The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)

Meanwhile, the car kept driving in the intended direction.

When Mango woke up, she was in an unfamiliar room.

She looked around and found that she was not monitored by others and she was safe and sound. Then, she sat up.

The events before she passed out appeared in front of her.

Mango frowned slightly and a trace of doubt flashed through her mind.

Wasn't Hadley one of Boston's people?

Could it be that all of this was just a conspiracy?

Or was it Hadley the one that wanted to bring her to Boston?

But if she was going to meet Boston, why did he do it so secretly? Besides that, why couldn't he tell her directly instead of knocking her unconscious?

A series of questions continuously flashed across Mango's mind.

She got up and stretched. Then, she realized other than the items that she had brought out from Genevieve's house wasn't by her side, everything was still in place.

Mango couldn't understand Hadley's actions, so she opened the door and walked out.

This was a bungalow which was built near the coastal area, but there weren't many people around.

When she walked out of the room, she realized that there were bodyguards outside. Furthermore, there were quite a few of them and it would be difficult to fight with them on her own.

Next, she frowned even more.

At this moment, Hadley came in.

"Mrs. Ye, are you awake?"

"Hadley, what do you mean by this?"

Mango had a very unpleasant expression on her face.

Since the time she got sick, she seemed to have always been on the defensive. Whether it was Nathaniel or Hadley, they could easily take her down.

She hated the weak state she was in and the feeling of being passive. Moreover, she felt insecure about being controlled by others.

If she could not even protect herself, could she really protect her children and the Ye family?

On the other hand, Hadley seemed to know that

Mango would be angry, so he smiled and said, "Mrs. Ye, I don't have any bad intentions towards you. Don't be too nervous."

"Is that so? Did you bring me here without any ulterior motives? What the hell are you trying to do? Tell me now. If we can reach an agreement, then we can continue our conversation. If not, then just leave, there is really no need for this."

"I'm afraid you can't. Mrs. Ye, you have to stay here during this period and you can't go anywhere. You can rest assured that I will take good care of your food and accommodation, and I will try my best to meet all your requirements, but if you want to leave, you can't."

His words made Mango a little angry.

"Is this your idea or Boston's idea?"

"Mrs. Ye, don't ask any more questions as you will understand everything later. I know that you are not in good health, so I have already gotten the medicine for you. You can rest assured that I won't hurt you." Hadley then placed the medicine on the table.

Mango looked at it and it was indeed the medicine that Genevieve had prescribed for her, but she didn't want to eat it at all right now.

"I want to see Boston." I'm sorry, Mrs. Ye. I don't call the shots."

Hadley said apologetically.

Meanwhile, Mango was extremely anxious.

Something had happened to Walter, while Nathaniel's life hung in the balance. Furthermore, both their whereabouts were unknown. Besides that, Merle seemed to have changed into another person as he shot her. The series of events was weird, but she could not stay here waiting to die or just waiting for someone to tell her something.

"Then, what can you decide on?"

Mango was neither arrogant nor rash, but she stared coldly at Hadley.

In fact, he couldn't figure out what Mango was thinking, so he couldn't help but say: "As long as it's regarding your meals and accommodation, I can still make decisions about it."

"Then you can go. I don't want to see you now."

After Mango finished speaking, she turned her face away.

Hadley looked a little awkward, but he did not say anything and left straight away.

However, Mango didn't expect him to be so obedient and she frowned.

When she was left alone in the room again, Mango looked around. There were no cameras installed here, but after leaving the room, she could see surveillance cameras all around. It meant that other than her room, this place was under full surveillance.

Mango didn't know if she had to thank Hadley for his respect towards her privacy, but she felt extremely aggrieved.

Her condition did not allow her to stay here for too long.

Furthermore, it seemed unlikely that she could regain her full health. However, it was not her style to wait for news or rescue here. What was her next step then?

Mango was very anxious.

Then, the morning passed quickly.

When Genevieve woke up, she realized that Mango had disappeared. She was extremely anxious and instructed her people to search for news of Mango. When she found out that she had left Ocean City, her heart was filled with agony, and she quickly called Noah.

After Noah discovered Mango's condition, he sent people to search the place where Nathaniel went missing. However, they still could not find Mango, so he had no choice but to tell Terrance that Mango was missing.

Of course, Terrance was equally anxious and ordered his men to look for Mango.

For a moment, the entire Ocean City once again descended into a state of anxiety due to Mango's disappearance. Unfortunately, Mango didn't know about all of this.

She was trapped here like a bird in a cage and was extremely panicked, but no one came to say anything to her.

