The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)
Chapter 1663

Lydia's heart sank when she heard this.

"Dad, do you want the Bell family to not have any descendants like how Diego did?"

"I don't want to, but the Bell family has done so many evil things these years, so do you think we can still keep our descendants?"

Kingston had opened his eyes because he felt heartbroken as he said this.

No one felt worse than him.

He had been wise all his life. However, Diego had ruined the honour and merits that his other two sons had brought to the family. Furthermore, he had tainted the family's reputation as well!

He knew better than anyone else that if this incident blew up, the Bell family would not be able to escape. Also, not even Brenson could help anymore.

Now that so many years had passed, was there really anyone who was innocent in the Bell family?

The Bell family would be destroyed, and no one could escape when the investigation started, including Lydia.

He knew that Lydia had been wronged over the years, but she had also done some bad things for the sake of the child and to help Diego. In fact, he knew that Diego was in charge of all these things. Hence, neither of them could escape.

Maybe it was because of this, Lydia intended to meet Haniya one last time even before the latter was awake.

Right now, Kingston had mixed feelings.

Lydia was stunned for a moment, and then she understood what Kingston meant. She smiled bitterly and said, "So, now, does that mean that the higher-ups know who Haniya is?"

"Do you think we could hide it from Brenson and Master Mo?"

Kingston's words had broken all of Lydia's hopes.

She finally understood what was going on.

So she could not keep her daughter, could she?

No!

She couldn't allow this to happen!

She was the one who had done all these evil things these few years, but her daughter was innocent!

In fact, she had sent her daughter away because she hoped that the latter could live her own life. But why had she failed in the end?

She had been separated from her daughter for twenty years, but her daughter had not been living a stable life. Hence, why had Lydia been living for the past years?

At this thought, Lydia suddenly broke down in tears.

Kingston felt upset when he saw his daughter-in-law acting this well. Hence, he turned his head and looked into the darkness. He knew dawn would break soon, and it was time for the Bell family to fall as well. Instead of letting others expose the Bell family, it was better to...

Kingston's eyes flashed, and he felt a little suffocated, but he still opened his mouth.

"You have evidence against that bastard, Diego, don't you?"

"Dad?"

Lydia was completely frightened when she heard this.

Kingston had never been at home and had always been by Brenson's side. They all thought that he did not know anything about the family. But since he knew about it now, did that mean that Brenson had an idea of it also?

Thoughts were running through Lydia's mind.

Kingston said faintly, "Don't be nervous. You and Diego have had no feelings for each other for a long time. You've lost faith in him because he tried to hurt your child continuously, right? However, both of you haven't divorced yet for your own interest. I don't believe that you're sincerely hoping the best for the Bell family. You guys are just using each other to ensure that you can survive, right?"

Lydia was shocked after hearing this, but she also admired him.

Indeed, Kingston had seen through everything.

However, Kingston knew that his speculation was right before she could say anything.

It was a tragedy how a sweet and loving family had become like this. Their home was now filled with conspiracies and evil schemes.

Kingston had to admit that he had failed, but he knew that now was not the time for him to lament over the loss.

"You don't have to be surprised or nervous. After all, the defeat of our family is inevitable, so you should prepare yourself mentally."

Lydia was stunned after hearing this, but she did not say anything.

Dying with the Bell family sounded like a good idea.

After all, she was sick of living.

If it weren't for Haniya, she would have given up on herself a few years ago.

Then, Kingston sighed and said, "It's been almost thirty years since you joined the Bell family. Although our family owes you, in the end, I still need your help."

"Don't say that, dad. Just let me know if you need anything. I will definitely help you with it."

Kingston felt even more upset after hearing what Lydia had said.

"I don't have anything else that I need to you help with. When you meet Master Mo, I just want you to speak up about the misdeeds that the Bell family and Diego have done to the country and its people."

"Dad!"

Lydia was immediately taken aback when she heard this.

Once these things were revealed, Diego would die without a doubt. Since her two children were involved, she would indefinitely be placed in jail as well.

Right now, Lydia didn't know what to do.

"Dad, to be honest, I can't wait for Diego to die, and I even want him to die a painful death!

However, Hattie is also your granddaughter. She and her husband helped Diego a lot, but I can't betray my daughter!"

Lydia pleaded and tugged at Kingston's sleeve, as tears filled her eyes.

However, Kingston looked at her and said slowly, "Hattie is your daughter. Although she is not valued, she grew up in the Bell family. She doesn't have to worry about anything in life. She also married a wealthy husband because of our family status. If she abides by her husband, she should be living happily without worries now. However, she insisted on helping that bastard, Diego, with all the wrongdoings. Tell me now, who should we blame for this? If you don't want to betray her, do you want Haniya, who is innocent, to be implicated and prosecuted once she learns about her true identity when she wakes up?" Lydia was suddenly enlightened after hearing this.

She looked at Kingston and immediately understood the meaning behind his words.

"Dad, are you going to save Haniya's life in exchange for the Bell family's?"

Kingston's nose twitched, and tears welled up in his eyes.

He had been strong all his life, but in the end, he was forced to betray the country and his conscience because of the debts of his descendants.

But he was also a grandfather!

Although Hattie deserved the punishment, he felt sorry for Haniya!

Then, Kingston gritted his teeth and seemed to have used up all his strength while saying, "Lydia, the Bell family is done for. Although you think you've done all these wrongdoings secretly, the truth will surface in no time. Why do you think Dennis has managed to hide for more than twenty years? Was he just planning to hand over his team to Master Mo? What about his subordinates who have been sacrificed? Furthermore, do you think that Brenson doesn't know what I know? I've followed him on the battlefield throughout my entire life. Although I've fought so many battles for him, I can't protect the Bell family on my own. Besides, you guys aren't children anymore, so you have to pay the price for your wrongdoings. These are the rules of being an adult. But Haniya is innocent, and Mango and Nathaniel have been protecting her. I'll give up my reputation, and you can protect her by sacrificing the entire Bell family. Do you understand? She is the only innocent person in the family and the only one with a hope of surviving.' Lydia body suddenly collapsed on the seat when she heard this.

At this moment, she didn't know whether she should be glad or regret her decision to send Haniya away twenty years ago.

What should she do now?
