The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)

Before the subordinate could finish his words, he was kicked by Kolton.

"Hurry up! I want to get out of here! You're so useless!"

He had lost his temper.

Koiton's lips suddenly curled up while he took a glance at Mango who was unconscious.

He walked to the balcony and dialed a number using his phone.

The call was soon connected. A woman's voice came from the other end.

"Who is this?"

"Queena, Mango is with me."

As soon as Kolton finished speaking, Queena became anxious in an instant.

"Kolton?"

"What a coincidence! I've decided to reach out to you again."

Queena's eyes narrowed again after hearing his words.

"What do you want to do?" "Queena, don't you know what I'm going to do? Oh,

right, I just told your daughter something that you would also interested in it. I have Dennis' body with me Do you want to have a look at it?"

Right after Kolton finished speaking, Queena suddenly became excited.

"You b*stard! What are you trying to say? Over two decades ago, I knew it wasn't Dennis's body, but the test equipment wasn't advanced enough at that time. The DNA sample was blurry, but the results showed that there was an 80% chance that the body belonged to Dennis. I stayed at the border these years to find more news about him. Hah! I never expected you to take him away."

Queena was indeed frustrated. Even after so many years, she still concerned about that incident.

Kolton said coldly, "If it weren't for you pursuing me back then, how could I have fled this place in such a hurry? However, thanks to your hunt, I managed to build up a force outside the country too. So, do you want Dennis's body?"

"I want it!"

"Bring along the things I need to meet me then. Remember, do not call the police or tell Nathaniel and don't bring anyone with you. Otherwise, I don't know what will happen to your daughter. You understand that she is pregnant now. She is the best candidate for my experiment, though."

"How dare you! If you dare to do anything to Mango, I promise you won't get anything."

Queena's voice abruptly raised.

However, Kolton said with a faint smile, "Queena, you're not innocent either. If you were, the things that I want should be in the military right now, right? Since you didn't take it out after many years, you're also a selfish person too, right? In this case, why don't we cooperate together?"

"I won't cooperate with you, and the reason why I didn't hand it over was not for my own sake. It was just a memento left by Dennis for me at that time, and I wanted a memory of him. Kolton, don't force me to do this."

"Hah! Are you sure that I'm the one who's forcing you? Queena, I'll give you an address. It's up to you whether you want to come or not. However, I'm giving you an hour. After that, I don't know what will I do to Mango."

Kolton immediately hung up the call after finishing his words.

Queena's eyes abruptly sank.

She looked upset.

Rita happened to pass by her room. When she felt her unhappiness, she immediately asked, "Grandma, what's wrong? Have you seen my mommy?"

Queena came to her sense and replied with a faint smile, "I'll bring your mommy back later."

"Oh, alright. Grandma, you don't really look well. Are you sick?"

"It's alright. I'm not feeling well today. Can you go and play on your own?"

"Alright."

Rita got up and went to look for Wisdom.

Queena closed her room door.

She pulled out an iron box under her bed and opened it. There was a notebook inside. It belonged to Dennis.

Queena held the notebook tightly and whispered, "Dennis, have I been selfish over these years? I thought it was fine to hand it in and keep this as a souvenir. However, I didn't expect Kolton to be so stubborn. Argh! I should have thought about why he came back even though he was facing such risk. He definitely did not just come back for the genetic data of the Ye Family. However, I thought that Nathaniel would defeat him when they fought. So the things that you left behind would become mine. I won't live long, and I planned to cremate this notebook together with me so that I could discuss it with you in heaven. Unfortunately, I think that I can't wait till then.

She flicked the dust off the notebook and carefully pulled it into her chest.

Queena went to Mango's room.

After so many years, she had failed to fulfil her duty as a mother towards Mango. If it wasn't for this notebook, she would never leave Mango behind. However, she put Mango at risk because of her notebook as well. Queena felt that she owed her daughter too much.

She put away the notebook and changed into a nice set of clothes before going downstairs.

Brantley saw that Queena was going out. He frowned immediately.

"Where are you going?"

"I'm going to look for Mango."

"What? Do you know where she is? I heard from Nathan that he's looking for her too. Don't mess around since you're not in good health now. Listen..."

"I know where Kolton is. Dad, don't worry about me. I am a mother. I can't watch my daughter get into trouble and do nothing."

Queena's words made Brantley slightly upset.

