The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye) novel Chapter 544

"Hey ma'am, can I take a look at your mobile phone?"

Mango couldn't help but come forward and she alarmed the lady boss by her question.

"What the hell are you looking at? Do you think you can look at my phone whenever you want? Do you know how much this cell phone costs? If you damage it, you'll have to pay for it."

"Okay, I'll pay for it!"

"Even if you pay me, I won't show it to you. Are you gonna check-in or what? If you want to stay, then register, but if you want to ask for directions, then get out."

The landlady's attitude towards Mango was obviously not as good as her attitude towards Walter. Furthermore, Mango was so beautiful that she was repelled even more.

Mango didn't seem to mind at all as she smiled and said, "My lovely lady, I'm going to stay here. You don't have a reason to chase your guests out, do you?"

"Pay and register. I’m telling you beforehand that I don't care whether you are staying in or not, either way, you have to pay first."

The landlady was slightly in a better mood after being called 'lovely' by Mango.

Then, Mango continued with a smile, "Sure, I'll pay the fee for ten days, alright?"

"You want to live here for ten days? What are you doing here?"

The landlady asked all of a sudden.

This place was a desolate and remote place and it wasn't a tourist attraction. From the looks of it, Mango didn't seem to be dressed like someone from the area. Why did she have to stay here for ten days?

Hence, she couldn't help but think of Walter not long ago.

The man was also well dressed and generous, but unfortunately...

Thinking of this, the landlady suddenly said, "I just remembered that our hotel is full and there is no room. So, I'll advise you to try your luck with the other hotels. You can try the Equatorial Hotel which is five kilometers south from here, and it even has a better environment."

When she saw that the landlady kept pushing her away, Mango started to think.

"Ma'am, I see that you don't have many guests here, so why don't you have any rooms available? It's not that I refused to pay, so what are you doing?" "Why do you care? I just don't want you to live here. Get out now!"

Hearing that, the landlady turned her face away from Mango.

Mango's eyes narrowed slightly and she grabbed the wrist of the landlady when she reached her hand towards Mango.

"Ouch! It hurts! Let me go! I'm telling you, I'm not someone to be trifled with. If you don't let go, I'll make you pay!"

The landlady was extremely fierce, but to Mango, it was nothing but a mere annoyance.

She reached out her other hand and snatched the phone from the landlady's hand. Then, she held it and took a look at the phone.

The landlady shouted at once.

"Give my phone back to me, or I'll call the police!"

"Your phone? Are you sure it's yours? Do you even know what’s the passcode of the phone?”

Mango's mocking words made the landlady's face even more unpleasant.

"I just forgot what it was, is that a crime?"

"Of course not! But this doesn't seem to be your mobile phone. If you want to say it's yours, then let’ s go directly to the police station to settle this.

You don't know the passcode for the phone, but I do!"

As she spoke, Mango unlocked the phone in front of the landlady.

Then, the landlady's face suddenly changed.

"Y...you"

"Where is my friend?"

Mango's face suddenly turned grave and her grip strength increased.

Meanwhile, the landlady felt that her hand was about to be broken.

"Let me go first and I will tell you!"

The landlady's gaze shifted uneasily.

Mango could tell that she was actually thinking of something. Perhaps she would run away the moment Mango let go of her, but this was what Mango actually wanted.

She pretended that she did not see through the landlady's thoughts and whispered, "If I let you go, will you tell me where my friend is?"

"Yes! As long as you let me go, I'll tell you!"

The landlady begged.

Mango hesitated for a moment before letting go of her hand.

At this moment, the landlady suddenly sprinkled something similar to flour or lime powder towards Mango.

Even though Mango was prepared, she had no choice but to take a step back and close her eyes.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the landlady immediately rushed out and ran away somewhere.

On the other hand, Mango wiped her face, showing indifference in her eyes.

She glanced at her phone and confirmed that the last call on the call log was indeed the phone number of the hotel.

That was to say, the landlady definitely knew where Walter went.

At the thought of this, Mango quickly followed behind her. Unfortunately, the landlady escaped so fast that she was nowhere to be seen.

Mango was a little annoyed, as she never thought that she would let someone like the landlady escape from her clutches.

She searched around again, but Mango still couldn't find her.

Just as she was feeling discouraged, she suddenly noticed that people had circled around the river.

Mango was a little curious and she walked over to have a look.

"What's going on?"

"Someone's dead in the river."

A child bluntly told Mango about it.

Then, Mango's heart skipped a beat.

Could it be Nathaniel or Walter?
