The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye) novel Chapter 1024

Michael was calling him.

"Boss, Gisella woke up, and she's yelling non-stop here. She's too noisy, and our men can't sleep! So, what should we do?"

A merciless gaze flashed across Nathaniel's eyes.

"Do I still need to tell you what to do? Now that you have an easy life, have you forgotten the excruciating training that you've survived through?"

Nathaniel's tone was slightly cold.

After hearing this, Michael couldn't help but shudder

During those years, Nathaniel had mingled around with now citizens, and he rarely used his commander authority on them. In fact, Michael had thought that he would continue to keep a low profile. However, he immediately regained his senses when he heard Nathaniel's harsh command.

"Got it, boss."

"If you ask me another useless question like this one, I'll get someone to replace you as the head of Baxter Alliance.

Nathaniel hung up the phone after he had finished speaking.

After all, both his wife and daughter were still waiting for him to cook them a meal.

The moment Nathaniel thought of Mango and Rita, the hostility on his face completely vanished without a trace.

He shook his head with a smile. Then, he couldn't help but walk to the children briskly when he remembered how jealous Mango had been.

On the other hand, Mango only realised what she had done when she returned to her bedroom.

Hmm...

How could she be jealous of her own daughter?

It appeared that Rita was getting more cunning now!

Mango felt pretty good, though.

When she sat at the table, she found that Clarissa had given her a call. Thus, she had no choice but to call Clarissa back.

"What's up?"

"Ms. Shen, one of our artists got into trouble!"

Mango frowned slightly when she heard Clarissa's words.

"Huh? What happened?"

"It's Lilith. Apparently, the people who used to be her parents were her foster parents. After they adopted her, they had a son. Therefore, they treated Lilith badly once they gave birth to him. Now, they keep asking Lilith to give them money. Lilith didn't tell us about this matter previously, but her foster parents are suing her now, so this incident caused an uproar! The reporters are pretty much waiting outside the entrance now! Urgh! I guess we're all famous, thanks to her!"

Clarissa said in a sarcastic manner.

Mango frowned slightly after hearing this.

"Is Lilith the second-tier artist that we signed a contract with?"

"Yeah, she is. I was wondering why she chose to sign a contract with our company. However, I didn't think much about it. Argh! I never knew that she had such a troublesome past behind her! I've heard from others that her former management company decided to break off her artist contract because her foster parents had a fuss back there as well!"

Upon hearing Clarissa's words, Mango instantly came up with a plan.

"Anyway, she is now an artist under our company, so we have to take the responsibility to solve this problem. You should ignore the netizens' gossip first. Now, send someone to check her current financial situation and how she has been spending her money. Also, get one of our staff to find out whether her parents have abused her. Now that things have escalated this way, we have no choice but to face this problem head-on. After all, Lilith is famous now. Even though she became famous because of a negative scandal, we can promote our company if we deal with this problem well. Who knows? This might even become an advantage for us because we managed to put our company in the spotlight."

Of course, both Mango and Clarissa were looking at this issue from different perspectives right now.

Clarissa was slightly stunned when she heard this. She couldn't help but admire Mango.

"Okay, Ms. Shen, I'll do it right away. Is our PR Department going to remain silent for the time being over this incident?"

"Yeah, put it off for now. Let's see how things go. If they come prepared, I bet they won't give us a chance to catch our breath, so what I've told you first."

After Mango hung up the phone, she started laughing happily.

Her film company definitely would be famous if the matter is well handled. In fact, she had been troubled because she wanted to thrust her company's name into the spotlights. However, this chance came at the right time!

This was how the entertainment industry worked. No one would care what the truth was, and they were only concerned about the latest gossip. Most importantly, the public would never forget an artist that had become famous.

As soon as Nathaniel came in, he saw that his wife had a cunning smile on his face. He couldn't help but ask, "Why are you so happy?"

"Nah, I'm not going to telling you."

Mango decided to keep it a secret from Nathaniel for now.

However, seeing that Nathaniel had come up to look for her, she asked, "Is our meal ready?"

"Yeah, that's right."

"What did you make?"

"Apart from cola chicken wings, the other dishes are all your favorite."

Nathaniel replied in a witty way instantly.

Mango was clearly satisfied with this answer.

"Well, that's more like it. You can't starve my daughter though, can you?"

"Of course I won't!"

Nathaniel felt that this was too difficult!

Finally, Mango went downstairs with Nathaniel once she was satisfied.

Rita had already washed her hands, and she was in the dining room.

"Mommy, it's time to eat! How could you ask daddy to call you?"

"He's my husband, so I can do so."

Mango bragged in a childish way.

Rita frowned when she heard this.

"Huh? But I don't want him to do that! He's my daddy. What if he becomes too exhausted?"

"He's mine, so I can do whatever I want. Do you have any problem with that? Go find yourself a husband to serve you then!"

Mango held Nathaniel's arm as she continued to complain childishly.

Rita pouted her lips in an upset expression.

"Daddy!"

She had an aggrieved expression on her face, and Nathaniel immediately became distressed when he saw it.

"Mommy is just kidding with you. Don't be angry, Rita. Come on, let me hug you." "Nathaniel!" Mango looked at Nathaniel with annoyance as if she was daring him to hug her.

Nathaniel felt a headache coming when he saw how both of them were acting.

"She's merely a child."

After saying that, Nathaniel picked Rita up.

Rita stuck out her tongue at Mango and made a face. Mango was so pissed off that she almost wanted to pull Rita out of her husband's embrace.

"Hmm... that's a secret."

"A secret? Alright then."

Rita nodded and stopped thinking about this question.

Meanwhile, Nathaniel took the opportunity to give her a lesson, "Rita, you know that mommy no longer has a baby. Shouldn't you comfort her?"

"Can I give mommy a hug then?"

"Of course you can!"

Rita jumped down from her chair and walked over until she was standing in front of Mango.

Then, she tip-toed and stretched her tiny hands towards Mango.

"Mommy, let me give you a hug."

Mango's heart instantly melted at this scene.

She directly picked up Rita and said softly, "I... I was heartbroken when I heard that you were going to marry me off to someone else!"

"Well, mommy, you were trying to marry me off too!"

Rita immediately retorted.

Mango sighed and said, "I was just kidding."

"I was just joking too. So, mommy, let's not fight over daddy anymore, shall we? Can we love each other forever?"

"Alright."

Mango nodded quickly in reply.

Then, Rita continued asking, "Daddy has stayed with you for one whole night, so can he sleep with me tonight?"

Mango's mouth twitched again when she heard Rita's question.

This brat! She was trying to push her limits just because she had given in to her just now!

Mango was about to say no when she heard Nathaniel replying with a smile, "Alright, I'll sleep with you tonight."

"Yeah! You're the best, daddy!"

Rita kissed Mango's face casually. Then, she struggled to get down to the ground and sat down beside Nathaniel.

"Daddy, I want to eat some cola chicken wings."

"Alright. Here you go."

Nathaniel gently put the plate of chicken wings in front of Rita.

Mango felt depressed when she saw this.

What the heck was going on here?

After all, her husband had finally returned to her after a long period of waiting. Thus, she thought that he would spend more time with her. However, she never expected a love rival to appear suddenly and steal him away!"

"Honey, I'm still a patient. Shouldn't you spend more time with me instead?"

Mango looked at Nathaniel with a pitiful expression on her face.

Nathaniel said with a smile, "Well, that's true. You may need to have a good rest since you are a patient. So, from today onwards, I will sleep in Rita's room till the wound on your back completely turns into a scab."

Mango felt devastated when she heard Nathaniel's words!
