The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)
Chapter 1418

"I didn't pay her anything. She volunteered to do this."

Tristan's tone was a little solemn as he spoke of this.

"What happened?"

Priscilla was momentarily stunned, but she was anxious to know.

Tristan whispered, "Bernard killed her most beloved man and drove her mother mad. Her father couldn't stand the shock. So, he got drunk one day and died in a car accident. Then, her mother drowned shortly after her father's death."

That was a tragedy! Bernard's reckless pillage had caused the tragic death of a family.

Priscilla felt miserable all of a sudden after hearing this.

"How is the girl now?"

"She should be dead soon."

"What? How could this be?"

Priscilla asked hurriedly, "Why didn't you take her with you?" "She wants to die, and I can't take her with me."

Tristan also felt heavyhearted at this thought.

But the girl didn't want to live anymore. No one knew what the girl had suffered, and Tristan only knew that she was heavily scarred and bruised.

There were many scars and wounds on her body, and most of which were caused by cigarette burns. There were even bruises on her body. All of them were caused by assault, whipping, and even wax burns. Alas! Bernard was simply a beast!

Well, Tristan could cure the wounds on her body, but he couldn't heal her emotional trauma. Besides that, the child in the girl's womb had died because she had swallowed abortion pills.

She even refused the operation to take the child out, so she couldn't live much longer.

Tristan told Priscilla the stories sorrowfully, and Priscilla was also depressed upon hearing them.

"Urgh! Bernard died too quickly! He hasn't suffered enough to pay for these sins!"

"Well, to be fair, it wasn't an easy death. After the girl drugged him, Bernard had lost all his strength. Then, she castrated him, and she pretty much stamped on his pride. Not only that, but the girl also told Bernard that his child was already dead. Bernard wanted to kill her then, but he had no

strength left."

When Tristan talked about this matter, he also felt very uncomfortable.

Previously, the girl had sent Tristan a message saying that she would help kill Bernard. They had even agreed that Tristan would get her out of the place once she had done the deed. However, it was all a lie as the girl never wanted to continue living.

Then, the girl dismembered Bernard's limbs and cooked them for Atlas. After Atlas took a bite, only did she tell him that it was his son's meat. Naturally, Atlas was outraged and killed the girl there and then. Hence, Tristan had heard that she had died a horrible death, and her body had been dismembered.

However, Tristan withheld this information from Priscilla.

Although Priscilla looked tough on the outside, she was still kindhearted and meek on the inside.

Therefore, he decided to hide this bloody story from her.

After telling Nathaniel about these things, Priscilla saw that Tristan was staring at her intensely.

"Why are you looking at me like that?"

"My plane will arrive soon. Have you packed your things?"

Tristan's words startled Priscilla immediately.

"Are you kidding me? When did I say I would go with you?"

"Are you telling me that you're staying here so that you can find another husband? Don't forget! The entire country knows that Laborn gave me your hand in marriage." "But you're already dead!"

Priscilla gloated since she was the one who planned his fake death.

However, Tristan smiled and said, "I could let everyone know that I am still alive at any time."

"What? Are you crazy?"

Priscilla stared at Tristan and realized that there was a hint of seriousness in his eyes.

Urgh! How could he threaten her with his life?

"Tristan, do you think this is a joke? Your life is your own. You can choose whether you want to live or die on your own!"

"Alright then. I will return to the Acker family now."

After that, Tristan got up to leave, but Priscilla grabbed him.

"Will you stop messing around? You will end up losing your life!" "Hah! You don't even care about me!"

Priscilla wanted to hit Tristan when she saw how shameless he was being.

"Don't force me, okay?"

"Is there anyone else left who you care about? Maya's brother had arrived at Ocean City. After you leave here with Maya, you shouldn't have any more attachment to this place." Tristan's words frustrated Priscilla again.

"How many of your men are around me? Don't tell me that everyone around me works for you! Are the people whom I have been training all these years all yours?" "Nah, just three or four of them."

Surprisingly, Tristan was overjoyed when she saw how annoyed Priscilla was.

"Get lost!"

Priscilla was not dumb to believe his words! However, Maya had already finished packing, so she knocked on Priscilla's door and asked, "Princess, when are we leaving?" "Leaving? We are not f*king leaving!"

"Hey! Girls shouldn't curse."

Tristan frowned slightly when he heard what

Priscilla had said.

"It's none of your business!"

"Are you not going to listen to me anymore?"

Tristan abruptly took a step closer as he questioned this. His 6-foot tall height frightened Priscilla, so she involuntarily took a step back.

"Do you think you're impressive just because you're tall?"

"Yes, I think that it is! Heh, I don't think you can grow up to 6 feet tall!"

Priscilla gritted her teeth in anger when she saw Tristan's smug face.

"Urgh! Get out of my way!"

Priscilla stretched out her arm to push Tristan away. However, Tristan took advantage of this and pulled her into his arms before carrying her up. "Let's go home then."

"Tristan, let go of me! You are kidnapping me!"

"You can shout even louder. Maybe Laborn will come and save you."

Tristan's lips curled into a slight smile, and a smug expression was written all over his face. However, Priscilla shut her mouth.

