The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)
Chapter 1537

Tessa went to the room to take care of Sissaye after hearing Mango's words. Meanwhile, the latter told the servants to add a few more dishes. This was because Harris had stayed in the Ye family before, so

she knew what food he liked and did not like.

The women were busy with chores while Nathaniel and Harris were also occupied.

The two of them headed for the study straight away.

"How's Zion?"

Nathaniel had a headache when he thought of Zion. Why would the latter go to Carlson and suffer from the intense training when he had a comfortable life?

However, Nathaniel understood one thing after the incident with the Soo family. A powerful family should bring their children up in separate locations so that they could ensure a way out for the family. However, he did not hope that things would come to this for the Ye family.

Harris, on the other hand, said indifferently, "Don't worry, Zion has great potential. There's a lot of room for development."

"I just feel bad for him."

"I know, but what about it? A man has great responsibilities on his shoulder. Besides, he is the son of an elite family. I'm sure you know that he has a lot on his plate. Well, why don't you ask Wisdom to give it a try?"

As soon as Harris finished speaking, Nathaniel rejected his suggestion.

"He is Nick's only son, so I can't do that to him. I'll support him no matter what he wants to do."

"No wonder he is your favorite child."

Although Harris said so, he did not suggest anything else. Instead, he leaned against the chair and whispered, "What should I tell Carl?"

"Just tell him the truth."

Nathaniel didn't care much about it.

Harris glanced at him helplessly and said, "You are a sly man. You called me here and so that you can push everything to me, right?"

"Of course. My wife and I are here on a vacation. I did a great job by saving Carlson's daughter and beloved woman. As for the rest, do you expect me to do everything? Don't forget that Noah is my friend. I refuse to destroy the Soo family with my own hands. Besides, I'm not a government official anymore. It's not my business, isn't it?"

Nathaniel had never felt so grateful for his retirement until now.

Harris, on the other hand, said with a smile, "Carlson can appoint you in the blink of an eye. Do you really think that they'll approve your retirement after you sign the papers?"

Upon hearing this, the blood drained from Nathaniel's face in an instant.

"Let me tell you something. Go back and tell Carlson this. If he plays any tricks, I don't mind taking my wife and children with me to become the residents of Y Country. I'm sure you know that Eugene would love for me to become a citizen of Y Country."

Harris fell silent upon hearing this.

Few people knew Eugene's identity, but as a senior official, Carlson was not in the dark. As a result, Harris was also very clear.

Nathaniel and Eugene had been friends for many years. Eugene was the eldest prince of Y Country. So if Carlson pushed Nathaniel too hard, it was possible that the latter would bring his wife and children to Y Country.

"Do you want to piss Carl off?"

"That depends on whether he is going to piss me off."

Nathaniel was now increasingly cunning. "I'm sure there are other people around him. Don't be focused on me solely. I've donated three research facilities and given him so much money. What else does he want? I give my word that the Ye family will not be involved in politics in the future, okay? I'm really tired. I just want to live a peaceful life with my wife and children."

Nathaniel sounded sincere and genuine.

Although Harris was Carlson's family doctor, he was also his advisor and wise strategist. He had been helping Carlson to recruit talents.

Harris finally gave up upon hearing Nathaniel's words.

"It's a waste of talent for you to be a businessman."

"We all have our dreams and aspirations."

All of a sudden, Harris said with a smile, "You did escape from the problem, but your son is determined to be involved. Well, it's lucky for Carlson that you've left since you're an unruly person. Zion is much more suitable to take up the job compared to you. It's much easier to train him than training someone obedient."

Nathaniel was suddenly tempted to punch Harris all of a sudden.

"That's my son you're talking about!"

"But he might be Carl's son-in-law too. If Sissaye is really Carl's daughter, she should be the same age as your son. It's not impossible to arrange for an engagement at this time. After all, a son-in-law is also a son to his father-in-law. Carl thinks very highly of Zion. You won't have to worry because you'll lead a good life in the future."

Harris said teasingly with a smile.

However, Nathaniel frowned slightly.

"Who cares to be his son-in-law?"

"That's not your decision to make."

Nathaniel sneered as he said, "Don't you bother about Zion's life. Let me tell you something. In the future, if he takes a fancy to Sissaye, I will let him marry her even if Carlson objects to it. But if my son doesn't like Sissaye, I won't agree to force him to marry Sissaye. In the Ye family, we don't care about status and power. Only the opinions of our children matter."

He said it with confidence.

Harris knew that Nathaniel meant what he said.

"Fine, I'm just kidding. Why do you take it so seriously? It's too early to talk about marriage now, but we can't rule out the possibility that Carl will think of Zion as his son-in-law while training him."

Nathaniel fell silent.

Nathaniel was happy that there was someone who could train Zion. However, he would never allow anyone to interfere with Zion's marriage and love affairs.

The Ye family didn't need any noble ladies or wealthy families to help them. Nathaniel would agree to Zion marrying a girl from the slums as long as he liked her.

