The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye) novel Chapter 1535

Mango could imagine the mess that the Soo family was currently in. After the call, she couldn't help but feel a little upset.

She walked out of the study and spotted Tessa.

Tessa stood in the corridor and looked at Mango as she nodded her head.

Mango found it hard to imagine that Tessa used to be heroic and valiant.

She didn't know what to say to Tessa, so she smiled and nodded before leaving. However, Tessa asked in a low voice, "Are you telling the truth?"

"What?"

Mango was slightly taken aback.

Tessa smiled bitterly and said softly, "I heard everything just now."

Mango froze for a moment before she whispered, "Nathan and Noah are good buddies."

"Carlson won't be doing that."

Tessa looked at Mango. She felt a little nervous and impatient. However, Mango thought that she was mainly comforting herself.

Mango didn't know how much Tessa had overheard from the conversation, but she felt that it was necessary for Tessa to know the truth as a woman.

Thus, she told Tessa everything that Nathaniel had told her, including her own speculations.

Sissaye was not around because she was asleep. That was why Tessa had come out to talk to her. Thus, Mango did not hide anything from her.

"Harris will be here soon. Maybe he will be here when we wake up tomorrow morning. He brought Carlson's blood with him. He will do a paternity test for Sissaye. I know that you are very confused now, Tessa, but I also know that you believe in Carlson. However, knowing his character, do you think he will forgive the Soo family for letting you and your child suffer for so many years? No one can stop his wrath."

Mango didn't know what Tessa would do, but it would be silly of her if she still thought that Carlson was the same person he was eight years ago.

After all, her life was not a bed of roses in the past eight years. Meanwhile, Carlson struggled between life and death as he ascended to his current position step by step. There were some things that he had to do even though he did not want. This was what power and politics were

about.

Tessa was completely stupefied.

She couldn't believe that her family was the reason of all the sufferings she had gone through.

Out of the blue, she laughed out loud as tears slid down the corners of her eyes.

"Mrs. Ye, thank you very much."

Tessa wasn't stupid. Naturally, she knew that Mango was helping her. However, she was in a bad mood right now, so she needed to find a place to process everything.

Mango understood her current feelings as well. She nodded without saying anything.

Tessa didn't go back to her room. After all, her daughter was still sleeping. Besides, right now, she didn't want her daughter to find out about these diry matters and sins too early.

She walked to the living room.

There was no one here. She sat on the sofa in a daze. Even though the heater was very warm, her body felt cold all over.

She used to be the pride of the Soo family. She even had the chance to become its head. However, she did not expect that it would be her downfall too.

Susan was really something!

He had done everything in the name of the Soo family's prosperity, but truth was, it was for his own gain. Although everything was only Mango's speculation, Tessa knew that it was the truth.

For so many years, she had never contact the Soo family no matter how hard life was. That was because she thought she had disgraced the family, but she did not expect them to be behind all of this.

Tessa now had hurt feelings and a broken heart.

She simply sat upright in the living room until Harris arrived in the early morning.

Harris knew Tessa, but he never imagined that he would see her in such a manner. He was shocked when he saw her.

She was thin and bony. She didn't look as elegant or energetic as she used to be. Even if Harris didn't know anything about her, he understood that she had led a tough life in the past few years.

After Carlson was released from prison, he didn't inquire about Tessa's whereabouts anymore because he was afraid that he would be tempted to go to her. At that time, his position as the heir was in jeopardy because he was in prison. His grandfather only offered him one single chance to atone himself, so he had no time to do anything else.

However, Harris didn't expect that Tessa would end up like this because of they didn't pay attention to her.

In fact, Harris and Tessa were once comrades-in-arms, but now he was at a loss for words when he looked at her. On the contrary, she smiled and initiated the conversation.

"You're finally here, aren't you?"

Her voice was hoarse and dry.

Harris couldn't bear to hear it.

"What happened to you?"

"Yeah, I also want to know how I ended up like this."

Tessa smiled bitterly. She knew why Harris was here, so she said in a low voice, "You'll need to wait for a while. Sissaye is still sleeping. She was scared out of her wits yesterday, not the mention she was injured. No matter what you want from her, you'll need to wait until she wakes up."

"Okay."

Harris did not force her.
