The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)
Chapter 1359

"Mango, are you still there?"

Magnolia didn't hear Mango's reply. She thought that the signal was not good, so she hurriedly asked.

"Oh, I'm here."

Mango immediately regained her senses and replied, "Auntie, who is Tristan? Is he someone that we can trust? I heard that Laborn is trying to get Tristan on his side too."

"He controls all of the Acker family's business, and now he has expanded his business overseas as well. Hence, he's extremely rich! Laborn didn't manage to obtain any of the mines, and the international treasury is running out of money. Hence, he hopes that someone can replenish his funds. Thus, right now, Tristan is probably the person that can help him out the most. But, you shouldn't worry about this because Tristan will take care of this problem."

After hearing Magnolia's words, Mango asked once again, "What business does he do?"

"He trades medicine, medical equipment, medicinal products. Furthermore, he's also studying how to treat cancer and some other complicated diseases. Nowadays, people are afraid of dying, and the rich even hope to live long lives, so he's making a lot of money from this industry. However, Tristan is someone that shouldn't be underestimated as well. He's a professor in medicine, and he's also studying various medical fields, so he's a rare genius indeed!"

Well, Mango had rarely heard Magnolia speak so highly of someone. Hence, Mango found Magnolia's words hards to believe because the latter was praising Tristan a bit too much.

"Aunt, have you seen it with your own eyes? Perhaps Tristan only keeps people who praise him around his side!"

"Nah, that's impossible."

After hearing Magnolia's determined answer, Mango didn't want to say anything else. However, she became more curious about who Tristan actually was.

"Well, I'll hang up and go to visit Lebanon then."

"Okay. If something happens to him, ask him to visit Tristan."

After hearing this, Mango nodded and hung up the phone.

At that moment, Prisca had returned. When she saw that Mango was deep in thought, she immediately whispered, "Are you worried about Lebanon?" "Yeah, I am."

Mango knew that Prisca was on Lebanon's side, so she did not hide the truth from her.

"Let's go to Lebanon's palace together and visit him then."

"Nah, I'll go there myself. You should stay here. After all, if Laborn's subordinates come here, you wouldn't be able to explain your actions."

Mango recalled that Laborn had suddenly sent over someone to find over where Priscilla was. Hence, what would happen if Laborn decided to take action again?

On the other hand, Prisca never thought about this, Thus, when she heard Mango's words, she couldn't help but nod her head in agreement.

"Okay, you should be careful then."

"All right."

After saying that, Mango left through the secret passageway and arrived at the Lebanon Palace. Meanwhile, Lebanon was about to go out and look for them. Thus, he was worried when he saw Mango. He pulled Mango in and asked his subordinate to go out to watch over this place. Then, he asked softly, "Are you alright?" "I'm fine."

"Where is he?"

Lebanon was referring to Nathaniel when he asked this question.

Then, he sighed in relief when he heard Mango saying that Nathaniel was fine.

"Alas! I don't know what's wrong with my father. He never blamed me for anything, but he came to see me today. If you were here, you might have met him. Urgh! It was too dangerous."

At the thought of this, Lebanon broke out in cold sweat.

However, Mango was not in the mood to talk about this. Instead, she quickly asked, "Lebanon, is your body alright?"

"I feel just find, what's wrong?"

Then, Mango told him what happened to Henry.

After hearing this, Lebanon's face turned pale.

"Urgh! Bernard! He's such a b*stard!"

Lebanon was so angry that he wanted to kill Bernard immediately, but this was not the right time to do so.

After that, Mango said with a concerned expression, "Don't you understand? I'm worried about you! If he could poison Henry, he could probably poison you as well. Furthermore, I've already confirmed that Aun Magnolia must have been poisoned as well. However, the results aren't out yet, so I'm here to tell you about this."

On the other hand, Lebanon was not worried about losing his life.

He whispered, "Even if I'm poisoned, it's impossible to find a doctor now. Mango, this is the palace, and there are too many people in it. So, you will never know who's on your side. Once you've seen a doctor, everyone in the palace could probably find out that I've been poisoned! If my father decides to imprison me by saying that he's trying to cure my illness, I can't do anything about it! Do you understand?" After hearing this, Mango looked at Lebanon's dejected expression and couldn't help but feel a little sad.

Well, Lebanon was tired of his life, right?

Perhaps he had been tired of living since Alfre had died. However, he had managed to stay alive till today because of the hatred that he had. Alas! If he knew that Magnolia was the one who plotted Alfred's death, could he bear the truth?

Mango did not know the answer to this question, but she didn't dare to tell Lebanon the truth as well.

Then, she whispered, "Perhaps there is another way. Aunty told me that you can go to find Tristan because he is her subordinate."

"Huh? Are you talking about Tristan Acker?"

Lebanon was stunned for a moment before he looked at Mango in disbelief.

"Did my mother really say that?"

"Yeah, that's right."

"Huh? Did you manage to get in touch with my mother?"

After all, Angolla was under a lockdown, so now one could contact people from overseas. Thus, they could only get in touch with the rest of the world using their exclusive communication lines. Therefore, Lebanon was a little surprised when he heard that Mango could get in touch with Magnolia.

However, Mango whispered in reply, "Nah, Nathan did it. He managed to hack through the communications systems and find a way to call someone outside Angolla. However, we can spend too long on the phone, and we can only make one call every day."

"I see. What else did my mom say?"

Lebanon had always wanted to get in touch with Magnolia, but he could reach out to her. Hence, sow that he had heard about how Magnolia was doing, he couldn't help but ask about her. Meanwhile, Mango shook her head and replied, "She didn't say anything else. However, this means that Tristan is someone we can trust, so you should use him without worrying too much."

