The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye) novel Chapter 1533

When Mango saw Nathaniel immersed in deep thought while lowering his head, she knew she had hit the nail on the head.

If Mango guessed it correctly, the person who poisoned Marcelo on the night of Tessa's wedding and instructed him to poison Tessa would likely be someone from the Soo family.

At the thought of this, Mango felt a little upset.

It was painful to be betrayed by one's loved ones. How would Tessa feel if the someone from Soo family really poisoned her?

Once Mango thought of this, she hurriedly asked, "Nathan, how was Tessa's position in the Soo family back then?"

"She was highly respected. As I mentioned before, she was the best soldier under my command. Even though Noah is a great person, he has devoted himself to the military. That's why Tessa was able to dominate the Soo family. Tessa was a proactive person with strong physical endurance. She was the only female member of the special forces, yet she was a match to the men in any fight."

Nathaniel lamented Tessa's past. Such a talented woman had destroyed her future in this way.

Upon hearing this, Mango knew that she was on point.

"If that's the case, do you think that Tessa has a chance to become the head of the Soo family?"

Nathaniel froze momentarily before it suddenly dawned on him.

"Do you think the person that poisoned Tessa was from the Soo family?"

"Yes, that's right."

Mango didn't hide her assumptions from Nathaniel.

"Think about it, if Tessa was a strong competitor back then, it was very likely that someone would have secretly assaulted her. Besides, Carlson was arrested at that time. Tessa had no one to back her up, so that was the perfect chance to go after her. If that was the case, perhaps Marcelo was the subordinate of the person who wanted to compete for the position of the head of the family. That was why that person asked Marcelo to marry Tessa. After all, having Tessa in his control would be reassuring. Furthermore, Tessa was having a tough life after marriage, so naturally, she didn't have the energy to compete for the position of head of the family. Plus, if Tessa lost her ability to fight, wasn't she just an ordinary woman?

Naturally, she wouldn't pose any threat."

Nathaniel pondered over Mango's words.

"If someone from the Soo family really poisoned Tessa, why did they poison Marcelo too?"

Mango said in a low voice, "That's because the Soo family was afraid that Carlson would be successful again. After all, he is the heir of his family. As long as he is alive, he will naturally be released from prison. Carlson is supported by the head of his family. He won't die just because he was sentenced to a few years in prison. It would only delay his growth and plans for a few years. If Carlson still cares about Tessa, it will definitely be bad news to the Soo family. To put it bluntly, if one day Carlson becomes the head of his family, the Soo family will become the thorn in his flesh. If that were to happen, the Soo family naturally won't be able to develop in the future. Therefore, keeping Tessa alive is the Soo family's backup plan. Once Carlson really does rise to power one day, the Soo family can use Tessa to exchange for their prosperity. Perhaps they were also aware that Tessa was pregnant at that time."

Mango's eyes darkened at the thought of this possibility.

"Although the Li family are aristocrats, they are still lower than the Soo family in terms of status. The marriage alliance between the Soo family and the Li family was supposed to be a good thing, but Marcelo Li was not an ordinary person, was he?"

Mango had guessed from Marcelo's grievances and anger that he was a very capable person. He was probably the most promising young man of the Li family.

Nathaniel nodded and said, "Yes, Marcelo was a talented young man at that time. He was indeed a good businessman who had proved himself in business."

"That makes sense. If the Su family doesn't take the Li family down, it is very likely that Marcelo will lead them to greater heights. At that time, if the Soo family wants to take control of the Li family and ask for favors from Carlson in the future, they won't stand a chance. Moreover, the Mo family will be grateful to the Li family for raising Carlson's daughter. So the Li family will gain support from the Mo family and rise to power. The head of the Soo family must have thought of this, so he took the Li family down before the latter could be successful. Then, he poisoned Marcelo so that he would not be able to sleep with Tessa. By doing so, the Soo family will have a chance to become a successful family in the future."

Nathaniel understood many things from Mango's explanation. A trace of concern flashed across his eyes.

"What's on your mind?"

"I'm thinking about Noah."

Nathaniel didn't lie to Mango. He said in a low voice, "If you're right, then Carlson is definitely up for revenge. After all, the Soo family will definitely have to pay the price for scheming and poisoning his loved one. However, Noah is a member of the Soo family. Even if he lives a free life, he is still a member of the Soo family."

Mango finally remembered that Noah was also part of the Soo family.

"Carlson won't punish Noah too, will he? Moreover, Noah is only a doctor now."

"But Noah's father in law is the lieutenant colonel."

Nathaniel knew what Carlson was capable of. The Soo family was at fault. Carlson would definitely act in a swift and decisive manner once he made his move. Moreover, Ocean City's four young talents were too well-known. Even if Carlson didn't make a move, the head of his family would still take the initiative to attack those families so that Carlson could have a peaceful reign once he rose to power.

Since ancient times, it was dangerous for those in power to be more influential than their superiors. This was especially true when there was a change in the governing party.

Mango couldn't help but furrow her brows.

She remembered the time when Carlson was in the Ye's Mansion. No matter how she looked at it, he was a playboy and a dandy. He wouldn't be a vicious man. However, Nathaniel would not bring this up for no reason.

Argh!

Why was Tessa a member of the Soo family?

Mango felt a little upset. After all, she and Genevieve were good friends.

Nathaniel said in a low voice, "Mango, call Genevieve and tell her about Tessa. If you can think of it, Genevieve will be able to think of this too."

"Why am I the one who tell her?"

Mango thought that Nathaniel and Noah were good buddies. Wasn't it better for Nathaniel to just pass a message to Noah?

Nathaniel looked at Mango, who seemed confused, and whispered, "I can't contact Noah right now."
