The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)

Chapter 300

"What happened?"

Mango had been awoken by the commotion outside so she'd stepped out and asked around, only to find that the noise originated from Edolie's room. Hence, she was so frightened that she made her way there quickly.

She would've ignored it normally, but she couldn't afford to have anything happen to Edolie right now.

Just as Mango asked this question, Zion burst into tears.

"Mommy, I've been bullied by a nasty woman!"

Zion's voice startled Mango as she quickly pushed through the crowd to find that Zion's face was swollen.

Then, Mango's expression changed.

"Who the hell did this?"

She had always been reluctant to hit her son ever since he was born, but who had the gall to hit him so badly?

Nathaniel's heart ached when he saw Mango coming.

"Mango, leave this matter to me. You can head back first."

It was only then that Mango realized that both Nathaniel and Madam Ye were present. Moreover, Madam Ye's eyes held a look of avoidance and embarrassment.

Then, Mango immediately understood what had happened.

She turned her head abruptly to look at Edolie.

"Did you do this?"

The look in Mango's eyes scared Edolie and she involuntarily shrank backward. However, she recalled that she had an agreement with Mango and she had just saved Mango's daughter. Moreover, she just splashed Mango's face with hot water. It was a small matter, right?

Even then, Mango didn't do anything to her nor did she have the bravery to tell Nathaniel and Madam Ye what actually happened.

As she thought of this, Edolie pretended to be calm and she said, "I didn't know he was your son, but I hit him because he was the one who disturbed my wound first. Furthermore, I just saved your daughter, you..."

Before Edolie could finish her sentence, Mango had stepped forward and slapped her across the face with a loud smack.

Her movements were so quick and accurate that it shocked everyone present, especially Madam Ye and Nathaniel. However, Edolie was stunned.

"How dare you hit me? Mango, I just saved your daughter!"

Edolie couldn't help but raise her voice at Mango.

Alas, Mango's expression was cold as she raised her hand and she slapped Edolie repeatedly until her own hand became numb.

Meanwhile, Edolie was frozen in shock.

She hadn't expected Mango to be so vicious as the Mango that she had known from before would never do something like this.

Then, Mango said after she finished hitting Edolie, "It's true that you saved my daughter, so I'm very grateful to you, and the entire Ye Family as well. However, what right do you have to beat my son? Are my children your punching bags? I tolerated it when you splashed hot water in my face not because I'm scared of you, but it's because you saved my daughter. But, I'm warning you not to push my limits. My son and daughter are equally important to me, so don't think you can hit my son just because you donated a kidney to my daughter. Your kidney is only worth a few hundred thousand on the black market, but I'll give you a million dollars to get the hell out of Ocean City! If not, don't blame me for venting out my anger on you!"

Edolie couldn't stand it anymore when she heard the finality in Mango's words.

"Hey, we had an agreement! I told you before this that I don't want money, I only want Nathaniel to accompany me for three months. You promised me that you won't see or contact him over those three months! Why would I donate my kidney to your daughter otherwise? It doesn't matter to me if she's dead or alive!"

Then, Nathaniel was stunned by Edolie's words.

He had never thought that Mango would agree to Edolie's request.

No wonder Edolie had agreed to donate her kidney

to Rita.

At the same time, Madam Ye's expression soured.

She had always thought that Edolie had done it out of kindness, but she never expected Edolie to do so because she wanted Nathaniel instead.

Madam Ye also thought Mango was exaggerating this petty issue. As it turned out, Edolie had planned this all along.

Meanwhile, Mango felt Nathaniel's lingering gaze on her. Amidst all the emotions in his eyes, anger dominated the rest.

Hence, she knew that Nathaniel must be furious right now.

No one would want to be traded like an object, much less between husband and wife.

However, Mango didn't have time to care about that now.

Her children were her bottom line and she could definitely tolerate Edolie's antics, but as a mother, she couldn't condone this.

Mango looked at Edolie indifferently and said, "You still want to negotiate with me? How are you going to make up for the fact that you hit my son?"

"There's nothing wrong with him, is there? I just hit him a few times, so that's nothing compared to me donating my kidney."

Then, Edolie's thoughtless words caused Madam Ye to shake her head gently.

This girl was hopeless!

It was fortunate that she hadn't gone to the Shen family yet, if not she wouldn't have known how to explain this situation to them.

After that, Nathaniel spoke.

"How can an outsider like you touch my son? Let's not mention the fact that my son hadn't done anything wrong, and even if he did, it would be a privilege for you to touch him! Just like Mango

said, well give you a million and I'll add another two million for you to get out of Ocean City as soon as possible! From this day forwards, there will be no ties between you and the Ye Family!"

"No!"

