The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)
Chapter 1604

"I'm going to kill him!"

After saying that, Rainie turned around and left. However, she was stopped by Mango, and Tristan smiled upon seeing her reaction.

"That won't do. He's my junior."

When Mango and Rainie heard what Tristan had said, she was stunned.

"Junior? Huh? Do you know each other?"

"Yes, but we're not enemies. It's just that he's quite frivolous and playful. We have the same teacher, but we're experts in different fields. He's good at making poison, so he wanted me to analyze the components of this poison and find an antidote. I'm sure that he simply wants to challenge me, that's all."

Tristan's brows furrowed slightly as he spoke.

"What do you mean?"

Mango was seemingly interested as she pulled Rainie and sat down to listen.

After that, Tristan said in a low voice, "Carlo is from Angolla, and the Foster family is one of the four most influential families here. I heard that his family encountered some troubles lately, and it seems they are looking for me because of this. However, it's not appropriate to approach me heads on. That's why they needed an opportunity and someone to introduce them to us. Perhaps Carlo investigated Rainie's background before choosing her. Furthermore, he tried to get close to her after learning about Thomas' affair."

Rainie was disappointed and upset upon hearing this.

How could she be tricked like this?

What a nuisance!

"Tristan, are you going?"

"Of course. After all, he is my junior, and he has no bad intentions. I guess he has already asked someone to prepare the antidote for Rainie."

Rainie felt somewhat comforted by his words.

"Well, I guess he still has a conscience, after all."

"You too."

Tristan smiled and said, so Rainie was stunned.

"What about me? If I really was a good person, I wouldn't have ended up like this."

"Hey, Rainie."

Just as Mango wanted to comfort Rainie, Tristan interrupted her and said, "I know that I have no say in the matter between you and Thomas. However, since you treat me and Mango as your family, do you mind if I comment on it?"

Rainie and Mango were both stunned. They never thought that Tristan would meddle in this matter.

Then, Mango said calmly, "Thomas has gone too far! Are you trying to speak up for him?"

After that, Tristan looked at her and sighed, "Mango, you're being so decisive."

"Am I? Thomas is the playboy here! Shut the hell up if you want to speak for him."

After saying that, Mango was about to stand up and leave, but she was stopped by Rainie.

"I want to hear what he has to say."

Mango was confused when she heard what Rainie had to say. Hence, she decided to sit down upon seeing Rainie's insistence. However, she was immediately displeased with Tristan's point of view. Tristan knew that Mango cared about Rainie, and they were best friends. However, both of them were too close, so Mango understood how Rainie felt. Hence, they could've missed out on some crucial points. He sat beside Rainie and whispered, "Thomas is a total jerk for doing this, and he deserves it when you called him a playboy and a bastard. However, has he made any other mistakes except for this matter? Rainie, you know him better than I do, right? Thomas is a soldier, an outstanding one, in fact. He has contributed so much to the country, and he is a competent assistant to the Ye family. Furthermore, he has accompanied Nathaniel for many years. He shouldered the burden of the Ye family and tried his best to protect everyone when Nathaniel was sick. He even gave up the opportunity to be promoted after getting married to you. It's true, isn't it?"

"Look, you can't say this, Tristan. We have never forgotten about his previous contributions. However, he committed a mistake, and this affected his marriage."

After hearing this, Tristan's expression became a lot more serious.

"Mango, he did something wrong, but no one is perfect. He is just too obsessed with the idea of having a child. Why don't you think about it? If he really doesn't love Rainie, it's better to divorce her and marry a woman who can give birth to a child. Why does he have to go through all that?"

On the other hand, Mango could not accept his point of view.

"Are you saying that his contributions is enought to offset the damage he had done to Rainie? He made an unforgivable mistake when he allowed Rainie to be bullied and schemed by other woman."

"I admit that he didn't handle this matter well. But Mango, you can't ask everyone to hate Thomas because Rainie is your best friend. After all, this is between the two of them. Please don't get involved in their issues. I won't say a word if they have no feelings for each other and you want to take Rainie away. But look at Rainie, her health is fine, but she's looking so haggard and skinny. Why? This is because she still loves Thomas! She would rather risk her life to try the medicine just to expose Emory's character to Thomas. Is she really doing this for a divorce? Judging from Thomas' character, he will never push his luck if he really has no feelings for her. On the contrary, he is more willing to put his assets on the line! Don't you get it? Did Rainie poison herself just to get back the money after the divorce? Or is it because she wasn't willing to give up on him? What's her main intention? You ought to know this."

Rainie was completely in shock after hearing what Tristan had said.

Was that so?

She didn't do this to get her property back and not to punish Emory either. However, she did this so she could play with Thomas' feelings?

Did she want Thomas to listen to her after she had gone through the sufferings that Emory had put her through?

Was that so?

Suddenly, Rainie felt as if she was suffocating.

On the other hand, Mango was also slightly taken aback by Tristan's words.

She couldn't help thinking of Rainie's personality.

If she really didn't love him anymore, why didn't she divorce him immediately? Why would she be beating around this bush this way?

So was she the one who was wrong?

In fact, Rainie didn't want to get a divorce at all?

Mango suddenly felt that she had done something wrong.

Her hatred for Thomas had gotten utterly out of control every time she heard Rainie's complaints. She even asked Nathaniel to boycott Thomas. After all, to her, Thomas was a complete bastard!

In fact, she was well aware of Thomas' contributions. However, she only saw the pain and suffering that Rainie had felt, so she disregarded the bigger picture. If Rainie didn't allow this to happen, who would be able to hurt her any longer?

She was afraid that Rainie would kill Emory and beat the latter into pieces!

So in the end, she had crossed the line.

At this thought, Mango felt a little upset. Then, she knew that Tristan was right after looking at Rainie's pale and listless eyes.

After all, Rainie could not tolerate Thomas's behavior, but she was reluctant to divorce him. It looked as if she wanted a divorce, but in fact, she was actually trying to save their marriage.
