The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)

Chapter 2001

"I'm fine. It's nothing serious. By the way, why don’t you sleep a little longer?"

Knowing that Esmeralda wasn't a child of the Laurent family, Zion's attitude towards her became much more friendly. Moreover, this girl had almost been raped. She would need a long time to recover from this matter.

Esmeralda did not expect Klaus to care about her and was momentarily flattered.

"Klaus, I'm fine. You don't have to be so nice to me. I'm not a child of the Laurent family."

Esmeralda still could not accept her real identity.

Amor liked her so much, and her mother had never said that she was not a child of the Laurent family. Why had things become like this?

Zion could feel Esmeralda's upset. He sighed and said, "Whether or not it's up to me to decide. Besides, I'm in charge of the Laurent family's matters. If I say you're a child of the Laurent family, then you are. It doesn't matter what others say."

As soon as she heard that, Esmeralda burst into tears.

"Klaus, I'm sorry. I even schemed against you before. You can beat me in return."

Seeing her like this, Zion thought of Rita.

Zion did not know if Rita would be lonely or afraid now, or if she would encounter something like Esmeralda.

Jake's obsession with Rita was very deep. What if he took advantage of her weakness to do something to her?

The more Zion thought about it, the more uneasy he felt. Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.

No!

He had to find a time to ask Mylo if there was any way to send a person into the Fang Group, even if it was to protect Rita. This person had to be a woman with some skills.

Zion began to list out the female bodyguards he knew around him in his mind.

Esmeralda was stunned when she saw that Zion seemed to be distracted.

She gave Evangeline a helpless look.

Evangeline knew that Zion was thinking of Rita, but she quickly said, "Your brother was plotted against this time. He was poisoned and his brain has become slower. Don't mind it."

Esmeralda cried even harder when she heard that.

"Rafferty is indeed a good-for-nothing! I'll tell my mother later and let him have a taste of this too."

Esmeralda was upset that she failed to kill Rafferty. However, Evangeline was right. It was not worth spending the rest of her life in jail for such scum.

She believed that her mother had many ways to make Rafferty's life a living hell!

Zion finally came to his senses. Hearing Esmeralda and Evangeline's words, he couldn't help but say, "Leave that to me. You don't have to worry about it. Esmeralda, Evangeline has cooked you some porridge.

Go and have some."

"Oh, okay."

Esmeralda thought that she had disturbed them, so she ran out in a hurry. Her quicktempered character was still the same.

"Esmeralda is seriously injured this time. Ask Whale to do some psychological care for her."

"Okay."

Zion agreed and couldn't help saying, "What do you say if I find a female bodyguard to protect Rita? What if Jake also does something to Rita?"

"He won't. Anton is there too, isn't he? Mylo is there as well. Rita won't get into any trouble. Is this what you were thinking about just now?"

"Yes."

Zion nodded.

Looking at the burn on half of Zion's face, Evangeline felt a little distressed and said, "Can your face be cured?"

"Sure! It's just a piece of fake skin that looks real. My face has been fine for a long time."

"Really?"

"Of course. Why would I lie to you?"

Zion pulled Evangeline into his arms.

The two of them hugged for a while, and Zion looked a little tired.

Evangeline knew that the poison in his body had not yet been removed completely, so she let Zion rest.

When Amor received news of the eldest son of the Laurent family, he was stunned for a moment.

"Are you saying that Klaus didn't kill him?"

"No, he didn't. However, Esmeralda has castrated him."

When the butler heard the news, he shivered all over.

This was even more vicious than killing him!

What was the point of living if a man had lost his dignity?

Amor frowned hard. When he heard this, he didn't say anything for a long time. Finally, he sighed and said, "Klaus is too soft-hearted.

He will suffer a great loss in the future. Furthermore, he cared too much about that girl. Anne should be settled as soon as possible."

"Master, Klaus cares about Anne very much. If we hurt her, I'm afraid that Klaus will fight us to the death."

"Don't let him know then. There are a lot of people we can use. Why don't we use others to help us settle her?"

There wasn't the slightest bit of pity in Amor's eyes, as if everyone’s lives weren't worth mentioning at all.

The butler agreed and stopped talking about this matter. Instead, he asked softly, "The Laurent family is in quite a lot of trouble this time. If Klaus doesn't intend to take over the Laurent family, should we contact that person?"

"Don't do it for the time being. At present, the news is too tight. Once that person is involved, the Laurent family will be finished. If Klaus can solve that matter, let him do it. Don't contact that person unless we have no

other choice."

Amor's expression was very grave.

The old butler quickly nodded.

As for Rita, she rested for a night and felt much better. Moreover, she found that her body was also much lighter. It seemed that her body was recovering at an extremely fast speed.

This kind of strong feeling made her cherish it very much.

After all, she was so close to death that she thought she could even see Death's scythe, but she was dragged back of a sudden. The feeling of resurrection was precious.

She stretched out her fingers and looked at the sun passing through her fingers and falling on her face. She felt warm and very comfortable.

Rita couldn't help but raise the corner of her mouth, revealing a bright and brilliant smile.

Jake's eyes were dazzled by her smile.

Although he had always heard from that person how gentle and beautiful Rita was, and he had always fantasized about her, he had never expected that he would be so shocked when he saw her at this moment.

Rita was like an angel. Just a smile of hers could dispel all loneliness and coldness, making people feel warm and happy.

Jake slowly walked over. Although his steps were very light, Rita could still sense him.

She turned her head slightly and saw Jake's infatuated eyes. She couldn't help but frown slightly.

"Don't look at me like that. You're not him, and you will never be him!"

The smile on Rita’s face disappeared, and Jake felt a little depressed and uncomfortable when he saw the strangeness in her eyes.

"I look exactly the same as him. I am more capable than him, and I have courage too. I like you so much. Over the years, I have done my best. I can even say that I have done better than him. Why can’t you show me some kindness?"

"No matter how well you did it, you're still not him. There are some feelings that only he can make me feel it, but not you!"

Rita's direct words caused Jake's eyes to instantly became dark. Furthermore, there were faint signs of anger too. The surrounding servants trembled even more and immediately lowered their sense of existence. Only Rita stood there calmly. She looked at Jake, whose facial features were familiar, but not his character. The expression in her eyes was dark and unclear.
