The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)

Mango looked at Victoria in disbelief and she felt that it was pointless to say anything more. Mrs. Fang's distorted way of thinking had totally blown her mind.

Mrs. Fang seemed to have vented all of her resentment on Mango. It was as if her daughter had died because of Mango's existence.

When she saw that Mango was no longer speaking, she quickly stepped forward and grabbed Mango's collar fiercely, "Since you've entered this place, the only way for you to leave here is through death. If we have our way to let Desmond extend Marissa's life, we will also have a way to make you die here."

"If I die now, I'm afraid Isla will not let you go."

Mango said calmly.

Mrs. Fang couldn't help but tremble when she heard that and it seemed that she was very afraid ofIsla.

Then, Mango sneered, "You can't even protect your own child, so what right do you have to yell at me? You don't even have the qualifications to be a mother! If you can't provide her with a good life, then why did you have to give birth to her? Why couldn't you protect her? So what if Isla wanted her to die? So what if she wanted to pursue her own happiness with Desmond? If I were you, I would do anything to save her instead of killing her. Do you know how sad Marissa had been back then? And how much pain she had suffered? All of these happened for the sake of her selfish parents!"

She pushed Mrs. Fang away.

Mrs. Fang fell to the ground and cried her eyes out while she looked at Marissa's dead body.

However, Mango was not sympathetic towards her.

How could a mother kill her own child?

Mango would never forgive Mrs. Fang even if she were to beg for forgiveness using her own death.

Meanwhile, Isla happened to be standing outside the door. When she heard Mango say this, she couldn't help but clap her hands.

"Good, very good! Since you're willing to risk your life for your daughter, will you be able to marry Abyss if I asked you to? After all, this could be an easier option for you compared to risking your life." Mrs. Fang's face turned pale when she heard Isla s voice.

She shivered and quickly shut her mouth. She stood by the side like a servant and she did not dare to make a sound.

Isla looked at Mrs. Fang's gauntly appearance and said discontentedly, "Yet you are still the wife of Professor Fang. You are no different from an outsider. Such a shame! Get out of here and go back to your room! If I ever see you here again, I would get rid of Marissa's dead body."

"No... no, please don't! I'm leaving right now! I promise I'll never come again!"

Mrs. Fang was so scared that her face turned pale.

She took a final glance at Marissa's body and left without looking back.

Although Mango had no idea how Isla was able to control Mrs. Fang to this extent, she really despised that old woman.

"I can marry Abyss, but I want to see Desmond."

"You don't have the rights to negotiate with me!"

Isla said coldly and she did not give Mango any chances at all.

However, Mango smiled coldly and said, "Is that so? Are you sure? Do you really think that no one else knows what you've done? If I can't see Desmond, I will not marry Abyss. What's more, I will also expose the misdeeds that you and the Fang family had done to the public."

"What makes you think that you're far more superior than me?"

"I'm not that capable, but I have a husband that loves me dearly and an extremely smart son. Do you really think that I'm going to be trampled upon by you just like that? You seem to have forgotten that Nathaniel and Zion are both computer geniuses. They have recorded everything that you've said since I entered the Fang family. If I don't see Desmond, these videos will be released online within a minute. At that time, all the members of your Fang family will be exposed. Try me if you dare."

Mango took out a necklace from her collar while she spoke. Then, Islas expression immediately turned ugly after she noticed the pinhole camera on the necklace. "D*mn it!"

Mango knew that risking something was the only way to save Desmond.

Nathaniel gave her this necklace so that he could keep track of her whereabouts. However, Nathaniel had yet to plan an attack after a night had passed, and this just proved the exceptional quality of the Fang family's security system.

In this case, how could she allow Nathaniel to risk his life for her? Instead of doing so, she would rather save Desmond first. Even if she really died here, she still wanted to give Desmond a chance of survival because she owed it to him.

Meanwhile, Isla was aggrieved and displeased. At this moment, she knew that Nathaniel was really well-prepared to attack her since Mango was willing to show her the necklace.

Isla was too careless!

She didn't expect them to have the guts to go against her.

Isla took a few deep breaths and said angrily, "Well, I'll let you meet Desmond, but do you really think that you can save him? You can't even protect yourself right now, so what else can you do? You're too naive."

"That's none of your business. I just want to see Desmond."

Mango's words were so resolute that there was no room for negotiation.

Although Isla was reluctant, she still asked someone to take Mango to see Desmond.

