The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye) -
Chapter 945
"I don't know, but I will ask Ned to check it later."
Nathaniel lowered his eyes and whispered.
It wasn't that Mango didn't want to know. In any case, Nathaniel would take care of all these matters, so she didn't ask any further.
"I'm sleepy. Let's go to sleep."
"Alright, let's go to bed then."
Nathaniel patted Mango's shoulder and watched her fall into a deep sleep before he closed his eyes.
By the time the sun rose the next day, Mango was still sleeping. However, Nathaniel was already awake.
He crept to the room compartment outside and called Ned.
"Check out the car that besieged me yesterday. I remembered the car plate number, but it could be fake. Investigate it thoroughly." "Yes, Mr. Ye."
After hanging up, Nathaniel went to the balcony and lit up a cigarette.
Who was it?
Who was behind Boston?
Why was anyone going against the Blu family?
Why did they attack Nathaniel into their own hands?
A series of questions flashed across Nathaniel's mind, but he could not find any answers.
When Mango woke up, she saw Nathaniel smoking on the balcony.
He had not smoked for a long time and it was obvious that he was not in a good mood now.
Mango wanted to comfort him, but the phone in her pocket rang.
She glanced down and saw Emberly's name.
Mango was a little surprised.
Emberly had an operation today, hadn't she? Her appointment with Denver would only be at night, so why did Emberly call her in the early morning? Regardless of what doubts she had, Mango answered the call.
"Emberly?"
Both of them were good friends, and they got along well because same birds flocked together.
"Are you free? Let's have breakfast together."
Emberly responded straightforwardly.
Mango was startled. She glanced at Nathaniel and hesitated, 'Umm... aren't you accompanying your family?1
"Urgh! My husband took my daughter away with him. Anyway, I'll go to the hospital later. Well, it's up to you. If you don't have time, forget about it."
Emberly was about to hang up at this moment.
Mango said hastily, "Wait! Where are we going to eat?"
"Let's try the bakery downstairs. The one opposite the hotel?"
"Alright, see you soon!"
Although Mango did not know why Emberly was looking for her, this was the first time that Emberly had invited her out for a meal. She still wanted to agree to her invitation. However, she felt sorry for Nathaniel.
Nathaniel put out the cigarette when he saw Mango was already awake. He stayed at the balcony for a moment before walking into their bedroom. "Are you awake?"
"Yeah."
Mango smiled. Her feminine and delicate appearance had awakened Nathaniel's desires.
"Hmm? Do you need my help with something?"
Nathaniel gave a faint smile.
Mango coughed and answered, "No. Emberly invited me to have breakfast, so I can't eat with you this morning."
Nathaniel was a little upset.
Why was everyone trying to snatch his wife from him?
"Can I accompany you?"
Nathaniel looked as if he had been wronged, and Mango found his dismayed expression hilarious.
"Nah, we're just two ladies who want to have a private conversation. It's inappropriate for you to come along. Besides, Eugene isn't following us." "Hah! How can you compare me with him? Eugene is a fool. He doesn't know how to cherish his wife. Just wait and see. He will regret it soon."
Mango was noncommittal on Nathaniel's evaluation of Eugene.
"Why do you say that? Well, I know you felt aggrieved, so I'll accompany you to stroll around City B later. Let me get ready first, you take care of your own breakfast, okay?" Mango caressed Nathaniel's face as if he was her child.
His face was cold.
It was obvious that he had been outside for quite a long time.
"If there is anything you can't deal with, just leave it. It will be solved sooner or later. Don't worry too much."
Mango went to the bathroom after consoling him.
Nathaniel felt surprised.
She seemed to have matured a lot.
He smiled and shook his head.
After Mango tidied herself up, she quickly went downstairs and saw Emberly standing in front of the bakery in her androgynous outfit.
"Why are you so early?"
Mango quickly sat down. Then, she ordered a steamed dumplings and a bowl of porridge.
Emberly said while eating, "I have something to do later, so I have to get up early. I have an operation to do at half-past seven, so we have to hurry up."
"Huh? Both of us?"
Mango was astonished.
Emberly nodded slightly and urged her to eat faster.
Mango didn't dare to delay their schedule. She didn't know what Emberly was going to do, but she was became nervous after looking at how anxious Emberly was. After they finished eating, Emberly took Mango to the street and hailed a taxi.
"I've got a car."
Mango thought that Emberly was worried about her, so she suggested hurriedly that they could use her car.
Emberly shook her head slightly and said, "No. It is inconvenient to drive at this time."
Mango was getting more confused after hearing these words.
However, she did not question anything. She always thought that Emberly would not betray her, so she leaned comfortably on the seat and closed her eyes to rest. booking at her easiness, Emberly could not help but smile, "Aren't you afraid that I'll give you away?"
"Not at all."
