The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)
Chapter 1415

Zion had been keeping an eye on the changes in Angolla. Even if Nathaniel and Mango told him that there was no need for this, he still kept an eye on the fluctuations of their personnel. Thus, Zion was able to see through this slight change.

On the other hand, Nathaniel hadn't paid much attention to it at first, but when he heard Zion's words, he started to have an ominous feeling.

"What's his name?"

"Justin Fang."

The name that Zion mentioned piqued Nathaniel's interest immediately

"Justin Fang? That is indeed a name from the royal family. Hmm... this is interesting! Did Atlas Fang do this?"

"Mr. Ye, you're amazing! Atlas was indeed the one who registered the name as he told the public that it was the name of his adopted son. But isn't the person he has been taking care of all these years his uncle? Isn't his uncle's name Maverick Abbott? He's not Justin Fang either."

Nathaniel felt warmth and familiarity when he heard Zion calling him 'Mr. Ye'.

"Maybe that is his real son, and he is not an adopted one."

"How is that possible? I have received news that Bernard is already dead."

After hearing what Zion said, Nathaniel realized that the child had been keeping an eye on the movements in Angolla, so he had wanted to say a few words to Zion. However, he realised that Zion knew what exactly he was doing, so he said nothing else.

"I'll send someone to find out how Bernard's body was disposed of after he died. Don't follow up on this matter."

"Alright."

Meanwhile, Zion didn't insist but asked instead, "Mr. Ye, are you and Mommy back? When are you coming to pick us up?"

Nathaniel paused for a moment after hearing this question. Then, he recalled how Mango ignored him and thought that the children could help his situation. So, he couldn't help but say, "We are indeed back in Ocean City, but your mommy is mad at me. I can't seem to make up with her, and now I'm seriously injured, so I hope that you guys can come back and help me."

"Huh? Did you get seriously injured again? How could you be so weak, Mr. Ye? Why do you always get badly wounded when you go on missions? Don't you know that mommy is very worried about you?" Zion's reprimands crushed Nathaniel's spirits even more.

After all, Zion was his real son!

"Zion Ye!"

Nathaniel shouted Zion's name word by word with an unhappy expression.

Meanwhile, Zion stopped provoking him and said hurriedly, "Alright, alright. I will say no more. Send someone to pick us up tomorrow."

"Let Michael send you guys back. If my guess is correct, the other party might target you guys instead since they couldn't lay their hands on your mom again. So, let's wait a day, alright? You can take action once my men find out how Bernard's body was disposed of."

Well, Nathaniel was still a little worried about this.

If the children were at the headquarters of the Baxter Alliance, the other party wouldn't dare to go in and harm them openly, would they?

On the other hand, Zion had initially wanted to reject this idea, but when he thought of Rita and Wisdom, he agreed to it.

"Mr. Ye, do you want me to go and say hello to mommy and put in a few good words for you?"

"Well, thank you so much. Hurry up and do it."

After hanging up the phone, Nathaniel's lips curled into a smile.

That brat!

When he recalled what Zion had told him just now, Nathaniel had no choice but to quickly send someone to investigate Bernard's body.

Now that Nathaniel was not in Angolla now, he couldn't reach out to his subordinate there immediately. Moreover, he didn't know what had happened to Priscilla, so he was concerned about her. Just when he was at a loss, Priscilla sent him a message.

"Mr. Ye, Bernard didn't die! When I learned that Mango was attacked, I sent someone to investigate how they had taken care of Bernard's body when he died. In the end, I found out that Atlas only cremated the person and then threw the ashes into the sea without even setting up a headstone. At the same time, Atlas also put the name of an adopted son in his family register. I felt like this was too much of a coincidence, so I sent someone to investigate the people who had been around Bernard since he was a child. Then, we discovered that he had a guard with him since childhood. They lived and ate and did everything together, so both of them became more alive. Finally, for some unknown reason, the guard disappeared, and no one could find out his whereabouts. I suspect that the man might have altered his looks and became Bernard's substitute. He was always together with Bernard, so he should have the same demeanour and mannerisms as Bernard."

After hearing this news, Nathaniel learnt two important pieces of information.

First, Bernard could probably be alive.

Next, Bernard desperately wished to kill Mango to take his revenge because she had shot him herself.

Therefore, if he found any evidence to support his assumptions, the mastermind targeting Mango would definitely be Bernard!

At this thought, Nathaniel combed through the entire situation again. When he came to this conclusion, he wanted to unleash his fury.

How was Bernard so resilient? Urgh! He didn't die the first time!

However, since they had managed to kill him once, they were bound to succeed the second time. However, Nathaniel was still unclear about something. If Bernard was still alive, why would Atlas cooperate with them and partake in the power struggle against Laborn?

Then, Nathaniel thought about this incident again and understood what was going on. Alas! Atlas was using Bernard's death as a gambit to instigate his battle against Laborn. By returning Bernard to the Fang family, he was planning to take the country for his son.

Also, this meant that Atlas wanted to put Bernard onto the throne!

Once figured this out, Nathaniel could come up with his own plans.

