Chapter 972


    "What do you mean?"


    Mango asked with a gloomy face.


    Alfred said sarcastically, "What? All your team members have eaten the fruits that Lebanon bought,


    but now you''re acting dumb in front of me? If you really want to distance yourself from us, you


    should''ve refused them! Do you know how much those fruits cost?"


    Mango finally knew who gave the fruits. Did Lebanon send the fruits under her name?


    If she had known from the start that these fruits were from Lebanon, Mango would not have


    epted them!


    Now Alfred had ridiculed Mango because of this, so Mango''s face darkened involuntarily.


    "How much was it? I''ll transfer the money to you. By the way, tell Lebanon that he doesn''t need to


    do such things in the future. I don''t give a sh*t about him."


    As she spoke, Mango took out her phone and prepared to transfer the money.


    However, Alfred sneered, "What? Do you think Lebanon is short of money?"


    "What do you mean? Huh? What the h*ll are you doing?"


    Rainie felt that she really wanted to beat Alfred up.


    Alfred had such a horrible personality!


    Mango did not ask for Lebanon''s help at all, but now, Alfred was humiliating her because of his gift!


    Alfred averted her eyes from Rainie and said scornfully, "Hah! You''re not even famous enough to


    talk to me. Even if you be popr, you still can''t talk to me until you be someone like


    Lebanon."


    These words were simply too insulting!


    Mango''s eyes turned cold.


    "Was this your idea, or Lebanon''s idea?"


    "What''s the difference? After all, I''m his manager."


    "Alright, from now on, I guarantee that I won''t have any contact with Lebanon. Are one hundred


    thousand dors enough to cover for today''s fruits?"


    After Mango finished speaking, she directly transferred the money to Alfred and screenshotted it as


    proof.


    "You..."


    Alfred did not expect Mango to do that, and she was unhappy after receiving thetter''s Whatsapp


    message.


    "Ms. Shen, you don''t have to be so cold, do you? We''re all in the same industry, and we''ll meet one


    day. Why do you have to..."


    "I''m sorry. Please excuse us then."


    Mango did not want to listen to Alfred at all. She pushed Alfred aside and then pulled Rainie along


    with her. Then, both of them left without any hesitation.


    Rainie felt that Mango was too cool!


    "Wow! Mango, you were so brave just now."


    "Urgh! Lebanon is like a gue. I''m always unlucky when I met him. Look, I''ve just spent one


    hundred thousand dors because of this! Remember, don''t go near him when you see him again."


    A hint of disgust shed across Mango''s eyes.


    She really did not like how Lebanon handled certain issues.


    Rainie said with some concern, "What if we meet because of our job? You know, I am still a newbie


    now. I don''t have the power topete with Lebanon for resources."


    "Then, refuse the job. I''m sure you can debut even if you avoid Lebanon!"


    Rainie nodded her head upon hearing Mango''s words.


    "Yes, I agree with you."


    "Let''s go! It''s time to eat something delicious!"


    Mango was not in a good mood, and she was nning to bring Rainie out to eat some good food.


    Rainie loved delicious food, so she had no reason to turn down such an invitation. However, she


    teased, "What about Nathaniel? Who''s going to apany him for dinner?"


    Mango was startled.


    She had not been gone back home today, so she did not know whether Nathaniel had left.


    Both Nathaniel and Mango did not know what their rtionship status was now. Mango did not want


    to think about it. On the other hand, Nathaniel did not send her any messages, so she guessed that


    Nathaniel had left.


    Mango thought to herself before saying, "Forget about him, let''s enjoy ourselves!"

    "Well, you finally don''t have to rely on him, but why do I feel so awkward?"


    Rainie sincerely hoped that Mango would live a good life, but she did not know how long the issue


    between Mango and Nathaniel wouldst. In fact, she felt worried for them.


    However, Mango smiled faintly, "I should also live for myself. Since he isn''t honest with me, why


    can''t I throw some tantrums?"


    "Argh! You guys aren''t even fighting! Or are you not angry with him anymore?"


    "How could I not be angry? My child is dead because of him! No matter why he decided to hide the


    truth from me, I cannot forgive him easily. I thought about it too, and I realised that I lost myself


    because I was always hiding behind him. In the end, when I wanted to know what happened, I


    suddenly found out that all the people around me were lying to me. He didn''t want me to know


    anything. Hence, I couldn''t find out the truth too. I felt ufortable with this. Even if I want to be


    with him in the future, I''ll have to be on par with him and not be someone who always needs


    his protection. When I lost my child, I suddenly felt like a caged bird. If one day, he lost his feelings


    for me, can I still survive after leaving him?"


    Mango''s words amazed Rainie.


