The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)
Chapter 681

"Mango, open the door! Ask that b*tch to come out! D*mn it, I want her to know who I am!"

It had been a long time since Walter last threw a fit.

He didn't care about controlling his temper as this woman had just ruined his reputation.

How dare a short woman like her judge and criticize him when he was way taller than her? He must reproach her!

Walter wanted to show her his true colors at this moment!

Mango looked at Novalee in confusion as she gestured, "What's going on?"

"Haih... Nothing much, he's just a pretty boy and I can defeat him effortlessly, so don't worry about it, Ms. Shen. How disappointing, I thought he was a big shot."

Novalee spoke in an indifferent tone but Mango entirely shocked.

She could defeat Walter effortlessly?

Was that even possible?

Walter was a martial arts practitioner after all!

"What did you do to him?"

Mango was dying to know what happened.

Walter was seldom affected by women but he seemed to have a grudge against Novalee.

Novalee said nonchalantly, "I didn't do anything... I just pushed him away, and it wasn't even my fault as he was being really inconsiderate by sitting right in front of the door. He's just a good-for-nothing, and he would have been driven out if he lived in my village as he obviously can't do any heavy work, considering his frail physique."

Mango was stunned upon hearing Novalee's words.

At that moment, she realized that she didn't see Walter the same way Novalee did.

"That's not true, Novalee, he's not a commoner, neither does he need to do hard labour as he is..."

"I don't care who he is and I'll shove the sluggard away as long as he's blocking your way."

Novalee spoke before Mango could finish her gestures.

Walter clearly heard their conversation outside and he was smoldering with anger as rage consumed him.

Shove the sluggard away?

Did she want him to end her life?

Mango couldn't help but feel worried as she looked in the direction of the door before glancing at Novalee, who was utterly indifferent.

"Well... Novalee, you'd better leave the person outside alone."

"Why? Did he blackmail you, Ms. Shen? Whatever it is, don't be afraid, as I'm here! Women run the world now, you know?"

Novalee patted her chest and promised as she thought that Mango was scared.

At that moment, Mango felt secure being with Novalee, although she was petite.

Mango smiled and gestured, "It's fine, as he's actually my friend."

"Friend? Why do you have such an inconsiderate friend? No wonder you asked me to help you manage the company... It's because everyone around you is a good-for-nothing!" Novalee's words drove Walter crazy.

"B*tch, come out! I swear with my name that I'll beat you to death!"

Mango found it amusing and her anger subsided in an instant as it was her first time seeing Walter getting so enraged because of a woman.

"Can you stop yelling? Only incapable men would bawl non-stop in our village, though you don't look

like a man in the first place."

Novalee clicked her tongue while anger was overpowering Walter.

He had subdued countless women in the past few years and his capability and endurance were widely acknowledged. However, this woman said that he wasn't a man?

Where did this woman come from?

Mango pursed her lips as she watched the two of them bickered with each other.

Novalee had no intention of arguing with Walter, so she went straight to the point and said to Mango, "Ms. Shen, I have completed the financial report of the first quarter of the year, but you should have a look as the numbers do not add up."

Novalee handed the report to Mango.

Novalee seemed to be a weak woman considering her petiteness, yet the report she did was surprisingly crystal clear and Mango could comprehend it at a glance.

"You did this?"

"Yes, the accountant is Boston's subordinate, and I heard that Boston ran away after sending in a resignation letter. I did this myself as we haven't found a suitable accountant to take over the position." Novalee was a straightforward person who would say whatever on her mind.

"Ms. Shen, many employees in the company are slacking off all the time and most of them are Boston's relatives although they aren't close to him at all. What's more, their salaries are really high although our company does not need so many workers to begin with. As I see it, we don't need too many logistics staff, and we should fix the number of tour guides in our company. I'll also talk to the car dealers about our cooperation, so overall, two-thirds of our employees should be fired."

Mango was stunned at Novalee's words.

"Isn't it a little too much to fire two-thirds of them? What if they make a big fuss about it?"

Mango asked with concern.

However, Novalee shook her head and said, "Ms. Shen, you won't have to deal with this issue yourself as I'll handle it. The employees have a strong ancestral bond and often discriminate against outsiders, so they might not obey you although you have already taken over the company. However, now that you have entrusted the company to me, I'll make sure to manage it properly as long as you have faith in me. If we cut down the number of employees and save up on wage expenditures, we can make more investments and expand the industry. I heard that there's a potential tourism area currently under development not far away, so we could invest in that project."

Mango felt that she had chosen the right person as Novalee sounded confident and reassured.

She looked at Novalee and nodded with a smile.

"Alright, sorry for the trouble, but from now on you can treat the company as your own. However, I won't give you a salary as I will let you become one of the shareholders instead. By the end of this year, well have the dividends."

Novalee was exhilarated after hearing what Mango said.

"Ms. Shen, are you serious? I have no funds to invest in the company..."

