The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)

Without a word, Priscilla attacked Tristan's face directly. Tristan hadn't been paying attention to her at first. However, when Priscilla lashed out at him, he immediately reached out and grabbed Priscilla's hands before pulling her into his embrace.

"Princess, what are you doing? Are you angry because I gave you the antidote instead of using other methods to relieve the poison in your body? Well, if you want to do that, I will gladly spend the night with you so that we can understand each other."

"Urgh! How shameless!"

Even if Priscilla had indeed thought about this before, she would never admit it now.

After all, she felt that she was so dumb! How could she think that Tristan was a polite scholar? In fact, she had wanted to spend the night with him!

This man was not polite at all! He was simply a cunning fox who had been putting up a docile appearance to deceive people.

On the other hand, Mango looked at both of them, who were flirting with each other. She felt that she was third- wheeling right now, but she couldn't leave the room. Hence, what could she do now?

While she was thinking about it, Nathaniel jumped in from the window and was slightly stunned when he saw this scene.

"What's going on?"

His voice wasn't loud, and he pulled Mango over without alarming the two people who were arguing with each other.

Tristan saw Nathaniel, but he didn't have time to say anything. On the other hand, Priscilla had utterly lost her temper. Thus, she didn't pay attention to anything else that was happening. In fact, this was the first time she had neglected Nathaniel because of someone else.

Hence, Mango told the whole story to Nathaniel softly, and his lips curled up in a smile when he heard what was going on.

"Tristan, please treat Princess Priscilla well. After all, I think of her as my sister."

After Nathaniel finished speaking, he turned around and jumped out of the window with Mango.

When Priscilla heard Nathaniel's voice, she paused for a moment. Then, she turned around just to see him leaving with Mango.

How could he abandon her just like that?

What did he mean by asking Tristan to take good care of her?

Urgh! He must have bene desperate to get rid of her.

Although Priscilla had made up her mind to give up Nathaniel, she still felt upset at what had happened.

At this thought, she started tearing up.

Meanwhile, Tristan saw that she had stopped fighting and asked in a low voice, "Do you like Nathaniel?"

"It's none of your business."

Priscilla was so furious, but she had nowhere to vent her anger. Hence, now that Tristan was standing in front of her, she wouldn't hold back her temper anymore.

"Forget about him, he's not suitable for you. Furthermore, he's Mango's husband, so I won't allow you to covet him."

Priscilla was stunned when she heard what Tristan had said.

"Hey! Why do you care so much about Mango? Do you like her too? If you do, then you should try to win over her! Don't you think that you're being a coward right now? Tristan, you should stop lying to yourself!"

However, Tristan smiled and said, "Who told you that I like Mango? Well, even if I like her, it's not the type of feelings that lovers have for each other. After all, the person I like is you, Princess."

"Bah! Don't talk nonsense!"

Priscilla snorted, but she was actually a little surprised.

Did Tristan like her?

What kind of joke was he trying to make?

This was the first time they had met. Would he tell her that he fell in love with her at first sight?

Well, even if it was true, she would not accept it.

Priscilla was lost in thought when she saw Tristan walking towards her.

"Hey! What... what are you trying to do?!"

Tristan, who was currently standing in front of her, looked slender and weak. However, Priscila had fought with him just now, so she knew he was skilful in martial arts. Furthermore, she knew that she couldn't win over him!

At this thought, she felt depressed.

When Tristan saw Priscilla's wary expression, he couldn't help but smile and say, "Don't you know what I'm going to do? Everyone outside knows about its, though. Even though I've removed the aphrodisiac in your body, I think it'll be better for you to become my lover because you're coveting after Nathaniel!"

"How dare you!"

Priscilla suddenly took a step back and exclaimed when she heard what he had said.

Why on earth did she feel like Tristan looked harmless previously? Furthermore, why did he think that she would just marry him like that? Right now, the man in front of her was like a hunter, and she had become her prey. She couldn't struggle to break free, so she felt terrified!

This was the first time Priscilla had felt scared because of a man.

She turned around and wanted to run, but Tristan suddenly caught hold of her and pulled her into his arms.

Priscilla was a little disgusted by the cologne he was wearing. However, it was too late for her to defend herself. Instead, she felt a slight prick in her neck before she fainted, and she ended up falling into Tristan's arms.

When Tristan saw this, a trace of distress flashed across his eyes. However, the corners of his mouth lifted into a smile as he muttered, "You're such a silly girl! How could I allow the woman I love to run away so easily? I told you that I like you, so how could you not believe me?"

After that, he put Priscilla on the bed and pulled the quilt over her. At the same time, he hit her again to make sure that she was fully asleep. Then, he took out a computer from the side and typed quickly. Soon, a bunch of codes appeared on the screen before it connected him to Mateo.

Then, Mateo's image appeared on the computer screen.

"Tristan, my men have just got to Isla and the girls. Now, we're arranging them to send them back to their countries and for their parents to come here to get them. However, at the same time, we should get evidence of Laborn's crimes quickly. After all, we won't be able to explain ourselves if Laborn claims that we have kidnapped these girls instead!"

