The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye) novel Chapter 379

Mango's expression suddenly turned serious when she saw Madam Hans step outside.

No matter what, she couldn't be stubborn with Madam Hans today because of what Zion had done.

"Madam Hans."

Mango called out faintly.

The old lady felt a little awkward when Mango addressed her by name, but she snorted coldly before she said, "What? If you have something to say to me, then say it to my face. How dare you allow your child to destroy my home like this? Do you think that the Hans Family are pushovers? Mango, I won't acknowledge you even if you ask your son to demolish my home! Don't think that I won't do anything just because your child did this!"

Nathaniel wanted to interject when he heard Madam Hans' harsh words, but Mango stopped him.

Then, she smiled faintly before she replied, "Madam Hans, I think you must be mistaken. I want nothing to do with the Hans Family. However, what happened today was my son's mistake, so do tell us how you want to settle it."

A terrible ache ripped through Madam Hans' chest when she saw Mango's indifferent expression, but she refused to put down her pride. She snorted before she replied, "You should tell me how you plan to deal with this instead."

"For everything that the Hans family has lost, the Ye Family will compensate double the value."

Nathaniel didn't feel like listening to Madam Hans any longer, so he cut in.

After that, Madam Hans' eyes widened.

"Do you think that my family lacks money?"

"Then what do you want? Hurry up and answer me!"

Truth be told, Nathaniel did not intend on letting Mango spend too much time with Madam Hans. Right now, they couldn't do anything to Madam Hans, so wouldn't it be better if they settled this quickly? At least he would be able to take Mango home for dinner.

Madam Hans was already upset, but Nathaniel's flippant manner caused her to become even angrier.

"Look at my face, it's covered with paint! Your son shot me with paintballs! If I had waited any longer to wash it off, I would need to slough my skin off!"

When Madam Hans recalled the stinging pain on her face, she wanted nothing more than to whip Zion.

Then, Nathaniel burst into laughter.

"Well, I'll ask him to use something else since paint is so hard to wash off."

"You..."

Madam Hans was so angry that she almost passed out.

Meanwhile, Mango tugged at Nathaniel's sleeve and looked at him wordlessly.

They had both agreed to come and solve the problem, not to aggravate the situation. However, why did it feel like Nathaniel was riling up Madam Hans on purpose? Mango was afraid that this issue would persist if they really pissed her off.

Then, Nathaniel held back when he saw Mango tugging at his shirtsleeve.

On the other hand, Madam Hans' servants tried their best to soothe her and someone even handed her a cup of hot water.

She finally calmed down after she sipped some water. Next, she looked at Mango angrily and said, "Birds of a feather flock together indeed. I'm not going to let this go easily. Since your son attacked me, I need to return the favor. Kneel! All will be well after I've whipped you ten times."

Upon hearing Madam Hans's words, Nathaniel's expression shifted immediately.

"Madam Hans, you'd better think this through. My son being mischievous is one thing, but hitting my wife is another. Let's see who dares hit my wife as long as I'm here!"

At the same time, Mango's expression soured as well.

After all, Zion was still a child. Of course, he couldn't be absolved of all responsibility, but it was illogical to lash her for it.

Then, Madam Hans and Mango shared a tense look.

"What? Are you unwilling to do that? If you refuse to comply, then get out of here! Tomorrow, I will let everyone know how badly you raised your son. I want to see what the public thinks of you then!"

Then, Madam Hans smirked wickedly. She was deliberately using Zion to go against Mango.

Conversely, Mango also knew that Madam Hans was using Zion as an excuse to punish her.

The incidents with Andrea and Queena had caused a lot of frustration within Madam Hans, but she was unable to take it out on Mango because of Terrance. So, the old lady wouldn't give up this opportunity so easily.

Then, Nathaniel glanced at Mango for a minute with a complicated gaze before he pulled her behind him.

"Madam Hans, if you really want to hit somebody to vent your anger, then so be it! Since Zion has made a mistake, I should be the one to take responsibility for it. Ten lashes, right? Come on then!"

While Nathaniel said that, he unbuttoned his shirt immediately and revealed his strong chest.

Then, Mango's eyes filled with tears.

"Don't do this, you know that she's targeting me."

"We're husband and wife anyway. What's the difference if I get whipped instead of you? At the end of the day, Madam Hans just wants to vent her anger. Well, let's fulfill her wish."

Nathaniel did not mince his words.

Although Madam Hans' plan was exposed, she was not angered. Instead she smiled and said, "Sure. It's not like I'm forcing you anyway."

"Come on then and cut the crap! But Madam Hans, I'll have to warn you not to take it too far. If not, you'll never be able to salvage this relationship."

Hence, his words provoked Madam Hans' anger.

"Give me the whip!"

The Hans Family was an established family of military and political figures, so their children were no stranger to the whip.
