The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)
Chapter 611

Mango didn't like Madam Hans, and she even blamed her for what had happened in the past. However, she didn't need Madam Hans to give up her life for her.

As her thoughts whirled through her mind, her body started for the door.

"Stop her!"

Madam Ye's men blocked Mango's path immediately the moment she barked the order.

"Mrs. Ye, don't make things difficult for us. Please go back."

"Get out of my way!"

Mango's eyes were burning with tears.

She had always thought that she didn't care about this relationship, partly because Madam Hans had hurt her before. She had always refused to admit that she was a member of the Hans family. But now, she didn't want to be indebted to Madam Hans. No way.

The men felt bad but insisted still, "Mrs. Ye, I'm sorry. Please go back."

Mango didn't waste any more time and immediately made her move.

She had skills, but they were nothing when faced against those who had been specially trained.

It didn't take long for Mango to be held still.

"Let go of me! Let go!"

As Mango struggled, Madam Ye said with a sneer, "Oh, so you wish to stop her? Do you think you can? Madam Hans wishes to die because of you. Do you think she would change her mind about our deal? It's strange though, she used to look down on you, didn't she? She wanted to kick you out of the Hans household. What gives? Does she actually care about your well-being now? Up to the point where she is willing to sacrifice herself? I guess blood IS thicker than water."

"How would you understand any of it? You will never understand this feeling your whole life. It is God's punishment for you to not have children of your own! You will never truly understand familial affection! I pray that you will die a miserable death!"

Mango's anger was fueled as she became anxious.

Madam Ye's expression instantly darkened upon hearing Mango's words.

Being unable to bear children was a scar that could not be healed.

If only she had a son of her own, there wouldn't be a reason for her to be so careful now to get on good terms with Nathaniel. It was simply too suffocating for her. Right now, Mango's words were like daggers that pierced deep into her chest.

She approached Mango fiercely and growled, "What did you just say? I'll cut off that tongue of yours!"

"Cut it off, then! Nick is dead. What do you think will happen if Nathan finds out how you've been treating me? Everything you have now is given by Nathaniel. A woman like you shouldn't have anyone by your side. You should just grow old while you're stuck being sad and lonely. You should die miserably too!"

There was a loud 'smack!' as Madam Ye slapped Mango harshly.

Mango's cheek burned from the impact, and it was accompanied by a metallic taste in her mouth. However, she glared and said coldly, "Even if you beat me to death, you can't change the fact that you're just a lonely woman. You don't even have a heart. You don't deserve to be a mother, let alone a human being!"

"Hah! Alright, then!"

Madam Ye was so furious that she started laughing.

She phoned Madam Hans and turned on speakerphone in front of Mango.

"Madam Hans, I've changed my mind. The Hans family owes the Ye Family a life. I don't think it's enough with you dying without a trace. I would always despise Mango if I can't relieve my hatred. Oh, by the way, I drenched her in cold water and told her to clean the floor and house. She might catch a cold or fever. You might not know yet, but her arm is injured and it's best to avoid water. Oh, her back is scalded too. Tsk, tsk. Poor thing, but I find it quite pleasant to watch. I can't help it!"

"You've gone too far! You promised me that you wouldn't hurt Mango! That child has suffered too much, how could you do this to her? She shouldn't pay for Mateo's crimes. As I said, I'll die. Can't I sacrifice my life in exchange for hers? You promised me. You promised me that as long as I died, you'd let her go free! Madam Ye, you have to keep your word!"

Madam Hans cried out at the top of her voice.

In an instant, Mango's eyes stung painfully.

"No! Don't promise her anything! Please! I don't need you to do this! Do you think I will be grateful to you? I will never forget how you hurt me. I told myself that I will never step into the Hans household again. I have nothing to do with the Hans family. Your life is worthless to me. Don't

promise her!"

Mango struggled in the men's grasps and cried.

As Madam Hans heard Mango's voice, she smiled and said, "I know that you will never forgive me. I've done things I'm not proud of in the past. But Mango, Grandma is half-dead. If I can change your future, I don't care."

"I said, I don't need you to do it. Don't you understand?"

Mango's chest tightened and her heart throbbed with pain.

Madam Hans gently replied, "I haven't done much for you since you were younger. I have to pay for what that b*stard Mateo did. We're not innocent, and you're the only innocent one here. Mango, when I'm no longer around, don't let yourself suffer for a man. Our family has always been clear about debts. What we owe the Ye Family, I'll pay back in full! You don't have to be sad. Live a happy life, that's all I ask for." "Enough with the nonsense. Madam Hans, it doesn't matter if you die or not. What matters is that your death must be known to the entire Ocean City."

