The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye) novel Chapter 813

"Nathaniel, I have to admit that you are the child that I most proud of! However, I'm really disappointed in you. I can't believe that you actually chose to go against me for the sake of a woman. Do you really think that you can do this just because you're a local tyrant in Ocean City? So what if you found out that I'm the one who instructed Cyrus Fang? It's never a pity to lose a betrayer like you."

Nathaniel shook his head in disagreement when he heard Isla's words.

"No, you're wrong. I know you didn't mean to do it and I've told you that I know every move you made. So please tell me, is Nick's death in anyway related to you?"

"How could it be? I didn't do anything, and I went to see him off before he died. Besides, I always favored him. So, how is that possible?"

Isla's words were sincere, but Nathaniel did not believe it.

"You favored him because he always relied on you and treated you as a mother. But what about you? I used to think that you're genuinely good to him, but I guess I was too naive to believe that.

You're good to him because he's your only way out. You wanted to use him to replace me if I ever defy you. I've already made a great achievement for the Ye family and you don't need me anymore. Therefore, Nick naturally became your best candidate. Uh, I don't understand why you killed Nick. Did he discover any of your secrets?"

Isla turned nervous and she immediately denied it.

"What kind of nonsense are you talking about? As I said, Nick's death has nothing to do with me."

"If I hadn't known that you were from the Fang family, and if I hadn't found out that all the daughters of the Fang family were married for a purpose, maybe I wouldn't have suspected you. Nick's amulet is always with him. According to the rules of our Ye family, the amulet will be buried with the dead. However, I didn't break Nick's amulet when he passed away. During that time, I was puzzled when I found that there was something off about the amulet when Zion handed it to me. Do you know what it is?"

Nathaniel took out the amulet from his pocket.

Isla's face fell instantly.

It seemed that she knew about it.

"You know it, don't you? Part of the amulet was broken off. Although you may have asked someone to repair it, I still noticed a difference. There is a crack here, and blood oozed into it. Although it has been restored, unfortunately, you can't fix what has been broken. No matter how well it is repaired, it is still different from before. Perhaps you decided to repair it out of your love for Nick after he accidentally broke it on the battlefield. However, I know your intentions, and I know that you would never do such a useless thing. Nick's death is related to you, and you are afraid that others will find out from the clues. That's why you got it restored, right? I've also confirmed it with the repairman and checked your withdrawal status."

Upon hearing this, Isla's face immediately took on a ghastly expression.

"So, you're investigating me?"

"Why shouldn't I? It all started when you ruthlessly attacked Mango and drove Wisdom out of the Ye family while he was suffering from depression. A kind and soft- hearted woman can't do such a heartless thing. Or it could be said that you don't care about the prosperity of the Ye family, let alone the lives of the children. It's just that I haven't found out about your true identity when you escaped from the car accident. Now, are you still going to threaten me with the maternal bond that is no longer in existence? Do you think I'll be

fooled?"

Nathaniel sneered.

Meanwhile, Isla's expression gradually calmed down.

She looked at Nathaniel, the child who she had raised singlehandedly since young. Suddenly, she said in a low voice, "I really regretted it when you were born... no... when I realized what a genius you were, I should have killed you to spare off any future troubles. If it weren't for the fact that I needed children to help me gain a foothold in the Ye family, I would never allow you guys to be alive until now. If you were an ordinary person like Nick, it would be fine. But why were you so outstanding? I was careless and stupid enough to keep a genius like you by my side. I didn't expect you to grow up to be such a threat to me."

"What's the point of saying so much? I'm still alive. What's more, I'm still standing in front of you. So, you'd better tell me the truth, why did you want to kill Nick?"

Isla did not refute him this time. Instead, she asked directly, "What rights do you have on accusing me of killing him?"

"Because of the women of the Fang family! I found a document about a crime and I investigated the person. It turns out that his wife's surname is Fang. I've long known that the woman of the Fang family would have some sort of belief and I knew it the moment I saw the name. I also asked Delilah Fang and she told me that you were in charge of the family ever since you married your husband. From the timeline, I can see that the couple was married soon after your marriage. I suspected that it must have been arranged by you. Even if Nick was investigating the drug trafficking case, they would have protected him considering my relationship with the military. However, he was dead. I was puzzled by this, hah, but now I understood. Perhaps it was because Nick discovered your identity, or because you were involved with the criminals. That's why he was killed, right?"

Nathaniel became extremely agitated when he said it.

If it weren't for the fact that he had tons of unanswered questions, he would have attacked Isla by now.

Isla sneered and said, "If you really want to know, why don't you meet him in hell?"

As she spoke, she waved her hand. Then, everyone surrounded Nathaniel from all directions and they were all armed.
