The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye) novel Chapter 666

"Anaya!"

Mango and Nathaniel were stunned for a moment before they ran out at full speed.

However, Anaya was nowhere to be seen.

All they saw was a truck leaving at full tilt.

Mango immediately ran after the vehicle, but Nathaniel stopped her.

"If someone wants to use Anaya to threaten us, we won't have to chase them as they will surely contact us."

Mango looked at Nathaniel and gestured to ask, "What if that's not the case? What if they are just human traffickers?"

"I'll ask Merle's men to keep an eye on them, is that alright?"

Nathaniel knew that Mango had some conflict with Merle but he was the only person they could rely on at this place.

Mango was taken aback as a hint of hesitancy flashed across her eyes, but she nodded in agreement at the thought of Anaya's safety.

Having Mango's consent, Nathaniel quickly called Merle and told him the vehicle's license plate number before asking him to have his men investigate the case.

Then Mango and Nathaniel returned to the hotel.

Their room was in a mess as if a thief broke into their place.

Although Mango knew that they didn't have anything particularly valuable worth stealing, everything that happened was just a warning from Edolie and her way of venting her anger.

A trace of anger and coldness flashed across Mango's fierce eyes.

Edolie Wright... What a troublemaker!

Nathaniel's expression slightly darkened and he felt that it was time to teach Edolie a lesson.

Nathaniel was not wary of Mango at all and he called Merle directly in front of her.

"I don't care what you do, find out Edolie's address and create a traffic accident so that she can quit being so impudent!"

Mango's brows furrowed, but she didn't stop him.

As soon as he hung up the call, Mango's phone rang.

She glanced at the unfamiliar number on the phone and answered the call with her eyes narrowed.

"Mrs. Ye, I know that your vocal cords are injured and that you can't speak, so just listen to me. I'm sure you're looking for Anaya, right? Let me first introduce myself. I am the head of Altane Village and Anaya belongs to our town. I have indeed neglected her over the past few years, but now that I realized that she wants to come back, the locals have decided to bring her home. After all, it's our responsibility to look after our own children, isn't it? Thank you for taking care of her all this while."

Mango and Nathaniel were somewhat stupefied as they had never expected Anaya to be picked up by someone from her own village. Nevertheless, a hint of coldness remained in Mango's eyes as she became frustrated because she wanted to say something but the other party wouldn't see her gestures.

Then, Nathaniel quickly took the phone and asked, "You're the chief of Altane Village, am I right? If you wanted to pick Anaya up, you could've done it aboveboard yet you did it so furtively... You must have had other intentions, don't you?"

"Mr. Ye, why are you putting it that way? I was just afraid that you'll be too busy to send her back. Besides, Anaya is from our village, and I even heard that she stole others' belongings, so we really have to teach her a lesson so that she doesn't bring shame to our village, is that not

clear?"

The village chief's words made them feel displeased.

Mango was so angry that she stomped her foot but Nathaniel's gaze calmed her down.

"So you're saying that Anaya isn't going to have a good time back at the village, are you? You're just trying to threaten me and my wife, am I right?"

Nathaniel sneered with a trace of anger in his eyes.

The village chief chuckled and said, "Mr. Ye, I'm sure you know what's going on, so there's no need for me to be too blunt."

"Who ordered you to do it? I will consider sparing your life if you reveal the culprit behind this. Right, I should probably warn you that I do not tolerate being threatened!"

The chief was taken aback as he didn't expect Nathaniel to say that.

Nathaniel sneered and continued, "To put it frankly, Anaya is just an orphan that my wife took in out of kindness. She is neither a friend nor a relative to us, so we honestly don't give a d*mn what happens to her, yet you're using Anaya to threaten us? What a stupid act... Hasn't the person who commanded you to do this warned you about who I am? In Ocean City, I don't even care about my relatives, let alone an orphan!"

As Nathaniel spoke, his fingers were typing swiftly on the laptop next to him.

Soon, a map appeared on the screen and a red dot flashed in a certain area.

Hence, Mango understood immediately.

Nathaniel was deliberately buying himself time and using his IT skills in the hope of pinpointing their specific location.

In an instant, Mango moved closer to Nathaniel, and upon seeing the address, she became speechless as she stared at Nathaniel.

Nathaniel knew what she was thinking and figured that he really shouldn't stop Mango this time, although he was worried about her.

"Go ahead, but be vigilant and call me if anything happens."

Nathaniel's voice wasn't loud, so only Mango could discern it.

Immediately, she nodded her head and changed her clothes before leaving the room in a flash.

The chief was still hesitating after hearing Nathaniel's words, yet Nathaniel continued indifferently, "Since Anaya is from your village, she can stay there. Her life will no longer have anything to do with us from now on. Goodbye, and don't you dare call again, or I'll call the police and tell them that you are harassing me. Trust me, I will use whatever means necessary to screw up your life."

Having said that, Nathaniel hung up the phone directly.
