The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)
Chapter 1382

"Tristan, can you help me? I mean, if you know how to perform this operation, could you help us with it?"

Mango said these words gently as she didn't know if Tristan would agree to her request. After all, she knew that no one would be rude to her if she was polite. As long as she asked him for a favor respectfully and sincerely, he should be willing to help her, right?

However, Nathaniel found this annoying.

Then, Tristan looked at Mango and then Nathaniel, who was standing behind them with a furious expression. Suddenly, he wanted to tease them, o he said, "Well, I can help them, but the probability of succeeding in this operation is a little low. However, I have completed a similar operation previously, so I don't think that she will suffer any side effects if I operate personally. However, I'm just a businessman, so I won't do anything if I don't get any benefits out of it."

"Look, I can give you money. Just tell me how much you need."

Mango said hurriedly.

However, Tristan shook his head and said, "I am not short of money. I know you all have heard that the Acker family is poorer now, but I can get money at any time. Let's do this instead. Why don't you spend one day with me, and I'll operate on her? What do you think?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Nathaniel was already pointing his fist at him.

"Hehl I think you're itching for a good beating."

Nathaniel gritted her teeth and spoke without mercy.

On the other hand, Mango was also stunned. After all, she never expected Tristan to make this request.

Didn't Tristan work for Nathaniel?

Also, wasn't he one of the soldiers that worked for Nathaniel?

How could he be so shameless?

Meanwhile, Denver also looked upset right now.

After all, he wanted to cure Anaya so she could speak. However, if Mango had to give up something in return, he would rather find another way to do so. Well, he felt terrible for Anaya too. However, he couldn't allow Tristan to overstep his boundaries.

On the other hand, Anaya was stunned as well.

Although she was still young, she could sense that Tristan didn't harbor any romantic feelings towards Mango at all. Therefore, why would he come up with this request? Right now, everyone had different emotions on their faces when they heard what Tristan had said. On the other hand, Nathaniel and Tristan had already started fighting.

Although Tristan's military rank was lower than Nathaniel's, he wanted to test Nathaniel's skills. Well, perhaps he had always wanted to do so because of his personal feelings towards Nathaniel or for some other reason. However, he didn't expect Nathaniel to attack him so fiercely, so he couldn't defend himself initially.

He had heard that Nathaniel had been doing business recently, so the latter hadn't recently worked in the military. However, but he didn't expect Nathaniel to be this powerful.

Suddenly, Nathaniel hit Tristan in the face as the latter wasn't paying any attention. It hurt tremendously, and he had wanted to fight back. However, he saw how worried Mango was for Nathaniel from the corner of his eye, so he stopped and begged for mercy while saying, "Alright, stop! I was just joking, so why did you hit me for real?"

"Huh? Were you joking just now? Nah, I think you're digging your own grave!"

Well, in fact, Nathaniel didn't care why Tristan was doing this. He wanted to kill Tristan just now, and the thing that agitated him the most was how Mango treated Nathaniel.

She was so kind to him!

Therefore, when Nathaniel thought about how Tristan had treated Mango previously, he felt jealous.

Tristan felt that if he continued to fight with Nathaniel, he would probably be so injured that he could only lie on the bed tonight. Therefore, under such desperate circumstances, he could only shout, "Nathaniel, stop! I am your brother-in-law! If you dare to hit you again, I'll ask Uncle Mateo and my father not to allow Mango to return to the Ye family again!"

After hearing what he had said, both Nathaniel and Mango were stunned.

"What did you say?"

Nathaniel was upset, but he still looked at Tritan. However, the latter didn't seem to be joking around at all.

Did Tristan just say Uncle Mateo, Uncle Terrance, and his father?

Well, Nathaniel knew who Uncle Mateo and Uncle Terrance were. However, who was Tristan's father?

Wait, was Tristan a member of the Hans family too?

On the other hand, Mango was also surprised. Hence, she also looked at Tristan with a puzzled expression.

Meanwhile, Tristan felt a little embarrassed. He coughed and said, "Ahem! My father is Terrance, and my mother is Magnolia. Do you understand what I'm trying to tell you?"

"What did you say?"

After hearing this, Mango was stunned.

"Are you Uncle Barack's child? How is that possible? You..."

"Nah, I'm one or two years older than you. What do you think?"

After that, Tristan told them about what had happened to Magnolia as they were his closest relatives. Well, to be fair, Denver was an outsider. However, when he saw how Mango had treated Denver just now, he felt that they were good friends, so he didn't hide the truth from Denver as well.

After all, he had long wanted to return to his family.

"When I was sixteen years old, I changed my nationality. My mother was afraid that Laborn would find out about my existence and use me to threaten her and my father back then. Therefore, she hid my existence and sent me to the Acker family. However, I've already known about my family, so I changed my nationality when I was sixteen. Furthermore, Uncle Mateo had always known about this, and he even recommended me to join the army. Besides, I've always wanted to reunite with my family and return to my country, so I hope that I can do so this time."

Mango was shocked when she heard what Tristan had said.

Well, she never expected Barack to have offspring!

After she had learned how Laborn had tortured Barack until the point where the latter had become a eunuch, Mango felt upset and pitied Barack greatly. However, she had found out that Barack had such an excellent son, so she was delighter.

