The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye) novel Chapter 1359

"Mango, are you still there?"

Magnolia didn't hear Mango's reply. She thought that the signal was not good, so she hurriedly asked.

"Oh, I'm here."

Mango immediately regained her senses and replied, "Auntie, who is Tristan? Is he someone that we can trust? I heard that Laborn is trying to get Tristan on his side too."

"He controls all of the Acker family's business, and now he has expanded his business overseas as well. Hence, he's extremely rich! Laborn didn't manage to obtain any of the mines, and the international treasury is running out of money. Hence, he hopes that someone can replenish his funds. Thus, right now, Tristan is probably the person that can help him out the most. But, you shouldn't worry about this because Tristan will take care of this problem."

After hearing Magnolia's words, Mango asked once again, "What business does he do?"

"He trades medicine, medical equipment, medicinal products. Furthermore, he's also studying how to treat cancer and some other complicated diseases. Nowadays, people are afraid of dying, and the rich even hope to live long lives, so he's making a lot of money from this industry. However, Tristan is someone that shouldn't be underestimated as well. He's a professor in medicine, and he's also studying various medical fields, so he's a rare genius indeed!"

Well, Mango had rarely heard Magnolia speak so highly of someone. Hence, Mango found Magnolia's words hards to believe because the latter was praising Tristan a bit too much.

"Aunt, have you seen it with your own eyes? Perhaps Tristan only keeps people who praise him around his side!"

"Nah, that's impossible."

After hearing Magnolia's determined answer, Mango didn't want to say anything else. However, she became more curious about who Tristan actually was.

"Well, I'll hang up and go to visit Lebanon then."

"Okay. If something happens to him, ask him to visit Tristan."

After hearing this, Mango nodded and hung up the phone.

At that moment, Prisca had returned. When she saw that Mango was deep in thought, she immediately whispered, "Are you worried about Lebanon?"

"Yeah, I am."

Mango knew that Prisca was on Lebanon's side, so she did not hide the truth from her.

"Let's go to Lebanon's palace together and visit him then."

"Nah, I'll go there myself. You should stay here. After all, if Laborn's subordinates come here, you wouldn't be able to explain your actions."

Mango recalled that Laborn had suddenly sent over someone to find over where Priscilla was. Hence, what would happen if Laborn decided to take action again?

On the other hand, Prisca never thought about this, Thus, when she heard Mango's words, she couldn't help but nod her head in agreement.

"Okay, you should be careful then."

"All right."

After saying that, Mango left through the secret passageway and arrived at the Lebanon Palace. Meanwhile, Lebanon was about to go out and look for them. Thus, he was worried when he saw Mango.

He pulled Mango in and asked his subordinate to go out to watch over this place. Then, he asked softly, "Are you alright?" "I'm fine."

"Where is he?"

Lebanon was referring to Nathaniel when he asked this question.

Then, he sighed in relief when he heard Mango saying that Nathaniel was fine.

"Alas! I don't know what's wrong with my father. He never blamed me for anything, but he came to see me today. If you were here, you might have met him. Urgh! It was too dangerous."

At the thought of this, Lebanon broke out in cold sweat.

However, Mango was not in the mood to talk about this. Instead, she quickly asked, "Lebanon, is your body alright?"

"I feel just find, what's wrong?"

Then, Mango told him what happened to Henry.

After hearing this, Lebanon's face turned pale.

"Urgh! Bernard! He's such a b*stard!"

Lebanon was so angry that he wanted to kill Bernard immediately, but this was not the right time to do so.

After that, Mango said with a concerned expression, "Don't you understand? I'm worried about you! If he could poison Henry, he could probably poison you as well. Furthermore, I've already confirmed that Aunt Magnolia must have been poisoned as well. However, the results aren't out yet, so I'm here to tell you about this."

On the other hand, Lebanon was not worried about losing his life.

He whispered, "Even if I'm poisoned, it's impossible to find a doctor now. Mango, this is the palace, and there are too many people in it. So, you will never know who's on your side. Once you've seen a doctor, everyone in the palace could probably find out that I've been poisoned! If my father decides to imprison me by saying that he's trying to cure my illness, I can't do anything about it! Do you understand?"

After hearing this, Mango looked at Lebanon's dejected expression and couldn't help but feel a little sad.

Well, Lebanon was tired of his life, right?

Perhaps he had been tired of living since Alfre had died. However, he had managed to stay alive till today because of the hatred that he had. Alas! If he knew that Magnolia was the one who plotted Alfred's death, could he bear the truth?

Mango did not know the answer to this question, but she didn't dare to tell Lebanon the truth as well.

Then, she whispered, "Perhaps there is another way. Aunty told me that you can go to find Tristan because he is her subordinate."

"Huh? Are you talking about Tristan Acker?"

Lebanon was stunned for a moment before he looked at Mango in disbelief.

"Did my mother really say that?"

"Yeah, that's right."

"Huh? Did you manage to get in touch with my mother?"

After all, Angolla was under a lockdown, so now one could contact people from overseas. Thus, they could only get in touch with the rest of the world using their exclusive communication lines. Therefore, Lebanon was a little surprised when he heard that Mango could get in touch with Magnolia.

However, Mango whispered in reply, "Nah, Nathan did it. He managed to hack through the communications systems and find a way to call someone outside Angolla. However, we can spend too long on the phone, and we can only make one call every day."

"I see. What else did my mom say?"

Lebanon had always wanted to get in touch with Magnolia, but he could reach out to her. Hence, sow that he had heard about how Magnolia was doing, he couldn't help but ask about her.

Meanwhile, Mango shook her head and replied, "She didn't say anything else. However, this means that Tristan is someone we can trust, so you should use him without worrying too much."

"Hmm... Tristan Acker, huh?"

Lebanon read this name and frowned slightly. No one could guess what his thoughts her.

After all, Prisca had talked about Tristan as well. Lebanon didn't understand why such a genius like Tristan would have helped him in the past, but he understood why now.
