The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye) -
Chapter 956
"I found out that the car accident was related to Gisella."
Mango did not react to Desmond's words at all.
"Madam, did you hear what I said?"
"What I need is evidence. I already had such assumptions. Before the accident, I met with Gisella to tell her about the ownership of the house. Then, this happened to me. Bah! Of course, I know that she did it, but I need evidence to prove it right now!"
Mango's words left Desmond stunned, and he paused for a moment before whispering, "Well...we've found the driver who ran you over, but he's already dead! I heard that he knocked into a stone by the roadside after the accident. After his car flipped over, he died too!"
"So there are no more witnesses to the accident, is that right?"
Mango was fuming.
However, Desmond did not know what else to say because this was all that he found.
"Alright, go and have a rest. I want to be alone for a while."
Mango was extremely frustrated after hearing Desmond's words.
So, Desmond and Haniya did not dare to disturb her further. They felt that Mango had become quieter after this accident. In fact, she was always in a gloomy mood, and no one could tell what she was thinking After leaving the room, Haniya found a quiet place to call Nathaniel.
"Mr. Ye, please don't send me any more things. Madam has already found out about it. She warned me that if I accept things from you, she will fire me."
Nathaniel remained silent after hearing what Haniya said, but his eyes darkened slightly.
"Got it."
After hanging up the phone, Nathaniel felt like smoking.
He had been smoking more frequently recently.
Then, he subconsciously lit a cigarette as he heard Ned walking in.
"Mr. Ye, we found out that the driver that ran over Madam died on the same day as the accident."
Nathaniel frowned at Ned's words.
"What a coincidence!"
"Yes, and his family members immediately cremated his ashes the next day. Besides, his funeral was done in a hurry after that. The next day, his wife brought his kids overseas while claiming that she wanted to visit her relatives. However, she hasn't come back since then."
After hearing this, Nathaniel narrowed his eyes slightly.
"Huh? Where is his wife now then?"
"I found them in the countryside, and I learned from her that her husband had third stage liver cancer. He was near the end of his life. Also, I found that someone transferred an extra sum of money to their account suddenly. After his death, his wife fled with their child. She was afraid that others would discover the truth, so she left hurriedly without bringing much along and told others that they were visiting relatives."
Ned told Nathaniel everything he knew honestly.
Nathaniel took the documents from Ned to have a look before asking coldly, "Did she tell you who gave her the money?"
"Yes, it was Gisella. She kept a record of the transaction as well. Although Gisella used another WhatsApp account, the registered mobile phone number was her personal number."
"Take care of her, and tell her that as long as she is willing to be a witness in court, I'll give her double the money she received from Gisella. I'll also make sure that her child gets into a top university, and I'll even find her child a job. In the end, I want Gisella to be prosecuted."
Nathaniel's voice was so cold that anyone would shiver after hearing him.
Ned nodded and immediately carried out the orders given.
Then, Nathaniel looked in the direction of Mango's apartment and felt his heart ache slightly.
He wondered if she had lost weight. Was she eating her meals on time?
Haniya couldn't provide him with any information in the future. So, it would be even harder for him to hear news about her.
Mango didn't know that Nathaniel had done so much investigation. She only felt her body getting a lot weaker. Suddenly, she recalled that there were only a few days left till the violin competition with Gisella. With her current abilities, she couldn't compete with Gisella at all!
She was upset, so she asked Haniya to buy her a violin and began practising.
Not long after Mango started playing the violin, Nathaniel stopped at someplace nearby and listened to her play for around three hours.
Mango was very skilled at playing the violin. To further improve her skills, she spent almost all her time practising the violin.
Nathaniel felt worried for her health, but he didn't know how to get her to rest because she was short of time.
The month passed by quickly in a blur.
The day of the match between Mango and Gisella had finally arrived.
Gisella thought that Mango wouldn't be participating. Therefore, she certainly did not expect to see Mango showing up.
Her eyes darkened when she saw this..
"Heh. Mango, I didn't think you would dare to come."
Mango ignored Gisella's provocation. Instead, she bowed respectfully at Dillon, who had come to watch the match.
"Mr. Azbel, you're here!"
Dillon replied in a pitiful tone when he saw his delighted pupil, "Alas! You've lost some weight."
"I'm fine! I look slimmer now, right?"
"Hey...you'd better pay attention to your health. Don't worry too much about the result of the match. I just want to know what level you are at now."
Dillon was not as strict as the other teachers. He was very lenient and kind towards Mango, but the more he acted in this way, the more Mango felt that she had let her teacher down.
"I won't disappoint you, Mr. Azbel."
"Do your best."
"All right."
After finishing her words, Mango walked into the hall with her violin.
Gisella had just found out that Mango was actually Dillion's disciple! Thus, she couldn't help but feel extremely jealous of Mango.
"Heh. Mango, you really do know how to put up a facade."
"Well, I'm not as good as you are, though."
Mango's face was still as pale as a ghost, but she appeared energetic, which took Gisella aback.
She was stunned and said with a sneer, "Wow, you can speak so harshly now that you've lost your child, huh?"
Mango's fist clenched instantly out of anger, and her fingernails pierced into her flesh without her realizing it.
How dare Gisella talk to her about her child?
