The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye) novel Chapter 1302

Mango's heart skipped a beat when she heard this.

How could Bettany be this impatient?

Was she out of her mind? How could she enter Mango's room without permission?

In this dire moment, Mango could not open the door!

Meanwhile, Bettany's alarming move startled Maverick as well. He couldn't help but keep his eyes on Mango and remained silent.

As Bettany didn't see Mango when she came into the room, she was naturally confused.

"Where did she go? I didn't see her go out at all!

Bettany said to herself. Moments later, there was the sound of her searching through the room.

Mango could hear Bettany's movements, but she couldn't see what's going on, so she started panicking.

On the other hand, Maverick signalled her not to act rashly. So the two of them held their breath and listened attentively to what was going on in the room.

After a long search, it appeared that Bettany had finally found something, so the latter then left the room in a hurry.

However, Mango didn't open the chamber door right away as she was worried that someone would come back again. Instead, she waited for a while longer before finally opening the exit and getting out.

The layout in the room seemed no different from before, but Mango knew that Bettany had definitely moved something.

There were traces of items being moved on the table. These traces weren't clearly visible, but Mango was sharp enough to see them.

She walked over to a drawer and slid it open before taking a look at what was inside.

"Did anything disappear?"

Maverick came by afterwards and asked.

Mango shook her head and denied, "No, but there's something new in here."

"What is it?"

"This."

After hearing this question, Mango passed an incense bottle to Maverick.

"Although I can't tell what this is for, it doesn't quite belong to me."

Mango claimed as she was confused as well.

Then, Maverick took the bottle close to his nose and took a whiff, and his frown immediately lightened as he realised what it was.

"This is it! It's the antidote for the poison inside Nathaniel."

"Poison? Are you talking about those golden threads?"

Mango was a little surprised when she heard this.

Then, Maverick nodded and entered the secret chamber with the antidote. Meanwhile, Mango followed along without hesitation.

After feeding Nathaniel the antidote, his face slowly relaxed, and his breathing became more saturated.

When Maverick saw this, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Okay, it's all going well now."

"Is the Golden Lancehead Venom still in his body?"

This was the question that had troubled Mango all along.

Maverick nodded and reassured, "Don't worry. The Golden Lancehead Venom will only benefit his body, and it won't harm him. That is something you don't have to worry about."

"But how could I not be worried if that thing is still inside him? Plus, Bettany was the one who gave the venom to him. There is only one reason why Bettany would come in and give us the antidote. She knew that Nathan had returned and that the vermin inside him was starting to act up. This means the parasite in Nathan has to be from Bettany. If not, this would be too much of a coincidence!"

Mango lowered her voice and spoke with a solemn gaze.

"Besides, Bettany accused Angela of being a traitor, and then Rita led Angela into the campsite and found Morgan there. After that, we somehow lost all contact with them. Then by some rare chance, that vermin that Angela used to send us a message was discovered by Bettany. Maverick, these are all falling into place way too perfectly, don't you think?"

Mango was not willing to suspect Bettany. In fact, she had suspected Bettany before. However, Mango did not have enough evidence, and Bettany had saved Nathaniel once before. Hence, she started to change her mind, but now, she started to think that Bettany was the spy again.

After all, Angela had no reason to betray them. The best explanation would be that it was a set-up organized by Bettany. She was probably stuck somewhere with Morgan right now. Otherwise, she might have had an accident.

Maverick frowned and didn't say anything. He concurred with Mango's reasoning, but he felt that something was still off.

"Maybe you're right. The traitor could be Bettany, but look at what Bettany has done today. She literally exposed herself! Isn't she worried that you will kill her? Even if you are kind enough not to, Nathaniel will return to his position of lord of Longford County once he wakes up. He could easily kill Bettany by then, so I'm confused about this."

Of course, Mango had the same thoughts as Maverick, but she could not make any conclusions out of these deductions.

"Forget it! It's useless for us to keep speculating, and I'd rather tie Bettany up and interrogate her straightaway. Even if she was suspicious, we can't do anything to her now! She snuck into our room and gave us the antidote because she knew that we needed it now. Then, she made her escape whilst we were using her antidote. This is a beneficial situation for both of us as no one got hurt. That's what Bettany has been planning!"

Mango finished her sentence and left the chamber.

She went her way to find Bettany and even called other people to take her to Bettany's place. As expected, Bettany had already left.

It was apparent that Bettany made her leave in a rush because she had left a lot of items behind.

Mango's expression turned grim when she saw this.

Meanwhile, Wisdom heard the news and rushed over. When he noticed that Bettany's room was being searched, he felt slightly upset.

"Mommy, what did my master do again?"

When Wisdom said the word 'again', he felt embarrassed.

After all, he knew that his mommy and daddy had given his master too many chances.

Then, Mango looked at Wisdom whilst patting his head and said, "It doesn't matter what she has done. It has nothing to do with you, so go back and get some rest, okay?"

Wisdom's eyes were teary as he was trying not to cry But at this moment, Mango simply didn't have the spare time to comfort him.

"Find her! I don't care if you have to flip this entire place upside down today, you have to find her!"

Mango was so furious that she could murder anyone right now.
