The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye) novel Chapter 1343

"It sounds like several people are coming our way. Could it be the escorts that Priscilla had assigned to pick us up? If so, I think they're making too much noise!"

Mckenzie was joking around despite the seriousness of the situation.

On the other hand, Mango's face darkened.

Then, Mckenzie looked at her and said in a low voice, "Do you want to call Nathaniel? He should still be just around here since he left a few moments ago. It's still not too late to get him back here."

Mango looked at the bracelet on her hand and shook her head slightly before saying, "No, it's not necessary. It's too risky for him to come back. Besides, I don't want him both of us to be in danger together too."

"But are you going to sacrifice yourself? You know that women are scary when they're jealous. What if Priscilla doesn't want to kill you but torture you?"

"Nah, I don't think she's such a person."

Mango said firmly. Upon hearing this, Mckenzie was slightly taken aback.

"Well, I think that you have quite a good impression of your love rival."

Mango smiled bitterly.

Indeed, aside from the fact that Priscilla liked Nathaniel, Mango actually admired how capable she was. Sadly, their stances were different.

Although they had never met before, Mango felt that if Priscilla really wanted to get rid of her, the latter would definitely do it without hesitation.

Priscilla wouldn't torture or inflict suffering on her. Instead, she would kill her directly.

Thus, even though this was sudden thought, Mango believed that it was true.

After all, Mango understood Priscilla's personality from what Nathaniel had said about her. Priscilla was a straightforward person who never beat around this bush when it came to love.

Therefore, she wanted such a person to be Nathaniel's ally and not his enemy.

These were Mango's thoughts, but Mckenzie didn't understand them, so she only said softly, "What do you plan to do now? I think the people are coming closer to us now!"

The situation was already out of Mango's control, so she grabbed Mckenzie's hand and whispered, "Follow me."

"Do you know this place?"

Mango did not speak. Instead, she quickly hid somewhere with Mckenzie.

In the end, she found a perfect hiding place that Mckenzie never expected as well.

"Wow! You're amazing! How did you know that there was a trashcan here?"

In the past, Mckenzie used to be a picky person. However, after being imprisoned for so many years, she could care less about those petty things as the most important to her was to stay safe. Therefore, she didn't show any hesitation when Mango pulled her into the trashcan.

Then, Mango replied softly, "When I just got off the car, I looked around and found that it was hard to stay hidden in an open space like this. The only place I could think of was this trash can. Luckily, there's not much garbage inside."

"Wow! You have such impressive observation skills. Well, it seems like you were already on guard of Priscilla from the very beginning, and you never trusted her before. But didn't you admire her before this?"

After all, Mckenzie still remembered how Mango had praised Priscilla previously. However, she was surprised by how fast Mango's perception of Priscilla changed overnight. Did something happen in the past three days that she didn't know about?

Mango observed the surroundings and whispered, "Aunt, how did you know that Priscilla was interested in Nathan?"

If Nathaniel hadn't confessed this matter to her, she wouldn't have noticed it. However, Mckenzie seemed to know it from the beginning, so Mango sighed in frustration.

However, Mckenzie said nonchalantly, "Well, it was pretty obvious because of how she was acting. Remember when Nathaniel asked her to protect me? She agreed immediately, and that was when I noticed something strange about her. If she was just a subordinate, she wouldn't have agreed to it for her team's sake. However, she had compromised to Nathaniel's request and even took such a great risk to bring us into the palace. Well, she probably either wants to help us sincerely or she has other intentions. Anyway, I can tell that she's good at managing her subordinates from the way Kash was willing to risk everything to help her. In this case, it's not that difficult for her to send us all away. During the snowstorm, she had a good chance to send us away if she had someone working for her outside. Instead, she brought us to this dangerous place, so I think that she could be scheming

something against us."

Upon hearing Mckenzie's words, Mango sighed and said, "Aunt, why didn't you say this earlier?"

"Alas! Nathaniel trusts Priscilla the most. I'm just an outsider, so how could I talk about this? I don't want to get into trouble, alright?"

Mckenzie had always been aware of how cruel the world was. If it wasn't for the fact that Mango was Terrance's niece, she probably would not even have said these words to her.

On the other hand, Mango always thought that she was experienced and was confident in her capabilities. However, she did not expect that she was still less experienced than Mckenzie.

"But if your speculations are correct, Nathan should've noticed that as well, right?"

"That's because she's Nathaniel's most trusted subordinate. Well, rather, she's a comrade that he had gone through life and death with. Thus, he's probably not cautious of her."

Mckenzie's guess was pretty accurate.

Thus, Mango nodded slightly and said, "Yes, she once saved Nathan's life."

"I see."

After the two finished speaking, the sound of footsteps came closer, so they could only keep quiet.

From the crack, Mango saw two guards that were in charge of the palace's security. Then, they glanced at each other before walking away separately.

It seemed that they were not here to kill them nor to pick them up.
