The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye) novel Chapter 807

"What's wrong? Are you guys afraid?"

Mango looked at them with a puzzled expression.

"Just do as you're told. Stop with all your nonsense!"

One of the bodyguards was enraged and he subsequently pushed Mango straight into the room.

A cold wind suddenly blew right against her face.

Mango couldn't help but shiver.

It was freezing cold.

Was this a freezer perhaps?

She looked around, but she couldn't see anything clearly. Although it was daytime now, the room was terribly dark.

Mango stretched out her hand and fumbled along the wall. When she felt the switch on the wall, she quickly turned on the light. At the same time, the door was closed and locked up from the outside.

Mango was a little afraid, but she still put up a brave front and glanced around the room.

The whole room was designed as a mourning hall. Marissa's photo was hung on the head of the bed, and her body was placed on the bed.

The windows were tightly shut and they were even covered with a black curtain. The room must've been equipped with cooling facilities to preserve Marissa's dead body.

Mango was quite brave, and she felt that Marissa's corpse wouldn't harm her anyways. After all, they were considered acquaintances and they were never enemies.

After that, she walked slowly towards Marissa's bed. When she saw Marissa's face, she was shocked and she almost passed out on the ground.

Marissa's face was besmeared with blood and it was ghastly pale. It was obvious that she died of poisoning.

But didn't Desmond say that Marissa had passed away because of her disease?

And if she was poisoned, wouldn't Desmond be able to save her using his own blood? Why did he invite Bettany over instead?

Mango couldn't figure it out.

She gulped nervously and gently reached out to hold Marissa's hand.

Marissa's body had already stiffened. Due to the cold temperature, her remains were still intact and in good condition. However, Mango felt that this was the greatest insult to Marissa.

Perhaps Isla was involved in Marissa's poisoning?

Mango couldn't figure it out, and she didn't have the time nor the chance to ask.

"Marissa, I didn't expect that we would bid a farewell to each other in the Underground City. Don't worry. I promise that justice is served on behalf of all your grievances. And I will definitely save Desmond so that you can leave this world peacefully."

Mango spoke in a soft voice.

She knew that there would be a hidden device somewhere in the room to monitor her. However, she believed that even Isla couldn't eavesdrop on her words as she whispered them in a low voice.

All the necessities were present in the room, but everything belonged to Marissa.

It seemed that Isla was really planning to let her replace Marissa and become a member of the Fang family. Thereafter, Mango was forced to marry Abyss Tang.

Isla was undeniably cruel if she really planned all of this five years ago.

Mango was still the daughter- in- law of the Ye Family back then. At that time, Isla did not intend to let her stay in the Ye Family.

If it wasn't for the fact that Mango came back to find Nathaniel because of Rita, she couldn't imagine what would happen to her right now and she would probably become Isla s puppet.

However, Marissa was the child of the Fang family. Why would she be thrown away like a piece of trash?

Perhaps Marissa's mother could give an answer to this, but it seemed that it was impossible to do that right now.

Due to the cold air from the air conditioner, Mango felt as if she was about to freeze to death.

She kept rubbing her arms as she looked around. Finally, she couldn't stand it anymore, so she went to Marissa's closet to find a coat and put it on.

After that, she sat on the carpet and looked around at the magnificent room while she thought about Marissa's fate. She couldn't help but feel a little emotional and sorry for the latter.

Meanwhile, the servants outside were surprised that Mango didn't scream or shout after she was thrown into the room. At the same time, they also admired her courage. Then, one of them approached the door and knocked on it, "Hey, are you still alive?"

Mango gave a faint laugh and replied, "Do you want to come in and take a look?"

"Nope, take care. A ghost might appear in the middle of the night. Good luck."

After that, the people outside turned silent in an instant.

Ghost?

Mango sneered. The living was even more terrifying than ghosts. If this place was really haunted, perhaps she could find out the truth behind Marissa's death.
