The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)

Chapter 410

Mango stared blankly at her phone for a moment. Finally, she regained her consciousness when she heard the phone rang again.

And it was still an unknown incoming call.

Mango thought that it was ridiculous of her to think that no one would be able to reach her after she switched her mobile number. However, it only took them a few days to discover her new contact number. Thus, she really did not feel that she could hide anything in this world.

She answered the call and a strange voice immediately resounded from the other end of the line.

"Miss Shen, your photos looked gorgeous! Are you interested in shooting a small advertisement or movie?"

His frivolous voice made her uncomfortable.

A small frown creased across her forehead.

"Do you have a death wish? I'd make it happen if you really want to die."

Then she hung up the phone instantly.

Who on earth leaked her phone number?

Was it Susie?

She couldn't exclude this possibility, but she was afraid that there was no way to continue using this number.

Mango turned off her phone and soon felt stuffy staying in her room.

She decided to take a stroll outside. Meanwhile, Sisi and Newell were also in the garden. Mango just passed them by without saying anything. She wanted to take a walk in the courtyard but soon realised that Madam Hans was in the vicinity.

She frowned in displeasure.

Their eyes met, and Madam Hans waved to her from afar.

Mango hesitated for a moment before walking towards her.

"What's the matter?"

Although she was no longer associated with the Hans family, she still couldn't turn a blind eye to Madam Hans.

Moreover, this was Nathaniel's private property. Seeing that Madam Hans could enter the place, she surely had the inside track.

At the thought of this, Mango’s eyebrows furrowed even deeper.

"Madam Hans, you shouldn' t enter this private property uninvited, and I can have the security guards send you away right now."

Mango didn't intend to be rude towards Madam Hans, but she had no other choice.

What was the reason for her to stay hidden if everyone could enter the place?

Madam Hans was already displeased, and her expression changed for the worse when she heard Mango's words.

"Is that how you speak to your elders?"

"Who are you to me?"

In fact, Mango really wanted to get along with her. However, Madam Hans shunned her off with an unfriendly expression of hers.

Then, Madam Hans snorted coldly and said, "Indeed, you are just a brat."

"Then don't waste your precious time here.

Please see yourself out."

Mango turned around and was about to leave.

"Mango, do you really think I'm willing to come here? I'm actually here to talk to you about something."

"I don't think we have anything to talk about, aren’t we? Plus, we’re not that close either."

Mango made a cold remark in a calm voice.

There were no emotions in her tone at all.

However, her indifference had infuriated Madam Hans.

"How dare you still have the guts to stay in Nathaniel' s villa after all the shameless things that you've done? Since you've filed for a divorce, you should leave him alone and leave Ocean City. Go ahead and find a place where no one knows you."

Mango stopped her pace upon hearing what Madam Hans had said.

"This is none of your business. Why are you meddling with our affairs? Are you that eager to see us divorced?"

"Aren't you aware of how disgraceful you are to the family? What's more, the family can no longer tolerate your behaviour."

"What shameless things have I done? Leading to you, Madam Hans, coming to my house and humiliate me?"

Mango felt that both of them could never get along.

She used to think that it was Andrea who had sabotaged their relationship. However, judging from Madam Hans' attitude, it seemed that she really despised her.

Back then, Madam Hans had put in so much effort to search for her. Perhaps she wasn't the ideal granddaughter that Madam Hans had longed for? Was that the reason for her sudden attitude change?

Although Mango couldn't comprehend her actions, it was upsetting to her.

She was obviously hurt by her words, especially the fact that Madam Hans was her grandmother. However, she was strong enough to endure it and would never show her weak side no matter what happens.

Madam Hans was surprised by her bold refutation. Then, she scoffed, "You should've known better than me, don't you? If I were you, I would rather die instead of making a fool out of myself just with all the rumours that were reported in the media. You'd really think that the Ye family had forgiven you because they stopped pursuing the issue? They're just waiting for you to leave willingly by yourself. I wonder how your family has raised you to become such a shameless brat." "That’s enough! You have no right to judge my upbringing. Moreover, everyone knows that I'm being framed. So, why did you come here just to humiliate me? What have I done to deserve this?"

Madam Hans’ harsh words were poison to her, and she was deeply hurt by it.

This was how her family treated her!

Her closest relative!

Madam Hans seemed to have noticed the tears in her eyes. Then, she quickly turned her head and said, "Since you're involved in such a scandal, therefore you shouldn't stay in the Ye household any longer. If not, you' re just degrading yourself. As long as you divorce Nathaniel, you' d receive a portion of inheritance as compensation from the Hans family. Also, you'd be sent abroad and no one would recognize you. It's a good opportunity for you to restart your life again."

