The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)

Chapter 279

Zion said triumphantly.

Merle gave Zion a thumbs-up and said, "You're pretty good."

"Of course! Don't you know who my mother is? She's the madam of the Dark Night Empire!"

Zion seemed particularly proud then.

Nanny Zhang was very angry, but she couldn't free herself. Furthermore, she couldn't remove her pants when there were so many men around.

However, Merle couldn't be bothered about that as he couldn't take away the whole car along with Nanny Zhang.

When Nanny Zhang saw them coming over, she unconsciously tried to start the car to try and drive away, but she couldn't do it at all.

Then, Zion sighed and said, "I don't know how you even survived this long as an adult, did you really think that a child like me would let you take me away? I'm not as stupid as you. The car is already low on fuel, didn't you notice as you were driving?"

After he finished speaking, Zion shook his head with a pitiful expression on his face as if Nanny Zhang was mentally challenged. Thus, that made her so angry that she immediately fainted.

"Oh wow, did I make her die from anger?"

Zion clearly took joy in Nanny Zhang's suffering as he said this. Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.

Merle wanted to laugh but he was afraid to, however he couldn't hold it in completely and he chuckled briefly before he said, "How do we take her away now?"

"Just take off her pants. She' s already so shameless, so what do you have to be afraid of? On right, are you guys afraid that you might injure your eyes? Well, I’m sorry to trouble you but there's no other way."

Zion sighed as he spoke, and he caused Merle to burst out in laughter.

"Stop laughing and have someone drive me back, if not my mommy will be worried."

Only then did Zion think of Mango.

Alas!

He would definitely be scolded by his mommy later on.

Then, Zion sighed as he got onto a car.

Then, Merle hurriedly asked someone to drive Zion back to the cave while Nanny Zhang’s pants were removed. Then, she was carried onto a car in her red underwear before she was bound tightly.

Mango was worried about Zion as she watched Nathaniel dodge Zack's attacks. After a few more solid hits from Zack, Nathaniel couldn't take it any longer and he collapsed onto the floor.

"Nathan!"

At that, Mango was in a state of despair.

She couldn't watch Nathaniel being hurt like this, but she was completely helpless.

On the other hand, Zack was reluctant to continue his attacks when he saw Nathaniel like this.

Then, Sisi said coldly, "Zack, you'd better think carefully about this as your family is waiting for you. Nanny Zhang will allow you to reunite with your family if you finish Nathaniel off."

"Shut up! What else do you know except for threatening people?"

Mango was so angry that she immediately charged at Sisi.

She knew she couldn't defeat Sisi, but now wasn't the time to care about that.

Mango was heartbroken when she saw that Nathaniel was covered in injuries as he laid motionless on the ground. Now that Sisi was goading her, she wanted to kill Sisi even if it meant that she would have to sacrifice her life.

On the other hand, Sisi was caught off guard because she assumed that Mango was weak and that Mango would never dare to attack her. Thus, Sisi stumbled and fell onto the ground when Mango charged at her. Then, Mango attacked her before she could even steady herself.

"Ow!"

Sisi was caught off guard and she collapsed in a heap on the ground. The force of Mango's attack caused Sisi’s lower back to flare up in pain.

"B*tch, you truly have a death wish!"

Sisi was extremely livid and she wanted to get up and attack Mango, but suddenly a hand sailed through the air and Zack immediately knocked Sisi out.

"You..."

Sisi was very surprised at the attack, but she fainted before she could say anything else.

After that, Zack looked at Mango and Nathaniel.

Then, Nathaniel immediately got up and he walked over to Mango as if nothing had happened to him.

“You silly woman, why do you constantly endanger yourself? Is it worth risking your life for a useless b*tch like Sisi?”

Nathaniel's voice was soft and Mango burst into tears as she rushed into his embrace when she saw that he was fine.

"You nearly scared me to death, I thought you really lost the fight!”

In fact, Mango had never been so afraid before and her mood went from happy to sad in an instant.

Nathaniel felt distressed as he stroked her head and said, "Don't cry, there are other people here. Won't you be ashamed?”

However, Mango couldn't be bothered about that as all of her tears and snot were all over Nathaniel. Thus, her childish actions exasperated Nathaniel.

Meanwhile, Zack cleared his throat awkwardly.

Then, Mango embarrassedly withdrew herself from Nathaniel’s arms, but she still gripped his arms tightly.

"What's going on?"

Mango felt somewhat confused.

Wasn't Zack a traitor?

Why did he suddenly decide to help her and Nathaniel?

After that, Nathaniel looked at Zack and he said softly, "Your family is with the Ye Family in Ocean City, so you should go and pick them up after you return."

"Thank you, Nathaniel. I never expected that you would save my wife and child even after I betrayed you."

Zack’s tone was somewhat self-deprecating.

Then, Nathaniel waved his hand and said, "Take your wife and child and leave. What you did to me was a huge emotional blow, and there will always be a rift in our friendship even if you were merciful to me in the end."

"I understand. It was my mistake."

