The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)

Just as Mango was hesitating, Nathaniel said, "What's the relationship between Prisca and Lebanon? Are they close?"

After a pause, Mango shook her head and said, "The two of them have just formed an alliance. To be exact, they did it because of me. Well, I think that we will be safer at Priscilla's palace because she won't do anything to you."

Nathaniel felt upset when he heard what Mango had said.

"You'll be hurt if you go there."

"Well, who knows what will happen?"

Mango smiled softly as she said this. Seeing her bright smile, Nathaniel agreed and said, "Alright, but you must let me know if she bullies you."

"Of course. You're my guardian!"

Mango held Nathaniel's arm like a spoiled child and rubbed her body against him. Meanwhile, Nathaniel was instantly aroused.

"What are you trying to do?"

His voice was hoarse, but Mango immediately noticed his intentions. She quickly left and said with a chuckle, "Haha! I'm so used to it now."

"I don't mind you doing it again tonight."

Nathaniel would have thrown himself on her if it weren't for the situation right now, so he could only control his eagerness right now.

On the other hand, Mango laughed cheekily and didn't say anything.

"By the way, if we want to leave, we should hurry up. I'm afraid that Prisca might changed her mind soon. Anyway, I'll go and find Mckenzie now." Before Nathaniel could say anything, Mango had already run away hurriedly as if she couldn't wait to ditch him.

When he saw this, he shook his head helplessly and laughed. Suddenly, his face became serious.

He had said such harsh words to Priscilla before he left her place. If he were to bring Mango back now, would Priscilla hold a grudge against her?

At this thought, Nathaniel felt somewhat depressed.

At this moment, he received a call from Peiscilla.

"Mr. Ye, where are you? My father went to Lebanon's palace, and I will go there right away. My guards will come to your rescue and bring you back to my place."

Priscilla said urgently.

Nathaniel knew that Priscilla was concerned about his safety. She was worried as she had found out that Laborn had suddenly visited Lebanon's place. Although she was mad because Nathaniel had left her behind, she couldn't bear to see him in danger.

When Nathaniel heard this, he said in a low voice, "Don't go there. I'm not at Lebanon's place. Also, I'll bring Mango over later. If you find it uncomfortable, then we'll find another place to stay."

This meant that they would only stay her place if Priscilla could tolerate Mango. If she couldn't do that, they would find another place to stay.

Priscilla was a bit stunned when she heard this. However, her jealousy struck again.

Urgh! Nathaniel was mean to her because of Mango, and now he was even on guard against her. This was something that Priscilla didn't expect.

It seemed that Nathaniel valued Mango a lot.

If she insisted on holding a grudge against Mango, Nathaniel would probably distant himself from her even more. In the end, their friendship would be completely destroyed. This was something she didn't want to lose, and she couldn't allow this opportunity to be taken away because of Mango.

At this thought, Priscilla hurriedly said, "Mr. Ye, what are you talking about? Since she is your wife, I will naturally treat her with care. Alright, I will send someone to pick you up."

"All right."

Nathaniel felt a little relieved upon hearing her words, but he was still cautious around her.

Although Priscilla seemed fine with it, he knew the fight between women had secretly started. However, he chose to stay by Mango's side regardlessly.

When Nathaniel ended the call, Mango came out with Mckenzie.

"Can we go over right now?"

Even though Mango knew what was going on, she was understanding, and she didn't show any of her emotions on her face. On the other hand, Nathaniel didn't know how could she be so tolerant. However, Nathaniel understood the current situation they were in. If they wanted to protect both Mango and Mckenzie, the safest place they could be right now was Priscilla's palace.

After that, Mckenzie looked at both of them and said in a low voice, "If there's nothing else, let's go now. I'm afraid that it'll be too dangerous for us to stay here for too long. "All right."

Mango held Nathaniel's arm, and all of them walked out together.

Meanwhile, Prisca was not surprised to see them coming out. She smiled and said, "Have you agreed to leave?"

Mango's heart skipped a beat when she heard this.

Mango felt uneasy as Prisca seemed to know everything. In fact, Prisca had even figured out her background and identity. In contrast, Mango knew nothing about her, which made her feel restless.

On the other hand, Nathaniel squinted his eyes at Prisca to take a closer look. Indeed, she was either very excellent in disguising or she was really naive. However, he knew he couldn't trust anyone in the roya family because they were scheming.

"Yes, we are leaving now. Thank you for taking care of my wife during this period of time. I will repay you for your kindness."

Nathaniel said formally. After all, he would act friendly as long as the other party didn't have any ulterior motives.

Then, Prisca replied with a smile, "Well, I'll keep it in mind, but I don't need any assistance from you guys right now. But who knows? I might have to trouble you guys in the future."

