The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)

Chapter 384

Who had such a deep grudge against her? How could they frame her like this?

Alas, Mango couldn't figure it out, nor was it the right time to do so.

Then, she looked at Walter coldly and said, "Do you still think of me as your friend? Or do you think that I'm dirty too?"

"No, I believe that those photos aren't you. I really believe that you're not that kind of person."

Walter suddenly felt distressed when he looked at Mango.

This was the first time that he'd ever seen Mango so dispirited. In the past, she always had a smile on her face no matter what she faced. Only now did he realise that she was just an ordinary woman, and she had been shamed into submission.

Thus, he really wanted to hug and comfort Mango properly, but he did not dare to do so. He knew that he didn't have the rights to do that and Mango would probably never forgive him if he touched her.

After that, Walter gave her a cautious glance.

Mango thought for a moment before she said, "I need a place to stay temporarily for a few days. Except for you, no one can know about my whereabouts."

"Not even Nathaniel?"

"No, especially him. I don't want to see him anytime soon."

Walter wanted to reply to Mango's statement, but the look on her face made him shut up.

No matter what, Mango still trusted him. At this point, the way she asked him for a place to stay showed how desperate she was.

Truth be told, Walter was very upset, but he nodded quickly and said, "I have a nice place in mind, but it's in a shady neighbourhood. No one will ever think that you would be there."

"Let's go there then."

She didn't really have the rights to call herself pure and noble at that moment.

Hence, Mango only hoped that she could hide from Nathaniel there.

In fact, the last person she wanted to see right now was Nathaniel.

Then, Walter nodded quickly and said, "Are we going now or later?"

"Now."

Mango couldn't afford to wait any longer.

She couldn't go home because she had no idea if the Ye Mansion would be surrounded by the media.

When she thought of Madam Ye, who loved her dearly and taught her a lot of life lessons, she felt quite sorry for her actions. Alas, leaving the Ye Family was the only way that she could stop them from being involved.

Furthermore, Nathaniel's public marriage proposal in front of the entire Ocean City was organized by Madam Ye. However, the pride and happiness she'd felt earlier now melted into despair.

Then, Mango stood up from the floor and glanced at Walter before she asked, "Do you have a printer here?"

"Yeah!"

"Take me to it."

Walter obediently followed Mango's every command, and he was deathly afraid that something would happen to her.

There was something very wrong with her today, but he didn't understand what.

Despite the incessant ringing of Walter's phone, he still ignored it as all his attention was focused on Mango.

After that, Mango walked to the computer and opened up a blank document before she started typing a divorce agreement.

On the other hand, Walter was shocked when he saw the document.

"Mango, what are you doing? What problems are you facing that you need to file for divorce?"

"Are you afraid Nathaniel will cause trouble for you?"

Mango's voice was as calm as at a stagnant pool of water, which distressed Walter even more.

It seemed like the lively, bubbly Mango from the past was lost forever.

Hence, Walter felt quite upset.

He would rather have the old Mango back even if she wasn't by his side. It was way better to deal with seeing her happy with Nathaniel, instead of seeing this broken shell of a woman that she'd become.

"I'm not afraid at all! Nathaniel's been picking a fight with me for a long time, so what do I have to be afraid of? Furthermore, he wouldn't do anything to me, but I'm just worried about you. Mango, life is too hard to be spent alone, you know? What's going on that you need to file for divorce? Do you think that Nathaniel will agree to this?"

"It's not up to him to disagree."

Mango's heart was ripped to shreds and her entire body started to quiver.

"Those photos are plastered all over the internet, and I'm sure the entire Ocean City has seen it. I've been labelled as a whore. If I don't divorce him, what will happen to the Ye Family? What will happen to my children? I won't implicate anyone else as long as I divorce him!"

Hence, Mango's words stunned Walter.

"How is that possible? Nathaniel deleted all those photos, so how did they get posted online? Who did this?"

"I'll tear whoever did this into pieces!" Belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

Then, Mango's eyes narrowed and anger flashed across her eyes.

Before Walter could say anything else, Mango had started to draft the divorce agreement once again.

Meanwhile, Nathaniel received Thomas' call while he was speaking to Noah.

"Mr. Ye, I have bad news. Something terrible has happened."

"What's wrong? Why are you so flustered despite working for me throughout the years? Is the sky falling? Why are you so panicked?"

Nathaniel was in a good enough mood to joke with Thomas, and he even stretched lazily after he finished speaking to Noah.

Upon hearing Nathaniel's words, Thomas replied anxiously, "Mr. Ye, you need to get on the computer now. I think all the media platforms in Ocean City is about to collapse."

