The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye) novel Chapter 441

"You, you're simply..."

Madam Hans jabbed her finger angrily in Andrea's direction.

Then, Andrea sneered coldly before replying, "What about me? Has this all become very unusual to you? Alas, this is how I truly am! You have no idea how difficult it was for me to pretend to be the perfect granddaughter around you, it nearly drove me insane! You're right, I did drug you. Is that the answer you wanted?"

Madam Hans couldn't believe her ears when she heard what Andrea said.

"Why? Why did you do this? Was I not good enough to you? I did everything for you, and I even pushed my own biological granddaughter away for you. Why did you do this? Don't you know that the Hans Family is a pure and noble family? How could you?"

Madam Hans's heart felt as if a thousand knives were piercing through it, but Andrea felt nothing.

Instead, she burst out in maniacal laughter.

"You were a fool. You refused to believe your granddaughter and instead chose to believe an outsider like me blindly. Did you believe it when my mother told you that Mango was the one who obtained the cure for you when you had a stroke?"

"Was that the truth?"

"Yes, it was! Furthermore, Mango was pregnant at the time, but unfortunately, Nanny Zhang brutalized her so badly that she had a miscarriage when she went to get the antidote. I'm sure you didn't know that right? Nanny Zhang kicked the child out of her! She wanted nothing more than for Mango to die, and Mango's lower regions were soaked in blood by the time Nathaniel arrived. She was comatose, and she nearly lost her life after admitted to the hospital. All your loved ones covered up the truth from you because they were afraid that you would be hurt. Plus, Mango spent a month recovering at home, and the doctor said that any further hope for a child would be slim."

Madam Hans was thunderstruck when she heard Andrea's explanation.

"Is Andrea telling the truth?"

Then, she grabbed Terrance by the arm while asking with an anxious tone in her voice. Guilt and remorse were visible in her eyes.

The truth was, Terrance didn't want to strike a blow to his mother, but he had to tell her the truth.

"Yes, it's true. At that time, Mango had one foot in the casket but none of us wanted to tell you in fear that you would collapse. However, no one expected Andrea to claim that she saved you, and what's more, you believed it! Queena told you, Mango told you, even Nathaniel told you that the antidote was the result of Mango's efforts, but you refused to believe."

Meanwhile, Madam Hans felt as if the entire cosmos was about to collapse on her.

How could this be?

How could the ugly truth of the matter turn out like this?

Madam Hans glared at Andrea ferociously and she witnessed the younger woman was smiling smugly at her. Then, she slapped Andrea across the face.

The crisp and loud crack of her hand against Andrea's skin stunned everyone.

This was the first time Madam Hans had actually hit Andrea.

Everyone presented knew that Andrea was the apple of Madam Hans's eye, and nothing could touch her. Furthermore, Madam Hans was essentially at her beck and call, and yet now the old lady had personally hit her.

Andrea was slapped so hard that her entire head jerked sideways. Blood dribbled down from where her teeth split her lip, and it was a testament to how hard Madam Hans hit her.

"How could you be so heartless? She's your sister!"

"My sister? You're calling me heartless? I didn't hear you calling me that earlier, my dear grandmother. Instead, you kept calling me kind, weak, and a victim of all this. Honestly, do you even know right from wrong? You're just going to blindly believe everything that I say right? You think that you've been an angel to me, but before I even met you, I lived like a queen back in the United States. No one dared to talk back to me. However, I had to serve you and care for you like a maid ever since I came here. Who the hell do you think you are? Do you think I have some sort of weird masochistic tendencies that I enjoy serving you? If you weren't Mango's biological grandmother, I wouldn't even give you the time of day!"

Andrea finally let everything out.

Since the whole truth was revealed, there was no need for her to keep pretending.

"I'm extremely dissatisfied with the fact that everyone loves Mango even though we have the same mother. I'm a person too, okay? Especially my mother. I cared about her deeply, I yearned for her love and I did everything I could for over twenty years so that she could give me an ounce of her love. But in the end, she only ever had Mango in her heart! Back in the United States, all I did was knock Mango out and hand her over to Mr. Tang, but my mother had my father beat me to an inch of my life just because of that and she even wanted to disown me. All I ever wanted was love, and yet all of you gave it to Mango freely. Why? If I can't have it, then neither can Mango! She cared about you so much that she was willing to risk her life to get the antidote, so I wanted her to feel what it was like to be abandoned and hated by you!"

Andrea's manic expression pissed Madam Hans off so much that she was rendered speechless.

She had never imagined that a girl that she put so much effort into caring for would turn out to be such a vicious snake. On the contrary, Mango, who she had hurt time and time again was innocent.

She recalled how caring and loving Mango was to her when they first met, but what about now?

The last time Mango had visited the Hans Family mansion was because of Rita, and at the time Mango looked at Madam Hans as if she was an enemy.

In fact, she'd always felt like she'd done the right thing and that Mango was in the wrong. She assumed that all Mango said were lies, and that Mango only wanted to curry favor with her. However, only now did she realize what her granddaughter had experienced for her sake.

Regret crushed Madam Hans's chest so heavily that she couldn't breathe.

"So all of this was part of your plan, right? Did you have a hand in those photos of Mango too?"

Madam Hans's mind was still lucid and clear, and she quickly connected the dots when Andrea told her the whole story.

On the other hand, Andrea didn't expect Madam Hans's reaction to be so swift, but she did not deny the accusation.
