The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye) novel Chapter 727

Zendaya couldn't help but feel a little flustered when she saw Walter looking at her without saying anything.

"Mr. Song, I swear that what I said is true. Otherwise, I will get struck by a lightning."

There was a hint of urgency in Zendaya's voice.

Walter found that he was distracted, so he asked in a lazy tone, "How did Novalee protected me that time when you planned to take me away when I was drunk?"

Zendaya was stunned all of a sudden.

She never thought that Walter would ask such a question.

"She just rushed over just like that."

"Do you still remember what exactly happened? Demonstrate it out for me."

Walter's words also made Orion feel a little strange.

"Mr. Song, what's wrong with this?"

"I don't want you to talk too much."

Walter's voice suddenly sank.

Orion suddenly closed his mouth and put it aside.

Zendaya couldn't help but recall it when she saw that Walter was really asking about this matter. She then asked the two bodyguards to demonstrate.

Walter looked at her without saying anything, and then continued to ask, "What was her first reaction when you all hit her?"

Zendaya said after a long while, "Her first reaction was to protect her belly, but before her hand touched it, she seemed to have paused for a moment before hugging her head."

"Is her body curled up?"

"No. That's why I feel that she's a little silly. Everyone knows that the surface you will get hit would be smaller if you curl your body up when you were beaten up by a group of people, but she didn't. Instead, she rushed directly to you to protect you. Later, I don't know who kicked her and she just laid on the floor. The things that happened after that were also known by you already."

Although Zendaya did not know why Walter asked about this matter again, she was really scared. She was afraid that Orion would torture her and that she would die in Orion's hands if Walter kept silent.

Walter frowned at this moment.

Novalee's behavior was unreasonable and not a normal reaction as self-defense, so could he think that Novalee had deliberately used Zendaya to injure him?

But why did she do that?

What was the purpose of her doing this?

Walter couldn't understand.

Zendaya saw that Walter was lost in thought and did not continue to speak. She said anxiously, "Mr. Song, what I said is true, really."

"Orion, stop torturing her."

Walter's words made Orion nod.

"You're lucky that Mr. Song won't continue to manipulate with you. However, you still got to behave yourself after going back. Just wait and see if I know you were going to escape again."

Zendaya's body trembled after she got threaten by Orion. However, she felt a little relieved that she would not be abused anymore.

Walter called his people as he said goodbye to Orion.

"Help me check Novalee's childhood experience, especially whether she was sick during school years or not, and whether there are any experience of her helping others."

"Okay, Mr. Song."

Walter's mood was very heavy after hanging up the phone.

He was not a person who would be casually schemed by others. What should he do if Novalee schemed against him?

Walter did not know.

He would not hesitate to attack anyone if it was in the past. However, Novalee got injured now because of protecting him.

He didn't believe that Novalee would collude with Zendaya, but the feeling of being tricked by others was really uncomfortable.

Walter lit a cigarette and sat in the car.

He was so agitated that he took his phone to call Mango.

"There is really some problem with Novalee. Do you want to suspend your company's business towards her for a while? I still don't know what her purpose is for now, so you can suspend her work temporarily on the basis of letting her recuperate."

Mango knew that Walter must have investigated it after she heard what he had said.

She didn't feel good either.

She thought that she had found a treasure and God had given her such a good assistant, but she didn't expect that there might be other reasons

behind this.

Mango said softly, "There's no need to stop. My small tourist company wasn't a big deal. It was only opened by Edolie with a few million dollars back then. How much would it be worth? So what if I give it to her if she really liked it? I just don't know what she wants to do."

"I want to know the answer to this question too. Don't worry, I will find out."

"Hey! Walter!"

Mango suddenly stopped Walter.

"What's the matter?"

"Don't be sad. Novalee might have her own difficulties."

Mango's words made Walter stunned slightly, and then he said with a wry smile, "Are you comforting me?"

"It's a yes if you said so."

Mango didn't put on airs either.

"Do you think I'm miserable?"

Walter said with a bitter smile, "When I finally fall in love with someone, I was one step late, and that person doesn't feel the some for me. When I finally decided to let you go and find for someone else, something like that happened again. I might have a fate of being single for the rest of my life..." "Don't talk nonsense. I believe that Novalee is kind-hearted by nature, and she may really have some difficulties. Walter, don't hurry to make a judgment, maybe we are all wrong."

Mango felt very upset after she heard Walter saying like that about himself.

Walter shook his head and said, "I can judge by myself whether it is right or wrong. I'll let you know if there are any progress. Well, I have to get some time off now."

"Are you alright?"
