The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye) novel Chapter 1527

Out of the blue, Mango's heart skipped a beat.

"Nathan, stop her now!"

Although Marcelo, who was in the room, was a jerk, it was not worth it if Sissaye got into trouble because of the bastard.

Besides, she was only seven years old!

She would be known as a murderer for the rest of her life if she committed the crime. What would she do in the future?

With this thought in mind, Mango ran inside hastily.

Nathaniel did not dare to waste time as he rushed forward to grab Sissaye.

However, right now, Sissaye was completely enraged as she struggled with all her might.

"Let me go! Let go of me!"

She waved the kitchen knife in her hand, and it scratched on the back of Nathaniel's hand. She didn't notice it amidst her anger, but her voice attracted Marcelo and Tessa's attention.

"Sissaye? Oh, Sissaye, my daughter!"

Tessa wasn't able to fight back at Marcelo's fierce punches. Marcelo, on the other hand, heard Sissaye's voice and thought that she had sneaked her way back. At the thought of his debt, he couldn't help but grow even more furious.

"Bitch, how dare you come back. I have no more money to pay to that man."

As he spoke, Mango had already come to him. She kicked him in the waist and sent him away from Tessa.

She despised men who beat women!

He was a loser outside of his home. What kind of man came back and beat his wife and children?

Mango took a step forward angrily and slapped Marcelo in the face twice. She huffed, "Scumbag! Are you a real man?"

Marcelo was already boiling in anger after receiving two slaps from someone who barged into his house for no reason. He sprang to his feet in anger now that Mango was hurling abuses at him.

"Do you have a death wish, bitch?"

He raised his hand to hit Mango as he spoke.

In Marcelo's eyes, Mango was just a weakling that was not much different from Tessa. However, before his hand even landed on Mango, she grabbed his wrist once again grabbed. His arm was broken with a crack after a violent tug.

"Ouch!"

Marcelo wailed in pain until his voice turned hoarse.

Mango thought he was being too noisy. She picked up a cloth from the floor and stuffed it into his mouth. Then she kicked him away.

When Tessa saw Mango's fighting skills, she was stunned.

At this moment, Sissaye was still held by Nathaniel. She kept waving the kitchen knife, but she couldn't move an inch forward.

Tessa looked at the clothes that Mango and Nathaniel were wearing. Her heart skipped a beat.

"Who are you? Please let my daughter go, alright? I know my useless husband sold Sissaye to someone else, but I beg you to return my child to me. I will definitely pay you no matter how much money it costs."

Tessa got up from the bed and bowed at them repeatedly.

Mango instantly felt as if someone had punched her in the heart. It was depressing and upsetting.

She hurriedly held Tessa up and said in a low voice, "We are bringing your child back to you. Don't do that, it might scare Sissaye. Since you're her mother, she looks up to you as her teacher. She'll feel insecure if you keep doing this."

Tessa tensed up slightly. Then a trace of pain flashed across her face.

"Thank you so much."

Mango looked at the wounds on Tessa's body. It seemed that Marcelo beat her often. Mango would never have imagined that domestic violence still existed in today's society.

"How can you be so cowardly? How can you stand him when he keeps hitting you? That's not good for the growth of your child."

Mango knew that it wasn't her place to talk about these things. She shouldn't be intervening in the matters of other people. However, right now, she just couldn't bear to watch the violence.

"Nathan, let Sissaye go."

Mango took a step back. Nathaniel released Sissaye from his grip too.

Sissaye threw the kitchen knife away in an instant before she hurled herself into Tessa's arms while sobbing.

"Mom, does it hurt? I'll take you to the hospital now! Where's the money I left for you? Let's go to the hospital!"

As she spoke, she tried to pull Tessa up with her skinny body. She didn't even shed a single tear when she fell from the steel wire, but now, she was now crying like a baby. She finally acted like her age. However, Mango was saddened by what she saw. She was on the verge of tears, too.

Sissaye truly cared about Tessa.

Tessa immediately noticed that something was wrong with Sissaye's leg.

"What's the matter with your leg? Huh? Let me have a look."

"It's okay, I took a spill. I'm fine. Mom, you haven't recovered from your illness, right? I'll take you to the hospital. They're rich. We'll let them pay for your treatment first. Then I'll pay them back in the future, okay?"

Nathaniel froze momentarily upon hearing Sissaye's words.

She did not regard him as a bad guy anymore. Instead, he was the source of free money.

However, when his gaze swept across Tessa's face, he was slightly taken aback. A trace of meaningful look flashed through her eyes.

Tessa could not see Nathaniel's face clearly since his face was away from the light. Although she noticed that he was staring, she was too shy to look at him. She simply whispered to Sissaye, "Sissaye, you can't do this."

"But mom, your health..." "You should go, for the sake of Sissaye, yourself, and for what your husband did to you just now. Do you really want to keep quiet about his abuse? Think about it, once you fell ill, and he sold Sissaye behind your back. What about next time? Will she be so lucky to come back to you if it happens again?"

Mango couldn't get used to seeing such a scene.

It was said that a person in a pathetic state had to have done something to deserve it.

Tessa, who was before her eyes, was pitiful, but she had been tolerating her husband all the time. Her tolerance and cowardice made Marcelo so arrogant that it was the downfall of Tessa and her child.

Mango felt sorry for Sissaye, but she was an outsider after all. The only person who had Sissaye's back was Tessa.

Tessa gritted her teeth as tears kept flowing.

She had never expected Marcelo to sell his own daughter!

This matter had a great impact on her since it affected her profoundly.
