The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye) novel Chapter 763

"Who's there?"

Mango became alert as she shouted. But, there wasn't any sound coming from outside anymore.

"Could it be my own illusion?"

Mango stood up and walked over carefully.

This was the Hans family household, after all. Therefore Novalee wouldn't dare to do anything, right?

Mango walked over to the window and opened it very carefully. It turned out no one was there.

Could it be that she'd misheard?

Mango couldn't help but think of it that way.

Maybe it was because of Walter's call that made her a little nervous.

Mango let out a sigh of relief and closed the window. However, she was shocked when she turned around.

A box was lying on the floor, and she couldn't wrap her head around how it got there.

Who was it?

Who had such good skills?

How could they come and go freely in the Hans family home?

A frown creased Mango's forehead as she carefully walked towards the box. She kicked it lightly. Seeing as no sound came from it, she picked up the box and brought it close to her ear.

It was not that she was careful. She was just scared that a bomb could've been thrown inside her room.

There was still no sound coming from the box.

Mango was cautious yet curious.

Who could've thrown this in?

What was inside the box?

Mango slowly moved closer to the box. After making sure that it would not suddenly explode, she opened the box with a pocket knife.

Inside the box was a Barbie doll, but it had been cut open many times with a knife, which looked a little scary.

Mango felt that the Barbie doll looked a little familiar.

A shiver ran down her spine and she quickly ran out from her room.

"Uncle, where is Rita?"

Mateo was stunned by Mango's question. However, he regained his composure quickly and said, "Rita has gone out to play with the butler. Is there something wrong?"

"It's already late at night. Why aren't they back yet?"

Mango's heart was once again filled with anxiety.

Mateo looked at the time. Indeed, it was already past seven o'clock.

"I'll give them a call. I was busy with work that I lost track of time."

Mateo quickly called the butler, but he couldn't get through to him.

Mango's heart gradually sank.

She thought she wouldn't have to worry about her children's safety now that she was with the Hans family. However, it seemed like she was mistaken.

Mango quickly returned to her room and picked up her phone. She saw an address on it, but the information about the sender had been purposely hidden.

At this point, Mango couldn't care less about whether it was a trap or not.

She ran out of the room quickly, but was stopped by Mateo.

"Did something happen? I'll go with you."

"There's no need. I've texted Nathan and he'll be here soon. Uncle, you better check if the butler's in any trouble recently and who he's been in contact

with.

Hearing Mango's words, he still nodded his head even though Mateo felt a little guilty.

"Okay, I'll go and investigate right now. You and Nathan, be careful. Call me at any time if you need anything."

Mateo would never have thought that something like this would happen in his own home.

Mango nodded and walked out quickly.

Meanwhile, Nathaniel had arrived.

"What's wrong with Rita?"

"Well talk on the way."

Mango quickly got into the car and gave Nathaniel the location.

Nathaniel slightly frowned.

"What's wrong?"

Mango couldn't help but ask when she saw that he wasn't driving. She was very anxious.

Nathaniel whispered, "This is an abandoned garbage dump. Why are you going there?"

Mango had no choice but to tell Nathaniel about what happened just now.

After hearing Mango's words, Nathaniel quickly drove the car to the garbage dump expeditiously.

When they arrived, there was a garbage truck

dumping its contents.

A heavy stench permeated the air, but Mango didn't have the time to smell it.

She quickly got out of the car, hoping to see Rita here. However, it was all layers and layers of garbage, and nothing could be seen at all.

Nathaniel got out of the car and muttered, "It will be difficult to find her if they did dump her here."

"Why?"

Mango looked at Nathaniel in confusion.

Nathaniel hesitated for a moment and said, "Because the garbage is crushed before they're dumped here. So even if it was a human being, they would probably be squashed as well before getting here."

Mango was stunned for a moment and almost lost her balance.

"Rita wouldn't be inside, right?"

"Help! Help me!"

Mango heard a weak cry for help as she was debating whether Rita was inside or not.

"Rita!"
