The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye) -
Chapter 958
The ones who came were Mr. and Mrs. Shen!
However, Mango could guess the reason for their sudden arrival.
"Mango, are you alright?"
There was a trace of heartache in Mrs. Shen's eyes.
She looked at Mango with a concerned expression like before, and Mango's heart jumped.
"I'm fine."
She stepped forward and took what was in the hands of Mrs. Shen.
"This is a health supplement that your dad and I bought for you. Remember to eat it."
Mrs. Shen's gaze was kind, and Mango felt like she was about to cry.
"Yes, I will."
"Where do you live now? Are you fighting with Nathan? Why didn't you go back with him?"
Mr. Shen's brows furrowed slightly, but Mango did not know how to answer him.
"I've got something to do here, so I won't go back to Ocean City for the time being."
"What's more important than your health? Huh? You had a miscarriage earlier on, and it is such a serious matter! How can you be here alone? Nathan...He let you stay here by yourself? Even if you told me that you had no problems, I wouldn't believe you!"
Mr. Shen had a bad temper.
When Mango heard that they were concerned about her, her tone softened.
"I'll solve the problem on my own. You're here for Gisella, right?"
When Mango mentioned Gisella, Mr. and Mrs. Shen's expressions changed immediately. Seeing their expression, the warmth that Mango experienced just now dissipated.
"Mom and Dad, if it's because of Gisella, please leave now. I can't do anything about it."
"Why can't you do anything? Mango, if you don't report her, they won't arrest Gisella. Your father and I only have one daughter in our life. Can you spare her for our sake? We've been raising you for so many years..."
Mrs. Shen grabbed the corner of Mango's shirt out of sudden. Her pitiful expression made Mango uncomfortable.
"Hah! She's your daughter, but what about me? I treated you like my own parents for so many years. Mom, can you tell me what did I do wrong? She gave my design to someone else, and she even hired someone to kill me! Will you still think that she's innocent if I died because of the accident that she had planned?"
Mango felt a pang of sadness.
Mr. Shen frowned and said coldly, "Aren't you okay now?"
"My child is gone! Do I look fine to you?"
Mango looked at Mr. Shen as if he was a stranger.
Since when were they so cruel?
Seeing Mango's gaze, Mr. Shen did not dare to look at her. He quickly turned around and said in a low voice, "Yes, your child is gone, but it's not like you can't have another one in the future. Don't you have Zion and Rita? It's fine if you lost a child, but think about Gisella. She hasn't even gotten married yet."
Mango was devastated.
She should not have expected anything from them.
She thought that she was important to them since they had brought her some health supplements. However, she did not expect them to be so cruel.
Mango sneered and stuffed the supplements back into Mrs. Shen's hands before turning around to leave.
"Mango, you can't ignore Gisella. If your mother hadn't schemed against us for so many years, Gisella wouldn't be like this. Please think of it as you atoning for your mother's sins, okay? As long as you let Gisella go, well take her far away from here and leave our house. We promise that she won't disturb you anymore, okay? I... I beg you!"
As she spoke, Mrs. Shen knelt in front of Mango.
There were so many people on the street. When Mrs. Shen knelt, Mango knew that they were trying to blackmail her emotionally.
Wow, they had finally revealed their true intentions now!
It turned out that they were still blaming Queena for her scheme.
Mango turned around to look at the two people who had raised her. She really wanted to remember those happy days when they had brought her preciously. Unfortunately, they did not want her to do so. "I thought we didn't owe each other anymore since the day you sold me off with ten million dollars, hmm?"
Mrs. Shen's face turned pale upon hearing Mango's words.
"Well, since you like kneeling so much, please continue. I'll never let Gisella go. Not only does she want to kill me, but I'm sure she has other plans as well.
After saying that, Mango got onto the car and left.
Mr. and Mrs. Shen had never thought that Mango would be this cruel. They could not help but scold her for being ungrateful behind her back.
Mango felt terrible as the people who used to be her parents were scolding her! However, when she thought of what she was going to do later, she cheered herself up.
Mango took the documents to the approval center and looked for the person in charge according to the number given by Emberly.
Her contact was a middle-aged man in his fifties. He looked like a typical office worker, and he was very enthusiastic about Mango's arrival.
"Miss Shen?"
"Yes, Mr. Whatt. Thanks for seeing me."
Mango smiled quickly.
Jason let Mango enter the office without saying anything else. He asked her to take out the prepared document, and he looked at them and responded, "There's no big problem with this matter. It can be approved at once, but you need more funds for the registration. After all, the entertainment industry is a place where the rich play games. So you should prepare more money just in case something happens." Mango paused, but she said with a smile, "Mr. Whatt, how much do you think is sufficient?"
