The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye) novel Chapter 1049

"What are you doing?"

Mango looked at Nathaniel while with questioning eyes.

Then, Nathaniel suddenly realized that Mango seemed to have misunderstood his intentions. He coughed awkwardly and said, "Stop messing around. Let's talk about serious matters."

"What is it?"

Only now did Mango remember the reason she came there.

"Oh, it's about my company."

Mango replied anxiously.

"Didn't Clarissa work for you previously? I'm sure that she has an excellent track record, right? But why can't she settle the matter now? Are there any problems that I don't know about?"

Mango did not doubt Clarissa's ability at all. However, she was worried that someone would try to scheme against Nathaniel by using this issue. Therefore, Mango would not agree to this if this was the case.

When Nathaniel saw how anxious she was, he couldn't help but smile and said, "It's just a small issue, but you can rest assured that I will deal with it. By the way, have you eaten breakfast?"

"How can I be in the mood for breakfast while facing all these troubles?"

Mango was annoyed as she felt that Nathaniel wasn't making sense.

Then, Nathaniel quickly picked up the phone and called his secretary.

"Order breakfast for Mrs. Ye from the restaurant."

After hanging up, Nathaniel smiled and said, "No matter what happens, your health is the most important. Skipping breakfast isn't good for your stomach."

"It's almost noon and my company..."

"I'm here for you, so you should eat something too."

Nathaniel interrupted her immediately.

In this life, Mango's greatest dream was to be with Nathaniel. However, she never expected that he would promise to take care of her for eternity.

Therefore, she started to calm down a little.

After a moment, the secretary came in with a tray of breakfast.

Actually, Mango didn't have much of an appetite, but she still obediently ate the food under Nathaniel's supervision.

Then, she asked while munching away, "What's going on this time?"

"We'll talk about it after your meal."

Nathaniel was very persistent.

Therefore, what else could Mango say when she had such a stubborn husband?

She finished the breakfast quickly, and Nathaniel brought her a glass of hot milk. She frowned slightly but still drank it.

Seeing that Mango had finished her breakfast, Nathaniel finally said in a low voice, "Actually, it's nothing much. It's just a competition between peers."

"Don't try to fool me. If that's the case, Clarissa would still be able to manage it. I don't believe that you will send an incapable person to work for me."

Mango did not hesitate to say at all.

Meanwhile, Nathaniel smiled bitterly and said, "Can't you just leave this to me?"

"Why should you deal with my company's problems? Nathaniel, I am Ms. Shen. I have to be independent. Are you planning to treat me like a child forever?"

"I would do that if you allow me to."

"No! You can't do that!"

Mango refused directly.

After going through some crisis these few days, she realised that women could not rely on men for everything. After all, men would get exhausted too. Therefore, what should she do if their enemies took advantage of this period and try to harm them?

After all, they still had three children to take care of.

Thus, Mango forced herself to be strong at this thought.

She didn't want to be a child relying on Nathaniel's protection, but she walked to help him achieve success as his companion.

When Nathaniel saw Mango's persistent expression, he sighed and said, "Mango, I don't think it's appropriate for you to deal with this issue yourself."

"What's wrong? I have dealt with my adoptive parents' problems myself, so what else would be more terrible than that? Who on earth is it?"

"Lawrence Yu."

Mango was stunned for a moment when she heard this name. She couldn't even remember who this person was.

Meanwhile, Nathaniel immediately smiled when he saw how adorable she looked.

"Andrea Yu's father. Remember? Your mother's lover from abroad."

Suddenly, Mango recalled everything!

Then, she frowned slightly.

"What do you mean? Wait, is he trying to defend his daughter? Is he trying to seek justice for Andrea this time?"

Mango thought that Lawrence was doing this because of the personal grudge between her and Andrea.

Nathaniel shook his head and said, "No, it's because of the death of your mother, Queena. He probably thinks that you're responsible for your mother's death. In fact, this is common. Since Queena is dead, he's trying to vent his hatred and anger on someone. Otherwise, he can't move on. So I guess he's trying to put the blame on someone for this."

"He's just a foolish coward! Urgh! Why is he doing all these just because he can't get the love he wants?"

Mango looked down on Lawrence immediately.

Previously, Lawrence was the mastermind of the incident that involved Elena. During that time, the law punished Lawrence's brother on his behalf, but they did not manage to catch Lawrence himself. However, they didn't expect him to target them again so quickly.

Mango immediately remained calm now that she knew who her enemy was.

"Is Lilith working for Lawrence?"

"Not exactly. Lilith is indeed working as an actress. She's misfortunate because she was born to a pair of greedy parents and a younger brother that didn't receive much education. Their family are parasites who earn a living by sponging off others, and they almost used Lilith as well. In fact, everyone in the entertainment circle knows about it. However, you started this new company, and you didn't hear about it because you didn't have enough connections. Furthermore, you didn't investigate Lilith thoroughly before you signed a contract with her. In fact, Clarissa was also responsible for this mistake. What happened was that Lawrence used some money to bribe Lilith's parents and lied to them that Lilith would make a lot of money when she became the heroine of a play. This was what started the scandal."

Nathaniel explained the truth to Mango faintly.

Meanwhile, Mango furrowed her eyes brows when she heard.

"I just want to know what she has been doing recently. Also, I want to invite her to Ocean City."

"Nah, you should forget about it."

Nathaniel picked up Mango immediately and placed her on the sofa.

Then, he walked around the office irritably and said, "Have you forgotten what she has done to you? Andrea will give up because she has evil intentions on me. Are you sure you want her to come?"

"Of course, I am!"

Mango smiled happily as she said this.

Nathaniel looked at her expression and realised that she wasn't joking at all. Then, he frowned and asked, "Are you trying to lure Lawrence out by using her?"

"Not exactly, but Andrea is his soft spot. Since he tried to harm me, I can't let him have his way, can I? Tell Dylan to bring Andrea for a tour in the Ocean City. Of course, I have the final say on the destination."

Nathaniel calmed down a little upon seeing her confident look.

"Dylan is my brother. It's best not to offend him unless it's an urgent matter."

"I know, and I don't care about Andrea. Besides, I'm not interested in murdering people. As long as she is obedient, I will treat her as my sister."

Since Mango had already said so, Nathaniel had no choice but to agree.

Then, he made a phone call to Ned.

"Find out where Andrea is now."

Soon, Ned sent a message over.

"Andrea is recently staying in M Country. Dylan's with her as well." While Nathaniel was on the phone, Mango stood up and walked out of the office.

After all, Dylan was still Nathaniel's good friend. Hence, Mango didn't want to ruin their brotherhood because of Andrea.

She felt a little bored as she watched the staff working hard in the company. Before she knew it, she was already on her way to the design department.

"Katherine? You're here? Well, there's some problem with one of the designs. Can you give us some advice?"

The staff in the design department had always addressed Mango as Katherine.

Mango liked this title. She was not Mrs. Ye, but Katherine.

Thus, her long- lost passion for design had awakened again.

"Aren't you afraid that I'll leak the company's secrets?"

Mango joked and said.

However, the designer, Brighton, merely smiled and said, "Since Mr. Ye is not afraid that this will happen, why should we worry?"

Then, all of them suddenly burst into laughter.

Although Mango hadn't been there for a long time, she suddenly felt as if she had never left.

She sat on the designer's chair and took the drawings before looking at them. However, she couldn't help but frown.

These drawings were quite interesting!
