The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)

Newell looked at Sisi, who was unconscious, and said with a smile, "How can I bear to kill her? She's my wife. No matter what she did, it's not her fault. I didn't supervise her well, so I need to explain to Mr. Ye. I've saved some money on this card over the years. Let her lead a good life alone. If she wakes up, tell her that her father is not a good person. Let her start over a new life at the place where no one knows her if possible."

He looked at Sisi affectionately and touched her face repeatedly. He really didn't want to let her go if possible, but Nathaniel needed an explanation from him.

As soon as the speedboat started, Sisi was sent away directly by his man.

Newell stayed by the seaside for a long time until the sunset. A bright red light streaked across the horizon and completely submerged into the bottom of the sea. Now, he started to feel cold.

Newell got on the car before starting it and drove back directly to The Ye s Mansion.

Nathaniel was sitting on the sofa.

Newell was slightly stunned when he entered. He then came to the side of Nathaniel and knelt.

"Mr. Ye, I've sent Sisi away. I won't complain no matter how hard you'll punish me. I...I hope you can let her go. Please pretend that I killed Pyrce instead. Newell said it out word by word.

Nathaniel looked at him and spoke nothing. Then he shook the glass in his hand. The red wine in the glass swayed, which made Newell felt a little uneasy. Finally, he began to speak.

"How long have you been with me, Newell?"

Newell was slightly stunned. He then bowed his head and said, "It has been seventeen years since I was seven."

"Seventeen years. It's not a short time, but you've betrayed me twice."

Nathaniel's words made Newell feel slightly shameful.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Ye. I'm good for nothing, and I have failed to live up to your expectations. Perhaps you should not have taken me away from the orphanage in the first place. Well, what's the point of talking about this now? I have no guts. Besides, my life belongs to one woman. I really can't bear to part with her, and I can't give her up either. Thus, Mr. Ye, I came back willingly to be punished."

Newell said sincerely and felt embarrassed indeed. What could he do? He couldn't give up his love, and he had betrayed Nathaniel twice for Sisi's sake! He didn't know what else he could say.

Looking at him, Nathaniel sighed and said, "If I asked you to pay this sin with your like, would you object to it?"

"Of course not."

Newell had already thought of this ending when he came back.

Koiton's matter had to be settled sooner or later. Nathaniel definitely would not allow anyone close to him betray him. Therefore, the most effective way was to punish Newell as a message to others. He was willing to die without any complaints.

Newell lowered his head and didn't show any sign of hostility.

Nathaniel took a sip of red wine and said faintly, "Sisi is pregnant."

"That's right."

Newell responded lightly, and he was belatedly aware of what Nathaniel had just said.

"What?"

He jerked his head up.

Nathaniel wore a half smile on his lips, which made it hard for others to figure out what he really thought, but he patiently repeated it again.

"She's pregnant, and you're going to be a father. The examination report was sent by the doctor not long ago. At first, she wanted to have a medical examination, but little did she expect that she was going to be a mother soon. I reckon that she still doesn't know about it. Now you can't even see your own child. Are you really willing to die?"

Newell hesitated.

Was he going to have a baby with Sisi?

She would be a very lovely child.

However, he could never see them again.

Well, with the child accompanying Sisi, perhaps there was still a glimmer of hope in her life in future.

After Newell's excitement, he began to weep in a low voice. He was glad and pleased. At the same time, he had a tinge of regret.

Nathaniel looked at his expression and said nothing. He waited till Newell was calm before he put down the glass of wine.

Newell took a deep breath and said firmly, "Thank you for telling me this, Mr. Ye. I have no regrets. I was relieved to know that I'm going to have a child before I die. I didn't expect that I would have a child even though I was an orphan. God treats me good instead. I won't blame anyone. Mr. Ye, you can do it now. I only hope that you can give both of them a way out."

Upon hearing what he said, Nathaniel said faintly, "Stand up and sit here."

Newell was stunned.

Wasn't Nathaniel going to punish him?

He looked at Nathaniel, but he couldn't feel his anger either. Well, what did that mean?

Seeing that he was still standing there, Nathaniel spoke again.

"Just sit as I said. Do you like standing and kneeling so much?"

"No, I don't."

Newell hastily sat down.

He felt trepidation as he did not know what Nathaniel was going to do. He was even more worried about Sisi in his heart.

"Mr. Ye....did you send someone to chase after Sisi?"

"Yes."

Nathaniel admitted it directly.

Newell's eyes widened, and he stood up immediately.

"What? Mr. Ye, I've already said that I'll take care of

this matter. How could you..."

"You can't stand the fact or take the risk."

As Nathaniel spoke, he threw a folder to Newell.

