The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)
Chapter 665

Mango narrowed her eyes as she was slightly stunned.

They were probably the group of people that she saw in the evening or more precisely, the troublemakers summoned by Edolie.

Mango glanced at Nathaniel, who was taking a shower in the bathroom before she approached the balcony without making a noise. She then dragged a person out in a flash with her accurate and quick movements.

It was right at this moment that the person tossed something in.

Mango was still in a daze when she felt a pair of big hands were grabbing her instantly before she kicked the stranger out of the balcony.

"Nathaniel?"

Mango recognized from the person's aura that it was Nathaniel.

Wasn't he taking a shower?

How did he come out suddenly?

Before Mango could utter a word, Nathaniel was already dragging her out of the bedroom.

"Bang!" A loud noise came from the bedroom and it shocked the entire room.

At that moment, Mango was frozen on the spot.

Anaya ran out of her bedroom and asked as she rubbed her eyes. "What's wrong?"

The emergency alarm went off as well.

Then Mango's expression darkened.

She quickly pulled Anaya into her arms and grabbed Nathaniel's coat from the living room before putting it on Anaya.

Nathaniel was a little displeased, but he didn't say a word as he grabbed Mango's hands and whispered, "Let's get out of here now."

It wasn't until then that Mango realized Nathaniel was already dressed up neatly, and he did not seem as if he was in the shower before this at all.

"You lied to me?"

"No, I'm just really fast at changing."

Nathaniel explained as he brought Mango and Anaya out of the suite.

The staff and managers of the hotel all came to their aid.

As soon as the manager saw Nathaniel, he immediately asked, "Mr. Ye, what happened?"

"I don't know. Someone broke in through the window and threw something inside, but fortunately, we left in time. Otherwise, we might have been harmed. Seriously, is this the level of security in your hotel?" Nathaniel's expression was unwelcoming.

It was fortunate that he noticed someone had been by Mango's side when they were at the pavilion, though he didn't ask about it since she didn't mention a word. All he could do was just shamelessly insist on sleeping in her room.

Nathaniel couldn't imagine what would've happened if he wasn't here.

The manager felt embarrassed at Nathaniel's sarcasm.

"We will improve on that, Mr. Ye... Well go in and check out what just happened right away."

Nathaniel and Mango entered the room along with the manager.

At that point, the whole bedroom was already in a total mess.

Mango saw that a beer bottle on the ground had exploded and glass fragments were all over the place. The bed had been corroded by some liquid and there was no way Mango could sleep there anymore. Nathaniel's expression became gloomier.

"It's Edolie's doing, isn't it?"

Mango made a gesture as she asked Nathaniel.

"Whoever it was, you can't stay here anymore. Come to my place tonight."

Nathaniel held Mango's hand.

He could tell from the liquid that it had to be sulfuric acid, but why did it explode?

They would need a professional to check it out.

After that, Nathaniel and Mango reported the incident to the police.

In a few moments, the police came and started investigating the matter along with the manager and the hotel's security guards.

The incident startled other guests as well, and many of them began requesting to checkout and the hotel lost all its business in a flash.

On the other hand, Mango and Nathaniel did not leave the hotel and they just went to Nathaniel's room to rest.

Nathaniel even made himself a promise that he would never let Mango out of his sight again.

Of course, he didn't let Mango know about this as he didn't want her to feel pressured since Mango clearly wanted to be independent.

While the hotel was in chaos, Edolie received a phone call and heard that her attempt was unsuccessful.

Immediately, she got so angry that she stomped her feet.

"You useless trash!"

"Edolie, I think it's best that we give up. That man is really smart and we won't stand a chance. Besides, that woman is really good at martial arts too... We have tried our best." The man did all he could to persuade Edolie.

However, Edolie answered with a sneer, "Do they really think that they can defeat me? How naive! I have lived here for years and built extensive connections in this place, so there's no way these two outsiders can subdue me so easily! Hank, don't you know that the first one who takes action will gain the upper hand? You'll just lose the game if you chicken out now! They are still unfamiliar with the place, so if I don't take advantage of this to bring them to their knees now, they will get the better of me very soon, so there's no way we can stop now..."

Hank sighed, having heard what Edolie said before responding, "What do you want to do then? So many policemen are on watch, we don't stand a chance at all."

"You can create an opportunity as I don't believe that they will stay in the hotel, and even if they do, can't you guys enter their room? As long as you can scatter the sulfuric acid on Mango's face, I'll feel better then."

The moment Edolie recalled the way Mango looked down on her previously in the hotel, she felt a strong urge to kill her.

If possible, she would very much like to splash the sulfuric acid onto Mango's face herself.

However, Mango was lucky this time. Edolie was sure that she wouldn't let Mango go so easily the second time, though it was never easy to deal with Nathaniel and Mango at the same time. Edolie's brows were knitted together as she touched her chin.

"Who else is with them?"

"A mute girl who is quite young but she seems to be a local. I heard that they asked this little girl to pay back the money for the things that she had stolen from other people a few days ago." Hank told Edolie everything he knew.

