The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)

"I don't want it!"

Mango made a gesture to show her frustration, and she ignored whether he understood it or not. She turned around and left after expressing her thoughts.

Nathaniel understood it anyway.

He knew that Mango wasn't interested in his money in the first place and she wouldn't ask for it at all. However, he really didn't know what else to give her. It was as if he didn't have anything else other than money.

"Mango!"

He wanted to catch up with her. Just then, he felt a sudden sharp pain in his head, and he immediately fell to his knees with a thud.

He held his head in excruciating pain and watched as she walked further away from him. The pain that he was experiencing right now was nothing compared to losing her. "Mr. Ye! What happened?"

The bodyguards hurried forward while he was enduring the headache.

Suddenly, he hit his head against the wall. All of his emotions surged up in an instant and it was like a demon that hurt him horribly.

However, an ending like this was in fact good.

Maybe it was a good thing that Mango divorced him. At least she wouldn't find out about his situation right now. Maybe if he really died one day, she wouldn't be in grief or sorrow either. Although he comforted himself with these excuses, the heart-wrenching pain was killing him slowly.

Seeing him like this, the bodyguard hurried to call the doctor.

Meanwhile, Mango didn't dare to look back nor turn back. Since she had decided on divorce, she didn't want to be involved with him anymore.

She didn't notice his painful expression at all, nor did she witness the scene where he hit himself against the wall.

Just as she walked out of the hospital, she met a person at the exit.

It was Emory Li, the salesgirl whom she met at the Carnucopia Mall last time.

When she saw Mango coming out, she quickly went up to her and knelt in front of her.

"Madam, I'm sorry for judging you by your appearance. Please, don't fire me. I have a family to take care of, and I really can't give up this job. Please, I beg of you..." Emory knelt with her head touching the ground as she spoke.

Mango was stunned.

What was going on?

"Get up quickly!"

It was only then she realised that she couldn't speak at all.

She was still unable to face the fact that she was mute. She would subconsciously try to speak whenever she was anxious, only to realize that others could not hear her at all.

Just then, a crowd of onlookers gathered around and whispered to one another.

"What's going on?"

"I don't know. What on earth does this woman want to do to her?"

"I know right, she has already knelt, and still that woman doesn't say anything. What's wrong with her?"

Upon hearing the discussions of the surrounding people, she felt really helpless.

It wasn't that she didn't want Emory to get up, it was just that she couldn't speak at all.

Seeing that the surrounding people were on her side, Emory pretended to cry even harder.

"Madam, I know it's my fault for what happened last time. You can scold or hit me, but please don't let the manager fire me. I need to take care of my handicapped brother at home. Without this job, our family will suffer. Madam, I'm sorry, it's all my fault. Please forgive me."

She cried even more miserably, and she even held Mango's legs with both hands to stop her from leaving.

Mango felt a little helpless. Just as she looked down at her, she happened to see the sly expression on Emory's face.

She instantly understood what was going on.

Emory was deliberately putting on an act for others to see.

When Mango thought of how she'd fallen so far from grace that a salesgirl could bully her, anger thrummed through her veins like lava.

If she remembered it correctly, the Carnucopia Mall now belonged to her, right?

Mango looked at Emory coldly and directly grabbed her shoulders from behind.

Emory was taken by surprise. Although she didn't know what Mango was trying to do, she still continued to put on her act. She cried and said,

"Madam, just hit me as you like. I just want to keep my job."

A hint of coldness flashed across Mango's eyes.

This woman was so incorrigible!

Since she couldn't speak, therefore she took action instead.

With a twist, Mango flung Emory away.

"Ah!"

Caught off guard, Emory was thrown out immediately. She fell to the ground head-on, and two of her teeth were knocked out while blood flowed instantly. "How could you hit me?"

Emory leaped up from her feet immediately and pointed at Mango, while scolding her angrily.

Soon, the onlookers surrounded Mango in no time.

"What's wrong with you? Why did you do that? You're a savage."

"That's right. Why are you bullying people like that? Don't even think of walking away!"

"Call the police! Hurry up!"

The surrounding people shouted and trapped Mango in the centre.

Mango felt even more depressed and frustrated since she couldn't defend herself.

Meanwhile, the bodyguards of the Ye family witnessed the scene and immediately rushed forward to help, and some even ran over and reported it to Nathaniel.

Nathaniel's headache was pushing him to have a meltdown. When he heard that something had happened to Mango, he hurriedly forced himself up and stood on his own two feet.

Cold sweat soaked through his entire body, and even his hair was drenched.

His face was pale, but his gaze was terribly gloomy.

"Hand me my coat."