Mango's answer was simple and straightforward.
"Why? We've only met only twice, so how can you trust me to this extent?"
Only then did Mango open her eyes and smile, 'If a person's eyes are the windows to his soul, then I can see your intentions through your eyes. I'm not scared as you don't look like you have any evil intentions What's more, I've told my husband before I came out. If you really betrayed me, my husband would come looking for me. So, what's there for me to be afraid of?'
Hearing Mango's words, Emberly let out a smile from the bottom of her heart.
"You are such a businesswoman."
"Thank you for your compliment."
They chatted and laughed along the way, and this improved their relationship a lot.
Not long after, the taxi stopped at the entrance of a small alley.
Out of curiosity, Mango asked, 'What's this place?'
"Penshaw Alley."
This made Mango startled.
"Huh? What kind of name is this?"
"This place is relatively narrow, hence the name. The taxi can't go through. Come with me. It's not very far."
Emberly finished her words and got out of the car immediately.
Mango followed her into the alley without any hesitation.
The buildings in this place seemed to have been constructed many years ago. They looked very ancient, and no cars were passing by. It gave people a sense of serenity. Mango saw Emberly turning into another alley before stopping.
'What's wrong? Have we reached?'
Mango followed her. Before she could say anything, Emberly dragged her to the front of a house. She opened the door carefully and sneaked in.
Why were they acting like thieves?
Mango was still confused, but she followed her in nevertheless.
The two of them walked along the yard to the inner court. Then, they found a place to hide.
"What's going on...?"
"Shh..."
Emberly motioned Mango to be quiet.
At this moment, Mango felt her heart pounding heavily. She shut her mouth instantly.
After a while, footsteps came from the outside. Then, the door of the inner court creaked open.
"Gisella Shen, come out!"
Mango never thought that he would see Sutton here, let alone hear the name of Gisella Shen. Could they be different people with the same
name?
Mango comforted herself.
However, when Gisella walked out of the house, Mango was completely stupefied.
Why was Gisella here?
Besides, the buildings here were quite expensive. How could she afford to buy a house here?
If this was Gisella's house, why did the parents of the Shen family sell their house?
Or was this the house she had bought after selling her previous one?
A series of questions flashed across Mango's mind.
Gisella looked like she just woke up. When she saw Sutton, who appeared with a furious expression, she asked with a dissatisfied tone, "Urgh! What are you doing? Why are you shouting here early in the morning? Can't you let me sleep?"
"Woah! How could you still sleep in peace? People are trying to get rid of me now!"
Sutton was infuriated by his current situation. He could not help but raise his voice.
Gisella quickly covered his mouth and glanced at the bedroom. She said in a low voice, "Shh! Do you want to die? He's still sleeping. If he wakes up, you're finished!"
Sutton was dumbfounded.
He glared at Gisella and then smacked her hand from his mouth.
"Gisella, look what have you done to me!"
"Nonsense! I have nothing to do with you. What did I do?"
Gisella yawned. She did not seem to care.
Sutton said angrily, "Hah! Are you sure you are innocent? Didn't you ask me to go against Rainie Blu? You said that no one would help her if I killed her, right?"
"So what? Do you want to be controlled by her forever? You useless man! Her father has gone crazy, and her mother is dead, while her younger brother is disabled, and her boyfriend is in a coma. You can't handle such a woman? How dare you come here and condemn me? Sutton Zhang, do you have no b*lls?"
"Bah! I know everything you just said, but why didn't you tell me in advance that Rainie and Mrs. Ye knew each other? And Mrs. Ye knew Eugene Sanchez? I've offended Rainie, and now Mrs. Ye is venting her anger on me. Eugene had blacklisted me in the industry. I've just lost my livelihood, so how can I support my family? I don't care. It's all because of you. I want to see him. Anyway, you have to give me an explanation and back me up."
After he finished, Sutton was about to rush into the room, but he was stopped abruptly by Gisella.
She bulged her chest up and uttered rudely, "Just try! You idiot! Do you want me to tell him that you molested me?"
Sutton was taken aback. He dared not to move any further and even took two steps back.
"Gisella, you... you shameless scoundrel!"
"So what? I'm a woman after all."
Gisella did not feel ashamed of herself at all, on the contrary, she was proud of herself.
"Alright, I'll get him to solve this matter for you soon. You should go back now and stay put for a few days. Don't come looking for us all the time. If Mango finds out the alliance between us, your situation will be worse than this."
Gisella informed Sutton with a bleak expression, causing him shrouded with fear.
Mango hid not far away from this scene while eavesdropping on them. She was puzzled after listening to their conversation.
Who was the the man that they were talking about?
Was he living in this place?
What was the relationship between Gisella and the man they mentioned all this while?
Mango became entangled the more she dwelled on this unresolved mystery, preventing her from finding an answer.
