The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)
Chapter 782

"I have indeed no idea who you truly are! We've slept on the same bed for so many years yet you've been deceiving me all this while! Delilah Fang, you are so disgusting!" Carter kicked her to the ground.

Delilah held her stomach in pain while she still pretended to be pitiful.

"Carter, please believe me as I've been wronged! I have never done such acts and it must be Sophia and her son that framed me by fabricating the recording! They're scheming against me and I'm telling the truth! Carter, I've been with you for so many years and I don't even have a legal title... Aren't you aware of how well I've treated you?"

Rage pulsed through Carter's veins as he saw how Delilah was still refusing to admit her mistake even at this point.

"You're saying that they fabricated it and they're scheming against you? Delilah, you are the one who wants to hurt them! This is Sophia's blood test report and she's tested positive for a longstanding toxin! Don't even try to deny your relationship with the nurse!" "What? I have no idea! Carter, they've framed against me and yet you don't believe me... There's no point for me to stay alive anymore and I might as well die!"

Having said that, Delilah stood up and she wanted to hit herself on the wall as she thought that someone would stop her. However, both Carter and Thomas just looked at her without having the intention to stop her even after she waited for a moment.

Delilah was so embarrassed at that point.

"Thom, I'm your mother! Do you really have the heart to watch me die?"

Thomas turned his head away as he didn't want to look at Delilah but his hands were clasped together tightly.

On the other hand, Sophia frowned as she was surprised that there was a toxin in her body but she didn't seem panicked or scared.

Mango witnessed this scene when she entered the house.

"Delilah, my men have rescued the nurse and she is currently under my protection. Do you want to confront her?"

Delilah was stunned upon hearing Mango's words as anger flashed across her eyes.

"Mango Shen, don't be a busybody and interfere with other people's affairs just because your husband is Nathaniel. I suggest you get out of the house right now before you get yourself into more trouble!" Mango regarded Delilah's words as an utter joke.

"I honestly have no interest in other people's affairs."

Sophia looked at Delilah and said coldly, "Mango shouldn't be regarded as an outsider as she is my niece and the only outsiders here are you and your son!"

Delilah was so angry that her eyes became red-rimmed with tears as the scheme that she had been planning all these years was about to succeed yet it came to a failure at this moment. "Thom, are you just going to watch your mother getting bullied by these people like this?"

Thomas looked at Delilah as she was the person who gave birth to him and later abandoned him. He thought that his parents had their difficulties and they had no choice but to send him to the orphanage in the past. However, he realized at this moment that his dad had sent him away all for the sake of the Song family's property and he was just a pawn for his parents to achieve their goals.

Thomas had turned a blind eye to the sadness he experienced in the past but he could no longer suppress his emotions at this point.

There was no way he could recover from the harm and trauma that his biological family gave him.

"You'd better come with me to turn yourself in."

At that instant, Delilah became furious after hearing Thomas's words.

"You unfilial son! Why should I turn myself in? Will you be happy to see your mother in jail? You are my son and the child of the Song family yet you went to the Ye Family's house to be their servant for so many years. Have you really turned into a slave after being enslaved by the Ye Family all this while?"

Delilah's words were savage and hurtful.

Mango's brows furrowed at that instant.

"Delilah, mind your language as you can insult others but not Thomas! He is not a servant in the Ye family as he has his own freedom and he has the same status as Nathaniel and I too. Thomas' contract with the Ye Family had ended a few years ago but he refused to leave. Have you ever thought of the reason why he didn't want to return to this place and live with you but preferred to stay in the Ye Family with Nathaniel instead? Have you ever done anything for him as his mother throughout these years other than giving birth to him?" "The relationship between Thomas and I is none of your business!" Delilah roared at Mango directly.

She became hysterical as no one here was siding with her, including the influential figures.

Thomas frowned subconsciously and he protected Mango behind him without anyone noticing.

"Mom, do you really think that others can do nothing with you if you don't admit your mistakes at this point? It isn't a big deal that you're covetous but you even committed a murder... Novalee is dead and don't try to act as if you have no clue how she died."

"I have no idea what you're talking about."

Delilah turned her head away immediately as she didn't want to look at Thomas.

Thomas sighed and said in a low voice, "Mom, Mitchell has been arrested by the police... Do you think a man like him will protect you?"

Delilah was stunned.

"What?"

"I'm serious. Mitchell has been arrested as the evidence is conclusive and it's very likely that he will spill everything that he knows and put all the blame on you to reduce his sentence. Mom, you could perhaps lessen your criminal sentence if

you turn yourself in with me, but no one could save you if you remain obstinate and dishonest."

