The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)
Chapter 619

"Is Nathan's home?"

When Madam Ye heard the news of Nathaniel's return, Nathaniel had already entered the house before she had any time to prepare.

"Where's Mango?"

The first words that came out of Nathaniel's mouth were about Mango.

Hearing this, displeasure flashed across Madam Ye's eyes.

"You've been away for two days, and all you think about is Mango the moment you return. I guess you don't care about your mother anymore after you've gotten married?"

Nathaniel ignored Madam Ye's complaints and quickly climbed the stairs to the bedroom. He searched high and low, but there was no sign of Mango.

After acknowledging that she really wasn't there, his heart sank even deeper.

More than once, he had told himself that everything wasn't true and that Mango was still happily waiting for him to return. However, reality dealt a heavy blow to him.

Lucy wanted to say something when she saw Nathaniel, but she decided against it and left as she felt Madam Ye's gaze on her.

After some time, Nathaniel still couldn't find Mango. Next, he went to the living room.

Madam Ye was sipping tea leisurely on the sofa. As she saw how anxious and upset Nathaniel was, her eyes darkened with displeasure.

"Look at yourself, you're letting a woman control you."

"Where is she? What did you do to her?"

Nathaniel asked impatiently.

Madam Ye paused briefly before saying, "What do you mean? Is this how you talk to your mother? Ever since the arrival of that woman, you don't see me as your mother anymore, do you?" "I'm asking you again, where is Mango? What did you do to her?"

Nathaniel's voice couldn't help but get louder.

Upon hearing this, Madam Ye was stunned by his attitude. Perhaps it was because she has never seen Nathaniel like this before.

"Tell me, where is my wife? What happened here?"

Nathaniel's expression was terrifyingly dark and he emitted a suffocating aura, as if he was ready for slaughter.

Upon his questioning, the surrounding servants looked at one another before they glanced towards Madam Ye.

Then, Madam Ye finally recovered, but now she had become furious.

"Nathaniel Ye, what is this attitude of yours?! I've told you that Mango ran away with a man, haven't I?! How long are you going to lie to yourself? That woman isn't worth it! Besides, her uncle murdered your brother. Don't you care about this? Have you forgotten their sins?"

"Where is Mango?!"

Nathaniel couldn't hear a word Madam Ye had said. Instead, he grabbed one of her servants' neck and asked furiously, "If you don't want to die, tell me the truth. Otherwise, wait till I make sense of all this, then all of you will have to pay!"

His words were serious threats, causing their faces to pale with fear.

Madam Ye quickly added, "Nathaniel, do you still see me as your mother?"

Nathaniel paused, before turning slowly to look at Madam Ye. He stared at her and he started to doubt what the text message had said.

In the past, Madam Ye had risked everything for the sake of the children and was almost shot by Abyss's men. Not only that, for the sake of Mango, she had not hesitated to go against the Hans family. She had once been such a good mother.

With this in mind, Nathaniel found it hard to believe that she was the person who harmed Mango!

However, not long ago, the fact that Madam Ye had assisted Addison in kidnapping Mango was still fresh in his mind.

Now, Nathaniel looked at Madam Ye and asked slowly, "Mother? Which one of you is real? The woman who is kind to the children and protective of Mango is my mother. Right now, are you still the same mom know?"

"What do you mean? Nathaniel, did someone spread rumors about me? I raised you and Nick and regarded both of you as my own. I even made great sacrifices for both of you. In the end, you're speaking as though I'm an evil witch. I have shed blood, sweat, and tears for you and the Ye Family. But here you are now, questioning me because of a woman?"

Madam Ye was emotionally blackmailing him.

However, Nathaniel ignored her and said to the servants beside him, "HI give you one last chance. Where's my wife? As long as you tell me the truth, I will promise you your family's safety. No one will be able to touch them, including my mother."

"Nathaniel Ye!"

Madam Ye stood up abruptly.

She knew that Nathaniel had always kept his word, and he was really going against her now.

All this for Mango?

Right now, Madam Ye despised Mango even more than before.

She was glad that she had already sent Mango away. Otherwise, given how Nathaniel was now, it wouldn't be long before she no longer had any power in the Ye Family.

She had worked hard all her life, and the entire Ye family was the result of her efforts. How could she let it fall into the hands of an outsider like Mango? How could she let her son, who she had raised, treat her like this?

The more she thought about it, the angrier Madam Ye got. The angrier she was, the more revolted she became.

"Nathaniel, what do you plan to do?"

However, Nathaniel continued to ignore Madam Ye's words and glared at her men coldly.

One of the servants' legs trembled slightly as he struggled with himself. Finally, he couldn't help but stutter, "Mr. Ye, we were only following orders. We didn't have a choice." "Tell me!"

Nathaniel's expression turned ice-cold.

At this moment, Madam Ye stepped forward and kicked the servant with force. She said fiercely, "Don't you dare utter any nonsense, believe me, I'll make you..."

