The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye) novel Chapter 397

"Where are we going?"

Thomas was a little confused. He stopped the car immediately.

Meanwhile, Nathaniel wondered if Thomas had suddenly turned retarded today as he glared at him.

Thomas suddenly felt a chill on his neck.

"Uh, let me think about it."

Within a second, he understood the situation.

"Mr. Ye, you did it on purpose!"

"What do you mean?"

"You made a big show of losing your money in order to make everyone think you're bad at gambling, and you kept changing casinos to make it look like you were a sore loser. However, your actual goal was Walter Song and the Ruby Taco Casino, right?"

Thomas's mind was finally working again.

As he said earlier, Nathaniel was very successful in the business world, so how could he have lost so miserably at gambling?

When Nathaniel saw Thomas's excited expression, he snorted coldly and said, "I wonder who was the one that was so worried over that twenty million earlier."

"It's still money, okay? Furthermore, it's twenty million."

Thomas laughed as he replied. Yes, he admitted that he wouldn't be as bold as Nathaniel. Using twenty million dollars as a diversionary tactic was something only Nathaniel could do.

Then, Nathaniel glared at him and said, "We invested more than twenty million back when we were setting up those venture capital firms. In the end, you just don't trust me enough. I guess that Mango is the only person who ever trusts me, everyone else is irrelevant. Working for me is a waste of your time, Thomas."

Nathaniel's criticism caused Thomas to be at a loss for words, but he was confused when he heard Mango's name.

"Of course your wife knows you the best, but even if she was here today, she might not catch on to what you were doing. It's hard for anyone to be calm when you're tossing out hundreds of thousands like it's nothing."

"Not necessarily. Do you remember that time when a waiter came to speak to Walter from upstairs after he'd lost the first ten million?"

"I did. What was that all about?"

Thomas just became even more confused.

Meanwhile, Nathaniel glared at him once again as he was too lazy to explain.

Thomas felt that Nathaniel was extremely annoyed with him today. Perhaps his brain really was malfunctioning.

He tried hard to think of the whole issue, and suddenly an thought came to his mind.

"Do you mean that the waiter was sent by Mrs. Ye to stop Walter from gambling anymore?"

Thomas's words finally caught Nathaniel's attention.

"God, Mr. Ye, do you mean that Mrs. Ye has always been inside Walter's casino? Your aim had always been this casino, but you didn't want anyone else to know Mrs. Ye was here so you went to all the other casinos to make it look like you enjoyed gambling. In fact, you always had a plan mind. Furthermore, you kept losing to make yourself look like a sore loser who's looking for somewhere he can win, but your true aim is to drain Walter dry right? You're mad, because Walter didn't tell you that he hid Mrs. Ye, and this is your punishment to him. You had me follow that waiter upstairs because you wanted to see which room Mrs. Ye was occupying!"

At last, Thomas finally understood everything.

Then, Nathaniel replied faintly, "I see you've regained your wits. I'd thought that your brain's been rotted by love or something."

Hearing this, Thomas felt rather embarrassed.

If even he couldn't understand what Nathaniel was doing, then his boss's tactics were amazing indeed.

"Mr. Ye, how did you know Mrs. Ye was there with Walter? We searched all of Ocean City and to no avail. How did you find out that she was here?"

"If you could easily deduce what I was thinking, then you wouldn't be my assistant anymore. What are you waiting for? Drive!"

Truth be told, Nathaniel would never tell Thomas that it was Zion who'd found Mango. That would be too humiliating.

Meanwhile, Nathaniel's words made Thomas shut up and put a halt to his questions. After that, he turned the car around and drove back to the casino.

"You stay here and keep a lookout. Let me know if someone comes."

Thomas nodded quickly at Nathaniel's words.

But why did he feel like Nathaniel was having an affair instead?

On the other hand, Nathaniel couldn't care less about what Thomas thought. He was extremely impatient. He needed to see Mango right away. He needed to know if she was all right and whether she had been eating well.

The casino was such a filthy, dank place, and yet she still chose to hide here.

After that, Nathaniel quickly took off his coat and climbed up the drainage pipe.

When he reached the third floor, Nathaniel heard Walter's voice coming from inside the room as he stepped foot on the balcony.

"That b*stard Nathaniel did it on purpose! If not, why would he lose elsewhere and yet win millions at my casino? Plus, I even did the math and the amount he won today is equal to his losses from the other casinos. In the end, it's like I'm giving away all my money!"

Walter was so angry that he paced the room.

However, Mango smiled and said, "I sent someone to stop you from playing any further."
