The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye) novel Chapter 610

"Huh?!"

Mango woke up startled to find her entire body drenched in ice- cold water. The sudden cold pierced deep into the core of her being.

She was entirely awake, and realization dawned on her as she took in her surroundings. The wounds on her back and arm were throbbing in pain after being hit by cold water.

Mango's expression darkened with fury.

"What are you doing?!"

"What do you think I'm doing? I was just trying to wake you up. Who gave you the right to sleep when it's broad daylight outside? Did you really think you can come into the Ye Family and just lay around all day?"

Madam Ye said coldly. Her piercing sarcasm and harshness were enough to make one's anger boil.

It was only then that Mango noticed Sisi's absence.

Madam Ye's sharp eyes noticed her concern.

Madam Ye smirked smugly and added, "Is there someone you're looking for? Oh, Sisi isn't here, is she? Well, try thinking about this, the Ye Family has provided for her since her youth, and I even agreed to let Nathan take her under his care. Now that she disrespects and goes against me, how do you think I would treat her?"

Mango's heart dropped.

"What did you do to her?"

She was able to sleep well because of Sisi. She hadn't expected that Madam Ye would attack her as well.

Madam Ye didn't want anyone to be on her side anymore.

The people who were loyal to her had all been removed. Thus, Mango realized that she had lost many opportunities while she was sleeping.

Madam Ye's actions were really fast!

Mango calmed herself down forcefully.

The pain that coursed through her body made her ignore Madam Ye for now. Instead, she got out of bed to look for a change of clothes, but she was stopped by Madam Ye.

"Stop right there, did I allow you to change your clothes?"

"Are you crazy? Do you think we're still living in the olden days?"

Mango genuinely thought that Madam Ye has lost her mind.

Nathaniel was her only son left, and she still made things difficult for her. Was she really not afraid that Nathaniel would be disgusted with her if he knew?

Madam Ye's face reddened as she was taken aback by Mango's words.

"Did you just scold me?"

"If you think me calling you crazy is yelling at you, then so be it."

Mango couldn't be bothered to waste any effort on her. As she jumped out of bed to look for her clothes, she heard Madam Ye say, "Hah! You're really something! Just a girl who doesn't know anything, yet you're acting all cocky. Do you really think that you can underestimate me just because Nathan is supporting you? Have you ever wondered why hasn't Zion returned home as he should?"

"What?"

Upon hearing Madam Ye's words, Mango suddenly became nervous.

That was right!

Their men had gone to pick Zion up. So, he should be home by now.

Unless...

She turned her head abruptly to Madam Ye.

"What did you do to Zion?!"

"Don't worry. Zion is the child and future of the Ye Family. I won't hurt him, but of course, I won't even let him get close to a useless mother like you. Zion's only role is my grandson from now on. So, without my permission, don't even think about seeing him again."

"Madam Ye, how could you!"

Mango thought that Madam Ye was on bad terms with her only because of what happened with the butler. Plus, she thought that Madam Ye would just let it go after throwing a tantrum. After all, she still had to rely on Nathaniel to look after her. Besides, Nathaniel was clearly very protective of Mango. A smart person would know better than to provoke Mango, but Madam Ye didn't seem to care at all.

Then, Madam Ye smiled wickedly and said, "What? How could I? Compared to Mateo's sin for killing my son, I've already shown you enough mercy by letting you still be titled as the lady of the Ye Family."

"At the end of the day, you're still holding a grudge against me because of Nick's death?"

"A grudge? You do know how to think too highly of yourself. As I said, I don't like you. I despised you from the very start. I'll never stop destroying your relationship with Nathan. I'll also make sure that your husband and son become distant from you. Now that I've hidden Zion, don't even think about seeing him for the rest of your life."

Mango's anger boiled as she heard Madam Ye's words.

"Madam Ye, you're pushing me to my limits."

"So what? What can you possibly do?"

Mango couldn't take Madam Ye's arrogance anymore.

She stepped forward to grab Madam Ye's neck threateningly and snapped, "Where is Zion?"

However, Madam Ye didn't show the slightest bit of fear. Instead, she was smug as she saw Mango's anxiety and fury.

"Are you anxious? Angry? Strangle me to death if you have the guts, then! Let's see how you're going to explain it to Nathan! After all, I'm still his mother. Mango, let me tell you, you can see your son if you want, but that entirely depends on my mood. Now, why don't you start cleaning? Maybe then I'll tell you where Zion is, and be kind enough to let you meet him when the floors are spotless."

Madam Ye was simply humiliating Mango.

She was Nathaniel's wife, not to mention the eldest daughter of the Shen family. Even her parents did not allow her to do any chores before she got married.
