The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)

Actually, ever since the sudden appearance of Kolton and the incident of the Blu family happened, Mango had a feeling that everything had gone out of her control. However, Nathaniel got into trouble before she could figure things out.

She had to admit that Kolton took action too quickly and he was sharp-witted. Pryce was already dead, but what about the one who was still alive?

It felt as if Kolton was constantly monitoring her family behind her back and Mango felt really uneasy.

She calmed herself down on the side of the road for a while before her phone rang again.

Then, Mango took a look and found it was from Gisella. It was obvious that she had gotten Mango's phone number from Mr. Shen.

Mango ignored her call and blocked her number without hesitation.

She was really perturbed at the moment because of Nathaniel's affairs and she did not have the mood to entertain Gisella.

After blacklisting Gisella's number, Mango started the car again and drove directly to the detention

center.

She didn't eat much in the morning, but she still didn't feel hungry even though it was already afternoon. At this moment, Mango was a little anxious as she hadn't received any news now that the sun was abou to set.

Could it be that Kolton had reneged on his words?

Or was he going to do something else?

Then, Mango called Joshua, but he told her that Kolton had been in his room all the time and he didn't come out.

On Zion's side, he said that the R Organization had retreated, but some of them were still around and Koiton's subordinate could see them.

Mango had no idea what was wrong so she could only wait.

She waited for a few more moments and Nathaniel hadn't shown up, but Thomas called her.

"Mrs. Ye, where are you?"

"What's the matter?"

Mango didn't want to talk about Nathaniel for the time being.

Even though such a big incident had happened to the Ye family, Mango had suppressed the news and the news media had not reported about it yet.

It was likely that the higher-ups did not intend to spread the news too. However, Thomas's call caused Mango's mind to go haywire, so to be unable to figure out what was going on, so she asked him instead. Then, Thomas quickly said, "Madam, can you contact Mr. Ye? The company is in trouble."

"What happened?"

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

Thomas whispered, "You'd better come to the company... If you can contact Mr. Ye, please tell him to come here as soon as possible."

After that, Thomas hung up the phone.

Mango rubbed her aching temple and although she didn't know what had happened in the company, she must go and have a look since Thomas was so anxious.

She took a look at the detention center outside the fence. The man she cherished was inside, but now she could not wait for him to be released here.

Mango sighed before she called Ned and told him to wait for Nathaniel while she drove towards HY Group.

As soon as she entered the company, she sensed that something was wrong.

She didn't know how to manage a company, but she had heard from Nathaniel that there were a few major shareholders in the company. She had a few glimpses of them back then, but now that these shareholders were sitting in the conference room with angry faces, Mango couldn't help but frown.

"Huh? Madam, you are here? Where's Mr. Ye then?"

Thomas didn't see Nathaniel, so he asked in a hurry.

"Nathan is busy now and he can't come, so I came to see what's going on."

However, the major shareholders were not happy with Mango's words.

"You came to check it out? Who do you think you are? Do you think that you have a say in everything just because you're married to Nathaniel? Are you even capable of doing business? What do you know? Hurry up and ask Nathaniel to come here!"

Mango seldom went to the company under usual circumstances as she wasn't interested in the company's affairs. However, she could no longer hold it back now that the shareholders urged her unrelentingly. Nevertheless, the situation was different from before now as Nathaniel would definitely not be able to return, so she bit the bullet and said, "Nathan is on a business trip and he really can't make it back in time. May I know what happened to the company?"

"Do you hold any shares of the company? Who are you to come here and question us? Since Nathaniel can't return in time, why don't he video call us? Well, give him a call now as we have to talk to him." The shareholder didn't care about Mango's reputation at all.

At that moment, she felt a little awkward.

Then, Thomas quickly said, "Fellow shareholders, please calm down. Mrs. Ye is the matriarch of the Ye family and I know that you're looking down on her as she's a woman. However, she does have shares in our company, and she holds 25% of them. Mr. Ye once said that if he is not here, she has the right to deal with urgent issues. Also, his shares are considered joint property with his wife, so Mrs. Ye absolutely has the right to be here."

Upon hearing Thomas's words, all the shareholders were stunned, including Mango.

"Nonsense! How can the Ye family's shares be given away to others so easily? Moreover, these shares can never be categorized as joint property!"

Mr. Huang got angry as soon as he heard that.

On the other hand, Mango was still stupefied.

Since when did she own 25% of the shares of HY Group?

However, Thomas had no time to explain it to Mango as he quickly said to Mr. Huang, "Mr. Huang, Mr. Ye has already signed an agreement with a lawyer, so please show some respect to Mrs. Ye." Thomas didn't see Nathaniel, but he knew that Mango wouldn't have come if she could contact Nathaniel.

