The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)

"Is he about to wake up?"

Mango looked at him after Noah casually said that. Mango honestly did not know how to look at Nathaniel now.

Mango wanted to go out, but she decided against it after a moment.

"Let's go back first."

Noah gave Mango a glance. They couldn't interfere in this kind of matter and it would seem like they were trying to find an excuse for Nathaniel if they said something. Hence, it was better to ignore it. Genevieve knew what Noah was thinking. Then, she looked at Mango as she sighed and followed Noah out.

Nathaniel felt very tired and uncomfortable. He was shocked for a moment after he opened his eyes.

"Where am I?"

He turned his head and looked at the unfamiliar room. He stunned for a moment when he saw Mango and his mind was completely empty.

"Mango? Why are you here?"

Nathaniel's expression was very dull.

Mango sighed. Her heart was filled with grievances and pain, but she suppressed her expression when she saw Nathaniel. Coupled with her own speculation, she walked over to Nathaniel's bed and poured him a cup of water.

"Drink some water. Your throat must be very uncomfortable now after drinking so much."

Nathaniel took the cup of water and gulped everything down. He began to recall something after that.

His brows suddenly furrowed.

"No, where is Rainie?"

Nathaniel sat up suddenly and found that his upper body was naked.

"What's going on?"

His brows were tightly knitted together.

Mango finally understood. It was impossible for a guilty man to feel nothing and it was even more impossible for him to not remember anything. Noah said that someone had drugged him, and there was no way he could do anything after that. It seemed like it was true when she looked at Nathaniel's condition.

"Nothing, put on your clothes."

Mango handed the clothes over to Nathaniel and

she frowned slightly after smelling the alcohol on them.

"Why did you drink so much?"

Nathaniel took the clothes and he was also affected by the smell.

"What's going on?"

"You don't know what happened? Didn't you drink?"

Mango was a little puzzled. However, she could see that Nathaniel didn't seem to know anything. Perhaps Nathaniel's acting skills were very good, but Mango knew that he would admit it if he drank. Nathaniel knew that something had happened after listening to what Mango had said.

"Have you seen Rainie? Something happened to her family."

Nathaniel changed the topic very sudden. However, Mango only paused for a moment before catching up to him.

"Is it a big deal?"

"Yes, at least for now and it may be something that I can't solve. I don't know who her family has provoked. Her parents are now detained in the customs. They were abducted by some anonymous people before my men could even get there. Their business was sealed up too. I haven't found out the details yet, but it is said that everyone that was related to the Blu family was badly affected. I just received the news and learned her whereabouts. I was going to come and see her, but I didn't know why I fainted. I only remember that I only drank a cup of wine."

Nathaniel knew that something must have happened, but he didn't have much of an impression. He guessed that it must have something to do with him when he saw Mango's expression. However, he simply couldn't recall anything as he was in a fragmented state.

Mango knew that all of these might have been plotted by Rainie because something had happened to the Blu family. It might not have anything to do with Nathaniel. "Was this the phone call you received just now in grandpa's house?"

"Yes. I was afraid that you would be worried for Rainie at that time, so I planned to tell you only after I investigated the matter. I didn't expect... what happened?"

"It's fine. It's probably because Rainie didn't want us to intervene with her matters. She gave you some drugs and made you sleep for a while." Mango spoke in a light and calm voice.

She did not feel any sense of discomfort anymore now compared to the anger and grievances she had just now. She just started to worry about Rainie. What kind of problem could not be solved by Nathaniel?

Nathaniel frowned with a look of disgust on his face as he put his clothes on. Then he whispered, "I have to talk to Thomas about this."

"Does Thomas know it?"

"It's impossible that Rainie did not get help from him. She would definitely not want to get us and Thomas into trouble if something really serious happened. I'm just afraid that Thomas would do something out of impulse."

Nathaniel sniffed the smell on his body again and whispered, "I'd better take a bath first and ask someone to send me a set of clothes."

"Alright."

Mango called Toby and asked him to buy a set of clothes after Nathaniel went to the bathroom.

The sound of water could be heard from the bathroom and Mango's brows were tightly knitted together.

Was Rainie trying to hide away from Mango for the rest of her life?

They had such a good relationship, but Rainie had used Nathaniel to end their friendship. She knew that Mango valued cleanliness, whether was it mental or physical. Therefore, she used this method and planned to cut contact with Mango. She had done this so that Mango would be able to completely cut off her relationship with the Blu family, right?

Mango still remembered how much Rainie had done for her. After returning to the Blu family, she had even gone across the border with her brother to help with Mango's matter. Rainie had been busy for such a long time because of Mango. They didn't have a proper chat now that Mango came back, and Rainie had made such a decision just because of her family matters.

