The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye) novel Chapter 1525

"I'm afraid that the girl is in danger."

Mango bent forward as she whispered into Nathaniel's ear in a low voice.

The people outside were too noisy. If she didn't get close enough, Nathaniel would not be able to hear her clearly. However, at this moment, he was focused on observing any possible danger outside. All of a sudden, he felt a surge of warm air beside his ears, which elicited a tingling sensation. He couldn't help but shudder as it felt like electricity passing through his body. As to Mango's words, he didn't hear her clearly.

Mango was about to say something when the little girl lost her balance and directly fell off the wire. In an instant, everyone around her let out a shout of surprise and horror.

Nathaniel intended to help, but he could not get through the huge crowd blocking his way. He saw the little girl fall from above and even heard the sound of bones cracking.

Mango was a mother as well. The little girl didn't seem to be much older than her own child. She didn't even know if she was older than Zion and Rita. It was obvious that she was malnourished from her skinny body and sallow complexion.

Now that she had fallen from the height, the onlookers cried out in shock. Mango asked Nathaniel to let go of her. Then she pushed the crowd aside and walked over. However, she saw a ferocious look on a man who seemed to be the leader of the acrobatics team. He immediately whipped the whip he was holding towards the little girl.

"Bastard! You ruined the show. Did you do it on purpose? Tell me! Did you?"

The whip cut through the air mercilessly. Everyone shuddered in fright in its ferocious wake.

Mango's heart skipped a beat as she quickened her steps. However, she was still too late. The whip slammed into the girl's thin body with a slap and instantly tore her clothes apart.

She shivered and raised her head all of a sudden. There was an overwhelming hatred in her eyes, but she clenched her teeth tightly to endure the pain. Cold sweat was forming on her forehead as she clasped her hands together tightly. If she was able to do it, Mango had no doubts that she would kill the leader.

The people around her was appalled.

"I'm sure the child didn't fall down on purpose, did she? She is so young. Why would he hit her?"

"Yes, she might have broken her bones. We'd better send her to the hospital."

Many people around them were also mothers. They felt sorry for the girl when they saw her in this state. Thus, they started to discuss among themselves.

However, the team leader saw the hateful look in Sissaye's eyes. He slashed the whip at her again in a fit of rage.

"Why are you glaring at me? How dare you glare at me after ruining my business!"

Just as the whip was about to reach the girl, Mango stepped forward and grabbed it. The icy look in her eyes turned colder.

"Don't you know that beating minors is against the law? I can sue you for your behavior just now!"

The team leader did not expect someone else to interfere in this matter. He could not help but glare at Mango.

Nathaniel went forward and kicked him in the waist. The latter was knocked to the ground directly in the process.

"How dare you glare at my wife! You have some balls! Trust me, I will gouge your eyes out if you glare at her again."

Nathaniel had the aura of a top dog. Right now, he looked even more domineering, so the leader was intimidated by him.

He couldn't afford to offend Nathaniel.

The team leader had years of working experience, so it was only natural for him to be good at observing others. He didn't take Mango seriously at all. However, with Nathaniel around, he was afraid that he had likely offended the local gangs, so he didn't dare to go against the former. He had no choice but to say, "This girl is my niece. Her father had instructed her to work with me."

"Even so, you have no right to beat her! Besides, this was an accident and she was hurt. You have to send her to the hospital no matter what."

Nathaniel was a father himself, so he naturally felt sorry for the child.

When the leader heard that he had to pay for her treatment, he couldn't help but furrow his brows.

"The girl's father owes me money. I don't have the money for her treatment as well, so..."

"Do you have a heart? The girl has been badly injured, but you are thinking about money!"

Mango noticed that even though the little girl was silent, her entire body was shivering. Cold sweat was forming constantly on her forehead and her face was as white as a sheet.

However, the leader was heartless and coldblooded. This made Mango feel protective of the girl.

"Come with me. I'll take you to the hospital."

Mango spoke as she was about to bend down and take the girl into her arms. However, the leader shouted immediately, "No! If you want to take her with you, you must return the money that her father owed. I'm not a charitable person. I have mouths to feed. Back then, her father promised me that she would perform in the streets in order to clear his debt. Now, you're asking me to pay for her treatment. Absolutely not!"

Nathaniel frowned slightly. He looked at Mango and the girl in her arms. Although he didn't want to meddle in other people's business, he felt sympathy when he looked into the girl's eyes.

"How much is it?"

"I beg your pardon?"

The leader was somewhat astonished.

Nathaniel said coldly, "How much is her father's debt to you?"

"Ten thousand dollars!"

When the team leader heard that Nathaniel wanted to pay the debt for the girl's father, he said hastily.

The girl didn't say anything since her fall. Even though she was in great pain, she didn't let out a cry. However, she spoke when she heard the leader's words.

"He is talking nonsense. My father only owes him 5,000 dollars!"

"Don't I need to take the interest into account? Your father owes me 5,000 dollars for more than one year. He sent you to me to pay off his debt. Then he borrowed another 5,000 dollars from me. This is the receipt."

The leader immediately took out the receipt upon hearing this.

The girl looked terrible in the face. At this moment, she bit her lower lip. There was a trace of anger and despair in her eyes.
