The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)

Was she walking right into their trap?

Mango couldn't answer this question, but she knew that she needed to find out Angela's identity. After all, Nathaniel and Rita weren't by her side, so she didn't know what to do. "Then I'll go with you."

Magnolia was still very worried about Mango, so she said this.

When Mango looked at Magnolia, she suddenly thought about her own mother, Queena. If Queena was still alive, she would have been the most worried about Mango. Suddenly, she felt a little upset.

She nodded and whispered, "If my mother was still alive, she would've care about me like you too."

Magnolia was slightly stunned to hear this. Then, she sighed and said, "I regret not coming back earlier the most."

"I guess fate likes to play tricks on us, so sometimes, we have to yield to them. When these things are over, you should follow me back to visit grandpa. He misses you so much." Mango knew that she could not completely trust Magnolia, but some feelings could not be suppressed.

Well, she just hoped that Magnolia was worthy of all the sacrifices she made for her.

Then, Magnolia nodded and said quietly, "I'll wash up and follow you to Zelle Village.

"All right."

Mango nodded. Then, she turned around and went to wash up as well.

After all, she put Bettany in charge of the matters of Longford County, and it would be alright with her handling the matters. Besides, this village had always been Bettany's hometown. Thus, Mango also arranged for Wisdom to stay behind.

Meanwhile, Wisdom nodded in agreement when he heard Mango's instructions. He just hoped for Mango's safe return.

Soon after, Mango and Magnolia left for Zelle Village.

However, Zelle Village was still the same as the last time Nathaniel dropped by. Meanwhile, Paul Barnes, Angela's father, was surprised by Mango's sudden arrival.

"Mrs. Ye? Why are you here? Didn't you and Mr. Ye went to the back hill?"

"Is Angela back?"

When Paul heard Mango's question, he shook his head in surprise.

"Angela brought Ms. Ye to find you. Didn't you see her?"

"Can I meet your wife?"

Mango did not reply and continued with a smile. However, Paul seemed to have sensed something.

"Wait, did Angela do something wrong?"

"Mr. Barnes, why do you think so?"

Mango asked directly, so Paul was immediately flustered,

"I...I don't know."

"Why don't you let me meet your wife then?"

Paul was the descendant of Longford County, and Mango hoped that she could be kind to them.

After that, Paul thought for a moment and whispered, "No matter what mistakes Angela made, I hope that you don't mention anything to my wife. She's not feeling well, and I don't want to increase her burden. I'm begging you!"

However, Mango could not agree with his request. After all, this was an urgent matter as it involved Nathaniel and Rita.

She whispered, "Mr. Barnes, I don't want to disturb you guys if I could. But now Angela had gone missing with my husband and daughter. Also, my husband is the current chief of Longford County. Do you think I should ask your wife about this?"

Paul was stunned upon hearing this.

"It's impossible! How could Angela do such a thing to your family?"

"I don't believe it either, so I came over to check out the situation. After all, we don't want to turn our backs against Zelle Village."

Barnes was speechless when he heard this.

"That brat, how could she do that? I'll definitely teach her a lesson."

"But first, we have to find her."

Mango walked in as she spoke, and he didn't stop her either.

However, Magnolia didn't say after coming here. Then, she stayed behind Mango quietly and followed Mango in as well.

Since Barnes didn't know about Magnolia's identity, he didn't dare to block her way.

Jus then, Mango arrived at Barnes room. At this time, Barnes had just woken up.

"Mrs. Ye, why..." "Mrs. Barnes, can I talk to you privately?" Mango's gaze was gentle, so Paul's wife, Olivia, immediately felt safe.

Then, Olivia nodded and said to her husband with a smile, "Dear, I want to drink some chicken soup you made last time. Can't you make it for me?"

Since his wife had made such a request, what else could Paul say?

"You should calm down a bit."

Paul left after saying this.

Meanwhile, Magnolia also walked out after Mango had ordered her to do so.

Soon, Mango and Olivia were the only ones left in the room, but the latter looked very concerned.

"Mrs. Ye, did our daughter do something wrong?"

Mango was also a mother herself, so she felt bad for Olivia.

She whispered, "Yes, she has done something, but you should calm down first. I just came to know more about the situation."

After that, Mango told Olivia clearly about what had happened without leaving out any of the details.

Meanwhile, Olivia looked upset after she heard what had happened. However, she quickly apologised and said, "Sorry, Mrs. Ye. I didn't teach my daughter well. I'm sorry for what had happened." "Don't say that. We're haven't found Angela yet, so we still don't know what's going on. I believe that Angela will not hurt my husband and daughter, but I really want to know where they are now. Madam, do you have any idea where Angela might be?"

Somehow, Mango felt that Olivia would know her own daughter's thoughts better than anyone else.

