The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)

"Say it. I don't think we have much friendship left over these years. Don't be pretentious anymore."

Mango's indifferent attitude made Haniya feel a little uncomfortable, but she was no longer the little nurse who used to follow Mango. She coughed and said, "Mrs. Ye, I hope you can leave here immediately."

"You hope? Immediately? Who do you think you are?"

Mango had thought about what Haniya would say before, but she didn't expect it to be like this. She couldn't help sneering.

"Time is indeed a good thing to test people's hearts. Haniya, I don't even know you now."

Mango didn't care about Haniya's feelings at all.

Haniya's fingers pinched the hem of her clothes tightly, trying hard to suppress the emotions in her heart, but in the end, her calmness disappeared because of Mango's words.

"What right do you have to say this? Mango, you've been living a luxurious life since you were young. But what about me? I grew up in an orphanage. I didn't have parents to love me, and no siblings to care for me. I didn't even dare to have a dream. Later, when I had to work, you could just enjoy the love of your parents and no need to worry about work. You could apply to any school you want without having to work But what about me? I could only give up my dream and work hard to get a job to live a stable life and support myself. When I was working and studying, you might be playing the violin or learning other noble etiquette, but I could have had all this! I'm also the daughter of a noble family, right?"

Haniya's words stunned Mango.

"What are you competing with me for? You don't understand my suffering, and you don't need to compete with me. You are indeed a noble lady, but I'm not the one who caused you to become an orphan and live like an ordinary person, right? That's because your mother wanted to save you! Can't you even tell right from wrong now?"

Mango's voice turned completely cold.

Haniya didn't care anymore.

Since she had already said the most difficult beginning, it was better to spit out what she had been holding back in her heart all these years.

"Yes, it was my mother who did this to save me. My father was the bad guy. I surely can't blame you, but if it weren't for you and Nathaniel, my family wouldn't have collapsed. My mother wouldn't have allowed me to stay outside all year round. She would find me and recognize me! At that time, I would have the ability, so what if my father didn't like me? I could still bring glory to my family, couldn't I? But when I knew my identity, my family had already been destroyed. When I was a child, I had been imagining that one day I could be a princess, but when my wish was granted, my family was ruined. I admit that you did me a favor. Because of you, I was not implicated by my family. I even broke into the military camp. But you shouldn't give me this opportunity."

"Before I entered the military camp, I could not worry so much, because I didn't even have the qualifications to enter that sacred place. But why didn't you pave the way for me after you gave me this opportunity? With the relationship between the Ye family and the Mo family, I didn't have to work so hard. But because I was the daughter of a sinful minister, I had to work ten times harder than others, but I couldn't get the honor I should have. Every struggle I made was only helping others to succeed. You made me disappoint again and again and became desperate. What should I do? What can I do? I want to tell everyone that even if my family is gone, as long as I am here, the glory of my family is also still here. But because of your relationship with the Ye Family, those who oppose you took me as a punching bag. Even if I owe you, I have returned it to you all these years, haven't I? Look at your son, a little boy who doesn't know anything, but was personally taught by Master Mo. To be honest, have you done everything for me? As long as you give me a bit of preferential treatment as your son, I wouldn't use Desmond to plot against your daughter!"

Haniya's words made Mango tremble with anger. She even wanted to slap her, but she held it back.

After so many years of friendship and because of Desmond, she didn't make a move, but her eyes were frighteningly cold.

"If you told me at that time that you wanted to stay in the military region by relying on your connections, I would never give you this opportunity. You said that you wanted to develop in the military region on your own, and you vowed that you would be outstanding. Why do you blame me for not paving the road for you now? Haniya, these years of good quality life of yours have worn down your conscience, and you don't even have the most basic shame, right? If I don't use my connections to help you, can you even stay in the military region? Don't you know what your family has done? Do you want to compete with my son? Can you even compare with him? That's my son! I, Mango, have been pregnant for ten months, gone through so many hardships, and gave birth to him. Who else am I going to do this for except for my own son? Do you even want to be my children now? Did you climb out of my belly? Do you have the right to stand here and accuse me of not going for you but my son?"

These words mercilessly hit Haniya, making her face turn blue and purple, but also ashamed.

"Mango Shen, don't go too far!"

"I'm going too far? Haniya, I've sent you so many letters over the years, but you haven't replied to a single one. I thought you were doing this for my good. I thought that you were afraid that the Mo family would be worried if I was in touch with your military region. So no matter how much I want to know if you're doing well, I didn't investigate and disturb you. I believe I've done what a friend should do, but now are you going to put all your blame on me? Fine, I don't care anymore. From now on, Haniya Bell, let's not have contact with each other again in the

future!"

Mango's words were not out of anger.

Over the past few years, she had been doted on by Nathaniel and her children. She hadn't been angry for such a long time. If it were someone else today, it would not have ended so easily. However, it was because she was Haniya, Desmond's wife, that Mango could bear it.

However, Haniya seemed to have heard something that triggered her and she became agitated.

"I'm going too far? I don't treat you as a friend? Mango, if it weren't for the fact that I remembered your little kindness toward me in the past, do you think I wouldn't have been targeting you for so many years?" "What do you mean?"

"What do I mean? Don't pretend. I used to wonder why you set me up with Desmond. I thought you were kind-hearted and even grateful to you secretly for this. But what about the truth? Do you dare to tell me the truth?"

Haniya's voice was hoarse and her eyes were bloodshot, which was very scary, but it also stunned Mango.

The truth?

What was the truth?

She did this because she thought Haniya and Desmond were a good match for each other.
