The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)

"Thomas, what's the matter?"

Nathaniel turned on his cell phone and directly pressed the hands-free.

Thomas said in a low voice, "Mr. Ye, Kolton ran away."

A smile appeared at the corner of Mango's mouth.

"He actually believe that he could leave just like that. Keep an eye on the person that he contacted and report his actions back to me." "Alright."

Thomas listened to Mango's words. Even if he didn't hear Nathaniel's reply, he knew that Nathaniel was listening to Mango right now.

After hanging up, Nathaniel looked at Mango and said with a faint smile, "Why do I suddenly feel that I don't know my wife well? When did you become so amazing?"

"Nah, I'm not that amazing, though. It's just that I have some connections before."

Mango knew that it was time to confess.

She sat up in a hurry, and Nathaniel quickly put a pillow behind her to let her lean against it comfortably.

Mango took Nathaniel's hand and sat on the edge of the bed. She said in a low voice, "Actually, I didn't want to lie to you. I just felt that it wasn't necessary to tell you much. Furthermore, I don't have many chances. It's just a favour instead."

"Why don't you tell me what's going on?"

"Well...I'll need to begin from Zion."

Mango paused for a moment before she started to speak.

"Zion was very interested in computers since he was a child. At that time, I didn't find out his passion, but Abyss did. He said that if Zion really likes it, we should ask a teacher to come back and teach him. Anyway, it was beneficial."

At this point, Mango sensitively noticed that Nathaniel's face was a little downcast. She knew that he must have felt jealous again.

"Well, it's the past. Why are you still jealous? The children and I are staying together with you, right?"

Nathaniel said gloomily, "Well...I have missed their infanthood, whereas Abyss has participated in all these things. I feel sad whenever I think of this."

Mango couldn't say anything about this. There was a deep misunderstanding between them back then. Little did she know that Nathaniel was innocent, though. Now that he had missed out on everything that had happened to the children, so she was feeling regretful also.

"Well, don't still have a baby in my belly? We'll work together to bring him up. I promise that I won't stop you from being involved."

"Really?"

"Of course, I mean it."

Upon hearing Mango's words, Nathaniel finally smiled like a child.

Mango sighed and said, "Are you going to listen to me now?"

"Yeah, go ahead and tell me."

Meanwhile, Nathaniel sat there obediently and listened carefully.

Mango continued, "The teacher that Abyss found for Zion was very skillful. Later on, we get to know that he was a hacker, and he was even a member of the 158 Organization."

"What? Did you mean that Abyss actually knows people from the 158 Organization?"

Nathaniel immediately thought of this.

Mango shook her head.

"Not exactly. Abyss didn't know the teacher's identity. Instead, Zion was the only one who knew about it. As Zion was too talented, his teacher wanted to cultivate him to bring him into the organization. After all, he was so young, and yet, he had developed such a great talent. If Zion was trained, he could be the backbone of the organization. Zion only told me this matter. As we were in embarrassing circumstances at that time, I didn't want to get involved with the Tang family. So I agreed with the people of the 158 organization. They had to wait until Zion turned ten to discuss this if he was still interested in it. In short, Zion has connections with 158, not me. I didn't consider it previously because I thought it was unnecessary. Besides, Zion himself didn't take it seriously either. Instead, he was playing around like a normal kid. Though the title of a genius sounds good, he might stop having fun. Don't you think so?"

Mango clarified the 158 organization to Nathaniel in one breath. Only then did Nathaniel nod.

"Wow...that surprised me. I never expected my son to be valued by the people of the 158 organization. That's enough to show that his computer skills are very good."

"Don't be happy too soon. Zion wished to join the military team. If he enters the 158 organization, he can only be a hacker in his life, and this could cause more problems in the future. However, we have nothing to worry about anymore now. Due to your mishap, Zion thought of contacting the people from 158 organization to pressure the higher-ups. After all, many international people rely on the 158 organization. Hence, the higher-ups did not suppress you, and I had a chance to breathe as well.

Mango sighed. Then she found Nathaniel staring straight at her. She coughed and said with some embarrassment, "It was a coincidence that I knew the people from the R Organization."

"What kind of coincidence? Hah! Why didn't I know that the foreign terrorists could be encountered by accident?"

Whenever Nathaniel thought of the cruelty and lawless rules of the R Organization, he was slightly nervous. Little did he expect that his wife had something to do with them.

