The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)

Chapter 509

It was a photo taken five years ago.

At that time, Macy was still very beautiful, and she was head over heels on Nick.

Suddenly, his eyes turned abstruse and he was immersed in the past.

What kind of woman was Macy?

At the thought of it, the memories of her were still vividly in his mind. He remembered the way she looked at him with her gentle and affectionate eyes.

Nick thought he had found true love, but little did he know that she wasn't into him at all. She was just attracted to the man with a similar face to him.

Nick had always been compared and compete against others ever since he was a child. However, it didn't matter to him anyway. Soon, Nick was slowly replaced by that person when he grew up. Hence, the humiliation that he had suffered was indescribable.

Macy was his wife!

They even had a child together!

But Nathaniel killed Macy just like that.

Although he didn't kill her personally, Macy's death was related to Nathaniel and Mango. The two of them even thought of themselves as benefactors while raising Wisdom as their son. Were they expecting him to be grateful fortheir kindness?

It was ridiculous!

Nick shut the pocket watch before positioning it on his chest. Then, he looked outside with a pair of cold eyes while muttering to himself, "You guys will pay back sooner or later. You and your wife owe me, and I will definitely get you back!"

Just then, someone knocked on the door.

"Come in!"

Nick put the watch into his pocket and his expression hardened again.

The man came in while glancing around. After ensuring that there was no outsider, he then said with a smile, "Mr. Ye, I need money these days. Can you help me?"

The man looked timid and gaunt with a scrawny physique.

Nick glanced at him before saying coldly, "John, I gave you some money not long ago. What's wrong? Did you spend everything up?"

"Mr. Ye, as you know, that stuff is very costly. I also paid for the job you asked me to do last time."

"How dare you talk to me about what happened last time?"

His expression worsened.

John quivered in fear and he didn't dare to say anything more.

Nick snorted, "You promised that Nathan will be intoxicated after drinking the wine. But look at him now, he's full of vitality! He doesn't even look like some drug abuser, isn't he?"

"But I ordered the woman to drug him. She refused at first, saying that Nathaniel helped her previously and that she couldn't do it. Yet, she finally surrendered after I offered her some

injectables. Besides, if Nathaniel hadn't been poisoned, how could he disappear for eight days? I think he went to a drug rehabilitation program during that period."

Upon hearing John's words, Nick sneered coldly.

"Didn't you tell me that it's hard to get off that kind of drugs once they'd hooked onto it? And now you're saying that it's possible to wean it off in eight days? If that's the case, why do we need rehab anymore? During that time, I have searched every center and found no trace of him. Are you trying to tell me that he's gotten off the drugs by himself in just eight days? John, don't even try to trick me! You're just playing with fire! Tell me! You took the real drug yourself and Nathaniel got the fake product, right?"

John immediately tensed up.

"No, Mr. Ye, I will never lie about this! If it wasn't for you, I would have died! How could I live in such freedom? I absolutely wouldn't betray you. Although I don't know what went wrong, I let the woman set Nathaniel up. As for what had happened, I really have no idea. Now Susie is still in their hands, I wouldn't dare to betray you at all. As you know, Susie and I have feelings for each other."

"Feelings? Haha, I can't see it. Susie should be in Thomas's hands now, and I will deal with that personally. During this period, you should just hide in the club and never come out. Nathaniel is looking for you all over the world now. If you are found by him..."

"Mr. Ye, don't worry. Even if I was caught by Nathaniel, I still won't expose you out."

John immediately stated his stance.

Yet, Nick said faintly, "I'm not afraid of you betraying me. It doesn't matter to me even if you do it, but your son will..."

"Yes, I understand that! I have followed you for so many years. My son is also well taken care of thanks to you. So, I dare not to betray you."

John broke out in cold sweat as he spoke.

"That's great. Susie has given birth to a very outstanding son. If there's a chance, I will allow you guys to meet up. But before that happens, you've to do as I instructed."

"Yes, of course!"

John nodded like an obedient dog.

He was helpless, as he had been a drug addict for his whole life. Fortunately, John met Susie and the latter had given birth to a son before he was involved in drugs. Now that he was weak and impotent, John couldn't have another child. Even if he could get someone pregnant, the child wouldn't be healthy.

Hence, John had to consider his son's future.

"Get lost now! Don't appear in front of me again without my order."

Nick handed some money to John before chasing the latter out immediately.

