The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)

Chapter 209

It would be fine if the housekeeper had not said anything, but Old Madam Tang became angry the moment she knew.

If not for the interests of that plot of land, she would have never asked Nathaniel for help. Previously when they signed the contract, she had not wanted to include that clause but Nathaniel had insisted on the basis of avoiding extortion from the Tang family. Hence, the clause was included anyway with the instruction of the lawyer.

Now, the clause was the only reason that the Tang family found it hard to proceed with their plans.

If that plot of land had not been developed, it would not matter if they gave it to Nathaniel.

However, the land already had a developer as well as partners committed to it. Furthermore, the contracts had already been signed and a large sum of money had been invested, they were waiting to start the construction to make money. Then now, Nathaniel had used this clause against them and it was rather devastating for the Tang family.

Although the Tang family's cashflow was not entirely dependent on this small amount of money, Old Madam Tang was still dissatisfied.

Obviously, anyone would be angry if they had been tricked. However, this matter was well justified by Nathaniel and he had given them the plot of land. That indisputable grandson of their Tang family, Abyss had secretly bought Mango and he even hid her.

If this was done in secret, then it would be fine. However, Nathaniel had managed to get evidence of Abyss' act. Content is © by NôvelDrama.Org.

Thus, Old Madam Tang could not wait to beat Abyss to death with her walking stick.

Now that she heard the housekeeper talk about this matter again, Old Madam Tang's eyes rolled back and she fainted.

Then, the housekeeper was so frightened that his face turned pale. Next, he quickly called for the family doctor and he tried very hard before he could wake her. Right then, someone came to inform her that Nathaniel Ye had arrived.

Old Madam Tang felt so angry that she found it hard to breathe.

Despite her involvement in the business for her entire life, she had never seen someone as cunning as Nathaniel.

"I won't see him! Just tell him that I'm seriously ill and I've turned away all visitors."

At this time, the last person Old Madam Tang wanted to see was Nathaniel.

However, Nathaniel barged his way in without care to anyone else.

"Old Madam, what do you mean?"

As Nathaniel walked in, his cold voice made Old Madam Tang wish to faint again. Unfortunately, she could not pretend anymore because he was in front of her. "I heard that you were ill, so I specially invited a doctor to come and see you. Are you feeling better now?"

Thus, Nathaniel smiled gently and he looked polite, but Old Madam Tang was cursing him in her heart.

What a crooked businessman!

Nonetheless, there was still a smile on her face.

"Mr. Ye, what brings you here?"

"Bad things."

After that, Nathaniel smiled faintly before his expression suddenly darkened.

"Old Madam Tang, we are both business person and you should know that honesty is important. When you asked for the land in the south, we made it clear that all the favors the Tang family have done for Mango had been repaid. Plus, you promised me that you would control your grandson and he wouldn't do anything outrageous to Mango. But now, Abyss has imprisoned my wife. Surely, you must give me an explanation for this, right? Unless the Tang family wants to have it both the land and Mango?"

Thus, Nathaniel's voice was soft and monotone. However, it was as if he had embarrassed Old Madam Tang in public.

Hence, she felt humiliated.

"Mr. Ye, my grandson is an ungrateful b*stard. I have no idea what Abyss does outside, and I've sent people to look for him. Has he not returned?"

"Old Madam, that's not right. That's not what you said to me when you wanted that plot of land." Nathaniel's gaze was aggressive.

Thus, Old Madam Tang was so embarrassed that she could not say a word. Furthermore, her face turned red.

"The Tang family is well- respected. There isn't a woman out there that you can't have. So, why do you insist on snatching women from the Ye family? You know, Mango is my wife and she has given birth to my children. Even if you don't mind that she belongs to me, you still have to consider if Mango is willing to be with Abyss. What's more, I heard that Abyss forced her to stay. If they really

had feelings for each other, I would not interfere, but Mango and I love one another. Does the Tang family enjoy bullying other people? Or do you look down on the Ye family?"

Nathaniel's voice got colder the more he spoke. At the same time, Old Madam Tang's forehead erupted in a cold sweat.

She had never been insulted like this in her life.

However, this was one thing that she could not defend herself on. Thus, she decided to vent her anger at the poor housekeeper who was standing beside her.

"Why are you still standing there? Call that unfilial son and tell him that I'm going to die and that he should attend my funeral!"

Old Madam Tang was really angry this time.

As he heard her words, the housekeeper hurried to call Abyss.

Meanwhile, Abyss was drunk. When he saw the phone call from the house, he did not intend to pick up. However, it kept on ringing, which frustrated him.

"What?"

He answered angrily.

Then, the housekeeper said nervously, "Young Master Sun, come back quickly. Mr. Ye from Ye Family is here, and that has made the old madam very angry. She said to tell you to come back now, or else she's going to die."

