The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)
Chapter 1222

A surprised look appeared on Aria's face, and Michael was angered when he noticed that.

"What? Do you still think that your boyfriend will come to save you? Heh! You should stop dreaming! If he really loved you, he wouldn't have allowed you to enter my territory." Michael's ruthless words shattered Aria's hope.

Well, Michael's words seemed to have hurt her. She pursed her lips and glared at Michael with hatred. Right now, she wished that she could tear him into pieces with her gaze. Michael's heart ached when he saw how angry and sad she was.

After all, Aria's face was similar to Valentina's!

How could he say such merciless words to Valentina's face? He even did such a cruel thing to her!

He even went so far as to take an advantage of her!

This was really ridiculous!

That used to be the last thing that he would do, but now he did it. Not only did he do it, but he also did it to someone with a face like Valentina. Thus, he felt like he really took advantage of Valentina.

Michael felt irritated when he thought of this. He then slammed the door and walked out.

It was not until Michael left the room that Aria could finally relieve.

She held her shoulders and felt pain all over her body, especially in her private area.

This b*stard!

He had ruined her!

She would definitely kill him!

That was right!

Aria swore secretly.

Meanwhile, Michael headed outside, and his men handed him the phone.

Instead of answering the phone in a hurry, he took the phone into the study room and answered coldly, "I have to say, it's really bold of you to send your woman to my bed."

The man at the other end of the line suck in a deep breath when he heard what Michael had said.

"Michael, she won't sleep with you. The man she loves is me!"

"So what? That's not important to me. Moreover, she looks so much like Valentina, so why should I give her back to you? Besides, isn't that why you

sent her to me?"

Michael didn't care that anyone else knew what he was thinking.

Everyone knew his feelings for Valentina, and anyone would know this when they looked him up. Now, someone even found and sent him a replacement, wasn't that great? Michael sneered, and there was no warmth in his eyes. He looked like a demon from hell and, and he no longer had any emotions like other people.

The person on the other line was silent for a while. Perhaps he was suppressing his emotions, or maybe he was thinking about how to talk to someone like Michael. "What? Are you trying to use a woman to seduce me? Or are you trying to recruit me?"

That person was taken back by Michael's words once again.

Ilrgh! Micheal was indeed difficult to deal with.

"Michael Dean, if I tell you that Aria is related to Valentina by blood, will you think about being kinder to her?"

Michael paused when he heard what the other said.

Aria's face was natural, so he always thought that how could two people in the world look so alike?

But their last names were Van and Brass, so how could they be related by blood?

However, Michael didn't say anything as he was waiting.

After all, he was waiting for the man to explain this situation.

At that time, if he showed any nervousness and interest, that basically meant he had already lost.

But, the person on the other line was also waiting for Michael to ask about this. After all, everyone knew how much he loved Valentina.

Since Valentina died, Michael had gone completely crazy. He turned himself into a demon, and he was emotionless and cold. Hence, people trembled with fear as soon as they heard the name Comrade Eagle His only weakness was Valentina, so he would also care about those who had blood relations with her, right?

That was what the person on the other side thought.

Thus, their conversation ended up in a stalemate.

That was a game to see who was more patient.

Obviously, Michael was slightly better at this.

When the other man didn't hear Michael asking anything, he couldn't wait anymore and ask, "Didn't you hear what I said?" "I heard that, but so what? Even if Aria is Valentina's younger sister, she is still not her If you can bring Valentina back, maybe I can consider your offer. After all, I have given up my principles for her, so is there anything I can't give up? So, can you send her back to me? I want to see Valentina alive!"

The other party paused when he heard Michael's words.

What? Did Michael want him to bring her back to life?

How was that possible?

Moreover, Valentina had been dead for so many years and had already turned into ashes. Where could he go or what could he do to bring her back to him?

Michael knew that too, so he then sneered and said, "So, you'd better stop playing with me. I don't know who you are, and I don't know why you sent Aria here, but I want to tell you that I'll take this woman. She became my woman not long ago. I don't love her, but I'll spare her life because her face is similar to Valentina's. Goodbye, Aria's fiance."

Michael hung up the phone after that.

Suddenly, his heart began to ache. The pain was numbing at first, and then it gradually spread to his limbs and bones. In the end, he nearly convulsed because of the pain.

After that, Michael panted heavily as he laid on the desk. He felt as if someone was choking him, so he couldn't breathe well.

Was she Valentina's family?