    "Nathaniel loves you very much. You should know this."


    "I used to think so too. However, when I saw him going out with the woman and the lipstick stain on


    his shirt, I realised something. Even if he wasn''t cheating on me, and he had his own difficulties, I


    felt anxious when I learnt that he wanted to hide the truth from me! I dare not imagine how long our


    love for each other willst, you know? Perhaps it mayst a little longer because we have children,


    but who knows? If I still live innocently in the ivory tower that he has built for me, how can I face


    myself if we were to decide to go our separate ways?"


    Upon hearing Mango''s words, Rainie waspletely shocked.


    In the past, she absolutely did not believe that these words woulde out from Mango''s mouth.


    Rainie had witnessed the rtionship between Mango and Nathaniel more than anyone else. Thus,


    when Mango said that their feelings could fade away, Rainie felt as if she was joking.


    "You guys have stuck together through thick and thin. After all, you can''t find someone who loves


    you as much as he does easily, right?"


    Mango shrugged her shoulders and said softly, "Yes, we had gone through ups and downs together.


    But that''s because we are still deeply in love with each other. What about 10 yearster? He may


    choose not to divorce me because he feels responsible. Perhaps he won''t abandon me, but our


    love will never rekindle again. I don''t want him to be indifferent or tired after ten years as that


    life would be terrible! I''d rather live a bitter life now while finding my true self without being sheltered


    by him. After all, I only want to stand side by side with him. When we go outside, I was to be


    recognised as Mango Shen and not Mrs. Ye. I... I hope that I can be his equal."


    Rainie could see a lot the mixed emotions in Mango''s eyes.


    "Mango, you''ve changed."


    "Everyone will change. However, I know that my feelings for him have not changed. After all these


    incidents, I thought I would let go, but I still can''t do that. It''s probably also because I know that he


    did not cheat on me, but he hid something from me. I am sure that I''ll make a name in the


    entertainment industry, otherwise, I would feel like I''ve wasted too much of my time!"


    Mango patted Rainie''s shoulder and said with a smile, "Let''s go eat now. After we finish our meals,


    well go back to the team and practice again. I don''t think you performed thest section of your


    section song quite well just now."


    Rainie''s became upset immediately after hearing this.


    "Are you kidding me? Why are you stricter than Ares? Urgh! Why do you even want to continue


    after our meal? Come on, my voice is hoarse already!"


    "As a man sows, so he shall reap. You want to be popr, don''t you? Think about Thomas, your


    dad and your brother. Why should you continue toze around?"


    Mango''s words left Rainie speechless.


    "Well, you''re right. Let''s eat quickly. Well continue to work hard after eating."


    "That''s my girl!"


    Mango smiled and held Rainie''s arm. They went to a nearby small restaurant together.


    They ordered two dishes and two bowls of ramen, and they were satisfied with the meal.


    "To be honest, I find it hard to believe that you can still eat this cheap food."


    However, Mango smiled, "What''s the matter? These dishes are all edible, right?"


    "That''s different. After all, you are Mrs. Ye!"


    "When I was abroad, even a bowl of beef noodles was a luxury for me."


    Mango recalled when she was abroad five years ago.


    Rainie quickly said, "Don''t think about it, it''s all over now."


    "Well, you''re right. By the way, how''s the investigation going?"


    Rainie sighed, "s! I only know some people who live on the streets, but I''m trying to find


    someone that will remain neutral. There is no news yet, so you might have to wait for a while. I


    heard that the police is investigating this issue soon, so I think we''ll get some news soon. However,


    it''s strange because someone seems to be blocking the news. So, we''ve heard nothing for now. In


    fact, I couldn''t get any information from a friend who works in the police stations!"


    Mango''s eyes narrowed slightly after hearing Rainie''s words.


    Was Nathaniel doing this?


    She did not know who else had the ability to suppress this matter other than him.


    Who exactly was the woman?


    Mango''s curiosity towards the woman''s identity grew more.


    "Check it again. There must be some clues."


    "Well, you offended Lebanon thoroughly today, so I don''t know if he will go against us in the future.


    You should be careful. I''ll be fine because I''m alone and I can change my identity anytime. But since


    you''ve established yourpany, you have to think about your employees too as you''re not


    working alone now."


    Rainie was a little worried for Mango.


    Mango waved her hand and did not pay much attention to it.


    Both of them left the restaurant after they had finished eating. As the restaurant was near Polygon


    Spartial Building, they decided to walk back there so that they could digest their food as well.


    There was a small alley between the restaurant and Polygon Spartial Building. No cars could get in


    there, so they could save some energy by taking that route.


    Mango and Rainie decided to go into the alley. However, neither of them expected that something


    would happen here.
