Chapter 1183


    "Barack?"


    Then, Terrance smiled awkwardly and said, "Will you make fun of me if I can''t remember him


    clearly?"


    "What?"


    Mango blurted out with great astonishment.


    "Terrance, this isn''t funny!"


    "What? I''m not joking with you, and I can''t remember him clearly because we''re 18 years apart.


    Well, my mother almost aborted me when she was pregnant because she was afraid that she would


    be aughing stock! After all, she was a little too old to give birth to me at that time. Moreover, she


    was worried that Dennis and Barack would not ept this, but I heard that they had persuaded her


    to give birth to me."


    When Terrance talked about this, he was a little gloomy and discouraged. Although Madam Hans


    doted on him very much after he was born, he was upset to learn that his brothers had been the


    ones who had decided his fate.


    Now, Terrance had to admit this because Mango wanted to ask about Barack.


    At this moment, Mango was also a little surprised.


    She seemed to have forgotten about the age gap between Terrance and Dennis.


    After all, Terrance was Mango''s uncle, but he was only in his early thirties. Therefore, she had


    almost forgotten his age.


    Thus, when Mango heard what Terrance had said, she couldn''t help but startughing.


    "Hey! Why are youughing at me?"


    Soon, both of them immediately forgot about their argument once Mango startedughing.


    Right now, Terrance no longer cared about what Mango thought about him. Then, he thought about


    it for a while and said, "In my memories, Dennis was calm, while Barack was naughty and


    rebellious. However, our rtionship was still very good. By the time I went to kindergarten, they


    had already started their university life. At that time, Barack liked the freedom he had, and he often


    went travelling around the world. Thus, he didn''t evene home when he was on a break. We


    often received postcards and gifts from him. Well, in fact, I think that Barack is a very thoughtful and


    caring person. Although we never saw each other much, he knew all our preferences, so he always


    bought suitable gifts for us. Therefore, I think that he cares for every one of us in the family."


    Terrance was a little upset when he talked about this.


    "Do you know what, Mango? I was really furious when Magnolia came to tell me the truth. I was


    angry that Barack abandoned his family for so many years for her. In the end, he never showed up


    when our mother passed away and Dennis sacrificed himself. Well, to be frank, I''m sure he saw this


    devastating news, but he never came back! s! This isn''t what Barack would do, Mango. Even if


    he had a fight with Dennis over a woman, he wouldn''t leave us alone for so long, let alone not


    coming back to pay Dennis and our mother hisst respects."


    After Terrance had finished speaking, he stared straight at Mango.


    Suddenly, Mango was stunned.


    She was quite unfamiliar with Barack, but Terrance''s words were somewhat convincing.


    If what Terrance said about Barack''s personality was true, Barack was definitely not someone who


    would abandon his family. Thus, he probably couldn''te back at that time because he was


    caught up in something.


    Mango furrowed her brows slightly when she thought of this. Then, she felt uneasy.


    "Terrance, do you think that something had happened to Barack?"


    "Yeah."


    Terrance did not n to hide anything from Mango this time. Unlike thest time they spoke, he was


    ready to tell her the truth.


    Then, Terrance smiled bitterly, as if he knew what Mango was thinking. "Well, I didn''t tell you


    anything about Magnolia''s return because I didn''t want you to get involved. Furthermore, I didn''t


    want you to know that your parents never ended up together because of them. After all, you are


    rted to both Barack and Magnolia. Many people were hurt because of this incident, but I think


    that you would be hurt the most because you had to learn the whole truth."


    Mango did not have any hard feelings for Terrance anymore when she heard his exnation.


    "Terrance, I''m not that weak."


    "I know, you''re very strong, and I even feel sorry for you. Besides, if Dennis and Queena were still


    alive, you would have been the precious daughter of the Hans family! Then, you wouldn''t have to


    endure so much. What''s more, the rtionship between you and Nathaniel will also be much


    smoother. After all, the Hans family will protect you and support you much better than the Hans


    family."


    These were Terrance''s true feelings, and he felt that he owed too much to Dennis.


    If he managed to find Mango earlier, perhaps her life would not be as difficult as now.


    Although Mango was doing alright now, Terrance wished that she didn''t have to go through so


    much.


    Mango felt touched upon hearing Terrance''s words.


    s! She was indeed a soft-hearted girl.


    "Terrance, all these have been predetermined by fate. But, fortunately, we''re still together now,


    aren''t we?"


    "Yes, but I hope you can be happier from now on. Well, Mateo and I will take care of the troubles


    you face in the future. Besides, I didn''t tell you the truth initially because I was afraid that you would


    risk your life in Ango to take care of Barack''s issue. However, I didn''t expect you to find out about


    Magnolia''s visit."


    Terrance forced a smile after he spoke.


    He was too nervous and shocked at that time. Thus, he had forgotten that it was easy for Nathaniel


    to find out what happened in the Ocean City. Therefore, he was not prepared for Mango''s


    questions.


    Now that Terrance knew that Mango understood the whole picture, and she had thought about


    going on a vacation, he felt that there was nothing he could hide anymore.