"Wait... so are you my cousin?"

"Well, you can just think of me as your brother. Also, I heard what happened to Uncle Dennis, and I'm sure that the Hans family is proud of him too. I don't have siblings, and both of our uncles are not married. Therefore, we're the only two offspring in the Hans family, so you can think of me as your brother."

Tristan's eyes were gentle as he had said this. However, although he had revealed his identity,

Nathaniel still disliked him.

He directly stood in front of Mango and said with an upset tone, "Hah! How can I believe that you're my brother-in-law just from your words? I still need to go back and investigate this matter before we can confirm it!"

"Nah, there's no need for that. I've always felt that he was pretty familiar, and it felt that I'd met him somewhere before. However, now that I think about it, I probably found him familiar because he looked like Uncle Barack and Aunt Magnolia. Nathan, I think this is fate. Now, I have another brother that can take care of me, so shouldn't you be happy?"

Mango said these words as she was truly happy.

She initially hoped that her parents could be by her side, but she knew that this was merely wishful thinking. Therefore, she was overjoyed to find out that she still had a brother.

After hearing this, Nathaniel's face darkened. However, when he thought about what Mango had gone through, he decided to let it go.

Oh, well, forget it. It was fine now as this meant that more people would be pampering his wife. However, he was just worried that she wouldn't care about him even if he was her husband.

At this thought, Nathaniel was depressed, but he still decided to accept Tristan.

On the other hand, Mango could care less about what Nathaniel was feelings. Instead, she threw herself into Tristan's arms happily.

"Tristan! You're my cousin and my brother! I can't believe it!"

Suddenly, Mango felt delighted when she thought about how she had found another brother.

On the other hand, Tristan felt delighted when he heard Mango recognize him as her brother. Therefore, he thought that the pain on his face was worth it.

Then, he looked at Mango dotingly and said with a smile, "Well, I'm glad that I have a younger sister like you."

"Of course! When we go back to our country, I must ask Uncle Barack to throw a banquet so that everyone knows that you are the oldest son of the Hans family."

After hearing what Mango had said, Tristan was looking forward to it, but he still said softly, "Well, if I want to return to our country, I need to take care of Laborn and Atlas first. However, we can't meddle in their affairs as they belong to Angolla. Hence, we might create some international conflict if we do so. Therefore, what we can do now is start a civil war between them so that someone can take over the throne. Then, they can join forces with our country. Subsequently, Laborn was Atlas will have to go to court because of what they've done, and the Union Nations can also take care of them."

Right now, Nathaniel was thinking the same thing as well.

This was also why Nathaniel had made Laborn and Atlas fight among themselves.

On the other hand, Mango seemed to have understood something after hearing what Tristan had said.

"Wait, Tristan, are you trying to get Lebanon to take over the throne?"

Suddenly, Mango realized that both Tristan and Lebanon had the same mother.

"Why not? We can always rely on family."

"Huh? But he doesn't know you're his older brother."

After hearing what Nathaniel had said, Tristan immediately felt that his mood had been dampened.

"I'll find a time to tell him."

"Aren't you afraid that he won't accept it? After all, Aunt Mangoia has already arranged your life so that she could protect you at all costs. However, what about Lebanon? She had allowed him to grow on his own, and even though she had watched over him secretly too, he had gone through so much more than you. Also, Lebanon is emotional, so we never know how he will react once he learns this truth. Also, you are the head of the Acker family. However, you can change your identities anytime and live the life that you want. What about Lebanon? He's a prince, but he's busy working all day so that he can survive! Alas! He can't even lead a peaceful life! Besides, he never wanted to fight for the thrown, but he had been forced to do so for survival. Therefore, if you tell him that both of you have the same mother, so you are his elder brother, do you think that he can accept it?"

Nathaniel was always so sharp, so he asked this question bluntly.

After hearing what he had said, Mango immediately regained her senses, and Tristan had also become silent as well.

After all, he had never thought about that.

Suddenly, the atmosphere around them became awkward.

Then, Mango glanced at Anaya beside him and suddenly said, "Look, I'll think about how to tell this to Lebanon later. However, there's something I need your help with right now."

As he spoke, Mango pulled Anaya so that the latter was standing in front of Tristan.

"Look, Tristan, you're my brother, so please help her out once! She's still a child, so she can do many things in the future. It'll be a pity if she can't talk because of her vocal cords!"

Mango looked at Tristan pitifully as if she was the one who had caused the operation to fail.

Tristan sighed when he saw this. However, his heart softened as he looked at Mango's pleading gaze.

Suddenly, Nathaniel said at this time, "Well, if you want to do this operation, you have to do another similar one later. You can operate on her first, and then I can arrange for you to do another operation when we go back."

"Huh? Who do you think you are?"

Tristan suddenly felt a little depressed when he heard what Nathaniel had said.

After all, he was Nathaniel's brother-in-law? Hence, shouldn't Nathaniel respect him instead?

Well, he was doing this operation for Mango's sake. However, why was Nathaniel being so rude? Furthermore, he had just ordered Tristan to do another operation after they had returned back to their country!