"Mr. Ye, you will catch a cold if you go out like this."

The bodyguard looked at him with concern.

Nathaniel, however, didn't seem to hear it and repeated himself again. "Give me the coat."

The bodyguards had no choice but to hand the coat to him immediately.

However, the throbbing pain in his head hadn't subsided at all.

He gritted his teeth and struggled to put on his coat before heading out.

Just then, Mango was stuck in the crowd.

She almost wanted to start a fight, but there were too many people against her. Besides, Zion was still in the hospital. Therefore, she didn't want to make a big fuss out of it. However, Emory was determined to stir up trouble.

"Madam, I have apologized and even knelt down in front of you, but you beat me up. What are you trying to do?"

Hearing this, the surrounding people were filled with indignation, and they looked as if they were about to attack Mango.

At this moment, Nathaniel rushed forward and beat them off individually.

"Oh my!"

"Who is this?!"

People were screaming all around.

Just then, Mango suddenly spotted a break in the crowd, and she could feel a pair of familiar and warm hands grabbing her own tightly.

"Get lost!"

Nathaniel's voice was as cold as ice, and he glared fiercely at the surrounding people.

Meanwhile, those people were terrified upon seeing his sharp gaze.

Emory, on the other hand, was stunned by Nathaniel's appearance. She fixed her eyes on him like a fangirl. When she noticed Nathaniel holding Mango by the hand, she suddenly came back to her senses. "Hey, handsome, you can't take her away. She beat me up! Look at me, my teeth have been knocked out by her."

She quickly stopped in front of Nathaniel.

However, Nathaniel did not even look at her and gave her a punch in the face.

Emory cried out in pain and covered her nose, and two more teeth were falling out of her mouth.

Nathaniel looked around coldly and said, "You useless idiots have no idea, do you? Are you guys satisfied with bullying a disabled person?"

"What do you mean?"

"What kind of disabled person?"

Finally, someone understood his words.

Nathaniel took out his mobile phone from his pocket and clicked on a video immediately.

The video of how Emory bullied Mango was displayed to the public eye.

Nathaniel said coldly, "I don't like to explain, but it's best for me to talk to everyone about today's matter. This woman is a salesgirl from Carnucopia Mall. She took advantage of this customer here because she couldn't speak, and so she maliciously slandered her. After this issue was discovered by her supervisor, she was told to resign immediately. However, instead of doing so, she put the blame on the customer. Today, she came here to put on an act for everyone to see in order to humiliate the customer publicly. She knew that the woman can't speak, but she still acted so aggressively. You guys did the same too, right? It doesn't matter. I have already taken a video of what happened just now. I will upload it to the Internet, and let your families witness how you bullied a mute woman."

As soon as he finished speaking, the people around immediately made way for Mango, and some even cursed out at Emory.

"She's a b*tch. She bullied others and pretended to be the victim. Why is she so abominable?"

"I think she really deserves a beating!"

"Did you guys see that? Just now, when she was holding on to the customer's thigh, she trembled a little. Who knows if she'd secretly pinched or injured the customer?"

With Nathaniel's proof, the people around who had helped Emory a moment ago had started to turn their backs on her.

Seeing this, Emory was extremely furious.

"Don't listen to him! He's falsely accusing me!"

Nathaniel looked at her as if he was looking at a court jester before he pulled Mango away. However, when he passed by Emorly, he whispered coldly, "I forgot to tell you something. The woman you bullied just now is the chairman of Carnucopia Mall. I originally wanted you to resign on your own, but now you have to take on other responsibilities instead."

Upon finishing his words, he pulled Mango with him and left.

Hearing this, Emory was stunned.

She didn't believe it and called her friend.

"Dear, is the owner of the Carnucopia Mall a woman?"

"Yeah, I think so. Just now, the manager came over and said that someone bought the mall, and the other party seems to be a woman."

Hearing this, the phone in her hand immediately slipped to the ground, and she tumbled down with a blank stare in her eyes.

She was doomed!

When she was persuaded by the manager to resign, she thought that it was because they had discovered what happened with Mango. However, she had been working in the Carnucopia Mall for so many years and she had never made any major mistakes. Since she had only treated Mango this way, therefore she was certain that Mango was the one who complained about her. As such, Emory decided to take revenge on her.

Today, she finally saw Mango appearing at the hospital near her house. She had planned to have her surrounded by the crowd, so she acted to gain their sympathy. However, who would have thought that she would actually offend the boss of the Carnucopia Mall?

Meanwhile, Nathaniel couldn't care less about Emory's situation. He immediately brought Mango to the nearby parking lot and opened the car door. Then, he forced her into the car and locked it.
