The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye) novel Chapter 227

A chill swept through Mango's heart as the true intention of Yetta’s words had hit her.

It turned out that from the beginning, she was just an obstacle to Yetta. However, Yetta's five-year-long deception was very effective, and Mango begrudgingly admired her for that.

"Did you kidnap my parents for Abyss?"

Mango no longer wanted to understand the convoluted relationship between Yetta and Abyss.

Previously, she had always thought that they were innocent. However, after she heard Yetta's words, Abyss could very likely be using Yetta.

So what was the truth?

Actually, she had no idea. Instead, she just wanted to know where her parents were.

Yetta found that Mango was not interested in what had happened between her and Abyss at all, so she smiled bitterly.

“Abyss is deeply in love with you, but you did not appreciate it. Mango, sometimes I really think that your heart is so cold that it’s made of ice."

"How can you claim to know how I feel when you never went through the things I did? I'm grateful to Abyss for saving me five years ago, and I'm thankful to you for giving me plastic surgery. However, this doesn't mean that I have to accept all your feelings and emotions. Frankly, I never forced Abyss to like me, nor did I force you to become friends with me. I thought that your kindness was real and I' II remember it for the rest of my life, but what do you tell me now? All that was fake! Then, what was real? Yetta, have you ever felt the slightest bit of true sincerity toward me over the past five years? You know best how I treated you and Abyss. I couldn't reciprocate his feelings, so I could only just work hard to contribute to his wealth. I can repay my debts without going against my own feelings, right?"

Initially, Mango had no intention of saying this, but then she saw Yetta's stubborn expression. Hence, she sighed and said it anyway.

Yetta was stunned for a moment and she suddenly said with a smile, "Sometimes I envy you very much, Mango. You’re always so sure of yourself, of what you need and what you have to do. Unlike me, I’ve lost my true self for the love of one man."

Did Yetta regret now?

Mango wasn't sure of that, but now she was in a hurry to find her parents.

"What do I have to do before I can see my parents?"

Mango looked at Yetta placidly, but she no longer interested in her best friend’s complaints.

Then, Yetta spoke with a bitter tone in her voice, "Yeah, Abyss is the one who came up with the idea to kidnap your parents. He wants to use them to control you. Plus, I'm the only one who knows everything about your life for the past five years aside from him. If he can't be the villain, then I will." "So you were the one who called my parents and had them apply for passports to leave the country?"

Mango suddenly realized what was going on.

Previously, she thought that it was Newell that did this, but it turned out not to be him. In fact, it was strange to Mango because who else would know so much about her affairs and her parents though?

To her shock, it turned out to be Yetta!

Moreover, it was even Abyss' idea!

That being said, Abyss had been planning everything from that moment onwards.

Indeed, Abyss’ permission for Mango to return home to look for Nathaniel in order to conduct a paternity test for Rita was a farce.

In truth, he was afraid that he would lose Mango and that her feelings for Nathaniel would be rekindled. Hence, he decided to use her parents to control Mango.

However, Abyss did not expect the plan to be foiled by both Nathaniel and Mango. In order to make her parents stay in the country, she almost told them about her identity.

Furthermore, Yetta and Abyss were the only people at the time who knew her that well.

Even when Mango knew that someone had attempted to lure her parents overseas, she did not dare to be frank with her parents. So the parents were kept in the dark, and it was more likely that they would be able to lure out their parents this time.

"What have you done to them?" Mango's gaze was cold as she spoke.

Mango found it hard to cope with the betrayal from the people that she cared about the most. However, the feeling of being set up made her furious.

Now that things had reached this point, Yetta found it unnecessary to continue concealing the truth from Mango.

She sipped at the tea in the teacup as she spoke. "As I said, I never did anything to them. Can’t you see that the photos you saw were all photoshopped? Alas, people do lose all rational thought when they're worried. At first, Abyss wanted to kidnap your parents in order to make you come back to him. It doesn't matter to him that he can't have your heart as long as you physically stay with him. However, I've changed my mind."

"What do you mean by that?"

It was then that Mango realized Yetta and Abyss had different opinions on this issue.

Yetta murmured, "The only man that I'll ever want in my life is Abyss. Over the past five years, I've turned down all my suitors because I know deep down in my heart that Abyss is the man I’m going to marry. I’ m destined to be the young madam of the Tang family, so I won't let you spoil my plans."

"Are you going to kill me?"

Immediately, Mango’s senses went on high alert.

Was this person still Yetta that she befriended all those years ago?

Although these five years of friendship may be a farce, would Yetta really kill her? Yetta looked at Mango's surprised expression and she spoke with a bitter smile on her face, "Do you think I’ve become a cold-blooded killer?"

"No, that’s not it... I was just a little shocked, that’s all."

After Mango took a moment to calm down, she realized that her reaction was rather exaggerated.

However, Yetta stopped her from going over to them.

"Relax, they're just asleep for the time being. I've sedated them and it'll be a while before they wake up. I've arranged a boat for you and them to go first, and I'll find someone to take Nathaniel and your children to leave the country afterward."

Yetta's words stunned Mango.

"Why do I have to leave now? My daughter can't leave now and she won't survive the journey! What's more, she'll be devastated when she finds out I'm gone!"

"Mango, this is not up for negotiation. If you don't leave, all of you will die here. Your entire family will be killed except for you!"

Yetta's words astonished Mango.

"What on Earth is Abyss going to do?"

"Don't you understand what he's planning? He wants you! Except for you, he will slaughter everyone in the Ye family including your children. Plus, Nathaniel came from Ocean City to trip Abyss over and force the Tang family into submission. This is an insult to the Tang family, and a challenge to Abyss! Are you really so naive to think that Abyss is as gentle as he seems? He's a 'beast' in the business world, and he won't let anyone from the Ye family survive because he wants you. Everything is on his terms now! If the Ye Family were still alive, do you think he’ll ever be at ease as long as you still concern for the Ye family?"

Yetta suddenly raised her voice.

The pitch of Yetta’s words hit Mango like a truck.

"No! He’ll never do that! He watched Rita grow up, he..."

"Yeah, he watched Rita grow up, but he still gave her morphine, didn't he?"

Yetta's words struck Mango like a bolt from the blue.

Truthfully, she had always wanted to forget the incident that ever happened and she was afraid to face the facts. However, she did not expect that it was finally time to deal with Abyss’ betrayal.

Nevertheless, Yetta couldn’t care less about Mango’ s feelings. She said coldly, "There is a boat waiting behind the villa. You need to leave with your parents first. Go!"

"I won't leave! I can't leave either!"

Mango’s voice carried a tinge of determination.

"Are you insane?" "Yetta, I know that you're doing this for my own good and you don't want to hurt my parents. But I do know that if I leave, Abyss will never spare Nathaniel or my children. Your promises to get them out of the United States are just empty words to placate me. In fact, you and I know what Abyss will do to them, right?"

Mango's question made Yetta's expression suddenly darken.