Upon hearing her words, Mango was stunned and at a loss for word.

"You' re giving me half of the Hans family's assets just to force me to divorce Nathaniel? What would you and the Hans family benefit from this?"

"I'm not doing it for the Hans family. I'm doing it for the sake of Andrea. As you know, Nathaniel had slept with her. It was such a pity that a pure girl like her had been harassed by him. So, how can Andrea marry him if you don't divorce Nathaniel right now? I visited the Ye family with Andrea yesterday, Nathaniel said that you guys weren't divorced yet, and I was told that the family didn't have a precedent for divorce. Since Andrea had been sexually assaulted by him, therefore, shouldn't you, as her sister, take good care of her by handing over your position as the Ye's family daughter-in-law? As they said, every miller draws water to his own mill, right?"

Mango was completely dumbfounded by her words.

"Did you come here today just to talk about this? What's more, you wanted me to give away my husband to her. Why do you think I should help her?"

"She's your sister!"

"And you're my grandmother! Have you ever thought about me? What about me and Nathaniel's children? What would happen to them if we were divorced? Do you think you’re really doing a good deed by getting rid of me with money? Who gave you the rights to do all these? Making your granddaughter divorce just for the sake of an outsider, seriously? Indeed, you're a hilarious one! My mother-in-law said that there's no precedent of a divorce in the Ye family, and now you’ re planning to persuade me to leave voluntarily instead? Who gave you the permission to come over and make those shameless remarks? Not to mention that those photos are fake, even if they are true, it’s still none of your business. To put it bluntly, I'm still the legitimate daughter-in-law of the Ye family. So what even if Nathaniel harassed her? I can easily settle and dismiss the issue with money. But how dare you try to talk me into getting a divorce?"

This time, Mango was truly enraged.

She had never been so angry before, even during the time when Madam Hans said that she wanted to expel her from the Hans family.

However, she was not giving away any chances in front of the shameless woman who took advantage of her own seniority to oppress others.

Meanwhile, Sisi and Newell immediately ran over upon hearing the heated argument. Then, they came forward and asked, "Madam, do we need to call for security?"

Madam Hans flared up instantly.

"Mango Shen, you'd better listen to me if you still think of me as your grandmother. Your reputation is now in tatters. Are you expecting to see your sister's image ruined because of you? No matter what, you've already been married and have given birth. On the other hand, your sister is still young and pure. So, shouldn't you be concerned about her future?"C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.

"Why should I? Although she’s unmarried, but how dare she have her eyes for her brother-in-law? Besides, there were rumours circulating about them. Meanwhile, why am I at fault for being married and having children? Nathaniel is my husband, and he's not an object to be toyed around like this! You favoured her and wanted to give her the entire Hans family. Alright, go ahead. Because I don't give a d*mn about you guys at all! But why should I give up on my husband and family just because you told me to? Are you saying that I should also offer my life if Andrea ever asks for it?"

Mango was really saddened by her words.

She had never imagined that Madam Hans would actually come up with such a request.

Where did she get the courage to speak up like this?

At this moment, Mango was trembling in anger, and Madam Hans didn't dare to look into her eyes. Intimidated, she said in a low voice, "Andrea is a kind- hearted girl, she would never do that!"

"So?"

"You and Nathaniel are not suitable for each other. You'd find a better man after leaving him."

Although Mango plastered a smile over her face, tears were slowly welling up in her eyes.

"I have the final say on this, and it's not up to you to evaluate my marriage. I never intend to do anything to Andrea initially, but since you guys kept forcing me, then I'll have to do what I had to do"

A hint of fierceness flashed across her eyes.

"What do you want to do? Mango Shen, listen up, if you dare to do anything to Andrea, I won't let you go!"

Mango was once again disappointed by her response. Madam Hans' concern for Andrea hurt her.

"Somebody send her away! To the security guard who allowed her in, tell him to pack his things and leave! No matter what, I’m still the daughter-in-law of the Ye Family. If I see any more outsiders entering, you guys better be ready to get the hell out of here!"

Leaving those words behind, Mango turned around and left.

Meanwhile, Madam Hans was boiling in rage.

"Who are you referring to? Mango Shen, you're really going too far!"

"Madam Hans, please leave, or well be calling the security!"

Sisi gave no d*mn about Madam Hans' status. If Madam Hans refused to leave, Sisi would beat her up. On the other hand, Madam Hans felt as if she was going to faint from anger.
