The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)

Chapter 381

When Rita heard Madam Ye say that good children should learn from their mistakes, she immediately brought her to the greenhouse and pointed at the old lady's favourite peonies. Then, she said, "I did that because I was too angry just now."

At first, Madam Ye didn't think that there was anything wrong with the flowers, but after careful inspection, she realised that Rita had plucked off all the roots before she surreptitiously placed them back into the soil.

It seemed fine at first glance, but peonies were delicate flowers. How could they survive such harsh treatment?

Furthermore, these were her favorite pots of peonies.

Gosh, Madam Ye was extremely hurt!

"Grandma, you said that good children should learn from their mistakes. Now I know that what I did was wrong, so please don't get angry at me okay?"

It was impossible to get mad at Rita when she blinked her innocent eyes, but those were Madam Ye's flowers!

Oh, how her heart ached!

"No, Rita, why did you uproot my flowers when you were angry with your daddy?"

Madam Ye really couldn't understand the logic behind this.

Then, Rita replied awkwardly, "I wanted to bring daddy here later and tell you that he did it. After that, you'll punish him for it."

Madam Ye was flabbergasted at the little girl's explanation.

What kind of logic was that?

"Do you think that you're smart enough to trick your father?"

"Daddy loves me very much, so he'll definitely bring me here if I said so. When the time comes, I'll just say that he did it."

Truth be told, Madam Ye really wanted to slap Rita in the face after hearing her explanation.

What possessed her to do this?

Nathaniel and Rita's row had caused the death of her beloved flowers, which broke her heart.

"Grandma, are you mad at me?"

Then, Rita tugged at Madam Ye's sleeve with an innocent look on her face.

God, what could the old lady say?

That she was heartbroken?

What could a four-year-old like Rita know?

Next, Madam Ye sighed and replied, "You're not allowed to use my flowers to vent your anger anymore, got it?"

"Got it."

After that, Rita let out a long sigh of relief.

Fortunately, her grandmother was not angry.

Then, she stuck out her tongue behind Madam Ye's back and disappeared from the greenhouse.

Meanwhile, Madam Ye was heartbroken when she realised that her peonies were doomed, and she had some servants throw them out.

When Nathaniel and Mango left their room, they managed to spot the servants throwing out the peonies.

Mango still remembered that she'd just loosened the soil for those flowers not long ago, so she couldn't help but ask about what happened.

"What's wrong with the flowers? Why are you throwing them out?"

"Mrs. Ye, these flowers are dead because Miss Rita had uprooted them. Hence, Madam Ye asked us to throw them out. Oh dear, she was heartbroken!"

After they heard what the servant said, Mango and Nathaniel shared a look because they didn't really believe that Rita had done it.

"Are you saying that Rita did this?"

"That's right. Miss Rita intended to frame Mr. Ye for the deed, but she became guilty after he got injured. So, she willingly admitted her mistake to Madam Ye. Thus, Madam Ye decided not to punish Miss Rita since she was so forthcoming, and that's the end of it."

Then, the corners of Nathaniel's mouth twitched.

"You're saying that my daughter was trying to frame me? Why would I ever do something so foolish?"

"Hey, that's enough."

Hence, Mango felt that Nathaniel was placing too much emphasis on the wrong thing.

"Let's replace those flowers for mom as they were her favourite. As for your daughter, since when has she become so mischievous?"

In fact, Mango felt that Rita was quite an obedient child, so she never expected her to do such a thing. Alas, children would still be children!

"Got it."

Truth be told, Nathaniel was somewhat speechless.

After that, all of them moved to the dining room just as Nick and Wisdom returned, and Rita was especially glad to see Wisdom.

"Gosh, I've missed you so much, Wisdom!"

After that, she gave Wisdom a big hug.

On the other hand, Wisdom was so happy that he was grinning from ear to ear as he stroked Rita's head, "I heard that you went to the amusement park?"

"Yup, but it's a pity that you couldn't come. Let's all go together next time, yeah?"

"That's a good idea!"

Wisdom quickly agreed to her suggestion.

However, Zion seemed worried when he came down the stairs.

"Hey boss, you'll be staying here for a few days right?"

It could be seen that Wisdom enjoyed his time with Zion.

After that, Zion looked at Nathaniel for an answer.

Nathaniel smiled and said, "Well, I'm sure that you can stay over here for a few more days and play with Rita."

"All right."

It was rare for Zion not to retort, which confused Wisdom.

"Boss, what seems to be the matter?"

"Okay then, let's eat!"

Obviously Zion didn't want to say anything else, lest his stupid mistake gets revealed to Wisdom.

Then, the entire family sat down to have a good meal.

After that, Mango went upstairs to rest as she wasn't feeling too well, and Madam Ye left for the greenhouse because she was still upset about the flowers.

Meanwhile, Nathaniel and Nick sat and talked about the company in the living room.

While everything was going swimmingly over at the Ye Family, Andrea was the complete opposite.

Originally, she'd thought that using Dylan to break her out would be a good idea, but she didn't expect him to find her.

