The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)
Chapter 1187

"Are you saying that someone poisoned my mom when she went to see you?"

At this thought, Mango was trembling with anger, and she could not wait to give Magnolia a piece of her mind.

However, Magnolia's tears started to flow uncontrollably.

"I'm... sorry, I'm really sorry!"

"Do you think that I will forgive you just because you're apologising? Hah! What do you take me for? You framed my mother, and she couldn't be with my dad because of what you did. I never knew who my biological parents were ever since I was born. Then, I finally found my mother after going through so many hardships! However, I learned that she had cancer and didn't have much time left. So, what makes you think that everything will be alright with just a word of apology? Magnolia Xiao, who the hell do you think you are? Do you think that you're special because you're my aunt?"

As Mango said this, she shoved Magnolia away in rage with her trembling hands. Right now, she wanted to choke Magnolia to death and throw her out of the window harshly! Meanwhile, Magnolia shuddered in pain as Mango accidentally hurt her bruises. However, she could not fight back.

"I know you hate me, and I also know that I owe my sister too much. But what can I do? I was destined to live a hard life since I was born! After all, I was forced to part with my parents after I was born for only a few hours. Do you know how I survived for so many years? No, you don't know. None of you does!"

Magnolia broke down in tears as she exclaimed.

"They threw me into the wild since I was young, and I had to fight against those ferocious beasts for my survival! Hence, I was forced to survive in such an awful environment. In fact, those animals almost bit me to death! UrghlYou have no idea how much I yearned for the care and love of my parents. However, my life was only full of despair! Finally, I managed to leave the forest, but they tossed me onto an isolated island, and I received training along with other children of my age. I originally thought that this would be a turning point in my life, but I was insanely wrong. It was a cruel competition where we had to kill one another because only the strongest survive!"

"Do you know how it feels to kill someone back then? I was only eight years old back then! What were you doing when you were eight? Heh, I'm sure that your parents were spoiling you, right? Can you imagine how it feels to kill someone at such a young age? When you were eighteen, I'm sure that you were wondering about love and waiting for your Prince Charming! But what about me? I was trained to be a professional killer. I sacrificed myself and my purity to complete my mission, but I didn't get any reward! So, I could only live like a zombie. If I failed to complete the task, they would torture me! Heh, I'm sure you can't imagine how cruel they were!"

"However, what else could I do? I tried resisting and running away, but I failed! I was helpless, and I was at the mercy of others. When I received a task and took the opportunity to get close to Barack, I found out that I had parents and a sister. However, my sister was the target of my next mission. Hence, I watched her living happily with my parents for so many years and fell in love with the man of her dreams. Do you realise how much I hated and envied her back then? Why did they kidnap me before of her? I know that this is a selfish thought, and I tried to fight these negative voices around me. However, I still have missions to carry out every day, so no one knew how painful I felt."

"Well, I wanted to confess my identity to her. In fact, I wanted to tell her that I was her older sister! However, someone soon found out about my plans. Do you know what I went through because of this? Someone held me up as they drowned me in water for hours! Argh! It was a tormenting experience. I struggled and suffered, and they whipped me and beat me up! I am a killer! Hence, I wasn't allowed to express my feelings or own my life. I had no freedom at all, and I couldn't control my thoughts! I wanted to live, and I only wanted basic human rights. Although those things mean nothing to you, that was something I desperately wanted. Do you understand?"

Magnolia choked as tears started streaming down her face.

Meanwhile, Mango was left speechless.

After all, she had never experienced such a life. Hence, she did not know what she would do if she was in Magnolia's shoes.

Suddenly, she felt as if all her curses were stuck in her throat, so she couldn't say anything.

Did she hate Magnolia?

She believed that she hated Magnolia a lot.

After all, her parents had become star- crossed lovers because of Magnolia!

However, did Mango pity her?

Yeah, of course, she did.

Thus, when she saw how emotional Magnolia was getting, she wanted to hold the latter in her arms and comfort her while saying, "It's okay, alright? You're home now, and you still have us." However, she could not bring herself to say those words.

After all, she had mixed feelings, so she didn't know how to face Magnolia anymore.

Thus, Mango turned around and left the ward.

Suddenly, she heard Magnolia sorrowful cries coming from the room the moment she left. She could sense a mix of emotions as Magnolia felt pressured, regretful and terrible. After all, Magnolia had felt suffocated as she never had the chance to express her emotions in the past.

She didn't know how long Magnolia had cried. However, the room suddenly became quiet. Perhaps Magnolia had cried herself to sleep, or maybe she had fainted because she was too upset.

On the other hand, Mango was afraid that something would happen to Magnolia Therefore, she quickly called the doctor over. After a thorough examination, the doctor reported that Magnolia had fainted. Mango thought for a moment and called Desmond.

