The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)
Chapter 827

Thomas' question was left unanswered. He was just told that Delilah was bailed out and that was all.

Thomas still wanted to ask more, but the other party had politely sent him out.

Thomas was having mixed feelings. He should feel relieved that his mother had been released. However, he was also worried on behalf of Nathaniel and he didn't know whether it was something to be happy about.

Just as Thomas was in a dilemma, Mitchell Abarough appeared and suddenly pulled him into the back alley.

He looked haggard and he was in bad shape compared to when he was working as a doctor.

"Give me some money. I want to go abroad." Mitchell asked him for money directly. Thomas looked at this man, who was related to him, and he felt utterly disgusted. "How did you come out? Were you also bailed out? Who did that? Where is mom?"

In the face of Thomas' series of questions, Mitchell looked impatient.

"Why do you have so many questions? How am I supposed to know what happened to her? Maybe she stole a big sum of money and escaped. D*mn it, women are so unreliable. She ran away and I'm penniless now. I don't have any job and my reputation is ruined. I'm left with nothing now. Since you're her son, you have to compensate me! Hurry up, give me some money, I'll be leaving this evening." Thomas was infuriated by Mitchell's bad attitude.

"Her son? Aren't you responsible for her as well? You're the one who abandoned me and sent me into an orphanage. What the hell did you give me? What rights do you have to ask for money?" "I'm the one who gave you this life!"

Mitchell became more and more arrogant.

Thomas sneered and grabbed Mitchell by the collar. With a slight force, Mitchell's feet were lifted off the ground.

"You... how dare you do this to me?! Aren't you afraid of karma?"

"You don't even care, so what should I be afraid of? Tell me, who's the person that bailed you out?"

Mitchell was slightly intimidated in the face of Thomas' indifference and aggressiveness.

Then, he said with trepidation, "I don't know either, but someone told me that I was bailed out and asked me to leave quickly. I came out after that because I don't want to stay in the prison anymore. As long as someone brought me out, I don't care who it is."

Thomas's brows were slightly furrowed.

Who was it?

Who was the person who secretly bailed out Mitchell and Delilah?

What was the person trying to achieve?

"Where are you planning to go?"

"Abroad. I have such a bad reputation in this country and I can't live here any longer. I have to leave this place. You are my son, so hand me a sum of money."

Mitchell was asking for money shamelessly and Thomas obviously abhorred it. However, to find out who the person was, he eventually agreed to his father's demand. Then, he said coldly, "I'll give you 200,000 dollars. From now on, we are no longer related to each other."

"How is that enough? I gave you life so that you could have a chance to be around Nathaniel. How dare you give me this tiny amount of money?"

"Do you want it or not? If not, there's nothing for you. Just starve to death."

Thomas threw Mitchell on the ground after he finished talking.

A trace of cruelty flashed beneath Mitchell's eyes, but it disappeared in a blink of an eye.

"Yes, yes, of course. Screw you then, quickly give me the money."

"Do you think I have that amount of money with me right now? Give me a moment, and I'll give you the money in two hours."

After that, Thomas turned and left.

However, Mitchell grabbed his arm and said, "Can't I go with you? Where else can I go now? Everyone hates me and there's no place to hide. If not, why do you think I decided to go abroad?"

"Aren't you just afraid that Nathaniel will beat you up when he sees you? Anyways, I'm going to report this to Nathaniel."

Upon hearing this, Mitchell trembled in fear involuntarily.

In fact, he was afraid of Nathaniel. He loathed both Nathaniel and Mango because they were the ones who destroyed his life. Unfortunately, he was no match for them. Therefore, the only thing he could do was to flee from this country.

Meanwhile, Thomas was able to pierce through Mitchell's thoughts and knew exactly what he was thinking. Despite that, Thomas pretended not to notice anything.

Then, Mitchell pondered for a moment and said, "Well, I'll wait for you at the hotel next to your company. You can't stand me up, otherwise..."

"Stop wasting your time threatening me, you might as well think about ways to get out of here. Well, it doesn't guarantee that you'll be able to leave Ocean City even if you have money."

Upon hearing this, Mitchell's face took on a ghastly expression.

However, Thomas could care less about a person like Mitchell and he directly left the alley without saying anything more. When he was turning into the corner, he made a gesture and two bodyguards immediately followed.

"Mr. Thomas, what's the matter?"

"Follow him and see who he is contacting. I need to know everything about him."

"Yes."

When Thomas saw that the bodyguards had caught up with Mitchell, he turned around and left. Then, he quickly returned to the Ye's Mansion. Nathaniel was working while Mango was still resting. After the Fang family's incident, Mango was exhausted and all she wanted to do was sleep.

Thomas came to Nathaniel's office and knocked on the door.

"Come in."

Nathaniel's voice sounded a little hoarse.

Thomas was slightly stunned. Then, he quickly made Nathaniel a cup of coffee.

