The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)

Chapter 204

"Thank you, mom!"

Mango thought that Madam Ye knew her very well.

"Be careful with Abyss. He's a powerful man in the United States. Don't mess with him for the time being."

The old lady did not avoid mentioning Abyss in front of Mango at all. Perhaps she already knew about their relationship.

After that, Mango nodded and she went back to the ward.

Thomas had already prepared Mango's clothes for her, and she changed out of her hospital gown.

As she changed, she realized that she had indeed lost a lot of weight.

Hence, her old clothes were all too big for her.

Thus, Mango sighed softly and she tied up her hair. Then, she left the hospital in casual clothing.

Next, Thomas drove the car himself and took Mango to the Fallen Paradise.

When she arrived at this place again, Mango's emotions were different this time as she stepped into the club.

Before this, she was here as a slave to be sold. Now, she had a different identity and it felt surreal.

At the door, George was somewhat surprised when he saw Mango. "Why are you back here again? Didn't you..."

"Get out of the way if you want to live!"

Then, Thomas blocked Mango from George by preventing his big hands from touching her.

George had gone missing for a time, but he came back after he found out that the coast was clear. However, he did not expect to run into Mango, and now Mango was clearly not the same as before.

Although he did not know why Abyss was not with Mango, he still looked at Thomas and he felt the danger coming from him. Thus, he quickly took a step back and he said, "Sir, don't misunderstand me. I may have mistaken her for someone else."

"You did mistake me for someone else."

Mango replied coldly. Her frigid gaze made George realized something instantly.

"Yes, yes. I must be blind and I've mistaken your identity. Sir, madam, please come in."

After they were led by George, Mango and Thomas entered the Fallen Paradise.

The Fallen Paradise was indeed a paradise for criminals. As long as one had money and freedom, there was bound to be something that one could dabble in.

The deafening music made Mango very uncomfortable.

Then, she frowned slightly and she whispered, "Find us a private room. I want to see your manager."

After that, George agreed in a hurry and he went to do what she asked. After he observed the environment, Thomas frowned.

"Mrs. Ye, it's too chaotic here. Stay close to me."

"Got it."

Thus, the two of them waited for a while until George came back. After that, he took Mango to a private room.

Inside, the room was very quiet and classy. It was completely different from the outside. There were silkscreens and paintings inside, and it felt like an otherworldly ancient paradise.

Thus, Mango was very satisfied with the place.

"Madam, our manager will be here soon. Please wait a moment. Why don't you have something to eat? We have a lot of delicious food here."

George recommended things dutifully, and he was a very different man compared to when Mango was here before.

Next, Mango said to Thomas, "You may order some food."

Thomas nodded and he ordered a pot of tea and a plate of snacks for Mango.

Soon, the manager came over.

The manager was a man in his thirties. Moreover, he was an interesting man as he kept a neat mustache that made him look older than he was.

"Madam, I heard that you're looking for me. What can I do for you? My surname is Malthus, but you can call me Merle."

Merle introduced himself. Next, Mango nodded faintly at him and then she showed him her right hand.

There was an antique ring glinting under the light on her finger.

Suddenly, Merle's gaze changed.

"Are you the master's wife?"

Merle's words made Mango's nervous heart relax. NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.

She nodded and she did not speak. Instead, she looked at the man in front of her up and down carefully.

At this time, Merle put away his smile and he looked very serious. Furthermore, he did not respond to Mango's probing gaze.

"What are you doing here, madam?"

Thus, Merle asked her directly.

After Mango confirmed that he served the Ye Family, she whispered, "I want to know about Young Master Zion's current situation. Can I see him?"

At this, Merle was stunned. Then, he said with some difficult expression, "I can't make a decision on this matter. Young Master Zion was taken away by Master Ye. If you want to see him, I have to contact Master Ye."

Flence, Mango knew that this Master Ye was very likely to be Nick.

"Yes, you can contact him. I just want to know if my son is okay."

"Okay, I will contact Master Ye as soon as possible. If there is any news, I will report it to you." Thus, Mango nodded slightly at Merle's words.

"Is there anything else that I can do for you, madam?"

"Is the Dark Night Empire capable of finding whatever information I want?"

"Not necessarily. It depends on who walks in the doors of this club. If you want to know something specific about someone, we will investigate it thoroughly. As for other things, we have other ways of obtaining the information you want, but it will take time."

Hence, Merle's words surprised Mango.

It seemed that she really was left out of the loop on this.

"I see. I have no further instructions for you."

"All right, Madam. However, you should stay for a while. The patrons in our club are all here for a good time, and if you were to leave as soon as you came, you will be noticed."

Merle reminded Mango kindly.

Then, Mango nodded and she said, "There may be information here about me. Just destroy it."