Both Mango and Madam Hans were stunned by Madam Ye's words.

"What do you mean?"

"I'll leave that thought to you. Half an hour is all I give. If news of your death isn't spread by the media in half an hour, I will make life a living hell for Mango. You should know too. Nathan is busy and he won't be able to come back immediately. By the time he's back, I'll just tell him that Mango left. Who do you think he'll believe? His mother, or your granddaughter? Don't even think of paying your debt by dying quietly." Madam Ye's words suddenly made sense to Mango.

"You want her to admit that Mateo murdered Nick to the media?"

"Isn't that the way it's supposed to be? Your family should give the Ye Family an explanation! An explanation to everyone! Shouldn't you let the public know that the high and mighty Hans Family has a b*stard amongst them?

Madam Ye glaringly stared at Mango.

"No! No way!"

Mango shook her head with much effort.

Madam Hans' four sons and husband had all sacrificed their lives for the sake of the country. Even though Mateo had murdered Nick, there was no need to erase all of the Hans family's contributions, was there? Not to mention, this hurt Madam Hans more than ending her own life.

Not only did she want to force Madam Hans to her death, but she also wanted to destroy the Hans family forever and ensured they were criticized by everyone. She even wished to keep her and Nathaniel apart by doing this.

Once this was announced, everyone would think that it was inappropriate for Nathaniel and her to be together. Even if she didn't care, how would Nathaniel react, and what would he think? How would he present himself to all of Ocean City?

Mango looked at Madam Ye in front of her. She was still poised and elegant, but Mango was certain a demon lived in her heart.

"Madam Hans, please don't agree with her! You can't!"

Mango cried as she struggled. Unfortunately, not much strength was left in her. Her arms hurt badly and her back burned. But now, she couldn't care less.

Madam Hans was silent as well on the other end.

"What's the matter? Don't you want to die anymore? Or are you unwilling to give up the Hans family's reputation? Didn't you say you were sorry for Mango? I thought you said that you're willing to give up everything for her? Madam Hans, it turns out that it was all just big talk. This is your so-called familial affection, then."

Madam Ye sneered.

Madam Hans took a deep breath and finally spoke, "Alright, I promise you. The Hans family does owe the Ye Family an explanation. However, you have to keep your promise to not make things difficult for Mango."

"No! Grandma, please don't!"

Mango's chest tightened involuntarily.

Madam Hans was shaken by her words.

"What did you just call me? Did you call me Grandma? My child, I no longer have any regrets after you finally called me that. What the Hans family owes you, I am unable to pay back for the rest of my life. If you're willing, visit my grave often in the future. Remember, don't suffer for the sake of anyone. You are a child of the Hans family, you have the right to live according to your will entirely. Even though Mateo made some mistakes, your father, your grandfather, and your uncles are all good men! With their protection, you'll be guaranteed a happy life."

"No, Grandma, please don't! I don't want you to die! Don't promise her!"

Mango could no longer control the tears that welled up.

Madam Hans said to Madam Ye, "A gentleman always keeps his promises. Although we aren't gentlemen, I'll willing to use my life to gain your trust. Don't make things difficult for my granddaughter anymore. I'l pay the debt we owe to the Ye Family."

After that, she hung up.

Mango's heart felt as it was about to shatter into a million pieces.

"Let me go! Let go!"

Madam Ye looked at Mango and said in a low voice, "Lock her up in the basement. After Madam Hans' death, arrange for her to be sent away by boat. You have to promise that you will never appear in front of Nathan ever again. Otherwise, don't fault me if go against the promise I made to your Grandma."

"You'll pay for this!"

Mango spat at her as she tried to struggle free, but she failed.

"I'm not sure if I'll pay. I only know that I want the Ye Family to be peaceful again, where Nathan respects me. Nick is gone forever, and what the Hans family owes us, they have to pay for it. You're the daughter of the Hans family. No matter what, I won't let you appear in front of Nathan, not even in this house, ever again. You can take Rita, but Zion is the grandson of the Ye Family. Don't even think about taking him away! Mango, you should be glad that you have a Grandma like that. Otherwise, what do you think the rest of your life will be like?"

Madam Ye's words caused Mango's anger to spike to its peak.

Her hands and legs were tied down, and she was so furious to the point that she couldn't help but spit on Madam Ye's face.

"Bah! You beast!"

Madam Ye hadn't expected this, and anger instantly coursed through her causing her eyes to burn with fury.

Just as she was about to raise her arm to hit Mango, someone suddenly walked in and halted Madam Ye in her tracks.
