The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)
Chapter 1559

Mango paused for a moment when she heard the question. However, she recalled the characteristics of Brantley's job when he was young and continued, "Someone like you would never understand my grandfather's work, and you don't have the rights to criticize him. Even if my grandfather neglected my grandmother because of his work, it was dishonorable of you to take advantage of the opportunity to get to my grandmother."

"Why? He could take advantage of the situation and take away my woman, but I can't do the same to him? What kind of diabolical reasoning is this?"

It had been many years since Javion had been so angry. At this moment, he was so furious that he wanted to kill Mango.

Because of his anger, the room was filled with a depressing atmosphere, so that everyone was too scared to speak.

However, Mango was so angry that she started laughing. "I'm diabolical? How could you even say something like that? Don't tell me that my grandmother had an affair with you out of her free will. If so, why was she ashamed to face my grandfather and even divorced him and left the house after? If she was in love with you, why didn't she bring Aunt Sophia to see you after her divorce? Yet, she raised my aunt by herself and led a tough life. In the end, she didn't even have money for her medical treatment and died miserably."

As heard Mango's series of questions, Javion suddenly felt a sharp pain in his chest.

Why?

Because that woman hated him!

After so many years, he thought he had forgotten all about it. But now, he realized that he had been deceiving himself.

He still remembered the woman's unyielding eyes. He also recalled that when he assaulted her, she tore off a piece of flesh from his shoulder. Even though it had scarred, it was a mark that reminded him forever. He even remembered how he threatened her with Queena's life so that she would give birth to their child, Sophia.

When he learned that she was divorced, Javion was overjoyed and even sent people to bring back her and their daughter. But what did that woman do?

She put a knife on her neck and forced him to leave with her life. She didn't even allow him to come in contact with their daughter Sophia!

She hated him to the extent that she also hated their daughter Sophia! So she even beat and scolded Sophia and didn't let Sophia continue her studies after high school. After she found out that he wanted to contribute money, she even dislocated her arm. She didn't allow him to treat Sophia well, nor did she allow him to help with Sophia's finances. He could only watch as she abused their daughter and herself. When she was ill, he brought in the best doctor in the world, but she refused it.

Everyone said that she died out of misery, but he knew precisely how she died.

She wanted to perish together with him, but in the end, she vomited blood in anger.

Mango looked a little like her grandmother. Even after plastic surgery, her beautiful eyes were similar to her grandmother's.

Javion's emotions fluctuated over and over again, but in the end, his face darkened and he did not say a single word.

Mango said sarcastically, "What's wrong? Didn't you say that you were in love with each other? Yet you have nothing to say now? You spent so much effort to obtain my grandmother, yet you don't care about my aunt. You've lived your entire life like a dog."

"Mango, don't think that I don't dare to kill you!"

Javion's veins popped. Obviously, he was infuriated.

He hadn't been this angry for many years.

Mango's temper was really like her grandmother's, spiteful and stubborn.

As Mango was about to continue rebuking him, Zion tugged at her and whispered, "Grandpa, I'm sure you have a purpose by bringing us here. If I guess correctly, you want to use us to threaten my dad and uncle, as they both care deeply for my mom. As long as my mom is here, they couldn't do anything to you. So even if my dad managed to rescue Uncle Walter, in the end, they would still have to submit to you, wouldn't they?"

Hearing Zion's rational words, Javion couldn't help but feel a trace of admiration for the boy.

"What a clever child."

"Thank you for the compliment."

Zion was very polite. Compared to Mango, he appeared calm and composed.

Hence, Javion couldn't help looking at him twice.

"Since you are being so transparent, what are you trying to negotiate with me?"

Javion didn't dare to treat Zion like an ordinary child. Although he was smiling, there was a hint of caution in his eyes.

Zion didn't reject but smiled and said, "My mom and I are a little hungry. Bring us some food and let us rest for a while. Whether it's my dad or uncle, they'll find out that my mom and I are missing when they return home. I'm sure you've captured us for a reason, but I don't think we'll be able to reach an agreement in a short amount of time. We're not familiar with this place and naturally won't run away, so I'm just trying to gain some benefits for both of us."

"That's it?"

"Of course. I have confidence in my dad."

Zion couldn't help but smile.

Javion suddenly felt that Zion was pretty likable.

"Well, I'm afraid that you won't dare to eat the food I prepared for you."

"There is nothing to be afraid of. We know that you can plant parasites. My dad is the master of Longford County. Although I don't have any Golden Lancehead Venom on me, I can still protect my mom. Besides, I don't think you will do that to us, grandpa."

Zion's words made Javion slightly startled. He asked, "Why do you think so?"

"Because my mommy is the granddaughter of the woman you love. For the sake of my greatgrandma, you won't hurt my mom."

Javion was stunned for a moment, and then laughed.

"Nathaniel does have a good son!"

"Thank you for the compliment."

Zion was unfazed as he said this, and he didn't look like he was kidnapped at all. Compared to the other servants in the room, they all looked terrified and weren't even as composed as a child. Javion's expression couldn't help but darken a little.

"Didn't you hear him? Go and get ready some food! Why did I even keep a bunch of fools like you!"

Javion's dissatisfaction made everyone a little scared.

Seeing the fear in their eyes, Mango could guess Javion's usual attitude towards the servants. She didn't know what kind of man Javion was. But as she heard what Zion said, she knew that Zion must have something up his sleeves, so she didn't object to it.

The food was quickly arranged, and Mango was hungry as well. She and Zion walked over and picked up their cutleries to eat. Surprisingly, Javion also came to the dining table and had a meal with them. Putting aside the strange atmosphere, the three of them ate in a rather harmonious manner.

Mango didn't eat much. She didn't know if it was because the food wasn't to her liking or something else, but she only ate a few slices of mangoes.

When Javion saw her holding the mango, he was slightly stunned, and a trace of complicated emotion suddenly flashed across his eyes.
