The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)
Chapter 1534

Mango told Tessa's matters to Genevie with a smile as if it was some funny gossips. In the end, she said, "Oh, that's right, this woman actually has the same surname as the Soo family. Her name is Tessa. It seems that the man she married back then was an aristocrat, who is known as Marcelo. He is really a sc*mbag."

Genevieve frowned slightly as she listened quietly.

"Well, I called just to tell you about this interesting thing that I've come across. Did you just wake up?"

"Yes."

Genevieve nodded in response.

"Then wash up and have breakfast quickly. I'm sleepy too. I'm going to sleep. Bye."

After hanging up, Genevieve's mind seemed to be boggled by something.

When Noah came out of the bathroom and saw Genevieve, he couldn't help but ask with a smile, "What's the matter? What did Mango say to you that warrants such an expression on your face?" "Noah, we may have a trouble."

Noah was taken aback by Genevieve's words.

"What?"

Genevieve repeated what Mango had told her and placed special attention on Tessa and Marcelo.

The color drained from Noah's face all of a sudden.

"What's the name again?"

"Tessa, that's what Mango told me. I feel that if Mango wouldn't have called me if it has nothing to do with us. Furthermore, she pointed out Tessa's surname. I'm afraid she's trying to remind us of something." Genevieve didn't know about Tessa. Firstly, it was because Noah didn't want her to be too close to the Soo family. Secondly, the matter between Tessa and Carlson had always been a secret. Genevieve only knew Brenett. As for Tessa, the Soo family had demanded everyone to keep their mouths shut after the marriage, so Genevieve naturally had no chance of finding out. Noah hadn't even mentioned Tessa to her.

At this moment, Genevieve couldn't help but pause for a moment when she saw Noah's reaction.

"What's the matter with you?"

"Tessa is my cousin. She is Barack's family. I was close to her since I was a child. I thought that although she wasn't happy after marrying Marcelo, it wouldn't be this bad. Moreover, the Li family went bankrupt overnight and Marcelo left the capital with his entire family. When I wanted to look into it, there was nothing left for me to investigate. I have always thought that Tessa would ask me for help if she experienced any problems in life. I didn't expect her to be in that kind of situation."

Noah suddenly felt a terrible ache in his heart.

His beloved cousin had been tortured to such a state by the Li family. Tessa, who was once a beautiful and promising soldier, was now a cripple!

Noah even wished that he could kill Marcelo right now.

"I have to go to Y Country now."

"You can't leave."

Genevieve grabbed Noah and stopped him. She said in a low voice, "Haven't you thought about anything else?"

"What's there to think of?"

Noah's mind was now completely occupied by Tessa. When he saw Genevieve's frown and heard her question, he couldn't help but freeze for a moment.

Genevieve hurriedly said, "The Li family is a noble family. They have been staying in the Santell Capital for so many years. Why did their family go bankrupt after marrying Tessa? How could this happen if someone else wasn't behind this matter? Noah, I know that you are worried about Tessa, but there are more important things than her at this point. After all, Mango won't tell us this matter if there isn't anything more to it. If it's only because Tessa is your sister, Nathaniel and Mango will just tell us directly, right? Why would they beat around the bush? I think you should look into it."

Noah felt that Genevieve's words make perfect sense.

"I'll call Noah straightaway."

"If Noah could call you, he wouldn't have asked Mango to call me."

Genevieve stopped Noah at once.

At this moment, Mango sent a text message to Genevieve.

"Tessa used to love Carlson."

Mango didn't mention Carlson's name on the phone just now. She only mentioned a young man from a wealthy family because she was afraid that their call was being tapped. So this sentence was the key point.

Genevieve's eyes narrowed abruptly. Noah also saw this and couldn't help but be stunned.

Then the text message on Genevieve's phone disappeared at a speed as fast as lightning.

Noah knew that Nathaniel was behind this.

Noah could no longer remain calm when Carlson was mentioned.

"How could it be?"

"What is it?"

Genevieve knew that Noah had to have known something when she saw his reaction.

Noah said hastily, "I know that Brenett and Carlson loved each other. Back then, Carlson was arrested and punished after he murdered someone for Brenett. Later, after he was released from prison, he made Brenett pay. Since then, he has been staying away from women. How is this related to Tessa?"

Noah felt that there was a need for an investigation concerning this matter.

For this reason, he couldn't care less about work right now. He asked for personal leave and sent someone reliable to investigate this matter.

Since Nathaniel wanted Noah to look into this, he would naturally disclose some information to him. Therefore, it wasn't hard for Noah to figure everything out. His face turned ashen when he knew the truth. The Soo family!

His family was deeply involved in this matter. If this was true, their destruction was already in line.

At the thought of this, Noah called his grandfather, Nolan, directly.

"Hi, grandpa."

Since Noah got married, he rarely contacted Noah. Thus, the latter was surprised by the sudden phone call.

