Marcelo was stunned upon hearing Tessa's words. He looked even more upset than before.

"I was knocked out and thrown into the basement on my wedding night. I didn't wake up until the next morning. Who are you with during that night?"

Marcelo didn't expect that she would cheated on him twice!

Tessa was also dumbfounded.

How could this be possible?

She thought she was with Marcelo on the wedding night eight years ago. How did it end up like this?

Martina grew angrier as she listened to their conversation. She ignored Nathaniel, who was grabbing her neck, and cursed angrily while gnashing her teeth. "Tessa, you shameless slut. How dare you treat my son this way! A person like you should be f*cked by everyone, you bitch!"

Nathaniel threw her out of the house.

"Mom!"

Marcelo quickly ran out to go to Martina.

Nathaniel looked at Tessa was at a loss for what to say.

"Do you wish to stay here?"

"No! I intend to leave!"

Although Tessa felt upset and confused, she was extremely determined.

She took a look at Sissaye and remembered the sufferings that the latter had gone through with her all these years. She couldn't help feeling a little sad.

"No matter the outcome, I'll take Sissaye away from this home! This home is a devil's den that will choke her to death."

Mango felt that Tessa had made the most correct statement so far.

"I'll carry Sissaye for you. You just have to follow Nathaniel. Let's go!" Mango immediately carried Sissaye in her arms.

Right now, the latter was unusually quiet.

When she heard Marcelo's words, she instantly understood that she was not his daughter. Thus, she could understand why he had treated her so badly over the years, but he should not treat her mother in this manner.

She was a little angry, but she did not know what her mother was planning to do. Now that she heard Tessa say that she wanted to leave this place, she finally heaved a sigh of relief.

She didn't want to stay in this house anymore. If it weren't for the fact that she was too young and couldn't earn a living, she would have left with her mother.

A few members of the Li family were there. When they saw that Nathaniel was protecting Tessa and that Mango was about to leave with Sissaye, they surrounded them in a hurry.

"What the hell are you doing? None of you are leaving today!"

Nathaniel didn't even look at them as he kicked them one by one out of the house.

He didn't care what the Li family had gone through. What did that have to do with him?

Right now, he only wanted to leave here with Tessa.

Nathaniel led the way in a domineering manner. Mango followed him with Sissaye in her arms. At that moment, the two of them easily brought Sissaye and Tessa away from the Li family accompanied by howls of agony.

Mango brought Tessa and her daughter back to the villa.

Nathaniel told Tessa to clean herself up before he took out his phone and gave Eugene a call.

"I need a favor." "I'm occupied."

Eugene had been as busy as a bee for the past few days. He hope desperately that someone could help him out. He had not seen his wife and daughter for several days. How could he have the time to help Nathaniel?

Nathaniel had also heard about Eugene's recent plight. He would not have troubled him unless he had no other choice.

"I am in the same country as you now. Do you really not care about me? If I kill someone, can you inform the local authority to set me free as if they don't know about the crime at all?"

Upon hearing Nathaniel's words, Eugene's mouth twitched in awkwardness.

"Nathaniel, are you here to make trouble? Do you really think I won't hang up on you?"

"Tessa is in Y Country."

Upon hearing Nathaniel's words, Eugene was stunned.

"Come again?"

"Tessa. Noah's cousin. She is the eldest daughter of the Su family that we've been trying to find."

Eugene frowned slightly at his answer. Then he whispered, "Send me the location. I'll be right there." "Don't come over. Tessa doesn't seem like her usual self, and she's in a bad mood. I'm with Mango right now, so let the two of us calm her down. Besides, you're just the uncle of the Soo family, so you'd better stay out of this. I'll tell Noah later and let him handle it."

Nathaniel said in a low voice. Eugene had no choice but to nod and agree.

"Keep this from Genevieve until the problem is solved."

"Got it."

Nathaniel heaved a sigh and said, "I'm calling you to let you know about this. On the other hand, I need you to look into the Li family."

"What Li family?"

I

"The Li family was a rich and elite family in Santell Capital eight years ago. Back then, they disappeared overnight. They completely snuck away from Santell Capital and went out of people's sight in secret. They did it under the radar, so no one noticed that something was amiss. Now, because of Tessa, I feel that there is a secret behind their disappearance. I can't investigate certain things now and it's the same for the Soo family. This is why I need your help."

Nathaniel knew who Marcelo was once he heard the latter mention the former glory of the Li family. Marcelo was the one who pursued Tessa with the most enthusiasm in the past. He was a charismatic gentleman from a wealthy family in the past, but he was in a lousy state right now. It was truly saddening to see.

However, Eugene was quite irritated.

"You're always troubling me. Do you know how much work I have right now? I haven't seen my wife and children for several days. But you took your wife on a vacation and hurled me into this mess. What now? Is that guy in Santell capital still suspicious of you? I think you should pack your bags and come to Y Country. I promise to give you the greatest power. I'll give the army to you if you want."

