The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye) novel Chapter 517

The sound of footsteps halted in front of the door. However, there were no knocks on the door and no one came in.

Mango frowned and she quickly got up. She then walked straight to the door to open it up.

"Madam!"

Lucy was standing outside the door.

Mango was surprised after looking at the expression on her face.

"Lucy? What are you doing here? What's the matter?"

"It's, it's no big deal. It's just..."

Lucy stuttered.

Mango felt that there was certainly something fishy going on.

"What is it?"

"Mr. Ye went to sleep and he didn't allow anyone to disturb him. But he left his phone in the living room and someone kept calling him just now. I don't know if I should go in to wake him up, so I come to ask for your advice."

After that, she quickly handed the phone to

Mango.

However, Mango did not take it.

There was a hidden camera in her room.

Besides, how could Nick leave his phone in the living room so carelessly?

That device was basically an inseparable part of people's life now.

This was obviously a trap.

Instead of going straight to Nick, Lucy came to her. Upon seeing this, Mango could already tell what was going on.

However, wasn't Lucy at Madam Ye's side?

It seemed that Nick was really something else as he could even order the people around Madam Ye.

Mango glanced at Lucy and she said coldly, "I can't help you with that. You'd better hand it over to him."

"But Mr. Ye instructed us not to disturb him."

Lucy seemed to be very anxious while stuck in a difficult position.

However, Mango replied coldly, "Nick is the CEO of HY Group, so perhaps it's some important call about the business matter. If anything goes wrong, neither of us will be able to shoulder the responsibility. It's better to get scolded by him than to suffer heavy losses. Just go."

Lucy was still a little nervous.

"Madam, why don't you go on behalf of me? You're his sister-in-law, so he definitely won't make things difficult for you."

"Lucy, have you forgotten your status? How dare you order me around?"

Mango was displeased.

Lucy shivered upon hearing her stern words, then she gulped nervously before answering, "Madam, I'm not ordering you. I'm just slightly afraid of Mr. Ye. He seems different from before, and his gaze is exceptionally scary these days whenever I look at him."

Mango was confused, as it seemed like Lucy was trying to hint at something. However, she couldn't possibly go looking for Nick no matter what.

This was obviously a snare set by Nick. If Mango insisted to fall into the trick, then she was a complete fool.

"Stop talking nonsense. Nick has always been kind and gentle. Don't try to bad-mouth him, or else Madam Ye will come back to punish you. Hurry up and deliver the phone to Nick!"

"O...okay."

Lucy turned around and she left with a bitter face.

Mango immediately closed the door before heading to the bathroom.

She was afraid that there was also a hidden camera installed in the bathroom, so Mango searched it carefully. Fortunately, there wasn't any.

Only then did Mango let out a sigh of relief.

What on earth did Nick want to do?

Mango took a shower in a hurry. After coming out, she suddenly heard the sound of the car engine outside.

"Lucy, who is it?"

Mango was drying her hair as she opened the door. Upon seeing Lucy in the living room, she casually asked the lady.

"It's Mr. Ye. He answered the phone and left in a hurry. It seems that there's something urgent in the company."

Mango narrowed her eyes after hearing those words.

What a coincidence! Did he really leave because of a critical matter in his company?

Or he was creating an opportunity for her to meet up with Boston?

Mango felt that everything that happened was too coincidental.

She wasn't a naive child and could sense that something fishy was going on.

Perhaps the reason Nick took the children out to play was to let her meet up with Boston deliberately.

So, what is the real identity of Boston?

Was he one of Nick's underlings?

If that was the case, Mango would have exposed her distrust towards Nick if she went to meet up with Boston.

Yet, if Boston was one of Nathaniel's men, and Mango didn't attend the meeting, she would miss out on the news of her husband, right?

After all, Nathaniel was out of touch now. Maybe Boston knew something about it?

Mango was embroiled in hesitation, and she didn't know how to go about this.

As time passed by, Rita woke up at around three and she insisted on finding Wisdom.

Mango couldn't calm her down. Thus, she brought her to Wisdom's room.

Just then, the boy was still asleep.

Mango comforted Rita, "Wisdom hasn't woken up yet, so don't disturb him, alright? Let's go back and we'll do some paintings, okay?"

"No, I want to stay with Wisdom. He's still injured."

Rita really liked to hang out with Wisdom these days.

Mango didn't know what to say.
