The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)

Chapter 452

When Mango woke up, she found herself locked up in a dark room.

She wriggled around a bit only to find that her hands and feet were bound. Other than that, she had been dumped sideways on a sofa.

As she looked around, this seemed to be a private room in a club. However, it was rather lavishly decorated and the lack of light made it hard for her to see.

A club?

Could it be the Celestial Clubhouse?

So, did that mean that she never left the club at all?

Mango speculated in her head, but she was unable to move.

Then, she struggled for a moment before realizing that her entire body was numbed.

Fortunately for her, this wasn't the first time she'd been kidnapped. Hence, Mango was a lot calmer than before.

Who was the person that did this?

Why did he kidnap her?

Was it Susie?

If it was her, then who would do Susie's bidding since John was in Nick's custody?

Mango's mind raced with a million thoughts, but nothing concrete ever came out of it.

Plus, the sanitary towel she had with her was about to be soaked through.

Truth be told, Mango never thought that she would face such an embarrassing problem.

No matter who the other party was, it was f*cking inconvenient for her to be kidnapped during her period.

Thus, she didn't dare to move in fear of more blood gushing out. It would be super embarrassing if she stained her pants.

On the other hand, Mango couldn't just stay still. How would she save herself then?

After weighing the options, Mango finally decided to get up. Despite being unable to escape her restraints, at least she was sitting upright now.

Mango was so thirsty that her throat resembled the Sahara Desert, but she couldn't make a sound as she was gagged with a cloth.

With all the drinking and merrymaking outside, who would have ever stopped to think that a woman would be locked up inside the room?

Then, Mango tried her best to stand up to no avail. On the contrary, the very thing she tried to avoid happened.

There was a cold gush of liquid in her pants.

In the end, she still embarrassed herself.

Mango was very annoyed but all she could do was calm down and wait.

Her kidnappers would arrive sooner or later.

Moreover, Thomas and the others must have realized that she'd been kidnapped. At that moment, it was very likely that the entirety of Ocean City was looking for her.

All she needed to do was wait.

Mango was already exhausted, but after all this strain and the sweat drenching her body, she was bone tired.

She leaned on the sofa to gasp for air as dizziness claimed her.

Mango didn't know if it was all in her head or something, but she vaguely felt a dull ache in her stomach, and more blood seemed to gush out of her.

Just like that, Mango fell asleep in a muddled haze.

She didn't know how long she was asleep, but the desire to pee woke her up.

Even if Mango could tolerate her pants being soiled with blood, she couldn't just relieve herself right on the sofa, right?

At that moment, Mango began to panic.

She had no sense of time passing, nor did she know how long she'd been asleep. To be frank, Mango was rather annoyed that no one had come for her.

Then, Mango struggled to her feet once again. In this situation, she found it difficult to stand, so she could only roll onto the floor. After that, Mango gritted her teeth and she rolled towards the bathroom.

Honestly, she'd never expected to be this pathetic ever in her life.

By the time she reached the bathroom door, Mango was already sweating profusely, but she couldn't think of anything else.

Using the bit of space she had, Mango undid her pants and she managed to pee.

Mango was delighted to discover that the bathroom had sanitary towels and tissues.

However, it took her a lot of time and effort to do something that was usually so simple, but she succeeded in the end.

Yet, her pants were soiled and her body was drenched.

Right now, Mango was just like a street beggar, but she no longer cared about what

she looked like.

Mango once again rolled towards the door before she began banging her head on it, hoping to attract someone's attention.

Unfortunately, she had no idea how far this room was from the outside, or if it was isolated from people completely. Mango hit her head until she began to see stars, and she nearly passed out.

In order to preserve her strength, she had to stop for a while.

Frankly, Mango seemed to have been forgotten by people as she faded in and out of consciousness for God knew how long. The only thing she knew was that the noise outside faded into silence, only for it to come back before fading once more.

During this period, no one came to see her, nor did anyone deliver any food or water to her.

Mango was so hungry that she was on the verge of fainting. If it wasn't for her tenacious will to live, she might not be able to make it through.

There were water and bread in the room, but it was difficult for her to eat when she was tied up. Thus, Mango kept making a mess out of herself whenever she tried to eat.

Even then, so what?

As long as Mango stayed alive, she was willing to go through anything.

However, the outside world had gone absolutely buck wild due to Mango's disappearance.

Noah had alerted almost everyone to search for Mango. Plus, when Terrance and the Ye family heard that she'd disappeared, both parties searched feverishly for her.

Mango's disappearance had thrown the entire city into a panic, and there were men stationed at every entry point, bus stand, train station, and airport. Even the hotels were roped in to help with the search.

