The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)
Chapter 1133

It was the president's office of Angolla!

Nathaniel frowned tightly.

He entered the Trojan subconsciously, it didn't take long for the other party to start the recovery. It was because of the recovering process, could Nathaniel finally take advantage of it.

"Lebanon, is it fun for you to ask someone to take pictures of me and Mango? If you want to know how we are, you can just ask us directly."

Nathaniel directly turned on the chat software and talked to the other side.

Lebanon was amazed for a moment, but he was also secretly frightened.

He had investigated before and knew that Zion was a genius at computer science, so he tried his best to avoid him. However, he did not think that he would still end up in Nathaniel's hands. The apple never fell far from the tree.

At this point, there was no need for Lebanon to hide anything.

"You're amazing."

This was a heartfelt compliment.

"I've always been amazing."

Nathaniel was not very humble, but Lebanon could not find fault with what he said.

Lebanon chuckled, "I know the reporter will be discovered by you sooner or later."

"Yes, so you deliberately want to tell me how Bernard looks like, don't you?" "Yes, you're right."

Lebanon felt that there was no need to hide anything while talking to a smart person like Nathaniel. "Why didn't you just say it?"

This was Nathaniel's doubt. After all, Lebanon was the one who had been very concern of Mango.

Lebanon paused and said, "If I say I didn't want you to get involve in this mess, would you believe me?"

"No, I won't. If you really don't want us get into this matter, you should do nothing."

Nathaniel's words made Lebanon smile wryly.

"So, I'm still very selfish. No matter what I do, I do it for myself. Alfred was right, people like me are destined to be lonely for the rest of my life." Nathaniel did not interrupt Lebanon's lament.

It seemed that it was not important to identify Lebanon as a selfish man or not. He was born in the royal family, so he was doomed to be unable to live like a normal person. Nathaniel pondered for a moment and said, "Do you want to seize Bernard?"

"Yes, he's Lexis' think tank, many things that I want to do are blocked by him, I'm in an extremely passive position, which is why I wish to use you to eliminate him." Lebanon went straight to the point.

On the contrary, Nathaniel was somewhat relieved.

It was more comfortable that Lebanon acted like this.

"Mango said that she wanted to have a peaceful New Year."

"I don't think it will happen. I've received the latest news that Bernard is planning to attack Mango on the New Year's day."

Nathaniel's eyes sink upon hearing Lebanon's words, his aura went chilly too.

"Is he asking fortrouble?"

"Maybe, but Lexis will assist him, so I can't underestimate him. I'm under attack from both sides, so I really can't move my people to help you. You know, I used to not care about that position, but now I have been pushed to fight for it. To be honest, I don't like this feeling."

Nathaniel chuckled, "Since you have chosen it, just go ahead. Let me tell you a good news, maybe it's a motivation for you."

"Is there really any news that can consider good for me now?"

Lebanon smiled bitterly. The cigarette in his left hand had already burned his hand, but he was motionless as if he did not feel anything.

He still remembered that Alfred would remind him that his cigarette butt was almost burnt out. Now that he was gone, no one else would remind him, Lebanon did not even have a single confidant in his palace. It was pathetic for a person to live like this, but unfortunately, he had to go on.

Lebanon had no idea why he, himself was still alive.

He just knew that if he did not fight for it, what was waiting for him was only death.

Sometimes, he really felt sorrowful and he would rather be a commoner than be born in a royal family, but it was not up to him.

Lebanon's mind was distracted, but Nathaniel did not notice it. After thinking for a moment, Nathaniel decided to sell Magnolia.

"I remember that you told us to visit your mother in Angolla."

Lebanon suddenly came to his senses and said wryly, "Don't come, Angolla is now in a mess, there will be a lot of dangers. Besides, Bernard and Lexis have been eyeing you. I'm afraid that I can't protect your safety if you come here. Although it's a bit sad to say this, I really don't have many relatives now, I don't want my only sister to die in Angolla with me."

Until now, Lebanon still thought that Mango was his biological sister. This showed how impactful Magnolia's words was before her fake death. Nathaniel suddenly sympathized Lebanon.

He suffered too much, he should not have lived such a hard life.

"Promise me one thing and I'll tell you a secret."

This piqued Lebanon's curiosity.

"What are you trying to tell me? I don't want to know too many things now."

"Well... No matter what I told you, you won't get excited. You can't let Mango know that I told you this, promise? If you can, I'll tell you. If you can't, then forget it. This secret is nothing to me and Mango." Nathaniel really knew how to pique a person's curiosity.

Lebanon's heart had not been moved for a long time, but at this moment, he was eager to know what this secret was. He even had a strong feeling that this secret was related to him.