    Needless to say, Mango thought of this as well. Then, she asked, "Terrance, aren''t you afraid that I''ll


    change my mind?"


    "Well, you also need Nathaniel''s approval before you can leave Ocean City alone, right? Besides, I


    don''t think he''s willing to take the risk as there are major upheavals here as well as in Ango. I''m


    sure that you''ll get a clearer picture of what''s happening here once you leave the country. Thus, I


    think it''s fine for you to know the truth."


    Mango was stunned when she heard what Terrance had said.


    After all, Terrance was more experienced, so Mango felt that he was a lot smarter than her!


    "Hmm, Magnolia came to you because she wants you to help her out in Ango, right? Then, what


    are you going to do now, Terrance? "


    "Yes. Well, she hopes that I can use the Hans family''s power to help seize her power back in


    Ango."


    Mango furrowed her brows when she heard Terrance''s response.


    "She has managed to fake her death in Ango for 20 years! How could she lose all her power


    instantly just because her subordinates betrayed


    her?"


    Obviously, Mango did not believe this at all.


    On the other hand, Terrance did not believe it either. However, when he heard Mango, he took out a


    few items and passed them over to her.


    Mango was confused to see this, but she took and looked at them. Suddenly, her expression


    changed.


    "H... how is this possible?"


    Mango voice trembled as she looked at the information that Terrance had given her.


    Terrance sighed, "s! I pity Magnolia too! She thought that she could finally decide her fate and


    protect the people she loved. But, in the end, she found out that all her efforts were futile. After all,


    the man has been controlling all her decisions and actions since the beginning.


    "Is the person you''re talking about... the king?"


    Terrance nodded after hearing Mango''s guess.


    Then, Mango frowned as she looked at the information in her hand.


    "Ah, Bettany Zhang! She''s one of the king''s subordinates! Doesn''t Magnolia know about this?"


    "I''m not sure. Well, she wouldn''t havee to me for Bettany''s sake and asked me to help her


    regain her lost power in Ango if she knew about it."


    Terrance was very shocked when he received the news, but now, he understood everything.


    "Magnolia and Bettany met when both of them were going through some hardships. Well, Bettany


    saved Magnolia''s life and helped her to fake her death, so Magnolia truly trusted Bettany. However,


    Magnolia didn''t expect Bettany to be the king''s spy, so the forces that Magnolia thought she had


    were actually under the king''s control. Therefore, the subordinates only knew that Bettany was their


    leader. Furthermore, Magnolia didn''t know that Bettany had betrayed her as she had already treated


    Bettany like her own family. Otherwise, how could such a powerful group perish in the blink of an


    eye?"


    Mango was thunderstruck by this revtion when she heard Terrance''s exnation.


    After all, she thought that Magnolia hade back on purpose. This was because she thought that


    Magnolia wanted to feign sympathy and ask Nathaniel or the Hans family so both her and Lebanon


    could seize power! However, now, Mango realised that Magnolia had returned empty-ended. Mango


    could not describe how she felt now, but she felt upset.


    "How., how could it be Bettany?"


    Mango felt dejected when she thought about how


    Bettany was one of the king''s henchmen.


    After all, Bettany was rted to the Ye family as she was Wisdom''s master. Hence, Mango was


    worried because Wisdom had spent quite some time with Bettany.


    In the past, Mango had thought that Bettany was kind to Wisdom because Wisdom reminded


    Bettany of her son. However, Mango could not help but wonder now if there were some hidden


    intentions behind her actions.


    When she thought of this, Mango was and upset. Furthermore, she felt like killing Bettany for using


    her son.


    After all, Mango couldn''t stand anyone who was trying to use her children!


    Suddenly, Mango understood why Terrance had confessed the truth today.


    He wanted her to leave here as soon as possible with her kids, and he did not want Wisdom to get


    hurt.


    After all, the king could''veid another trap by using Bettany''s injury as bait. Therefore, he wanted


    to get the Hans family, the Ye Family, and the Xiao family to gather in Ango. Furthermore, the king


    was the one who had allowed Magnolia to return safely to Ocean City as well.


    This meant that Magnolia was only a decoy to connect the three families. Hence, the king used


    Bettany to lure Magnolia into his trap as he knew that she cared about Bettany very much. Thus,


    this man was terrifying indeed!Copyright by N?v/elDrama.Org.


    The king of Ango seemed to be targeting the three families in the Ocean City.


    Who on earth was the king? Why did he have to go through these lengths to deal with these three


    families?


    What did they have against each other?


    Suddenly, Mango''s eyes narrowed as she thought of this.


    "Terrance, did the Hans, Xiao and Ye families offend the same person more than 20 years ago?"


    Terrance was stunned when he heard Mango''s question.


    "I''m not too sure. Hmm, I was still very young 20 years ago, and Madam Hans didn''t mention it to


    me either. But I can''t think of anything rted to that. But that shouldn''t have anything to do with


    this, right?"


    Was the past really unrted to this?


    However, Mango felt that something was amiss.