"Mr. Ye."

He placed the coffee on Nathaniel's table.

Nathaniel raised his head and was surprised to see Thomas.

"Why did you come back? Didn't you ask for a day off?"

"There's something I need to talk to you about. By the way, I also wanted to remind you of something."

Thomas's words made Nathaniel put down his work at hand.

"What happened?"

"Delilah and Mitchell were bailed out by someone and released from prison."

"What?"

Nathaniel furrowed his eyebrows.

Thomas felt a little embarrassed. Even though this matter had nothing to do with him, Delilah was his mother. However, he felt so ashamed that he couldn't lift his head in front of Mango and Nathaniel. Nathaniel hurriedly asked when he saw Thomas' reaction, "What's going on?"

"I don't know. The people inside refused to tell me. Mitchell asked me for money and said that he would leave Ocean Cit. He wants to go abroad to stay away from trouble, but I told him that money will not help him at all. He still needs to find means to leave this place. I have sent people to keep an eye on him. If someone contacts him, I will follow the clues to find out who the person is."

When Nathaniel saw that Thomas had arranged everything, henodded and he felt at ease.

"It seems that you can handle it well yourself."

Thomas was moved by Nathaniel's words of trust.

"Mr. Ye, aren't you afraid that I will take the opportunity to let them go? After all, they are my parents."

"It doesn't matter. It's human nature and I won't blame you. Don't think too much about it. Do what you want and don't feel burdened. You are my brother and I believe in you." That last sentence immediately made Thomas tear up.

After so many years of struggling, he might have been outside begging for money if it weren't for Nathaniel.

Thomas bit his lower lip and said excitedly, "Mr. Ye, don't worry. I will never do anything against my conscience." "That's good. Don't be too nervous. Just do what you have to do."

"Alright."

Thomas nodded.

Just as he was about to turn around and leave, he suddenly thought of something and stopped in his tracks.

"By the way, I forgot to tell you that Rainie is coming back. It seemed that Boston has made a run into the woods. After all, Rainie and her brother were not locals, so they weren't familiar with the jungle. Her brother was bitten by a poisonous insect and he was being treated in the hospital for some time. It seemed that his condition hasn't improved, so he was sent abroad for further treatment. Rainie intended to follow him, but she felt that it is better to inform Mrs. Ye about it personally first. She will be arriving in the evening. Mr. Ye, remember to tell Madam about it. Also, don't get Madam too worked up. I am afraid that she will be anxious if she suddenly knows about it. As for what happened to Rainie's brother, keep this a secret from her for the time being."

Nathaniel was very touched upon knowing that

Thomas was being considerate towards Mango.

"Okat, take it easy. Don't get too tied up. I heard that you went to visit Sophia Liu?"

"Well, I have to make up for the sins that my mother has done."

Upon hearing this, Nathaniel felt extremely sorry for Thomas.

"What Delilah has done has nothing to do with you."

"It doesn't matter, she's still my mom. I have to apologize on behalf of her. Mr. Ye, I'll leave first. Mitchell asked for a sum of money and I'll have to withdraw it from the bank. Also, I'm going to check if anyone has followed me."

Nathaniel had always been at ease with the way Thomas handled matters. He nodded and watched as Thomas left the room. However, he was no longer in the mood to work.

Boston's matter happened a while ago, so Nathaniel couldn't recall it clearly. Thanks to Thomas's reminder, he remembered what had happened while he fainted in Nakasara. However, he didn't expect that this matter would bring so much harm to Rainie and her brother.

Rainie was Mango's best friend. If Mango ever knew about this, it would be hard for her to take in. Before Rainie returned, Nathaniel quickly shut down the computer and headed towards the bedroom. Mango was still asleep.

Nathaniel really didn't want to wake Mango up when he saw her Mango sleeping soundly. After a moment of hesitation, he eventually left the room and sent a message to Rainie. He told her about Mango's recent situation and asked Rainie to be careful when she spoke.

However, there wasn't any reply from Rainie and it seemed that she was still on the plane.

Nathaniel sighed and took off his coat while he went to the kitchen.

There wasn't anyone at home since Haniya wasn't around, and both Sisi and Newell had already left for their honeymoon trip. Thus, he had to make some food for Mango.

After leaving the Ye's Mansion, Thomas received a phone call from a bodyguard saying that Mitchell had made a phone call before he went out. Now, they were following him. Upon hearing this, Thomas's gaze darkened.

Was Mitchell going to meet the person that bailed him out? Or was there any other news?

Thomas quickly checked Mitchell's location and drove directly to the place. However, when his car made a turn, a van suddenly rushed straight toward him.

He tried to turn the steering wheel, but it was too late. Thomas crashed into the windshield with a loud bang and the van directly rammed into him.

Blood was dripping down from the gap in the car door towards the ground. It was a terrifying and shocking scene.
