The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)

Chapter 329

"F*ck! We're already avoiding her, but she just had to come and bother us anyway! Oh, I really want to see what this little rich princess is made of."

Charlotte immediately rolled up her sleeves.

However, Mango was afraid that her friend would get hurt, so she muttered, "Leave her be. Let her keep knocking and she'll leave when no one answers the door."

"Hey, when did you become so meek? Are you holding back just because she's your half-sister?"

Charlotte felt that Mango was acting strangely out of character.

In the past, Mango would never allow herself to be stepped on even if she wasn't the one who started the fight. Hence, it was puzzling that she refused to fight back now, even when trouble came knocking at her door.

On the other hand, Mango knew what Charlotte was thinking, but the fact was that she just didn't want to argue with Andrea. Furthermore, her body couldn't take the agitation, so it was better if she didn't see Andrea at all.

Meanwhile, Andrea kept knocking incessantly even though no one answered. Thus, she became so angry that she started to kick the door!

"Hey, all of you inside better listen up! Open the door and let me in, I swear I'll leave immediately if you're not the person that I'm looking for!"

She said these words so confidently, as if she expected the world to bow at her feet.

Then, Charlotte looked back at Mango only to find that her friend's gaze had darkened and she was tightly gripping the sheets with both her hands, evidently trying to rein in her temper.

Charlotte's heart ached when she saw Mango like this.

Her best friend, who was the young lady of the Ye Family, was being treated like this by some barbaric half- sister. Even if Mango could put up with it, Charlotte could not.

"You stay there on the bed, leave this to me!"

"Charlotte!"

Charlotte immediately stood up just as Mango's guard slipped, and she headed for the door before she pulled it open roughly.

Meanwhile, Andrea nearly fell over as she did not expect the door to open. Next, Charlotte gave her a firm kick that sent her flying.

"What are you hollering about? Are you insane? This is a hospital, not your home, so you'd better watch your d*mn manners!"

Ever since Andrea was a child, she had been spoiled by her father, so she became furious when Charlotte kicked her as no one had ever treated her like that before. Moreover, Andrea's anger only increased when Charlotte called her insane and she stood up as she attempted to slap Charlotte.

"You b*tch! How dare you kick me?" However, Charlotte reacted faster than Andrea and she gave the spoiled girl a slap of her own. The slap was so hard that it made Andrea see stars.

"Kicking you was the least I could do! My sister is inside recovering from her injuries, so you should count yourself lucky that I didn't call the cops on you for being a public disturbance! Despite that, you still want to hit me? Well, I'd like to see you try!"

Charlotte put her hands on her hips in a threatening manner as she stared Andrea down.

Conversely, Andrea was royally pissed off since Charlotte had hit her twice.

"I'll kill you!"

As she spoke, Andrea immediately pounced on Charlotte.

Meanwhile, Dylan held Andrea back forcefully when he saw that her behaviour had crossed the line.

"Andrea, stop it! This isn't America, and it isn't your father's hospital as well! There will be consequences if you keep doing this!"

"Let go of me, Dylan!"

Andrea had never been treated like this, so she was so angry that she started flailing her legs around. Alas, Dylan's held her in a death grip, so Andrea couldn't reach Charlotte at all.

Then, Charlotte sneered at her and said, "You'd better count yourself lucky that a handsome man like him still likes a crazy b*tch like you. If I were you, I'd go home and learn some manners. If not, I'm afraid you'll drive away the last person that can stand you."

"You! I'll cut out your tongue! I'll kill you!"

Andrea was so livid that she was about to spit flame.

Usually, she was on the giving end of abuse. Now that she was on the other end, not only did Dylan not help her, he even held her back and this pissed her off to no end.

"Andrea, enough of this!"

An angry voice suddenly rang out across the corridor.

Then, Andrea's body froze and she stood there in shock.

Then, Charlotte looked over to find an elegantlooking older lady standing nearby with cold eyes as the lady observed the scene before her.

When Charlotte looked at Andrea and the other woman, she saw that Andrea had stood up timidly with tears in her eyes.

"Mom..."

"Don't call me that, I'm not going to acknowledge such a shameful creature like you as my daughter!"

Queena was so furious that her body was trembling.

She never expected Andrea to come all the way here just to kick up a fuss. More importantly, she was doing it in front of Mango's room. NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.

Furthermore, Queena knew exactly what Mango was going through right now.

Back in the United States, Andrea nearly killed Mango and here she was causing a ruckus when Mango needed peace and quiet. Hence, Queena was infuriated.

Meanwhile, Charlotte immediately understood Queena's identity the moment Andrea referred to Queena as her mother.

After closer observation, Charlotte noticed that Queena looked quite similar to how Mango did before her plastic surgery.

But how could such an elegant and poised woman raise such a barbaric daughter?

Since Charlotte was not one for staying silent, she decided to voice out her thoughts.

"Ma'am, I'd appreciate it if you could control your daughter. I don't care how she acts at home, but she shouldn't cause such a commotion in public. This is obviously a hospital, and people need to recover properly in silence. Honestly, I think that she needs to learn some self-control."

