The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye) novel Chapter 414

Madam Hans looked at the glass of water hesitantly and asked, "What's this?"

"Don't worry, grandma, you can trust me. It's a medicine that will temporarily weaken your body, but it won't cause any long- term damage. The doctor will find that you are too weak to travel far and suggest that Uncle Terrance cancels his plans. As long as he doesn't send you away, we'll be fine."

Andrea's eyes sparkled, but Madam Hans was still a little suspicious.

After all, it did sound a little risky.

"Are you sure it's safe, my dear?"

"Do you really think that I would harm you, grandma? You've been nice to me and even offended the Ye Family and my sister for me. I won't forget all your kindness. You're not young anymore, yet uncle still wishes to send you to Santell Capital. Though he claims it's for your own good, but it's basically shipping you off to a geriatric home. I've heard that it's just like a prison there, and you'll be watched all the time and not allowed to go anywhere. Plus, you'll have no children by your side and spend your days all alone.

You're from a veteran's family. It would be a sad end to your life if it came to that."

Andrea's eyes welled up with tears as she spoke, as though she was truly sad.

Madam Hans, who was still suspicious of Andrea, shuddered as she imagined a pitiful end to her own life.

She had no more family members in Santell Capital, and if Terrance had meant to send her off there, where would she stay? Could he really be planning to dump her at some old folks' home?

Madam Hans shivered with fear.

"I'm not going! I refuse to go to an old folks' home! I'm from a family of a war veteran, why should I spend my final days in a cage?"

"That's right grandma, your husband and sons have sacrificed their lives for our country, how could uncle send you off to a geriatric home so far away just because of Mango? I've heard that many operators of old folks' homes are wicked. What if you're at the mercy of one of them, what are we going to do then?"

The more Andrea spoke, the more frightened Madam Hans became.

When a person got old, they did not want to be far from their family, much less spend their last days in an old folks' home.

She looked at Andrea and took the glass from her, then gulped down the clear liquid without further ado. She had not noticed the evil smile on Andrea's face.

Soon after she had finished drinking, she felt a little drowsy.

"This medicine is rather strong, Andrea. I think I'm getting a little dizzy."

"It's okay grandma, just go to sleep, I'll be right by your side."

Andrea's voice purred softly, and Madam Hans closed her eyes trustingly.

On the other hand, Mango had no idea what was going on in the outside world. She had raged on for a while before coming to a conclusion that it was pointless.

The Hans family had long since denied her status, so why should she get upset over this stupid blood relation?

But she still felt annoyed that Andrea was living happily out there.

As of now, Mango was the hot topic of the citizens in town. The Ye Family's PR department had been hard at work, but they could not shake off all the heat on Mango. It was most likely because someone had hired a team of people to destroy her reputation.

John was currently missing, while Susie was also nowhere to be found. Since their last phone call, Susie had gone completely off the radar, which made Mango a little uneasy.

She was just like a venomous snake hiding in the bushes, ready to strike when least expected.

Mango felt that the most important task now was to locate Susie or John, and decided to temporarily give up the chase on Madam Hans and Andrea.

She sat in front of her computer and started looking for signs on the keyboard warriors, hoping to uncover something.

The comments were utterly horrid. It took her a lot of courage to go through them and refrained herself from participating in a keyboard war.

As time went by, she grew weary of staring at the screen.

Nathaniel had not returned either. Sisi had brought her dinner and said Nathaniel was going to be late and would not be joining her for dinner.

Mango did not care. She ate dinner and then continued her search for clues until she was close to collapsing in front of her screen. It was only then that she got up to take a shower and crashed on her bed.

By the time Nathaniel returned, it was already late at night.

He quietly opened the door to the bedroom and saw Mango sound asleep. The scene before him warmed his heart.

He had put in a lot of effort to fight the Hans Family.

It was no easy feat to transfer all the funds from the company, and he still had to support HY Group at the same time.

If it wasn't for Madam Hans' treatment of Mango, Nathaniel would not have gone all out. But seeing Mango safely snoring away in bed, it was all worth it to him.

Nathaniel looked at the screen and felt disgusted at what he saw in the comments section.

He called Thomas and scolded, "What are those clowns in the PR department doing? It's been a few days already so why am I seeing the Mango's name still at the top of search lists?"

"Sir, there are hidden hands that are coordinating the attacks despite our best efforts. We've tried to convince the public that the photos are fake, but it's obvious that people are not buying them. There are people purposely degrading Madam Mango too, so things are rather tricky now."
