The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)
Chapter 822

Mango didn't pay much attention to what was happening outside. Thus, she decided to lie down and take a nap. However, Madam Tang's voice was so loud that it was hard for her to ignore it, "Mango Shen, come on out! You ungrateful woman! If it weren't for our family, you would have died five years ago, but now you're treating us like this, where's your f*cking conscience?"

Everleigh Tang, which was known as the old madam in the Tang family was still clamoring outside.

Meanwhile, Haniya noticed the resentment between Everleigh and Mango. She frowned and said to the bodyguard beside her, "What are you waiting for? Are you waiting for Mr. Ye to come back to get you moving? Or are you waiting to see how Mrs. Ye will get sick again from extreme anger? Hurry up and drag this old woman away!"

Upon hearing Haniya's words, several bodyguards immediately came forward and covered Everleigh's mouth. Then, the other bodyguards lifted her legs and carried her out.

Meanwhile, Mango was about to check out what was going on outside. However, the commotion and noises seemed to have dissipated, so she paused slightly. At that moment, Haniya had already opened the door and walked in.

"Madam, where are you heading to? To the bathroom? I'll help you."

As she spoke, she quickly came to Mango's side.

Mango shook her head and asked in a low voice, "What's going on outside?"

"It doesn't matter. An old lady came in and made trouble. You don't have to worry about her. Just lie down and rest."

Then, Haniya helped her to the bed.

Mango looked at her and asked, "Do you know what kind of grudges that woman has against me?"

"I don't know, but you are my boss. Therefore, it's my responsibility to care for your health and wellbeing. Your current physical condition is not suitable to see guests, especially such a noisy one. You need to rest."

When Mango heard Haniya's words, she smiled and said, "Just drive away any useless individuals for me in the future."

"Okay, Madam, do you want to have a rest?"

"Sure."

After that, Mango lay down and closed her eyes.

Haniya was doing her chores quietly. She was about to take the garbage away after cleaning up, but she saw Desmond standing at the door as soon as she went out. "What's up?"

Her eyes lit up immediately when she saw Desmond in the corridor.

Meanwhile, Desmond felt relatively uncomfortable after Haniya stared creepily at him. She was looking like a predator eyeing its prey.

"Is Madam asleep?"

"Yes. Do you have something to talk to her about?"

Desmond was a little upset.

Since when did he need Haniya's permission just to meet Mango?

"It's all right. You handled it well just now. Thank you."

Then, he turned to leave immediately.

Haniya was stunned.

"Wait, what do you mean? Are you in charge of Madam's safety?"

Haniya held Desmond's hand tightly.

Desmond frowned slightly and said coldly, "Let go!"

"No, unless you tell me what your name is and what you're doing. Anyway, I am the closest person to Mrs. Ye now. If I have no idea what you're in charge of, how am I supposed to handle things properly?" "Do whatever you want. Let go of me now, if not you will have to bear the consequences."

Desmond exuded a chilling aura.

Haniya was shocked and stunned. At this moment, Desmond quickly retreated his hand.

"Hey! you're a good-looking man, but why aren't you a gentleman? I am a girl! Did you just try to hit me?"

"Don't provoke me. I don't care whether you are a girl or not. In my eyes, the only difference that matters to me is whether a person is dead or alive."

Desmond left immediately after he finished his words.

Haniya was extremely depressed.

What kind of a person was he?!

He was the one who started it!

Haniya took out the garbage angrily and threw it into the trash can. She didn't dare to stay outside, so she quickly returned to the ward.

When Haniya noticed that Mango was still asleep, she moved around carefully and tried to minimise her movements. Then, she gently massaged Mango's legs.

Just then, Nathaniel came back. Haniya stood up in a hurry and reported what had just happened in a low voice before she retreated.

Nathaniel's eyes turned cold when he heard that Everleigh had come to make a fuss.

Upon seeing that Mango was still asleep, he subsequently walked out of the room. Then, he noticed Haniya sitting alone on a bench in the corridor while she fiddled with her fingers with a bored expression. "Haniya, ask Desmond to come here."

"Desmond? Who the hell is that?"

Haniya was a little confused.

Nathaniel showed Desmond's photo to Haniya.

Haniya glanced at it and suddenly smiled.

"So his name is Desmond! Ha, even if you refused to tell me, I still found out your name eventually."

Haniya smiled and left.

Meanwhile, Nathaniel headed back to the ward.

He discovered that Mango had already woken up.

"When did you wake up?"

"Just now. Why did you come back so late?"

Mango's body felt a little weak and Nathaniel hurriedly helped her up.

"Did you buy any delicious food for me?"

"You can't eat anything heavy now. I went to buy some porridge for you. Endure it for a couple of days and I'll cook delicious dishes for you after you've recovered."

"But I want to eat meat."

Mango pouted and begged, which made Nathaniel want to laugh.

"You can't."

"But our baby wants to."

Upon hearing that Mango was using the baby in her stomach as an excuse, Nathaniel smiled once again.