"I have the final say in this house! Mom, don't forget that I'm in charge of this family now!"

With Nathaniel's words, Madam Ye's expression twisted into a ghastly visage.

"So? What do you want to do?"

"I just want to know the truth!"

Nathaniel's voice rang loudly in the air.

Suddenly, Madam Ye felt a chill run down her spine. However, since she was still Nathaniel's mother, she added uneasily, "The truth? What I have said is true!"

At this time, Thomas came rushing in.

"Mr. Ye, something happened to the Hans family."

"What is it?"

Nathaniel's gaze was still fixed at Madam Ye as he asked.

Thomas added hurriedly, "Madam Hans is dead. It is said that she jumped off a balcony yesterday."

"What?"

Nathaniel whipped his head around towards him.

"How is this possible?"

Thomas shook his head and stole a glance at Madam Ye. He then said in a low voice, "Perhaps Merle is the only person who knows why it happened. Our men were subdued, and they said that it was Merle who did it. Moreover, Madam Hans jumped right after he went to the Hans family's household."

Madam Ye quickly said, "Merle is a b*stard! The Ye Family has provided a roof over his head for so many years, but this is what he does now. Although the Hans family does owe us, we can't..."

"The Hans family doesn't owe us anything. Mateo didn't kill Nick! He was shot in the chest by drug dealers and died of excessive blood loss. Mateo wanted to infiltrate enemy lines, so Nick fulfilled this by sacrificing himself. Everything is over now. Here is a recording of what happened."

Nathaniel told Madam Ye everything.

Hearing this, Madam Ye was completely stunned.

"Impossible! Addison clearly said..."

"Addison is like a brother to Nick, but he is not a soldier, nor is he Nick's executive officer. What Addison saw was not entirely the truth. You and Addison have wrongfully accused Mateo. Mother, I only hope that Madam Hans' death has nothing to do with you!"

Nathaniel's chest tightened painfully.

No!

That was impossible!

Madam Ye would never do anything this absurd to the Hans family, right?

However, Madam Ye avoided Nathaniel's question and averted her eyes.

Nathaniel's heart shattered bit by bit.

"Was it you? Did you force Madam Hans to her death?"

"No! She wanted to die. It had nothing to do with me!"

Madam Ye denied quickly, but as soon as she she finished speaking, she realized that she had uttered the truth herself.

"No, Nathan, wait, listen to me..."

However, Nathaniel shook off Madam Ye abruptly. His heart ached so much that he wasn't sure if he could bear it anymore.

His mother had forced Mango's grandmother to her death. He shuddered to imagine how upset Mango would have been when she heard the news.

"Where are the people that I have ordered to stay here to protect Mango?"

Nathaniel felt as though his heart was being crushed into dust.

The man whose neck he grabbed just now said warily, "They have been sent away by Madam Ye." "They have abandoned their posts without my order, so are those people really my men? I ordered them to stay here and protect Mango, but they obeyed Madam Ye's words and left?"

Nathaniel suddenly found that he was too forgiving towards Madam Ye.

After years of working for Nathaniel, Thomas naturally knew what Nathaniel meant to say.

He quickly said to the man, "Pass the order. Those who had been ordered to protect Mrs. Ye will be fired, and tell all the security companies out there to not employ any of them. Force them out of the industry and make sure that no one is able to find a job wherever the Ye Family is involved."

As soon as he finished, the men were all stunned.

"This..."

"Do as Thomas said. Don't let me repeat myself a second time. If anyone is to employ them, it will mean that they are going against the Ye Family. My family will cut them off. Thomas will be in charge of the people involved."

Although Nathaniel's tone was flat, his words echoed, causing everyone to break into a cold sweat.

These people were trained for combat. They could only obtain a high salary from being a bodyguard and nothing else, so they had very slim chances of surviving since Nathaniel had ordered an industrywide ban on them. It was truly terrifying.

Everyone's face paled in fear at the sight of Nathaniel's cruel actions.

At the same time, Madam Ye was so angry that she was trembling all over.

"Nathaniel, do you still care about me?"

"You have asked this several times. I will answer you now."

Nathaniel fixed his gaze at Madam Ye.

His gaze was cold and heartless, which sent a chill down Madam Ye's spine.

She had never seen Nathaniel like this before, and she couldn't help but be afraid.

"Your answer is..."

"I don't need to respect someone who is not respectful herself. I've said more than once that Mango is my Achilles heel. I've always thought that you liked her, but obviously, I was wrong. I've been lenient with you, and you use this to hurt

Mango. Even though you're still my mother, but you're no longer the one who I respected and cared for."

"What are you going to do? Nathaniel, you'd better think this over. I have raised you with much effort. If you dare do anything to me, you will be considered unfilial. By then, everyone in Ocean City will look down on you. Filial piety comes before anything. This has always been the motto of the Ye Family, you..."

"I will be filial."

As he spoke, he ordered his men to hold Madam Ye captive.
