The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)

Rainie suddenly looked at Thomas as if she had thought of something.

"Are you alright? Did I hit you just now? I..."

Rainie's words were instantly stuck in her throat.

She remembered.

She was no longer the Rainie that she used to be!

She had too many things to do and she could not let her friends and lover get involved in her matters.

Thomas grabbed her hand as soon as he saw that she was frozen in shock.

"What on earth have you been through? Can you tell me? Or do you think that I can't protect you? Can't I give you a sense of security? Why do you have to bear everything alone? Am I such an irresponsible person to you?"

"Yes! You can't save me and my family. You are just Nathaniel's assistant. What can you do for me? Your money is just a drop in the bucket for me. You can't do anything!"

Rainie suddenly pushed him away. Mango felt uncomfortable with what she said.

"Rainie, you've gone too far!"

She put on a cold face.

Rainie knew that Mango was angry. But so what?

She wanted Mango to be angry.

"Too much? I didn't even..."

Mango gave Rainie a slap before she could even finish her sentence.

The sound from the slap was crisp and clear, and no one had expected it, especially Denver.

"Mango, did you hit my sister?"

He was especially surprised because he knew the relationship between Rainie and Mango more than anyone else.

"How can you do that?"

Denver's eyes suddenly turned red.

He wanted to stand up, but there was nothing he could do.

There was some blood on the corner of Rainie's mouth.

Mango's slap was hard, but Rainie's heart was finally at ease.

Rainie felt bad for scheming against her best friend and even dragging Mango's husband down to the drain along with her, so this slap had more or less lessened her guilt and discomfort. "Denver, don't interrupt. This is what I owe her."

Denver stopped when he heard Rainie's words, and he did not say anything else anymore.

Mango looked at the woman who grew up with her and said coldly, "There are some things you can do, but there are some things you can't! Since you've already done it and you knew that you were wrong, you can change. However, you didn't repent and you're still talking nonsense. Don't you know Thomas' feelings for you? You don't have to torture yourself and us like this even if you don't want us to help. I don't care they you don't want us to get into trouble. Rainie, you've lived aimlessly all these years! The relationship between us has been in vain."

Mango had never been so angry and sad before and she even wanted to beat herself up.

They wouldn't need to argue if Rainie explained the reason behind her schemes. What would Thomas think about this?

What would Nathaniel do?

No one would treat the plot as a joke, especially a man.

Rainie knew that Mango was doing this for her own good. She raised her head and her face was slightly red and swollen.

"

Thomas's heart ached as he hurriedly pulled Rainie behind him. He looked at Mango and said, "Madam, come to me if you have anything against her. Rainie's body is weak and she can't take a beating." "What!? I think she was beaten too lightly. I know it wasn't easy for you as a woman to carry everything after the Blu family had gotten into trouble. You did not want to trouble me and you did not want me to interfere. I understand. However, what you did was very disappointing for me. You're my sister and we've grown up together. You have said that we would share everything, whether it was happiness or sorrow. You have gone to the borders for me and sacrificed Denver's legs because of that, but why didn't you tell me about this? Do you expect to sacrifice so much without expecting anything in return? Rainie, tell me what I can do to make up for what you and Denver have done for me. You have only thought for yourself. You thought that you did it for my sake, but you have actually made me humiliated. Do you think this is a way to treat a sister?"

The more Mango talked, the more uncomfortable she felt and the more she cried.

Nathaniel handed over the paper towel to Mango and ignored her, but he turned around and looked at Denver's legs instead.

Denver wanted to dodge, but Nathaniel stopped him.

"Don't move. You can't move because your legs have been fractured. I've already contacted an ambulance and it will arrive soon."

Rainie went crazy when she heard Nathaniel's words.

"We can't call an ambulance! We can't! If Denver appears, they will..."

"No one will dare to do something to him with me around. If the Ye Family isn't strong enough, there's still the Hans family. If that isn't enough, there's the Xiao family as well. Rainie, shut up. I'll definitely beat you up today if you're not a woman."

Nathaniel's eyes were furious and it looked like he wasn't joking at all.

He was really angry.

Thomas had not seen Nathaniel like this for a long time. He did not know how Rainie had offended him. When he saw this, he could not help but push her behind his back to protect her.

"Mr. Ye, Rainie is too anxious. She doesn't have any ill intentions."

"Get the hell out of here!"

The anger that had been suppressed in Nathaniel's heart had finally erupted.

