The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye) novel Chapter 467

Walter didn't think he was paranoid. After all, he was a soldier and he was familiar with the sensation of being followed.

Walter left the car quietly and he parked it at the airport before buying a flight ticket to a neighboring country.

Meanwhile, the man following him saw that Walter had boarded the plane. They breathed a sigh of relief when they checked the flight and found that it was going to a nearby country that had one of the Song family's projects in.

Walter flew straight to the neighboring country, but he did not forget to call Zion.

"You little brat, I was followed the moment I left Ocean City."

Zion frowned slightly at his words.

"You are smart enough to not fly directly to the destination, right?"

"Do you think I'm stupid?"

Zion nodded his assent after Walter asked.

What did it matter? It wasn't like Walter could see him anyway.

Upon hearing Zion's silence, Walter replied, "I'm going to settle my affairs at work and sneak out in the middle of the night. But if you purposely gave me the wrong directions, I'll never let you live it down!"

"That won't happen!"

Zion and Walter exchanged a few more words before they cut the call.

When Madam Ye entered Zion's room, he was in the middle of playing some games.

"You need to rest, okay? You can't just keep playing games."

Madam Ye stroked Zion's head as she spoke in a kindly tone.

"When you're a little better tomorrow, I'll take you to the hospital to visit your Mommy. I feel like your mother is missing you dearly, and Rita can't go over there either. As the eldest son, you should accompany her, right?"

However, Zion replied, "I think it's better if I wait a couple of days, Grandma. My cold isn't fully healed, and I don't want my illness to spread to Mommy. If nothing else, I can always video call her."

"That's a good idea too. Since you're afraid of spreading your cold to your mom, we'll do it your way."

Madam Ye smiled as she walked out of Zion's room.

After she left the room, Madam Ye made her way to the greenhouse.

This was her private domain, and very few people ever entered here. All the plants inside were personally cultivated by Madam Ye, and she put a lot of effort into them.

Then, Madam Ye picked up the watering can and she watered her flowers serenely.

Not long after, a figure quickly entered the greenhouse and he bowed respectfully upon seeing Madam Ye, "Madam Ye."

"Oh, you're here?"

Madam Ye did not turn, but she knew who it was.

"Yes, I'm here."

Merle quickly took the watering can from Madam Ye's hand.

Madam Ye had him sit down on the rattan chair beside her and she said, "You said that Walter has gone overseas?"

"He has gone abroad. I sent someone to follow him, but he seemed very cautious as he headed directly for one of the Song family's branch offices to talk about business."

Merle's words made Madam Ye smile and she replied, "He's smart, so I'm sure that he's noticed our people following him. Make sure to send another group of people to tail him. The men we have now have failed to remain discreet."

"Of course! But why are you following Walter, Madam Ye? Do you think he knows where Mr. Ye is?"

"He doesn't, but Zion does."

Madam Ye glanced at Merle across from her before saying, "Zion is the shining beacon of the Ye family's next generation, and his talent matches Nathaniel's when he was younger. Although he is young, he is very detailed. He managed to locate Nathaniel using the computer quietly, and no one has been able to do this except for Nathaniel himself. Since Zion doesn't want to tell me, then I'll just pretend like I don't know anything about it. Still, I'm Nathan's mother and I need to know what's happening to my son, especially now that Mango's in the hospital."

Merle couldn't help but ask quizzically, "Then, why didn't you have Nick follow Walter?"

"Nick? Nick has been very busy recently, and even I don't know what he's up to. Plus, he has a lot to deal with at the HY Group, and he doesn't need any more distractions. Although I've had you to follow my second son, and the Dark Night Empire to obey Nick's order, I hope

you know who your true master is."

"Yes, ma'am!"

Merle was puzzled for a moment before he understood what he meant.

Madam Ye continued, "I've handed over the Dark Night Empire to Mango, and Mango is your new mistress now. Although Nick is doing her job due to her illness, does that mean you can ignore Mango's safety?"

Merle was rather unsettled by how strict Madam Ye was being.

"Madam Ye, Nick has recently given us a lot of tasks, so we're short-handed."

"Short- handed? The Ye family has no shortage of bodyguards, so Nick can use them instead of the Dark Night's men. Isn't your most important mission to protect Mango? She's the mistress of the Dark Night Empire, and yet she was kidnapped in broad daylight! What's more, there was no news from her for days! If it weren't for Walter's crass methods that found her, are you going to show me her corpse?"

Anger rose in Madam Ye's chest as this topic was brought up.

The mistress of the Ye family was kidnapped on the street, and to make matters worse, no one knew who did it! This was an insult to the

Dark Night Empire's capabilities!
