The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye) -
Chapter 957
Mango hid in the car and watched Nathaniel leave before getting out of the car.
The police came and arrested Gisella.
Nathaniel had done everything that Mango originally wanted to do, but she had mixed feelings about this outcome.
If nothing bad had happened, they would still be a married couple, and Nathaniel would take care of her preciously. However, everything was different now.
She could not let go of her feelings towards him, but she had to force herself to forget about them.
Mango was in a terrible mood, but she knew that she could not continue to live like this.
Rainie was working hard by taking intensive training lessons, so she had to do her part too!
However, she was now in a helter-skelter state as she didn't know where to begin.
She wanted to start a film and television company, but she was having some problems. What resources did she need, and who could help her with this? Mango took the opportunity to improve her violin techniques after asking Desmond to get more information on establishing a film and television company.
While Desmond was checking things out, the car design competition in Ocean City also began.
Although Mango gave up on the competition, she still turned on her computer on this day to watch the live broadcast.
There were a total of ten contestants in the preliminary contest.
When everyone's design appeared on the big screen, Mango's eyes lit up.
All of the designers had different muses and inspirations. Hence, the designs were all unique and different.
Mango was watching attentively when a design suddenly caught her eye.
She frowned slightly and took a photo of the design.
It was from a participant named Kimberly Liu, a newbie who had not designed any products before.
Mango narrowed her eyes.
She could not help but search for her own design. When she compared her sketch with Kimberly's design, their basic framework and sketches were similar even though the latter had made some slight changes!
Kimberly had plagiarized her design!
When Mango realized this, she could not help but feel a little indignant.
All designers were the same, and they treated their own creations as precious treasures. Stealing a designer's creation would be similar to kidnapping their child. It was a disgusting and irritating act! Mango immediately phoned the organizer of the competition.
"Hello, I'm Katherine. Kimberly Liu plagiarized my design. Although I did not participate in this competition, I can't let others steal my idea and deceive the public." Mango directly revealed her pseudonym in the design industry.
After receiving a phone call from Mango, the host was shocked. He said that he would suspend the competition and conduct investigations on this plagiarism issue. Mango told them her address. However, the organizer requested her to provide the original drawing and her drafts on the design.
She was slightly taken aback by this question.
All of her designs and sketches were on the computer of The Ye's Mansion in Ocean City. She had not brought them out yet.
When Mango did not know what to do, Nathaniel sent pictures of all her design manuscripts, sketches and the design timescale over.
Mango's heart skipped a beat, but she was still slightly upset.
She paused for a moment and sent these screenshots to the host.
The host understood everything after taking a glance at it.
Kimberly was completely banned from the competition, and she was blacklisted in the design industry.
She left shamefully, but Nathaniel's sidekicks stopped her.
"Who allowed you to do this?"
Nathaniel looked at Kimberly in disdain as he didn't want to waste his time dealing with someone like her. His angry aura shocked Kimberly, and she started crying.
"I... I didn't know the consequences of doing this. Um...I need a large sum of money from the prize from this competition to send my mother for better treatment. Besides, I really wanted a better future, but I didn't expect that the outcome will be so severe! I'm so... sorry!" "Hah! You shouldn't be apologising to me. Plus, I'm not Katherine herself. But you'd better tell me who asked you to do this? This is my wife's design, and no many people have access to The Yes Mansion. Tell me! How did you get these drawings?"
Nathaniel's questions were sharp and oppressive.
Kimberly cried and said, "A... a woman named Gisella connived in giving me all these. She said that as long as I win the competition, she would give me a sum of money. I really don't know how she got into the Yes Mansion..."
Hearing this, Nathaniel's eyes darkened.
Gisella was really trying to bring Mango down will all kinds of evil schemes!
"How old are you?"
"I... am twenty."
Kimberly whispered.
Nathaniel looked at her without any compassion.
"Well, since you're already twenty, you're an adult, so you should bear the responsibilities of your own actions. You said that you didn't know the severity of this crime, which suggests that you actually know it's wrong to do this. However, you still did it. Therefore, you have to pay for it. After all, the world is a harsh place, and no one will forgive your mistakes other than your parents."
After that, he asked someone to take Kimberly away.
Nathaniel passed Kimberly's confession to the officers in B City.
Mango had also received the news quickly. After learning that Gisella had schemed against her, Mango spent some money to visit her in the detention centre.
The moment she saw Mango, Gisella pounced on her like a crazy woman.
"Mango, let me out! You b*tch!"
Before she could even go near Mango, the latter kicked her to the group.