If the other party wasn't Rainie, and if it was not because she had Mango's interests at heart, Nathaniel would have murdered her long ago.

He would've made the other party pay just because they've schemed against him and placed him and Mango in an awkward situation.

Nathaniel had been suppressing his anger just because this person was Rainie, and he was worried about Mango. However, his anger became more and more intense as he was blinded by rage. Mango naturally knew what he meant, but she did not stop him for now.

There would really be a barrier between Nathaniel and her if he did not vent his anger now.

Thomas was shocked by Nathaniel's murderous look.

He had not seen Nathaniel like this for many years.

"Mr. Ye, I..."

"Do you want to die?"

Nathaniel's gaze was fixed on Thomas.

Thomas still wanted to say something, but Rainie pulled him aside and walked in front of him.

She looked at Nathaniel and said word by word, "I still have to say that Mango and you are not suitable for each other even if you want to kill me today. Also, I can accept anyone's help, except for you. Nathaniel, I don't need your help even if my brother and I die!"

After that, she went straight to Nathaniel and slapped his hand off Denver's leg with her eyes filled with hatred.

Nathaniel's eyes suddenly narrowed.

Mango and Thomas hurriedly went up to stop them as both of them looked like they were about to fight anytime now. "Rainie, keep quiet. Denver's legs are important and Dr. Soo is an expert in this field. He might be able to help Denver." Thomas held Rainie tightly in his arms.

Mango also grabbed Nathaniel's hand and said in a low voice, "Alright, what's the point of being angry with a woman? I did not take it seriously."

"Then ask her to get out of the way! Denver's legs will really become useless if he doesn't go for treatment now because it has been left untreated for too long."

Nathaniel was at a loss for words. However, he could only suppress his anger when he saw how worried Mango was.

Rainie had disliked Nathaniel since the very beginning. It was not long since she had looked at Nathaniel differently, but why was she like this

now?

Mango felt that something was wrong, but Rainie took a deep breath and said before she could ask, "Mango, I know that you treat me as a best friend. I also know that you don't want to see me and Denver die. To be honest, I'm really afraid of dragging you down. In fact, it's the only reason I wanted to break contact with you. If you really want to help my brother and me, you can get rid of the baby in your belly and divorce Nathaniel. If you do that, I will listen to you even if you ask me to die."

"Rainie, do you really want to die?"

Nathaniel's tolerance for Rainie had already reached the limit.

This woman was simply unreasonable.

It had taken him and Mango a lot of effort to have a child. Why did this matter provoke Rainie?

It was obvious that Mango was also stunned.

She knew that Rainie didn't like Nathaniel, but haven't they reconciled? Everyone got along quite well during this period of time. Why was Rainie suddenly like this?

Thomas also looked at Rainie subconsciously.

"Do you also want to tell me that I have to leave Mr. Ye and the Ye Family if I want to be with you?"

Thomas looked straight at Rainie.

Rainie could feel the disappointment and discomfort in his eyes, but she still said, "Yes! You will have to be separated from Nathaniel if you want to be with me. Otherwise, we will not be together for the rest of our lives!"

Thomas reluctantly let go of Rainie's hands.

His eyes were a little red, and he asked word by word, "Why?"

"There's no reason to it. Don't you all want to help me? You said it so resolutely and emotionally, and you said that I wasn't being a good friend because I did not seek help from all of you. However, can you all agree to my requirements? Thomas is the love of my life, and Mango my best friend. Can you abandon your best friend and your lover for my sake?"

Rainie cried so hard that she shouted at the top of her voice.

She looked at Mango and Thomas and said with a tearful smile, "You can't, right? Please get out of here if you can't! It's not up to you to deal with my family. Get out!"

Denver quickly reached out to hold Rainie in his arms when he saw her in this state.

He looked at Mango and Thomas while he said word by word, "Mango, Thomas, I'm begging you to leave now if you really care about my sister. Let the two of us live our own lives. Please don't interfere in our matters and please leave our sight. Our lives will have nothing to do with each other from now on."

Mango's heart suddenly ached.

"What? Denver, your legs..."

"Treat it as repayment for taking care of my sister for so many years. Mango, I beg you to leave now."

Denver looked at Mango, and his eyes were filled with mixed emotions. Rainie was crying in his arms and no one could bear to see her like that.

"Why? What on earth are you all up to?"

Mango didn't understand why Rainie had to make such a request. Why didn't Denver help her this time?

What on earth had happened?
