The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)

Chapter 394

"Quick, stop her!"

After Andrea bowed down to Madam Hans and said her last words, the old lady became extremely anxious. How could she bear to see such a good child die?

Thus, Madam Hans angrily went to stop Andrea when no one else moved.

Terrance was afraid that something would happen to Madam Hans so he had no choice but to get someone to help her.

Hence, Andrea was pulled back at the very last moment.

She could not help but let out a sigh of relief.

That was so close! Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

She was in fact quite scared and her entire body was drenched in sweat.

If Madam Hans hadn't pulled her back, she would have really jumped and everything would be over.

When Terrance saw Andrea's pale face, he angrily replied, "You'd better know your place. I don't care what you did before this, but from now on you represent the Hans Family. If I find out you did something that makes us look bad, I won't ever forgive you."

Once Madam Hans heard Terrance say this, she knew that he was compromising.

"Then?"

"Thank you, uncle."

Andrea called out to Terrance obediently.

However, Terrance felt that Andrea calling him uncle was particularly grating on the ears. It was much nicer to hear it from Mango.

Meanwhile, Andrea hugged Madam Hans and cried so hard that she ran out of breath.

Terrance was so pissed off at the close relationship they shared that he left the room in a hurry.

"What's going on? Tell me everything."

Terrance asked one of the servants who had worked for the Hans Family for a long time.

Then, the servant told Terrance about everything he had learned from Andrea and Madam Hans.

Terrance couldn't help but frown when he heard this.

"Nathaniel would never do such a thing. Has Andrea really been raped?"

"Yes, Madam Hans even sent her to the hospital personally. When we got there, she was naked and the doctor said that she'd experience severe tearing."

"Did you see Nathaniel do this with your own eyes?"

Terrance's words made the servant shake his head.

"Only Miss Yu was there when we arrived."

"So, who can prove that it was really Nathaniel who raped Andrea?"

Terrance's question stunned everyone.

"If you can't prove it's Nathaniel, how can you have the nerve to interrogate the Ye Family? Did you do a DNA test? Was there any evidence?"

The servant shook his head again.

Then, Terrance sneered and said, "You don't have any proof except for Andrea's words, and yet you want to accuse Nathaniel of doing this and demanding compensation from the Ye Family? Where did you find the nerve to do so? Do you think that the Ye Family are pushovers? My mother had gone senile from age, but have all of you gone crazy as well?"

Meanwhile, Madam Hans opened the door just in time to hear what Terrance said and she became furious.

"What do you mean by I've gone senile? Nathaniel and Andrea's scandal has spread all over Ocean City, and it's even in the papers. Plus, he even shamelessly admitted that he was womanizing, so can't you see the problem? Andrea was sobbing when she called me and when I arrived, she was already injured. Who could it be except for Nathaniel? Do you think it's possible that Andrea is trying to sabotage him?"

In fact, Madam Hans felt that Terrance was prejudiced against Andrea.

Terrance glanced at Andrea who was hiding behind Madam Hans and sneered. "Who knows? Only she knows whether she's trying to sabotage him."

"What do you mean, uncle? Do you think I'm that shameless as to go and seduce him? What good will it bring to me? Plus, Nathaniel isn't an ordinary man, so do you think I could trick him so easily?"

"Perhaps you thought that he was a good man earlier, and God knows what you've planned. Even if what you said was true, you brought it upon yourself. You knew that Nathaniel was in a foul mood, but why did you still go to him? Aren't you throwing yourself at him? Let's say that everything you said was true, then why didn't you leave proof when you were brought to the hospital? Nathaniel must have left some trace inside of you, right? If you had the proof, our family would support you if you demanded compensation from the Ye Family, or even sued them! But what do you have now?

Other than wild gossip in the papers, is there any evidence that you were raped by Nathaniel? How could you expect the Hans Family to go against the Ye Family without any solid evidence?"

Terrance asked them a series of questions which confused Madam Hans. Meanwhile, Andrea was stunned for a moment before she cried pitifully.

"Uncle, you mean that I brought this onto myself, and that I was unlucky right?"

"What else? Not many people know about this, and everyone outside just thinks you had a one- night stand with Nathaniel. I wouldn't care about whatever you did if you weren't part of the Hans Family, but now that you are, do you plan on dragging us all through the mud? You don't have any proof, and yet you want to drag the Ye Family into this mess. So, do you want to let the whole world know that the Hans Family's granddaughter has been raped by the son of the Ye Family?"

Terrance's words made Madam Hans come to her sense.

He was right!

They couldn't throw away the reputation of the Hans Family.

Andrea was pissed off beyond belief, but she could only cry sadly.

