The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)

"Miscarriage?"

Nathaniel asked word by word. There was a hint of coldness in his voice, as if it could freeze anyone near him.

Mango was so frightened that she broke out in a cold sweat.

"Nathan, don't do that!"

She really felt that Brantley had a death wish.

"Grandfather, stop fooling around!"

Mango was really afraid that Nathaniel's reckless temper would hurt Brantley.

The cold dagger was against his chin, but Brantley was a little gratified.

"It seems that you are much better than your father-in-law. I won't tease you anymore since you care so much about my niece. She is fine. I will let her go home with you as long as you withdraw Islas accusation. Otherwise, I will get her to stay here with me for the rest of my life. I don't believe that you will dare to break in again."

Brantley's words made Nathaniel frown tightly.

"You want me to release Isla?"

"Yes. You're so young. Don't you have good hearing?"

Brantley's waist was still faintly painful and now he was being threatened. His tone of voice couldn't have been good.

Nathaniel narrowed his eyes and looked at Mango again. Brantley didn't ask his men to close the door, and the people outside could see everything clearly. However, the people outside couldn't hear what they were saying.

Where am this?

This was the military compound!

Even if he forced his way in with his men, those reporters and onlookers couldn't have followed them in.

Although Nathaniel was not the wisest, he still understood some things after living for so many years. He had guessed something when he saw that Mango was in good condition and the man that held Mango's throat did not exert too much strength.

"Well, it's just Isla, isn't it? I'll let her go, but I have to take Mango away first."

"That won't do. What should I do if you don't fulfil your promise after taking her away? It took me so much effort to get her here. I can't waste all my previous effort. Nathaniel, I will let her go after you get things done."

Brantley's words made Nathaniel's eyes become colder.

"I will never let you go if my woman is even slightly hurt."

Brantley hadn't been threatened many times in his life and even the Hans family didn't dare to talk to him like this. He didn't expect Nathaniel to talk like this.

He was so furious that he turned around and said to Mango, "You've found yourself such a good husband. Now go back to your room!"

"Grandfather!"

Mango felt that she was the most innocent one of all.

She also did not ask her grandfather to act in this manner.

Nathaniel looked at Mango with a trace of tenderness in his eyes.

"Stay here and wait for me to pick you up."

"Alright. Help me properly settle Ling'er down. By the way, how's Thomas doing?"

Mango thought of this and asked.

"He's fine. His head has been wounded a little, but he'll be fine after a rest. I'll take good care of Rainie for you. Don't worry. Wait for me and I'll be

back soon."

After saying that, Nathaniel turned to look at Brantley and said coldly, "Take good care of Mango. I will be back soon."

"Well talk about this later after you get your things done."

Brantley waved his hand directly and Nathaniel put the dagger away.

Then. Nathaniel looked at Mango once more before turning back and walking out.

Mango felt a little sad as she looked at Nathaniel's back.

"Nathan, don't do it if you're in a dilemma. Don't do it for me..."

"I am willing to go against the world for you."

Nathaniel didn't look back, but his words could be heard by Mango, which made her eyes suddenly turn teary.

She didn't know if this sentence was deliberately said for others to hear, or it was only for her. She only knew that her heart was a mess at the moment and she was overflowing with emotions. It filled her heart with warmth.

"That's pretentious! Anyone can say words like that. Well only know if they mean it after they have taken action."

Brantley retorted in a very disdainful way.

Mango ignored him and watched Nathaniel disappear from the Xiao family's door. She said in a low voice, "Grandfather, he isn't a fool. Aren't you being a little too obvious?"

"It doesn't matter as long as my goal is achieved. You can go back and rest. By the way, I heard that you have participated in the design competition? There were not many days left till the preliminary contest. You'd better calm yourself down and work hard on your design during this period of time that you're here with me. I've asked people to bring your laptop here. Go to your room to get your work done. Remembe to take breaks between working too."

Brantley's words stunned Mango.

"Grandpa, do you mean that I have to stay here for a long time?"

"Why not? I'm just a lonely old man. Shouldn't you be accompanying me?"

Brantley spoke in a confident and self-righteous manner, but it made Mango laugh in anger.

"Nathan will come back soon. His temper..."

"Won't his anger mellow down after you console him? How can he ignore it if you say that you want to stay here with me?" "But I didn't say I wanted to stay!"

Mango didn't give in to him at all.

But Brantley said rascally, "I don't care. Anyway, this is my home. I have the final say."

Mango was at a loss for words when she saw how shameless Brantley was.

