The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye) novel Chapter 408

When she jerked her head back, the figure was gone. It was as if everything that happened just now was her illusion.

"What's wrong?"

Seeing Andrea's halted footsteps, Madam Hans asked curiously and looked around them.

Andrea quickly shook her head and said, "It's nothing, grandma. I might have been too bewildered by the Ye Family today. Somehow, I feel like there’s someone watching us."

"Silly girl, this is the Hans Family's residence. They won't dare to do anything. Besides, the reporters won’ t write anything inappropriate. You don't have to worry about anything."

Madam Hans patted the back of Andrea's hand and comforted her with a smile before going in.

Despite her grandma's reassurance, Andrea still felt a little uneasy.

When they were back inside, she told Madam Hans that she didn’t feel well and returned to her room.

As soon as she stepped into her room, her phone rang.

Andrea frowned slightly when she saw that it was from a number she did not save in her contact list. It was a string of numbers she recognised at a glance.

It was from a woman she had worked with to bring Mango down. However, this mysterious woman never contacted her again after Mango's pictures went viral. Besides, the picture she posted wasn't even good enough to cause any real harm to Mango. Although it was still a hot topic now, she knew that Nathaniel was going to do something about it.

If he made a move, he would find out the truth behind those pictures. And if he came to know that it was her...

At the thought of this, Andrea suddenly realized that she had been used as a scapegoat.

And now that woman had contacted her again. This made her feel like she was playing with fire.

Who on earth was she?

What kind of grudge did she have against Mango?

Why was she using another person to get rid

of Mango?

These thoughts kept running through Andrea’ s mind. However, she did not plan to answer the phone.

After a while, the phone stopped ringing.

Andrea could not help but let out a sigh of relief.

Perhaps she should cut ties with this woman. Andrea had her own methods to marry Nathan or to destroy Mango, so why must she collaborate with this woman?

That woman did not help much anyway.

As she was thinking, her cell phone rang again. This time, she received a video.

It was a video of her being raped by the two directors.

In that moment, Andrea was completely stunned and her body trembled subconsciously.

Where the hell was going on?

After she was raped, she had sent someone to look for this video but she couldn't find it at all. She thought that Nathaniel had it, but now it seemed that this woman was the mastermind.

Nathaniel had denied that he was the one who raped her even when she insisted on putting the blame on him. If this video got out, everyone would see through her lies.

Andrea quickly picked up the phone and called the woman.

"You're finally willing to answer the phone?"

There was a hint of sarcasm in the woman's voice.

Andrea trembled and asked, "Who are they? Are you the one who planned this? Or was it Nathaniel?"

"Does it matter? If it weren't for Nathaniel, would the two directors take interest in you? And even if Nathaniel had been by your side, would they have taken advantage of you? Andrea, he doesn't care about you. Do you really think that you have any chance with him without my help?"

There was a trace of coldness in her voice and it made the last glimmer of hope in Andrea shatter.

"What can you do for me? Apart from giving me those photos, I did everything else myself. I found someone to publish the photos and had to endure the wrath of Nathaniel and my family. You did nothing and yet you’ re threatening me with this video now? How could I possibly want to work with you?"

There was a hint of tremor and rage in

Andrea's voice.

She was rarely tricked by others. But now other than being used by someone, she was also threatened. It was outrageous!

Ignoring Andrea's banter, the woman on the other end replied coldly, "Do you have any other options? No matter what I do to you, we have the same goal which is to tarnish Mango' s reputation, isn't it? You can back out now if you want to. However, I will give this video to the media. By then, your chances of marrying Nathaniel would be ruined to ashes."

"You..."

Andrea was overwhelmed by anger but she had no choice, didn't she?

What can she possibly do when the woman had evidence that could destroy her forever?

"What on earth do you want me to do?"

"Actually, it's nothing much. I just want you to make Mango come out of hiding. After we sent the pictures, she did not reply to any of them. What's the point of doing this then? Are you going to just wait silently for Nathaniel to find evidence and prove her innocence? And watch them as they live happily ever after while you don't get anything?"

The woman's words suddenly made Andrea feel very uncomfortable.

"It's none of your business."

"Trust me, I don't want to get involved. But if you don't do anything, I'm going to take matters into my own hands."

Without waiting for Andrea' s reply, the woman hung up.

Andrea was shaking from the anger that built up within her.

It was impossible to ignore the woman when she had evidence against her. But what could she do to make Mango come out of hiding?

Ever since the pictures went around, Mango could not be seen anywhere. Nathaniel, on the other hand, was also trying to uncover the truth and prove her innocence. If he succeeded, their relationship will only get stronger. When the time came, there would be no hope left for Andrea.

Right now, Andrea was bent on marrying Nathan and becoming the head of the family. She wanted everything that Mango had. If Mango kept hiding, there was no way Andrea could do anything.

What could she do to force Mango into the public's eyes? A thought flashed in her mind, "If Madam Hans fell sick, she would definitely come."