"Shut up!"

Andrea wanted to murder Charlotte, but she didn't dare to act rashly in front of Queena. Hence, she could only glare at Charlotte.

However, Charlotte snorted coldly in reply and she completely ignored the murderous glint in Andrea's eyes.

By then, Queena's expression was very grim.

Although she didn't recognise Charlotte, she knew that the girl must be someone that Mango cared about as she had blocked Andrea from entering Mango's room.

As Queena thought of that, she softened her tone and said, "I'm sorry, young lady. I've failed as a mother, so you deserve my deepest apologies."

Queena bowed deeply towards Charlotte as she spoke, and her action startled Charlotte.

"Hey, hey, there's no need for that. I'm only looking out for my friend as she really needs to rest right now."

"Don't worry, I'll take my daughter away right now!"

Queena obviously knew that Mango was inside the room, so her gaze was chilly as she turned to look at Andrea.

Andrea shrunk back involuntarily and she said in an aggrieved tone, "I heard that you were here, so I decided to come and see you."

"Why aren't you leaving? Haven't you embarrassed yourself enough?"

With a huff, Queena turned around and left.

Then, Andrea quickly followed her mother, but she stopped and glared at Charlotte after a few steps. She said, "I'll remember you. We're not finished with this."

"Oh gosh, I'm so scared! You're terrifying!"

Charlotte acted as if she was terrified and mocked Andrea in a high- pitched wail, which nearly made Andrea pounce on her, Queena be d*mned.

Alas, Andrea didn't do it in fear of angering Queena, so she left after she gave Charlotte another glare.

Meanwhile, Dylan glanced at Charlotte briefly and left without saying anything else.

After that, Charlotte gave a cold snort and closed the door right away.

Mango heard everything the commotion from inside the room, and she shook her head upon Charlotte's return. "Why did you piss her off? Andrea has been spoiled since birth, so she's extremely petty. She might come back and take revenge because you offended her today."

"I'm not scared of her! She can come at me if she has the guts!"

Charlotte poured herself a glass of water before she said, "Honestly, that barbaric half- sister of yours deserves a punishment. Look at her, she thinks she owns the world! What is her problem!?"

"Hey, stop being so mad. Don't hold it against her, I'd rather have one less thing to worry about."

Right now, Mango was a little tired.

After that, Charlotte helped her lie down on the bed and she whispered, "Don't worry, I won't let anything bother you as long as I'm here."

"Mhmm, I believe you."

"Just sleep for a bit. I'll be here until Nathaniel comes back."

"All right."

Mango was very weak, so she was worn out after speaking just a few sentences.

Then, she slowly closed her eyes and fell asleep quickly.

Meanwhile, Charlotte reflected on her actions and she noted that she might've been rather hasty just now. If Andrea came back again, it might affect Mango's recovery.

As the thought crossed her mind, Charlotte picked up the phone and called Nathaniel to tell him about the incident earlier.

Nathaniel frowned lightly as he listened, then he asked Charlotte to take care of Mango before he hung up the phone.

It didn't take long before Nathaniel returned and he lowered his voice to speak to Charlotte since Mango was sleeping soundly, "Please help Mango pack up her stuff, well be leaving immediately."

"Right now? Can Mango's body handle that?"

Charlotte was rather worried, and she also felt remorseful for her reckless behaviour earlier.

If she had spoken to Andrea properly, maybe things wouldn't have turned out so badly.

Alas, her fiery temper was to blame for all of this.

However, Nathaniel did not blame Charlotte for anything and he replied, "I went to ask the doctor just now, and he said that Mango is very weak and she needs rest. She'll need to come back for a checkup later on. So, we can leave now, and I asked Thomas to clean up the beachside villa for us. Well be moving there since it's private and quiet, plus I think the scenery would be good for Mango."

As he spoke, he gently picked up Mango in his arms.

After Charlotte heard what Nathaniel had to say, she quickly packed up Mango's things and followed him out of the ward.

Since Andrea was distracted by Queena for now, now was the best time to leave the hospital because she wouldn't be back anytime soon.

Nathaniel carried Mango to the car and said to Charlotte, "Can I trust your driving skills?"

"What do you mean by that? Mr. Ye, do you think that only rich people like you know how to drive?"

Charlotte really couldn't stand Nathaniel's tone.

However, Nathaniel just replied, "Then show me how well you drive. I've sent you the address, so you can just put that into the GPS and start the journey. Thomas will be there to welcome us."

At first, Charlotte wanted to retort but she rolled up the window at the sight of Mango sleeping soundly. "You'd better hold on tight to her, I don't think it's a good idea for her to catch a cold."

"Got it."

Both of them were deeply concerned about Mango, so naturally, they wouldn't argue with each other here.

After Charlotte saw that Nathaniel was firmly seated inside the car, she twisted the ignition and pressed on the accelerator as she drove out of the hospital.
