The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)
Chapter 1646

Brenson suppressed the pain in his chest as he heard this.

It seemed that he couldn't have a peaceful discussion with his son. After all, the death of his wife was something that Carlson could not get over.

Suddenly, Brenson seemed to have aged a lot.

He sighed and said, "I don't know much about Desmond's matter. Besides, I only ordered Sloane to act as the descendant of the Liu family. In order to gain the trust of the family, she had to do something. Perhaps the Liu family was the one who had ordered her to kill Desmond."

Carlson initially thought that Brenson would be outraged. However, now that Brenson was calm are being furious, Carlson was a little unused to this.

Hence, he was stunned for a moment and frowned slightly.

"Why did the Liu family make this decision?"

"Perhaps he doesn't want Desmond to work for us?"

Carlson scoffed after hearing what Brenson had

said.

"Hah! Do you believe that?"

However, Brenson shook his head and said, "We don't know why the Liu family asked Jose to work on an experiment on Desmond. Nathaniel said that the Liu family wanted to involve other countries in the research. However, we don't know the details. At present, we only know that the members of Liu family do exist, but we haven't seen them. Except for Ezequiel and Javion, the others seem to have hidden himseld. Someone found out other Sloane's identity, and she was intercepted by Mango before she could contact my people. So I really don't know the specific details."

After hearing this, Carlson's frown deepened even more.

"Mango's son is already missing. So what's wrong with her taking action?"

"I didn't mean to blame her, but she didn't have to keep an eye on Sloane either."

"Who else should she pay attention to instead then?"

Carlson felt that the answer was right in front of him, but Brenson stopped speaking.

"It doesn't matter who it is because you can't do anything about it now. You still need to work hard in order to replace my position. Nathaniel gave all his estates to Mango, but he has recently moved them overseas. After all, he is afraid that other parties will notice him. How could you not think of this when Nathaniel had already figured it out?"

Brenson didn't give Carlson the exact answer he wanted most of the time, and he wanted Carlson to understand some things on his own. Sometimes Carlson thought that he was an idiot. If that was true, would Brenson continue to teach him?

"Can't you tell me clearly?"

"No, I can't."

Brenson left after saying that, leaving Carlson alone in the room.

Meanwhile, Carlson was about to go insane.

Why did he have such a father?

Suddenly, he thought of something.

Usually, Brenson would drive him away when he went out, but now he left him alone here. Was there anything in the office that needed his attention?

Carlson quickly came to Brenson's desk and flipped through it. There was nothing else other than some books, and there were only two brushes and a few pieces of calligraphy. However, the ink on them had yet to dry up.

There were two words written on it.

One was Bell, and the other was Powell.

Was this a hint from Brenson?

Was he trying to say that the Bell family and the Powell family were involved in this?

The Bell family was only second to the Mo family now, so they were somewhat coveting Brenson's position. Wasn't the Powell family destroyed because of his aunt? The members of the Powell family were not capable at all! Did that mean that he had missed out on anyone else from the Powell family?

Carlson felt as if his brains were about to explode as he thought about this.

Then, he the office and saw Kingston standing at the door. Kingston greeted him respectfully and said, "Master Mo, take care."

Carlson narrowed his eyes and looked at him. "Kingston, I remember that your surname is Bell, right?"

"That's right."

Kingston nodded in reply.

Carlson's heart skipped a beat after hearing this.

Perhaps Brenson was referring to Kingston?

At the thought of it, Brenson had made many decisions based on Kingston's suggestion. Perhaps Kingston was using Brenson to do something without people noticing. Would that be possible? After all, Carlson heard that Kingston had almost become disabled when he tried to save Brenson. Kingston would often be in pain even while it was raining.

Would such a person betray Brenson?

However, Carlson wasn't too sure when he considered the benefits that Kingston would gain.

Then, he looked at Kingston thoughtfully and walked away.

Kingston locked the door after he left. When he turned around, he saw Brenson standing there while looking at the direction in which the Carlson had left as he was deep in thought.

"Is my son suspicious of you now?"

"Yes."

Kingston looked calm as he answered.

Brenson glanced at him and sighed. "It must've been hard on you."

"It's my fault. After all, I have an unfilial grandson, so I have to trouble you and Master Mo to help me."

Kingston had a frustrated gaze as he said these words.

Brenson looked at his comrade, who had been with him for many years. He patted him on the shoulder and said, "We are all old and the children are all grown up, so they can choose whatever path they want. Since they have chosen, they have to face it. They have to take responsibilities for their choice, no matter whether they have made the correct or wrong choice. So you don't have to blame yourself. I just hope that you will be more optimistic when that day comes."

"I know. It's just that my poor granddaughter has suffered a lot."

Kingston's eyes were filled with tears, but he blinked them back.

Meanwhile, Brenson tried to comfort him in a low voice, "Don't worry, Mango will definitely bring her back."

"Really?"

Kingston was suddenly emotional when he heard this.

Now that so many years had passed, he had rarely gotten emotional. However, he was truly exhilarated upon hearing such a piece of good news.

"Yes, she will! Mango is a trustworthy person.

Furthermore, without her, your granddaughter would have long since passed away."

After saying this, Kingston nodded his head and said in a trembling voice, "Mango is my granddaughter's saviour!"

"That's right."

After that, they exchanged a few more words before leaving the room.

At the same time, an informant told Carlson about this encounter.

Carlson frowned after hearing this.

Who was Kingston's granddaughter?

Could it be Sloane Chapman?

But her last name was Chapman, not Bell.

Just then, he suddenly remembered that Kingston's daughter-in-law seemed to be surnamed Chapman, so Sloane was Kingston's granddaughter?

If that was the case, then it meant that Sloane would not harm Mango, but she would secretly help her.

At this thought, Carlson hurriedly called Zion over.

"Send a message to your mommy. Tell her Carmel's true identity, and also let her find out about Lucas' whereabouts from Sloane."

"Is there any news about my brother?" Zion immediately became excited. However, Carlson shook his head.

"Not yet, but we should have news soon. Tell your mommy first so that she doesn't worry too much.

"All right."

Zion immediately sent a message to Mango.

When Mango found out Carmel's true identity, she was stunned.

After all, Carmel looked ordinary, so Mango never expected her to be the daughter of the Bell family and a member of the military!