After all, he would not let Tristan die.

"Even if Bernard is dead, Atlas would not suspect

Laborn as all." "Well, the girl works for Laborn."

Tristan's words stunned Priscilla.

"Is that true?"

"Yes, the girl said so before she died. Alas! She helped us before she died."

Tristan said solemnly as he was still very sad about this.

Meanwhile, Priscilla also stopped talking.

If they wanted to end a regime, they had to pay the price by sacrificing a lot of people. Most importantly, a lot of innocent people had to give up their lives for this as well. Therefore, Priscilla didn't like the palace. She didn't like the power struggle, and she disliked seeing the miserable deaths of innocent people. However, some things were out of her control.

"I hope the civil war in Angolla will end sooner, and the nation will continue to prosper."

"Yes, it will. Lebanon has already awakened. After he exposes Laborn's crimes to the world, he will be the legitimate successor to the throne."

After all, Tristan had always planned to help Lebanon win over the throne.

When Priscilla heard this, she looked at him and asked in a low voice, "Did you set this up from the beginning?" "That's right."

"Then why didn't you help Lebanon when he was forced to leave Angolla?"

"How old was I when he left Angolla? Come on! I had no authority at that time, so I couldn't do anything even if I wanted to help him!"

Tristan laughed as he said this.

Did Priscilla think that he was omnipotent?

Then, Priscilla continued, "What about when Alfred died?"

"Hmm... I can't get involved in that matter."

"What do you mean?"

"My mother was the one who killed Alfred and framed it on Bernard. At first, Bernard wanted to take action against Alfred, but he then wanted to win over Alfred as the latter could influence Lebanon's decisions. At that time, Alfred had too big an influence on Lebanon. He thought that Alfred was the same as him, but that wasn't true. Soon, Alfred found out that his sister was in Bernard's hands. Hence, there was a possibility that Alfred would join forces with Bernard for his sister."

This was something that nobody knew about, but Tristan chose to tell Priscilla this.

"In fact, Alfred consumed the poison of his own will. My mother had rescued his sister and had arranged a good life for her. My mother had also allowed the siblings to say their last goodbyes, so that was why Alfred was willing to die. He did it not only so that his sister could live in peace but also for Lebanon. Alfred knew that Lebanon's feelings towards him were probably not true love but more like feelings towards family. If Lebanon were to one day be the king, he had to let go of this deformed love. However, Lebanon was a stubborn man. As long as Alfred was alive, Lebanon would never let him go. Therefore, only Alfred's death could motivate Lebanon to fight for power and authority. Now that Lebanon is about to sit on the throne, he will only become lonelier."

Tristan still felt sorry for Lebanon, so he decided to protect the latter by not telling him about the true story behind Alfred's death.

On the other hand, Priscilla was slightly taken aback and did not say another word.

When she came to her senses, she was already on the plane.

"Tristan, you are asking me to abandon my home country."

"Don't worry. You're just going home."

Tristan smiled faintly when he said this. After all, he felt that being able to bring Priscilla back to his country was his biggest accomplishment so far.

Then, one of his subordinates went up to Tristan and handed him a letter.

"Mr. Acker, this letter is from the previous and current lords of the family."

That meant that this was a letter Arlo and Teagan had written.

The letter was very thick, and it was more than ten pages. There were very few people in this society who still wrote letters, but Arlo and Teagan were some of those few. Hence, instead of hiding the latter from Priscilla, he opened the letter directly.

In the letter, Arlo was a little reluctant to let Tristan leave and told him that the Acker family would always be his home and that there would always be a place for him there.

Meanwhile, Teagan also told Tristan that he would be his older brother for the rest of his life. Tristan's name would be in the Acker's family register, and the Acker family would remember everything he had done forthem.

After reading this, Tristan was happy, and his heart was warm.

He would never forget his foster family's kindness to him, so he did not intend to change his name. After all, Tristan Acker was a nice name.

"Haha! Well then, Your Highness, I'll have to trouble you to marry me, even though I'm only the fake heir to the Acker family."

Tristan was joking, but Priscilla felt sorry for him.

"You can return to your birth family when you return home."

"I'll certainly return to my birth family, but I won't change my name. After all, my life was given by the Acker family. Hence, I did everything for the Acker family willingly. Hence, Your Highness, you should put more thought into the next generation of the Hans family. If not, there will be no descendants in the Hans' family second branch."

Priscilla was dumbfounded after hearing what Tristan had said, and then she suddenly blushed to her neck.

"Hey! Who said that I would birth you kids so that you can continue your bloodline? Tristan, could you be more shameless?"

"I can be as shameless as I want with my wife. Right, I forgot to tell you. I have already submitted my request for marriage, and it was already approved. So, the first thing we need to do when we get back is to get our marriage license."

Priscilla was in shock when she heard how fast

Tristain had taken action.

He now had a military rank and naturally needed to request permission for his marriage. However, she was one of the princesses from Angolla. Would the military even approve of their marriage? However, Priscilla had a glimmer of expectation in her heart when she looked at Tristan and his bright smile.
