The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye) novel Chapter 1368

"If his father didn't know that his son had changed his nationality, how did you find out about this then?"

Mango felt that Islas words did not make sense, so she immediately questioned.

However, Isla was not angry, and she said very calmly, "When Tristan returned from studying overseas, the king intended to use his identity to suppress him force let him work in the military institute. Unfortunately, Tristan refused and said that he was not from Angolla, so it was unreasonable for him to work in the military research institute of Angolla. At that time, everyone knew that he had changed his nationality out when he was 16. He wasn't the head of the Acker family at that time, but he had still made such an important decision secretly! Thus, people became wary and suspicious of him. made people wary and suspicious. Later, the king sent several people to investigate Tristan, but they didn't find anything. Furthermore, they couldn't find anything suspicious about him even though they had questioned everyone that he had talked to when he was studying overseas. Hence, this made his identity more suspicious."

This was not the first time Mango had heard someone talk about Tristan. However, she felt stunned every time she heard someone talking about him.

Tristan was quite a legendary yet mysterious figure as he had made some outstanding accomplishments in his life.

After hearing what Isla had said, Nathaniel frowned slightly.

Well, Mateo had been a spy working in the enemy troops for so many years, so he had met a lot of people. Now he was an outstanding military soldier, but he trusted Tristan very much. Thus, this meant that Tristan either worked for some illegal organisation or the military.

However, how could a genius born in Angolla be related to the military of their home country?

Nathaniel had made a guess, but he didn't dare to confirm his thought.

On the other hand, Mango knew nothing about Nathaniel's speculations. However, after Isla finished talking about Tristan, Mango decided to voice out what everyone was thinking. Hence, she asked, "Has anyone seen Tristan's real face?"

"No. I heard that he had been kidnapped when he was fifteen years old, so his face and body is covered with many burns because of a fire. Since then, he always wore a mask when he met other people. The Acker family's elders contacted many plastic surgery hospitals, but he refused to meet anyone of them. Hmm, I think he was borne with autism. After all, he refused to communicate with anyone, and he hid in the lab all day. However, he did contribute a lot to the medical field of our country. Thus, when everyone say how insistent he was, they decided not to force him to go to the hospital anymore."

Mango was surprised when she heard what Isla had said.

After all, both her and Tristan had similarites.

As soon as she looked back, she saw Nathaniel's thoughtful eyes. Then, she couldn't help but ask, "What are you thinking about?"

"Hmm, how should I sneak into the banquet so I can meet Tristan?"

After hearing what Nathaniel had said, Mango was a little depressed.

Alas! Everyone at the party knew who they were. It didn't matter whether Bernard, Prestin or Laborn found them. As long as they showed up, they would be recognized no matter how well they disguised themselves. Moreover, the infrared beam just now had probably revealed their identities. Hence, they were afraid that they would be caught as soon as they went out.

However, Isla said in a low voice, "I know another way out of this secret chamber, which leads to the back garden of the king's palace. That is where my father's guards change shift. But how can I contact Tristan after going out? Now, to my father, I am merely a sinner. After all, I'm more useless than a maid, so I don't have any authority at all."

This was also the miserable life that Isla was going through.

Nathaniel and Mango were slightly stunned when they heard this, and they couldn't help but hesitate.

Could they believe what Isla was saying?

What if she still had already contacted Laborn and the others in advance like before? If she took her and Nathaniel out now, other people could detain them immediately!

But what if she was telling the truth?

After all, both Mango and Nathaniel knew that they couldn't stay in this secret chamber.

Mateo's mission was simple, and it was to save these girls. If these girls continued to stay in Laborn's palace, Laborn could continue to threaten them. Hence, the officials of foreign countries could do anything to ensure their children's safety.

Therefore, if Laborn wanted to use the forces of other countries to deal with their own country, this could become a big problem.

He was now afraid that the king had found out about something, so he asked Mateo to get someone to take them out secretly. However, these girls were standing right in front of him now. So, as a soldier, Nathaniel had to help Mateo complete his mission as well.

At this thought, he stared at Isla with his cold eyes and said slowly, "Can I trust you? Now that things has escalated this way, can I really put my trust in you? Tell me the truth!"

Nathaniel was giving Isla an opportunity to prove herself by saying this.

If she could help him complete this mission and bring these girls out safe and sound, he would plead with Carlson so that Isla could take responsibility for her crimes.

Even if she could only spend the rest of her life in prison, she could still stay alive.

However, he didn't know whether Isla wanted this opportunity or not.

On the other hand, Isla understood what Nathaniel meant, so she was a little surprised.

She had finally gotten a chance to live, so why would she choose to die instead?

Even if she had no freedom in the future, she still had to pay the price for her mistakes, right? Therefore, she would instead choose to survive rather than pay with her life.

"I swear on my life that I won't betray both of you."

"Nah, it's useless to make a promise because it's the most unreliable thing in this word. After all, you once swore to granddad that you would do anything to protect the Ye family forever."