Mango was very upset.

It was the real feeling she felt now.

She was very devastated.

Mango would have made a prompt decision if anyone had done something with Nathaniel. Rainie knew about this, so she didn't hesitate to do this.

Mango's gripped the bedsheets with her hand tightly that she almost tore a hole in them.

Wasn't the Blu family just businessmen?

How could they have offended someone?

Who had they offended?

How could that person be so powerful?

Was it related to Mango letting Rainie across the borders?

Mango suddenly became alert.

She was the one in the wrong if it was really because of her.

Nathaniel also felt uncomfortable as he was in the bathroom.

There was something wrong with Mango's expression and the fragments of his memories were not quite right. Furthermore, he hadn't even drunk any alcohol when he met Rainie, so how could he have such a strong alcohol smell on his body?

Did Rainie make him drunk?

But why?

There was no need to take off his clothes even if he was drunk, right?

Furthermore, Mango's expression didn't look too good.

Nathaniel called Noah as the sound of the shower was very loud.

"Is there any medicine that can make people seem like they're drunk?"

Noah hadn't arrived home yet. He stopped the car by the roadside when he received Nathaniel's call. After all, Genevieve was still in the car so he could not afford anything to happen.

"Are you awake?"

Noah's voice was hazy, but it made Nathaniel pause for a moment.

"Have you been to the club?"

"Well, I've just left a few minutes ago and I'm on Bricklane Street now."

Nathaniel frowned tightly upon hearing Noah's words and he couldn't help but look outside.

"Did Mango ask you to come here?"

"Yes, you may have been set up by someone. You were naked when I went there and there was a strong alcohol smell on your body. The most important thing was that a woman left your room and there were hickeys all over her."

Nathaniel nearly dropped his phone when he heard Noah's words.

"What are you talking about?"

"I'm not talking nonsense. Don't you know how to look at the CCTV footage yourself?"

Nathaniel stunned after listening to what Noah had said.

Mango seemed to have thought of something at this moment. She quickly got up and said, "Nathan, I'll go out and see if Toby has come back."

With that being said, she walked outside.

Nathaniel suddenly realized something.

"I'll call you later."

He quickly hung up and used a program to enter the monitoring system of the club instantly.

He would not have bothered to do so if it happened in the past. After all, Nathaniel's status was very high now and he could just request to look at the surveillance camera if he wanted to. However, he suddenly had a feeling that Mango might be going to delete the surveillance camera footage.

Nathaniel had no time to care about that at this moment and he directly hacked the monitoring system of the club.

But the video on the monitoring system had been deleted.

There were more than 20 minutes of blank time.

Nathaniel's eyes became colder again.

He wouldn't have thought about it if Noah did not mention it. However, no matter what Mango had seen, something was wrong as the other party had deleted the footage so quickly.

Nathaniel quickly hacked into the program to find the deleted footage in the monitoring system. He had managed to find it in just a short while.

The other party just deleted it, but they did not clear it completely out of the system. However, Nathaniel would be able to find it even if the other party had cleared it.

Nathaniel watched what had happened on his screen and his eyes turned cold.

Rainie asked someone to carry Nathaniel into the room while he was unconscious and asked someone to take off his shirt.

Rainie ordered someone to call Mango at this moment, and Mango had arrived in less than twenty minutes.

Rainie pulled off her clothes when Mango arrived at the corridor and all of her hickeys were clearly displayed.

After that, Mango kicked open the door that was half- open. Nathaniel wasn't clear on their conversation, but he could see that Mango was surprised and shocked. He could also see Rainie's resolute posture.

It had only been twenty minutes since he entered the room and Rainie went out. There were always people in the room during this period of time. By this time, Nathaniel could already understand why was Mango's expression so grim.

How could she be in a good mood when she saw her best friend betraying her and lying down together with her husband?

However, Nathaniel was surprised that Mango did not say or do anything.

After he restored the video, he placed it back in the original monitoring system and saw Mango walking into the surveillance room.

Nathaniel sighed. Rainie and he were innocent. Although he did not know where the hickeys on Rainie body came from, he really did not wish that this incident would affect his relationship with Mango.

He didn't blame Rainie.

The Blu family encountered such a big thing, and anyone who had connections with them would be implicated within a day no matter how powerful they were. This was not normal.

He was Mango's husband, so he knew that she was worried about the Blu family. However, he would be able to understand Rainie's actions if Mango were to be put into danger just because of her connections with the Blu family.

Mango would break her friendship with Rainie after this incident, and only then could she be free from the tragedy of the Blu family.

Nathaniel had mixed feelings at this moment and he was a little worried about Mango's mental state.

Would she able to handle it?
