The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)

Chapter 170

Nathaniel didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

What could be more depressing than to have worked so hard for so many years, only to found it's done for someone else?

And this person used to be the closest one to him, and even his mother was partial to her for no reason.

He still couldn't figure it out. Even if his mother didn't like Mango, Zion was his mother's grandson after all. Why could she be so calm and indifferent about Zion's disappearance?

In Nathaniel's memory, his mother was not a coldblooded person, but why?

It seemed that only Nanny Zhang could give him this answer, but that woman had vanished from the face of the earth now, and no trace could be traced.

All the clues seemed to have been cut off all of a sudden.

The fire five years ago seemed to have been ordered by Macy, and there was even the possibility of Susie's counsel and Newell's execution, but now it seemed that there was far more than what he saw on the surface.

Newell was brought back by Nathaniel from the orphanage and grew up with him. He's kind of a brother to Nathaniel. Newell had never never disobeyed Nathaniel. But why did Newell betray him in the matter of Mango for the first time?

Nathaniel remembered that when Newell was with him, Nanny Zhang would make some snacks for him and Sisi from time to time.

At that time, Nathaniel only felt that Nanny Zhang was a kind- hearted woman who treated orphans well. But now, he thought that this may be a way for Nanny Zhang to get people's loyalty.

Perhaps from the beginning, Newell and Sisi had been bribed by Nanny Zhang.

However, what Nathaniel couldn't understand was that five years ago, Nanny Zhang was very pleased with Mango and also very kind to her. If it's true that Nanny Zhang was involved or even behind the fire, what was the reason? What's the motive?

Nathaniel couldn't figure it out, so he never thought about Nanny Zhang. He didn't expect that this gave Nanny Zhang a chance to take Mango away under his nose.

Terrance frowned tightly as he listened to Nathaniel's words.

"Newell is indeed a tough man. In the Hans family, after all that torture, he didn't utter a word. If it wasn't for Sisi, maybe he wouldn't have shown any signs of weakness. Do you mean that Newell set the big fire and Macy order it five years ago?"

"That's what it looks like so far, but it's never that simple. Macy has escaped from the guardhouse, and even took Zion and Wisdom away. If she wants to leave Ocean City, she could use either of them as a hostage, but she did not leave. Why? What is she waiting for? Or who doesn't let her leave Ocean City? When Wisdom escaped, Zion disappeared. According to her ability, she could sneak out of Ocean City, but she died. She died inexplicably and suddenly. Don't you find it strange?"

Nathaniel felt a little itchy and took out a cigarette. He sniffed it then put it on his ear randomly.

Seeing that he was so restrained, Terrance got to know him a little better.

"Maybe she died because she was tainted with that kind of thing?"

Nathaniel shook his head to deny Terrance's words and said, "Do you know that it was me who deliberately sent Macy the information about Wisdom that he was ill and his life was in danger. Susie went to see Macy and gave her a bottle of medicine, saying that it could make Macy temporarily have a mental disorder, and there would be a doctor for her the next day. But do you know what kind of medicine was that?"

"What?"

"Poison! It's a poison that can kill a person with a touch!"

Nathaniel's words caused Terrance to turn pale. "How was that possible?"

"Yeah, how was that possible? Susie has been a widow for so many years and only has one daughter, Macy, and she has pinned all her hopes on Macy. She hopes that Macy can become the Young Madam of the Ye family, so that the Chu family can rise to a higher level, and her glory and wealth for the rest of her life could be guaranteed. How could she do it to her own daughter in such a situation?

Nathaniel said calmly.

Terrance was so smart that he immediately understood what Nathaniel meant.

"Do you mean that Susie has been used as a gun? Maybe even she doesn't know what's wrong with that bottle of medicine?"

"It's quite possible. If Macy hadn't still had a bit of conscience and escaped because worried about Wisdom, she might have died inside the guardhouse at that time. But Macy escaped, not only did she escape, but she also took Zion and Wisdom with her, and even used Zion to get revenge. But when Mango arrived, she went to the empty building. Don't you think it's strange? Will a woman who wished you to die give up the chance to revenge? Do you think it's possible?"

Nathaniel's another question made Terrance frown even deeper.

He thougth it's amazing how many questions arise when these things are correlated. With Macy's death, Zion and Mango's disappearance seemed to have no clues.

"Wisdom doesn't know anything?"

Nathaniel shook his head.