"Aren't you afraid that Nathaniel will tear down your family? You can continue to be unreasonable."

After saying this, she pushed away from the man beside her and said coldly, "You'd better find a place to hide. I'm afraid that my husband will come back and cut off your hands."

After that, she got up and went back to her room.

The man felt a little ashamed.

However, Brantley touched his chin and began to think about this problem seriously.

"She's right. You'd better find a place to hide and come back after that brat, Nathaniel, calms down."

"Sir, I..."

"Oh my, my waist!"

Brantley covered his waist and entered his room without listening to the explanation of the other party.

When Nathaniel came out again, he saw a lot of people outside and he said coldly, "Everyone disperse! What are you doing here? Don't you know where this place is? There were terrorists in Brantley's house just now. I have no time to show my evidence of entry and exit, so I just broke in. Don't write anything if you don't know what's happening, or else the consequences will be serious."

Nobody believed what Nathaniel had said.

At this moment, Noah walked in with the proof of entry and exit.

"The proof of entry and exit has been approved."

Noah blinked at Nathaniel and handed the proof of entry and exit to the latter.

Nathaniel did not say anything either. As a result, he threw the proof of entry and exit to the guard beside him. Just like when he came, he took his men and drove out again.

When other people saw that Nathaniel had gone, they naturally did not dare to stay any longer, but what happened here had still been spread out.

Mango also returned to her room after Nathaniel left. She knew that Brantley had achieved what he wanted, but she did not know what kind of effect it would have.

"I don't know if Nathaniel has noticed it."

Mango was worried in her heart.

Haniya gave Mango some food and said in a somewhat angry tone, "Madam, is Brantley really your grandfather? Why is he so unreasonable? He insisted that I prepare him some lunch after I said that I've already made nutritious meals for you. I'm not their nanny."

Mango paused for a moment before saying with a smile, "So what? We're his hostages now."

"I heard that Mr. Ye came here in a particularly domineering manner. Mr. Ye would have taken you back by now if it weren't for the fact that he was afraid that you would get hurt. This old man is really problematic. He lived in vain for such an old age, but he is still so harsh on his granddaughter."

Haniya rambled on. She was obviously very dissatisfied with Brantley.

However, Mango's mind drifted elsewhere.

Nathaniel was so smart that he should be able to understand her grandfather's trap, right? Thomas is fine, and it was just that they couldn't see Rainie anymore. However, the person she was thinking about now was Queena.

What was she doing now?

Mango couldn't sit still any longer after she thought about this.

She stood up all of a sudden and Haniya got frightened by that.

"Madam, what's wrong?"

"I'm going to find Grandpa."

Mango left the room after saying that.

Haniya was afraid that something would happen to Mango. Although she was a little scared, she still followed behind Mango and left.

Brantley was making a phone call when he saw Mango coming over. He said, "Let's talk about it later. I have a guest here."

"Guest?"

Mango frowned slightly.

They were family, weren't they?

When did she become a guest?

Who was Brantley calling?

"Could it be that someone else had set the trap and Brantley wasn't the culprit?"

Mango's brain was filled with thoughts.

"What's wrong? Why don't you have a good rest? What are you doing out here? Your computer will arrive soon. Don't worry. I have inquired about it. You basically have no problem with the preliminary contest this time and the other participants are much worse compared to you."

"Grandpa, I want to see my mother right now."

Mango interrupted Brantley's words and the request caused him to pause for a moment. His expression was a little unsightly.

"I will let you see her when this matter is over."

"As I said, I want to see her now and I can make a video call to her even if I can't fly over. I just want to know how she is now and how she is doing."

Brantley didn't like Mango's stubbornness at all.

"She's my daughter. What can I do to her? Everything else is good apart from me limiting her freedom. Don't worry, it's not the time for you to meet each other yet."

"Then when can we meet? Grandpa, I want to know what Bettany is doing when you put my mother under house arrest. She is a doctor, not a nanny. You can't tell me that she stayed there to take care of my mother, right?"

This was a problem that Mango had never been able to understand.

Brantley could find any nanny if he wanted someone to take care of Queena. Why must it be Bettany?

"Bettany was treating Marissa in the Fang family when the latter was murdered. After that, Bettany mysteriously disappeared, but she appeared in the house that Queena was locked in. Was there no connection between them?"

Mango felt that something was wrong no matter how she thought about it. She had to ask Brantley about it today to clear her doubts. Otherwise, she would not be able to calm down at all. Brantley's expression suddenly changed when he heard Mango's question.
