The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)
Chapter 965

"Cecelia, why are you so shameless?"

Rainie was constantly paying attention to Cecelia. When she saw Cecelia coming towards Mango, she immediately took a step forward and protected Mango.

How could Mango allow Rainie to get hurt because of her?

Mango held Rainie's waist and kicked her left foot out.

"Bang!" Cecelia flew out and hit the musical instrument next to her. They heard a clattering sound as both she and the instrument fell to the ground.

Everyone, except Rainie, was amazed by Mango. They had not expected Mango to be this agile.

Mango's eyes turned cold.

She looked at Cecelia and said, "Hey you! I don't care if you uploaded the video, but I can't forgive you if you want to fight with me. Also, we don't have anything against each other right? Even if I replaced Pinksy, why are you the one who's trying to hurt me? Huh? If I didn't respond in time, I would've been disfigured by now! Were you merely seeking justice for Pinksy, or were you jealous because you liked Lebanon? Ha! You know the answer."

Cecelia knew that Mango had found out about her true intentions. Although she was still hurt from the fall, she was even more embarrassed right now!

She subconsciously looked at Lebanon and saw him looking at her with a pair of cold eyes. She could not help but cry.

"Non... nonsense! I did it for Pinksy! Her family is in trouble, but you're the CEO of a company, so what else do you want? You're so disgusting!"

"Haha! Should I know beforehand that Pinksy's family has some difficulties? Or do you mean that if I don't join the recording team, your guys can stop recording and wait for Pinksy? Do you want the whole team to be stuck here for a few days because of her? Huh?"

Mango's words made Cecelia speechless.

Cecelia sobbed as if she had been wronged. On the other hand, Mango looked like her bully.

Ares quickly stepped forward as this situation had gotten out of hand, and he said, "Ms. Shen, please don't be angry. Leave it to me. I promise..."

"Get her out of B City! I don't want to see her again in my life!"

Before Ares could finish his words, Lebanon opened his mouth unexpectedly.

Cecelia could not believe her ears.

Lebanon was well-mannered and courteous on screen. How could he be so cruel?

"Lebanon, I..."

"Shut up! Don't try to call my name!"

Now Lebanon seemed to be possessed by the king of wrath. His image now was completely inconsistent with his personality on the screen.

Cecelia's jaw dropped. Apparently, she was too stunned at Lebanon's two-faced behaviour.

Mango felt sorry for Cecelia.

However, she did not say anything else. She pulled Rainie to take a step back with her and said to Ares, "Ares, I think it should be impossible to record anything today. Rainie and I will go back first." "OK... sure thing. I'm really sorry for what happened today. Ms. Shen, I'll handle it. Let's continue to do it tomorrow, yeah?"

"Yeah, no problem."

Mango nodded with a smile.

"By the way, I'll compensate you for the broken instruments here. I was too impulsive just now. Sorry."

Mango left the recording studio courteously with Rainie.

Outside the studio, Rainie said angrily, "Cecelia is usually quiet, but I didn't expect her to be despicable. Urgh! You'll be miserable if the video continues to spread. She's really detestable!" "Well, I guess she couldn't control herself as her prince charming was looking at me affectionately."

Mango was somewhat speechless.

Hearing this, Rainie immediately became interested.

"By the way, what's your relationship with Lebanon?"

"Well, if I tell you that I've got nothing to do with him, and we met for the first time today, will you believe me?"

There was nothing Mango could do about it.

Rainie looked at Mango in astonishment. However, she still believed what Mango had said.

"Huh? Why did he look at you so affectionately when you guys only met for the first time? Have you ever offended him?"

"No! Of course not!"

Mango was more speechless than anyone else.

She told Rainie that Lebanon wanted to sign under Illimite Entertainment.

Rainie frowned slightly after hearing this news.

"Didn't you let Nathaniel investigate his background?"

"There's still no news from him."

Mango sighed.

Rainie's eyes suddenly widened.

"Wait... you went to look for Nathaniel? Have you two reconciled?"

Mango paused for a moment, then shook her head, "No, I just felt that I needed him in this matter. It would be great if he could help me, but if he can't do so, I'll find someone else."

"Um... not bad. You've become smart!"

Rainie was very happy about this.

"Let me tell you one thing. I believe that all men are cheaters. But, to be honest, I really don't think that Nathaniel cheated on you."

Mango did not believe it too.

However, they were both hiding secrets from each other. Thus, she really didn't want to continue this relationship as they did not trust each other anymore.

"Well, alright... When I talk about Nathaniel, you're depressed again. Let's not mention him anymore.

