The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye) novel Chapter 393

"Rainie!"

Thomas felt like he was in big trouble now.

Rainie had always been the most staunch protector of Mango, and it took a lot of effort for Thomas to stop Rainie from doing anything when Nathaniel and Andrea's scandal came to light. Now, he blamed himself for saying too much.

After he stopped Rainie with great difficulty, Thomas hurriedly said, "I swear that I'll go and bring Mr. Ye back, okay? Stay here, the Ye Family has enough to deal with and plus the kids are there. It's possible that they don't know about what happened, so what will they do if you kick up a fuss?"

Then, Rainie suddenly stopped in her tracks.

She could ignore the world if it meant that Mango would be okay, but Rainie was hesitant when it involved the children.

Thomas was right. Zion and Rita were still young, and this incident would be a huge blow to their emotional well-being. Even if it were fake, it would still affect them.

Meanwhile, Thomas breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Rainie regain her senses.

"You stay home and take care of yourself. I swear I'll bring Nathaniel back, okay?"

"Let him be. He'll know what he lost once Mango leaves him."

Rainie was so angry that she turned around and went back to her room.

Of course Thomas knew that Rainie was worried about Mango, and it was a blessing to have a friend like her.

He smiled before he abided by Nathaniel's instructions and got the money. After all, he'd been working for Nathaniel for a long time and he knew that Nathaniel wouldn't do anything out of the ordinary.

He didn't ask about Andrea, but he knew that Nathaniel would never find another woman, much less Andrea.

So when Nathaniel asked him to go to the casino, his boss must have his own plans.

When Thomas brought the money, Nathaniel had already changed into casual clothing as he held a cigarette which was lit up in his hand. However, he did not smoke it and instead just twirled it around in his fingers, deep in thought.

"Mr. Ye."

Then, Thomas came forward and greeted him which snapped Nathaniel out of his reverie.

"Oh, you're here?"

"Yup."

After that, Thomas got into the car and he couldn't help but ask when he saw Nathaniel worried expression. "Why do you want to go to the casino?"

"It seems like a good idea to experience new things,"

Since Nathaniel didn't seem like he wanted to talk, Thomas didn't ask further and they made their way to one of the smaller casinos in Ocean City. Soon after, Nathaniel had managed to lose all of his money.

"I don't want to play anymore, let's try this again tomorrow."

Nathaniel didn't really mind that he'd lost a few million and he casually walked away.

Naturally, the people in the casino were all smiles as they encouraged him. "Mr. Ye, you're rather unlucky today, so how about you try again tomorrow?"

"Again? This is the first time I'm here, and yet I've lost five million dollars already. You still want me to come and throw money at you? In your dreams! Ocean City has plenty of casinos, and I don't believe that none will let me win."

Nathaniel's words caused the casino staff to be at a loss for words, and they could only smile awkwardly as they showed him out.

However, news of Nathaniel being a sore loser started to spread.

Even so, Nathaniel pretended not to know about this and he still bade Thomas to take his money to another casino. Ultimately, he didn't win very often, but at least he didn't lose all his money.

Later in the day, Nathaniel had Thomas take him to another casino.

Over the next three days, Nathaniel and Thomas had visited nearly all the casinos in Ocean City.

Nathaniel had lost more than a hundred million dollars in total.

This matter became the butt of jokes in Ocean City, and it was a hot topic.

Some people said that Nathaniel had been driven mad by the loss of his wife, and some people said that this showed that Nathaniel was human as well instead of some untouchable god.

When Madam Hans heard the news, she was so pissed off that she nearly smacked someone.

"What a b*stard! Why can't he just die already!

This won't do, I need to go to the Ye Family and avenge Andrea."

Then, Madam Hans's words made Andrea burst into tears again.

"Don't go, grandma. This incident is so shameful, how will I ever be able to show my face if it gets out?"

"Unable to show your face? Nathaniel has done such a ghastly thing and yet he can still gallivant around like nothing happened. Do you think he cares about you? You're always considerate towards him, but has he ever spared you a glance? No matter what, he's hurt you and he hasn't even compensated for it. He could have sent someone over to smooth things over and give you a gift. Instead, what is he doing now? I will not let a child of the Hans Family be bullied like this!"

Madam Hans' words sparked a gleam in Andrea's eyes, but it quickly disappeared.

"Grandma, don't make fun of me. I'm not a member of the Hans Family, and after this incident, I'm not qualified to be a part of the family at all."

"Silly girl, you're qualified if I say you are. Today I want to tell everyone that you are the adopted daughter of the Hans Family, and you are my granddaughter. Let's see who dares to bully you next time."
