The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)
Chapter 976

"Find someone to target all of Bernard's business.

I want to see all his businesses going bankrupt in a week."

"Yes sir!"

Ned had completely taken over Thomas' position since Thomas was admitted to the hospital.

Nathaniel had also gradually handed some overseas business to Ned.

"What about Gisella..."

"We're not in a hurry, so send someone to monitor her. Let's ask my wife what she wants to do with her after she wake up."

Nathaniel wanted to hand over the rights to punish Gisella to Mango as she was the one that got hurt by this woman.

He could tell that Mango didn't want to hide behind him and always rely on him for help. She wanted to build her career now, so he wanted to fulfil her wish.

It was also a good thing that Mango wanted to improve, right?

Ned left to carry out Nathaniel's orders.

Mango was still asleep when Nathaniel went back

to the ward.

He felt upset when he looked at her chapped life.

She had suffered a lot even though she had lived a luxurious life since childhood.

It hadn't been long since she had just lost her child.

Nathaniel felt that he wasn't a competent husband. How could he allow Mango to bear such sufferings again?

Suddenly, he received a call from Zion, so he went out to pick up the call with a frown on his face.

"Mr. Ye, I'm back. Where's mommy? I'll go find you guys."

"Don't come over here first."

Zion frowned when he heard Nathaniel's words.

"Why not?"

"Your mommy has something to do, so she went out. I'll send her to visit you when she returns."

Nathaniel did not want his son to know of Mango's current state.

Zion was now already locked up in JQ. His future would be unpredictable if he did something out of impulse once he heard what had happened to Mango. He believed that Mango would definitely not want

her son to know about her condition too.

Zion didn't quite believe his words.

"Mr. Ye, are you hiding something from me?"

"No. Your mommy had really gone for a business trip. She recently set up her company, so she has a lot to do. I'll visit you together with her after she comes back." "Are you and mommy alright? I heard that both of you got into an argument."

Zion kept asking piercing questions.

"It's nothing."

Nathaniel denied it directly.

"Return to JQ if you have nothing to do. A lot of problems have happened lately, and I don't want your mommy to worry about you. Do you understand?" "Ok, I understand."

Zion nodded.

"By the way, Mr. Ye, grandma called me today and asked me if I have the time to visit her at her house."

"Grandma?"

Nathaniel's eyes suddenly narrowed.

Was Zion talking about Mrs. Shen?

"Yes. Grandpa also said he drew a drawing for me.

Should I go to grandma's house for a few days?"

"You're not allowed to go!"

Nathaniel panicked and replied to Zion in a harsher tone, which stunned Zion.

"Mr. Ye, what's wrong?"

"Nothing. Your grandma is busy as she needs to deal with Gisella, so you shouldn't go to cause more trouble. Plus, your mother hasn't been getting along with her recently. Hence, she'll worry about you if you go there."

Nathaniel pondered for a moment and decided to give Zion a brief explanation. However, Zion was smart, and he had detected that Nathaniel was hiding something from him. "Mommy is..."

"Look, be a good boy and go back first. Rita went to the forests to do some sketching, and Wisdom is still training. So, no one will play with you at home. Your mommy and I can't take care of everything on our own, right? So you should take care of yourself to help us out, alright?"

Zion could already confirm that something was gone wrong between Nathaniel, Mango and the Shen family parents when he heard this.

"Okay, I'll go back now!"

However, he didn't say anything else.

He directly gave Terrance a call and went back immediately after he hung up the call from Nathaniel.

Although he did not know what had happened between Mango and the Shen family, he knew that he would cause trouble for them if he were to go to the Shen family's house from what Nathaniel had said. Zion couldn't help but worry for Mango.

Did his mother get hurt?

He sent Mango a message as he thought of this.

"Mommy, I miss you so much. Come and see me if you have time!"

Zion went back after sending this message.

Mrs. Shen waited for quite some time, but Zion never appeared.

"Should we call him again?"

She asked her husband.

Mr. Shen nodded in reply.

However, Zion's phone had already been switched off.

After hanging up the call with Zion, Nathaniel immediately gave Rita and Wisdom's teachers a call respectively. He informed them that nobody except for him was allowed to call them or pick them up. The teachers listened to Nathaniel's words even though they did not know what had happened.

Nathaniel's eyes darkened a little after hanging up the phone.

The Shen family was too shameless!

Did they want to use an innocent to control Mango?

Nathaniel clenched his fists tightly together as he thought of this.

Right now, he was furious, and he wanted to send them someplace where he could never see them again!

Meanwhile, Mango woke up.

She groaned in pain, and this immediately caught Nathaniel's attention.

"Mango, you're awake? How do you feel?"

Mango felt puzzled for a moment as Nathaniel's voice sounded so far away.

"Mango?"

Nathaniel couldn't help but worry when he saw Mango's confusion.

"Are you feeling pain anywhere? I'll go get the doctors."

