The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye) novel Chapter 1308

Mango had assumed that Nathaniel's contact, Priscilla, would provide timely information. Surprisingly, Magnolia had delivered the information way before Priscilla did.

After recalling her previous speculations, Mango tried not to look surprised and asked, "What is Augustus' true identity?"

"I haven't sorted the information yet, but I can tell you more about it."

Magnolia replied softly and glanced at Mango before she continued.

"Augustus' real name is Atlas, and he is the younger brother of the ruler of Angolla."

Mango noticed that Magnolia sounded uneasy at the mention of Angolla’s ruler.

It seemed that she had made a right guess. The man in black was probably Angolla's ruler.

But didn't Angolla go into a lockdown?

Why did the ruler travel to her country then?

Also, why did he have to torment Magnolia?

Did he do this to rescue Augustus?

Was it all because of his younger brother?

If that was the case, Augustus belonged to the royal family! Thus, how could he live his life as an ordinary person for over thirty years willingly?

Hence, they probably had a reason to stay under the radar all these years!

Mango had a lot of questions racing through her mind at that instance.

Meanwhile, Magnolia had no idea what Mango was thinking, so she said, "I just found out recently that Atlas left Angolla more than thirty years ago. At that time, the ruler kept a tight lid on this information. Later, I heard that he went abroad to further his studies. Since then, there was no news about him, and no one inquired about his whereabouts. As time passed, everyone forgot about him slowly. Furthermore, the ruler had deliberately tried to erase his traces, and no one even saw Atlas' wife! As such, Atlas gradually disappeared without a trace. After so many years, not many people know about Atlas except the ruler's aide, as they were all dead. Hence, Atlas has been safe and sound all these years."

When Magnolia said this, she felt an itch in her throat. Did she catch a cold?

She tried her best to remain casual as she didn't want Mango to notice that she was unwell.

Urgh! Of course, she had gotten a child because she had been exposed to the cold wind while the man had assaulted her.

That man was definitely out of his mind as he paid no heed to her body's condition!

At this thought, a murderous intent flashed across Magnolia's eyes, but it quickly vanished.

On the other hand, Mango was stunned when she heard what Magnolia had said.

She was shocked by Atlas’ identity, but something came to her mind instantly.

"Wait... is Atlas a married man?!"

"Yes, he married a commoner in Angolla. However, Atlas has always been rash. He got married to prove that he was uninterested in the throne, so he hastily married a poor orphan. Thus, the ruler was very concerned about his brother and even felt that he was in Atlas' debt.

Magnolia told Mango everything that she had found out.

In fact, she had found out Augustus' identity much earlier, but she had kept this information to herself. She had planned to use that piece of infomation to bargain for a chance to meet Barack. However, she did not expect the hardhearted man to outright refuse her request.

After all those years living in great misery, she should have known that the man would never be sincere to her. However, she had naively hoped that he would show some kindness because she had stayed by his side for so many years. Clearly, she had expected too much.

Therefore, she had decided that she would ruin his entire plan.

Right now, Magnolia would go all out to make sure he would not succeed.

After all, she had enough of living a life worse than death. Furthermore, she didn't want to be separated from her family, her lover and her son.

Even if Magnolia ended up losing her life because of this, she felt that she could finally be free for once.

On the other hand, Mango had no clue about Magnolia's secret plan. She only had a lot of questions after hearing what Magnolia had said about Augustus.

She felt that a lot of details were interconnected, and she suddenly understood what Magnolia was saying. However, she couldn't connect all the details and understand the whole picture.

In the end, Mango finally gave up.

"Aunt Magnolia, thank you for your effort. It must have been hard for you to find all this information." "Don't mention it. I'm glad that I can help you! To be honest, I have my plans too. I hope to capture Atlas so that he can tell me where Barack is."

Mango was touched after hearing what Magnolia had said.

Both her mother and Magnolia had been separated from their respective lovers their whole lives! Alas! Why were this pair of twins this unlucky?

Mango had no answer to that as she only felt her chest getting heavier.

"I'll find it out for you. Don't worry."

Mango knew that Barack was Magnolia's only motivation for survival. Otherwise, perhaps Magnolia would have died a long time ago.

Mango felt especially sad at the thought of her aunt dying.

The Xiao family's daughters were all faithful lovers, but unfortunately, none of them had a happy ending. On the contrary, Mango felt relieved that her aunt had chosen the wrong husband.

However, she did not dare to stay here any longer. This was because she was afraid that she would end up telling Magnolia what she had seen just now.

Hence, Mango then stood up and said, "Aunt Magnolia, it's getting late now, so you should rest. Tomorrow, I'll ask Lebanon whether he can find out about Atlas' whereabouts from Lilian." "All right."

Magnolia did not stop Mango either.

After all, she was in a bad mood, and she didn't want to deal with Mango. In fact, she might not have been able to suppress her bloodlust if she had not prepared Atlas' information beforehand.

Well, the person she wanted to kill was that man, not Mango.

After all those years, she had thought that she could at least get her way and outsmart that man for once! However, she didn't know that she was only a fool in his eyes!

That feeling did not sit well with her, and it almost drove her crazy.

Then, Magnolia closed the door after sending Mango away.

On the other hand, Mango stared blankly at the closed door and felt a little uneasy as she did not know what Magnolia had in mind.