"Where have you been, Andrea? You disappeared when I came back, you..."

"Can't I go for a walk? I'm not your prisoner, so why do you insist on locking me up?"

In fact, Andrea had no idea whether or not Queena was truly dead, nor did she know how the Hans Family was going to react. Thus, it frustrated her to no end and naturally, she couldn't keep up the affectionate act with Dylan.

Meanwhile, Dylan panicked when he saw how annoyed Andrea was.

"It wasn't my intention to lock you up, but it's unsafe for you out there. I'm worried if you go out alone, so you should tell me in advance so I can take you there."

"Can't I just be alone?"

Then, Andrea shut the door on Dylan because she was extremely frustrated.

What had happened to Queena?

Did they manage to save her?

Fear crept into her mind as she had never killed anyone before.

Then, she curled up on the bed as she pulled the quilt over herself. Nevertheless, she couldn't help but tremble in fear.

She'd already turned off all the surveillance cameras, so she would be fine, right?

After that, Andrea spent the whole night in trepidation before she went to the hospital the next morning for information.

Dylan had wanted to follow her, but Andrea drove him away.

The two of them quarreled for a moment, but Andrea still managed to get rid of him and she went to the hospital alone.

Before this, she had bribed a nurse in the hospital to do her bidding, so she called on that nurse now.

"How's it going? What's the situation now?"

"Queena was saved, but I heard that someone had installed another camera inside the ward and they said that they caught the culprit red-handed. Furthermore, Mrs. Ye has turned over the evidence to Madam Hans. However, I'm not really sure what happened next as I'm not privy to the matters in the Hans Family. I only heard that Queena's left the house for good, and Madam Hans was pissed with Mrs. Ye over this issue. I don't know anything other than that."

Andrea frowned slightly at the nurse's words.

So, Queena was actually still alive?

However, at least she was smart enough to leave Ocean City. If not, Andrea would not be so merciful the next time Queena got in her way.

Then, did it mean that Madam Hans knows what she did to Queena?

Mango Shen, that despicable woman!

It turned out that Mango was a superior strategist as she'd prepared a camera to videotape Andrea.

What should she do now?

What if Mango handed the evidence over to the police?

Now that Madam Hans was disappointed in her, Andrea didn't know whether or not the old lady would help her.

What should she do now?

Then, Andrea suddenly became anxious.

There were few people who could help her.

Alas, she was reluctant to go back to the United States now.

Just when Andrea was trying to figure out what she should do next, a woman blocked her path.

"Do you want to stop Mango from filing a lawsuit against you and ruin her reputation at the same time? I have a good idea for how to do that, so why don't we work together?"

Andrea couldn't help but frown when she saw the woman in front of her.

"Who are you?"

"You don't have to worry about that. You'll be fine as long as you work together with me, plus I'm sure that Madam Hans will continue to help you. The rest is up to you. If you don't work with me, Mango might turn the video over to the police tomorrow, and you won't even have a chance to escape anymore. Also, the Hans Family has cut ties with Mango because of you, so don't you think that it's a good opportunity for you?"

Andrea's eyes lit up as soon as the woman said that.

"Are you saying that Madam Hans cut ties with Mango over me?"

"That's right, so you still hold a place in Madam Hans' heart. It's all up to you now. If everything goes well, you might actually become the Hans Family's adopted daughter and have all the glory that comes with it, and you'll cause Mango immeasurable pain. If you don't work with me, then there's no loss to me as well. All you can do is watch as Mango enjoys the protection of the Ye Family and lives a better life than you."

"Say no more, I'll do it."

Andrea felt uncomfortable when she heard that Mango would lead a better life than her.

How could their lives be so different when they had the same mother?

Furthermore, Andrea coveted Nathaniel, who was currently by Mango's side.

After that, the woman smiled and handed some things over to Andrea before she whispered, "Find a way to publish these and I guarantee you that Mango won't have time to investigate your attempted murder of Queena anymore."

Obviously, Andrea was curious, so she opened it up to take a look at them. Then, her expression evolved into one of shock.

"How did you get these?"

"Don't you worry about that. I'll be in contact with you."

After that, the woman turned and disappeared into the crowd.

Andrea looked at the things in her hands and smirked wickedly.

She could already envision Mango's reputation being thrown down the gutter.

Mango Shen!

"If I fail to defeat you, then I'll definitely kneel to you!"

Then, she quickly put the things away before she looked around. When she realised no one had witnessed what had happened, she hurriedly left the scene.

By the time Dylan found Andrea again, she was crying by the roadside so pathetically that it broke his heart.

"Andrea, what's wrong?"

"Mango wanted to kill my mother! Hence, the Hans Family cut ties with her when someone witnessed the incident, and my mom ran away because she was too depressed by what happened. Now, no one knows where she is. Dylan, why is life so hard for me? Where is my mom? Is she okay?"

Then, Andrea suddenly burst into tears and fell into Dylan's embrace. Her words stunned him into silence. Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

Mango tried to kill Queena?

That's impossible!
