The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye) novel Chapter 783

"Why are you laughing? Mango, quit your nonsense as I didn't do anything... I didn't! I'm not the culprit!"

Mango did not retort and she just looked at Delilah with a smile.

Delilah felt a chill down her spine.

She rubbed her arms and looked around subconsciously with a guilty expression while everyone else was staring at her with different looks.

"That's it, Delilah, I have no interest in arguing with you what you did to me anymore and you can spill the beans when you arrive at the police station. I don't want to see you anymore and I've already told the servants to pack up your stuff so that you can take them with you and leave now."

Delilah couldn't accept the way Sophia talked to her as if she was the matriarch of the household.

"Who are you to give orders here when you've just returned whereas I have been supporting this house for nearly two decades?"

"She has all the rights to do so as she is my legal wife and the true Mrs. Song!"

Delilah became angry after hearing Carter's words.

"Carter, that's not what you told me when we slept on the same bed! You bastard! It's all because of you! Sophia would've become a nobody if it weren't for you who refused to make me your legal wife deep down! I've served the Song family for so many years but I got no benefits in the end... How unfair!"

Delilah rushed toward Carter as she spoke.

At that moment, Thomas frowned and he blocked Delilah's way in time.

"Mom, stop it! Can you come to your senses? Are you going to keep on yelling and shouting here like a clown? I'm Mitchell's and your child yet you forcefully send me to the Song family... Have you ever thought about my feelings even if you don't feel ashamed yourself? What on earth am I to you? Other parents shower their children with love as they grew up, but what about me? Why did you even give birth to me in the first place? Why?"

Thomas was having a mental breakdown.

He could no longer hold back his emotions at that instant although he had was a tough person deep down.

Delilah became speechless all of a sudden as she looked at Thomas's tearful red-rimmed eyes.

"My dear son, I do love you and I did everything all for you! The Song family is very wealthy and I have been very poor since I was young, so I'm really scared and I didn't want to suffer as I did, do you understand? I wouldn't have let Mitchell send you away if it weren't for this reason... I have been pregnant with you for ten months and you're practically part of me!"

Thomas felt displeased deep down after hearing Delilah's words.

"Money and money! All that you care about is money! You lost your morality and ethics for the sake of the Song family's property and you even abandoned your own son. I see that the Song family is very rich as you said? Ha! You think that they are wealthy? Well, you could've just told me that you are short of money and I will give it to you! Mr. Ye has guided me to invest in Ornato Group and renewable energy systems all these years and even gold resources. I can tell you frankly that I'm probably wealthier than the Song family! You could've just asked me if you needed money and we could earn it legally! Why must you use such distorted methods to gain wealth and even murder a person? Is money or life more important to you!"

Thomas growled as his tears blurred his eyes at that instant.

Mango wouldn't have wasted her time arguing with Delilah if it weren't for her concern toward Thomas. It was all because of Thomas and Nathaniel's relationship with him that she held back her actions.

On the other hand, Delilah asked after hearing what Thomas said, "Son, is what you said true and that you're very rich? Are you wealthier than the Song family?"

"Yes, I can give you everything if you wanted but what the h*ll have you done?"

"Son, just forget what I did and quickly hire an outstanding lawyer for me since you're so rich as I can't go to jail... I'm already so old and I'll surely die in there if I'm imprisoned!"

Delilah held Thomas's arm tightly.

However, Thomas felt incredibly disappointed.

Delilah wasn't regretful of what she did at all even at this point.

Why would he have such a mother?

Delilah was looking at Thomas eagerly as he stared back at her and withdrew her grasp on him before saying coldly, "Mom, you are no longer a child and you should've known that you will eventually get your punishments when you decided to murder a person. Now, you must pay for what you've done."

"Excuse me? Are you even my son? How can you treat me like that when I'm going to jail? Thom, hurry up and get a lawyer for me! I'm the one who raised Novalee and she spent a lot of my money, so how can I not let her return the favor?"

"You're letting her return the favor by killing her? Your intentions are incredibly terrifying!"

Thomas's words were extremely harsh but he actually felt incredibly heartbroken deep down that he could barely bear it.

At that instant, Delilah pushed him away.

"You unfilial son! What an unfilial son! I should have strangled you to death last time if I knew that you would become such a person now!"

Delilah's words were cruel and they were tearing Thomas's heart out.

"Mrs. Ye, please let the police in."

Thomas closed his eyes wearily as he said to Mango.