"Have a look. It's information about your parents."

Newell was completely stunned.

Parents?

How could this be possible?

Over the years, he had also searched for his background without telling Nathaniel, but he couldn't find anything at all. The orphanage's director said that someone left him by the door with his name and birth date. He didn't know anything else besides that.

Newell always thought that he didn't know who his parents were in this life. He didn't expect Nathaniel to give him this information.

He was slightly stunned for a moment and opened it at once.

His face gradually darkened and in the end, he closed the file.

"Mr. Ye, this isn't true, right?"

"Look at your face. You look like your father. There's also a paternity test inside there. I'm sure you're Power, Powell's son."

"Where did you get the DNA test?"

Newell looked at Nathaniel as he felt out of breath.

Nathaniel stood up and said in a low voice without facing him, "I asked someone to bring out your father's hair and matched it with yours."

"My father's hair? Where is he?"

Newell became more anxious.

Nathaniel turned around and looked straight at him, saying word by word, "He is in Koiton's hands. To be exact, he is a researcher in Koiton's research institute, but he can never stop working. So is your mother. Your mother had passed away three years ago due to cell infections."

"Huh? What the heck is going on?"

Newell was completely confused.

He had thought about his own background, but he did not expect that he was actually a son of the scientist.

Was it him?

Did he look like a son of a scientist, after all?

However, he couldn't doubt Nathaniel's words. After all, he had no reason to do so, didn't he?

Wait.

He had a reason to do so.

Newell suddenly recalled of Sisi.

"You're lying to me! You want me to turn against Sisi for my father and willingly become a lackey for you so that I can help you deal with Kolton, don't you?"

Newell's words made Nathaniel frown slightly.

"Do you really think that I am such a person in your heart?"

Newell didn't dare to look into Nathaniel's eyes, but he bowed his head and said, "I know you're not someone like that, but I can't believe all of these are true. Besides, I can't figure out what is your intention." "That's because our Ye Family owes both your father and you. Do you really think that Sisi can lead a new life after she leaves you? Do you know the power of Kolton outside the country? It's easy for him to look for Sisi. Now Sisi is pregnant with your child. Do you think that your father will resist if Kolton uses this child to force you or your father?"

Nathaniel's words caused Newell to be slightly taken aback.

"Resistance?"

"Exactly. Your parents were not willing to do any experiments for Kolton. The story began with my grandfather's generation. My grandfather is a scientist who specializes in the research of genes. He once conducted genetic duplication and replacement experiments many years ago. However, he felt that the experiment was against the natural phenomenon and caused turmoil, so he sealed up the results of his experiment. He did not do the experiments on his own as three other people were working with him. They were my grandpa, your grandfather, and someone from the Blu family. Another person was from the Fang family. At that time, the four of them had sworn to pretend this experiment had never happened. My grandfather also locked up the results. From then onward, the four of them went on separate ways."

Nathaniel paused mid- sentence and poured himself a cup of tea. He took a sip and went on, "Things ended there originally. Once, when both my father and Kolton were still in their teens, my grandfather got drunk and brought it up inadvertently, but no one took it seriously except Kolton. He has been looking for my grandfather's research data ever since. Unfortunately, he never found it, but that never stopped him from being interested in it. Hence, he started to study cytology and genetics at a very young age, but my grandfather was determined to stop him. Later on, he fought with my father for the position of the head of the Ye family. He did this to find the genetic data that my grandfather had left behind. My grandpa knew that he was a notoriously vicious person. He knew that he could cause great chaos if he had the data. So, my grandpa had no choice but to expel Kolton from the family."

Many people didn't know about the details of the family feud between Kolton and Nathaniel's father. At that time, they always felt that it was merely an ordinary feud between rich families, and they didn't know about the story behind it.

Newell had been frowning all this time. When he heard Nathaniel's words, there was a trace of anger in his eyes.

"What on earth does Kolton want this genetic data for?"

"I didn't know what he was going to do until Pryce appeared. The dead one, to be exact, should be Pryce No.1." "Huh? What do you mean?"

Newell was getting even more confused as he listened.

Nathaniel sneered and said, "It's true that both Nick and I were Nanny Zhang and Koiton's children. They made test- tubes babies at that time. They made three test- tube babies to increase the chance of survival. However, only Nick and I stayed remained alive, and the doctor abandoned the third baby due to congenital defects. Well, Kolton returned to the research base with this defective embryo. He looked for the four scientists who used to work with my grandfather over time, but they had already died. Among the remaining children, the children of the Blu family started a business. Meanwhile, our family forbade research like this, so there were only your Zhao family and the Fang family left."

Upon hearing this, Newell understood the situation, but he continued listening patiently
