The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)
Chapter 993

Nathaniel let a bitter smile. He had been the one scheming his enemies for years, but now, he had actually fallen into someone else's trap!

He did not bother hiding as the footsteps were getting closer. Instead, he took out a cigarette and lid it.

He had only taken a few puffs of his cigarette when the door opened.

The other party obviously never expect Nathaniel to be here, but the police who followed in the back was more or less stunned.

"Mr. Ye?"

"What's going on?"

Nathaniel still asked this question even though he knew what was happening.

The police whispered, "Someone said there was a murder case here and got us to check it out."

"Alright, go ahead then."

Nathaniel did not say anything anymore.

The police checked on Alfred's breathing and frowned.

"Mr. Ye, urn... I'm really sorry. I'm afraid you have to go with us." "Alright."

Nathaniel was very cooperative.

He said with a wry smile, "Do I need to be handcuffed?"

"There's no need. We know you well, and I'm sure that you won't run away."

After saying this, the police took Nathaniel away.

There were many reporters outside, and they rushed forward when they saw him coming out with the police.

"Mr. Ye, what's going on? Did you have a grudge with the victim?"

"Mr. Ye, when did you come? Was he still alive when you came in?"

The reporters started firing a series of harsh questions at him.

However, Nathaniel just sneered in response.

Alfred was dead just as he went in. Plus, reporters were waiting for him outside now. Thus, he was sure that someone had planned this entire incident carefully.

The police still carried out their duties, and they blocked the reporters from getting close to him.

"Sorry, we haven't found out the truth of this case yet, so we'll not be accepting any interviews for now. Thank you."

The policemen took Nathaniel away just after he said these words.

Mango felt a bit depressed when Nathaniel hadn't returned even though she had waited a long time. When she called him, she found out that his phone was turned off too. Urgh! What was Nathaniel up to now?

Rainie knew what happened to Nathaniel, and she was anxious now.

Would Mango run out impulsively if she knew that something happened to Nathaniel?

Rainie was even bothered when she thought of the wounds of Mango's body.

"What's going on? Are you hiding something from me?"

Mango had known Rainie for such a long time. Thus, she couldn't help but ask when she saw how anxious Rainie was.

"Huh? What are you talking about?"

Rainie tried her best to calm herself down, but she failed to do so. After all, she would think about Nathaniel every time she looked at Mango.

"I'm going out for a bit."

"Where are you going?"

"The toilet."

Rainie ran out after giving Mango a terrible excuse.

Mango didn't think much about it, and she thought that perhaps Rainie had some private problems to deal with. Even if Rainie decided to not tell about it now, she would still find out about it later. Then, she took her laptop and started working.

Her film and entertainment company had been delivering good results lately.

The newbies had gotten some new endorsements and scripts. Although they were not delivering excellent results now, they were already off to a good start in their career.

Then, Mango sent a message to Clarissa.

"Look out for managers recently and hire two if there are suitable ones. I'm afraid you can't handle everything on your own."

"Alright."

Clarissa's reply was clear and quick.

"Ms. Shen, I think that our company is still small, so I don't think experienced managers will choose to work with us. Perhaps we could train one of our new staff to take over the role in the future?" Mango agreed to Clarissa's proposal.

"Okay, it's up to you. You can raise any ideas that you think of, and we can discuss them further."

"Alright."

Clarissa was very grateful that Mango gave her a certain amount of authority.

After that, Mango continued asking Clarissa about some problems that were happening in the company. After all, she decided that they needed to build up her company's brand and reputation for now. That meant that she had to spend a lot of money to sign contract with a popular star.

Mango couldn't help thinking of Lebanon right now.

However, she shook her head immediately at this thought.

It was clear that Lebanon wanted something from her. If she signed a contract with Lebanon now, she would have to face a lot of trouble in the future.

Thus, Mango abandoned this idea at this thought.

Clarissa was hesitant when she knew that Mango wanted to sign a contract with a famous artist.

"Ms. Shen, our company is small, so the famous stars might not come. Besides, we might not be able to afford their pay even if they did."

Clarissa was telling the truth.

Mango sighed slightly after hearing this.

"Well, let's talk about this later."

"Got it."

Clarissa was even grateful when Mango did not reject her opinion.

After all, it was rare for her to meet such an open-minded boss.

Mango wanted to end this conversation after she finished her words. But Clarissa paused for a moment and said, "Ms. Shen, um... I'm not sure whether I should tell you this." "What is it? Go ahead."

Mango thought that it had something to do with the company, so she asked.

Clarissa did not answer her immediately. She paused for a moment, and Mango did not rush her.

Then, Clarissa finally said it after hesitating for about a minute.

"Well... something happened to Mr. Ye."

"Huh?"

Mango asked dismissively. Then, she finally realised that Clarissa was talking about Nathaniel!

Her heart skipped a beat at this thought.

"What happened to him?!"

Mango's eyes sank a little, and her palms became sweaty when she asked this question.

