The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)

Novalee softened her tone after she got reproached by Mango.

"Ms. Shen, how would I not need your help? After all, Walter is your friend and he had also helped you a lot, didn't he? You can't possibly leave him when he's in this condition."

Novalee's words caused Mango to laugh out of anger.

"Novalee, don't you think that you are really funny? On one hand, you asked me to get out of Walter's sight and not to have any contact with him. You even told me not to stay in the same place as him. On the other hand, you asked me to deal with Walter's affairs. You're really making me speechless. Besides, who did Walter sacrifice for today? Was it for me? How could you ask me to help Walter? If I were to say something that doesn't seem nice, it would be that Walter had not even told me about the relationship between both of you, so how could you ask me to leave this place now? You don't have the capability yet you're trying to get rid of me. If you're so smart, then don't get Walter into trouble!"

Mango turned around and left after saying all these.

On the other hand, Novalee was furious.

She was so angry that she couldn't say a word for a long time. After Mango left the ward, she threw the vase on the ground and it caused a clear cracking sound.

Mango had even more grudges against Novalee.

On the other side, Nathaniel found that his wallet was with Mango not long after he left, so he went back, but he stunned for a while when he saw Mango sulking on the corridor alone. "What's wrong? Why are you here?"

"I'm so pissed off!"

Mango felt extremely aggrieved when she saw Nathaniel.

"What happened?"

Then, Mango told Nathaniel what Novalee said just now and in a blink of an eye, she found that there was a piece of clothing on the side of the door of the room.

Who else could it be but Novalee?

She actually eavesdropped their conversation from the corner of the wall!

So, Mango said loudly, "Let's not get involved in Walter's affairs as whoever got him into trouble should deal with it herself. I don't want others people to say that I'm thinking of her boyfriend. What are we still doing here since she doesn't even want us to be on this land? Why are you still going to find Bosco? Do you not have anything else to do? Let's go, let's go home! Zion is still waiting for us." Mango pulled Nathaniel's hand and left after she finished speaking.

Novalee suddenly became anxious.

"Ms. Shen, don't go... How is Walter going to cope if you leave?"

"That's ridiculous as he's your boyfriend and his injury has nothing to do with me. Why should I stay here since you hated our interactions? Isn't this what you hope for? Plus, I'm giving you this money to pay for Walter's medical fees and it's not your salary, so don't bother staying in the tourism company too. My small company is no fit for you since you're the Song family's mistress. You can work in Walter's company after he wakes up, but don't worry as I'll pay you your salary for these days and it will be triple the amount. Let's not meet anymore from today onwards."

Then, Mango pulled Nathaniel and left angrily after saying that.

Novalee wanted to catch up with them, but she stopped on second thought.

She looked at the way Mango left and no one could tell what she was thinking.

On the other hand, Mango was so angry that she was about to go crazy.

Her anger had yet to dissipate even when Nathaniel accompanied her out of the hospital and got into the car.

Nathaniel took out a bottle of water and opened it before he passed it to Mango and said, "You don't mean your words, don't you? Are you sure that you don't care about Walter's life?"

"How is that possible? I just think that Novalee is too overbearing as Walter and I have nothing to do with each other and we're just friends. Even if Walter once had feelings for me, he will let go of me since he has decided to be with Novalee. She doesn't even know about Walter at all. Also, how could she so rightfully ask me to do things, but tell me to leave afterward? I am not her dog."

"You've gone too far... If you're a dog, what am I? A male dog?"

Mango laughed instantly after hearing Nathaniel's words.

"Who would call themselves dogs?"

"Didn't you just call yourself a dog?"

Nathaniel touched Mango's head and comforted her, "Don't worry about Novalee as it doesn't matter what she thinks or says. We just have to make sure that we don't let Walter down as we're here for Walter after all, aren't we? They're not married yet and well just stay away from Walter if they ever get married one day. It's no big deal. At most, well show up whenever Walter needs help."

"I understand what you're saying, but Novalee's words are really triggering."

"Are you considering for Walter or Novalee?"

Then, Nathaniel's words calmed Mango down.

She was so angry and she would definitely slap Novalee if she wasn't Walter's girlfriend. However, Walter was willing to sacrifice his life for Novalee now and Mango and Nathaniel owe to Walter, so how could they do anything to Novalee when he was in a coma?

"Forget about it. Let's just pretend that I got bitten by a dog."

"That's right. Will you bite the dog back if the dog bites you? Aren't you afraid that there would be fur in your mouth?"

Mango began to laugh once again.

"Nathaniel, aren't you a noble young master? Why are your words becoming cruder?"

"Everything is fine if it makes my wife laugh. Let's go, my dear wife, well go to Bosco's place."

At that instant, Mango got confused by Nathaniel's

words.

"Didn't you ask me to stay at home? You said that I should be careful."