"Noted, Madam."

Merle's straightforward answer had shocked Mango.

"You know who I am?"

"Yes, I do. You were bought by Abyss not too long

ago.

Merle replied with a smile on his lips. However, it was not a smile of disrespect but instead a smile of being intelligent.

Suddenly, Mango felt embarrassed.

Previously, she thought that George was the only one who recognized her. Unexpectedly, even Merle knew about her. It was obvious that she was well-known for being auctioned off the other day.

Thus, Mango felt quite awkward.

"Do a lot of people know about it?"

"Not really. The outsiders have no idea because they did not see your face during the auction. However, I know about everyone who has been auctioned before, so I have some impression of you. What I never expected was that you were new madam."

"Ahem!"

At that, Mango coughed awkwardly.

"Well, destroy the information. I don't want it leaking out to the public."

"Don't worry, but there's something that I have to tell you."

"What's the matter?"

As she heard this, Mango was surprised.

Next, Merle said in a low voice, "Abyss has been looking for you recently, and I heard that he has paid a high price for a person's life."

"What's the name of that person?"

Then, Mango's chest suddenly tightened. In fact, she already knew who it was and she just wanted confirmation. Merle whispered, "Nathaniel Ye, the president of the HY Group."

"B*stard! Do you not know who Nathaniel is? Doesn't the Dark Night Empire work closely with the HY Group? How could you even take this case?"

When she heard that, Mango became furious.

She did not want to admit that Abyss would never be a friend of her, but she could not bear the thought of someone wanting Nathaniel's life.

However, Merle did not have much of a reaction. Next, he said softly, "Madam, our relationship with the HY Group is private. On the surface, we have to take any task that comes. If not, we run the risk of offending a lot of people. Right now, you can only tell Mr. Ye to be more careful. Abyss has not only ordered a hit on Nathaniel with us, he has paid others as well. What's more, I heard that Mr. Ye has started to take action towards the Tang Family. Truly, his methods are cruel indeed."

"What do you mean?"

Obviously, Mango could not bear to hear someone badmouth Nathaniel. Thus, this protective nature surprised Merle greatly.

Then, he coughed and he said, "Pardon me, I meant that Mr. Ye is wise. He has started to put pressure on the Tang Family's business. What's more, he went up to Old Madam Tang and he accused the Tang Family of hiding his wife. Next, he had us find proof of Abyss' purchase of you. So, Madam, if you have nothing urgent to do, you should refrain from being seen. That would prevent Mr. Ye's plan from being interrupted." Hearing Merle's words, Mango breathed a sigh of relief.

Old Madam Tang had always been a meddlesome person. Back then, she could ignore whatever Old Madam Tang did to her for Abyss' sake. However, Nathaniel had given the Tang Family a huge business advantage earlier on. Thus, Mango did not expect Abyss would do that to her. Now that he treated Nathaniel like this, Mango did not think to regret anything.

Five years ago, she might have owed Abyss, but she did not owe the Tang family. What was more, Nathaniel had paid his dues to Abyss for his care of her, did he not?

Right then, she had no idea how to face Abyss. As for the Tang Family, she did not care much for them.

Thus, Mango felt that it was increasingly unsafe for her to stay here.

"Call Master Ye as soon as possible and do inform me when you arrange the time. This is my phone number. You can call me if you need anything."

"All right."

Next, Merle took down Mango's phone number and he also gave his number to Mango.

After that, he took the lead and he left the private room.

Meanwhile, Thomas had not spoken until this moment.

"Mistress, does the Fallen Paradise belong to our family?" "Yes, but you will tell no one about this."

"Can we tell Mr. Ye?"

However, Thomas regretted it as soon as he asked the question.

This was because Mango had glared at him before she started to drink her tea.

Needless to say, the tea here was really good.

After Mango drank her tea, she said, "Let's go. It's getting late, and Nathan will be worried if he can't find me."

"Very well!"

Then, the two of them got up and they walked outside.

When they passed by another private room, Mango accidentally saw Abyss.

Abyss looked haggard despite it only being a few days since they last met. He held a bottle of wine as he laid on the floor like a drunkard. What was more, Abyss was gulping down the wine like no tomorrow.

The formerly elegant and gentle Abyss had transformed into such appearance.

Thus, Mango sighed softly and she quickly turned to leave. However, she then heard Abyss shouting, "Mango! Mango, stop!"

At this moment, Mango's heart started to race.

Had he seen her?

Mango's hands started to sweat as she recalled Merle's words and Nathaniel's plan. Hence, she wasted no time walking away, but Abyss had stumbled his way to the door. After that, he yelled loudly at Mango's retreating form. "I recognize you, Mango Shen!"