After contemplating, Lebanon said in a deep voice, "Sure, I promise you."

"Remember to keep your promises, I'll give you a second to think about it."

"Stop playing around, just tell me."

Lebanon's voice carried a tinge of cheerfulness.

After chatting with Nathaniel, he finally felt that he was still alive.

This cold and oppressive palace was like a Behemoth, torturing him and making him feel the fear and loneliness.

Nathaniel stopped teasing him and whispered, "You and Mango aren't biological siblings. To be exact, you're her cousin."

"What?"

Lebanon was a little surprised.

Nathaniel told her about Magnolia and Queena.

This time, Lebanon was completely dumbfounded.

He did not speak for a long time, and this made Nathaniel think that he was not on the phone.

"Lebanon, are you still here?"

"Is this true? My mother and Mango's mother are twins?"

"Yes, and you've got a grandfather. He misses your mother very much all the time. If he knows that you're here, he'll be on cloud nine."

Lebanon wavered upon hearing Nathaniel's secrets.

He had a grandfather...

His relatives were still alive.

That was too good to be true!

Lebanon's eyes was suddenly wet with tears.

Nathaniel did not know what Lebanon was thinking, but he still asked.

"Are you coming back to see him?"

"No."

Lebanon refused directly.

He said, "In this special time, everyone was waiting to hunt me down in the dark. Many people want me to die. I don't want to break my grandfather's peaceful life because of me. I'm very happy to know that I still have a family. Thank you, Nathaniel, thanks for telling me this."

"You thanked me, just like that? If I tell you that your mother, Magnolia is still alive, will you fall in

love with me?"

Nathaniel rarely joked with Lebanon.

Lebanon suddenly stood up from his chair and said emotionally, "Nathaniel, don't joke with me, I can't afford this kind of joke now."

"I'll send you a photo."

Nathaniel took out a photo of Magnolia and Mango meeting each other on his phone. If Mango was here, she would definitely be shocked. After all, Nathaniel was not by her side when she met Magnolia. So, how could he have a photo of them meeting each other?

Looking at the photo, Lebanon was completely dumbfounded.

Mother!

She had always lived in his childhood memories. He only remembered that his mother had always been depressed, and every time she was with his father, she would be very resistant.

Lebanon's father was not gentle to his mother, but he still had feelings for her. After his mother passed away, his father found a wet nurse to take care of Lebanon. If the others had not seen how his father was doting on him, maybe he would not have left Angolla in a young age.

He always thought that his mother had passed away, but he did not expect that she was still

alive.

Since she was not dead, why didn't she come to him?

Since she was still alive, why didn't she tell him about her existence?

Lebanon was on the verge of being collapsed.

Nathaniel naturally knew how Lebanon was feeling right now. He said in a deep voice, "You gave me a photo at Bernard. And now I'm returning a gift to you. Lebanon, there's only one bottom line for me. As long as you don't hurt and use Mango and treat her well, I'll treat you as my family, I'll support you no matter what."

Nathaniel was holding out an olive branch to Lebanon.

Lebanon naturally understood his meaning.

He gestured to swear, even though he knew that Nathaniel could not see it, he took an oath, "Today, I, Lebanon, swear that if I use or plot against Mango in my life, I will never have a good end and I will be destroyed and betrayed by my family. Lastly, I will forever be alone."

This oath could also be considered as the most punitive measure against Lebanon.

Nathaniel believed him for the time being.

"All right, I'll talk to you about Magnolia later. I don't know where they're now, so don't worry about it. But I think if your life is threatened, she'll show up somehow, it's not the right time for her to appear in front o the public now, so don't be upset. It's good news after all, isn't it?"

Hearing Nathaniel's words, Lebanon felt much better.

"Yes, thank you."

Lebanon sincerely thanked him.

Nathaniel smiled and hung up the phone.

Lebanon was sitting alone on a chair, thoughts were running through his mind.

He was bombarded with too much information today until he could not accept and digest for a while.

Mom was still alive!

She was alive!

This piece of news came as a complete surprise to him.

He could not help but recall what happened in his palace when he was still a child.

When he was a child, he fell into the water and when was about to drown, there seemed to be a gentle woman who lifted him up from the bottom of the water. After waking up, he asked his father who saved him, but his father said it was a maid.

Then, the wet nurse began to force him to learn how to swim. No matter how helplessly he cried, the wet nurse was unmoved.

There were many similar things. He had not thought much about it before, but now that he recalled it, it was very likely that his mother was always by his side, paying attention to his every move. Lebanon's lips curled up slightly, and his mood improved, he suddenly found that this year was a little different.