Her words made Mango feel a little conflicted. However, she had no choice but to accept this because of the situation that they were in.

"Is my cousin alright?"

Since Prisca had already found out everything about her family, there was no point in hiding anymore. Thus, she decided to ask this directly.

"Nah, it'll be fine. Laborn will not do anything awful to him. Don't worry. Since Lebanon has promised to cooperate with Tristan, my father will not make things difficult for him for my cousin's sake." Prisca looked proud and delighted when she mentioned Tristan's name.

Mango remembered this name secretly and planned to investigate Tristan's background.

"Should I ask someone to send you guys off?"

Prisca was generous and poised.

"Thank you, but well leave ourselves. I don't want to trouble you too much too."

Well, Mango did not want Prisca to find out where they were heading to. However, she had to admit that Prisca was very informative as she knew everything that was going on in the palace.

"You are going to Priscilla's place, right? In that case, you don't have to walk past the junction. I know a route that will lead you to her palace directly."

Although they were unsure of Prisca intentions, the latter had proceeded in leading them to another route.

There were no patrols or guards along the path, and it was close to Priscilla's place. One could tell at a glance just how malicious Priscilla was when the latter had made them walk through the junction. However, Mango acted as if she didn't know anything and smiled gratefully, "Thank you."

"You're welcome. We're family, after all."

After that, Prisca still ordered someone to escort them out, and her men only left after all of them had arrived at the shortcut.

Meanwhile, Nathaniel was displeased when he found out that they could actually bypass the junction.

It seemed that his predictions were right. Priscilla had indeed planned on harming Mango.

At this thought, Nathaniel tugged at Mango and whispered, "I'll contact Michael later and get him to personally bring you and Mckenzie away."

"No! I'm not leaving!"

On the other hand, Mango knew that Nathaniel was worried about her, but it was risky for Michael to come.

Why should they put another person in danger? After all, they weren't sure if the three of them could escape this place safely!

Furthermore, Mango had to meet Priscilla no matter what. Nothing could change her mind, not even Nathaniel.

Meanwhile, Nathaniel was feeling upset.

"Mango!"

"Let her stay. She'll feel even more uneasy if she doesn't know what happened between you and Priscilla, right? Therefore, you should let her meet personally to ease her worries so that she won't think too much about your relationships."

Mckenzie could not help but voice out when she saw how both of them were acting.

On the other hand, Nathaniel sighed and said, "There's nothing between me and Priscilla, and nothing else will happen in the future."

"Then why are you so afraid of me staying here with you?"

Mango was displeased when she questioned this.

Meanwhile, Nathaniel felt that the situation was a little out of control.

"I am afraid that she will hurt you, and I don't want you to suffer."

"Heh! Who knows which one of us will be suffering in the end!"

Mango was determined to fight long and hard to protect her husband and her marriage. Thus, she was not worried about how powerful Priscilla was as she would be not afraid of her.

Hence, Nathaniel didn't say anything else when he saw how stubborn Mango was.

Then, the three of them followed the path directly to Priscilla's palace.

When Priscilla saw Nathaniel and Mango walking over through this shortcut, her expression hardened slightly. Then, she quickly looked at Nathaniel as their eyes met. However, Nathaniel was wearing a disappointed and furious gaze, so Priscilla immediately became upset.

Who on earth told them about this route?

Hah! Someone had betrayed her! There was no doubt about this!

However, she did not say anything about it. Instead, she looked straight at Mango.

Sure enough, Mango was charming and bewitching.

At this thought, Priscilla felt displeased.

Mango was indeed a tough opponent.

On the other hand, Mango had a different first impression of Priscilla. Although she had imagined Priscilla's appearance various times before, she did not expect the latter to be so beautiful and attractive. Her beauty was out of this word, and Mango could not take her eyes off of her.

Then, Mango felt uneasy upon realising that the woman had taken a liking to her husband.

Meanwhile, Nathaniel could also sense the tension in the air. He coughed and said, "Ahem! This is my wife, Mango. Dear, this is the little sister of mine that I told you before, Priscilla."

After hearing this, Mango smiled as she stretched out her arm towards Priscilla.

"Nice to meet you, Priscilla. Thank you for your care during this period of time."

"It's nothing."

Priscilla greeted her with a handshake, but she secretly exerted some force on it.

The fight between the two women had already begun from the moment they first met. Mango felt Priscilla provoking her, so she smiled and returned the favour by gripping Priscilla's hand harder.

A split second later, Priscilla suddenly let go of her hand. Everything looked very normal, but Mango lost her balance and stumbled forward. Just then, a pair of gentle arms held her tightly, and a soft voice resounded, "Are you hungry? Look at you! You can't even stand straight now."

Nathaniel helped Mango up and looked at her gently. However, Priscilla felt heartbroken when she saw this scene.