"What's the matter?"

Although he asked the question, he still opened the search engine's front page and he narrowed his eyes when he saw the news plastered across.

"What's going on? Didn't I ask you to keep an eye on the media? How did this get exposed?"

Nathaniel panicked instantly.

Then, Thomas replied worriedly, "Yes, I did, but this came from a foreign province instead of Ocean City, so..."

"Stop talking and deal with the public relations department, quick!"

Then, Nathaniel quickly hung up the phone.

Where was Mango?

Had she seen this as well?

"Mango!"

Nathaniel frantically sprinted to the bedroom, but there was no trace of her inside. There was only an open computer, and it told Nathaniel that Mango had discovered everything.

What was he going to do now?

Where could she have went?

Then, Nathaniel started to lose his composure.

He quickly threw on a coat and ran downstairs.

The moment he arrived at the bottom of the stairs, he was greeted by Madam Ye's grim expression.

"How could such a thing happen? Where is Mango? How is she doing? I don't think she'll be able to deal with this very well."

Nathaniel became even more worried when he heard what Madam Ye had said.

"I was in the study and I didn't pay much attention to her. Now that she's gone, I have no idea where she is."

"Then why are you still standing there? Go and look for her! Now that everyone knows who she is, what's going to happen if she runs into a bad person? If she can't think this through, then..."

The more Madam Ye spoke, the more fearful she became.

At the same time, fear gripped Nathaniel's heart as well.

"I'll go and search for her right now. As for the kids..." "I'll look after the kids. Hurry up and go!"

After Madam Ye gave the order, Nathaniel didn't say anything else and rushed out of the Ye's Mansion.

However, tons of reporters surrounded him as soon as he left the mansion.

"Mr. Ye, are the pictures online true?"

"Mr. Ye, does Mrs. Ye have any comment on what had happened?"

Nathaniel was clearly pissed, and it didn't help when he saw the hoard of reporters.

"Get lost! This is clearly a case of slander against Mrs. Ye, and I swear that the Ye Family will not rest until we find the culprit! By then, I hope that the person behind this will be ready to face the Ye Family's wrath!"

As soon as Nathaniel said this, everyone around him fell silent.

Who did not know the power of the Ye Family?

They were the most powerful family in the entire city.

They could easily send the entire city into an uproar.

It was almost impossible to find any news on the Ye Family.

Now that Nathaniel was livid, no one knew what his anger could wreak upon the city.

Hence, the reporters couldn't help but cower in fear.

Then, Nathaniel drove away quickly but he had no idea where to find Mango.

After that, he went to the Shen Family home, only to find that they were also hounded by reporters.

It took Nathaniel a great effort to get past the crowd.

However, Mrs. Shen trembled in fear when she saw Nathaniel.

"What the hell is going on? The Shen Family are comprised of scholars and artists, and Mango would never do such a thing because she's a good girl! How could this happen?"

"Don't worry mom, I'll investigate this thoroughly. Now, I want to know if Mango is here."

Nathaniel's words caused Mrs. Shen to become nervous.

"What do you mean? Is Mango gone? Wasn't she with you at the Ye Family mansion ?"

"Yeah, but I was in the study and I couldn't find her when the news broke. I'm afraid that something might have happened to her, so..."

Since Mango wasn't here, where could she have gone?

"She doesn't have many places that she can go to. Have you asked Rainie? That girl is Mango's best friend."

"I'll go now, but mom, dad, both of you should follow me back to the Ye's Mansion. These reporters won't dare to do anything there, and I'm worried about your safety if you stay here."

Nathaniel was afraid that something might happen to Mr. and Mrs. Shen. The reporters would do anything for a scoop, and leaving two elderly people in the house would be a bad idea.

However, Mr. Shen shook his head and replied, "Don't worry, we can hold our own here. At the very most, we can choose to stay at home. However, Mango is easily embarrassed, and I'm scared that she's going to be heavily affected by this. Nathan, no matter what, you need to find Mango. Please give us a call once you find her so we can have some peace of mind."

"Yes, dad, I will!"

Nathaniel left the house after that, but he was still worried about them. Thus, he hired a few bodyguards to look after them.

Just as Nathaniel was searching for Mango, she released the divorce agreement online. The statement caused an uproar in Ocean City and it attracted all of the media's attention.

"Mr. Ye, Mrs. Ye wants a divorce. She doesn't want anything from you, including the children."

Thomas' call nearly caused Nathaniel to drive straight into a ditch.