Mango finally let out a sigh of relief.

She looked at the pinhole camera in her necklace and smiled bitterly. She knew that Nathaniel must have been insanely worried for her, but she could only deal with it one step at a time.

Meanwhile, Isla asked someone to snatch away the necklace in Mango's hand, but the latter took a step back and said, "I'll give it to you after I meet Desmond. Don't try to snatch it away forcefully. Otherwise, Nathaniel might expose the video online. Do you think we will act recklessly without thorough investigation?"

"Mango Shen, you're really something!"

Isla gritted her teeth as she spoke as if she couldn't wait to tear Mango apart.

Mango smiled and said, "If you don't believe me, we can just wait and see."

"Get lost!"

Isla was trembling with anger.

On the other hand, Mango was smiling very happily.

She followed the bodyguards out of the room.

When the sun shone on her, she finally felt as if she had come back to life.

It was so cold in the room and she was afraid that she would lose her baby if she stayed there any longer.

She took a deep breath and followed the bodyguards to the back of the rockery. There was a hidden secret door in there. She wouldn't have noticed it if it weren't for the bodyguard that was leading the way. She deliberately took out the necklace so that Nathaniel could see it clearly.

On the other hand, Nathaniel was extremely anxious after he found out about Mango's decision. He knew what Mango was going to do.

He squinted and recorded everything in the camera as he recorded the details in his notebook.

Mango knew that the signal would be interrupted once she entered the hidden pathway. And this was why Isla allowed her to take the necklace along.

From the moment she entered the place, she was determined to face the challenges all alone.

Mango held the necklace tightly in her hand as if she could only feel Nathaniel's presence this way.

She was not afraid, but she felt a little lonely.

When the bodyguard saw that Mango had stopped in her tracks, he said coldly, "Hurry up. We don't want to make things difficult for you, so don't make trouble for us either. There are surveillance cameras here, so our duty is to watch over you."

Mango paused for a moment before she continued to walk along the pathway.

After she entered the hidden place, it was so dark that she couldn't see clearly anymore.

She subconsciously closed her eyes for a while, only to find that someone was approaching her.

Then, she immediately lifted her foot and kicked the person.

Suddenly, the sound of heavy objects falling on the ground attracted everyone's attention.

"Who is it?"

"It's me!"

A stuffy voice rang out.

Mango could tell that it was the man who threatened her outside the door last night.

Perhaps Isla had instructed him to snatch the necklace while Mango was distracted. Unfortunately, Mango was well-prepared for it.

"Don't try to snatch it from me, or the video will be uploaded immediately."

Mango's words made the other party silent. It was obvious that Isla could hear it as well.

She heard Isla's cold snort before everything returned to calmness.

Her eyes finally adapted to the darkness.

She lifted her leg and continued to walk forward.

"Where is Desmond? Don't try to fool me, otherwise..."

"Take her there."

There was only silence after Isla's voice rang out and Mango knew that the electric current had been disconnected.

It seemed that Isla was really angry.

Mango became even happier because of this.

She grinned happily and followed the bodyguards.

After a long journey, they finally arrived at an empty space.

It was an open space filled with a lot of medical equipment and instruments.

Mango noticed that a person was soaked in a glass container.

It was a person, right?

The water in the glass had been dyed red by blood, and the person was curled up like a baby. His limbs were attached to catheters and it seemed like he couldn't move at all. Although it was difficult to see clearly, Mango knew that the person inside was Desmond!

They actually regarded Desmond as an experimental subject. They locked Desmond up in a glass container that was filled with electric current.

"What do you think? Are you satisfied with everything that you've seen?"

Isla's voice resounded again with a hint of pride.

Mango was so furious that she was about to blow up.

"Isla Fang! Let him go!"

"How is that possible!? But since you want to see him, why don't I ask him to wake up and greet you?"

Isla beamed brightly, and the switch was suddenly pulled open.

"No!"

Mango wanted to stop her, but it was too late.

"Ah!"

A scream resounded from the container, and Desmond's beautiful face instantly appeared in front of Mango.

His face was badly mutilated by knives. The electric current was running wildly in his body, and his blue-coloured blood vessels were trembling.

Mango felt as it her world had fell apart.

What if Marissa was still alive to witness how Desmond had suffered? What would she do?

"Stop! Isla, stop! If you don't stop, I will ask Nathaniel to send the video right now!" Mango had no choice but to threaten Isla, but Isla didn't give a d*mn about it at all.
