The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye) -
Chapter 987
"What's wrong?"
Of course, Nathaniel saw how Mango's expression changed.
"Hmm... I think I saw this person before."
Mango's brain wasn't working well as too many incidents had happened recently. Her memory was not as good as before, but she felt that this man looked very familiar.
Nathaniel couldn't help but became nervous when he heard her saying this.
"What? You've seen him before? Where?"
"Argh! I... I can't remember. But he just looks too familiar!"
Mango wanted to remember him desperately, but nothing came to her mind.
"Don't think about it. Let's talk about it later because there's no hurry."
Nathaniel couldn't help but worry about Mango when he saw her acting like this.
"But Rainie wants to know who the murderer was! Urgh! What's wrong with my brain recently?"
Mango became anxious and gave herself a slap on the head.
Nathaniel quickly held her hand to stop her. He said with an upset tone, "Are you a fool? Do you think you will remember it by slapping your head? Don't think about it anymore. You will eventually remember him since you said that he was familiar. You're still a patient now, so leave all of these to me. After all, Thomas is my subordinate, so I won't let the murderer escape."
"This driver was a hired murderer, right? Who are the people behind him?"
Mango was not stupid.
The perpetrator would not dare to attack Thomas personally. After all, Nathaniel and Mango were powerful and influential in Ocean City.
In fact, the culprit would go to prison once people starting investigating this case!
Nathaniel nodded his head upon Mango's words.
"Well, Bernard is the one behind this. You were right, this might have something to do with Gisella."
"Might? It's too obvious! She did it! She got into a fight with Rainie and me, so she would definitely do something to her!"
Mango's face looked a little down.
"Urgh! Gisella deserves to die."
"I can make sure she died mysteriously in Angolla if you wish for it."
A trace of violence flashed in Nathaniel's eyes.
However, Mango held his hand and shook her head, saying, "There's no need to that. Sometimes, people suffer more alive than when they're dead. Have you heard a saying that one would rather die than to live? Since Gisella wants to steal everything wrong me, I'll make sure she's left with nothing! I will get rid of everything previous to her and torture her so much until she begs me to kill her!"
She could still let her be if Gisella was only taking action on her, but it was obvious that the latter had gone too far. Not only did she want to hurt Thomas, but she had also planned to kill him!
Mango wished so badly to tear Gisella apart when she thought about how Thomas was still lying in the ICU. He showed no signs of waking up anytime soon, and Rainie was working so hard for him and her father.
Nathaniel hugged her tightly into his embrace and said in a low voice, "Do whatever you want to do. I'm supporting you. Don't worry, I'll bear with the consequences of your actions."
"You're a fool! How could I let you bear it alone? We're a married couple. You can rest assured that I won't do anything against the law, but at the same time, I will make Gisella repay everything that she owes us!"
Mango was confident.
Nathaniel really liked how confident she looked right now. At the same time, he didn't care about what would happen to other people.
"Okay, as long as you are happy."
Mango was stunned for a moment. When she noticed what her husband said, she laughed and said, "You're not afraid that I'll get into trouble?"
"Of course not. After all, I'm your husband."
Nathaniel's confidence left Mango speechless.
Her husband had been acting high and mighty recently!
She just glared at Nathaniel without saying anything, but she directly sent a message to Rainie.
"Where are you?"
She got a reply instantly.
"I've just finished recording a song. The song arranger said to rest for a while, and we'll continue in the afternoon. I was just about to go to the hospital to visit you. What is it? What do you want to eat? I'll buy some for you."
Rainie was worried about Mango. However, she could not visit Mango anytime she wanted because she was a public figure. Besides, Nathaniel and his bodyguards were protecting her, so Mango should be fine.
She couldn't skip anything of her recordings. After all, many people worked hard so that she could release an album quickly.
Therefore, Rainie couldn't wait to rush to the hospital to visit Mango now that she finally had the time to rest.
Mango smiled and said, "Nah, I'm not craving anything. Besides, Mr. Ye already bought everything I wanted here."
"Oh, my god. Why do you have to show off your love now?"
Rainie that she shouldn't
asked Mango what the latter wanted to eat. In fact, Nathaniel probably had bought over the nearest grocery store to
hospital at this time so
he could cook for her!
Mango's smile grew brighter.
"Come on, I miss you."
"Hmm... Mr. Ye would be jealous if he heard this."
"No, he won't!"
Mango did not avoid Nathaniel at all and typed all the messages in front of him."
Nathaniel gave a few glances to her phone, and he slightly raised the corner of his lips.
He liked Mango showing off their relationship.
In fact, he was delighted!
Mango turned back and looked at Nathaniel after throwing her phone away with a flattering smile.
"Honey."
Nathaniel felt his legs going weak.
Mango was such a tease, and she had never called him this way for a long time. Now that she had finally done so, it meant that she was trying to ask him for a favour!
"Yes?"
Nathaniel lowered his voice. Mango's heart throbbed when she heard the trace of a faint smile in his words.
Nathaniel was really good at seducing people.
"Um...I want to eat passionfruit. Can you get some for me? Pretty please?"
