Chapter 1356
"Who is it?"
Priscilla was surprised and placed her hand gently on her waist.
This was her palace, and only her subordinates were allowed inside. How could someone sneak into her secretly without her noticing?
At this thought, Priscilla felt terrified.
Then, she stared at the corner of the room. The voice had resounded from the window, which meant that the intruder was either hiding under the window or behind it.
Right now, Priscilla was ready to act at any time.
At this moment, Mango slowly walked out from behind the curtain.
Pricilla was surprised, and she didn't know what to feel when she saw Mango.
Why was Mango here?
No, when did she get here?
If Mango was already here when Nathaniel had arrived at her palace, did that mean that she had witnessed how embarrassing Priscilla was?
At this thought, Priscilla was displeased.
She really didn't like Mango!
On the other hand, Mango noticed her anger, but she didn't care about it. Instead, she went straight to Priscills's side and poured herself a cup of wine. Then, she put it under his nose and sniffed it. "Well, this is pretty good wine. How could you be this selfish to keep it for yourself?"
"Mango, why are you here? This isn't something a noble young lady should do, right?"
Priscilla said coldly, and her aura was frightening. Despite that, Mango acted as if nothing had happened. Then, she took a sip of the wine and felt her body tingling with warmth.
Right now, Angolla's weather was too cold. She happened to pass by because Mckenzie was asleep, and she had to go back. However, she saw Nathaniel walking toward Priscilla, so she couldn't help following him. In fact, she had witnessed everything that happened just now.
Initially, Mango didn't plan to show herself. However, she couldn't bear to see Priscilla in such pain and distress. Most importantly, she overheard the conversation between Maya and Priscilla. Hence, she found out that Priscilla decided to give up their plan and instead sent someone to protect her. Upon hearing this, she knew that Priscilla wasn't a bad person after all.
However, when she saw how Priscilla was glaring at her fiercely, she suddenly felt guilty as if she had done something wrong.
"Calm down. I'm not a bad person. Besides, I'm the leader of Dark Night Empire. Don't you know that, Your Highness?"
"I always thought you had the position because of your relationship with Mr. Ye!"
Priscilla did not hide the disdain and displeasure on her face as she said this.
On the other hand, Mango did not care much. She was delighted that Priscilla was finally willing to let go of her feelings and stop coveting her husband. It was truly something worth celebrating. She would not want to be enemies with Priscilla as long as the latter didn't try to seduce her husband.
"Hah! How could you say this? Do you think of me as a fool?
"I'm glad that you know that then."
Priscilla could also tell that Mango wasn't here to fight. However, she couldn't get rid of her frustration.
Why did this woman deserve all the love from Nathaniel?
It would be alright if she had given up on her feelings for Nathaniel, but she refused to allow Mango to make fun of her.
"Mango, get up and fight with me."
"Why should I do that? I am Nathaniel's wife, so I'm your sister-in-law. Aren't you afraid that Nathaniel will punish you when he finds out about this?"
Mango retorted, but it only caused Priscilla to tremble out of anger.
"Urgh! I regret it. I don't need to wait till tomorrow because I'm going to kill you now. Even if Mr. Ye resents me from now on, I need to get my revenge anyhow." After speaking, she walked towards Mango.
Mango knew that Priscilla was unwilling to give up, so she quickly dodged and avoided the attack. In fact, she wanted to make sure that her skills had not deteriorated.
She had been in poor health these days. Although she always had Nathaniel by her side, she knew that she had to rely on herself. Moreover, she did not want to be a burden to Nathaniel. After all, she knew that the real danger awaited her tomorrow after Mckenzie had life.
Hence, it was a good time for her to practice her defensive skills on Priscilla.
At the thought of this, Mango put down her cup and fought with Priscilla.
Meanwhile, Priscilla was amazed by her skills. Most importantly, why did Mango's attacks look so familiar, just like Nathaniel's?
She suddenly understood something, and she felt even depressed.
She had only saved Nathaniel's life, and he had repaid her by giving her a few pointers. However, she didn't expect him to teach Mango all of his skills.
Suddenly, she was filled with jealousy once again.
"D*mn it, Mr. Ye actually taught you personally."
"He is my husband, so he taught me a lot more than this."
Mango rarely fought to her heart's content. Under normal circumstances, her body would not allow her to do so. However, she wanted to do it as she liked now.
Moreover, Nathaniel trusted Priscilla. Therefore, she had to see for herself whether Priscilla was worthy of his trust.
In fact, she had never intended to be Priscilla's enemy since the beginning.
On the other hand, Priscilla was so agitated that she attacked Mango violently.
"Mango, are you showing off?"
"Ah, I get you've realised my intentions. Sorry about that!"
Although Mango knew that she was acting like a brat, Priscilla did not disappoint her either. After hearing what she had said, Priscilla had given her a vicious punch on the shoulder. Once again, the excruciating pain Mango was feeling immediately lit up her burning spirit.
If she let Priscilla off right now because the latter had said a few words, she could be going too easy on her! Furthermore, she could never forget how this woman had coveted her husband!" "Priscilla Fang, show me what you've got. Let me see the martial skills that you are so proud of!"
