The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)

Chapter 397

"Where are we going?"

Thomas was a little confused. He stopped the car immediately.

Meanwhile, Nathaniel wondered if Thomas had suddenly turned retarded today as he glared at him.

Thomas suddenly felt a chill on his neck.

"Uh, let me think about it."

Within a second, he understood the situation.

"Mr. Ye, you did it on purpose!"

"What do you mean?"

"You made a big show of losing your money in order to make everyone think you're bad at gambling, and you kept changing casinos to make it look like you were a sore loser. However, your actual goal was Walter Song and the Ruby Taco Casino, right?"

Thomas's mind was finally working again.

As he said earlier, Nathaniel was very successful in the business world, so how could he have lost so miserably at gambling?

When Nathaniel saw Thomas's excited expression, he snorted coldly and said, "I wonder who was the one that was so worried over that twenty million earlier."

"It's still money, okay? Furthermore, it's twenty million."

Thomas laughed as he replied. Yes, he admitted that he wouldn't be as bold as Nathaniel. Using twenty million dollars as a diversionary tactic was something only Nathaniel could do.

Then, Nathaniel glared at him and said, "We invested more than twenty million back when we were setting up those venture capital firms. In the end, you just don't trust me enough. I guess that Mango is the only person who ever trusts me, everyone else is irrelevant. Working for me is a waste of your time, Thomas."

Nathaniel's criticism caused Thomas to be at a loss for words, but he was confused when he heard Mango's name.

"Of course your wife knows you the best, but even if she was here today, she might not catch on to what you were doing. It's hard for anyone to be calm when you're tossing out hundreds of thousands like it's nothing."

"Not necessarily. Do you remember that time when a waiter came to speak to Walter from upstairs after he'd lost the first ten million?"

"I did. What was that all about?"

Thomas just became even more confused.

Meanwhile, Nathaniel glared at him once again as he was too lazy to explain.

Thomas felt that Nathaniel was extremely annoyed with him today. Perhaps his brain really was malfunctioning.

He tried hard to think of the whole issue, and suddenly an thought came to his mind.

"Do you mean that the waiter was sent by Mrs. Ye to stop Walter from gambling anymore?"

Thomas's words finally caught Nathaniel's attention.

"God, Mr. Ye, do you mean that Mrs. Ye has always been inside Walter's casino? Your aim had always been this casino, but you didn't want anyone else to know Mrs. Ye was here so you went to all the other casinos to make it look like you enjoyed gambling. In fact, you always had a plan mind. Furthermore, you kept losing to make yourself look like a sore loser who's looking for somewhere he can win, but your true aim is to drain Walter dry right? You're mad, because Walter didn't tell you that he hid Mrs. Ye, and this is your punishment to him. You had me follow that waiter upstairs because you wanted to see which room Mrs. Ye was occupying!"

At last, Thomas finally understood everything.

Then, Nathaniel replied faintly, "I see you've regained your wits. I'd thought that your brain's been rotted by love or something."

Hearing this, Thomas felt rather embarrassed.

If even he couldn't understand what Nathaniel was doing, then his boss's tactics were amazing indeed.

"Mr. Ye, how did you know Mrs. Ye was there with Walter? We searched all of Ocean City and to no avail. How did you find out that she was here?"

"If you could easily deduce what I was thinking, then you wouldn't be my assistant anymore. What are you waiting for? Drive!"

Truth be told, Nathaniel would never tell Thomas that it was Zion who'd found Mango. That would be too humiliating.

Meanwhile, Nathaniel's words made Thomas shut up and put a halt to his questions. After that, he turned the car around and drove back to the casino.

"You stay here and keep a lookout. Let me know if someone comes."

Thomas nodded quickly at Nathaniel's words.

But why did he feel like Nathaniel was having an affair instead?

On the other hand, Nathaniel couldn't care less about what Thomas thought. He was extremely impatient. He needed to see Mango right away. He needed to know if she was all right and whether she had been eating well.

The casino was such a filthy, dank place, and yet she still chose to hide here.

After that, Nathaniel quickly took off his coat and climbed up the drainage pipe.

When he reached the third floor, Nathaniel heard Walter's voice coming from inside the room as he stepped foot on the balcony.

"That b*stard Nathaniel did it on purpose! If not, why would he lose elsewhere and yet win millions at my casino? Plus, I even did the math and the amount he won today is equal to his losses from the other casinos. In the end, it's like I'm giving away all my money!"

