Mango told Tessa's matters to Genevie with a smile as if it was some funny gossips. In the end, she said, "Oh, that's right, this woman actually has the same surname as the Soo family. Her name is Tessa. It seems that the man she married back then was an aristocrat, who is known as Marcelo. He is really a sc*mbag."
Genevieve frowned slightly as she listened quietly.
"Well, I called just to tell you about this interesting thing that I've come across. Did you just wake up?"
"Yes."
Genevieve nodded in response.
"Then wash up and have breakfast quickly. I'm sleepy too. I'm going to sleep. Bye."
After hanging up, Genevieve's mind seemed to be boggled by something.
When Noah came out of the bathroom and saw Genevieve, he couldn't help but ask with a smile, "What's the matter? What did Mango say to you that warrants such an expression on your face?"
"Noah, we may have a trouble."
Noah was taken aback by Genevieve's words.
"What?"
Genevieve repeated what Mango had told her and placed special attention on Tessa and Marcelo.
The color drained from Noah's face all of a sudden.
"What's the name again?"
"Tessa, that's what Mango told me. I feel that if Mango wouldn't have called me if it has nothing to do with us. Furthermore, she pointed out Tessa's surname. I'm afraid she's trying to remind us of something."
Genevieve didn't know about Tessa. Firstly, it was because Noah didn't want her to be too close to the Soo family. Secondly, the matter between Tessa and Carlson had always been a secret. Genevieve only knew Brenett. As for Tessa, the Soo family had demanded everyone to keep their mouths shut after the marriage, so Genevieve naturally had no chance of finding out. Noah hadn't even mentioned Tessa to her.
At this moment, Genevieve couldn't help but pause for a moment when she saw Noah's reaction.
"What's the matter with you?"
"Tessa is my cousin. She is Barack's family. I was close to her since I was a child. I thought that although she wasn't happy after marrying Marcelo, it wouldn't be this bad. Moreover, the Li family went bankrupt overnight and Marcelo left the capital with his entire family. When I wanted to look into it, there was nothing left for me to investigate. I have always thought that Tessa would ask me for help if she experienced any problems in life. I didn't expect her to be in that kind of situation."
Noah suddenly felt a terrible ache in his heart.
His beloved cousin had been tortured to such a state by the Li family. Tessa, who was once a beautiful and promising soldier, was now a cripple!
Noah even wished that he could kill Marcelo right now.
"I have to go to Y Country now."
"You can't leave."
Genevieve grabbed Noah and stopped him. She said in a low voice, "Haven't you thought about anything else?"
"What's there to think of?"
Noah's mind was now completely occupied by Tessa. When he saw Genevieve's frown and heard her question, he couldn't help but freeze for a moment.
Genevieve hurriedly said, "The Li family is a noble family. They have been staying in the Santell Capital for so many years. Why did their family go bankrupt after marrying Tessa? How could this happen if someone else wasn't behind this matter? Noah, I know that you are worried about Tessa, but there are more important things than her at this point. After all, Mango won't tell us this matter if there isn't anything more to it. If it's only because Tessa is your sister, Nathaniel and Mango will just tell us directly, right? Why would they beat around the bush? I think you should look into it."
Noah felt that Genevieve's words make perfect sense.
"I'll call Noah straightaway."
"If Noah could call you, he wouldn't have asked Mango to call me."
Genevieve stopped Noah at once.
At this moment, Mango sent a text message to Genevieve.
"Tessa used to love Carlson."
Mango didn't mention Carlson's name on the phone just now. She only mentioned a young man from a wealthy family because she was afraid that their call was being tapped.
So this sentence was the key point.
Genevieve's eyes narrowed abruptly. Noah also saw this and couldn't help but be stunned.
Then the text message on Genevieve's phone disappeared at a speed as fast as lightning.
Noah knew that Nathaniel was behind this.
Noah could no longer remain calm when Carlson was mentioned.
"How could it be?"
"What is it?"
Genevieve knew that Noah had to have known something when she saw his reaction.
Noah said hastily, "I know that Brenett and Carlson loved each other. Back then, Carlson was arrested and punished after he murdered someone for Brenett. Later, after he was released from prison, he made Brenett pay. Since then, he has been staying away from women. How is this related to Tessa?"
Noah felt that there was a need for an investigation concerning this matter.
