The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye) novel Chapter 225

It was Yetta!

Gosh! It was actually Yetta's phone number!

Because of that, Mango's hand trembled a little.

She had just argued with Nathaniel for Yetta's sake not long ago. Then now, Mango unexpectedly received a call from her.

Why did she not pick up earlier?

Was there a hidden reason behind all this?

As Mango continued watching the news on TV, a horrible thought flashed through her mind.

Was Yetta doing this to help Abyss?

Did Abyss plan all this?

When Mango had racing thoughts, the phone kept on ringing.

She had to take a deep breath to suppress her emotions before she answered the phone.

"Mango, help me! Come quickly and save me!"

It was Yetta's voice that came from the other end of the phone.

Right now, Mango was no longer worried nor stressed upon hearing Yetta’s voice.

In fact, as she stared at Abyss' embarrassed expression on the television, she felt an indecipherable emotion could be found through his eyes. Mango could not decipher it, but she felt that Abyss was involved in all of this.

"Yetta, where are you now?"

Mango's voice was eerily calm, which stunned Yetta for a moment. However, she was back to her panic voice and said, "I don’t know where I am! Please help me, I’m so scared!"

"Why did you run from Nathaniel?"

Instead of checking on Yetta’s situation, Mango asked this question.

Then, Yetta burst into tears.

"Mango, what's wrong with you? What are you talking about? Someone snuck up on me at home and they kidnapped me! I was already here when I woke up. It’s so dark here, and I don’t know where I am... Mango, please help me, I’m scared!"

Yetta's alibi was watertight, but why were there so many coincidences?

Did Yetta happen to be taken away when Nathaniel was looking for her to find out about Mango's parents' disappearance?

"Yetta, we're friends, right?"

At the moment, Mango's words confused Yetta.

"Yeah, of course, we're friends."

"Then tell me, why did you call my parents, and how did you find their phone numbers?"

Yetta did not know how to answer Mango's series of questions. To make matters worse, it was then that Mango heard her mother's voice in the background. "Dear, don't you dare fall asleep! Wake up!"

Mrs. Shen had unintentionally spoken these words. Furthermore, the words sounded anxious, eager, worried and they carried a hint of tears as well.

Mango's heartrate spiked in an instant.

"Yetta, where exactly are you?"

Mango's heart could no longer calm down.

No matter if this was a trap set by Abyss or it was the joint efforts of Yetta and Abyss, she was unable to stay calm.

Mango felt very distressed when she received the picture of Mr. and Mrs. Shen not long ago. Now that she had heard her mother's shouts, Mango felt as if her heart was about to shatter.

Even if she had to crawl through the fires of hell, she would try her best to save them.

Then, Yetta sobbed as she said, "I don't know! I can’t see anything and there are other people here... but I can hear the sound of the ocean waves so we might be next to it."

Before Mango could ask more questions, Yetta suddenly hung up.

When Mango called again, the phone had been turned off.

Next to the ocean?

Mango had no idea if this was just a tactic to lure her out, but she could not just do nothing.

Then, she sent a message to Nathaniel. However before she could send it, she realized something and she deleted it. Obviously, someone had tapped this phone.

Next, she got up and left the room before she rushed to find Thomas immediately.

"Lend me your phone."

At the sight of her urgency, Thomas did not dare to dawdle and he hurriedly handed his phone over to Mango.

After Mango took it over, she quickly sent a message to Nathaniel. In the message, she informed him about what had happened just now as well as her suspicions.

Furthermore, she told him that she suspected that all of this was planned by Abyss and Yetta.

Although she did not know why it turned out like this or why Yetta would help Abyss plot against her, Mango had to tell Nathaniel about her suspicions.

It was because she could not afford to risk her parents' lives.

Meanwhile, Nathaniel was still on scene at the press conference and there were many reporters surrounding him.

His phone rang once before it fell silent.

When he saw that it was Thomas's number, Nathaniel immediately swiped his phone to unlock it and he noticed that Mango had left him a few text messages.

Abyss did not expect that Nathaniel dared to say this in public.

As far as he knew, Zion had not been found yet, so perhaps Nathaniel was attacking him because Nathaniel thought Abyss had kidnapped Zion. As long as Nathaniel believed that to be true, he would never admit his relationship with Mango. So, Abyss had never planned for the possibility that Nathaniel would admit it to the public.

Did Nathaniel not care about Zion's life?

Abyss frowned deeply.

"Mr. Ye, you're quite the joker. I saved your wife five years ago, but now you're plotting against the Tang family at every turn. Are you a reasonable person? Aren't you biting the hand that feeds you?"

Then, Abyss redirected the question to Nathaniel.

Nathaniel sneered as he replied, "Don’t act like you don't know why I’m doing this to you. Of course, I'm grateful to you for saving my wife, but is it wrong for me to hold you accountable for threatening me and imprisoning my wife? Am I at fault to hold you responsible for poisoning my daughter?"

"Mr. Ye, you can’t make baseless accusations. What evidence do you have to back these claims? As far as I know, isn’t Mrs. Ye currently with you at the hospital? Furthermore, your daughter, Rita has been receiving treatment for the past five years at the St. Petersburg Hospital, which belongs to my family. This is all public knowledge. I have no idea why you’ re treating me like this to the point of slandering my name. As far as I’m concerned, I’ve done you a great service by saving your wife, but you insist on making life difficult for me. Could I be a threat to you by rescuing your wife?"

Nathaniel was impressed by Abyss' ability to twist the facts.

In truth, he did not have any evidence of what Abyss did. Even if he had the list of purchases from the Fallen Paradise, he could not use it, lest Mango's identity would be scrutinized, and even unpleasant words would be targeted at them.

Clearly, Nathaniel did not want to see any of that happen to her.

As he looked at Abyss' confident expression, Nathaniel could not wait to wallop the smug look off his face.

Apparently, Mango thought this man was perfect. God, was she blind?

Nathaniel's gaze darkened as he thought of Mango, who was still in an unknown location, and he worried about whether or not she was in danger.

"Abyss, you'd better pray my wife is safe and sound, if not I'll destroy the entire Tang family!"

"Are you threatening me, Mr. Ye?" The two men bristled in front of all the reporters, and the beginnings of a fight started to brew around them.

In the meantime, Mango had already arrived at the beach.

After she left the hospital, she threw her old phone away and she purchased a new one. Next, she fitted a new SIM card in it before she got into the car, and she immediately called Merle.

"Do you think you can pinpoint my location?"

"I don't think I can. Madam, your current phone doesn't have a bearing on my location."

Merle was speechless for a moment at Mango’s request.

No matter how capable he was, he could not geolocate a new phone without any information.

After that, Mango sent her location to him.

"Hurry over here! I've got something urgent to deal with. If you can, get a team to follow me. I might need their help when they arrive."

At first, Mango had not wanted to use the strength of the Dark Night Empire, but she had no clue about what Nathaniel was doing at the moment. Even if she told him, she was unsure if Nathaniel would be there in time to help her. She wanted to have a solid backup plan for her and her parents, so she called Merle.