Nine years ago, he did not stay by Valentina's side when she needed him. Even when she died, he could not even keep her whole body. After nine years, he still took advantage of her family? He was a jerk, wasn't he?

That was right!

He was a b*stard!

If he was not a jerk, why couldn't he protect his own woman?

Right, he was a b*stard, so he took advantage of another woman too!

So, why was he living in this world?

He had killed people for days and months, so his heart had hardened. Thus, it didn't matter if he died like that.

Hence, he was no longer the same person he used to be.

When Valentina died that day, he died with her too. Now he was just a weapon that lived to repay

Nathaniel's kindness, and a weapon to help and serve Nathaniel.

How could a weapon have feelings?

So why would his heart sill ache? How could he still feel upset? Also, why did he think of himself as a jerk?

Of course, Aria deserved to die.

However, Michael had nothing to do with her, so why did she want to kill him just for her so-called fiance?

Well, it didn't matter whether Aria could kill Michael or not. In fact, Michael wouldn't think of her as someone innocent because she wanted to kill someone for a man.

Thus, he felt that he was kind enough as he was merely imprisoning a person who wanted to kill him.

But, Aria didn't know how to be grateful.

She had injured five of his men in a row!

Those people she had hurt were the comrades that he had fought with all those years, and they were his best friends too.

Thus, five of his brothers had suffered because of the 'kindness' that he had shown towards here. All this had happened because he had merely imprisoned her without killing her! Now, one of his comrades was still in danger!

Hence, Michael thought that he had gone easy on Aria by taking advantage of her. Otherwise, how could he face his men?

But even if he was telling himself that he didn't do anything wrong, why did he feel upset and suffocated?

Of course, he was not kind, so he could never be a good person to anyone else.

Therefore, the best way for him was to solve this problem was to throw Aria out. Hence, other people could witness the consequences of hurting him with their own eyes!

This would show everyone that Michael was a cold-blooded b*stard and a murderer.

No matter who his enemies were, he would kill them all. As long as they were people who threatened Nathaniel's life, they would all die in his hands.

That was what he lived for, wasn't it?

What did Aria's relative have to do with him?

After all, Valentina, his lover, would never come back.

She had turned into ashes, and all his feelings for her had disappeared along with her too.

Well, Michael hadn't felt heartache in a long time.

The pain made him sweat like crazy, and his face turned very pale.

Thus, he laid on the table for quite a long time before he got up and walked out.

The sky outside was beautiful, and the sun was shining brightly, but it did not warm his heart.

His heart had turn ice-cold, and no one could melt it anymore.

After that, Michael walked towards Aria's room, but he met a subordinate on his way.

"Boss, Zeck is gone, he couldn't make it through. Argh!"

The man couldn't control his emotions and broke down.

Michael's body stiffened, and he clenched his fist tightly.

Zeck, one of the men who was injured by Aria, had been in the emergency room for a long time.

Zeck was the first man Michael had recruited after he retired from the military. In fact, Zeck was a good partner who had backed him up and protected him countless times over the years.

He still remembered that Zeck told him that he was getting married in a few days. He said that he had found a girlfriend, who was an ordinary girl. Therefore, he told Michael that he wanted to go back to the logistics department and work as a warehouse keeper or something after getting married. Furthermore, he said he just wanted to live a peaceful life.

What did Michael say to him at that time?

He had replied, "Wow dude, look at you, you're getting married soon! Don't worry, even if you go to the warehouse to be a normal guard, I will still treat you the same."

They were just talking about this a few days ago, but why was he dead now?

At this thought, Michael's heart ached for him.

Thus, he knew that he couldn't solve this issue by showing Aria some kindness.

Even if he had already taught that hateful woman a lesson, that would not bring back his comrade's life.

At that moment, Michael's eyes dripped with spite.

After that, all of his men walked up towards him while staring at him. Although they did not speak, there was anger and oppression in their eyes.

Michael understood their intentions immediately, but he felt as if his throat was being strangled, and he couldn't utter a single word.

After a few minutes, he spoke, "Give me a day. Tomorrow, I'll make sure she dies with Zeck."

Michael didn't know how he had managed to say that. He only knew that he had to do that. Otherwise, he would be letting his comrades down.

After all, how had Baxter Alliance become an international organization so quickly over the years?

It was because of everyone's great effort and unity!

After all, Aria was a spy that the enemy had sent. Even if she was really his woman, the moment she killed Zeck, it meant that she had to die too.

At this thought, Michael walked towards Aria's room again. But at that moment, he felt that his steps were heavy as if something was weighing down at his feet.