Hah! Mango was obviously trying to drive him away!
Nathaniel wasn't an ignorant person. He would naturally leave since Mango wanted some time alone with Rainie.
"Alright."
"Hmm... I heard that the passionfruit in the Kenzaar is very delicious."
Mango smiled mischievously.
Nathaniel sighed secretly.
She wanted him to go to that place!
It would take four hours to go back and forth from Kenzaar, and it would take longer if there were heavy traffic!
She was totally trying to kick him out the entire day!
Mango looked at Nathaniel mischievously. So, he shook her head dotingly and said, "Alright, what else do you want besides the passion fruit?"
"You can buy whatever you want."
"Call me if something happens."
"Got it."
Mango nodded.
Nathaniel was a little upset after seeing how Mango wanted to get rid of him.
"I'll go abroad to get experts."
"Huh?"
Mango felt a bit stunned when Nathaniel suddenly brought this topic up.
"I'm going to get an expert to cure Thomas. Urgh! I need him to wake up so that his wife will stop trying to steal my wife!"
Nathaniel sounded like he was complaining.
Mango smiled immediately.
She never knew that Nathaniel was such a clingy husband!
"Okay, hurry up! Rainie is coming soon."
"What do both of you want to talk about? Why do you have to kick me away?"
Nathaniel said this unwillingly, and he wanted to argue against her.
However, Mango smiled and said, "You won't feel comfortable we talk about some women's problems, so hurry up and leave!"
She rushed him out this time.
Nathaniel felt dismayed.
"Hm...give me a reward then."
"What?"
Nathaniel grabbed the back of Mango's head before she could react and gave her an overbearing kiss until she lost her breath.
"Mmm...how sweet!"
Nathaniel smiled and left after he said that.
Mango panted heavily. She was a little speechless at how cunning Nathaniel was!
He was too abominable!
She drank some water. The information in her hands felt heavy.
Besides, would the driver admit what he had done if they found him?
Also, would he still be alive since he was only part of Gisella and Bernard's scheme? Perhaps they could have paid him and took his life after he had carried out their orders!
In fact, they couldn't do anything if the driver took the blame and refused to name Gisella and Bernard.
Mango still felt that the driver looked familiar, but she couldn't remember where she met him.
Meanwhile, Rainie came in with some fruits just as Mango was in deep thoughts. She had even brought some passion fruits with her!
"You look good. How are you? Is your wound still painful?"
Rainie knew about Mango's injury, but she didn't want to look at it. However, she teased Mango when she saw that the latter had a better complexion.
"Of course! How could it not hurt? My bones could even be seen already after that three whips. I'm not dead, so it's painful as f*ck!"
Mango pouted with a face full of grievances.
"Well, don't be like this. I am not Nathaniel."
Rainie unintentionally saw the folder containing information in Mango's hand as she put the fruits on the table.
"What's this?"
"Take a look."
Mango passed the folder to Rainie.
Nathaniel had left this folder with her so that she could solve this problem herself. Therefore, as her best friend, Rainie had the right to look at this folder too.
Rainie was a little surprised when she took it. However, her expression changed tremendously when she opened and read the contents inside it.
"Have you found the driver?"
"Not yet. To be exact, Nathaniel just gave me this information not long ago. I guess someone investigated it recently, and I'm not sure if the police has a copy of it, but I think Nathaniel wants to let you see this
first."
Rainie's eyes darkened when she heard what Mango said.
"Hah! I didn't expect it to be him!"
Mango was slightly stunned when she heard Rainie's words.
"Huh? Do you know this driver?" "He's called Bocky Anderson. I think he used to be my neighbour!"
Rainie said in a low voice.
Mango finally remembered why Bocky Anderson looked so familiar.
Rainie was right!
He used to be Rainie's neighbour.
Mango always went to Rainie's place, and she would bump into Bocky from time to time. Therefore, both of them met quite often. Later on, Rainie even introduced Bocky's son to a kindergarten and became
his son's kindergarten teacher.
Bocky and his wife even purposely went to Rainie's house to express their gratitude because of this, and Mango was there at that time.
After that, the two families frequently travelled together. Mango had also met them a few times, so she became familiar with them.
Mango had never thought that Bocky, who looked so simple-minded, was actually the driver that ran over Thomas!
"He has nothing to with Thomas. Why did he..."
Mango calmed down after hearing Rainie's question.
"Well, he could have still done something to him even though they're not related. Maybe Gisella found out his secret and decided to threaten him with it."
"Huh? Did you confirm that Gisella has something to do with this?"
"Not yet for now. However, I think that there will be a breakthrough in this case if we find Bocky."
Mango's brows were tightly knit together.
It was not easy to find Anderson.
Previously, they had not managed to capture Bocky. Some time had passed since then, so they did not know whether Bocky was still in hiding. Perhaps he could have even fled overseas! Furthermore, even if
they caught him, Bocky could be unwilling to tell them who had ordered him to run over Thomas.
Rainie looked upset.
Mango's phone rang at this moment. However, she frowned when she saw that an unknown number was calling.
