The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)
Chapter 1529

"I think you have a death wish!"

Nathaniel's voice was not loud, but it cast a coldness over the whole room.

Although Martina had lost, she had a sense of superiority over others after years of suppressing and bullying Tessa. Now, Nathaniel was choking her throat. She panicked because of the suffocation. "Who are you? I'm warning you, my son will sue you if you hurt me!"

"Try it! I'm going to sue you before you can sue me! I promise that every member of the Li family will spend the rest of their lives in prison!"

Nathaniel's eyes were shining with a murderous intent.

Martina was scared out of her wits in an instant.

"Let go of her. We'll talk about it."

"What? Do you want to talk to me now? Have you ever thought about talking to me when you were hitting Tessa or selling Sissaye away?"

Flames of anger were burning in Nathaniel's chest. He hoped he could hurt these people before his eyes badly, but he couldn't do that. Mango had rarely seen Nathaniel in this state. Now that she saw his action and heard that Tessa was Noah's cousin, she understood what was going on. Nathaniel was so angry for a reason.

Noah was Nathaniel's best friend while Tessa was Nathaniel's best soldier. It was truly infuriating that she was being bullied by this group of people. However, it wouldn't be good for Nathaniel to really kill someone.

Mango cleared her throat and said, "Nathan, sometimes, death is not the best punishment. Instead, they have the chance to redeem themselves if they are alive." When she said that, Marcelo immediately looked at her as a trace of hatred flashed through his eyes.

"You are a vicious woman!"

"The more vicious part is yet to come. I promise that you'll wish you were dead. What about it? Do you want to have a try?"

Mango didn't care about someone like Marcelo at all. She even hoped that he could drop dead in front of her. However, she also knew that she couldn't violate the law.

Nathaniel loosened his grip a little. Then Martina coughed and gasped for air.

Marcelo was a good son although he was a man who beat his wife. He couldn't help but panic when he saw Nathaniel strangle his mother.

"What the hell are you doing? Who is Tessa to you? Are you her lover or something? Otherwise, why would you stand up for her? Are you the biological father of that bastard, Sissaye?" Upon hearing Marcelo's words, Mango and Nathaniel immediately comprehended the situation.

Sissaye was not Marcelo's daughter indeed.

This made sense!

Who would be so cruel to their own daughter?

Sissaye's eyes lit up abruptly. She was looking at Nathaniel differently now.

Tessa hurriedly said, "What are you talking about? Sissaye is our child!"

"Bullshit! I have never slept with you at all. How can we have a child together?"

Marcelo couldn't care less at this point.

Mango and Nathaniel were both shocked to the core.

Did Marcelo not sleep with Tessa before?

How could this be possible?

This man was obviously not a good guy. Tessa was a beautiful woman. It was strange that he married her but never slept with her once.

Tessa was a little embarrassed since he had brought this matter up in front of everyone.

Marcelo had regarded Nathaniel as Tessa's mistress just now. He quickly said in order to save his mother, "I swear I haven't touched Tessa at all. Just let my mother go. I promise that I won't hit Tessa again in the future, okay?"

"Do you think she will still stay with you in the future?"

Nathaniel thought that Marcelo had to be out of his mind.

"File for divorce! Set her free!"

"That's impossible!"

Nathaniel said this when he thought there wouldn't be any objection, but then Marcelo rejected it strongly.

"Even if Tessa dies, she will die as a member of the Li family."

Upon hearing this, Tessa's facial expression changed, but she bit her lower lip and hid the sadness in her eyes.

"Did you say death? Are you going to let Sissaye go if I'm dead?"

Tessa suddenly raised her head and said decisively. For a moment, Mango felt a little uneasy.

"Tessa, don't be stupid!"

Marcelo was also surprised by Tessa's resolution.

For many years, he had beaten and scolded her. Bullying Tessa had already become a habit of his, causing him to forget that she used to be dazzling, outstanding, and captivating. Marcelo could not say that he had never loved her, because he did. However, it was also for this reason that he could not bear her marrying him while being pregnant with someone's child. Tessa was an excellent woman, but she should not insult him like this. Moreover, she was the reason the Li family had deteriorated from a wealthy family to a poor family. How could he not hate her?

Marcelo looked at Tessa and gritted his teeth. "Don't even think about it! If you're dead, I'll sell your daughter to the shadiest fighting ring and make her an item that can be won by any man. I can't hurt you, but that doesn't mean I can't mess with your daughter. Maybe I'll have a taste of her first before I sell her!"

"Shame on you! Marcelo, do you have a heart?"

Tessa could never have imagined that Marcelo would become who he was today.

