The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)
Chapter 1687

For the first time in his life, Frank felt a sense of resentment towards the teachings of his family.

How could he not be angry?

How was that possible?

Carmel was the only child he would have in his life!

He was so happy when Carmel was born. For the first few years of Carmel's life, he gave everything to her and even imagined what kind of teacher he would hire for his daughter when she grew up. However, everything ended one summer's day.

He lost his daughter.

At that time, Nanny Liu was almost crazy. If not for the glimmer of hope she had, she would have died long ago.

His wife and daughter suffered so much pain to uphold the belief of the Liu family.

As a husband and father, what had he done for the two women in his life?

Javion was devastated. Nanny Liu nearly fainted from how much she was crying, but Carmel's eyes were just red and she didn't shed a tear.

She had already passed the age where she needed her mother's care.

What she had experienced over the years was like a nightmare and it tormented her at the very beginning.

She dared not sleep at night in the welfare home. When she closed her eyes, her thoughts were filled with her adoptive father's ugly face and the fierce look of her adoptive mother.

She was afraid and sad, so she did not dare to be with other children. She was afraid that they would know her secrets, but the more she behaved like this, the more the children would bully her. She didn't dare to fight back for fear that she would be driven out by the dean if she hurt someone.

"Where can I go after I get kicked out?"

There was not a single place in the world that was her home.

Until Kingston appeared.

He went to the welfare home to pick up several children to train as secret agents.

At that time, Kingston clearly told the children that he could give them the best food and clothing. At the same time, they had to do the most painful job in the world and they had to abandon their past. From the day they left the welfare home, they no longer had their former identities. Their sole purpose was to be used as a pawn and a weapon.

They would do whatever the higher-ups required them to do. If they needed to fight on the battlefield, they would do so without any objections. If they needed to marry into a wealthy family, they wouldn't be able to resist.

Many children didn't want to live like this, but Carmel wanted it badly.

She couldn't wait to abandon her former identity and give herself a new life. She could use her own strength and live her own life.

So she became Sloane, the registered daughter of the dean.

She didn't know if she was in danger or not. After everything was done, there was an earthquake before she could leave with Kingston and the whole city was filled with screams.

At that moment, she thought that she was going to die. Maybe she really didn't deserve to have a new life, but Kingston saved her at the critical moment.

Carmel felt as if she had been reborn after she was rescued by Kingston from the welfare home.

Except for the hard training sessions, she was completely free at other times. Moreover, Kingston cared for and loved her like a

grandfather.

She still remembered when she joined the army at the age of eighteen, Kingston personally made her a table full of delicious food and accompanied her for the whole night. An old man like Kingston actually took her to all the entertainments venue that she had longed to go to but did not dare to do so. He even took her to eat all of the street food that she couldn't eat usually.

She remembered that Kingston's eyes were teary when she got on the truck that was heading to the military area.

At that moment, she cried and called him grandfather. Kingston waved his hand and said, "Silly girl, I'll be waiting for you to come back."

Kingston had given her the family life that she longed for.

Her life was saved by Kingston and she owed him her life. This was why Carmel completely collapsed when she learned that she was the descendant of the Liu family.

How could it be?

But Kingston's gaze looked so complicated that she knew it was true.

When a Liu family member was caught by Nathaniel, Kingston secretly found someone to take the man's blood and did a DNA test with

Carmel. Everything was exposed then.

Carmel felt guilty towards Kingston, her military title, and her brothers and sisters who treated her well.

Kingston told her that Carmel had died in the earthquake when she was eight years old, and she would be named Sloane because she survived. If she felt that this mission was too difficult, she didn't have to go.

But Carmel knew that she had to come.

These were her roots!

Her parents were here!

Even if she wanted to destroy the Liu family, she had to do it by herself!

At first, she thought that her cold heart would not be affected, but Nanny Liu cried so hard that she almost lost consciousness. This made Carmel's eyes flash with a trace of sympathy and complicated emotions.

She could clearly feel how sad Nanny Liu was, but she didn't feel the same.

Perhaps she was too cold-hearted.

The Liu family was indeed merciless and terrifying.

Carmel allowed Nanny Liu to hold her and cry. Finally, Nanny Liu cried until she completely passed out and Carmel took her back to the room.

Rachel suddenly held Carmel's arm when the latter walked past.

Her eyes were red and there were even tears rolling down her face. However, she said in a low voice, "Carmel, you did it on purpose, didn't you? You saw your mother standing behind me, but you didn't say anything. You deliberately said it out loud to make her sad and to condemn me, didn't you? What are you plotting? How can you set up your own family? Carmel, you're part of the Liu family now and we share the same bloodline! What are you doing?"

Rachel stared at Carmel as if she wanted to read the younger girl's mind, but Carmel was completely calm.

She just looked at Rachel and said faintly, "If you think that I'm not sincere, then so be it. Maybe I'm just lying or telling you a story."

After that, Carmel broke away from Rachel and carried her mother into the room. She saw that Frank's eyes were also red as if he knew everything.

She glanced at the door that was just closing and placed Nanny Liu next to Frank. "I'm going back to my room." "Carmel, your mom missed you so much all these years. Have you seen the scars on her arm? They are her self harm scars and she hated that she failed to protect you. You and your mom had suffered a lot over the years, but please don't hate us. I'll give you whatever you want. I can even give you my life, but please don't hate us! Carmel, your words are like stabs to our hearts. No parent would be able to bear it if their daughter suffered so much, but we can't turn back time. We couldn't be with you as you suffered so much, but please give us a chance to atone for our sins, okay?"