"Wisdom is just a child. What's more, although Macy has been indifferent to him these years, she has never beaten him like that before. So for Wisdom, it is a very heavy blow. If Zion was not there, Wisdom might not be like this now. No one knows what he can become. The harm from his biological mother is the shadow of a lifetime. After he came back, he had nightmares every night and cried every night. I dare not ask what happened, but Wisdom did change. He didn't talk about Macy anymore, or even about Macy's death. He's just four years old! How hard it hit and shadowed him could only fade with the passage of time. I just hope he'll be well, so I won't fail Nick."

Nathaniel sighed.

Terrance was suddenly shocked.

"Is Wisdom the son of Nick?"

"Yes!"

After Nathaniel revealed all the secrets he had kept for so many years, he suddenly felt much more comfortable in his heart. Although it was still very heavy, there was still a little room for breathing.

Over the years, he had never regretted treating Wisdom as his own son, but because of this, Mango and his own son had suffered too much. He felt guilty in his heart. Now, before he had time to make up for it, they were once again disappeared. How could he live well?

Others probably didn't not know about Nick Ye, but Terrance did. The case that Nick got involved in was once in Terrance's hands.

As the informer, Nick got killed. Terrance could still remember the scenes. Every time he thought of Nick, he was respectful.

It was a real man, a tough guy, a man he deserved to respect in his life!

He didn't expect that he left a son in the world. Thinking of the relationship between Macy and Wisdom, Terrance was more or less clear about it.

"No wonder you are so nice to Macy, it turns out you did it for Nick. All these years, there are gossips behind you back, why don't you explain all this?"

"My wife and Nick are all that matters. As for others, just say whatever they like." Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

Nathaniel was never a person who live for others' expectations.

Terrance finally understood the whole thing.

Looking at this man in front of him, Terrance suddenly admired him a little.

"I will definitely help you find Miss Shen and Zion. You can stay in the U.S. for the next few days. No matter how many people Nanny Zhang got in the Ye Family, they can't do anything to us, the Hans family. Don't worry."

"Thank you!"

Nathaniel patted Terrance heavily on the shoulder, as if he was trusting Terrance with his life.

This was a trust between men and a trust entrusted between comrades- in- arms. Although they had never fought side by side, they used to be soldiers, so they both knew the meaning of such a

trust.

Terrance suddenly felt that the responsibility on his shoulders had become much heavier, but in his heart, there was a hint of joy for having a close friend.

"Don't worry about it, I can find out what's going on even if there is no clue. If it doesn't work, I will start from the hospital where Miss Shen was born. Since you said that Miss Shen has always been raised by her parents, and they have always thought that Miss Shen is their biological daughter, then there is only one possibility, that is, Miss Shen was replaced in the hospital when she was born, or somebody held the wrong child. As long as we look for the women who were laboured with Mrs. Shen, maybe there'll be a clue. Although it has nothing to do with the disappearance of Miss Shen, that's the only place to start now."

"Well, it's not convenient for the Ye Family to intervene in this matter. First, I don't know who is the enemy in the Ye Family now. Second, Mango's identity hasn't been exposed yet, and my relationship with the Shen Family is not appropriate to be revealed now. Third, I am in the United States. If something goes wrong, I am afraid that I will not have enough time to come back to protect Mango's parents, so..."

"I understand. Just leave the safety of the Shen couple to me."

Terrance took it with all his strength.

"Thank you!"

Nathaniel did not know what to say.

The two men looked at each other and smiled, revealing a lot of emotions. There was no need for more words.

"Sisi is not a child of the Flans family. Do you have any other clues?"

Nathaniel knew that Madam Hans had fallen ill because of this matter, so he asked casually.

Terrance shook his head and said, "This matter was groundless from the beginning. It was Newell who told my mother that my elder brother left a baby girl in the world. Now Newell is dead, and Sisi is not a child of the Hans family. Maybe there is no such thing. Everything is just a bait, and an excuse to drag the Hans family into this mess. However, my mother may not be able to understand this fact for a while, and she will slowly recover. Don't worry."

After saying that, Terrance smiled with bitterness.

They had thought that there was another child of the Hans family, but now it seemed that nothing could be done about it. No one was in a good mood.

At this moment, a red Ferrari suddenly stopped in front of Nathaniel and Terrance.

Walter came out of the car and said in a hurry, "I have news about Katherine."