"Come on, I miss my wife and child right now. If it weren't for Tessa, I wouldn't have bothered with this matter. Hurry up and help me."

Nathaniel knew that Eugene was telling the truth. If Nathaniel really came to Y Country, Eugene would definitely give him the power and honor. Unfortunately, Nathaniel had no intention of doing so. It was impossible for Eugene to act rashly because of his current status.

After all, those who lived in this world couldn't do

whatever they wanted, could they? There were rules to be followed. Besides, Nathaniel liked his hometown and home country.

After Nathaniel hand up, Mango walked out of the room.

"Is Tessa really Noah's younger sister?"

"Yes, she is."

Nathaniel nodded in response.

He knew that Mango would definitely be confused, but there were a lot of things that he hadn't managed to find out. He simply said in a low voice, "Don't overthink it. She is just my subordinate. At most, just like Noah, I see her as my little sister. Furthermore..."

"What about it?"

Mango was a little worried.

She knew that Tessa and Nathaniel were not lovers. However, she still felt upset when Tessa leaned against Nathaniel and cried while Marcelo thought that Nathaniel was Tessa's lover.

Nathaniel could not help teasing her when he saw that she was impatient. "Are you jealous?"

"No, I'm not. Am I such a petty person?"

Nathaniel's lips curled upward into a smile upon hearing Mango's words.

"Is it hard to admit that you're jealous?"

"Come on, are you going to tell me or not? Don't change the topic. What are you going to say just now? Tell me!"

Mango got a little angry from embarrassment. She slapped the back of Nathaniel's hand directly.

It was a little painful so Nathaniel said with a smile, "Besides, she is my friend's wife."

"Huh?"

Mango thought long and hard but she couldn't figure out which one of Nathaniel's friends had anything to do with Tessa.

Nathaniel leaned next to Mango's ear and whispered, "She is the woman that Carlson likes."

"What?"

Mango was truly shocked this time. Nathaniel pulled her into his embrace when he saw her shocked face. Then he kissed her slightly parted lips.

After a round of passionate kissing, Mango was still a little confused. When she heard Nathaniel's chuckle, she came to her senses and punched him in annoyance.

"You're kidding me, right?"

"No, Tessa really dated Carlson before she got married."

Nathaniel wasn't someone who loved to gossip, but Mango's curiosity had already been aroused. She hurriedly asked, "Then why weren't they together? Why would Tessa marry that bastard, Marcelo?" "Mango, curiosity kills the cat."

"But I'm dying to know."

There was a hint of flirtatiousness in Mango's voice. Nathaniel was mesmerized instantly.

Good grief!

Who could withstand her adorable voice?

He had less time to make out with Mango since she was occupied by the two brats. Right now, he could feel his body burning with desire since Mango was being flirtatious.

"Do you truly want to know?"

"Yes, I do."

Mango nodded in a hurry.

Nathaniel said stealthily, "You have to pay a price for the gossip. Why don't we have a two-person exercise?"

Mango's face blushed all of a sudden.

"Are you serious? Tessa and her daughter will be here soon. What are you thinking?"

Nathaniel was a little disappointed since his plan did not work out.

"You know that they will be here soon, so why do you still ask me about the gossip?"

Mango was rendered speechless by Nathaniel.

This bastard was getting better at shutting her up.

"You son of a bitch!"

After scolding him, she turned around and left.

Nathaniel was a little crestfallen.

Why did she call him the son of a bitch?

However, he had no time to ask Mango about it now. At the thought of Carlson, Nathaniel called Carson in the end.

"What's up? I heard that you've been traveling with your wife recently. Did you call me to show off about your vacation?"

Carson asked in a teasing tone.

Nathaniel whispered, "Is Carl with you now?"

"No, he went back to the Mo family. Why would he stay with me? Did you think we're staying at your home? Furthermore, your son, Zion, is also here. He has been personally supervising the training of Zion lately. I think he likes Zion. If he has a daughter, he might just marry his daughter to Zion."

Nathaniel thought of Sissaye all of a sudden.

She was the same age as Zion. Besides, they shared the same interest. Plus, she was likely the daughter of Carlson. It wouldn't be too bad if Nathaniel really became in-laws with Carlson.

"Okay." Nathaniel answered casually. It gave Carson a fright.

"Bullshit. Carlson doesn't have a daughter. Why did you agree so fast? Even if he gets married now, it will take him at least a year to have a child. That doesn't mean he will get a baby daughter. If it's a daughter, your son would be in luck. His wife is actually eight years younger than him. I'm sure you will be delighted."

Carson rambled on, but Nathaniel said out of the blue, "What if he has a daughter who is the same age as my son?"

"What did you say just now?"

Carson was dumbfounded.

"Nathaniel, are you out of your mind? Carl will beat you up. Do you think he can't win against you? He is just too lazy to engage in a fight."

Nathaniel believed him. Carlson had always been a skilled fighter. However, he did not call Carson today to bicker with him. He suddenly found it hard to bring up the topic when he recalled the real reason he called Carson. He had a task for the latter.
