The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye) novel Chapter 413

"Mom, do you really think that I can't do anything to you? Do you really want to see the Hans family destroyed?"

Terrance could not believe that his mother had said such wicked things.

His mother hailed from a prominent family and was also kin to veterans. She used to think critically and was praised by the folks at Santell Capital as an exemplary woman. What happened to her?

Madam Hans seemed to realise that she may have overstepped her boundaries, but she did not ease up and instead said, "Is that not the case? As of this moment, you're finding me obnoxious, aren't you? I can't do right by you and you won't even let me have the last say in adopting my god granddaughter. All these years, I am the one worried about you after your father and brothers passed away. I cannot believe that you're biting the hand that feeds you and you are accusing me of destroying the Hans family. I dare you to repeat those accusations in front of the graves of your father and brothers!"

"That's not the same at all. Mom, you really don't think you've done any wrong? Don't you feel that you've been too harsh to Mango?"

Terrance suddenly did not recognize this crazy woman in front of him.

"Where did I go wrong now? It's that evil little brat who went and spread rumors about how she lost a child because of saving me! If it wasn't for Andrea, I would be long dead already! The Hans family always pays their debts, so what sin did I commit? It should be Mango who is to blame here. She manipulated the Ye Family and is now using them to harm us! This morning, she threatened to hurt Andrea, but little did I expect she would launch her attack against us so quickly. How dare you pick a fight with me over that little c*nt? I'm your own mother, I was the one who raised you!"

Madam Hans was getting angrier by the moment, whereas Terrance could not stand another word of it.

Everyone was in agreement that Mango had in fact saved his mother, but Madam Hans simply refused to believe this version of events. She obstinately believed that Andrea was the one who saved her instead. Terrance was helpless in this case.

"Mom, I've already purchased a ticket for you, and you will leave for Santell Capital tonight. There will be someone to take care of you there. Leave everything in Ocean City to me, I will be solely responsible for whatever happens to the Hans family next. You're not young anymore, it's time for you to enjoy your life at Santell Capital.

Terrance would have preferred another way, but his hand was forced.

If she continued to stay in Ocean City, who knew what other mayhem she might cause.

He had always hesitated when he thought of how his mother had struggled all her life. He did not want his mother to spend the last days away from her hometown, but it looked like this was inevitable now.

Madam Hans was completely stunned.

"Are you going to place me under house arrest? What a useless son!"

Madam Hans was so furious that she wanted to throw something at Terrance, but the servants had already packed up everything earlier on.

Terrance looked at his fuming mother and said coldly, "Not only are you going to be kept away, but Andrea will also have to stay here in Ocean City too. Everything happened because of her, so she should be the one to face the music. Since she's one of us now, I expect her to earn her keep in the Hans family as well. Don't worry, mom, I'm sending Nanny Liu with you to Santell Capital to ensure you'll have a

good time there."

Andrea's expression changed instantly.

"Uncle Terrance, I wish to follow grandma. She's getting old and I don't feel comfortable letting someone else take care of her. Plus, I'm just a weak girl, I probably won't be of much use here anyway. Let me go with grandma instead."

"You're staying right here in Ocean City! Don't even think about leaving this place!"

Terrance's words made Andrea's face turn pale.

"Uncle Terrance..."

"What do you think you're doing? I'll have you know that I won't forgive you if any harm befalls Andrea!"

Madam Hans locked gazes with Terrance.

There was a time when he would have obliged his mother. But now he had made up his mind to separate his mother from Andrea, so he was not going to give her any quarter.

"You there, send Madam Hans to the train station!

An attendant immediately came in from outside to escort Madam Hans.

Madam Hans was so angry that her entire body trembled.

"Terrance, you good-for-nothing b*stard!"

"Sorry, mom."

Terrance waved his hand and the attendant proceeded to usher Madam Hans out.

Andrea grabbed Madam Hans' sleeve and whispered, "Pretend to faint now, he won't send you away if you feign illness."

She spoke in a low voice so that only Madam Hans could hear her.

The old crone paused for a moment, rolled her eyes back and let herself collapse backwards.

"Madam!"

"Mom!"

Terrance was shocked at his mother's sudden fainting.

"Quick, get the doctor!"

Terrance carried his mother off the floor immediately and placed her on the wheelchair and wheeled her to her room.

The attendant who was watching was more hesitant.

"Sir, is Madam Hans still going to board the train?"

Upon hearing this, Andrea hurriedly said, "Uncle Terrance, grandma's heart isn't very stable lately, and the doctor too said that she couldn't be too emotional. Grandma was already not feeling well today when she returned from my sister's place. If we still force her to take a trip now, I worry you will regret it for the rest of your life if anything happens to her."

Terrance was visibly distraught by this.

He knew that his mother's health had been deteriorating. Despite his resolution to send her away, he could not help but waver a little now.

"Uncle Terrance, if you insist on sending grandma away, why don't you wait until tomorrow? At least let the doctor take a look and give us some reassurance?"

Seeing Terrance's determination loosen, she quickly piled on her arguments.