"You're an adult. Aren't you ashamed of yourself?"

"I can't help it."

"At most, I'll buy you meat porridge. I won't accept any more negotiations."

Mango let out a disappointed sigh when she heard Nathaniel's suggestion.

"Well, then I'll wait for two days."

"Good girl!"

Nathaniel patted her head tenderly. It felt as if every second with her was filled with love and warmth.

Mango leaned against the bed and asked with a smile, "You've been out for so long. You aren't just going to buy some porridge, right?"

"Yes, I have taken care of some matters."

"Is it about the Tang family?"

Mango looked at him.

Nathaniel paused for a moment. Then, he looked at Mango and asked, "Are you trying to plead for them? I heard that Everleigh came here. What did she say to you?"

"No, she was stopped outside the door by Haniya before she was driven away. I didn't see her and I didn't intend to plead for her."

After that, Mango pointed at the apple.

Nathaniel immediately took it over and peeled it for her.

Mango smiled and said, "Did you think I'll plead for her?"

"Yea."

Nathaniel responded in a low voice and he seemed a little upset.

Mango knew what he was thinking, but she still wanted to tease him.

"If I asked for mercy, will you really let go of the Tang Group?"

Nathaniel paused his movements.

"What do you mean? Are you really going to do it?" "It's possible. Think about it. If it weren't for Everleigh, the children and I would have already died five years ago. Their kindness to us is something that I've always been grateful for. What if the news that you want to go against them is spread to the public? It wouldn't be nice, right?"

Mango smiled a little mischievously. Unfortunately, Nathaniel didn't see it.

"I don't care about what the public thinks and I don't need a good reputation. Besides, I am the one who did it. It has nothing to do with you. People will not blame you."

"I wouldn't be happy even if that happened to you. I'm just asking you, will you let them go if I plead for mercy?"

Mango's question caused Nathaniel to be indecisive for a long time.

However, she wasn't in a hurry to get his response. Instead, she took over the apple in his hand and peeled the skin herself before she began to eat.

The crisp and crunchy sound of the apple attracted his attention. Then, he let out a sigh and said helplessly, "If you're going to plead for mercy on behalf of them, what else can I do? Since you don't mind even if you were directly involved, do you think I'll still be able to hold grudges towards them?"

As he spoke, he took out his phone and tried to call Thomas to tell the latter to put an end to everything. However, he did not expect Mango to directly grab hold of his phone.

At this moment, Mango's expression was a little serious. She looked at Nathaniel and asked, "Why? No matter how angry you are, can you completely give up everything that you've set up just because it's my request?"

Nathaniel smiled lightly and there was tenderness in his gaze.

"You are my everything. I'm willing to do anything for you. I just want you to be safe and sound. But if you get angry or you're displeased with something I've done in our relationship, I'm still willing to keep it to myself and make you happy."

Mango's eyes became a little teary when she heard Nathaniel's words.

"What a fool! How did a person like you become the most powerful man in Ocean City? Those people who voted for you are brainless and they can't even compare to a fool like you."

"I don't care. Everything will be fine with you by my side."

Nathaniel smiled and patted her head lovingly.

Meanwhile, Mango had finished eating the last bite of the apple and tossed it into the trash can. After a moment's thought, she said, "Oh yeah, there's no need to show mercy to the Tang family."

"Why?"

Nathaniel was somewhat surprised.

Mango had always been a kind and sweet person. Just based on her character, he felt that Mango would definitely beg mercy for Everleigh out of her gratitude towards the Tang Family. This was the reason why he let them live until now. He was afraid that if Mango really begged him, he would not be able to revert what he had done. So, all he did was just cause the Tang Group's bankruptcy.

Upon hearing Mango's words, he couldn't help but feel surprised.

"Didn't you hear me clearly?"

Although Mango was still smiling, there was less warmth in her expression.

"Did Abyss cross your bottom line this time?"

Nathaniel asked in a low voice.

Mango nodded her head.

"Although I owe a favour to the Tang family, the things that Abyss has done to me are enough to offset their kindness for the last five years. Everyone knew what Abyss has done to us last time, and even his family knows about it. The fact that you have given the Tang family a chance to live is already a sign of gratitude. If they learn their lesson and get back on the right track after this, I believe that they will still be as powerful as they were in the past. Unfortunately, they did not. I can be kind and generous, but I can't tolerate others who take advantage of my kindness and harm my family continuously. Since they don't care about me, why should I care about their lives? If you want to do anything, feel free to do so. Don't worry, I won't do anything for anyone's sake because I also have people that I want to protect. I can't harm my loved ones just because of my kind-heartedness."

Nathaniel was taken aback by her words.

He suddenly discovered that Mango had grown after going through all the ups and downs. She became even more beautiful than before and he was truly fascinated by her wisdom.

"Who do you want to protect?"

Upon hearing Nathaniel's words, Mango immediately turned to look at him with a warm and tender gaze.