"I'm not asking you to ignore her, but what can you do by going out now? Your body is already weak while Nathaniel is still young. However, even if he went against Kolton, there's a huge possibility that he might lose. Also, if Mango is in his hands, Nathan will definitely save her with his capabilities. Just listen to me. Stay at home and wait for news."

"Kolton wants to meet me."

Queena suddenly said.

Brantley was completely stunned.

"What did you say?"

"Dad, there are some things that I haven't told you, and I don't have time to tell them all to you now. Perhaps you'll find out soon. However, regardless of the choice I make, I hope that you'll be able to live well. If I'm gone, please take good care of Mango and her children."

Brantley squinted his eyes abruptly.

"What are you going to do?"

Queena immediately smiled.

Brantley had never seen such a sincere smile on Queena's face after so many years.

She said, "I want to look for Dennis. After all these years, perhaps I can really be buried with him."

"What nonsense are you saying? Dennis has already died for a long time, and his ashes are still buried in the heroes' cemetery. Are you going insane?" "Dad, let's not talk about this anymore. Do you think I look good today?"

Queena turned.

She was wearing the clothes that Dennis had bought for her in the past. Both of them have agreed to register their marriage that day. However, Madam Hans had called Dennis back to the Hans family in the nick of time. From then onwards, they went their separate ways.

He never got married in his life, nor did he leave anything for her. The only thing he left behind was this dress and the notebook in her arms.

Brantley suddenly felt a little flustered.

"Queena, don't..."

"Dad, don't send anyone to follow me and don't tell Nathaniel either. I'm confident that I can bring Mango back, but there are some things that I don't want Nathaniel and you to know. You only need to remember me as your brilliant daughter, and let me take the rest of the secrets to my grave."

"Queena!"

"Dad, I'm dying. If I manage to meet Dennis before I die, I think my life will be worth it."

Brantley felt that Queena was acting a bit weirdly. However, Queena didn't want to explain anymore.

She stopped Brantley from following her and drove out alone.

Brantley was slightly worried and asked Toby to follow her. However, Toby managed to follow only halfway before he lost her.

He then informed Nathaniel regarding this issue. Nathaniel learnt that Kolton had an appointment with Queena. He didn't know what to do at first. After that, he sent his men to locate them.

However, by the time Nathaniel received the news, Queena had already boarded the ship, and Koiton's ship also left the port of Ocean City.

"Go after him!"

Nathaniel was extremely depressed.

"Hah! Tell me! How did they leave the harbour under my watch? Didn't our men block off all the exits?"

He was enraged!

Ned replied in a low voice, "Our men set up the boat for Queena. He didn't expect that Kolton and Queena would be together."

Nathaniel was terribly upset.

Queena was his mother-in-law, but at that moment, he really wanted to beat her up.

"Is Madam on the boat as well?"

"Yes, she should be."

Nathaniel's face darkened even more.

"If I'm not mistaken, Kolton will definitely head to the seas after going out of the port. Get our people to chase after him. In any case, we must stop him before he reaches there."

"Yes!"

Ned immediately led his people to chase after Kolton.

Desmond's eyes were slightly cold.

"I don't think he'll go to the seas."

"Tell me what you think."

Nathaniel looked at Desmond while trying his best to suppress his anger.

Desmond whispered, "I was an experiment too. My parents' current home is similar to Koiton's research base, so I know better than anyone what a science psycho wants the most."

"What exactly are you trying to say?"

"What I want to say is that madam is pregnant now, just like my mother was back then. Genetic experiments on adults tend to fail. However, there might be unexpected results if they experiment on the embryo inside the mother's body. Through this, there could be unexpected results, just like what happened to me.

Nathaniel's expression changed after hearing Desmond's words.

"Do...do you mean that Kolton intends to use Mango as a living specimen by using her baby for an experiment?"

"That's what I'm thinking of, but hopefully, he won't do that. Well, if he really intends to do that, he will not escape to the seas, but he will return to his own base instead. After all, he can only do anything he wants once he returns to his base. I think that he will likely land at the nearest harbour. Then, he will take a helicopter to leave our country and go abroad. I'm sure that someone as cautious as him would have different research bases that would act like back-ups.

Upon hearing Desmond's words, Nathaniel was not calm anymore.

If his guess was correct, would he be able to save Mango and the others in time?

Nathaniel was slightly nervous.

No way!

He definitely would not allow anyone to hurt Mango and her baby, not even Kolton!
