The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)

"Mrs. Ye, what's wrong?"

Haniya asked as she noticed that Mango was looking at the notebook in deep thought.

"Nothing... This notebook looks really nice."

Mango came to her senses instantly as she smiled faintly.

Haniya didn't notice the change in Mango's expression and she smiled innocently, "I can ask Doctor Bettany to give you one if you like it too as she has a few notebooks with her."

"Really? I'd love to have one too."

Mango nodded her head.

"Alright, have a good rest. I'll go and see Wisdom."

"What's happened to Wisdom?"

Haniya knew of each member of the Ye family throughout this period of time and Desmond even told Ned to teach her well. Desmond had been avoiding Haniya ever since he rejected her confession and he would never show up in front of her if others could help him.

Haniya felt upset deep down at the thought of Desmond, but she managed to lighten up her mood in an instant.

Mango smiled and said, "It's not a big deal, Wisdom fell down and Rita is beside him."

"Oh, that's a relief. Madam, you should find someone to stay by your side as you're really busy these days."

"It's okay as Sisi is back and her help would be more than enough. Take good care of yourself as I'm waiting for you to come back."

Then, Mango left having said that.

Haniya stared at her silhouette and she realized at that instant that Mango seldom let others be by her side although she seemed friendly.

Desmond, Ned, Sisi, and Newell had all been serving her for a long time and she was the only one who came from the Fang family. Haniya knew that it was an exception for Mango to keep her.

So, Haniya was extra grateful to Mango as she felt special. She swore to study nutrition courses hard so that she could take good care of Mango.

Of course, Mango had no idea what was going through Haniya's mind.

She walked out of Haniya's ward and wanted to visit Bettany, but Sisi approached her.

"What's wrong?"

"Madam, Mr. Ye is in trouble."

At that moment, Mango's heart skipped a beat.

"What happened?"

"He was taken away by the police along with Pryce's body. Pryce had wound all over, so the police was accusing Mr. Ye of imprisoning Pryce illegally and using death punishments, which eventually led to Pryce's death. Someone has sued Mr. Ye to court and the person wants Mr. Ye to give him an explanation."

Sisi said hastily.

At that instant, Mango's brows furrowed.

"Is the person who sued Nathan his uncle?"

"Yes."

"What about Noah? Isn't he by Nathan's side? He should be able to guarantee Nathan's innocence."

Mango looked at Sisi.

Then, Sisi whispered, "The police are from the National Crime Squad and Noah tried to explain for Mr. Ye, but his words didn't seem useful as the police said that the evidence was conclusive and they took Mr. Ye away. Mr. Ye told someone to tell you not to be worried and not to care about the issue as you should focus on your competition and take care of yourself since you're pregnant. However, I heard that Mr. Ye might not be released again..."

Mango's eyes narrowed after hearing Sisi's words.

Nathaniel was in such a dire situation yet he told her not to care about him and just rest well considering her pregnancy? Would Pryce's father allow her to do so even if she wanted to?

She had always had a hunch that Koiton's appearance was unusual and it turned out that they were indeed waiting for the right timing. Was their ultimate intention to let Nathaniel go into jail? Or did they have other motives?

Mango couldn't figure it out, but she knew that she couldn't just let their plan go on.

"Is Noah there?"

Mango knew that the only one who could save Nathaniel at this moment was Noah.

Sisi answered quickly, "Noah has been waiting for you at The Ye's Mansion."

"Ask Newell to take good care of the children as well go home right now. Send a few more bodyguards to protect them as I'm afraid that Pryce's father might attack them." Mango ordered.

"Alright."

Then, Sisi immediately did what Mango told her to.

Mango made a phone call to Desmond.

"Where are you?"

"I'm outside the police station. I followed Mr. Ye here, but we're prohibited from entering the place."

Desmond said hastily in a bad mood.

Nathaniel was considered the most influential person in Ocean City and the general public wouldn't be too harsh on him, yet they didn't let Desmond enter the place now, so Mango felt that the situation seemed really serious.

Her brows furrowed as she was in deep concern.

Then, Mango made another call to Brantley.

"Grandpa, Nathan has been arrested, though I'm not too sure what happened. Do you have any idea how to let me in to see him? We're not allowed to enter the police station apparently."

Brantley was rather surprised when he heard what Mango said.

"Arrested? By who?"

"The National Police Squad."

"Uh? Why?"

"Illegal detention of a person and the person died."

Brantly went silent for a few seconds after hearing Mango's words before he said, "Where's the corpse?" "The police took it away as well."

"This isn't a simple issue. I'll make some arrangements here and you don't take any action without my help. Also, let the Hans family know about this as Terrance has acquaintances from the National Police Squad, so he might have a solution."

Mango felt more secured after hearing Brantley's words.

"Okay, I'll call him now."

On the other hand, Sisi had everything in order by the time Mango hung up the phone.