After all, Mango wasn't interested in the company and she had no intention of managing it. Moreover, she was clueless that she had 25% of the shares. So, the only reason she came was that something happened to Nathaniel or that he really couldn't come.

Now that Mr. Ye wasn't around, Thomas couldn't let anyone bully Mango as this was his duty.

Thomas was just a vice president, but he had been following Nathaniel for many years and everyone knew that he was Nathaniel's right-hand man. Thomas's words were not as influential as Nathaniel's in the industry, but no one could turn a deaf ear to him.

Right now, Thomas had been protecting Mango and she had a lot more shares than them.

So, even though a few of the shareholders had complaints, they had no choice but to suppress their dissatisfaction at this moment.

Then, Thomas said to Mango after seeing that the shareholders went silent, "Madam, an accident happened involving the construction company that collaborated with us not long ago. A civilian worker died on the spot because of the accident. According to the investigation, the elevator was the main cause and it was where the worker died. Importantly, we have no idea who put the news on the internet after the accident happened. Now, we couldn't suppress the public opinion although our company's Public Relations Department has taken action immediately. Our shares are falling sharply and the family members of the civilian workers are also making a fuss. They want us to give them an explanation."

At that moment, Mango's brows were tightly knitted together.

Was it just a coincidence that something like this happened at this time?

Or was someone doing this on purpose?

The construction company collaborated with a corporation and accidents would happen occasionally. So, they shouldn't spread the news and analyzed the accident so quickly. Now, it seemed that the situation was getting worse for

HY group as if someone was deliberately targeting them.

"Didn't the company send someone to negotiate it?"

"Yes, but our employee was driven out forcefully even before he could enter the hospital. Manager Zhang was the one in charge of negotiating, but he's now in hospital."

Thomas's words caused Mango's eyes to narrow slightly.

"So, why are we gathering here for a meeting now?"

Mango turned to look at the shareholders.

This was not a big deal and Nathaniel should be able to solve it in no time if he was here, yet he couldn't show up at this critical moment.

Moreover, Thomas should be able to handle it with his ability even if Nathaniel was not here. However, not only was he not able to settle the issue now, but the shareholders were also sitting here with anger. So, Mango guessed that something else must be going on.

She glared at the shareholders fiercely at that instant.

Initially, the shareholders were already very unhappy because of the sudden appearance of Mango. Then, they became even more displeased when they saw her expression and heard the way she questioned them.

"Why are we gathering here? Our company's stock is falling sharply and it's affecting our interests. Besides, now that Nathaniel isn't showing up even for such a trifle issue, and that the company couldn't handle it well, we're really doubting whether Nathaniel has the ability to manage the company or not."

Mr. Huang spoke again.

Then, Mango sneered and said, "Are you saying that you want someone else to replace Nathaniel? Well, who should take over the position then? Don't you forget that this company belongs to the Ye Family! Mr. Huang, may I know how many shares do you own in the HY Group? Do you even have the right to change the chairman?"

Mango's question was straightforward and critical.

She was not the type of person who would take advantage of her power and bully others, but now these shareholders were obviously rubbing salt in the wound.

Perhaps they weren't trying to make things worse, but they were simply stirring up trouble!

Maybe they knew that Nathaniel could not return to the company, so they behaved so unscrupulously and fearlessly.

Mango's mind was running quickly as she suddenly thought of Kolton.

She looked at Thomas and asked in a low voice, "Is Mr. Huang related to Kolton?"

At that moment, Thomas was a little stunned.

"Kolton? Are you talking about Mr. Ye's second uncle?"

"Yes."

"Mr. Huang and Kolton used to be best friends."

Immediately, Mango figured it out upon hearing Thomas's words.

Mango threatened Kolton and he had no choice but to release Nathaniel. However, he was incredibly dissatisfied with it, so he wanted to destroy the entire company and HY Group would be in a total mess even if Nathaniel came out of prison. Or perhaps Nathaniel would have no time to investigate Pryce and other issues because of this.

It was possible that the accident at the construction site had something to do with Kolton.

At that instant, Mango's mind was running fast.

On the other hand, Mr. Huang saw Mango and Thomas whispering to each other, so he couldn't help but feel a little angry.

"Why can't you discuss it aboveboard? Are you calculating how to exploit the interests of the shareholders? Well, you'd better call Nathaniel out now as you're just a woman who can't make any decisions! Stop making a fool of yourself! Or is Nathaniel in trouble and he's trying to avoid this issue?"

Immediately, Mr. Huang's words attracted everyone's attention. Mango turned around and looked straight at Mr. Huang with her sharp eyes in an instant after she heard him saying those words in such a confident manner.