Marcelo started laughing hysterically. He laughed so hard that he was coughing and shedding tears. However, he said with a creepy voice, "A heart? I'm no longer a good guy. Tessa, you'll be my wife for your whole life even if you're dead! Without my permission, you can't die!"

Tessa trembled in anger after hearing his words.

Mango had come across such a shameless man for the first time. She couldn't help but feel a little infuriated.

"He is still threatening her under such circumstances!"

Mango went forward and kicked Marcelo in the groin.

He screamed in agony, but he continued to laugh maniacally.

"You don't want me to have children. Is that it? Don't bother! I was drugged the day I married Tessa. I won't be able to have sex with anyone for the rest of my life! Do you really think I don't dare to sleep with her? I wasn't able to!"

Marcelo's eyes suddenly went red like that of an angry beast.

"I married her but lost my dignity as a man! I'm the only son of the third generation of the Li family. I

woman! Why shouldn't I hate her? Why?"

Marcelo fired his questions righteously.

How could this be possible?

Tessa was completely taken aback. She didn't know anything about this!

Mango and Nathaniel were also stunned for a moment, but Mango came to her senses quickly.

"Even so, this is not a reason for you to hit Tessa! If you don't love her, why don't just go for a divorce? It's good for both of you!"

"Why should I let her leave? You should ask her what kind of man did she seduce? Since she doesn't love me, why did she marry me? I'm okay with being her husband and taking care of her child. However, the father of that child also ordered his men to poison me and destroyed the Li family's business. The Li family and I were doomed overnight just because I married her. Why should I let her go so easily? A divorce? Then what about this disaster that befell me and the Li family?"

Martina, who was still held captive by Nathaniel, was stunned upon hearing Marcelo's words. She always thought that Marcelo didn't father a child because Tessa was infertile.

However, now she knew that it was because of Tessa that her son could no longer be a father. Then was he only venting his anger and talking nonsense when he said that he wanted to destroy Sissaye's life just now?

Martina suddenly burst into tears.

"Tessa, you f*ck! Not only did you destroy the Li family, you even destroyed my son as well! I won't let you off the hook! I'm going to kill you! I will kill you!"

Martina struggled against Nathaniel.

Tessa's shock finally eased a little. When she thought of that man's personality, she said with great conviction, "No! It wasn't him! When he let me go back then, he wanted me to find my own happiness. He wouldn't do that. I know for sure he was not the person you've painted him to be!"

"Why are you still standing up for him at this point?"

Marcelo turned around and looked at Nathaniel.

Nathaniel stood there indifferently as if he did not care about anything. However, Marcelo could catch a whiff of the aura of a superior from him.

"What about it? Do you not dare to tell Tessa what you did to me and the Li family back then? Do you dare to say to my face that it was you who gave me the poison to poison Tessa? Can you say it?" Tessa staggered and almost fell to the ground.

"Nonsense! Marcelo! Stop spewing nonsense!"

"Do you think I'm talking nonsense? You've been missing him for eight years, right? You've been waiting for him to come and rescue you, haven't you? Now that he is here, are you happy? You can't wait to leave with him, right? But Tessa, I'm telling you that you're just as pathetic as me, if not more. Even though he didn't do it with his own hands that year, he was the one who destroyed the Li family. As for you, do you think a rich kid like me could get the poisonous drug that could poison even you? If it weren't for your baby, I would have given you the poison when we first got married. However, I had fallen for you and so I hoped that you'll slowly fall in love with me. That was why I found it hard to poison you. However, you did not love me at all! You mumbled another man's name in your sleep! How could I be sincere to you when I was nothing to you? That was why I poisoned you when you were weak after giving birth to that girl. But your boyfriend was the one who gave the poison to me! How do you feel about that?" Marcelo knew that Tessa was in pain. Her pain was his comfort. For so many years, the two of them had been tormenting each other. He was truly happy that he was able to hurt her emotionally. Perhaps he was sick in the head.

But so what if that was the case?

Even if he had to go to hell, he would drag Tessa along with him.

Nathaniel had been listening to their conversation for a long time. He gained a certain understanding of some of the events in the past, but he still felt that something was amiss.

After being agitated just now, a determined expression flashed across Tessa's pale face.

She said one word at a time, "That's not the kind of person he is! I won't believe any word you said! I only trust him! He is noble and honest. He will never play such a dirty trick! Moreover, I never wanted to lie to you, Marcelo! When I first married you, I didn't know I was pregnant! Besides, you and I slept together on the night of our wedding! If I hadn't thought that Sissaye was your child, why would I be your wife for eight years and suffer in silence?"