When Walter heard that Mango was missing, he became extremely anxious.

Walter went straight up to Thomas and he punched him squarely across the jaw.

"What the hell are you doing? Aren't you supposed to be very capable? How could you call yourself Nathaniel's assistant when Mango disappeared before your very eyes? Where's Nathaniel? Where has he gone when his wife has disappeared?" Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.

It wasn't like Thomas was unable to avoid Walter's punch. Instead, he felt like he deserved to be punched.

It had been three days!

Mango had been missing for three days!

He had been spending all day in remorse and worry. No matter how hard Thomas tried, he couldn't seem to contact Nathaniel.

Nathaniel seemed to have vanished into thin air. There was no news from him, and no one knew where he went or what he was doing.

Plus, Thomas had looked into the so-called problem at the overseas branch of the company but the issue did not exist at all.

After Nathaniel took the plane to Los Angeles in the United States, no one had ever heard from him again.

"Tell me! Where's Nathaniel? Didn't he claim that he loved his wife the most? Where is he now that Mango's missing?"

Walter's anxious expression rendered Thomas speechless.

"I don't know!"

"You don't know? You're his assistant, and yet you don't know? Tell me, is Nathaniel tired of Mango? Is he trying to use this method to get rid of her?"

Walter's words caused Thomas to frown imperceptibly.

"That's impossible!"

"Then where is he? Mango is desperately waiting for him to save her, so where is he?"

Walter was so angry that he wanted to beat Thomas into a pulp.

Of course!

No matter how much Thomas tried to explain himself away, no one would believe that he didn't know where Nathaniel was. After all, he'd been Nathaniel's assistant for years, and they were almost like brothers.

Therefore, Thomas's explanation seemed flimsy at best.

When Rainie returned, she witnessed Walter hitting Thomas which made her so furious that she picked up the mop beside her before tossing it at him.

"Let go of Thomas, you scum! You b*stard!"

Rainie's sudden appearance startled Walter, and he turned around to attack subconsciously. However, he paused upon seeing Rainie standing there.

The issue between him and Rainie hadn't been properly settled yet, and he still felt rather awkward despite having no intentions of forcing himself on her. Furthermore, Rainie was Mango's best friend, so naturally, he wouldn't hit her.

It was during this brief moment of hesitation that Rainie tossed the mop at his face. To make matters worse for Walter, the mop was just freshly washed and the wet strands flopped all across his face.

"What the f*ck! You are simply..."

Then, Walter quickly let go of Thomas to rub his face furiously. If Rainie wasn't Mango's best friend, then he would have killed her long ago.

Meanwhile, Thomas pulled Rainie behind him as he knew how violent Walter could get. Then, he said, "If you want, then help us find Mango. The Ye family will never forget your aid."

"Bullsh*t! I never cared about owing a favor to the Ye family. Also, don't call yourself a part of the Ye family like a loyal dog. Even if you are one, why didn't you guard your owner properly?"

Walter had always been rude to Thomas, so he was used to the insults. On the other hand, Rainie wasn't going to let it go so easily.

"What are you talking about? Who are you calling a dog? If so, aren't you a dog as well? You two do share the same blood after all."

"You're really asking for a beating, aren't you?"

Walter really felt that he and Rainie were destined to be enemies. Thus, he always felt like hitting her whenever they met.

"Come on then! It's not like you've never hit a woman! Not only that, you even forced yourself on them! Is there anything you can't do in Ocean City?"

Rainie's words immediately struck a nerve with Walter.

It seemed that Rainie would remember what happened previously for the rest of her life.

"Forget it, I'm not going to argue with you! Thomas, keep your woman on a leash! Also, you better hope that I find Mango safe and sound. If she isn't, don't think I'll return her to the Ye family! I've given Nathaniel too many chances in which he did not appreciate."

After that, Walter turned around and left.

Thomas's expression was gloomy, but he couldn't say anything else because ultimately he was the one who lost Mango.

On the other hand, Rainie said guiltily, "I'm sorry, this is all my fault for not looking after Mango properly. I'm really worried as it's been three days. Shouldn't the kidnappers have come forward with the demand for ransom by now?"

Thomas's gaze became grim.

She was right.

All kidnappings had a purpose. As long as the kidnappers stated their terms, Thomas would willingly give his life in exchange for Mango. Alas, there was no news at all for the past three days.

What on earth did they want?

A sinking feeling of uneasiness began to settle in Thomas's heart.

Could it be possible that the other party was just aiming to kill Mango? If so, then what would be the outcome of this whole situation?

A corpse?