However, Olivia shook her head and said, "That child has been disobedient since young. Since she's our only child, I've been spoiling her since her childhood as my body is quite weak too. I still remember when she told me that Captain Eaves was going to guide her, so she was very happy. However, I can't believe that my daughter was an accomplice that worked for someone else!"

Well, Mango didn't believe it either, and that was why she came to Zelle Village. However, she couldn't get any useful information from Olivia, so she was a little disappointed.

"I believe in Angela's personality and I'm sure that she must have done so because she had her own problems. However, Mrs. Barnes, you are also a mother yourself, and I'm sure you understand my feelings. My daughter is only five years old, and my husband is not in good health. Now that both of them have gone missing with your daughter, how could I not be worried?"

Olivia looked at Mango and nodded. Then, she said softly, "I understand how you feel. But, Mrs. Ye, my daughter will definitely not do such things. I know her well, and I think she would never help an evildoer and ignore the safety of her own family. Although Zelle Village is our home, we can't do anything if you decide to destroy this place, right? If my daughter really committed crimes, she wouldn't have leave us here to die! Moreover, she didn't tell us anything before she left. Well, I'm not trying to stand up for her, and I'm just stating the facts."

Mango looked at Olivia when she heard this. Olivia looked weak and fragile, but now, Mango looked at her in a new light.

However, Olivia was right.

This was also why Mango never suspected Angela's intentions in the first place. However, she never expected Olivia to be this considerate. "Madam, I'm impressed!"

"Mrs. Ye, you're quite smart too. After all, you wouldn't have come to a sick woman like me for advice if you didn't know what had happened, right?"

Olivia smiled faintly when she said this, so Mango could help but admire how calm she was right now.

"To be honest, Bettany received some news through the vermin, so I suspect that Angels was the one who sent it. She asked us not to take action for the time being and to wait for her news." Initially, Mango had never planned to tell Olivia about this, but she had no choice now.

After hearing this, Olivia was slightly stunned, so she said, "I think I know where they are.

"

"What? Where are they now?"

Mango was very anxious to know the answer.

Then, Olivia said in a low voice, "I can't reveal that for now. But if you want to find them, you should look for the descendants of the Donald family?"

"Huh? The descendants of the Donald family?"

"Yes, the Donald family are experts in array formations. Perhaps they can help you to find your daughter and your husband."

After hearing what Olivia had said, Mango was puzzled. However, she couldn't help but think of Lilian.

Well, Lilian was the one who had led them into the array formation a few days ago. Hence, was Lilian the descendant of the Donald family?

Mango was extremely excited at this thought, but she was also a little worried.

Lilian was still unconscious after taking the poison. Thus, she couldn't help out with anything now even if she was the descendant of the Donald family. Despite that, Mango was pleased to have received this information.

"Thank you, Mrs. Barnes. Take care of yourself, alright? I'll come back to see you later."

Mango smiled faintly with a gentle expression on her face as she said this.

Olivia nodded and said in a low voice, "Although I belong to Zelle Village, Longford County is my hometown. Hence, I also remember the tragedy that happened that year. Madam, please don't doubt me and my daughter. I can swear with my life that my daughter is not a traitor, and she won't ever betray you."

"I believe you."

Mango rarely put her trust on someone else, but at this moment, she was willing to believe what Olivia had said. Perhaps she believed Olivia because the latter was the only surviving member of the Longford County, or perhaps they were both mothers as well.

After that, both of them chatted a bit longer before Mango stood up and left.

Meanwhile, Magnolia hurriedly followed after Mango when she saw the latter coming out.

"Did you receive any information?"

"Yeah, I did."

Mango nodded and whispered, "I need to go to the hospital to check up on Lilian. Aunt, you should leave first."

"I'll go with you then. There are so many people in the hospital, so I'm afraid something will happen."

Mango was stunned when she heard what Magnolia was worried about.

"Alright then."

Mango did not refuse, and she drove to the hospital with Magnolia.

Meanwhile, Maverick was a little surprised when he saw them here. However, he only said faintly, "She's not awake yet. If you're here because you want to learn about array formations, I'm afraid that you'll be disappointed."

Mango was shocked when she heard what he had said.

"Wait, are you saying that you know about the array formations as well?"

After all, Maverick wasn't around when Lilian brought them into the array formation. But now he knew why Bettany and Mango had come here, so Mango was suspicious.

Then, Maverick continued, "Lilian told me about this when I was in a coma."

After that, he told both Mango and Magnolia what Lilian had said.

When Mango heard this, she was shocked. After all, she did not expect Lilian to have such a tragic childhood.

However, she still couldn't figure something out.

"Maverick, I don't mean to suspect Lilian of anything. But if what you said is true, it sounds like Lilian holds a grudge against Augustus. So, why did she let Augustus go?"