"Hah! Gisella, let's see whether you can continue acting so arrogantly after this match!"
Mango gritted her teeth as she spoke.
On the other hand, Gisella smiled very happily.
"Oh dear, I don't understand what you mean. Do you care to explain, Mrs. Ye?"
Mango really wanted to send a fist right at her smiling face, but now that the teachers and the crowd were around, she could only hold back.
The competition was judged fairly.
Gisella thought that she was better skilled than Mango, so she was full of herself. Her performance was good indeed, but she was still far from being a professional player.
Even though Mango had not taken any formal music exams recently, she had trained very hard these past few days at home. When she performed with highly skilled techniques, the entire audience was shocked.
A smile of approval appeared on Dillon's face.
After all, he knew that his disciple was not a mediocre player.
Meanwhile, Nathaniel was also spectating the competition from the seats.
His heart ached when he saw Mango's pale face. However, he was truly in awe of Mango's musical talent.
His wife was like a mystery box that kept surprising him. However, no one knew better than Nathaniel how much effort Mango had to put in behind to achieve this success.
Naturally, Mango won the competition.
Gisella refused to accept such results. She wanted to compete with Mango again, but Mango refused.
She couldn't accept her defeat, so she broke Mango's violin right on the spot.
Dillon's face darkened at her behaviour.
"What? Someone like her doesn't deserve to play the violin at all!"
Dillon was an important figure at the music festival. With his words, Gisella was naturally blacklisted in the music industry.
Her teacher frantically tried to save the situation.
"Mr. Azbel, she's just bad-tempered, but she means no harm."
"Really? She's a b*tch who paid someone to hit my wife and cause her marriage! So, how could you still stay that she meant no harm?"
The audience was shocked when they heard Nathaniel's deep voice booming throughout the hall.
Gisella turned pale after hearing this.
"Huh? Na...Nathaniel, what nonsense are you
spouting now?"
"Heh! Nonsense? Then let the evidence speak for itself!"
This violin competition had attracted quite a crowd, and many of the famous locals had come too, so it was the best occasion for Nathaniel to expose Gisella.
Mango frowned slightly at this scene.
How could he have evidence?
She looked at Nathaniel while the latter ordered Ned to bring their witness up.
A middle-aged woman called Bette Zhang told everyone how Gisella bribed her husband into hitting Mango with a car.
"What? You're insane! This is slander!"
Gisella wanted to move forward and hit Bette, but Ned stopped her.
"Miss Shen, what's the hurry? She's not finished yet."
As soon as Ned finished speaking, Bette took out a recording pen.
She had recorded the entire process. Gisella had found her husband and persuaded him to take up the job by promising to take care of her and their child after his death. After that, she paid him five million dollars to run over Mango with a car to kill
her.
The audience burst into an uproar after hearing this recording.
"Such a vicious woman!"
"Exactly. She looks so young, but why is she so evil? Urgh! Whoever married this b*tch must have extremely bad luck."
"How disappointing! She looks innocent, but she actually is too evil! Hurry up and send her to the police station. How can someone like her even play the violin?"
The people around immediately erupted into a discussion, and Gisella could only stomp her feet in anger.
"What? You all are framing me! Mango, how smart of you! Argh! You've used Nathaniel to frame me so that you could take over my mother's house. Aren't you afraid of karma? How could you spout such lies in broad daylight? Aren't you afraid of the consequences? Huh?"
Mango chose to ignore Gisella's false accusations.
She picked up her violin and came to Dillon. She said respectfully, "Mr. Azbel, am I qualified to take the exam now?"
"Yes, I'm looking forward to seeing your improvement, but you have to pay attention to your health as well."
"Alright, thank you, sir. I'm going to leave first."
Mango stood up and left without giving Nathaniel one last glance.
However, Nathaniel was frantic to see her leave just like that. He quickly told Ned to take care of the rest and hurried to follow her.
"Mango!"
"What's the matter?"
Mango stopped in her tracks when he called out to her.
She no longer looked at Nathaniel with the loving gaze that she had before. Instead, he felt heartbroken when he saw her depressed gaze.
"I'm going back to Ocean City."
Hearing Nathaniel's words, Mango's body shook slightly.
Was he finally leaving?
Suddenly, she felt reluctant to let him leave, and she almost asked him to stay. But in the end, she managed to control her emotions.
After all, it was better for them to live separately now that they were about to divorce.
"Okay, have a safe journey."
Mango did not dare to look at Nathaniel.
He had lost so much weight that his eyes were sunken.
Mango didn't know why he was sullen and miserable. But, she didn't dare to ask him anything, so she could only turn around before leaving awkwardly.
Nathaniel was worried to see Mango in such a state. However, he also knew that if he stayed here, she would be even more upset.
He sighed aloud and muttered, "Take good care of yourself."
Mango paused for a moment after hearing this. Then, she nodded and left.
She walked to the car without stopping. As she sat down, she could feel that her back was drenched in a cold sweat.
How could he give up their relationship so easily? This was a relationship that he once would do anything in the world for!
Mango looked over at Nathaniel, who was giving out orders to Ned. She carefully observed his features and expressions and engraved the image of him deep in her heart.
Goodbye, Nathaniel.