"If so, then I'd better die. What's the point of living like this? Now that everyone knows that I've slept with Nathaniel, who would marry me in the future?"

Madam Hans' heart ached when she saw Andrea crying.

"Terrance, how about this? Since Mango and Nathaniel have released a divorce statement and he's slept with Andrea, we can't openly seek compensation for them. So why not we become in-laws instead?"

Terrance burst into laughter when he heard Madam Hans' suggestion.

"Wow, so you're planning to marry your fake granddaughter into the Ye Family to replace your real granddaughter. Old lady, what a mind you have."

After he said that, Terrance could no longer stay and he left the hospital immediately.

"Grandma, uncle hates me."

Andrea cried even more sadly as she spoke.

Then, Madam Hans quickly tried to comfort her.

"Well, he is biased, but what he said is right. However, since that rascal from the Ye Family has tainted your innocence, I will definitely discuss this with the Ye Family. No matter what, Nathaniel will take responsibility for what he did."

Andrea finally stopped crying after she heard Madam Hans' words.

"You're the one who loves me the most, grandma."

"Silly girl, if I didn't, who would?"

Then, Madam Hans embraced Andrea. She completely missed the smirk on Andrea's face.

Terrance felt a terrible ache in his chest after he left the hospital.

"Where's Nathaniel?"

"I heard that he's in the casino."

"What?"

Terrance thought that he had misheard and could not help but ask again.

"Where is he?"

"The Luxumber Casino. Mr. Ye has been frequenting casinos lately, and word is that he's lost a lot of money."

The servant's words caused Terrance to have a headache.

It had only been a few days since he'd left Ocean City.

Why had so many things happened since then?

Furthermore, everyone around him seemed to have changed dramatically.

"Isn't the Ye Family going to do anything about it?"

"They did, I heard that Madam Ye has fallen ill due to her anger and she had restrained all of Mr. Ye's cards to be used. Unfortunately, he has quite a few lucrative venture capital companies, so Madam Ye isn't able to control his own personal finances."

The servant informed Terrance of the latest news updates.

Then, Terrance rubbed his temples and said, "Find out where he is. I want to see him right now."

"Yes, Mr. Hans."

The servant quickly went to investigate.

Meanwhile, Terrance felt like his head was about to explode.

Just as Terrance began to look into Nathaniel's whereabouts, Thomas had already received the news.

"Mr. Ye, Mr. Hans has returned to the country."

"Got it."

"He wants to meet you and he has sent someone to investigate your whereabouts. Also, I heard that he went to the hospital earlier. Madam Hans was planning to bring Andrea to kick up a fuss at the Ye's Mansion, but Mr. Hans stopped them."

Nathaniel was slightly shocked and he sneered. "Andrea really thinks she's someone now, doesn't she? She even has the guts to bring Madam Hans to the Ye Residence? Isn't she afraid that she'll never leave the house alive?"

"Mr. Ye, I think there might be something else you don't know."

Thomas's words made Nathaniel pause for a moment.

"What's the matter?"

"Andrea had been raped by someone, and she was covered in injuries when Madam Hans arrived at the hotel. After that, she was taken to the hospital and the Hans Family stopped all information about her from leaking out. I just found out that Andrea has experienced serious tearing down there and Madam Hans thinks that you did it. Because of this, she wants to get revenge for Andrea." "What?" Nathaniel was completely stunned.

"Who did it?"

Thomas hurriedly replied, "I looked into it, and it turns out that two producers from an adult film company in Ocean City did it. However, we found out about this too late and both the men have

escaped Ocean City. For now, we don't have any leads on their location."

"Do you know who told them to do this?"

"I don't know. Both of them left in a hurry and they didn't bring anything with them. Plus, there isn't any extra money in their bank accounts so it doesn't seem like they were hired to do this."

Nathaniel frowned deeply at Thomas' words.

"Someone is trying to sabotage me and make me seem like a target."

"Yes, and it seems to be working flawlessly. However, Andrea could have felt guilty and she didn't allow the doctors to obtain any evidence. So, this was the only reason Mr. Hans was able to stop Madam Hans from coming to the mansion. Nevertheless, word is is that she's not going to give up so easily."

Then, Nathaniel sneered and said, "She wants to pin this on me? Madam Hans has it all planned out, but it still needs my participation for it to work. If the Hans Family wants war, then I'll give them war. I want to see what other tricks they have up their sleeve."

Once Thomas realised that Nathaniel understood the whole issue, he left his boss alone.

Meanwhile, it didn't take long for Terrance's men to find Nathaniel and Terrance himself came by shortly after.

The Nathaniel he saw before he left the country was steady and stoic, so Terrance did not expect to see Nathaniel behaving rowdily with a group of gamblers as they shouted and placed their bets.
