The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)

"Miss Novalee, don't try to hide it as Mrs. Ye has said that the gift that she left here is invaluable."

"You believed her nonsense? She didn't give me any precious item at all."

Novalee's brows were tightly knitted together.

"Doesn't Bosco trust me?"

"Uh, I don't know about this, but please come with me if you don't want to pass me the item and you can talk straight to Mr. Liu in person. Otherwise, I can't give him an explanation."

The man's words made Novalee's face look terrible.

"Bosco treats me like his own daughter, so don't blame me for telling Bosco if you dare to harm me. Also, I can't leave because my boyfriend hasn't woken up yet, so you shall go back now and tell Bosco that Mango didn't leave anything with me."

Then, Novalee walked to Walter's bed after saying that.

However, the man snorted coldly and said, "Novalee, do you really think you are an influential figure? Mr. Liu holds so much power, so why would he look after a little girl like you? He wouldn't have given a d*mn about you if it weren't for your parents' sake, so please have some conscience as you're clearly aware of how Mr. Liu has treated you before. I don't mind telling you that Mrs. Ye took two valuable jades from him and it must be true if she said that she left a treasure with you, so you'd better hand them in and don't make things difficult for Mr. Liu."

At that instant, Novalee trembled with anger.

"For my parents' sake? Would he do this to me and treat my boyfriend like that if he really cared about my parents' reputation? Don't think I don't know that the people in the parking lot got their orders from Bosco... Why are you doing this to my boyfriend?"

"I'm not sure about this too, Novalee, you'd better ask Boss Liu in person. Anyway, I'll say it again, hand over the item, or you come with me."

"What if I don't go with you?"

Novalee was stiff-necked and she asked angrily.

Then, the man sneered and said, "It's fine if you don't want to follow me, but I'll have to take you with me forcefully then."

"What are you doing? I warn you, don't mess around with me as my boyfriend is good at fighting! If he wakes up and comes to know that you've touched me, he...ah!"

Novalee stumbled backward, but she couldn't avoid the man's hands and she was still taken away despite her desperate struggles.

On the other hand, Mango received the news almost right after Novalee had been taken away.

"Mrs. Ye, Miss Zhang was taken away by a man, you..."

"What about Walter?"

"There's no one to take care of him."

At that instant, Mango's expression darkened a little.

Bosco guessed that something had happened when he saw Mango's gloomy expression after she received the call.

Then, Mango glanced at Bosco as she said in a low voice, "Hire him a reliable nurse. I'll go back in a moment." "Alright."

Mango gave Bosco a meaningful look after she hung up the call and said, "Mr. Liu, did your men go to look for Novalee?" "No...why would I look for Novalee?"

Bosco denied it immediately.

However, Mango said with a cold smile, "Mr. Liu,

Novalee is one of my subordinates and it's fine if you want the treasure, but don't you dare hurt anyone, if not..."

"Mrs. Ye, you're right, and Novalee is my niece, so how can I hurt her?"

"Oh. What about her boyfriend?"

Bosco paused for a moment when he heard that.

"Mrs. Ye, is her boyfriend your friend?"

"He's my brother."

Nathaniel spoke faintly.

Then, Bosco frowned slightly and said, "I didn't know that. I just wanted him to behave himself and stay away from Novalee as she is very simple-minded."

"I can't tell if Novalee is simple-minded or not, but I know that Walter is rather innocent. Mr. Liu, I won't go easy on the culprit if anything happens to Walter in this place."

Mango said with a smile, but Bosco looked at her gaze and it didn't seem like she was joking at all.

"Well, I will not attack him again since you put the word out."

"Thank you, Mr. Liu. I'll buy the rest of the gambling stones and give them to you no matter what it turns out to be."

Bosco was stunned as soon as Mango finished

her words.

He had seen a forthright person before, but he had never seen someone as generous as Mango.

"Mrs. Ye, is that true?"

"I'll keep my words as long as Walter is fine."

"Fine, fine, I will definitely not target him."

Then, Bosco went to carve the raw stones happily.

Nathaniel shook his head and said, "Why did you give him so much money? Do you really think my money fell from the sky?"

"None of the gems are valuable."

At that instant, Mango's words stunned Nathaniel.

"You can appraise gambling stones?"

"I know a little about it. These raw stones look like old jades, but if you take a closer look at them, you can tell from their color and cracks that they are worth no more than a few pennies. Also, you'll only have an old green emerald at most, so don't worry as I've calculated and these gems cost no more than ten million dollars. Walter will definitely pay us back more than that through business projects to return us the favor."

Suddenly, Nathaniel laughed.

"You are getting better at doing business now!"

"Well, I learn it all from you."

Mango smiled faintly, but there was a hint of worry on her face.

Then, Nathaniel put her onto his lap and asked in a low voice, "Are you worried about Novalee?"