"Hey brat, do you still remember that you have a grandfather?"

At present, the head of the Soo family was Noah's uncle, Susan.

Noah was not in the mood to bicker with Noah. He told the latter everything he found out in detail.

Noah was shocked instantly.

"Are you telling the truth, each and every bit of it?"

"Yes. Carlson hasn't started investigating this matter yet, but it will only be a matter of time. It's said that he is already on a flight to Y Country. As long as he confirms that Tessa's daughter, Sissaye, is his daughter, the Soo family will be doomed. Grandpa, did uncle really do that to Tessa back then?"

Noah couldn't believe it, but he knew it was true because he was raised in a wealthy family. He knew all the dirty things by heart. That was why he didn't like the position of the head of the family. He just wanted a simple life!

However, he would never imagine that his uncle, Susan, would actually do such a thing.

Over the years, Nolan not been involved in any matters of the family at all. Naturally, he did not know if this was true. However, since it had been found out, it meant that Susan was indeed behind it. Now, they only needed the proof.

There was no time for Nolan to think of a solution.

Although Noah informed Nolan at the first instant, Harris was already on his way to Y Country. Nolan could already foretell the future of the Soo family.

Now that it was too late to do anything, the Soo family had to pay for what they did, but...

Nolan said in a low voice, "From now on, you are no longer a member of the Soo family." "Grandpa, no!"

Noah immediately understood what Nolan meant. He was about to say something else. However, he heard the former say, "Noah, listen to me. If your uncle, Susan, is behind this, there is no way for us to turn the situation around. You know better than me who Carlson is now. The regime has changed, so every elite family is trying to take care of themselves. But I didn't expect that Susan would poison his own family member back then. The Soo family is doomed now. But you're different. You don't work for the government, and your father-in-law is a powerful figure. As long as you are not a member of the Soo family, he can keep you safe. As long as you survive, the Soo family will have a chance to rise to power again. Listen to me. After the Soo family was gone, you will give away your property without keeping any for yourself. As long as you are a civilian with no wealth, Carlson will surely keep you alive and safe considering your friendship. Meanwhile, Brenson will not kill you as well. As long as you are still alive, you and your son will make the Soo family great again. Money can be earned once it is gone, but the same can't be applied to human lives."

Nolan had always doted on his grandson, but unfortunately, the latter wasn't interested in taking over the Soo family.

Now that the Soo family could not escape their doom, Nolan quickly made his decision to abandon the family so that Noah could be saved!

"Oh, grandpa!"

Noah was sobbing instantly.

Nolan knew that Noah was feeling sad, but he was also very pleased with his grandson. In an aristocratic family, the ties between family members were basically nonexistent. Noah was the only one who did not want to use dirty means to seize control of the family. He left the family and developed his own business, which allowed Nolan to enjoy happiness and harmony in the family for several years. Nolan went teary as well when he realized that this would likely be the last time he saw Noah.

"Genevieve is a good girl, and now the Soo family is in deep trouble. The Soo family has treated her badly and for that I'm sorry. Back then, your grandmother left behind a pair of bracelets. I have kept them in the bank. Take them from the bank and give them to Genevieve. Live a good life with her in the future."

Noah knew that the bracelets were the sign of the matriarch of the Soo family. They were also the dowry of his grandmother. Although Susan was now the head of the family, Nolan had never given the bracelets to Susan's wife. Noah did not expect that it would be passed down to Genevieve.

"Grandpa, I'm sorry, I can't make it back to your place now."

Noah was now in the Santell Capital. He could not leave the Santell Capital because he was on good terms with Nathaniel.

How could Nolan not know about this?

He said in a low voice, "Don't come back! You've done a great job of finding out and telling me in time. Noah, I won't talk too much, but the future of the Soo family is in your hands. The rise and fall of aristocratic families are like the cycle of the moon. It will wax and wane. This is pretty common. Right now, you need to focus on how to re-establish the Soo family. I believe that you will definitely lead the Soo family to become an aristocratic family again."

Noah held the phone tightly as tears filled his eyes.

He knew this was his last call to Nolan.

"Grandpa, shall we have a video call?"

"There's no need for that."

After saying that, Nolan hung up the phone.

Noah couldn't keep his tears from falling.

Genevieve stood behind him when he didn't notice it. She hugged him from behind and whispered, "I'm here with you."

Noah suddenly turned around and hugged her, burying his face in her neck. Hot, warm liquid was dripping onto her neck. It was burning hot.

Genevieve felt upset as well, but she knew that certain things were not up to her to decide. If it wasn't for Nathaniel and Mango's call, it was very likely that they would suffer the same fate as Susan.

Now, Noah was at least safe. Although the Soo family had fallen to their demise, it had little impact on Noah and Genevieve's life. After Noah handed over his properties, Carlson would definitely not let him live off a woman.

Therefore, Noah was now a follower who worked for Carlson.
