The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)
Chapter 989

"Huh?"

Rainie was a little surprised, but she paused and pressed the emergency button behind the bed when she saw the red spots on Mango's arms.

"How could this be? I thought you're only allergic to peanuts? Why would you have an allergic reaction when there are no peanuts inside here?"

Rainie was so anxious that she broke out in a cold sweat.

Mango already found it difficult to breathe.

Yes, she was only allergic to peanuts. However, not many people knew about it except for her close ones.

However, she had now caught an allergic reaction because of the food. Mango felt that it couldn't be a coincidence. After all, Sasalia Restaurant belonged to Nathaniel. Nathaniel was aware of Mango's taste buds and that she was allergic to peanuts. Therefore, he would definitely not get someone to prepare such food.

Her breaths slower became faster.

"Rainie, pack the food and get someone to test it."

Mango fainted immediately after she said that, and Rainie was frightened that she screamed instantly. Luckily, the doctor came instantly and sent her to the emergency room.

Rainie was very anxious. However, Nathaniel was not around, so she could only force herself to calm down.

She followed Mango's instructions and took the food to the lab so that Emberly could run tests on it. Then, she called Nathaniel.

Nathaniel was extremely anxious when he heard that Mango fainted due to allergic reaction.

This was definitely a planned murder!

Mango was still under rescue when Nathaniel rushed to the hospital. Meanwhile, Rainie stood in the corridor with teary eyes. "How is she?"

"I don't know because she hasn't come out yet. However, the test results are. Someone ground those peanuts into powder and mixed them with the dishes, so Mango had an allergic reaction after eating them. Rainie's whole body was trembling.

It was too terrifying!

They were only having a meal, but Mango fainted suddenly in front of her just like that.

Was this what rich people had to go through every day?

This situation was similar to the TV shows where those mistresses had to kill each other for power. They always had to be alert to save themselves.

Nathaniel's eyes darkened a little.

"Ned, help me check who was the one that prepared this food from Sasalia Restaurant. Also, find out who prepared and delivered this meal. Make sure you check all of them thoroughly." Ned executed Nathaniel's instructions immediately.

Not long after that, Ned sent a message.

"Mr. Ye, the person who delivered the meal is Lily. However, our men found out that Lily has been knocked out at the alley in the back of the hospital, and she has not woken up yet."

"What about the surveillance cameras?"

"The surveillance camera doesn't show footage of the alley."

Nathaniel' gaze became colder after hearing Ned's words.

"There are so many of you protecting Madam alone. Are you all useless?"

Ned didn't dare to say a word.

Something like this never happened in the past when Thomas was around. Therefore, he had to admit that Thomas was a better assistant than he was. "You may leave."

Nathaniel was distraught.

Mango had not come out, so he knew that it was useless to continue scolding them. He just wished for Mango to be safe for now.

Half an hour later, Mango was pushed out of the emergency room, and Emberly walked out with an exhausted expression.

"Urgh! This was definitely a planned murder as they put a lot of peanut powder in the dishes! If she wasn't in the hospital, no one could've saved her."

"How is she now?"

Nathaniel was very nervous.

"She's fine now. However, her body is quick weak, and she was already wounded when she first came in, so she has to stay in the hospital longer." Nathaniel felt relieved when he heard Emberly's words.

Fortunately, Mango was safe.

Rainie was shivering.

She had always thought that Mango and Nathaniel were happy together with each other. Although she had heard rumours that they were attacked before, she had never witnessed it with her own eyes. Therefore, this incident had traumatised her thoroughly.

How did Mango survive such a life?

"Has Mango always suffered from such things after marrying you?"

Rainie looked at Nathaniel and asked.

Nathaniel did not answer this. In fact, he hadn't fully investigated both attacks that had happened to Mango. However, he could guess who wanted to do this to her.

Rainie never expected Nathaniel to really answer her question too. After asking, she looked at Mango, who was unconscious and said in a low voice, "I'll stay back to take care of her. You can go and settle anything you need to do. However, I hope that you can find the culprit as soon as possible. I'm too worried about her. If she can't even eat a meal without worrying about her safety, how will she live in peace in the future?"

"Got it."

Nathaniel kissed Mango's hand, and he felt a dull pain in his chest.

Rainie knew that she had spoken those words to Nathaniel harshly, but she couldn't control her temper anymore now that Mango was in such a state.

Nathaniel accompanied Mango for a while, but he left before Mango woke up.

Rainie was correct. He had to get rid of the culprit as soon as possible.

He gave Lebanon a call after he went out.

"How long will you need to hand over Gisella to my men?"

"Just a little bit more."

Lebanon knew that Nathaniel wasn't an impatient person, but he became anxious after hearing this call.

"What happened?"

"Mango... was almost killed."

"What?"

Lebanon was in a foul mood.

