The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye) novel Chapter 972

"What do you mean?"

Mango asked with a gloomy face.

Alfred said sarcastically, "What? All your team members have eaten the fruits that Lebanon bought, but now you're acting dumb in front of me? If you really want to distance yourself from us, you should've refused them! Do you know how much those fruits cost?"

Mango finally knew who gave the fruits. Did Lebanon send the fruits under her name?

If she had known from the start that these fruits were from Lebanon, Mango would not have accepted them!

Now Alfred had ridiculed Mango because of this, so Mango's face darkened involuntarily.

"How much was it? I'll transfer the money to you. By the way, tell Lebanon that he doesn't need to do such things in the future. I don't give a sh*t about him."

As she spoke, Mango took out her phone and prepared to transfer the money.

However, Alfred sneered, "What? Do you think Lebanon is short of money?"

"What do you mean? Huh? What the h*ll are you doing?"

Rainie felt that she really wanted to beat Alfred up.

Alfred had such a horrible personality!

Mango did not ask for Lebanon's help at all, but now, Alfred was humiliating her because of his gift!

Alfred averted her eyes from Rainie and said scornfully, "Hah! You're not even famous enough to talk to me. Even if you become popular, you still can't talk to me until you become someone like Lebanon."

These words were simply too insulting!

Mango's eyes turned cold.

"Was this your idea, or Lebanon's idea?"

"What's the difference? After all, I'm his manager."

"Alright, from now on, I guarantee that I won't have any contact with Lebanon. Are one hundred thousand dollars enough to cover for today's fruits?"

After Mango finished speaking, she directly transferred the money to Alfred and screenshotted it as proof.

"You..."

Alfred did not expect Mango to do that, and she was unhappy after receiving the latter's Whatsapp message.

"Ms. Shen, you don't have to be so cold, do you? We're all in the same industry, and we'll meet one day. Why do you have to..."

"I'm sorry. Please excuse us then."

Mango did not want to listen to Alfred at all. She pushed Alfred aside and then pulled Rainie along with her. Then, both of them left without any hesitation.

Rainie felt that Mango was too cool!

"Wow! Mango, you were so brave just now."

"Urgh! Lebanon is like a plague. I'm always unlucky when I met him. Look, I've just spent one hundred thousand dollars because of this! Remember, don't go near him when you see him again."

A hint of disgust flashed across Mango's eyes.

She really did not like how Lebanon handled certain issues.

Rainie said with some concern, "What if we meet because of our job? You know, I am still a newbie now. I don't have the power to compete with Lebanon for resources."

"Then, refuse the job. I'm sure you can debut even if you avoid Lebanon!"

Rainie nodded her head upon hearing Mango's words.

"Yes, I agree with you."

"Let's go! It's time to eat something delicious!"

Mango was not in a good mood, and she was planning to bring Rainie out to eat some good food.

Rainie loved delicious food, so she had no reason to turn down such an invitation. However, she teased, "What about Nathaniel? Who's going to accompany him for dinner?"

Mango was startled.

She had not been gone back home today, so she did not know whether Nathaniel had left.

Both Nathaniel and Mango did not know what their relationship status was now. Mango did not want to think about it. On the other hand, Nathaniel did not send her any messages, so she guessed that Nathaniel had left.

Mango thought to herself before saying, "Forget about him, let's enjoy ourselves!"

"Well, you finally don't have to rely on him, but why do I feel so awkward?"

Rainie sincerely hoped that Mango would live a good life, but she did not know how long the issue between Mango and Nathaniel would last. In fact, she felt worried for them.

They ordered two dishes and two bowls of ramen, and they were satisfied with the meal.

"To be honest, I find it hard to believe that you can still eat this cheap food."

However, Mango smiled, "What's the matter? These dishes are all edible, right?"

"That's different. After all, you are Mrs. Ye!"

"When I was abroad, even a bowl of beef noodles was a luxury for me."

Mango recalled when she was abroad five years ago.

Rainie quickly said, "Don't think about it, it's all over now."

"Well, you're right. By the way, how's the investigation going?"

Rainie sighed, "Alas! I only know some people who live on the streets, but I'm trying to find someone that will remain neutral. There is no news yet, so you might have to wait for a while. I heard that the police is investigating this issue soon, so I think we'll get some news soon. However, it's strange because someone seems to be blocking the news. So, we've heard nothing for now. In fact, I couldn't get any information from a friend who works in the police stations!"

Mango's eyes narrowed slightly after hearing Rainie's words.

Was Nathaniel doing this?

She did not know who else had the ability to suppress this matter other than him.

Who exactly was the woman?

Mango's curiosity towards the woman's identity grew more.

"Check it again. There must be some clues."

"Well, you offended Lebanon thoroughly today, so I don't know if he will go against us in the future. You should be careful. I'll be fine because I'm alone and I can change my identity anytime. But since you've established your company, you have to think about your employees too as you're not working alone now."

Rainie was a little worried for Mango.

Mango waved her hand and did not pay much attention to it.

Both of them left the restaurant after they had finished eating. As the restaurant was near Polygon Spartial Building, they decided to walk back there so that they could digest their food as well.

There was a small alley between the restaurant and Polygon Spartial Building. No cars could get in there, so they could save some energy by taking that route.

Mango and Rainie decided to go into the alley. However, neither of them expected that something would happen here.