Hmm... why did Lebanon look for you? Besides, you don't know him, but he's helping you so much, and he even looked at you affectionately when you were playing the zither. Although Cecelia made a mistake when she released the video, his feelings in the video can't be fake. You know that Lebanon has a lot of fans. So, it's not good that you're getting so much attention from him..."

How could Mango not be aware of this?

Then, Mango said gloomily, "Argh... we're going out from the back exit. If I'm right, Desmond should be waiting for us there."

Just as Mango finished speaking, Desmond's call came in.

"Ms. Shen, I am already at the back door."

"Got it. I'm on the way."

Mango hung up the phone.

Rainie said while smiling, "Desmond is loyal to you. If he becomes an actor, he could be more popular than Lebanon! Think about it. With Desmond's appearance, he'll attract lots of women as soon as he shows up in public. Besides, Desmond has no plans of dating now. If you market him as a single idol, he'll win the hearts of the public in no time!"

"I don't think Desmond likes people commenting about his life, though."

Mango did not think of Desmond.

Desmond was incredibly handsome, and Rainie was right about this. As long as he wanted to be involved in the entertainment industry, he would definitely be popular. However, Mango knew Desmond did not want to do this. Besides, he had dedicated his life to Marrisa, and Marissa's parents and himself.

He did not want to be rich, so he did not consider joining the entertainment industry.

Rainie said with some disappointment, "Look at you. Your company has just been established, and you got newbies who only have four months of experience. It is not good for the future development of your company if you don't sign with an A-lister soon!"

"I know, so I've already asked Clarissa to look for someone who is suitable."

"The company is not famous, and no one will be willing to sign a contract with us. About Lebanon... No! He must have his own reasons for getting close to you."

Rainie was extremely vigilant.

Mango said in a deep voice, "I know, so I plan not to sign the contract with him."

"Is it because of what happened today?"

"That's right."

Mango always felt that Lebanon's motive was suspicious.

Desmond started the engine after the two of them quickly got inside. When she passed by the front door, Mango's observant eyes discovered that some reporters were already waiting at the entrance of the Polygon Spartial Building.

If Mango and Lebanon came out together, she would probably be seen by the reporters, and then she would not know what would happen on the Internet.

Mango felt agitated for some reason.

Rainie felt tired as she had been busy recording her album, so she took a nap in the car.

Mango did not disturb her and allowed her to rest for a while. Suddenly, a notification appeared on her phone.

She looked down and found it was a text from Nathaniel.

"Are you alright?"

"I'm fine. I'm already heading back."

Mango replied.

She paused and added, "Um... Thank you."

Nathaniel looked at the phone and raised the corner of his mouth slightly.

"It's my responsibility. You're still my wife."

Mango felt a lump rising in her throat after reading those words.

She had sent the divorce agreement to Nathaniel for a long time, but he had never signed it. However, she did not insist on getting it signed, so she did not want to bring up this complicated issue for now. Mango simply changed the topic.

"Have you checked Lebanon's background?"

"He's from T Country and has a great eminence in the society."

Nathaniel's message shocked Mango for quite a while.

"The T Country is a small country, but it's financially stable. It's a country that many countries are eager to cooperate with. Any country will give in to their demands anytime."

Nathaniel also said that Lebanon was of a higher status.

If Lebanon had a higher social status, he could have anything at his fingertips!

Why did he have to sign a contract with such a small company?

As Mango thought about it, she could not believe what was happening right now!

Was Lebanon bored? Or was he interested in

Mango? Perhaps he had some other reasons?

Mango could not figure anything out, so she decided to avoid him instead.

"Thank you for telling me all these things. I'll keep a distance from him, and I'll make sure something like this doesn't happen again."

Before Nathaniel could say anything, Mango had already sent this message over.

His gaze suddenly softened a lot.

"Alright."

Suddenly, Nathaniel felt that this word couldn't express his current feelings, so he added, "Take care of your health."

"Got it."

Mango suddenly felt that she was alright with their current relationship.

Both of them did not know what to say at this moment.

Nathaniel suddenly said, "Zion has been performing excellently at JQ recently. He will have ten days off. Shall I take him to meet you at that time?"

Mango's heart skipped a beat.

Their children did not know the current situation between them. Also, Zion was their most brilliant child. If he were to come over, he would probably notice that there was something fishy. Mango suddenly did not want the children to know all these things.

"Will Rita and Wisdom come along?"

"I don't think so. Rita recently joined a drawing class, and Wisdom took part in a camp. Only Zion is free."

Nathaniel also knew that if the three children went to Mango together, Mango would hide the cruel truth from them. However, this was not what he wanted.

Mango would always belong to him. Since he could not get her back, it seemed reasonable for him to ask his son for help.

Thinking of this, Nathaniel smiled proudly.

As long as Zion returned, Nathaniel was sure that his wife would come home!
