The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)

Chapter 391

Then, Mango suddenly stood up.

This news was too much of a blow for her.

Walter hadn't expected her to be calm, but he didn't expect her to be this agitated either.

"Calm down. Sit and listen to me."

"How do you expect me to sit still? What the heck is going on?"

Mango asked Walter right away.

Then, he sighed and said, "This might not be an attempt to slander Nathaniel. It's not something to be proud of and the Hans Family has stopped all information from leaking to the public. It was just that Madam Hans is furious and she kept yelling by Andrea's bed every day. I heard from Andrea's private nurse that her injuries were very serious. She can't possibly do that to herself just to slander Nathaniel, right? That's way too extreme."

Mango immediately became nervous once Walter said this.

She could tell herself that everything was part of Andrea's trick which was all for show and Nathaniel hadn't slept with her. But what was this?

Andrea couldn't have hurt herself so badly. Furthermore, no matter how ruthless she was, she would never do this to herself.

Moreover, Madam Hans had already sent her people out to block the news from spreading so that meant this information was reliable.

Pain ripped through Mango's chest as she fell back onto the bed.

She couldn't believe that Nathaniel and Andrea really did it.

Did Andrea drug Nathaniel?

No, it couldn't be!

Previously she'd also drugged him, but he didn't have much of a reaction.

Didn't Noah say that Nathaniel wouldn't be able to have sex for a month after taking that medicine?

If so, how could he have raped Andrea?

"No way! Nathaniel couldn't have done it! It's impossible!"

Mango suddenly shouted and her confident tone caused Walter to sigh.

"I know it's hard for you to accept it, Mango but it's the truth and I have no reason to lie to you. Madam Hans will definitely crush Nathaniel. Only the nurses assigned to Andrea's ward knew about this, and they've been forced into silence. If it wasn't Nathaniel, then why would the Hans Family badmouth him?"

Walter's words caused Mango to shake her head.

"What did Andrea say?"

"Nothing, she just cried like it was the only thing she knew how to do. She even fainted multiple times and looked really devastated."

After Walter finished speaking, Mango still shook her head and said, "It can't be Nathaniel. Even if Andrea had been raped, it wasn't Nathaniel who did it!"

"How can you be so sure that? No man is that virtuous, and even if Nathaniel was, I don't believe that he could keep his wits after Andrea drugged him."

"If I said no, then it means no!"

At this point, Mango was about to start a full on argument with Walter.

Next, Walter hurriedly placated Mango when he saw how angry she was. "All right, whatever you say. Don't be mad okay? Since you said it wasn't him, then I won't say anything else. Right now, Andrea doesn't have any contact with anyone else except for Madam Hans, so should we still keep an eye on her?"

"Yeah. No matter what, Andrea is our lead."

Nevertheless, Mango still had to remain calm.

However, Walter was puzzled when he saw this.

Shouldn't a woman be sad when she encountered something like this?

Furthermore, Mango and Nathaniel shared such a good relationship. After this incident, how could she still trust Nathaniel?

Or could it be that Mango had no choice but to comfort herself like this to be able to go on?

Truth be told, Walter did not understand, nor did he dare to ask. He just felt that Mango was no ordinary woman. It wasn't a surprise that he fell for her!

It was a pity that this woman did not belong to him!

D*mn it!

Walter sighed again.

Then, Mango just glanced at him and didn't say anything else.

Just as they were making plans, the Ye Family was thrown into a literal disarray by the news.

As soon as it was released, Madam Ye was the first one to explode.

"You'd better tell me what the hell is going on!"

After that, Madam Ye immediately threw the newspaper in Nathaniel's face.

Nathaniel knew that he wouldn't be able to avoid it this time so he explained everything to Madam Ye.

She frowned deeply after hearing the story.

"Why were you so careless? What will Mango think when she sees this piece of news?"

"She trusts me!"

Nathaniel's words caused Madam Ye to be so angry that she flicked him in the forehead.