Meanwhile, Desmond was doing well as his injuries were mild. Thus, he was a little surprised when he received Mango's call, but he didn't say anything.

"Hello, Madam."

"Get some of Dark Night Empire's men to come over to the hospital to guard Magnolia."

Desmond was slightly stunned when he heard Mango speaking in a weak tone.

"Madam, you dismissed me, remember?"

"You regained your post from the moment you attacked Victoria."

After saying that, Mango hung up the phone.

She was feeling upset, but there was nothing she could do to feel better.

Therefore, she walked alone along the corridor while recalling what Magnolia had said earlier. Then, she suddenly realised something.

Magnolia was a professional killer!

She was a powerful killer too!

If that was the case, does that mean that Magnolia's attacker was even more powerful?

No way!

After all, Magnolia had injured her chest. If she had been on guard, she wouldn't have allowed herself to suffer such a serious injury. Therefore, she must have recognised her attacker! This thought made Mango turn around abruptly. Then, she quickly returned to the ward, but there was no one inside.

Wait, Magnolia had disappeared!

Mango furrowed her brows when she saw this.

Was Magnolia trying to win over her trust just now?

Had she done this to deceive Mango so that she could run away?

Mango clenched her fists tightly, and a murderous glint flashed through her eyes.

F*ck! Magnolia Xiao!

How could you do this?

Mango had gone through so much, so how could she allow herself to be tricked by her relatives again? Was Magnolia trying to scheme against Mango?

At this thought, Mango turned around angrily and left, but she saw a drop of blood on the windowsill.

Thus, she frowned slightly and took out her cell phone to Desmond immediately.

"There's no need to send anyone over. Tell them to search the entire city and find the whereabouts of

Magnolia. Otherwise, you need to get ready to pay with your life!"

After saying that, Mango kicked away the vase next to her angrily.

Thus, the vase shattered into pieces with a crash, and the flowers flew across the room.

"D*mn it! Magnolia, you wicked woman!"

After saying that, Mango turned around and stormed off.

Just as she left, a figure appeared from behind the curtains. It was Magnolia, and she had a pale face right now.

Then, Magnolia looked in the direction in which Mango had left and smiled bitterly.

In the end, she decided to push away her closest relative!

Thus, she couldn't help but let out a bitter and helpless smile at this thought.

After that, she took a deep breath and staggered to stand up. Then, she opened the door and looked around before she went out.

Well, Mango's men had all gone out to chase after her, so this was the safest place to be right now.

After that, Magnolia went to the nurse's office and stole a nurse's uniform. Then, she put on a mask and walked out.

She looked around warily and took a quick turn to the back after she found nothing suspicious.

Just then, Mango walked out from the shadows and looked in the direction of Magnolia. Suddenly, a thoughtful look flashed across her eyes. Hence, Mango followed Magnolia quietly.

Well, Magnolia went out from the back door of the hospital and hopped onto a taxi.

Mango followed carefully behind and changed directions and routes so that Magnolia wouldn't discover her.

Soon, Magnolia arrived at the graveyard.

Mango frowned slightly when she saw this.

Wait, the graveyard?

What did Magnolia come here?

Meanwhile, Magnolia carefully scanned her surroundings before entering the place.

Mango knew that it was dangerous for her to follow Magnolia alone, but this was urgent. Hence, she needed to find out what Magnolia wanted to do. Suddenly, Magnolia walked up to a grave as tears streaming down her face.

Then, she knelt in front of the tombstone and hugged it while crying sadly.

Mango was standing far away, so she couldn't see who the tombstone belonged to. However, she teared up when she saw Magnolia acting this way.

Was Magnolia planning to cry here until all her tears had dried up?

At this thought, Mango waited patiently as she furrowed her brows.

Then, Magnolia wept for a moment and muttered some words. However, Mango couldn't make out what she was saying, but she could hear her cries.

After crying, she kowtowed three times to the tombstone before getting up to leave.

Mango quickly followed by and took a look. Then, she was stunned!

The photo on the gravestone was her grandmother!

Why was her grandma buried here?

After all, Mango never knew where her ancestors had buried her grandma after the latter's death. Furthermore, both Brantley and Queena had never brought this up. Hence, she would never have imagined that her grandmother would be buried in a private graveyard.

However, she recalled that when her grandmother died, she only had Sophia by her side! Sophia was dirt poor, so how could she have the money to bury her grandmother in a private cemetery?

Also, how did Magnolia know about this place?

So, Magnolia had come here to cry at her grandma's grave?

Mango was puzzled at this thought.

However, she watched as Magnolia's figure gradually disappeared. Then, she quickly paid her respect to her deceased grandmother before quickly following Magnolia from behind. Suddenly, she saw someone waiting for her at the exit.