Mango said somewhat gloomily, "I was certainly not familiar with them. There was once their leader got injured, and I saved him by coincidence. I didn't know that he was a terrorist. He saw me drawing a design and asked me if I could design a car for him, so I agreed. Later on, only did I realize that he was the leader of the R Organization when he paid me gratuity. However, it was already too late. I saved him, and he said that he owed me a life. So, he said that I could give him a call when I needed his help. But he only gave me one chance, and we wouldn't owe each other anything in the future. Everything had been smooth throughout these years, so I never used it. Heck! I even almost forgot it! If you hadn't been taken away, I probably wouldn't call him for the rest of my life."

Upon hearing Mango's words, Nathaniel felt terrible.

"Alas! I'm too useless! I should have protected you and our kids, but you ended up having to worry about me. Don't worry, even if the R Organization really does something to you in future, I will ensure the kids and you are safe."

Nathaniel's words consisted of other meanings, but Mango didn't want to ask about it at that moment. She only felt a little more comfortable after she had made things clear.

"I didn't mean to lie to you."

"I know! I'm just surprised that my wife and child are so capable. It seems that if I don't work harder, I will be defeated by you all."

"You've done well enough. I was only taking advantage of Zion anyways. By the way, how's your case now?"

That was the issue that Mango was most concerned about.

Although Nathaniel had been released, that case was not over yet. She had asked Kolton to withdraw the charge, but since he had taken some other actions, that meant that he had other backup plans. If they did not settle this issue, Nathaniel would be charged with an unwarranted crime, which was something that Mango didn't want to see.

Nathaniel touched her hand and said with a smile, "Leave this case to me. You've done well enough. Now let's talk about your plan."

"What plans could I possibly have? It was Zion's credit. He hacked into Koiton's computer system and discovered that Kolton had a secret research base. It seemed that he was researching human regenerative cells and something about genetic modification. I didn't understand them, but Kolton was feeling confident about this research base. He had been focusing on it recently. After Zion found out the location, he told me, and I used my connections with R Organization so that they would besiege the research institute. Kolton was forced to withdraw the charge. Well, he probably didn't want me to pin him down, so he killed Paul Zhang. I thought he should have asked Pryce to tell Paul's wife to assassinate me. If I died, no one will track him down and stop him no matter what he did. However, perhaps Paul's wife was too nervous, and I took control of the scene once I entered, which turned the situation around."

Nathaniel's heart ached when Mango mentioned such a dangerous incident with a calm voice.

"Hah...you're much more capable than I am! Honey, don't you want to work at the company? I'll even work for you!"

At this point, Mango immediately started to laugh.

"Well, since when had you gave your company shares to me? Do you know that if you never gave me twenty-five percent of the shares, you would be the company's largest shareholder? Now that you have the same amount of shared as I do, aren't you afraid that others will be dissatisfied with you?"

"It doesn't matter. What's mine is yours. I haven't given you all the shares as there are still some things that need to be settled. Otherwise, you are my boss. I will do whatever you ask me to, and I'll go wherever you want me to go."

"Hah! You sound like someone who doesn't have guts. Are you still the same Nathaniel that I know?"

Mango looked at him with a grin.

Nathaniel held her hand tightly and said softly, "I can be anyone, but I'm only yours. Why do I need guts when I'm with you? I only need you." "Ah...you're sweet-talking, but I like it."

Mango fell into Nathaniel's embrace as she spoke.

Although they had only been separated for merely one or two days, Nathaniel was still excited after he had experienced so many affairs.

He abruptly wrapped his arms around Mango and placed his slightly cold thin lips on hers. He then directly kissed her passionately.

Mango had been troubled by the recent issues, and she was a little tired.

She leaned in Nathaniel's embrace and whispered, "The Ye Family has been purified several times. Why do Koiton's people still exist here? Pryce died in our basement at that time. I believe that it was our people who did it. Nathan, you must find this person, or I'm afraid that our home won't be peaceful anymore."

"Okay. Just leave it to me. You don't have to worry about this."

Nathaniel pulled Mango into his arms and gently sniffed her beautiful hair. However, an unknown look flashed across his eyes.

Mango was too tired. Upon smelling Nathaniel's unique scent, she naturally fell asleep.

Looking at Mango's tired appearance, Nathaniel's heart ached. He put her down on the bed and pulled the blanket to cover her before calling over the caretaker to take care of her. He then left the ward alone. As soon as he got out of the ward, Nathaniel's face darkened, and the chilling look made the reporters around him shudder.

They knew that the Ocean City would not be peaceful any longer.