Delilah felt dejected deep down as Thomas's words sent a chill down her spine.

She looked at Thomas and then at Carter before turning to glance at Walter and Sophia alongside Mango, who was standing at the door. All of a sudden, she began to laugh as tears welled up in her eyes due to her laughter.

"Hahaha! I've planned for so many years and even

"I'll beat you up if you dare to slander my mother again!"

Walter was never good at suppressing his emotions and now that he saw Delilah scolding his mother, he burst with anger in an instant.

Even Carter was disgusted by Delilah.

"Shut up! Sophia isn't as scheming as you."

"Wow, you're defending and speaking for her now, are you? Have you forgotten who was the one that served you and cooked delicious food for you so that you don't feel hungry all these years? It's all me! Delilah Fang! I served you so well yet you still ended up cherishing Sophia more than me... Let me ask you, Carter, do you think that Sophia will return to the Song family if you please her now? That's impossible as this woman is too scheming and she has probably started to act like a madwoman after she found out that we are together! She held on to the title of Mrs. Song without getting divorced with you so that I'll remain a nobody who is indecent and without status! Do you really believe that she discharged from the hospital because she became clearheaded? No, she would've died long ago if she hadn't pretended to be crazy as it would be impossible for her to survive from the drug that the nurse gave her!"

Delilah shouted like a madwoman.

At that point, Walter was so angry that he stepped forward and tried to kick Delilah but someone stopped him.

"Thomas, what are you doing? I don't mind fighting with you if you'd like!"

Walter looked at Thomas with his fierce eyes.

On the other hand, Thomas glared back at him and said coldly, "Delilah may have done something unforgivable and you may despise her but don't you dare hit her in front of me as she is the one who gave birth to me and she's still my mother!"

"Oh, so are you intending to defeat me for your mother's sake?"

Walter did not care about Thomas's intentions or feelings as he had a strong urge to beat Delilah at the moment due to his aversion to her.

Novalee wouldn't have died and Sophia wouldn't have been poisoned if it weren't for Delilah. So, there was no way Walter could show her mercy as his closest friend and family were either hurt or dead because of her.

On the other hand, Thomas was aware that Delilah had gone overboard with her wrongdoings, but it was impossible for him to watch Walter hit his mom as he was still her son after all.

"I guess we have no choice since we're their sons. We can head out for a battle as I have no objection if you insist on fighting."

"Deal, don't think that I'm afraid of you!"

Walter was eager to fight against Thomas but Sophia stopped him.

"Walter, don't stir up any trouble and you shouldn't vent your anger on Thomas as he didn't do anything wrong."

"Mom, why are you still siding with the two of them at this point?"

Rage was pulsing through Walter's veins.

Sophia said in a low voice, "Law exists for a reason and we live in a society that has a legal system, so there is no need for you to fight." "Sophia, don't act as if you're a good person as I still won't forgive you!"

Delilah continued yelling.

At that point, Carter couldn't stand it anymore.

"Shut up, Delilah! I've been cuckolded by you for so many years and how dare you still behave so arrogantly in front of me now?"

"I cuckolded you? Aren't you the one enjoying it? If not, why did you insist on being with me and abandoning your beautiful wife at home? Carter, don't act like a gentleman now as you're just a jerk in Sophia's eyes. Also, it's impossible for you to mend the relationship between you and Walter! I have sow discord between both of you for many years and you must've treated him badly! Do you think that he will forgive you?"

Carter looked at Walter with guilt after hearing Delilah's words but Walter did not glance at him at all and Carter felt even more insecure deep down.

Mango had been staring at Delilah all this while and she noticed from Delilah's actions that she intended to head for the gate after finishing her words, so Mango sneered and said, "Delilah, do you really think that you can escape this place when everyone is watching you? How naive! Oh, did I tell you that the Ye family's and Son family's bodyguards are all standing by outside? I can also call for the Hans family bodyguards for help if you think that there aren't many of them here."

Delilah's expression darkened in an instant.

"Mango, why must you act so mercilessly? Is there a point for you to behave so aggressively when your aunt will be the ultimate winner in this matter? Besides, why are you standing up for Novalee now when you clearly despise her too?"

"I'm not standing up for her and I just made a promise to her before she died. Delilah, the deities are watching over your behavior and actions, aren't you afraid that someone might come to you for revenge while you're sleeping in the night?"

Delilah shivered when she heard Mango's words.

"Quit your nonsense as I'm not afraid at all! Don't try to scare me!"

"Well, it's good to know that you aren't afraid... I wish you a sweet dream tonight."

Mango was all smiles but her beam gave Delilah goosebumps.