Edolie instantly became agitated.

"No? You should know that if you didn't save my daughter, I would have cut off both your hands just for hitting my son!"

Nathaniel's words were not empty threats as he really planned to do that.

Hence, Edolie found that the man in front of her was cold- blooded and vicious, just like the first time when Nathaniel treated her indifferently back at the base.

Then, she suddenly looked at Zion who had a sly smile on his face.

The little brat did this on purpose!

"Did you trick me?"

Edolie could not believe that she had been tricked by a four-year-old child. RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only

What a cunning little boy!

He actually made use of his age and skills to set up a trap for Edolie, and she foolishly fell for it while he stood by and watched the 'carnage' unfold!

Of course, Zion didn't agree with what she said. So, he hurriedly lowered his head and made his shoulders tremble as he climbed onto Madam Ye's shoulders before he said in a soft voice, "Grandma, I'm scared."

At that, Madam Ye's heart nearly broke for her grandson.

She never really had the opportunity to spend time with her grandson before this, and this was the first time she'd seen him since he returned. Alas, Zion had been beaten so severely by the girl she nearly adopted as her goddaughter.

If Edolie was really brought into the Ye Family, wouldn't her grandson and granddaughter suffer in the future?

Hence, Madam Ye couldn't help but feel scared at the thought of this.

Then, Mango looked at Edolie coldly and said, "You screwed up everything yourself, so you can't blame anyone else but yourself. Just pack up and leave."

"You set me up! Mango, you used your son to trick me! You knew that I didn't know you had a son, so you used him to frame me!"

"Whatever floats your boat."

Mango didn't want to waste any more energy speaking to Edolie.

Honestly, Mango was rather foolish from the start. Why did she even choose to trust a malicious person like Edolie?

Then, Mango walked up to Madam Ye to pick up Zion from her shoulders, but Nathaniel grabbed her wrist to stop her. He said in a cold voice, "Wait a moment for me."

His voice was filled with barely-contained anger.

Thus, Mango knew that she wouldn't be able to avoid him.

She didn't know how to soothe Nathaniel's anger as well.

Then, she sighed softly. In truth, she brought all of this upon herself.

After that, Nathaniel immediately asked for someone to collect Eddie's things and he sent her away from Ocean City promptly.

Meanwhile, Eddie struggled and even swore as she accused Mango of being untrustworthy and possessive. However, she was ultimately gagged and she was put onto a private jet with a doctor before she was forcefully sent away.

When the room finally fell silent, Mango felt that the tense atmosphere was stifling.

She wanted to say something, but she couldn't bring herself to utter a single word.

How was she going to explain this?

There was no way to do it!

After that, Madam Ye sighed and she muttered to Zion who was in her arms. "How about I get some ointment for your face?"

"Okay!"

Zion didn't know what Nathaniel was angry about, but he dared not stay in the ward any longer.

His deception managed to trick Madam Ye, while Nathaniel and Mango haven't realized the truth of the situation since they were too worried about him. When they finally realized what had happened, they might spank him severely to teach him a lesson!

Hence, he took advantage of Madam Ye's presence as he clutched onto her thigh. He felt as if a horrible fate would befall him if he let go.

Meanwhile, Madam Ye had no idea what Zion was thinking now, only that she was distressed over his well-being.

Furthermore, she couldn't be bothered to care about whatever was going on between Nathaniel and Mango. Instead, she immediately carried Zion out of the room as she told everyone else to clear the room.

Ultimately, only Nathaniel and Mango were left inside the room.

Meanwhile, Mango felt that it was getting increasingly harder to breathe as she avoided Nathaniel's gaze.

For two days in a row, Nathaniel had to rush over here because of her and Zion.

What else could she say?

"You agreed to trade me away to Edolie for three months in exchange for Rita's kidney, right?"

Nathaniel interrupted Mango coldly and there was a trace of anger in his voice.

Then, her temper deflated immediately at his words.

"I didn't have a choice back then, okay?"

She muttered in a low voice.

She didn't want to do it, and this was the hardest decision in her entire life. However, her daughter was dying, so what other choice did she have?

The more Mango thought about it, the more aggrieved she felt.

At the time, Nathaniel was fighting for his life in the operating theatre and she was left alone, so what else could she do? Edolie was the only opportunity she had to save Rita!

Mango bit her lip guiltily as she thought of that, but then Nathaniel's indifferent voice reached her ears. "Why didn't you tell me about it after everything was over?"

"I was afraid that you'd be mad. Also, I didn't know how to tell you."

Mango answered in a demure tone.

However, Nathaniel was angered and distressed by her answer. Then, he asked coldly, "What if Edolie's request was for me to have sex with her? Would you agree to that as well?"