"Mrs. Ye, we can go home now."

"You should drive."

Mango waved her hand and walked outside quickly.

She called Terrance when Sisi went to the parking lot to bring the car.

"Uncle, Nathan was arrested by the National Crime Squad, do you have any way to let me visit him?"

Terrance's brows furrowed at that instant.

"Huh? When did it happen? How come I haven't heard about it at all?"

"Not long ago, I just got the news too."

Mango's heart was thumping with anxiety.

Then, Terrance said immediately, "Don't worry as

I'll find someone for help. I'll make a call, so just wait for my news at home."

"Alright."

Mango hung up the phone.

She felt much assured now that the Hans and Xiao family were backing her up, but this still seemed to be a serious problem.

Mango stood at the entrance of the hospital as she waited for Sisi. At that instant, she saw a woman approaching her while carrying a baby in her hands and she was rushing over to Mango in a hurry. Mango felt that something wasn't right as the woman was a few steps away from her and Mango thought that she was blatantly aiming at her.

Mango's heart skipped a beat as she quickly ran into the supermarket nearby.

"Miss, what would you like to buy?"

The supermarket employee asked immediately when she saw Mango walking in.

However, Mango looked at the woman and her child while the woman was obviously stunned by Mango's action as she left unwillingly.

Mango felt frightened after witnessing this scene.

She might have gotten into trouble if it weren't for her high alertness. Things would get even more complicated if the person was carrying a dead baby. Perhaps she would have gotten into jail even before Nathaniel could come out.

Mango broke out in cold sweat at thought of this possibility.

It was rather extremely difficult to avoid falling into their tricks.

Nathaniel's uncle was truly a formidable person!

A hint of coldness flashed across Mango's eyes.

On the other hand, Sisi was about to call Mango as she couldn't find her when she drove the car over, but then she saw Mango waving her hand at her in the supermarket.

"Madam, why are you there?"

Sisi looked at Mango and asked in confusion.

However, Mango didn't say anything and she got into the car after buying a bottle of water.

Suddenly, Mango told Sisi to stop the car when they just exited the hospital.

"You should drive home. I'll need to go out for a while."

"Madam, where are you going? I can give you a ride."

Sisi felt that Mango was acting strangely.

"It's okay as I'll be back soon. You can go first."

Mango did not explain further and she told Sisi to leave before calling a taxi herself.

"Head to the Ye's Mansion."

Mango sat in the taxi and only then did her heart calm down a little.

She had a subconscious feeling that it wouldn't be safe for her to return home with Sisi. She figured that it was impossible for Nathaniel's uncle to take over all taxis in Ocean City since there were numerous of them now.

Soon, Mango returned to The Ye's Mansion and her brows furrowed as she didn't see Sisi's car.

"Sisi, are you not back yet?"

Mango called Sisi.

However, Sisi's side sounded noisy.

"Mrs. Ye, someone has been following me and I think they want to kill me, but don't worry as I managed to shrug them off and I'll be home soon."

"Be careful, I'll ask Ned to help you."

Mango hung up the phone and told Ned to drive and pick up Sisi.

Indeed, someone really wanted to kill her.

Mango walked into the house with a gloomy

expression.

Noah saw Mango walking in and he asked nervously, "Did something happen?"

"I almost died as the other party is really trying to kill both of us."

Mango poured a glass of water and drank it all.

then, Noah handed over a paternity test report to Mango.

"This is the report of the paternity test that Nathaniel told me to investigate. Unfortunately, Pryce and Nathaniel are biological brothers."

"What?"

Mango almost choked herself to death as she was still drinking water.

She took over the report and studied it carefully twice. Were they indeed biological brothers since they had 99% genetic similarity?

"Are you sure you got the right blood sample?"

"I got it directly from you and no one else come into contact with the sample, so if there could only be a mistake at your side."

Mango recalled that the person who took Pryce's blood was Desmond and he would never betray them, so the report must be true.

At that instant, Mango's face was terribly gloomy.

"If the person that they detained was the real Pryce, then who's the person that Paul mentioned?"

"We don't have to figure this out at this moment. The thing is that Pryce has an inherited heart condition, or perhaps he was born with some abnormalities and I think that his father is well aware of this, so he deliberately let you catch him. Also, I ran a test on his blood that you extracted from his body and I found that someone injected him some drugs that let him die of a heart attack."

Mango was completely frozen on the spot upon hearing Noah's words.

"How is it possible? No one would be able to enter the Ye Family's basement at all."

"But how could you explain the situation then? He died of a heart attack and it was caused by an externally administered drug. Whether or not this was done by one of your subordinates and regardless of how this person got into the basement, Nathaniel would be accused of a murder case and he would never be released from jail just based on this evidence!"

Noah's words shocked Mango at that instant.

What? Murder?

How was that possible?
