The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)

Chapter 389

Madam Hans was frightened when she saw that Andrea had fainted. She quickly reached out for something to wrap Andrea in before she had someone to take her to the hospital.

After a thorough examination from the doctor, Andrea was found to have suffered from vaginal tearing. Hence, she needed to rest for a few days as she'd passed out from extreme agitation. Belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

Madam Hans was heartbroken for her and stayed by Andrea's side almost all the time.

After Nathaniel left the hotel, he went straight to find Dylan and beat him up without another word.

On the other hand, Dylan didn't fight back as he knew that he'd been used. He just allowed Nathaniel to vent his anger.

When Nathaniel was tired from the fight, he said, "Go back to America. There's no point for you to stay."

He was driving Dylan away!

Thus, Dylan was both shocked and hurt.

They had been best friends for many years and he was reluctant to have their friendship be over just cause of this incident.

"Nathaniel, I know that this is all my fault. I've been used. You need to believe that I never wanted to hurt you. Plus, don't you know what kind of person I am after so many years of being friends?"

"I know and that's why I'm asking you to go. If it were anyone else, I would have killed them long ago. Do you know what Andrea did to me? She stripped me naked and laid next to me. She even called the reporters to come. You should know that Mango has gone into hiding somewhere after her nude photos were leaked, so how am I going to explain this to her if she were to see it? Would

she believe me? If it wasn't for your sake, Andrea wouldn't be alive today. I've tolerated her enough, Dylan, but you were blinded by your feelings for her."

Nathaniel's words stunned Dylan to the core.

He had his suspicions, but he still couldn't believe that it was the truth.

How could that be?

How could a good woman like Andrea do such a thing?

But, would a good person ever do something like that?

She knew that Dylan had feelings for her, but she still used him to hurt Nathaniel. Hence, was he blinded to Andrea's nature all these years, or did she hide it too well?

"Is there anything else I don't know?"

"See for yourself!"

Then, Nathaniel tossed the USB drive in his hand to Dylan.

He was pissed, but he didn't want Dylan to keep being deceived by this woman. At least that would avoid the situation from getting worse.

Meanwhile, Dylan's hands trembled and he was even reluctant to open the file. However, there were some things that he needed to face.

Then, he took the USB and inserted it into his phone. He then saw how Andrea entered the hospital and tried to kill Queena, and that made his expression shift.

"She told me that Mango was the one who wanted to kill Aunt Xiao, but why..."

"Mango killing Queena? What else has she said about Mango? I'm not sure what you see in this two-faced b*tch. Dylan, I'm sending you away only because you've left me no choice, and also because I don't want you to keep being used by her. I don't want you to interfere in the issue between Andrea and I. If not, we can't be friends anymore."

After that, Nathaniel stood up and left.

However, Dylan couldn't help but ask, "Can I ask what you did to her?"

"I have done nothing yet except have the media report that she tried to seduce me. If there were any adult film production companies that are interested in her, I'll definitely support her career. Why? Is there something else you want to do?"

"No, I was just asking. But I've given up all hopes on her. Even when this happened, she didn't call me for help which just shows how inconsequential I am to her. Honestly, I grew up with her, and yet I failed to see her true colours. Not only that, I even fell in love with her. Gosh, I must be blind. No matter what you do next time, I won't interfere with your decision. My father always wanted me to take over his position, but I kept putting it off for some worthless woman. Now, I don't have any reason to reject him anymore. From now on, I want nothing to do with her. But Nathaniel, I hope we can still be friends after all this."

Of course, he didn't want to let go of Nathaniel who was his best friend.

No one could understand the friendship that was borne out of fighting together in the trenches.

This friendship was solid, and Dylan trusted Nathaniel with his life. Now that they were at odds because of a woman, Dylan was ashamed to face his friend.

Nathaniel didn't reply but he was actually quite reluctant to part with Dylan as well. Perhaps he wouldn't have been so extreme if it didn't concern Mango.

"Let's talk about it next time. Safe travels and sorry I can't send you off. I'm too busy."

"No, you can handle your own issues here. I can find my own way home."

Dylan's trip to Ocean City was filled with sorrow.

After that, he cleaned himself up before he hailed a cab to the airport. He no longer had any reason to stay.

At first, he'd wanted to seek Andrea out and avenge Nathaniel, but he decided not to interfere since Nathaniel had his own plans. After all, Andrea would get what was coming to her.

Nathaniel finally heaved a sigh of relief when Dylan left.