"I think around 20 million dollars. That would be enough. As long as the funds are here, I'll get it approved right away."
Mango paused at Jason's words, but she still agreed with a smile.
She was in a total dilemma when she left the approval center.
She really could not afford the 20 million registration fee that Jason had mentioned.
What could she do?
Mango looked at the list of her private properties before calling Desmond.
"I remember there is a car under my name."
"Yes, madam. Do you want me to send the car to you from Ocean City?"
Desmond thought that Mango wanted to use the car, so he asked.
Mango said softly, "No. Get someone to sell it. It should be worth a few hundred thousand dollars. Plus, I also have a lot of accessories, so try and find out whether you can pawn them too."
Desmond was shocked.
"Are you in desperate need of money?"
"Yes, I need to pay twenty million dollars for the registration of the film and television company. So, I'm still short of money."
Mango did not hide anything from Desmond.
Desmond said quickly, "I have almost a million, if you need that..."
"No, you don't need to do that. Spend your money on the Fang family instead. You've promised Marissa, so I won't use it. Besides, one million dollars isn't enough to do anything. Look, listen to me and do wha
I say. I won't participate in any important events now, so I don't need any jewelry. You can pawn them first, and then I'll get them back when I earn some money. It won't make a difference."
Mango's words left Desmond speechless.
After hanging up, Mango sat alone on a chair at the park. She watched the old ladies that were exercising there, and she felt at peace.
"Hey, have you heard the news? A female corpse was found at the dock at the Nonestic Ocean. I don't know who she is. But poor thing!" "Yes, I heard that there was a rock tied to her body.
She must have been murdered."
When the two old ladies passed by Mango, they were discussing softly.
Mango frowned slightly.
Had someone been murdered?
Things had been getting more chaotic recently.
Mango felt that it was better for her to go home at this thought.
Mango stood up and walked back to hail a taxi. However, due to the congested road, they had to take a detour.
Mango had no objection to this.
However, the taxi somehow passed by the dock in the Nonestic Ocean.
When Mango recalled the words of the two old ladies earlier, she could not help but feel uneasy. However, it was too late for her to ask the taxi driver to turn around now because there was a traffic jam in that
area.
A bustling crowd surrounded the deck, and it caused heavy congestion on the road.
Mango was not a nosy person, but she felt upset as the taxi was stuck in the traffic.
She got out of the taxi and walked over to the scene.
Walking through the crowd, Mango saw the police were inspecting the corpse and cordoning off the
scene.
Mango glanced at the corpse, and she was shocked.
Why did the corpse look so familiar?
Mango tried to recall where she had met this woman before, and she remembered that she had seen her once at the entrance of the bar. Wasn't this the woman beside Nathaniel?
"Ah!"
She covered her mouth quickly.
"Hi Miss, do you know her?"
A policeman noticed Mango and asked.
Mango shook her head hurriedly. "I don't know her! Sorry...I was shocked because I saw a corpse."
Her eyes flashed with fear, and the policeman immediately understood how she was feeling."
"Don't stay here if you're scared or you'll have nightmares. This is an unpleasant scene, so please leave now."
"Ye... yes."
Mango did not know how she had left the dock. There was a question lingering in her mind, but she could not ask anyone about it here.
She walked out quickly, and her heart was beating fast.
Was Nathaniel related to this woman's death?
Although she hated Nathaniel, Mango was still worried for him. Was he really involved in this murder case?
She finally came to a quiet place, and she phoned Nathaniel.
"Mango?"
Nathaniel was very surprised that Mango would call him. This struck a chord in his heart.
"What's wrong? Is there anything I can do for you?"
Not long ago, he had just found out that Mango did not have sufficient funds to register her company. However, now that Mango had called him, he had subconsciously thought of this.
How could Mango think about the registration of her company right now?
She lowered her voice and asked, "Where is the woman who left a lipstick stain on your shirt last time?"
"Why did you ask?"
Nathaniel's eyes narrowed slightly.
Mango took a deep breath and said, "I want to see her. If you want to marry her, my son and daughter will have a stepmother. I want to know how she is and whether she will take good care of my children."
"I won't divorce you or marry another woman. You don't need to see her."
Nathaniel responded with a cold tone.
"What if I insist on seeing her? Hah! Or is it because she doesn't exist anymore?"
Mango asked the questions skillfully, but Nathaniel could tell that something was off by listening to the tone of her voice.
"What happened?"
