The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye) novel Chapter 1012

"Mango, what do you mean? Why don't I understand your words at all?"

However, Mango let out a sneer and said, "Heh. Aunt Lacey, don't you truly not understand what I'm talking about? I've been back for quite a while, so aren't you curious about Sisi's condition? After all, you've never asked about Sisi since I came in."

When Laney heard this, her expression sank slightly, but she still replied with a smile, "You're her sister-in-law. If she didn't come back after you took her for a prenatal checkup, that means she has probably been admitted to the hospital, right? Sisi hasn't been in good health recently. I expected this and prepared myself for this, so I didn't ask much either. After all, you're her sister-in-law, so you won't harm her, right?"

Mango couldn't refute what Laney had said at all. Thus, she was sure that Laney knew that she wouldn't abandon Sisi no matter what.

At this thought, Mango couldn't help but ridicule herself.

"Wow! Aunt, you're so open-minded, so you're not worried about her because she went out with me!" "Of course!"

Laney agreed almost immediately to Mango's statement.

Mango placed her hand on the old duck soup and smiled, "Shall I get a doctor to test if there's any drug components inside it?"

"Huh? What do you mean?"

At this point, Laney could no longer retain her smile as she was slightly irritated.

On the other hand, Mango directly poured the old duck soup onto the ground and said indifferently, "I ran into Newell halfway here. He suddenly passed out by the roadside, and he was trembling all over! Hence, I sent him to the hospital. Can you guess what the doctor said?"

When Laney heard this question, she immediately evaded Mango's gaze.

All of a sudden, she flipped the table over!

However, Mango had long braced herself for this. She quickly took a step backward, but she almost got hurt. Hence, Laney wanted to grab this opportunity to flee, but Carmel immediately reacted and pinned her to the wall instead.

"Hah! How dare you run away from me with these mediocre skills of yours?"

Carmel looked at Laney with contempt as she asked this.

Laney was immobile as Carmel had pinned her on the wall, but she still said spitefully, "Bah! Mango, you'll never be able to escape even if you catch me. All my men are standing by outside. Nathaniel is now trapped in the police station, and you are completely beyond his reach. If you dare to lay a finger on me, I swear that I'll cut your dead body up so that you can't rest in peace!"

Mango scratched her ears and found that she didn't understand why Laney could continue to be so shameless.

"You're such a smart person, so why are you acting dumb now? Although Nathaniel isn't around, I'm still a member of the Hans family. My grandpa will help me anytime! What makes you think those people outside can harm me? Do you think that they can fight against both the Hans and the Xiao family?"

"I know well that both the Hans and the Xiao family are powerful. However, they may require time to come over even after you call them. By then, my people will already subdue you, so they have to listen to me as well!"

After hearing Laney's words, Mango became slightly vigilant.

After all, Laney was not a fool, and she was only so successful now because she was patient enough to carry out her plans step by step. Thus, how could they subdue someone as scheming as her so easily?

Mango always felt that this whole incident was a little weird.

"Madam, don't talk nonsense with her. Let me get rid of her now! Urgh! How can someone as evil as her be alive till now?"

Carmel was a straightforward person, so she wanted to solve all her problems by force.

However, Mango shook her head and said, "Something seems not right. Laney, what else are you plotting now? I might have met Newell by coincidence. However, you know that you can't use Sisi's current condition to trap me. Why would someone as smart as you lose so easily? Also, why are you trying to get rid of me now?"

When Laney heard this, she couldn't help but glance at Mango with a trace of admiration in her eyes.

"Mango, I have to admit that if you weren't Nathaniel's wife, I might have kept you alive."

Mango frowned slightly after hearing this but did not say anything.

"Oh no!"

Mango suddenly realized something and quickened her pace towards outside. It was terribly quiet outside indeed!

Carmel was afraid that Mango would be in danger, so she quickly let go of Laney and dragged Mango back.

"Madam, what are you doing?!"

"Our people..."

"It's too late. They have already been subdued."

Laney smiled indifferently as she said this and calmly stood up. She even straightened up her clothes and looked at Mango with admiration on her face.

"You're smart indeed, Mango. However, it's a pity that your tactics were slightly inferior compared to mine."

"What's going on here?"

Carmel was confused. In fact, when she saw Laney's smug expression, she was so enraged that she wanted to go and subdue Laney again, but Mango stopped her instead.

"Forget it, Carmel. We lost this round."

"What?"

Carmel was even more confused now.