Hence, Mango knew that she could not go on like this.

Judging from the situation, she had no choice but to sneak her way out.

Hence, Mango purposely broke a cup as she screamed and fainted.

Next, Hadley rushed over when he knew that Mango had fainted.

"What's going on? Didn't I ask you to take good care of her?"

Hadley was very angry and didn't look like the yes-man he was earlier in front of Mango.

The bodyguards didn't know what to reply because he had commanded that they were forbidden to go near Mango. However, now that something had happened to her, they couldn't say anything despite not having anything to do with it.

Seeing that the bodyguards were speechless, Hadley changed his expression and said, "Go and call the personal doctor."

"I'm afraid that he won't be able to deal with Mrs. Ye's condition now."

Seeing Mango's ashen face, the bodyguards couldn't help but express worry for her.

Hadley also frowned and said, "Just have them take a look first since we can't get Mrs. Ye out. If something happens, it will be us on the chopping block. As long as she's fine, everything will be okay." Mango listened silently but she kept a straight face as she had no idea who these people were, or why they treated her this way.

Then, the bodyguards quickly went out to call the doctor.

As Mango pondered about taking advantage of this opportunity to force Hadley to let her out, someone attacked him from behind.

So, Hadley, who was vulnerable and delicate looking, was in fact an ace. He immediately struck back at the attacker and he fainted.

The sound of the fighting caught the bodyguards' attention.

However, Hadley said indifferently, "I bet he is one of Nick's men, so get him out. Strengthen the perimeter. We can't let any of his men enter and hurt Mrs. Ye." "Yes sir!"

The bodyguards left instantly.

On the other hand, Mango was frightened deep down her heart.

No one ever thought that Hadley was such a strong man.

If she was the one that attacked him just now, she would have no chance of winning at all. However, he didn't seem to be one of Nick's men from what he said, so who was he? Was Boston really Nathaniel's ally?

All these doubts would only have their answers if Nathaniel was found.

Hence, Mango continued to pretend to be unconscious without emitting any sound.

Hadley looked at her and hesitated for a moment. In the end, he carried her onto the bed.

The doctor arrived very quickly and he was slightly taken aback when he saw Mango.

"Mrs. Ye?"

"Yes, please help her."

Hadley nodded his head towards him.

The doctor looked at Mango and said, "You guys should leave first. I'll have a look as to how to treat her."

Hadley did not say anything and left the room.

When there were only both of them left in the room, Mango suddenly grabbed the doctor's wrist so forcefully that he could not move.

The doctor was shocked, but he pretended to be calm and said, "Mrs. Ye, what are you doing?"

"You don't have to worry about that. I just want you to get me out of here."

Mango's face was dripping with cold sweat.

She wasn't completely pretending because she truly didn't feel comfortable. Otherwise, she wouldn't act like this, but now she couldn't care less and just wanted to leave as soon as possible.

The doctor paused for a while and said, "You can't leave, and I can't get you out either. There are bodyguards outside and I'm not strong enough to get you out on my own, so I advise you to stay here. Besides your health seems to be bad, if you are not treated, I'm afraid..."

"Cut the crap, I just want to get out of here now. You'd better come up with a good idea, or I don't mind killing you."

"Mrs. Ye, Hadley is not dumb. Do you think he will stand by while you attack me?"

On the contrary, the doctor wasn't worried at all.

Mango smiled coldly and drew out a dagger from her sleeve before she pressed it against the doctor's neck.

"Well, you can observe whether his fists are faster than my dagger."

The light reflected by the dagger was chilling, and the doctor was stunned because he didn't expect the seemingly weak Mango to be so straightforward. For a moment, he panicked. "Mrs. Ye, you should know that I am just a doctor."

"Right now, I'm not interested in your identity or your profession. I just want to leave this place. Don't make me repeat this sentence again, otherwise, I really don't know what I'll do." Mango was now full of murderous intent.

She was very anxious because she had been delayed here the whole morning. Moreover, she had no idea about how Nathaniel and Walter were doing. If she continued staying here, she would see them in the morgue.

Seeing that the doctor was still hesitating, Mango's hands moved and made the doctor's neck bleed, leaving him in pain.

Fear gripped the doctor's heart immediately.

"I can't get you out, but I can find a way to get you out of here."

"How?"

Mango asked indifferently, but she had already made plans for the worst in her heart.

This doctor was likely to trick her, but she had to try somehow.

When the doctor heard Mango's question, he couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief as long as Mango was willing to talk to him.

As he spoke, he took something out from the medicine box he carried with him.
