to get there just in time to rescue you? I hate you, but I never wanted you to die. Moreover, you're pregnant with the children of the Ye family. I was never worried that you would get pregnant because I thought that Nanny Zhang would never allow it. You have not told anyone about your pregnancy for three years, but I never thought you would get pregnant at the last minute like Macy. I knew what she did, and I know that Susie wanted to burn you to death. I gave a call to Madam Tang and got Abyss to go to Ocean City to have a meeting. The place he passed by was coincidentally the place where your accident happened. That was the only way you managed to still be alive. Speaking of this, you've got to thank me, right?" "Thank you? How could you say that? Would I have been severely burned in the fire if it weren't for you? How would Rita be so weak just after she was born if you didn't meddle in it? You should've just let me know that you didn't like me from the beginning. It would be better if you just asked me to leave Nathaniel than to put me through something like that. You not only hurt Nathan, Nick, and me, but also your grandchildren. How could you do such a thing?"

Mango was angry and it was hard for her to calm down.

She always thought that her misfortune was caused by Macy, Susie, and the others. She didn't expect that there would be a deeper plot behind this.

Her mother-in-law, whom she had always thought was very benevolent, was actually setting up a trap for her. She used her from the very beginning.

However, Madam Ye did not care and said, "Why can't I? The entire Ye family belongs to me! Nathan and Nick are the men they are today because of me. Shouldn't they listen to their mother? However, Nathan argued with me for the first time for you. He even ignored my words and wanted to marry you. What are you? Can you help Nathan in his career? What kind of glory can you bring to the Ye family?" "The Ye family is already so prosperous. What kind of glory do you need?"

"Yeah, our Ye Family is so prosperous, so why can't we choose a better daughter-in-law? Why do we have to settle for a loser like you who can't do anything at all? What achievements have you obtained even after I gave you the Dark Night Empire? What else can you do except for getting Merle to help you?"

Madam Ye's words caused Mango to be stunned.