"If I win, will you give Mr. Ye to me?"
"In your dreams! Besides, Nathan just staked his claim so clearly. Are you deaf?"
Mango's words were clear and direct, as if she was telling Priscilla that she knew everything that happened between them just now.
After hearing this, Priscilla felt a little embarrassed.
"Urgh! Mango Shen, you're really annoying."
"Well, you're pretty irritating yourself, Priscilla."
The two women were fighting like crazy right now. They were snitching each other's hair and punching each other's arms childishly.
At this moment, they put away their noble status and started to fight like two crazy woman.
Soon, both of them were exhausted and lay on the floor.
ON the other hand, Priscilla felt a lot better upon seeing Mango's dishelved appearance.
Meanwhile, Mango was a little depressed that she didn't win against Priscilla. Alas! Priscilla was indeed skilled at flighting.
"Hah! No wonder you dared to covet my husband so openly. It seems that you do have some skills up your sleeves."
Mango panted heavily as she looked at the Priscilla with a hint of admiration.
Priscilla was startled when she saw the admiration in Mango's gaze. She was stunned for a moment before realising that Mango wasn't as weak as she had thought and that the latter was even powerful. However, her stamina...
Then, she said with some contempt, "Urgh! You're so weak. Mr. Ye must have wasted so much time to teach you!"
"Well, not like I can do anything about it."
Mango shrugged indifferently and didn't say anything.
After all, she wanted to keep this issue between her and Nathaniel, so she didn't need to tell anyone about this.
"Get up and drink with me."
Priscilla kicked Mango's feet while saying this.
However, Mango said angrily, "Aren't you afraid that I'll tell Nathan that you bullied me?"
"Hmph, stop acting like a child who only knows to complain! You're so pathetic because that's all you can do!"
"Hey! At least I have someone to complain to, right?"
Mango was having the best time of her life as she continued to show off.
Priscilla's mouth twitched when she heard this. How could Mango be this annoying?
"Are you going to drink it or not?"
"Of course, I will never refuse any free drinks."
After saying that, Mango got up and sat down at the table.
Then, Priscilla poured two cups of wine. Although she was a little dissatisfied, she gave up and said,
"Well, then. Greetings, Mango Shen, my dear sister-in-law."
Upon hearing this, Mango grinned happily, and a bright smile covered her face. However, Priscilla felt even more annoyed after seeing this.
"I'm warning you now. You should stop overstepping your boundaries! Although I acknowledged you, I didn't say that I would give up my feelings for Mr. Ye."
"Why are you doing this?"
Mango felt a little depressed when she heard this.
Suddenly, the wine in her hand was no longer tasty.
On the other hand, Priscilla felt much better upon seeing Mango's distress.
"Don't you think that you can make me feel better just by fighting me. I might have promised to protect you while you're here, but I never said that I would give up on Mr. Ye."
"Well, let's see whether you have the ability to stay around him then! You can go ahead and try if you're not afraid of being the third wheel in our relationship."
Mango refused to let Priscilla have the upper hand in this argument.
Priscilla immediately became speechless when she heard what Mango had said.
"Does Mr. Ye know you are such a rascal?"
"Of course he does but he likes me the way I am. Do you have a problem with that?"
Mango tilted her head as she asked this question. Thus, Priscilla wanted to beat her up when she saw the arrogant look on Mango's face.
"Hmph! You're shameless!"
"Thank you for the compliment."
Mango picked up her wine cup and took a sip. After that, the pain in her body was greatly alleviated.
Since she was in poor health, Nathaniel didn't allow her to drink alcohol. However, it felt good to drink some wine under this cold weather.
When Priscilla noticed how Mango had tasted the wine gracefully, she decided to forget all the previous misunderstandings that she had about Mango. After all, she realised that Mango was pretty easy to get along with.
Although she hated to do so, she had to admit that there were times that she felt inferior to Mango.
"Hey! What were you planning to do to me initially?"
Mango was a little curious, so she asked this.
Although she knew that Priscilla would not give up the opportunity to frame her at the party, she did not expect the latter to cancel the plan all of a sudden.
Priscilla frowned slightly because she didn't want to talk about this at all. After all, she felt as if Mango was reminding her about how despicable she used to be. "Why should I tell you about that?"
"Fine, I don't want to know it too. But I'm more curious about something else. How did you fall in love with my husband?"
Mango was the one who raised the subject shamelessly.
Thus, Priscilla felt even more depressed when she heard the word 'husband' coming out of Mango's lips.
"Can we only drink and not talk today?"
"Nah, that's so boring! Are you drinking because you're depressed?"
"Of course I'm drinking because I'm upset! Did you think that I would be celebrating because your husband broke my heart?"
Priscilla felt that she really couldn't get along well with Mango. This b*tch never failed to irritate her!
However, Mango said naturally, "Look, have you ever been in love? I'm sure that this is just unrequited love. After all, my husband never responded to your feelings, so you've never dated anyone either.
"Mango Shen!"
Suddenly, Priscilla sprang to her feet when she heard footsteps coming from outside. Her brows furrowed as she subconsciously pushed Mango into the room behind her before closing the door.