"I need evidence. Now, give me all the information on the person who was always together with Bernard!"

"Alright."

Priscilla replied very quickly. Well, it seemed like Laborn didn't make things difficult for her.

"Are you alright?"

"I'm fine. It's just Atlas had been going against Laborn, and there were even five assassination attempts in a day. Heh! Since I have my force in the palace, Laborn promised me if I could ensure his safety, I would be only second to him in the whole of Angolla."

Priscilla sneered as she said this.

After all, this situation was so ridiculous as both of them were not close at all. In fact, she used to think that Laborn was not afraid of death, but it turned out that he also cherished his life.

On the other hand, Nathaniel knew Laborn's personality well. After all, he knew that Laborn needed Priscilla now. Hence, Laborn decided to forgive her despite her actions, and he had even pretended that nothing had ever happened. But once Laborn consolidated his power, the first person he would eliminate would be Priscilla.

"Keep an eye on him. I don't think we can trust what Laborn had said."

"Hah! I know. I had stopped putting my hopes on him a few years ago. Rest assured, Mr. Ye, both Tristan and I are fine for the time being. Both Lebanon and he are on the way back and should be arriving in Ocean City by tomorrow. Since Lebanon sustained more serious injuries, Tristan should be sending him to the Hans family. Also, Mateo is aware of this and will be there to receive them. On the other hand, you need not worry about the situation here with Laborn. He has his hands full as he needs to save his own life. Before this, Atlas had always sided with him. But now, since Atlas is at his throat because of his son, and Atlas has even joined forces with the cabinet to impeach him! Hence, Laborn is occupied with appeasing the civil war, so he has no time to find out whether Lebanon is dead." Priscilla talked about her father as if he was a stranger, so Nathaniel felt sorry for her.

"Make plans for yourself as soon as possible. Besides, you can come back if anything happens, and the doors of the Ye family will always be open to you. Besides, I believe that Mango is also looking forward to your safe return. Priscilla, we are a family, and you are my sister. This will never change."

Priscilla immediately teared up after hearing what Nathaniel said.

"Mr. Ye, no... I'm going to cry if you keep acting like this."

After saying that, Priscilla hung up the phone immediately.

She was swirling a glass of red wine in her hand, but she felt warm after looking at the blood-red colour of it.

Well, she wanted to see what the Yes Mansion looked like. She used to want to be the lady of the house, but now, it would definitely be her future home.

At this thought, Priscilla gulped down the wine in her glass.

After all, a lot of things had happened in the past few days. Firstly, she had not told Nathaniel that Tristan was injured as Nathaniel was seriously injured as well. Moreover, she had heard that Mango was injured as well because their enemies were targeting her. Thus, she felt they would know about this when Tristan returned, so she did not explain in advance.

However, when she learned that Tristan was injured, Priscilla's heart was distressed. Thus, she would recall some fragments of her memories from time to time, and she even remembered how she and Tristan could never be separated.

She knew that it was not a dream, and it was something that had happened before. This meant that she used to have an intimate relationship with Tristan!

Well, Priscilla wasn't sure how she felt. However, after learning that Tristan was injured, she drank two bottles of red wine and then cried on the table unconsciously.

She didn't know why she was crying, but her tears kept streaming down her face endlessly.

Hence, she had informed Mateo about Tristan's whereabouts and had sent her men to his aid.

She could have gotten people to bring Tristan back to Angolla, but there was great internal turmoil inside Angolla right now. Hence, the son of the Acker family had already become the target of Laborn and Atlas's power struggle. Thus, both of them would probably destroy him if they couldn't get him on their side.

Therefore, Priscilla unprecedentedly sent Tristan away and even staged a plane crash incident. In Angolla, they had told people that the assistant of the Acker family's son was already dead.

Since Tristan was not from Angolla, they should let him return to his hometown.

However, Priscilla suddenly felt empty.

After all, this was too strange!

She hadn't him for a long time, and he was an unreasonable jerk. Why would she worry about him?

Well, Priscilla didn't understand her thoughts. But now, she was fighting her battles all alone again in this cold palace in Angolla.

Hah! It didn't matter! After all, she had gotten used to this since she was a child, right?

Oh, well, maybe she was destined to be alone, so she could only fight her battles by herself. Therefore, she could only continue to fight for her own survival in this political mess.

At this thought. Priscilla put down her wine glass and went to lie on her bed.

After all, she didn't want to move anymore, and she felt that playing dead felt nice now! Besides, what would happen the next morning once she had opened her eyes? She might not even be alive!

At this thought, Priscilla smirked in self-deprecation. Suddenly, she noticed someone jumping in through the window.

Then, she immediately became alert.

"Who is it?"

Priscilla jumped to her feet as she spoke. Then, she attacked the intruder as fast as she could.

Soon, the familiar smell of disinfectant surged through her senses.

Priscilla was momentarily dazed before someone pulled her into an embrace with their study arms. After that, a mischievous voice that she knew so well sounded in her ears.

"Are you sending me away just like this? Priscilla, you are becoming bolder!"