John quickly took the money and left.

While he left, John looked around warily to make sure that no one was around. After that, he hopped into the taxi before heading to the shooting club.

John had a room for himself in the club.

Upon returning, he took out his child's photo.

His son should be in his twenties now. John wondered how he was doing right now and whether he had gotten married.

John only vaguely heard from Susie saying that their son was doing well with high achievements. Also, he was currently running a few small companies. Although he wasn't very rich, his son was still a high- class person.

Susie had been taking care of their son all these years, and their daily expenses were sponsored by the Ye family.

Some of the money was given by Macy, where she retrieved from Nathaniel. Also, they were secretly supported by Nick.

Suddenly, John narrowed his eyes at the thought of Macy.

No one knew about Macy's background. She was not the daughter of the Chu family, and Macy was just an abandoned baby adopted by John.

Back then, to prevent his son from being discovered, John was forced to lie to everyone, saying that Macy was the daughter of the Chu family.

At that time, Mr. Chu was already terminally ill and he wanted a son to inherit the family business. It would be perfect if they let their son replaced the position.

That was what Susie and John had thought before.

Unfortunately, someone did not allow them to do so.

John didn't know who was it, but that person was very powerful. Their son was almost killed because of this, which was why John was forced to substitute his son with Macy to fool the Ye family.

All these years, he had been vastly benefited from Macy who was living in the Ye family. Clearly, the money he received was being used to support his son. However, it had been years and John didn't know how his son looked like. The only photo he had was just his picture in primary school.

Susie had been keeping in touch with him over the years, but she wasn't as affectionate as she was a few years ago. Susie said that everything she did was for her son. Eventually, John had also become one of Nick's subordinates.

His health condition had deteriorated greatly throughout the years, and he just couldn't wait to meet his son one day.

Susie had promised for their family to reunite as long as the matter involving Nathaniel and

Mango was over.

However, now that Susie was caught and Nick refused to tell him about his son's whereabouts, John didn't know when he could meet his son again.

Feeling dejected, he opened a bottle of wine before gulping it down quickly.

Being drunk was the only way for him to dismiss those frustrating thoughts.

John was drunk and in a bad mood. Then, he wanted to go out for a walk. Suddenly, he was enraged upon thinking about Nick's warning. Therefore, John ran to the basement on the spur of the moment.

The children in the basement were very young.

Looking at the young children, he planned to beat them up initially. However, the thought of his son flashed through his mind. John then sighed and he said, "These kids are pitiful. Give them some add- ons. I'll pay for the drumsticks today."

The guards were feeling surprised.

"John, have you made a fortune?"

"Nonsense! These kids must be very exhausted from all that daily training. After all, they are still young, and we have to bring them to various places when they got older.

Perhaps we'll have to rely on them to survive in the future."

Then, John left the place.

Because of his kindness, the children ate a full meal.

But Gissel didn't eat the drumstick.

She wondered how Zion was doing currently after being locked up in the dark room.

For sure he had nothing to eat while being imprisoned.

Thinking of Zion, Gissel immediately kept the drumstick up for him.

Meanwhile, Zion didn't care about what was going on outside.

After acquiring the items that he needed, he began to make something out of them.

Zion was indeed a genius at inventing. Even if he lacked something, he could still find ways to replace the missing parts.

Soon, the day ended in the blink of an eye.

Zion finally finished constructing his tools before leaving the confinement.

He was extremely excited.

They would be leaving this place soon!

He was going to rescue Gissel and the children out!

He could meet his Mommy, Daddy, and even Rita shortly! C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.

His hands trembled with eagerness.

He carefully put the tools away while waiting for the guards to release him.

In the evening, the keepers finally let Zion out.

"Brat, you will get it from me next time!"

Even though he had been released, Zion was still being kicked by the guards.

If it was in the past, Zion would be aggravated while losing his temper. Besides, he would even beat them up. However, Zion was well- behaved now, as if he was really afraid of being left in hunger. There was no slightest of resistance or dissatisfaction at all.

The guard grinned cheekily, "Look at you, such a cheap rascal! Do you still have to suffer like this if you could've been more obedient? Hurry up and go back. We still have a training session for you guys tomorrow. Don't be late!"

Zion returned to the basement without saying anything.

Everyone was excited and they were full of expectant upon seeing Zion.

Zion nodded at them with a bright smile.

Finally, they were going to escape from here!
