The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye) novel Chapter 732

Walter knew that Novalee was anxious, so he did not say anything else as he switched on his phone.

"Uncle Song, you must prepare me a big gift."

Zion switched on his camera and said with a smile.

"What is it that you want? I'll be sure to buy it for you."

"That's a promise! I heard from my mom that she wants to shop for jades, so buy me a nice jade as I want to give it to her."

However, Walter paused for a moment after hearing Zion's words.

"Your dad should be the one giving her such a gift and it's not your place to give that to her."

"Why not?"

"Just let your daddy do it."

Walter couldn't help but glance at Novalee when he said that.

He saw that Novalee's eyes were flickering and she seemed flustered.

At that instant, Walter was somewhat panicked.

"Just choose another gift." "Uh... Pick two... no, four jade accessories for me then."

It seemed that Zion had his heart set on jades.

"Why do you want so many jades? Do you want to sell them?"

"I want to give one to my sister and another to Gissel while Wisdom and I have will have a different one each, so four is just right as there's one for each of us... What's wrong? Uncle Song, are you unwilling to spend your money?"

Walter's mouth twitched after hearing Zion's words.

This brat was indeed Nathaniel's son as he was incredibly treacherous.

Walter could surely pick the best jades considering his taste, but it was daylight robbery for him to get four of them.

"Okay, fine, I'll give them to you. Anyway, hurry up and tell me what you got."

"Thank you, Uncle Song. I'll send the information to you and you can see it on your own, but you must delete it afterward. Otherwise, I'll be in trouble."

Having said that, Zion hung up their video call and sent Walter a file.

At that instant, Novalee leaned over.

It was an encrypted file and perhaps Zion was the only one who could retrieve it.

Walter and Novalee opened the file and they found that not only Novalee's parents were involved in the mission, but also Bosco.

At that moment, Novalee was completely stunned.

It turned out that Walter was right.

Bosco was the person who contacted her parents, but Novalee had never heard about this from him.

Novalee's face turned pale in an instant.

She had treated Bosco as her closest relative since she was young and she had never expected to hear such news.

On the other hand, Walter noticed that Novalee was not in a good mood, so he quickly comforted her, "Don't be too pessimistic as it might be because of Bosco's self-discipline that he wanted to keep it confidential and he didn't tell us. We have no evidence to prove that he has something to do with your parents' issue and my intuitions could be wrong."

"You don't have to comfort me and I know you're doing this for my own good."

Novalee tried her best to act as if she wasn't emotionally affected, but she couldn't.

At that instant, Walter felt regretful and perhaps he should not have let Novalee know about this.

"Alright, I'm starving to death. We'll ask Bosco about it after our meal."

Walter said with a smile.

Then, Novalee held his hand and asked, "Really? Will he spill the beans?"

"I think he will... We can give it a try, but let's eat first."

"Alright."

Walter's words were reassuring and Novalee lowered her head as she dived in.

She didn't have an appetite, but she still forced herself to have some food.

Walter felt a little distressed seeing Novalee's behavior.

"Don't force yourself if you don't have the appetite. We can first ask your uncle about it and well have dinner later."

Walter grabbed Novalee's wrist at that instant.

Then, Novalee took a deep breath and said, "My parents' death has always been a trauma for me deep down as I don't believe that they will do such a thing. This case has remained inconclusive throughout the years and I'm afraid that my parents' death will remain a mystery that won't be solved forever if I don't try my best to clear it up now. They will carry the shame forever and I can't accept this!"

"I know... I understand your feelings, so don't worry as I will figure it out. Let's ask Mr. Liu about it now."

Walter held Novalee's hand tightly.

Then, Novalee looked up at Walter as she was very touched.

"Alright."

They got up and paid the bill before leaving the restaurant.

Walter's car was in the underground parking lot of the restaurant and he wanted to let Novalee wait for him at the entrance while he would drive the car over. However, Novalee insisted on going with him.

Walter didn't want to argue with Novalee, so he walked to the underground parking space while holding Novalee's hand.

Suddenly, a black car drove towards Walter.

"Be careful!"

Suddenly, Walter pushed Novalee away in a flash before he hid away from the car.

Novalee fell to the ground and she saw the car reversing abruptly when she turned back as it was targeting Walter.

"Walter, be careful!"

Novalee was extremely anxious, but she didn't dare to go forward as she was afraid that she might burden Walter.

It was crystal clear that the other party's target was Walter.

At that moment, Novalee was incredibly distressed and she thought of a possibility.

Could it be Bosco's doing?

The idea flashed across her mind and she couldn't stop thinking about it.

On the other hand, Walter jumped over a car in an instant before running towards his car, but he noticed that the other party was determined to crush him to death.

It was at this moment that five men surrounded Walter from all directions and blocked his way.

At that point, Novalee was incredibly perturbed.

She quickly took out her phone and was about to call the police.
