The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye) novel Chapter 1148

Lebanon paused for a while when he heard Mango's question.

Did he want to go back to Ocean City to watch the snow?

This was a good idea, but unfortunately, he could not go there right now.

"Tell me, what is it like during the new year in Ocean City?"

Lebanon lit a cigarette for himself as he asked.

When Mango heard the crisp voice of the lighter from the other end of the line, a sense of loneliness suddenly enshrouded Mango.

Her chest was slightly stuffy too.

"How do you usually spend your time during the new year?"

Mango answered his question with another question instead.

Lebanon narrowed his eyes as he pondered for a moment before answering with a croaky voice.

"When I was young, my nanny would take me to pay a visit to my father. Then, my siblings would go back to their respective chambers and stay there. The commoners would light up the firecrackers. Although the palace would set off firecrackers as well, I guess it didn't manage to blast away the loneliness that I felt."

Mango felt a lump in her throat again when she heard his reply.

"Come back next year if you're free during the new year. Then, you'll find out how the people in Ocean City celebrate the new year."

"Alright."

Suddenly, Lebanon was looking forward to this celebration.

After all, this sounded better than spending the new year alone, right?

Before this, Alfred had been keeping him company. However, he knew that Alfred would no longer be by his side from now on.

Thus, Lebanon started feeling upset at this thought.

"Alright, let's stop here first. I'll send you the data."

After Lebanon finished his words, he hung up the phone.

When Mango listened to the beeping sound coming from her phone, she couldn't help but be overwhelmed by complicated emotions.

Soon, Lebanon sent the data over to her.

Mango looked at it and saw abruptly that the results showed that Bernard and Laney were 99% related.

Although she had already guessed the outcome, she was still dumbfounded when she saw the true data.

Surprisingly, Bernard was really Laney's son!

No wonder Laney was willing to go such lengths for Bernard, and she even hurt Newell in the process. To put it nicely, she didn't think Newell deserved to be Sisi's husband. However, on the other hand, she had forsaken Sisi's happiness to help Bernard.

Thus, Mango couldn't help but sigh now that she knew the truth.

After all, Sisella had longed for the warmth of a family all her life, but in the end, she was just Laney's pawn.

Although Laney had been nice to Sisella for a few days, she obviously didn't feel sorry for Sisella at all, even though the former's life was miserable.

Obviously, Laney had only been bearing with Kolton so that she could create an opening for Bernard.

At the thought of this, Mango couldn't help but shake her head.

Suddenly, Lebanon sent another message to her.

"I already looked into Bernard's biological father. Do you want to know what I found out?"

"Sure, tell me about it."

Mango was curious indeed.

However, Lebanon sent a smiley emoji and then said with slight sarcasm, "Haha! I'm sure you'll never guess who Bernard's biological father is."

Mango was a little stunned, but she still asked, "Who is that?"

"It's my dad."

Mango was so shocked by his words that she dropped her phone on the floor.

"What the heck is going on?"

Brantley threw a glance at Mango. He had gone to the restroom when he noticed that she was on the phone. When he returned, he saw that she was done with the phone call and was playing with her phone, so he sat down opposite her.

Mango had been playing with her phone, but it fell onto the floor all of a sudden. This shocked Brantley immediately, but he became stunned again when he saw Mango's expression. So, he couldn't help but be concerned.

"Nah, it's nothing."

After that, Mango recollected her thoughts and quickly picked up the phone. However, she fell in deep thought when she reread the message that Lebanon had sent.

How could Bernard and Lebanon share the same father?

Was this even true?

Did this mean that Bernard, Lebanon, and Lexis were actually half-brothers?

Mango's eyebrows were tightly knitted as she continued to think about this.

If Bernard was the prince of Angolla, Laney would have a powerful patron and good background. So, why would Kolton bring her back from the orphanage?"

Had this all been a trap since the beginning?

Did she design this trap specifically for Kolton?

If Laney was the wife of the king of Angolla, why would she be sent to Koiton's side?

Did she do that so that she could learn more about the experiment Kolton was in charge of?

In the beginning, Kolton was probably not so keen to work on this experiment. However, he started becoming crazier and more involved in this experiment because of Marissa.

Judging from this, it seemed that Marrisa was also a pawn sent by the king of Angolla, wasn't she?

At the thought of this, Mango broke out in a cold sweat abruptly.

If her guess was correct, did it mean that everything of the Ye Family had been prearranged by someone else? After all, even though Isla had her own ambition, it seemed like she had been married off because she was manipulated by someone else.