The policewoman beside her quickly subdued Gisella.
Mango looked at Gisella as if the latter had gone insane. She said coldly, "You've always been scheming me and going against me. Now you're saying that I am the one who bullied you? Naha! Gisella, you're using your financial status as an excuse. Can't you show some remorese after making so many mistakes? You even wanted to hit me in front of the police. Do you really not want to be released on bail?" Gisella said fiercely, "Mango! I'm going to kill you! Even if I can't do it, Bernard will take revenge for me. He'll bail me out. Hah! You just wait and see!"
"Well, I will. If Bernard really loves you, maybe he'll really get you out from here."
After that, Mango turned around and left.
She came here to see how Gisella was doing, and she felt much better after seeing her.
If Bernard could really bail Gisella out, she would definitely grab hold of Bernard's weakness.
After leaving the detention center, Mango received a call from Emberly.
"Are you free? Let's have dinner together."
"Sure."
In B City, Mango only had one friend, who was Emberly. Now that Rainie was busy with her training, she was happy to receive Emberly's invitation. Besides, she had been feeling down lately because of all the incidents that had happened.
When Emberly saw Mango, she felt as if the latter had lost a lot of weight.
"Are you going on a diet?"
"No, it's just that I've had a bad appetite lately."
Mango did not hide it from Emberly.
She really hated food.
Since her miscarriage, she did not like to eat, and she was a little depressed.
Emberly looked at her worriedly and said, "Hey, don't feel so depressed. If you're free these days, why don't you relax more?"
"No, I'm fine. Recently, I'm busy with my film and television company, so I don't really have time to go out. Besides, I don't want to go out either as it'll be the same since I haven't sorted out my thoughts." This was the truth.
Emberly still wanted to say something, but she stopped herself when she saw Mango's expression.
"I know someone that works in the approval centre of the entertainment industry. Would you like me to introduce him to you? Why not you try it out?"
Emberly discussed about Mango's work
immediately.
Mango nodded her head.
"That's great. I was just worried that I couldn't find a way out. Urgh... I'm completely at a loss here."
"Then, I'll give you his contact details. You guys can discuss it."
Emberly passed the contact information of the person to Mango.
Mango thanked her profusely.
The two of them ate their lunch happily, and Mango felt much better during that time.
When they finished, Emberly insisted on asking the driver to send her back. Mango could not refuse, so she went along with it.
After she left, Emberly picked up the phone and called Nathaniel.
"I've already done what you asked me to do, and I didn't tell her that you were the one who recommended him. She's in a good mood now. But Nathaniel, are you sure you don't want to tell her that you're helping her behind her back?"
"No, she wants to have nothing to do with me now. I know her personality, so let her me. Everything's fine as long as she's happy."
Nathaniel's voice was hoarse.
Emberly frowned slightly.
"You should probably smoke lesser. Besides, even if you don't stand a chance to be with Mango anymore, you should take care of your body. After all, you were the careless one. How could you let another woman leave a lipstick stain on your shirt even though you all were only talking? Did she trick you somehow? Or were you too careless? Furthermore, you still haven't explained to Mango clearly. I guess what you discussed with that woman has something to do with Mango, am I right?"
Nathaniel frowned slightly and said coldly, "Does Eugene know that you like to peep into my personal affairs?"
"Don't get me wrong. I'm not interested in you at all."
After hanging up the phone, Emberly looked thoughtfully at the direction in which Mango left.
Mango did not know anything about this. After returning home alone, she began to contact the person whom Emberly had introduced.
When the person over the phone heard that it was Mango, he directly asked her to prepare the materials and send them over the next day. After that, he could give her the approval immediately.
Mango was jovial, and she secretly praised Emberly for having such useful connections.
She happily prepared all the documents. Then, she took a shower and went to sleep.
After all, she wanted to be prepared for tomorrow.
Haniya saw that Mango was sleeping soundly, so she turned off the light and left the room quietly. Then, she went to the balcony outside and began to call Nathaniel.
"Mr. Ye, Madam has fallen asleep. The approval centre asked her to bring over the documents tomorrow."
"I see. Take good care of her. If there's anything, you can report to me at any time."
"All right."
After hanging up the phone, Nathaniel looked at Mango's photo on his phone's lockscreen with a darkened expression.
Mango felt refreshed after she woke up.
After breakfast, she took the documents to the approval center.
"Mango!"
Someone called out her name out of sudden.
Mango turned around and froze when she saw the person.
"Why are you here?"
She did not intend to stop, but her feet were glued to the ground. Therefore, she could only stand there while watching the person coming towards her from the other side.