"You're rather confident in yourself, aren't you? Do you think that a woman would use her rationality to deal with this? Furthermore, Mango hasn't been able to clear her name yet, so she must think that you did this out of spite."

Nathaniel became unsettled once he heard Madam Ye's words.

"But we've been together for years, so she should know what I'm like. Clearly, I'm not some playboy and I'm not that stupid to do it openly during this sensitive time. This is obviously a plot."

"If you're so right, then where did your intelligence go when you were tricked the first time? How could you not know you were being tricked? Well, now everyone in Ocean City knows that you slept with Andrea, and yet you still arrogantly boasted about womanizing? Gosh, you're truly a piece of work. Let me tell you, the Ye Family will only recognise Mango as my daughter- in- law! Also, what were you thinking when you refused to reply to Mango's divorce agreement? Do you really believe that she cheated on you? Are you really going to divorce her?"

The more Madam Ye spoke, the angrier she became.

She used to worry about Nathaniel the least, but when had he become so mentally challenged?

Nathaniel could hear the anxiety in Madam Ye's tone, so he hurriedly replied, "Why would I divorce her? But I think that Mango asked for a divorce and hid herself because she's trying to distance herself from our family and our children. She probably wants to find the mastermind behind all this on her own."

"Are we that afraid of scandals and troubles? Is it really our style to let a woman suffer through this on her own? What, do you intend to go along with what she wants? I'm warning you, Nathaniel Ye, if you dare let go of her or let her do this alone, I will evict you from this house."

Then, Nathaniel burst into laughter after he heard Madam Ye's words.

"God, you still have the nerve to laugh! Look at what you've done. How will you explain to Zion when he finds out?"

"Mom, why do I feel like you're Mango's mom instead of mine?"

"Ugh, get lost!"

Madam Ye was so angry that she slumped into a chair.

"Mango has led a miserable life this far, and it hasn't been easy for her. She's suffered too much grievance because she was married to you, and do you think giving birth to your children was easy? Now that she's gotten some well-deserved peace, the Hans Family treats her like she's disposable. Honestly, I don't think she would've been able to handle it if she were any other woman. Who else does she have except you to care for her? If she lost you, what else does she have to live for? Nathan, being a woman is difficult, let alone being a woman who gives everything up for love. No matter what, we owe it to her. If not, would you have Zion and Rita? Would you have such a blissful life? Even if the pictures were real, it doesn't seem like Mango was conscious when they were taken. What does this mean? It means that Mango was brought away from right under our noses. Now, whose responsibility is that?"

Nathaniel's chest tightened when Madam Ye said that.

"That's impossible! Mango and I have always been together so there wasn't a moment where we were separated. How could she be kidnapped?"

"Then how did these photos come about? There's always a reason. If they were photoshopped, then why did both of you react so badly?" © NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

Nathaniel was shocked and he became unnerved.

"Those photos weren't fake, and I was mad because it really is Mango in those photos. When these photos first surfaced, I had investigated it but nothing came up."

"Think about it. When has Mango not been by your side? This was definitely premeditated. Thus, it must have taken quite some time to do this. However, you and Mango are basically attached at the hip, and there is little time where you two aren't together. If you omit those times, then I'm sure you'll find out when these photos were taken. The Ye Family has our own way of dealing with things, and we are not afraid nor will we let a woman handle everything on her own. Go and find Mango now. Other than that, you need to deal with Andrea."

Madam Ye's words gave Nathaniel the motivation to take action.

His mother was right!

Who aroused the most suspicion during the time that he and Mango weren't together?

Then, Nathaniel seemed to have an all-new lead. He suddenly stood and hugged Madam Ye.

"Mom, you're really our family's lucky charms. As long as you're there, we can do anything!"

"Instead of flattery, do well to settle this issue. As for Mango's divorce agreement, the press will think that you're actually divorcing her if you don't issue a reply. What if she runs into trouble?"

"I know, mom. My lack of a reply was on purpose. Don't worry, I'll go and make a statement later on that no matter where she goes, she'll always be a part of the Ye Family and no one can hurt her. Furthermore, she's my wife and I call the shots here."