Edolie sneered and said, "Mango seriously likes to be a good person as if she's the heroine of the entire world. Back then, she had this exact attitude when she saved me and I hated her false kindness to the core of my being. Well... since she wants to do that and everyone knows that the little girl is by her side, won't they become anxious if the little girl is missing? Won't we stand a chance then?"

Hank was stunned for a moment before he said with uneasiness, "Edolie, isn't it too risky to do this?"

"What on earth isn't risky? Was it not risky pouring sulfuric acid? Hank, don't forget that I'm paying for your mom's medical expenses and you promised to work for me."

Eddie's voice became vicious suddenly.

Hank gritted his teeth as soon as he recalled that his mother was still in the hospital and that it was Edolie who helped him with the medical fees. Hence, his mother could live longer although they were poor. So, he said unwillingly, "Fine, I'll help you with this."

"I'll surely reward you after your work is done."

After hanging up the phone, the smile on Eddie's face became increasingly eerie and cold.

If Anaya died and she asked the media to make a fuss about it on the news, Nathaniel and Mango might not even be able to leave this place alive.

At the thought of this, she ordered Hank to look into Anaya's background.

The moment she found out that Anaya was the little girl that she chased out previously, she could not help but smile.

"I've got a good idea... Don't take any action for the time being."

After hanging up the phone, Edolie smiled insidiously.

On the other hand, Mango and Nathaniel were completely oblivious to this.

As soon as Mango entered Nathaniel's room, she was held tightly in Nathaniel's embrace.

"You scared the hell out of me, you know?"

Mango was also somewhat frightened when she felt Nathaniel's aura and strength.

If Nathaniel hadn't been here, she would have been injured by now.

She knew that Edolie would scheme against her, but she didn't expect that Edolie would be so bold and unruly.

Although they called the police, no one knew what would happen after this.

Mango knew that Nathaniel was also frightened.

She patted Nathaniel's back and gently comforted him.

"You cannot act alone in the future anymore, and you must inform me about everything that happens, alright? I'm aware that you want to be independent and you don't want to rely on me for every issue. I do support you, but the terrain here is different and the folk customs are bizarre so you can't keep everything from me. If I hadn't noticed that someone was in the pavilion and if I didn't follow you into the bedroom, I wouldn't dare imagine what would have happened to you. As you know, Mango, I don't have a strong heart."

From Nathaniel's words, Mango instantly understood why he followed her into her room.

At that time, she thought that the two men were just thieves and that she had already solved the issue, so there was no need for her to tell Nathaniel about it. She didn't want Nathaniel to worry about her, but who knew that Edolie was such a psycho.

However, at the thought of how she provoked Edolie in the evening, she secretly blamed herself for not thinking it through.

"Did you hear what I said?"

Nathaniel couldn't help but feel anxious when he noticed that Mango didn't respond.

Mango felt that she had become clingy as she was actually enjoying Nathaniel's care and concern for her.

She felt secure as Nathaniel's affection warmed her heart and electrified her entire body.

Out of the blue, Mango tiptoed and planted a kiss on Nathaniel's cheeks.

At that moment, Nathaniel became completely stunned.

It had never crossed his mind that he would be rewarded as such, so he wrapped his arms around Mango's slim waist subconsciously and pulled her closer to his chest.

"Don't expect me to take back what I just said just because of your actions. Next time, do not keep anything from me no matter what happens."

"Alright."

Mango made a gesture and smiled happily.

Anaya felt the need to make a gesture to remind the two of them that an underaged girl was also in the room.

Hence, she did exactly that.

Upon hearing Anaya's cough, Mango came to her senses in an instant and hurriedly pushed Nathaniel away, which made him feel dissatisfied.

"What are you doing? It's just a hug, isn't it? Why are you coughing? Go get some medicine if you're sick. Here, take this."

Nathaniel directly shoved 100 dollars in cash to Anaya.

Any quick-witted person could tell that Nathaniel disliked Anaya and thought of her as an eyesore.

Over the years, Anaya had learned a lot from Addison and she certainly knew more stuff since she was older than Gissel.

Anaya smiled slyly as she picked up the 100 dollars and signed, "I have a sore throat so I'll go buy some medicine. Please carry on, and don't worry about me as I grew up here. I can find my way out from all

the alleys even with my eyes closed. Besides, I won't go too far and will be in the pharmacy right below... Oh, right! I just remembered that I have to get some food as well as I'm quite the glutton, so rest assured that you can do whatever you want."

Anaya's words made Mango's face turn red in an instant and she felt so embarrassed that she just wanted to hide.

Then Mango shot a coquettish glance at Nathaniel.

Nathaniel was extremely pleased with Anaya and gave her a thumbs-up as he said, "Ask one of the hotel staff to go with you and just call me if you need anything."

"Alright."

After that, Anaya went out with the new mobile phone that Nathaniel had bought for her in the morning.

On the other hand, Nathaniel was cheered up immediately.

"My dear wifey, shall we continue?" "Continue? What do you mean by that?" The moment Mango recalled Anaya's teasing look before she left, she felt so ashamed that she just wanted to hide. Nathaniel was rather dissatisfied. Just as he was about to hold Mango in his arms and tease her, Anaya's sharp scream suddenly came from outside.
