The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)
Chapter 1683

Isaias called for Carmel after he welcomed them home.

"Carmel, let me introduce you to Rachel, your aunt."

Isaias introduced the new leader to Carmel. She was obviously a nurse from the military hospital that Mango was in, as well as the leader of the twelve people.

Carmel stepped forward and took a look at Rachel. She was beautiful, but unfortunately, she had evil intentions.

"Aunt!"

Carmel suppressed her feelings and said in a low voice, but she didn't show much emotion.

Rachel frowned as she looked at Carmel.

"Dad, is this the child that was lost more than 20 years ago?"

Isaiassmiled and said, "Yes. We were in a rush to evacuate Z Country and lost Carmel. Now that we've finally found her, you don't even know how happy your eldest brother is. She is a retired soldier from Z Country. Isn't she very powerful?"

But Rachel looked at Carmel suspiciously and said, "Have you done the DNA test?" "This is the test report. Have a look."

Isaias passed the DNA report to Rachel.

Rachel looked at the numbers on it and looked at Carmel's face. It seemed that Carmel really looked like her eldest brother. She whispered, "Don't blame me for being cautious. After all, our family is in troubled times now. What do you think? Shall we do the DNA test again?"

"Rachel!"

Isaias could not help but scold Rachel when he saw the mocking smile on Carmel's lips.

"I personally found someone to do Carmel's DNA test. Don't you trust me?"

"Dad, that's not what I meant. I just think we need to be cautious at this time."

"I agree. You can do whatever you want. If you want to do it, then you'd better hurry up. I have to go back to see my father."

Carmel's voice was cold and hostile.

Rachel frowned slightly. She didn't like Carmel's indifference, but their family had always been like this.

She didn't know how she felt. She was both dissatisfied and comforted by Carmel's attitude.

As an aunt, Rachel was naturally dissatisfied with her niece's words. But as the future successor of the Liu family, she felt that Carmel was just right.

Rachel felt a mix of emotions, but she still found someone to draw her and Carmel's blood.

Carmel said lightly after that, "Can I go back now?"

"Carmel, don't blame your aunt. She's always out in the field, so it's not wrong to be a little more cautious."

Isaias hurriedly opened his mouth.

Carmel said indifferently, "It's normal. How can I expect an arms dealer like her to have such deep feelings for me? Moreover, I don't think she would be so tired if my dad wasn't paralyzed. She's over 40 years old now, right? Is she married? I admire her so much for sacrificing her whole life for the Liu family."

"Carmel!"

Rachel's expression suddenly changed.

Isaias also felt the tension between Carmel and Rachel, so he couldn't help but speak up.

"Alright, alright. Carmel, go back first. Your aunt has just returned and I have something to discuss with her."

Carmel shrugged and turned to leave.

Rachel said angrily after Carmel left, "Dad, her attitude is..." "Alright, alright. Carmel was left behind for more than 20 years, so it's normal for her to have a grudge against us now. I've investigated and found out that she was taken in by the local foster home after we left. However, she was too afraid without her parents around at the time and caught a fever, so her physical health was poor. Afterwards, an earthquake occurred in that area and all of the children in the foster home were buried. She only managed to crawl out of the rubble after a close shave. She suffered a lot back then. If it weren't for your big brother who had stayed behind and escorted us to leave, he wouldn't have lost both his legs and Carmel wouldn't have been an orphan for so many years. Now that she's back, although she might have had a temper, at least she's back now. You should let it go."

Rachel couldn't help but sigh when the past was brought up.

If her brother had not saved her twenty years ago, he would not have ended up like this and lost Carmel.

"I know, but after all, she has been in the military area so I'm afraid that she's not on our side."

Isaias shook his head and said, "Rachel, you have to believe in kinship. I've seen that Carmel is really good to your brother and sister-in-law, and she is filial to me as well. She once helped us solve the matters between Mango and Nathaniel. She is part of our family, so surely she won't watch her parents die."

"I hope so."

The DNA test still needed time, so Rachel briefly explained the situation to Isaias and then went back to rest.

After Carmel left the hall, she went to her father, Frank's room.

Frank quickly asked when he saw her, "I heard that your aunt is back? How is she?"

Carmel felt a little upset when she saw that Frank cared so much about Rachel.

"You're really worried about her. You lost me because of her more than 20 years ago. I've never seen you treat me like that even after I returned. On the contrary, you're so anxious to see her as soon as she comes back?"

"Carmel."

Nanny Liu couldn't help opening her mouth when she heard her daughter's words.

Frank looked at Carmel with a trace of sadness in his eyes. He whispered, "Your aunt sacrificed too much for the Liu family that year. If it weren't for her, so many people in the Liu family wouldn't have been able to survive. She married the local army chief at that time. In order to save the Liu family, she didn't hesitate to hold her husband hostage and she even fell out with him. She lived a hard life."

"She deserved it! She could live a good life, but she had a death wish. What did the Liu family even do? But I admire the unity of this family and everyone was desperate to abandon everything for the business You're saying that I deserved to be lost back then. Should I be thankful because I survived?"

Carmel told herself not to be angry, but she just couldn't help it.

What kind of weird family was this?

She used to be Sloane, an orphan. She envied those children who had parents because she wanted to be loved. Only after she joined the army did she truly understand what family love was.

Kingston doted on her as if she were his granddaughter and she only felt the warmth of a family in the military region.

But now she finally knew who she was and where she came from. She had never hated her identity so much at this moment.

She was from the Liu family!

If she could choose, she would rather be Sloane

for the rest of her life than Carmel for a single moment!