"Why should I worry about her? She should know that I am not a pushover when she provoked me, but she is still Walter's girlfriend after all... I am afraid that Walter will blame me if Bosco really goes too far." Mango was somewhat distressed as she spoke.

However, Nathaniel said with a hint of jealousy, "You have soft spot for me, but for Walter as well? You've never let yourself feel wronged yet you're tolerating Novalee's great disrespect to you for Walter's sake? Why is that?"

"Oh, I just want her to remember it and there's Henry too. Didn't you hire Henry to work in HY group?"

"These are two separate issues."

Nathaniel's face darkened a little.

At that moment, Mango couldn't help but feel a little depressed when she saw that Nathaniel was jealous again.

"Nathaniel, do you have to act like this? I'm just slightly more concerned about Walter and I'm actually also going to the hospital to take care of him now, so I'll just let you be if you keep getting so jealous." Mango stood up and left after saying that.

However, Nathaniel grabbed hold of her.

"Are you really going to leave me alone here? Hmm?"

"If not? You won't come with me to take care of Walter anyway."

Mango turned her head to the side as she spoke in distress.

Nathaniel knew that Mango did it on purpose, but he couldn't bear to see Mango serving Walter alone even so.

He had never been treated like that.

"I'll go while you can stay aside. It's not appropriate for a married woman to take care of another man..."

"Who else would take care of him other than me? Would the great and honorable Mr. Ye take care of him?"

"Mango, that's enough!"

Nathaniel really wanted to shut Mango's mouth up.

At that instant, Mango knew that she should stop, so she hurriedly said, "Alright, alright, I won't serve him and I'll just watch you take care of him aside, okay?"

Nathaniel knew that he had been tricked by Mango, but so what?

He just couldn't stand how Mango treated other men so well.

Then, the two of them said goodbye to Bosco and went straight to the hospital.

Bosco was busy carving the raw stone and he didn't have time to send them off, so he just bid them goodbye.

Mango frowned when she saw his behavior and she said, "How did Walter offend Bosco and why did Bosco beat him so cruelly? Look, Bosco loves money so much and I really won't believe it if you were to say that he's the same as you."

However, Nathaniel didn't say anything as he went out of Nightowl with Mango.

He whispered only after they got in the car, "Maybe it has something to do with the death of Novalee's parents."

"What do you mean?"

Mango was a little surprised.

Then, Nathaniel said in a low voice, "Zion found from the internet a name list of people who were involved in the mission that Novalee's took part in that year. I heard that the mission was a trade with a drug dealer where her parents were supposed to take three million dollars for exchange.

Unfortunately, Novalee's parents were sacrificed in that action and although the drug dealer was captured eventually, he said that he did not receive the three million dollars. Therefore, the superiors have been investigating this matter and Novalee's parents aren't buried in the Mausoleum of Martyrs. This is something that has a great impact on Novalee and Walter triggered Bosco because he wanted to look into this

matter.

"You told Zion to hack..."

Mango was so angry that she almost blurted it out, but she still had some concerns about it.

"Nathaniel, can't you control your son? Something bad will happen sooner or later if things go on like this. As you know, there's always someone better than you, so don't rely on your computer skill and cause trouble all day long. Can't we just live a simple and good life?"

Mango was scared to death.

What kind of place was that?

Zion didn't know how problematic it was to retrieve such encrypted information, but how could Nathaniel not know the danger?

Seeing Mango's anger flaring up, Nathaniel hurriedly comforted her, "It's alright as I've already wiped out all the traces and no one will discover it. Don't worry, I'll look after Zion and not let him do such dangerous things again in the future, okay?"

"What do you mean that it's fine? It's not the first time and I admit that Zion had helped a lot, but can't you solve these problems by yourself as an adult? He's your son and I suffered a lot to give birth to him! I wouldn't know what to do if something happens to him..."

Mango's anxiety caused Nathaniel's heart to ache.

He held her in his arms and said softly, "I'm wrong and it's all my fault, okay? I promise that I'll teach that brat a good lesson in the future."

"Both of you make me feel worried all the time."

Mango's anger slightly dissipated after hearing Nathaniel's words.

Then, Nathaniel said carefully seeing that Mango became calmer, "My queen, can we set out to go to the hospital now?"

Mango was amused by how Nathaniel addressed her and his cautiousness.

"Who's your queen?"

"Oh, you, you're my queen. Don't you see that I've been listening to your lecture obediently the moment you raise your voice?"

Nathaniel's words caused Mango to laugh.

"Cut it out, I don't want to be your queen... I'm exhausted."

"How about I be your prince?" "Nathaniel, let's go!"

Mango glared at Nathaniel in a flirtish manner.

"Yes, madam."

Then, Nathaniel stepped on the accelerator after hearing Mango's order, but it was at this moment that a figure suddenly pounced on the front of Mango's car and Nathaniel had to brake abruptly. The sharp noise of the car tires rubbing against the ground filled the air at that instant.