"I just wanted you to stay and accompany Walter, so I said that deliberately, but why should you still stay here when Novalee is obviously rejecting you?"

"Nathaniel, do you want me to beat you?"

Mango felt depressed as soon as she heard Novalee's name.

"Are you able to beat me?"

"Nathaniel!"

Mango felt that Nathaniel was definitely doing it on purpose.

However, Nathaniel smiled happily when he saw Mango's angry expression.

"Okay, okay, I won't reject you, so be a good girl!"

He patted Mango's head as he spoke.

"Come on! Hurry up and drive!"

Mango pushed Nathaniel's hand away, but she still felt a little uncomfortable.

"I will not argue with Novalee this time for Walter's sake, but I won't care about her identity anymore if she tries to challenge me like that again. I promise that I will take revenge for the grudge between and I won't let myself be wronged like this."

"I know you've been wronged. How about this, we'll choose some jade from Bosco's place and let Walter pay for it?"

Nathaniel suggested.

However, Mango shook her head immediately.

"Why do you think that it's Walter's fault? It's Novalee's fault."

Nathaniel was stunned after listening to what Mango said.

"Do you still owe Novalee her salary?"

"Must it be considered her salary? Well, you just wait and see."

Then, Mango gave a sneaky smile.

Soon, they reached Bosco's house as they were talking.

Bosco was stunned when he heard that Nathaniel and his wife were here.

Bosco didn't expect Nathaniel to find him so quickly as he had just said that he would visit him this morning.

Also, Bosco didn't know Nathaniel at first, but he knew of the person that Nathaniel mentioned. It was Eaves and this person was actually a chief.

He went to check Nathaniel's background in a hurry, only to find out that Nathaniel was an influential person and it would be a great deal to make friends with Nathaniel.

Bosco was now a businessman, so he naturally wanted more business benefits and he knew how wealthy and powerful the Ye Family was.

Also, if he were to compare himself with Nathaniel, he would just be a nobody while Nathaniel could be considered as the king of Ocean City. Bosco hurriedly came out to welcome them in person.

"Mr. Ye, Mrs. Ye, you are here so soon... Why didn't you tell me that you're here? I'll send someone to pick you up."

"No, it's okay as we were just wandering around before we came here."

Nathaniel smiled slightly and he maintained the most basic courtesy that was neither humble nor pushy.

Bosco suddenly felt that his own vibe was no compare to Nathaniel.

Then, he quickly said, "Mrs. Ye, Mr. Ye, please come in and I'll ask someone to make a pot of good jasmine tea for you to enjoy."

However, Mango spoke at this moment.

"Mr. Liu, I am not interested in drinking tea, so perhaps you can do that with my husband. Instead, I am a woman and I am interested in the jades. I heard from my staff, Novalee, that she has an uncle who's involved in the jade business, so I wanted her to bring me here, but it's a pity that she's too busy at that time. Now that we know you are Novalee's uncle, I didn't even have the chance to tell Novalee about this when Nathaniel brought me here. Anyway, are you not going to let me have a look at the jades?"

Mango's words immediately made Bosco paused for a moment.

"Mrs. Ye and Novalee are friends?"

"She's considered my good friend and she's working in my tourism company."

Mango said with a smile.

Then, Bosco's small eyes flickered, but he quickly smiled and said, "Oh, Novalee, she didn't even tell me that she's your good friend. Well, I have two pieces of good jade that just came from Burma. Mrs. Ye, do you want to have a look at them?"

"Sounds good!"

Mango was very interested.

However, Nathaniel stopped her and said, "Look at you, you're totally stunned when it comes to jades. I will buy it for you some other day, alright?"

"I just want to have a look as Novalee said that her uncle's jade couldn't be found anywhere else, so I want to see them."

Mango's voice sounded as if she was wronged.

Then, Bosco quickly said, "Novalee is right and although these two jades aren't very expensive, they are considered priceless, and you can't simply get them from the market. Mrs. Ye, come and take a look. You can take them home if you like them."

"Oh! How can I?"

"It's okay since you're Novalee's boss and good friend."

Bosco was reluctant to do so deep down, but when he thought that his business could grow bigger with the help of Nathaniel, he could only bear the pain of giving away his precious jades.

When Bosco's subordinate took the jades out, Mango chose one just after a glance and she immediately understood why Bosco said that it was priceless.

"Mr. Liu, I can't ask for such a precious thing from you for nothing, but you won't accept it if I give you money, will you?"

Bosco quickly nodded his head after hearing what Mango had said.

"Of course, Mrs. Ye, it's too crude for us to talk about money." "I think so too. How about this, I have a valuable item in Novalee's hands, but I don't know if she's willing to give it to you, though you can try asking her. This precious item that I have is no less valuable than the two jades that you're going to give me!"

Mango sounded very mysterious but it excited Bosco.