"Nathaniel, I thought you were a powerful person! How could someone assassinate my sister when she's under your protection?"

"During the first attempt, someone pretended to be a nurse to give Mango an injection, but my men caught her. Not long ago, someone mixed peanut powder into the meal I ordered for Mango." Lebanon understood what Nathaniel was trying to say when he heard those words.

"Mango is allergic to peanuts?"

"That's right."

"How is she now?"

This was what Lebanon cared about the most.

Nathaniel whispered, "She's out of danger, but her body is very weak."

"Have you found out who did this?"

"My men found the delivery girl, Lily, knocked out at the back alley, but there wasn't any surveillance camera there, so it was hard for us to check. However, I think one of Bernard's men probably did this." Hearing Nathaniel's words, Lebanon asked in surprise, "Huh? Does Bernard have a grudge against you?"

"Bernard is Gisella's boyfriend, and Gisella has a grudge against us. Plus, Bernard is the son that my uncle adopted. I won't explain our relationship to you further, but I can tell you that my uncle has a life sentence in prison because of me."

Nathaniel explained his relationship with Bernard in a few simple words.

Lebanon did not say anything.

He knew that a large family like Nathaniel's had a lot of complicated problems.

"I'll get them to hand Gisella over to you as soon as possible. What do you plan to do after you get her?" "I don't know. Well, to be honest, I'm waiting for Mango to decide since she wants to deal with Gisella herself."

Nathaniel irritably lit up a cigarette, but he choked on it and started coughing.

Nathaniel's men came back after he hung up his call with Lebanon.

"Mr. Ye, we have examined all of Mr. Shen's paintings, and we found out that all of them have traces of plagiarism. However, he was careful to plagiarise different details from different artists, so it took a long time to find all the evidence. In fact, we found out that he had combined eleven artists' styles into one painting!"

After listening to this, Nathaniel nodded and said, "Okay, make sure to sort out a colour patella and find all these eleven artists. Get them to sue him jointly, and get the media to expose this too."

"Alright."

The subordinate left after receiving his orders.

Mr. Shen's reputation would be ruined if this was confirmed. In fact, he would even lose a lot of his connections! After all, public figures cared a lot about their images, and they wouldn't recognize a teacher who had plagiarised others' works!

Nathaniel's subordinates worked very effectively.

The news of Mr. Shen plagiarizing paintings erupted all over Twitter in the evening. In fact, the netizens were discussing the similar colour palettes and styles that he had used.

"This is amazing! How could he plagiarise eleven other artists?"

"Urgh! Arsenio is so shameless! He's so old, and I never thought that all of his artworks are actually plagiarized. What was he thinking? Does he think that his audience is blind?"

"As far as I'm concerned, Arsenio has been cheating the world for so many years, and he had earned so much money without integrity. Hah... no wonder his daughter, Gisella, is this cruel! Maybe he was the one who brought her up this way!"

The comment section was filled.

All of them were scolding Arsenio, which was so-called Mr.Shen.

Mrs. Shen nearly fainted.

"What the hell is going on? Who is doing all of this? Why do they want to hurt us like this?"

"It's Mango."

Arsenio lowered his head and said in a low voice. A trace of resentment flashed across his eyes.

"This ungrateful b*tch! We have underestimated her too much." "Mango? How is that possible?"

Mrs. Shen couldn't believe that Mango would do this to them.

Arsenic sneered, "Why is it impossible? Do you think Mango is kind? Hehe, that's because you've never harmed her? Do you think that she will let us go because we raised her? Of course not! We helped Gisella to attack her repeatedly, so she won't let us go this time!"

"no! That won't happen. We have raised Mango since she was a child. She wouldn't do something like this."

Mrs. Shen was still struggling to accept the truth.

Therefore, Arsenio did not argue with her.

Nathaniel would not let go of them even if Mango did not do this. After all, he knew how much Nathaniel loved Mango.

Now that they had attacked Mango ruthlessly because of Gisella, Arsenio could not imagine what Mango would do to them. However, he could not turn back now.

Arsenio called Gisella again, but no one answered.

He could not help but worry.

Did something happen to Gisella?

She would have definitely seen the news already since it was so widely spread in the internet.

What should they do now?

Arsenio suddenly thought of Bernard.

Bernard was Gisella's boyfriend. Although he would not fulfil all of Gisella's wishes, he would still help them because of Gisella.

Arsenio picked up the phone and called Bernard as he thought of this.

"Bernard, I am Gisella's father. I have something to ask you for help."

Arsenio had always been a mentor that others respected, so he always acted high and mighty in front of others. However, now that he was in a situation where he needed to beg others for help, he refused to

be humble, and Bernard was a little upset about this.

"Uncle Shen, what's up?"

Arsenio was displeased when he heard Bernard's curt tone.