Next, he returned to the hotel as he decided to take Andrea away. However, he heard that Madam Hans was there first and she'd picked

Andrea up instead.

Nathaniel sneered.

Sure enough, Andrea still had someone she could use!

No wonder she didn't go and seek out Dylan for help. Clearly, Madam Hans was far more useful than he was in Ocean City.

However, Nathaniel couldn't be bothered to care about Andrea so he just returned home.

At home, Zion looked at Nathaniel with concern and said, "Have you found her?"

Hence, Nathaniel knew that Zion had received news as to what was going on when he asked that question.

Then, Nathaniel pulled Zion into the house and asked in a hushed tone, "Other than you and grandma, does Rita and Wisdom know about this?"

"I don't know, but I doubt that we can hide it for much longer. Grandma has banned everyone from watching the television and it's making people suspicious."

Zion's words made Nathaniel feel a little sad.

"Sorry, I haven't found your mommy but don't worry, I will keep looking. Your mother is smart so she'll be just fine."

"Have you found out who was trying to hurt mommy?"

Nathaniel shook his head.

He had no clue at all.

That night, no one in the Ye Family slept well.

The day after, news of Andrea's failed attempt at seducing Nathaniel, and his intention to contract her to some adult film companies spread all over Ocean City.

Mango's hands couldn't help but tremble when she saw this news.

The sight of Andrea and Nathaniel naked on the bed was absolutely jarring to her.

A deep ache resonated throughout her chest and it hurt badly.

She'd only been gone for a day, yet Nathaniel and Andrea had already slept together?

Even if it was all Andrea's plan, Mango still couldn't accept it.

Why did it have to be Andrea?

Nathaniel knew that Andrea had ill intentions for him, but why did he still fall into his trap?

Hence, Mango felt as if her entire world was collapsing.

Was this because Nathaniel hated her because of those photos?

Then, Mango's mind started to run uncontrollably wild.

No!

No, that couldn't be it!

She had to be overthinking it!

However, the scenes that kept popping up in her mind were unbearable.

When Walter arrived with food for Mango, he was distressed to see her like this. He said, "This could all have been a misunderstanding. I heard that those reporters were tipped off, so it could have been planned. So, maybe Nathaniel was tricked."

"Nathaniel is extremely sly, so how could he have been tricked?"

Mango's voice was weak and she felt sapped of all her strength.

She felt light- headed and her vision was blurry.

"Mango, I don't know Andrea very well, but she must have some smarts as to successfully trick Nathaniel. Don't overthink it, okay? Even if he wanted to look for another woman, he wouldn't do it so openly. Furthermore, this was obviously against his will."

Despite Walter's comforting words, Mango did not feel any better.

No one else knew that Nathaniel would rather take medicine to make himself impotent than to touch her but she didn't want to tell anyone about that. Now that something like this had occurred, it would be strange for Mango not to be upset.

"Let's not talk about him. Is there any other news from the outside?"

"Same old thing. So far Andrea's scandal has taken the focus off of you somewhat, but it's only temporary. You know the public just takes Andrea as entertainment."

In other words, it meant that Andrea's scandal would blow over and by then everyone's attention would be back on her again.

Hence, Mango felt a splitting headache coming on. Her head might just explode soon.

Then, she rubbed her temples and tried to soothe the ache.

"What's wrong?"

Only then did Walter realise that there was something wrong with Mango. Her complexion was far too ruddy compared to normal.

Then, he hurriedly reached out and touched Mango's forehead. It was burning hot.

"A fever? Mango, did you know that you're having a fever?"

So it turned out to be a fever!

No wonder she felt so uncomfortable!

Then, she smiled weakly and replied, "It's fine, it's just a fever."

"Just a fever? What else do you want it to be? Come on, I'll take you to the hospital!"

As he spoke, Walter reached over to Mango but she stopped him.

"I can't show myself in public right now. If we go to the hospital, you'll be plastered in the headlines as well."

"Well, I don't care! I've never had a good reputation anyway, so what am I afraid of? And how could you just dismiss your fever? What if something happens to you?"

Walter would never agree to Mango's lack of concern for her own health no matter what.

Then, Mango waved her hand and said, "I really can't leave because I haven't found the mastermind behind all this. It would all be for naught if I show up now. Just get me some medicine. I'll be better after some pills and a good night's sleep."

"You... don't you cherish your own health! The pills can't do much!"

Walter was anxious but he couldn't do anything as Mango was so stubborn. Furthermore, she was right. It wasn't a good time for her to make a public appearance.