Although it was not the best thing to say, there was nothing that the housekeeper could do about it.

These days, Old Madam Tang's health was poor, and her heart's condition was bad. If she fainted due to agitation, the housekeeper dared not think about the aftermath.

Moreover, Nathaniel was not an easy-going person. Thus, the housekeeper hoped that Abyss would come back soon and he would take charge of the situation.

When Abyss heard that Nathaniel had arrived at the Tang's Mansion, his eyes narrowed and he said, "I'm coming back right now."

After he hung the phone, Abyss looked at his haggard self in the mirror and he said with a bitter smile, "Oh Abyss, you've actually went and f*cked yourself up. What would Nathaniel say if he saw this?"

Then, he smashed the mirror with a strong punch. After that, he quickly tidied up and he changed clothes before he left.

Soon, Abyss arrived at the Tang family's mansion. Nathaniel casually sat on the sofa as he drank tea. On the other hand, Old Madam Tang, who was on the opposite side of the sofa, was extremely angry.

As she saw Abyss walked in, she flung the glass of water in her hand at him without a care for her usually well-maintained reputation.

"You good-for-nothing! Now you know how to come back?"

Abyss dodged the glass quickly. However, his expression darkened as he saw Nathaniel looked at him mockingly.

"Mr. Ye, what is the meaning of this?"

"I also want to know what you mean by buying my wife as well as locking her up, Mr. Tang. Right now, I've brought you a million dollars so that you release Mango. I believe that we are all people of honor here, and we won't involve the police, right?"

Nathaniel's words infuriated Abyss directly.

"Nathaniel, do you have no shame? I did buy Mango, but she was kidnapped."

"Do you think I'll believe what you say now?"

Then, Nathaniel stood up and he confronted Abyss.

Next, Abyss sneered and he said, "Didn't you do this, Mr. Ye? You've already taken her back, so what's the point of you coming here and kicking up a fuss? Mr. Ye, surely you know this is a horrible way of handling things."

"If I've already found my wife, why would I be here? I know your feelings for Mango, Abyss. I've known that ever since we were in university, but Mango still married me. However, you never gave up on her. I'm grateful for what you did five years ago, so I moved all of the Ye family's assets out of America and I gave your family a piece of land. Now that you've gotten what you wanted and you still secretly imprison my wife. What's that about then?"

Nathaniel's aggressive words angered Abyss.

"Don't twist this around on me. No one knows where Mango is better than you. Nathaniel, I'm warning you, this is the United States, not Ocean City! Don't think you can pressure me here!"

The anger between Abyss and Nathaniel was on the verge of erupting.

Suddenly, Abyss's phone rang.

Then, he answered the call without hesitation.

"What's the matter?"

"Mr. Tang, something's wrong. Miss Shen has escaped."

The phone call was from Abyss' secretary. Furthermore, it was quiet at this time so everyone could hear the sound of his phone clearly.

"What bullsh*t are you talking about?"

Thus, Abyss was almost gone mad. He had no idea what was wrong with his secretary, and Old Madam Tang's expression was very foul.

"Abyss, are you really going to drag the whole Tang family into this because of a woman?"

"No, grandma, Mango had been rescued a long time ago. This is not true!"

Abyss tried to explain, but then Nathaniel sneered and he said, "Isn't that your secretary? You mean to say that your secretary is lying to you?"

Thus, everyone's face fell at Nathaniel's words.

In fact, Secretary Zhang had been with Abyss for many years. She had been working with Abyss since he graduated from college. Thus, it was no secret that she was interested in Abyss. Furthermore, she was the only person that would never betray him.

However, the phone call was truly from Secretary Zhang. The fact made Old Madam Tang so angry that she almost fainted again.

"You b*stard! Tell me the truth! Where did you imprison Miss Shen, I mean, Mrs. Ye?"

"I didn't, grandma!"

Thus, Abyss felt that he had been wrongfully accused.

Even though he was not sure why Secretary Zhang called him, he had no excuse left.

Then, Nathaniel said coldly, "All will be well if she's fine. However, if anything happens to her, don't blame me if I take action towards your family."

After that, he turned around and he stormed away.

Then, Old Madam Tang felt suffocated. Hence, she quickly asked the housekeeper to bring her water and medicine.

Abyss saw that the Old Madam Tang was not pretending and he hurriedly went toward to her.

"Grandma, believe me. Although I did secretly buy and imprison Mango for a few days, she was really rescued by someone. I suspect that person is Nathaniel. He is deliberately looking for trouble!"

The old lady could not help but slap Abyss as she heard his words. Thus, Abyss' face was hot and his mouth was bleeding.