He was about to stand up and leave when he said these words, but Mango grabbed hold of his

arms.

"Don't... go."

Mango was still weak at this time, but she recalled what had happened when she saw Nathaniel.

She heard people telling Gisella that Nathaniel was coming before she passed out.

She thought that it was an illusion at that time, but now, it seemed that Nathaniel had really rescued her.

"I'm not leaving, and I'm just going to call a doctor. Are you in a lot of pain?"

Nathaniel's heart throbbed in pain when he saw Mango's wounds.

However, Mango shook her head weakly.

"Gisella...did it."

"I know. I won't let her go!"

A trace of cruelty flashed in Nathaniel's eyes.

However, Mango said softly, "No, I want to do it myself."

Nathaniel did not argue. He held her hands and said, "Alright. I'll support you no matter what you do."

"Thank you. Thank you... for coming to save me...'

"1

Mango fainted again after she finished her sentence.

Nathaniel felt heartbroken.

He immediately called the doctor.

After giving Mango a full body check- up, the doctor found out that she had just fainted because of severe pain. Thus, he then injected painkillers for Mango under Nathaniel's instructions. Mango felt pain throughout her body. She kept recalling the memories of her being whipped and blindfolded in her mind.

Gisella!

Wasn't she in prison?

She never thought that Bernard could get Gisella out from that place.

In fact, Mango would've forgotten about Gisella if this incident hadn't happened.

Mango slept the whole night.

Meanwhile, Nathaniel did not leave her at all.

While Mango was recovering, she came down with a fever. Nathaniel helped her wipe her body repeatedly so that her temperature would go down. In the end, her fever resided only the next morning.

There was stubble at Nathaniel's lower jaw, but he did not care.

When Mango opened her eyes, she saw Nathaniel sleeping by her bed.

There were dark circles under his eyes, and she could tell that he had stayed up the previous night.

Mango wanted to get up, but her wound was too painful. She gritted her teeth due to the excruciating pain, but she did not dare not make any noise as she didn't want to wake Nathaniel up.

Suddenly, Nathaniel's phone lit up as Ned had sent him a text.

She took Nathaniel's phone and keyed in his password, which unlocked his phone instantly.

Mango was slightly stunned.

She couldn't believe that he still used her birthday as his phone password even though they were fighting right now.

Mango glanced at Nathaniel again with mixed emotions in her eyes.

She looked down and read the message from Ned.

"Mr. Ye, I've checked that the Shen family parents had indeed given Sir Zion a call. They wanted Zion to go over to their place. After Sir Zion had switched his phone off, they gave Miss Rita and Sir Wisdom a call too. However, their teacher informs the children about this as per your instructions. I've checked that the Shen family wants to use the children to threaten Madam so that she will let Gisella go. Bernard is protecting Gisella now, and they escaped overseas last night."

Mango's heart suddenly ached when she saw all of these.

Although she had known that Mr. and Mrs. Shen could do anything for their biological daughter, Gisella, she never expected them to be so ruthless. How could they drag her innocent children into this mess? They used to really like Zion and Rita.

After all, the children knew nothing about the current situation! They could even think that their grandparents missed them and wanted them to go over to play when they received their call.

Mango couldn't simply imagine what would happen to her children if Nathaniel hadn't given the teachers these instructions.

The Shen family had crossed the line!

She had always let them be because she felt that she owed them too much as they had raised her themselves. However, she never thought that they would try to take advantage of her repeatedly.

Gisella had dared to whip her today, so her parents would also dare to use her children for the sake of their wicked plans!

Mango knew that the Shen family dared to take such extreme measures because she had not taken action on them previously.

Her heart suddenly ached.

She knew that it was time to make a choice.

Mr. and Mrs. Shen had always taken advantage of her kindness to get Gisella out of trouble.

The pain in Mango's body caused her whole body to shiver, and her heart had turned cold.

She could no longer back off for the sake of her children.

A determined gaze flashed in Mango's eyes, and she used Nathaniel's phone to reply to Ned directly.

"Find a way to ruin the Shen family's reputation."

Mr. and Mrs. Shen were already in dire states. However, whenever Gisella got into trouble, Mr. Shen could use his reputation in the art industry to contact his powerful subordinates and mentees to help her.

Therefore, they were the ones who were supporting Gisella's actions.

Therefore, Mango decided to be heartless for her children. After all, Mr. and Mrs. Shen would do anything to help their biological daughter.

Ned was slightly stunned.

"Mr. Ye, please give your orders."

Mango paused for a while and said, "I remember that Mr. Shen once plagiarised one of Edvard Much's artwork. You can start from here. By the way, I'm Mango."

Ned was stunned when he saw this.

Madam Mango had sent him that text?

However, he did not ask anymore and replied directly, "Alright, Madam. I will do so now."

There was a flash of pain within Mango's eyes after she put the phone down.

Why did they have to force Mango to use such extreme means against them?
