The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye) novel Chapter 1028

"Charlotte, someone's calling you!"

"Okay, I'm coming!"

Charlotte looked apologetically at Mango and said, "Miss Shen, I'll go and pick up this call first. I'll get someone to deliver the food to you as soon as possible."

"Okay, go ahead."

"Remember to add one more chicken drumstick."

Rita reminded her in a serious manner.

Mango immediately burst into laughter when she heard this.

"Alright, alright, stop it. You're such a glutton!"

"Food is heaven! That's what Wisdom told me before, so I'm not ashamed to be a glutton!"

Rita said this straightforwardly.

Meanwhile, Mango did not say anything else either.

Soon, a server brought the family bucket to them, and there was indeed an extra drumstick in it.

Suddenly, Mango felt that Charlotte was an honest young lady.

She did not own the shop, and she was merely a shop assistant. Hence, it seemed that she had paid with her own money for the extra chicken drumstick.

Thus, Mango decided to pay her back for the drumstick.

After all, Charlotte was only a young lady that was trying to survive by doing part- time jobs, so Mango could not ask her to use her own money.

While she was pondering about this, Carmel had brought Elena with her.

Elena was no longer the imperious person she used to be, and she was hiding stiffly behind Carmel right now. However, she was still shaken up as she looked around and nervously walked up to Mango and Rita.

Mango did not have a good impression of her. However, she controlled her emotions for Rita's sake.

"Mrs. Ye, I'm sorry. Please forgive my ignorance! I'm already in a miserable state now. So, please... please can you spare me, regardless of what happened in the past?"

Elena was about to kneel when she saw Mango, but Carmel immediately lifted her feet to stop her.

She tried her best to kneel again but Carmel could prop her up easily with her foot.

Mango glanced around and saw that there was light refracting from a camera.

She let out a cold sneer when she saw this.

Heh! This b*tch had not learnt her lesson, and she was still trying to play tricks on her! However, it didn't matter to Mango as she was not in a hurry as well.

"Hmm... I think you're apologising to the wrong person. Elena, I don't know how you treated my daughter. My daughter might have told me about some of your actions, but I still don't know the truth. So, let's do this instead. Tell me what you did to my daughter in front of her and apologise to her. If you do that, I won't ask you to take responsibility for this any longer."

Mango demanded faintly.

Rita stopped eating once she saw that Elena had arrived. However, she did not move, nor did she look nervous, and she just sat there quietly. On the other hand, Mango felt distressed after seeing how calm she was, and she could barely restrain herself from beating Elena to death!

Of course, Elena was a smart person as well. Thus, she understood what Mango was trying to ask her to do.

Then, she quickly knelt before Rita, and Carmel did not stop her at that time.

Elena had knelt sincerely. Her knees hurt badly, but she could only endure the pain.

"Ms. Ye, it's my fault. I shouldn't have starved you or waked you up at midnight and asked you to pain. Also, I shouldn't have hit you or scolded you. It... it was my mistake! I was blinded by my own greed, so I did all these ruthless actions to a child like you! It's all my fault! Please... please forgive me!"

Mango clenched her fist when Elena started listing down her actions one by one. When Elena had finished talking, she didn't even realise that she was gripping her first so hard that her nails had pierced through her flesh.

That woman was such a b*tch!

How could she wake Rita up at midnight just to ask her to paint? Furthermore, she even starved Rita!

This was the reason why Emberly had said that Rita had been suffering from a lack of sleep.

Why was she such a ruthless b*tch?

How could she do this to a child?

Mango glared at Elena while these thoughts flooded her head, and she really wanted to beat Elena up right now!

Meanwhile, Rita looked at Mango while she furrowed her brows as if she was asking for her.

Thus, Mango tried her best to suppress her anger. She told Rita as calmly as she could, "Rita, you have to solve this problem on your own. I'll respect your decisions, so you can decide whether to forgive her or not."

Upon hearing that, Elena immediately grabbed Rita's leg, which made Rita shudder unconsciously.

"Let go of her! How could you touch her with your filthy hands?"

Carmel directly swatted Elena's hands away while she said this.

Only then did Elena release Rita and beg with tears on her face, "Ms. Ye, please... please, it's all my fault! Please forgive me. Think about it. I've taught you a lot of painting techniques, right? Even though I was strict with you, I did all that with good intentions! In fact, I did everything for your sake!"

Initially, Mango had dragged Elena here to make her apologise. However, she never expected the latter to be so shameless and try to twist the truth!

At this thought, Mango was in rage that she stood up at once. Suddenly, she heard Rita speaking.

"I know that Ms. Zhang has good intentions. After all, only strict teachers will produce excellent students. So, I understand that you did everything for my sake, but I'm sorry, I can't accept your apology."

Both Elena and Mango were stunned by her words.

Neither of them had expected Rita to say such a mature remark, especially Mango.

In fact, she had always remembered Rita as a glutton who would be happy whenever there was food. She was adorable, and everyone thought that she was a cute child. However, Mango seemed to have forgotten the most important thing.

Rita was still Nathaniel's daughter.

Zion was a genius, so how could Rita be a mediocre child?

Suddenly, when Mango saw how calm her daughter was, she could see how much Rita resembled Nathaniel right now.

Then, she started tearing up at this sight.

Rita was her daughter!

She felt upset when she thought about what Rita had gone through.

However, Elena was surprised to see how a four-year-old child could make such a mature remark. Wait... what did Rita say just now?

Did Rita turn her down?

She had refused to accept Elena's apology!

The expression on Elena's face changed gradually.

Rita picked up the drink in front of her and took a sip. Then, she said softly, "I don't think that everyone that made mistakes should be forgiven. Ms. Elena, do you know that I can't fall asleep at night now because of you? So, how can I forgive you for traumatising me just because of your apology?"

"What... what do you want me to do then?"

Elena couldn't help but frown, and an impatient gaze flashed through her eyes.

Then, Rita took out her phone from her pocket and said faintly, "I've already recorded what you have said just now. I'll get the policeman to talk to you!"
