The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye) novel Chapter 1088

"Wasn't Laney targeting Alfred since the beginning?"

"No, I heard from Noah in the police station that Lebanon was the initial target of Laney and Bernard. Although Lebanon didn't fight for his power, Lexis took action against him because it had been exposed on social media that Lebanon was too close to you. Plus, Lexis knew your background and he was afraid that Lebanon would have the intention of regaining his power. Bernard just didn't expect that Alfred would replace Lebanon to the meeting."

Nathaniel's words shocked Mango.

Alfred did not have a deep impression of him in her mind, and she could not even remember what the man looked like. Now, hearing Nathaniel's words, Mango felt that the man truly loved Lebanon.

"I think Alfred was his last straw..."

"Yes, the royal conflicts have always been cruel. Lebanon was almost poisoned to death when he was very young. The others still have their own mother by their side to plan for them, but Lebanon didn't. What's more, in front of the president, he seems to be an unfavored child. If he wants to live, he has to put in more effort than the others. He also has to endure more. It isn't easy for him to become an adult. He doesn't want to die in the conflict, so he chose to leave. He would rather live in the slum than go back to his palace. However, he met Alfred in the slum."

Nathaniel told her what he had knew.

"Alfred accompanied Lebanon throughout his adolescence. They left Angolla together and developed in B City. From lack of connections to a big shot in the entertainment industry, people could only see Lebanon's successful faqade, but they couldn't see through the hardship that both Alfred and Lebanon had suffered. It can be said that Alfred was Lebanon's brother, lover, and friend. He played too many roles in Lebanon's life, but Alfred died for him in the end. I would be surprised if Lebanon hadn't become evil."

Upon hearing Nathaniel's words, Mango sympathized with Lebanon.

"Since he has grown up and had left Angolla, why didn't he come to look for me at that time?"

Hearing Mango's question, Nathaniel could not help but laugh, "Haha! Who were you back then? You were just a daughter of the Shen family. Although the Shen family enjoyed having the reputation of being a family of scholars in Ocean

City, it's still useless. Furthermore, we didn't know at that time you were the granddaughter of the Xiao family. He has got nothing to do with you back then so why would he want to look for you?"

"You're right. I almost forgot. Hahaha!"

Mango immediately broke into laughter.

"By the way, speaking of the Shen family, how is Arsenio and his wife now?"

Mango did not intentionally inquire about the Shen parents, but since they talking about this topic, she asked casually.

Seeing that there was no sadness in her eyes, Nathaniel whispered, "Gisella didn't get the kidney in time and passed away not long after that. I heard that there wasn't even a person collecting the body. The hospital had requested Arsenio and his wife to claim the body, but unfortunately, both of them did not buy it. They said that Gisella was not their daughter, and they didn't care."

Speaking of this, Nathaniel snorted coldly. Obviously, he did not like them.

Mango was also sighing.

When the Shen parents thought that Gisella was his own daughter, they were willing to give up everything for her. They even planned to destroy Mango for the sake of Gisella.

However, once the truth was exposed and they knew that Gisella was not related with them, they were so heartless and abandoned Gisella.

The Shen parents were just inhumane and unsympathetic. Even the pet owners knew what to do after their pet died, let alone a human who had treated them so well.

Mango shook her head and sighed, "Then, what happened to Gisella's body at last?"

"No one claimed it in the morgue so the hospital had to pay for the cremation themselves. Therefore, the hospital had no choice but to look for the local police to deal with this matter. However, this was not managed by the police. But eventually, the police paid for it. It was unknown where the ashes were scattered though."

Nathaniel said indifferently and his tone was bleak.

Gisella completely deserved it.

Everyone chose the paths by themselves. Since Gisella had chosen this path, she should know that her choice would not lead to a happing ending.

Mango did not expect Gisella to end up like this. It was the most pitiful way to die indeed...

She sighed and said nothing.

Nathaniel continued, "Since Arsenio and his wife knew that Gisella was dead, they still hadn't given up. They asked someone to bring a message to see you. They said they were wrong and were bewitched by Gisella, so they did those bad things to you. They hoped that you can forgive them as they had raised you up for so many years. I didn't want to let you hear these, so I asked someone to send the messenger away."

Mango was slightly startled.

She could not believe it. How could Arsenio and his wife use this to emotionally blackmail her?

Did they want her to help them out from the prison?

What were they thinking?

Did they really think that Mango was someone who was easily manipulated? They thought that she had no temper?

"I've really broadened my horizons."

Mango smiled bitterly, but she did not feel any discomfort.

Nathaniel breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that she was in a good mood.

"You won't blame me for making the decision for you, will you?"

"No, I don't wanna see them for the rest of my life. They really taught me a lesson."

Mango shook her head.

Nathaniel smiled, "You can't see them either. I've asked the people in the prison to intentionally have a quarrel with them. Arsenio had inadvertently stabbed someone and his sentence was increased. He would probably die in prison. As for Mrs. Shen, I heard that there was something wrong with her heart and she wanted to be released on bail, but I arranged someone to reject it."

"Woah! You are really not going to let them live, huh."

Mango smiled faintly.

Nathaniel said coldly, "Ha! If I let them live, they will probably hurt you and our children. It's better to let them stay in where they are now."

"That's true."

Mango nodded.

Neither two of them uttered a word this time.

The news on the TV was still broadcasting, but Lebanon did not do anything radical. He was in the crowd, taking a menacing glance at the arsenal and left after a while.

Mango suddenly felt that she should meet Lebanon.

After all, Magnolia had helped her twice.

"Nathan, do you think that meeting Lebanon today

will bring him trouble?"