They talked about Tessa for a while. Soon Sissaye was awake.

Harris didn't know what Tessa told her. However, the moment he saw Sissaye, he knew that she was Carlson's child.

Her eyes were just too similar to those of Carlson.

However, he still had to go through the procedures.

Harris drew Sissaye's blood and began the paternity test.

Sissaye had always been really silent. Everyone here was a stranger to her, but she liked to spend her time with Mango.

Mango was the one who turned her life around. Furthermore, she was a truly gentle soul.

Tessa could tell that Sissaye liked Mango, so she took her hand and sat beside Mango.

"Sissaye has been staying with me since she is young. She has so much to learn in this world. I hope that you will take good care of her if there's a chance in the future, Mrs. Ye." Meanwhile, Mango shook her head and said, "I can't take care of her. After all, the Ye family is just a group of merchants. However, you can go to Noah. After all, he is her uncle, so he will be nice to her. Furthermore, Genevieve is a kind person too. Her family, Barney, is only a few years older than Sissaye. He is very easy to get along with."

In the past, Mango liked Sissaye, so she wouldn't mind the latter visiting her house. However, after learning about the impending doom of the Soo family, Mango finally understood the current situation. During the change of regime, it would be wise for each family to be a little more careful with what they did. Moreover, the Ye family was now involved in business, so they no longer had much say in politics in the future.

It took a lot of effort to pull the Ye family out of this whirlpool of trouble. Mango felt that there was no need for the Ye family to be involved in this just because of Sissaye.

Tessa was a smart person. Naturally, she knew the hidden behind Mango's words, but she was still very grateful to her.

"Thank you, I will keep this in mind."

"No problem."

Sissaye didn't know what Mango and Tessa were talking about, but she knew that Mango didn't want her to visit. She felt a little down.

Mango was reminded of her own daughter when she saw Sissaye's current state. In the end, she couldn't bear to see her sad, so she said, "I have a son who is the same age as you. He is also a hacker. I hope you'll meet him someday. You might even enjoy playing with him. Also, my daughter is the same age as you too. She doesn't have any strength other than eating. She is a foodie who is good at smelling out tasty food. You can also be friends with her. I'm sure she'll bring you around to enjoy all the delicacies in this world."

Sissaye was stunned all of a sudden. Then she was pleasantly surprised.

Although Mango had turned her down, she had offered to introduce her son and daughter. Did this mean that Mango didn't hate her?

Sissaye was still young, so this was all she could think about. However, Tessa knew what Mango meant.

The Ye family was still in trouble. She would not associate herself with Tessa, but the children were naive and innocent. It was okay for them to be friends and had fun together.

Tessa was instantly grateful to her.

"I know what to do now."

"Nathan and I are here for a trip after all. So when Harris gets the medical report for the paternity test, he will take you back with him to the Santell Capital. I won't be interfering in your future from now on. But as a woman, I would advise you to follow your heart. It's up to Carlson to make the choice. You should do everything with a clear conscience."

Mango patted Tessa on the shoulder meaningfully.

The latter suddenly felt a lump in her throat.

After eight years, she did not know how Carlson felt about her, but she knew that there were mountains to move and difficulties to overcome between the two of them. Carlson had worked hard to obtain his current position. Would it be affected by the arrival of Tessa and Sissaye?

Tessa had no answer to that.

Of course, Mango had no idea as well. However, this wasn't something she should be considering. The only thing she could do right now was to protect her children and family. She didn't have much time to worry about anything else.

Harris stayed here for two days. The result of the paternity test was out. Sissaye was indeed the daughter of Carlson and Tessa.

Once it was confirmed, Harris immediately informed Carlson about the matter and requested for Tessa and Sissaye's immediate departure to the Santell Capital.

Carlson was completely dumbfounded.

Did he have a seven-year-old daughter?

Besides, what did Harris tell him?

What kind of hellish life Tessa had been living for the past eight years?

The Soo family and the Li family had the nerve to torment his beloved woman for so many years. His daughter was supposed to be a lady born of noble blood, but now Marcelo, the bastard, sold her to an acrobatic troupe.

Carlson grew angrier as he listened to the report. His chest was almost exploding with anger. However, he was no longer the man he was eight years ago. He still remained level- headed in certain matters. "Don't come back for the time being. Tell Nathaniel to wait for me for a couple of days. I will come and pick them up in person."

Harris understood his order more or less.

It wasn't a good time for Tessa and Sissaye to return to the Santell Capital. After all, Brenson had already arranged for Carlson's engagement. The sudden appearance of Tessa and her daughter would only bring trouble to Carlson. Brenson would also be displeased with it.

Harris could not help but feel worried when he thought of what they would be facing next. He even took a glance at Nathaniel.

At this critical moment, it was not a good thing that Nathaniel had saved Tessa and Sissaye. However, Harris couldn't blame him for this. He really felt conflicted.