"Don't worry, Uncle Mateo. Mango and Nathaniel are settling these problems now, and they should be done soon. Let's not contact these girls' families until we have the evidence. Take them back to the country first. It's dangerous here now, so you will expose your identity if you continue to stay here."

Tristan said quickly.

However, Mateo was a little worried about him.

"Are you sure that you can handle this alone?" "Uncle Mateo, have you forgotten that I've always survived alone all these years?"

Tristan smiled as he said this, but there was a trace of loneliness and bitterness in his smile.

Suddenly, Mateo felt bad for Tristan immediately.

"Also, I heard that one of my brothers, Barack, has returned to the country. Nathan and Mango found him and sent him back to the Capital to recuperate. However, he isn't doing quite well mentally. He has been imprisoned for many years and has been through inhuman torture. Thus, he must have had a hard time as he managed to stay alive for so long. Anyway, he doesn't know your identity for the time being. Once I tell him about it, I think he will come and look for you as soon as possible.

After hearing this, Tristan suddenly paused.

"Is he alright?"

"I don't know because I didn't see him either. Anyways, I will be going back to meet Barack this time, so I wanted to ask you something. Can I tell him about your real identity?" Mateo asked carefully.

Tristan's eyes looked blank for moment, but he started tearing up.

"Uncle Mateo, my mother, Magnolia is with him. If he's doing alright, she will tell him that I'm her and Barack's son! More than twenty years ago, my mother had no choice but to hand me over to the Acker family's head and raise me up behind everyone's back. She even announced to the public that I was the illegitimate son of the Acker family's head so that she could save me as I was Barack's descendant. Back then, my mother saved the Acker family's head, so the Acker family treated me very well and treated me like my own son. However, my mother received punishment on the third day after she gave birth. Two months later, she had even become Laborn's seventh life! She also became the Seventh Madam of Laborn two months later. She hid the truth about my identity all this while, so I think she has her own plans. Thus, Uncle Mateo, even though I really want to return to the Hans family and become Tristan Hans, I don't want to harm my mother. Let's not talk about this first. I'll decide what to do once my mother makes her decision."

Alas! No one knew how upset he felt. Although he didn't have to worry about surviving in the Acker family, he knew that he was from the Hans family. Furthermore, he knew that he was one of Z Country's citizens and Barack's son. Therefore, he studied hard and found Mateo when he was 16. Then, he changed his nationality to Z Country and took the opportunity to join the military of Z Country when he was studying overseas. In the end, he had become an outstanding soldier too!

After all, the Hans family was a family of soldiers. The blood of the Hans family was flowing in his veins, so he had the same belief as the other family members.

Furthermore, his mother had endured humiliation for so many years. Others didn't know what she was suffering, but he did. However, Lebanon was involved in this matter now, so Tristan had to pay attention to

it.

Although he hated Laborn and wanted to kill him, Lebanon was still his biological brother as they had the same mother!

Therefore, he couldn't ignore how Lebanon was doing.

However, he couldn't tell them the truth yet because of the circumstances that they were currently in.

Various thoughts immediately began running through Tristan's mind, so Mateo felt distressed and distressed when he saw this.

"Alright, it's up to you. However, you must be careful when carrying out your mission. After all, Mango and Nathan are already in a dangerous situation. Also, I've already received an order for the higher-ups. They want all of you to complete this mission together. Tristan, I don't want anything to happen to my family, including you. Do you understand what I'm trying to tell you?"

"I do, Uncle Mateo. Don't worry. As long as I'm here, nothing will happen to Mango and Nathaniel. Alright, I'm hanging up. Also, please help me tell my mother that I'll be bringing my future wife back. After saying that, Tristan glanced at Priscilla, who was sleeping, as the corners of his lips lifted into a smile.

"What?"

Mateo was a little surprised when he heard what Tristan had said.

Over the years, Tristan had been devoted to studying and researching medicine. Thus, he had never been interested in any women. Hence, when did he suddenly get a wife? However, Tristan didn't care about what Mateo was thinking and cut the line immediately. Then, he went to bed and lay down next to Priscilla.

The unique fragrance on her body filled Tristan's nose, and he liked it very much.

When did he start to like her?

Suddenly, Tristan remembered what had happened during the spring he had turned eighteen.

His life was in danger at that time because of a mission. Thus, he was about to pass out because of the pain when he heard a beautiful female voice by his ears."

"Hey, this man is handsome, but a little dirty. Haha! Maybe he can be one of my slaves when he wakes up, or we can sell him off to some rich family for some money!"

Tristan was so angry after hearing these words that he fainted. When he woke up, he had been treated.

He learnt that the girl who saved him was called Priscilla. Furthermore, he knew that she liked drinking tea and enjoyed eating durian. Also, he knew that she had a crush on a man that she could never have. Well, he had learnt all this while Priscilla had tortured him. Even though he had suffered quite a great deal of pain back then, he still remembered what had happened back then.

Now, he recognized her, but she did not remember him. Well, the naughty girl who had tormented him for half a month had grown up into a beautiful lady.

However, he needed to get his revenge, right?

At this thought, a mysterious look flashed across Tristan's eyes.