"Hmm... Tristan Acker, huh?"

Lebanon read this name and frowned slightly. No one could guess what his thoughts her.

After all, Prisca had talked about Tristan as well. Lebanon didn't understand why such a genius like Tristan would have helped him in the past, but he understood why now.

This was because Tristan and his mother had a relationship!

He was Magnolia's subordinate, which was why he had helped Lebanon because of Magnolia.

Alas! Fate worked in many mysterious ways.

Once Lebanon had figured this out, he felt more relieved.

"Oh, right, he's also been invited to the banquet tomorrow, so maybe I should get him to check-up on me. Then, we can think about what to do after he confirms that someone has poisoned me." When Mango heard that Lebanon still had some will to leave, she finally let out a sigh of relief.

"All right."

"Also, both you and Nathaniel should be careful. Dangers are lurking everywhere here, and you should watch out for Bernard too! We don't know what that b*stard will do next! What if he targets both of you instead? So, you all should be careful."

Lebanon gnashed his teeth in hatred when he mentioned Bernard.

After all, Laborn wanted him to work together with Bernard in peace. Hah! How was this possible?

There was a bloody feud between him and Bernard, and both of them couldn't ignore this fact. Hence, they could only fight to the death.

On the other hand, Mango nodded and said softly, "You should be careful too. We can't get in touch with you too much here, so you should look for us more if anything happens."

"All right."

At this moment, Lebanon could truly feel how worried and concerned Mango was.

In the past, no one else had been so concerned about him except for Alfred. However, he had Mango now.

After all, to him, Mango was his sister, and they were related by blood. Hence, Lebanon could even give up his life for her!

This was his personality. He could protect his loved ones, even if he had to give out his life. On the other hand, he would never forget about the people that had ruined his life as well. "Then, I'll go first because I'm afraid Nathan will be worried about me. Lebanon, remember to get Tristan to check up on you tomorrow."

"Got it."

After saying that, Lebanon finally let out a relieved and bright smile on his face.

When Mango saw his smile, she suddenly remembered the doctor she had met just now.

Both Lebanon and the man looked similar when they were laughing, but they had different facial featured.

When Mango realised what she was thinking about, she became speechless.

After all, if Nathaniel knew that she was thinking about another man, he would be furious!

Thus, the corners of her lips couldn't help but lift into a smile when she thought about Nathaniel's jealous face.

"Well then, Lebanon, I'm leaving first. See you later."

After saying that, Mango quickly left Lebanon's palace and walked towards where Nathaniel was hurriedly as she wanted to see him.

Alas! Nathaniel was probably extremely worried about her!

At this thought, Mango quickly sped up as well.

When she returned to Priscilla's palace, Laborn had already left. Meanwhile, Priscilla was drinking alone with mixed emotions on her face. Right now, she felt unhappy and depressed.

On the other hand, Mango had wanted to meet Nathaniel first. However, when Priscilla saw her, she immediately stopped her.

"Mango, you're here! Come and drink with me."

"Nah, I'm in a hurry because I want to see your boss."

When Mango finished speaking, Priscilla said in a low voice, "Today is my mother's death anniversary. However, he didn't mention a single word about my mother when he came to me. I thought he came here for my mother, but I didn't expect him to do it for an unknown subordinate. Hah! In his eyes, everyone is more important than my mother. What happened to my mother was a tragedy, but if Laborn didn't like my mother, why did he r*pe her? Urgh! Why did he have to give birth to me?"

Priscilla was truly upset when she brought this up.

After all, she had never told anyone about this for so many years, not even Nathaniel.

She had always pretended not to care and kept telling herself that she was an orphan. After all, she would not be disappointed if she didn't expect anything from others. However, she started to have hope when Laborn had come to visit her during her mother's death anniversary.

However, Laborn didn't say a word till the end. He didn't even remember who her mother was!

Therefore, Priscilla found this situation ironic and laughable.

How could a b*stard like Laborn still be alive?

Why did he think that he still had the right to rule over everyone?

If it weren't for him, her mother could have married a commoner. Then, she could've had a child and lived the rest of her life happily, However, her mother had died at a young age because of him! Furthermore,

no one knew the reason behind her mother's death, and everyone started to forget about her after her death as well.

On the other hand, Mango wanted to leave, but she couldn't bear to do so.

After all, she couldn't leave when she saw how depressed Priscilla was.

Thus, she returned to sit next to Priscilla and patted the latter's shoulder before saying, "Hey, this depressed look doesn't suit you at all?"

"Hah! How do you think I should act then?"

Priscilla gave a self-deprecating smile as she mocked herself.

Then, Mango replied softly, "I think you look better when you're confident."

Priscilla was momentarily stunned when she heard Mango's replied.

After all, she never expected to hear Mango praising her this way. Thus, she couldn't help but say softly, "Hey! Don't think that I won't try to steal your husband away just because you're trying to get on my good

side!"

"Well, you'll have to win him over first."

When Priscilla heard Mango's shameless answer, she became speechless."

"Urgh! You can get out now."

"Alright. Well, then, Princess, please take care. I'll go see my husband first."

After saying that, Mango left the room as Priscilla had a dumfounded expression on her face.

Urgh! Mango didn't hesitate to show off what she had at all!

At this moment, Mango didn't care what Priscilla thought. She couldn't wait to see Nathaniel, but when she got near the bedroom, she heard a whimpering sound coming out from his. Thus, she became upset immediately.
