The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)
Chapter 1657

What the hell was this?

Was he admitting this by keeping quiet?

Carlson frowned immediately at this thought.

He hated to deal with people such as Brenson and Kingston. They could explain everything that happened clearly, but they chose to convey their message in a mysterious way. Eventually, he had to guess what they were trying to say himself.

In fact, he had the same thoughts as Dennis. No one could catch up with Dennis' speed, but Dennis had failed to catch up with the dark figure. This meant that the person was actually present in the yard, and he was not the only one.

Therefore, Carlson thought of Brenson immediately.

When he knocked on the door and entered, he saw that Brenson had closed his eyes, and the latter said plainly, "What do you want to ask? Go think about it yourself. I'm tired." "What? I haven't spoken yet."

"I don't want to hear it. Also, I won't tell you anything even if you asked about it. Just do what you want to do. Youngsters like you should have some courage."

After hearing what Brendon had said Carlson caught the meaning behind his words.

"Will you not care even if I make a mess out of Santell Capital?"

"You are already a grown-up, and I'm sure you can take responsibility for your own actions."

Brenson's vague expression made Carlson feel distressed.

"Well, since you're old, you should have a good rest. You'd better not intervene in things that you aren't supposed to. Also, please tell Kingston that I might offend him a bit."

"He's been in the army for his entire life, so he probably is more aware of the current situation than you are. Just leave. Don't disturb my rest."

Brenson started to chase him away.

After that, Carlson came out feeling a little depressed. Just then, he saw Sissaye standing there, as if she was waiting for him.

"Sissaye? Why are you here?"

"Zion said you were here."

Well, Sissaye really liked her daddy.

After all, her dad would buy her anything she wanted without needing her to tell him about it. Sometimes, she would just take a second glance at the desired item and it would be in her room the next day. Besides, Carlson would play with her no matter how busy he was. Furt ermore, he would always take time to accompany her and mommy every day.

Sissaye felt that this was too good to be true now!

Now that she saw Carlson, she hurried over.

"Daddy, mommy asked if you're going home for dinner?"

"I have something to do and won't go back for the time being. You and mommy have a good meal and don't have to wait for me. However, I will return early to accompany you guys." Carlson instantly picked her up as he said this.

Sissaye was chubbier than when she first came back, so she looked a lot better now.

Then, Sissaye wrapped her arms around his neck and bit her lower lip while saying, "Can I invite Zion over for dinner with us?"

"I'm afraid not. Zion has something to work on."

Carlson knew that Zion would definitely inform Mango immediately after they had found Zion. By then, Mango would probably hurry over on a helicopter.

She would probably arrive at midnight, and Zion would stay by Lucas' side until then.

On the other hand, Sissaye was a little disappointed.

Carlson was a little upset after seeing this, so he said hurriedly, "Well, you can invite Zion over this weekend, okay?"

"All right!"

She immediately brightened up.

Carlson hugged her and personally brought her home. He then whispered a few words to Tessa.

Sissaye was very happy to see her daddy and mommy being so close to each other.

This was what a family should be like.

Meanwhile, Zion felt a little uncomfortable when he saw how sweet they were.

On the other hand, Lucas still didn't wake up. Zion put his finger under his nose several times to check that he was breathing. Finally, he breathed a sigh of relief when he felt Lucas' breath.

The more he thought about it, the more frightened he felt. Hence, he quickly took out his phone and reported the good news to Mango. He told her that Lucas had been found and also the details of Haniya's identity.

After hearing this, Mango was extremely shocked.

She was taken aback by Haniya's identity. Furthermore, she felt like crying after hearing about Dennis' identity.

They were Dennis's closest family members, but he didn't tell them about it. It was obvious how much pressure Dennis had been under.

"I will go back as soon as possible. Zion, please stay with your brother during this period of time and wait for me to arrive."

"Okay. Mommy, don't worry. Uncle Carlson is here too. We should be fine."

Even though Zion had said so, Mango still couldn't calm down.

How could Lucas be alright?

If he was really okay, he would not be kidnapped by others.

Despite so, so she nodded and agreed upon hearing Zion's reassurance. Then, she hung up the phone and went to prepare.

On the other hand, Zion didn't know what to do after putting down the phone, so he called Wisdom again.

Ever since Zion arrived at the base, he hadn't been able to make many phone calls. One was due to the base's security. The other was because of his busy schedule. Now that Zion was on holiday, Wisdom had started studying again. Hence, Wisdom was slightly taken aback when he received Zion's call.

"Zion?" "Bro, what are you doing?"

After hearing Wisdom's voice, Zion's tone immediately softened.

Wisdom smiled and said, "I just finished school, and I plan to sort out the class notes that we got today. Do you miss me?"

"Yes!"

Zion didn't put on airs and hurriedly said, "Do you know that Lucas has been kidnapped?"

"What?"

Wisdom was introduced by Bettany to a medical professional because of his exceptional knowledge and skills. He used to live in his tutor's home besides going to school. He only came back one day on the weekend, so he knew nothing about Lucas' disappearance.

"What's going on? Who kidnapped him? Do mommy and daddy know about this? I'll book a ticket to the Santell Capital right away!"

Wisdom wanted to hang up. However, Zion said quickly, "Don't worry, we've found him, and he's right next to me. I've already informed mommy about this, but she's in Angolla right now and can't be here in time. However, I'm a little unsure if I can take care of Lucas alone. Can you come and keep me company? Also, don't tell Rita about this."

Since Rita loved playing the piano, Mango sent her to an elite academy for further education. However, she would only come back once a week because Mango wanted her to be more independent. Now that she thought about this, she could meet Wisdom if she came back now."

On the other hand, Wisdom obviously understood what Zion meant.

"I know. I told her that I will be going to Santell Capital to attend an academic seminar, so I'm sure she won't be suspicious."

"Alright, I'll be waiting for you."

"Got it."

After hanging up, Wisdom saw Rita coming in the room.

"Wisdom, you came back earlier than me today."

Rita had grown taller in the past two years. She was also very pretty, and she looked as beautiful as a princess.

Wisdom smiled and replied, "Yes, but I'll be leaving soon."

"Huh? Where are you going? I'm actually looking forward to having fun with you though."

Rita suddenly felt a little upset.

Zion always stayed in the base, and he rarely returned. Now, she finally got Wisdom to spend some time with her, but he was leaving now too.

However, Wisdom quickly comforted her by saying, "There is an academic seminar that I want to go to. You know that I am very interested in these, right?"

"All right."

Rita nodded, while Wisdom patted her shoulder and walked out. At this moment, the phone at home suddenly rang.