Walter was so angry that he paced the room.

However, Mango smiled and said, "I sent someone to stop you from playing any further."

"That's easy for you to say, this is my casino. If I concede after I've lost money, wouldn't I be humiliated after that? No one expected

Nathaniel to be so despicable."

After that, Walter sat in the chair and panted angrily,

When Nathaniel heard Mango's voice, his heart was filled with excitement!

She was really here!

Then, Mango poured a glass of water and handed it to Walter as she said, "Hey, it's just twenty million. It's literally a chump change for you, so why are you so upset? You win some and you lose some, so even if you lost today, there could be millions entering your account tomorrow."

At that, Walter immediately spat out the water he was drinking.

"Hey, twenty million is still a pretty large amount for me, okay? The both of you are a couple, so I'm sure you would reassure me that everything would be fine even if he took every cent I owned!"

Walter's words were very pleasant to Nathaniel's ear, especially when Walter called them a couple. So, even he knows that they're still a couple.

Even when he knew Mango was his wife, it was ridiculous for Walter to hide Mango here without telling him.

After that, Mango coughed and Walter became anxious.

"Are you still sick? Although the fever is gone, you still need to take your medicines. If it gets worse, well go to a hospital. I'm sure no one will recognise you."

"I'm fine, I'm better now. Since I've not found the mastermind behind all this, me showing up in public would just trouble the Ye Family. Furthermore, I'm sure that Andrea is planning something else since she entered the Hans Family. She's not going to wait around. Now, all I want to see is whose patience would break first."

After Mango finished speaking, she coughed and it caused Nathaniel's heart to ache.

He hadn't expected Mango to be sick!

What was she thinking by hiding in this place while she was ill?

Thus, Nathaniel couldn't wait to barge in right now and take Mango home, everything else didn't matter. But alas, he still had to be rational.

When Walter saw that Mango was in poor health, he stopped complaining and said, "I don't know if Nathaniel came here on purpose today, but he's smart and he could have noticed something. I hope you get well soon, and if it still doesn't work, I'll send you overseas. Don't worry, I'll handle things for you here. Even if you can't rely on Nathaniel, you still have me right? Don't hurt yourself."

"I know. I know my own body. Don't worry, I'm fine and plus my children and my home are here. I can't leave. I won't rest until I find out who did this."

After that, Mango started coughing again.

Then Walter quickly got up and said, "Take some medication and rest. I'll go now, I'll come back tomorrow."

"Okay!"

Mango got up and saw Walter off, but her throat was dry and itchy.

Then, she started coughing violently before someone handed her a glass of water. She took it without thinking and thanked the person.

However, she realised something was wrong after she drank the water and stopped coughing. © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

"Who's this?"

She turned around to see Nathaniel looking at her with an angry look in his eyes.

On the other hand, Mango thought that she might be seeing things and she rubbed her eyes. After that, she realised that Nathaniel was still standing there!

Hence, her first reaction was to turn and run.

However, that pissed Nathaniel off greatly!

They hadn't seen each other for a few days, but this woman still wanted to hide from him!

Nathaniel was so mad that he chased after Mango and hugged her from behind.

"Let me go, Nathaniel!"

Mango struggled as she yelled, but Nathaniel covered her mouth with his hand.

Hence, she had no choice but to bite down on Nathaniel's palm.

Meanwhile, Nathaniel was stunned as he never expected Mango to bite him. However, he did not let go of Mango and instead threw her onto the bed and pinned her down.

"We haven't seen each other for a few days, yet you've become very bold, haven't you? Biting me, huh? Well, I'm here now, so bite me!"

Then Nathaniel extended his entire arm at Mango in anger.

On the other hand, Mango was securely pinned down by him and she wouldn't waste the energy to break free of him.

Then, she looked at Nathaniel's outstretched arm for a moment before she turned away in disgust. "I'm not going to bite you. Who knows what diseases you might have on your body? I don't wanna die anytime soon from whatever virus you have on you."

Her words irritated Nathaniel.

"You'd better clarify what you said. What disease could I even have?"

"Don't you know what you did? You sent a girl to the hospital with vaginal tearing. Damn, how did I never realise you were capable of such a thing?"

Then Mango bellowed at him, which made Nathaniel's expression darken.