Did something really happen to him since he had not come back for such a long time?

Mango couldn't help but worry. After all, she recalled that Nathaniel rarely turned his phone off, but she couldn't get hold of him now.

When Clarissa heard Mango's anxious tone, she said after a slight pause, "I heard that Mr. Ye was involved in a murder case."

After hearing this, Mango's heart suddenly sank.

"What? A murder case?"

"Yes. A manager died in the cafe opposite the hospital not long ago. Only Mr. Ye was at the scene, so the police took him away. The reporters outside were already broadcasting the news. This issue has affected Mr. Ye negatively, and I'm afraid the stock of HY Group will drop."

After all, Clarissa had been an employee of HY Group previously.

She used to be Nathaniel's staff, so it was totally normal for her to care about HY Group's state. Plus, Nathaniel was Mango's husband not.

Mango furrowed her eyebrows together at this thought.

A murder case?

How could Nathaniel be involved in one?

Mango's eyelids jumped.

This was obviously a trap!

Perhaps someone was trying to scheme against her, and Nathaniel was dragged into this problem because of her too!

After all, her enemies knew that Nathaniel was supporting her. Hence, they could deal with her easily once they had gotten rid of Nathaniel.

Countless thoughts were running in Mango's head now. She then said in a low voice, "What are the board of directors of HY Group planning to do now?" "I'm not sure, but I can ask around."

Clarissa was afraid that Mango would blame her for minding others business at first. However, she became relieved once she heard Mango asking this question. "Call me when you're done."

Mango ended the conversation as soon as she said this.

Her face was upset.

Oh right! She forgot to ask who the dead manager was!

Why did she have an ominous feeling now? When she was thinking about this, Rainie came into the room again. She avoided Mango's gaze and did not dare to look at her.

Mango looked at her and said coldly, "Why are you hiding from me?"

"No... No... I wasn't."

Rainie tried to smile, but her smile was very rigid.

However, Mango didn't have the time to joke around with her.

"So, who died?"

"Ah? What?"

Rainie paused for a moment, but her smile started fading as she started to panic.

Mango did not say anything, and she continued staring at Rainie. Thus, Rainie gave up when she knew that she couldn't take it anymore.

"Argh! Well, alright, I know I can't hide anything away from you. Did you take a look at the news trending on Twitter today?"

Now that Mango couldn't leave the bed, she could get the latest news from her phone. After all, they lived in a world with modern technology, and they could find out everything they wanted through their phone Mango was slightly stunned after this.

She had not checked any of the notifications on her phone since morning!

When she heard what Rainie said, she took her phone and scrolled through Twitter immediately.

Rainie cursed in her heart for being so honest when she saw this. However, it was too late to take back her words now.

Mango looked very upset as she read the news from beginning to the end.

"Mango, I think this is too coincidental."

"You're right. Heh! Someone obviously planned this whole incident out!

Mango sneered before lifting her blanket away when she said this.

"Hey! What are you doing?"

Rainie couldn't help but worry when she saw Mango acting this way.

However, Mango said faintly, "Get a doctor to discharge me from the hospital. I want to go back to Ocean City."

"Huh? Are you crazy? You are so severely injured! What can you do if you go back to Ocean City now?"

Rainie disagreed instantly.

Mango said faintly, "I can do many things. HY Group must be in a mess now, and the stocks will definitely drop tomorrow. The board of directors have always been crafty, and I'm sure that they will take this opportunity to carry out their plans. It's up to me to protect HY Group now that Nathan is not around."

"Look! Stop spouting nonsense! How could you get involved with HY Group's affairs? I know that you're worried for Nathaniel, but you know that you shouldn't make any rash actions now!"

Rainie thought that Mango was spouting nonsense. In fact, she believed that Mango was confused right now because she was too concerned about Nathaniel!

How could Mango interfere with such a big enterprise like HY Group?

Mango looked at her and said slowly, "I have 35 percent of shares in HY Group. Do you still think I don't have the right to take over the company?"

"What?"

Rainie was even more shocked now when she heard this.

She had never expected Mango to possess so many shares!

Mango said faintly, "Nathaniel gave his shares to me, so I should be the executive director of HY Group now. Nathaniel is just the CEO. To put it straight, he's just working for me."

"Oh my god! Your husband gave you all his assets?"

Rainie knew that Nathaniel always treated Mango well, but she never thought that he would pamper her till this extent!

Mango nodded her head and said, "Yes, Nathaniel said that a man would become unfaithful if he had too much money on his hands. He gave all his money to me and decided to work for me. After all, he didn't want to turn into an unfaithful husband, and he didn't want me to worry as well. Haha! He said that I could fire him and leave him with nothing if he ends up having an affair!"

This was what Nathaniel said. However, Mango never thought about financial issues when she found out about Nathaniel and Melissa's relationship.

After all, love and marriage had nothing to do with money at all.

Rainie was still in a state of shock, but Mango couldn't wait any longer. She got out of bed and walked outside instantly.