Zack fretted at this, but he still said in a low voice, “For the sake of my family, I’m so sorry.”

"Just go, Zack.”

Nathaniel didn't want to stop Zack from leaving any longer, but he felt very upset.

Conversely, Zack also knew that it was pointless for him to stay as he was too ashamed. Thus, he bowed deeply to Nathaniel and Mango before he quickly left.

Mango felt like all of this was quite surreal and she asked in confusion, "What the hell is going on?"

"After I discovered Zack's betrayal, I sent a message to Terrance and asked for his help to locate and rescue Zack's family. I guess you can say that I did it for the sake of our friendship.”

"You’re upset, aren't you?”

As she saw Nathaniel like this, she knew that he wasn’t as composed as he looked on the outside.

However, Nathaniel smiled and said, "What can I do even if I'm upset? We don't even know where our troublemaker of a son brought Nanny Zhang, I'm really going to punish him when he gets back."

As if on cue, Zion returned to the cave on a Jeep.

"Mr. Ye, Mommy, I'm back!"

Zion stood on the passenger seat as he waved excitedly to Mango and Nathaniel, and his actions scared Mango so much that her face went pale.

"Sit down, that's dangerous!”

Alas, Zion didn’t even hear Mango at all and before he could say anything else, the car stopped and Zion flew out of the car window because he wasn't wearing a seatbelt.

"Ah!"

Zion screamed loudly out of fear.

Nathaniel's heart skipped a beat before he shoved Mango aside and rushed over to Zion.

Nathaniel never knew until now that his heart could feel so much fear.

As he barely managed to catch Zion, Nathaniel felt a great discomfort in his chest as if it had been stabbed with a knife.

However, Zion just casually giggled as he greeted Nathaniel, "Hi, Mr. Ye. You're a pretty agile person, huh?"

Nathaniel's heart finally calmed down, but it was replaced by a surge of anger.

After that, he grabbed hold of Zion and flipped him over his thigh. Then, Nathaniel spanked Zion with forceful smacks.

"Ah! Mommy, help! Mr. Ye is going to kill me!"

Zion was in so much pain that tears welled up in his eyes, but he was unable to free himself.

Meanwhile, Mango had finally calmed down but she was stunned momentarily as she saw what Nathaniel was doing. However, she recalled Zion's fearless attitude and she decided to ignore his pleas for help.

Mango turned away and Zion immediately became despondent.

"Mommy, are you going to watch Mr. Ye hit me? Don’ t you love me anymore?"

Mango resisted the urge to look back at him, but then she heard Nathaniel say coldly, "Are you an idiot? It's bad enough that you made your own plans, but how could you not wear a seatbelt in the car? Who let you sit in front? What's more, you stood up to wave to us, do you have a death wish? Also, do you know how worried we were when you led Nanny Zhang away on your own? Do you think you’re very clever now that you're older? Try that again if you dare! Your sister is unwell and your mommy is very worried about her, but you insist on causing trouble! Do you intend to kill us with your antics?"

Nathaniel scolded Zion as he spanked his son. In fact, he had never been this angry before.

Just now, he felt as if he had stared right into the jaws of death.

If he hadn’ t caught Zion accurately, the consequences would've been unfathomable.

Meanwhile, the driver of the jeep was intimidated by Nathaniel's anger.

Mango felt distressed, but she knew she could not interrupt Nathaniel while he was teaching their son a lesson. Hence, she just turned around and spoke to the driver, "Are you from the Dark Night Empire?"

"Yes, I'm one of Mr. Malthus’ men.”

The driver answered hurriedly and he was very respectful to Mango as he knew she was their boss.

"Tell me what’s going on."

The driver dared not dawdle as he heard Mango's words and he recited Zion's deeds to her before he said, "Madam, although Zion was rather reckless, he was undeniably quick- witted about this. Furthermore, the incident in the car was my fault because I didn't remind Zion. Please ask Mr. Ye to stop hitting him, I can see that it hurts."

When Zion heard this, he immediately burst into tears as if he had been wronged.

Mango's heart already ached for her son, but she became even more upset as she heard him cry.

Then, she looked at Nathaniel pleadingly.

Naturally, Nathaniel could not continue hitting Zion any longer.

He looked at Zion who was lying shamelessly in his lap and he felt a mixture of love and irritation for his son.

Who had Zion inherited his mischievous nature from?

"Stand up!"

Nathaniel said coldly.

However, Zion continued to lie flat on his stomach as he cried out, "I can't stand up, it hurts too much!"

"Zion, don’t pull this nonsense with me. I didn't hit you that hard."

"Nonsense! You used so much strength, if you don't believe me then you can lie down and I'll hit you instead!"

Nathaniel became so irritated at Zion’s words that he wanted to hit him again.

"You little brat, I'm sure you deserve to be punished, don't you?”

Nathaniel feigned raising his arm as if to hit Zion again and Zion was so afraid that he immediately stood up to hide behind Mango. Then, he poked his head out and said harshly, "You’re despicable, Mr. Ye! I want mommy to marry someone else! I want to change my daddy!"
