The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye) novel Chapter 1361

"Nah, I think Mr. Gaylord wouldn't dare to this."

"Hah! He wouldn't dare to do this? I think that he'll probably be willing to do anything!"

Priscila snorted coldly and said softly, I want a list of everyone who is working for Bernard, can you get that for me?"

"Princess, you're forcing me a bit too much here! If Mr. Gaylord found out that I betrayed, him, he would kill me!"

"Do you think that he wouldn't think that you've betrayed him now? Bernard gets suspicious easily. I'm sure that you can't win his trust back no matter what you do just because you've slept with my maid! Therefore, instead of letting him suspect you, you should work for me instead. I'll definitely guarantee your safety!"

Hence, now that Priscilla had made such a tempting offer, the guard immediately changed his mind.

After that, when Priscilla told Mango and Nathaniel the news, Mango immediately started to admire Priscilla.

"Wow! She's really good at getting information from other people!

Mango was praising Priscilla sincerely.

On the other hand, Nathaniel neither agreed nor said anything. If he praised Priscilla, he knew that Mango would only get mad at him.

When Mango saw that Nathaniel did not know what to say, she kicked him and said, "Hey! Why aren't you saying anything?"

"Huh? What did you say?"

Nathaniel played dumb as he looked at Mango.

Mango glared at him before replying, "Hah! I'm sure that you're plotting something secretly!"

"What? No, I'm not plotting anything! I was thinking about something, so I didn't hear what you said just now."

Nathaniel continue to spout nonsense with a serious face.

On the other hand, Mango did not expose him. Instead, she asked, "What were you thinking about?"

"How do we send Aunt Mckenzie out tomorrow?"

Mango pondered for a moment before whispering, "I've called Magnolia. She said that Tristan is one of her subordinates, so we can use him anytime."

"Oh?"

Nathaniel was a little surprised when he heard this.

Then, Mango told him what had happened to Henry.

After hearing what Mango had said, Nathaniel's face turned a little solemn.

"Are you saying that Magnolia has been poisoned?"

"Yeah, I think so."

Mango felt that she had almost gotten to the bottom of this mystery.

After all, Laborn was a heartless man. In fact, he would've treated Magnolia a little better if she had fallen in love with him. However, Magnolia only had eyes for Barack, and she was only pretending to like Laborn. Hence, he would never leave her be.

However, Laborn had left Magnolia alive until now because she was useful. Thus, he had poisoned her slowly so that he could control her easily. Alas! Laborn was such a sneaky guy indeed.

If they hadn't met the doctor today, Magnolia wouldn't have known what Laborn did to her, even after her death. Furthermore, Lebanon would have died at a young age because of this poison as well.

However, did Laborn know that Lebanon had been poisoned as well?

Or was only Bernard involved in this?

Mango didn't know the answer to this question, and she couldn't figure it out.

Meanwhile, Nathaniel pondered for a moment and said, "You have also been to Lebanon's palace. Tomorrow, you should get Prisca to get the doctor here so that he can do a quick check up on you."

"Nah, I'm fine, I only stayed there for a short while."

"No! It'll be too late if something happens to you."

Nathaniel said this as he was really scared.

Right now, Mango's body was too weak. What if the incense was really poisonous? Furthermore, what if Mango had been poisoned as well.

When Mango saw how worried Nathaniel was, she said hurriedly, "Alright, alright, I'll listen to you."

"You must listen to me! The palace is a dangerous place, and the people here will use any means to get what they want. So, you should be more careful! Wait, no, you should stick with me at all times unless you have something to do!"

Nathaniel held Mango's hand nervously as he said this.

His palms were dry and warm, so Mango felt touched from the bottom of her heart."

"Also, why are you only nagging me? You went to Lebanon's palace too, right? We should get the doctor to check up on us both then."

"All right."

Nathaniel did not refuse Mango's suggestion.

After that, both of them stayed in their room all day long, and they even got someone to send dinner to their room.

The next day, when the sun had just risen, there was a commotion only.

Mango didn't manage to get enough sleep, so she was furious as she had been woken up by the noise.

"Urgh! What's going on? Why are you making so much noise early in the morning?"

Nathaniel felt a little distressed and said, "Today, Laborn wants to hold a banquet to invite Tristan. So, he ordered everyone to wake up early to prepare for the banquet. If you think that it's noisy, I could cover your ears so that you can go back to sleep."

"Nah, I don't think I can fall back asleep."

Mango shook her head and sat up as she said this.

It was very noisy outside. She yawned and rubbed her sleepy eyes before leaning on Nathaniel's shoulder. Then, she muttered, "Wow! I can't believe Laborn would go to such lengths to welcome Tristan. Who do you think is more talented? Tristan or Bettany?"

"I don't know."

Before this, Nathaniel had never heard of Tristan's name. Moreover, he did not know much about the medical field. Hence, he didn't know anything about Tristan at all.

Previously, he had wanted to call Noah to find out about this. However, Mango had already called Magnolia yesterday, so he was afraid that their enemies would spot them if he made another call now.

"Hmm, I guess we should ask Priscilla later. She probably knows something about this."

"Alright, you can ask her about it then."

Nathaniel was currently trying his best to avoid meeting with Priscilla as he didn't want Mango to misunderstand him. This was because his wife was really stubborn when she was jealous!

"All right."

Mango did not refuse his suggestion as well.

Meanwhile, Mango had been talking to Nathaniel for so long, but she still yawned.

"Maybe you should sleep a little more."

"Nah, I don't think I can fall back asleep. Why don't you carry me to the bathroom so I can wash up instead?"

Mango said that as she crawled into Nathaniel's

embrace lazily.

Wow! His wife had thrown herself into his arms early in the morning! How could Nathaniel resist this?"