"You don't have to invest any money as your ability itself is the capital of the company. I'll give you 30% of the shares, so you'll get 30% of the business profits each month and dividends at the end of the year." Novalee's eyes welled up having heard what Mango said.

"Thank you, Ms. Shen! Thank you so much..."

She held Mango's hand excitedly as she sobbed.

Words could not describe how elated she felt.

Mango smiled as she patted the back of her hand and said, "Let's be friends in the future, and you can call me Mango instead of Ms. Shen."

"No, I just want to address you as Mr. Shen! You're my savior who has endowed me such fortune! You can rest assured as I'll be sure to deal with the pretty boy outside for you!"

Novalee got up immediately before opening the door and going straight to Walter.

"What are you yelling about? What's the matter? Do you want to hit a woman? Well, try fighting me!"

Novalee stepped forward confidently. However, Walter was so shocked by her huge breasts that he stumbled two steps back instantly.

"Hold on! Use your words if you have something to say, and don't act like a hooligan!"

Walter had never seen such a rugged and aggressive woman.

Novalee said disgustedly, "Hmph! You have no guts to hit me even though I came forward to you, but you consider yourself a man? Look at you... You should stay at home with your mommy instead of coming here and making a fool of yourself!"

"How dare you!"

Walter was so enraged that he had the urge to kill that woman on the spot, but he glanced at Mango.

Mango's eyes were fierce although she was looking at him with a smile.

If he dared touch Novalee, Mango would probably ignore him for the rest of his life!

Walter recalled how Mango was so angry at him previously when he fell into Ryan's trap and almost brought Rainie into trouble. Now, Novalee was Mango's right-hand man, so Walter didn't dare to fight agains her.

He had never imagined that he would experience such embarrassment one day, and he felt so frustrated!

Novalee did not know that Walter was having an inner conflict, and she looked down on him even more as he was completely stunned.

"What a coward... Let me warn you, don't you dare harass Ms. Shen again, do you hear me?"

"Well... I do intend to continue bothering her, so what can you do about it?"

Novalee was totally an eyesore to Walter.

What a b*tch.

Walter was sure that she would never find a partner as she was short and tanned with a lousy temper. Furthermore, everything that she had said was extremely insulting.

"Hey, you're unmarried, aren't you? No, you probably don't even have a boyfriend."

Walter asked bluntly without considering the consequences.

Novalee was taken aback by his question, and she said in confusion, "I'm only 22 years old, so I'm not in a hurry to find a boyfriend."

"Pfft, look at you... Don't even dream of looking for a boyfriend. I bet every man would want to avoid a scary woman like you. Well, I'll give you a piece of advice since you're a friend of Mango... You'd better be gentler, or else you'd never find a partner and you will have to spend the rest of your life all alone! Got it?"

Walter said earnestly.

Novalee's expression did not change at all as she looked at Walter and said proudly, "What do you know? My family owns more than 200 acres of banana plantations, and countless men would be on their knees begging to marry me when the time comes. Of course, I'll still have to judge their personalities first for three years before I decide whether to marry them. Yet you're saying that they'll be the one picking? You must be kidding me!"

Walter's mouth twitched in annoyance.

Did she consider her family rich just because they owned over 200 acres of banana plantations?

Was it even worth showing off?

"Oh, what else does your family have other than banana plantations?"

"What else do I need?"

Novalee was somewhat puzzled.

On the other hand, Walter thought that she was a complete joke.

Why was he wasting his time arguing with such an ignorant and uncouth woman who wasn't even pretty?

"Nothing, that's good for you. You'd better leave now, or else someone will soon take over your 200-acre banana plantation."

"Bullsh*t! That's the dowry that my parents allotted for me!"

Everything that Novalee said exposed her naivety.

Walter thought that he would go crazy if he continued arguing with her!

Immediately, he turned around and left. He gave up his idea of using his persistence to ask for Mango's forgiveness.

"Wow, you're just leaving because you can't fault my arguments? You're really a coward!"

Walter clenched his fists tightly.

He kept telling himself that he had to endure it.

Moreover, he couldn't lay a finger on Novalee as she was Mango's friend. However, the flames of fury in his heart were still burning, and he couldn't put it out no matter how hard he tried. "Hey, you'd better stop bothering Ms. Shen for your own sake. You know, I'll really hit you in the face if you keep this up, and you won't be able to find a sugar mommy with your distorted appearance."

As soon as Novalee finished her words, Walter turned around in a flash and ran towards her at full tilt before pushing her against the wall. Then, he said fiercely, "I don't need a woman to support my life!" "What are you doing? Go away!"

At that instant, Novalee felt pressured as she was trapped by Walter.

His body leaned over, and she felt extremely uncomfortable and suffocated as he was way taller than her.

Novalee tried to push Walter away, but she suddenly realized that he was very powerful, although he seemed thin and weak.

She had exerted all her strength yet Walter didn't even budge an inch.

Novalee's brows furrowed as she became desperate.
