The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye) novel Chapter 1014

Lebanon was calling her!

Mango restrained the emotions in her eyes and swiped the answer button.

"Has Gisella boarded the plane?"

"Not yet. I've heard that you caught Laney. Is that right?"

Lebanon was indeed well-informed.

After all, he had received this news immediately once Mango had subdued Laney. In fact, Mango suspected that Lebanon had even installed a surveillance system to watch over her!

"Why do you want to do with Laney?"

It would be troublesome for Mango to deal with Laney right now, and she didn't know what to do with her either. However, she was still astonished to hear Lebanon asking for Laney.

Thus, Lebanon didn't hide his real intentions from her. Instead, he whispered, "Bernard and my brother are both close friends. I've heard that Laney was the mastermind behind the murder of Alfred, so I want this person. Also, I'm sure that the police will release Nathaniel once she gives her statement."

"Nathan didn't kill anyone. So, he wouldn't have been convicted even if Laney didn't make her statement."

After all, Mango understood how important Alfred was to Lebanon.

Since Alfred was dead, it was reasonable for Lebanon to kill Laney as she was the mastermind behind this whole incident. However, Mango still wished to defend Nathaniel.

Lebanon paused for a moment and softened his tone when he heard this.

"I'm begging you, please? If I can't take revenge for Alfred on my own, I'll don't think I can eat or sleep well."

Mango sighed and said, "Ah... what are you going to do to her?"

"Don't worry about these things. Anyway, I promise that you won't see Laney in the future, and she won't stir up troubles anymore."

In fact, Laney was useless to Mango. Also, when she thought about how Laney and Sisi were related, she felt that it was not a good idea for her to punish Laney herself. Thus, handing over Laney to Lebanon would be a smart decision.

"Alright, let's do that."

"Thank you, Mango."

Lebanon hung up the call soon after he finished his words.

Once Lebanon hung up the call, the mysterious person standing behind him said, "We've already handed Gisella over to the Ye family. She will be boarding the plane tonight, but it seems that Lexis has received the news. Do you think we need to intervene in the matter?"

"Nah. If Nathaniel can't settle this minor problem himself, he doesn't deserve to be one of the four most influential people in Ocean City."

Lebanon had not smiled ever since the death of Alfred.

After all, he had fallen into a depressed state since then.

Thus, the mysterious guard said with some concern, "However, Nathaniel is in the police station after all, so it's inconvenient for him to take action himself now."

"Inconvenient? Heh! You've underestimated him! Although Bernard might have put him in a troublesome situation, this doesn't mean that he can't do anything. We can't take any action now because even the slightest move will expose our real intentions. Though Lexis suspects me now, he can't do anything without evidence. Ask our men to remain silent and not to take any action even though Lexis is luring us. Try to preserve our strength as much as possible."

"Got it!"

The mysterious shadow answered before retreating.

Meanwhile, Lebanon leaned against the French window and looked at the sea in front of him with his eyes half-closed. Nobody knew what he was thinking.

On the other hand, Mango hung up the call and told Carmel, "Ask someone to arrange for a helicopter tonight and send Laney away."

"Huh? Where are we sending her to?"

Carmel knew that Mango had just answered the call in, but she didn't know the person on the other end of the line. What was the person trying to do with Laney?

However, Mango didn't reply to her, and she left the Ye's Mansion instead.

After all, she felt the old mansion was extremely empty and lonely with Nathaniel.

When Mango returned to the military courtyard, Brantley was busy with something in his study, so Mango didn't disturb him either.

She asked Carmel to look for Emberly so that the latter could rebandage her wounds.

Emberly sighed slightly and said, "Alas! Are you going to leave your wound be? What did you do? How could your stitches reopen two times in a day! Mango, can you please remember that you're actually a patient? If you continue to work this hard, I'll tie you to the bed!"

However, Mango laughed Emberly's threat off casually.

"I'm going to have a good rest once this incident is over."

"Hah! I don't believe you at all."

Emberly rolled her eyes at Mango when she said this.

Then, Mango laid prone on the bed and felt a slight pain in her wounds while Emberly was treating him.

She bit her lower lip and asked, "Do you have any news about Nathan? How is his neuralgia?"

"I think his symptoms were probably alleviated. Don't worry. A grown man like him can hold his pain."

However, Mango immediately became upset when she heard what Emberly said.

"Do you talk to Eugene in this attitude too?"

"What do you think? Why would I dote on someone like him?"

Emberly said these words straightforwardly.

Although Emberly had said these words in contempt, Mango could tell that she was really in love with Eugene.

Ah, she admired how lovers like them could stay together with each other.

On the other hand, she was lonely, and she had no one to warm her bed at night.

At this thought, Mango felt even more depressed.

"When will Nathan be back?"

"He will be back once the case is settled. However, I've heard that Lebanon is not going to continue investigating the cause of Alfred's death anymore."

Mango was slightly stunned when she heard what Emberly had said.

"What? Is he going to give up like that? Alfred is just his manager. How can he make this decision on his own?"

"I'm afraid that you still don't know Lebanon's true identity yet."
