Chapter 1308


    Mango had assumed that Nathaniel''s contact, Prisci, would provide timely information.


    Surprisingly, Magnolia had delivered the information way before Prisci did.


    After recalling her previous spections, Mango tried not to look surprised and asked, "What is


    Augustus'' true identity?"


    "I haven''t sorted the information yet, but I can tell you more about it."


    Magnolia replied softly and nced at Mango before she continued.


    "Augustus'' real name is As, and he is the younger brother of the ruler of Ango."


    Mango noticed that Magnolia sounded uneasy at the mention of Ango’s ruler.


    It seemed that she had made a right guess. The man in ck was probably Ango''s ruler.


    But didn''t Ango go into a lockdown?


    Why did the ruler travel to her country then?


    Also, why did he have to torment Magnolia?


    Did he do this to rescue Augustus?


    Was it all because of his younger brother?


    If that was the case, Augustus belonged to the royal family! Thus, how could he live his life as an


    ordinary person for over thirty years willingly?


    Hence, they probably had a reason to stay under the radar all these years!


    Mango had a lot of questions racing through her mind at that instance.


    Meanwhile, Magnolia had no idea what Mango was thinking, so she said, "I just found out recently


    that As left Ango more than thirty years ago. At that time, the ruler kept a tight lid on this


    information. Later, I heard that he went abroad to further his studies. Since then, there was no news


    about him, and no one inquired about his whereabouts. As time passed, everyone forgot about him


    slowly. Furthermore, the ruler had deliberately tried to erase his traces, and no one even saw As''


    wife! As such, As gradually disappeared without a trace. After so many years, not many people


    know about As except the ruler''s aide, as they were all dead. Hence, As has been safe and


    sound all these years."


    When Magnolia said this, she felt an itch in her throat. Did she catch a cold?


    She tried her best to remain casual as she didn''t want Mango to notice that she was unwell.


    Urgh! Of course, she had gotten a child because she had been exposed to the cold wind while the


    man had assaulted her.


    That man was definitely out of his mind as he paid no heed to her body''s condition!


    At this thought, a murderous intent shed across Magnolia''s eyes, but it quickly vanished.


    On the other hand, Mango was stunned when she heard what Magnolia had said.


    She was shocked by As’ identity, but something came to her mind instantly.


    "Wait... is As a married man?!"


    "Yes, he married amoner in Ango. However, As has always been rash. He got married to


    prove that he was uninterested in the throne, so he hastily married a poor orphan. Thus, the ruler


    was very concerned about his brother and even felt that he was in As'' debt.


    Magnolia told Mango everything that she had found out.


    In fact, she had found out Augustus'' identity much earlier, but she had kept this information to


    herself. She had nned to use that piece of infomation to bargain for a chance to meet Barack.


    However, she did not expect the hardhearted man to outright refuse her request.


    After all those years living in great misery, she should have known that the man would never be


    sincere to her. However, she had naively hoped that he would show some kindness because she


    had stayed by his side for so many years. Clearly, she had expected too much.


    Therefore, she had decided that she would ruin his entire n.


    Right now, Magnolia would go all out to make sure he would not seed.


    After all, she had enough of living a life worse than death. Furthermore, she didn''t want to be


    separated from her family, her lover and her son.


    Even if Magnolia ended up losing her life because of this, she felt that she could finally be free for


    once.


    On the other hand, Mango had no clue about Magnolia''s secret n. She only had a lot of


    questions after hearing what Magnolia had said about Augustus.


    She felt that a lot of details were interconnected, and she suddenly understood what Magnolia was


    saying. However, she couldn''t connect all the details and understand the whole picture.


    In the end, Mango finally gave up.


    "Aunt Magnolia, thank you for your effort. It must have been hard for you to find all this information."


    "Don''t mention it. I''m d that I can help you! To be honest, I have my ns too. I hope to capture


    As so that he can tell me where Barack is."


    Mango was touched after hearing what Magnolia had said.


    Both her mother and Magnolia had been separated from their respective lovers their whole lives!


    s! Why were this pair of twins this unlucky?


    Mango had no answer to that as she only felt her chest getting heavier.


    "I''ll find it out for you. Don''t worry."


    Mango knew that Barack was Magnolia''s only motivation for survival. Otherwise, perhaps Magnolia


    would have died a long time ago.


    Mango felt especially sad at the thought of her aunt dying.


    The Xiao family''s daughters were all faithful lovers, but unfortunately, none of them had a happy


    ending. On the contrary, Mango felt relieved that her aunt had chosen the wrong husband.


    However, she did not dare to stay here any longer. This was because she was afraid that she would


    end up telling Magnolia what she had seen just now.


    Hence, Mango then stood up and said, "Aunt Magnolia, it''s gettingte now, so you should rest.


    Tomorrow, I''ll ask Lebanon whether he can find out about As'' whereabouts from Lilian." "All right."


    Magnolia did not stop Mango either.


    After all, she was in a bad mood, and she didn''t want to deal with Mango. In fact, she might not


    have been able to suppress her bloodlust if she had not prepared As'' information beforehand.


    Well, the person she wanted to kill was that man, not Mango.


    After all those years, she had thought that she could at least get her way and outsmart that man for


    once! However, she didn''t know that she was only a fool in his eyes!


    That feeling did not sit well with her, and it almost drove her crazy.


    Then, Magnolia closed the door after sending Mango away.


    On the other hand, Mango stared nkly at the closed door and felt a little uneasy as she did not


    know what Magnolia had in mind.


    She then went back to her room.


    The surroundings had quietened down, and her bedroom seemed particrly silent.


    No one would normally enter Mango''s bedroom. Hence, Nathaniel had chose to rest on her bed


    instead of his secret chamber. When he heard that


    Mango had returned, he opened his eyes and sat up.


    "You''re back!"


    Nathaniel could tell that Mango was upset when he saw hering in.


    She had been downcast ever since they discovered Magnolia''s secret.


    However, Nathaniel let out a sigh and said softly, "Don''t be sad. I believe everyone has their path


    and destiny. It''s a pity that she has a tough life, but she can only go through this harsh period


    alone."


    On the other hand, Mango fully understood the situation, but she still felt anxious.


    Then, she came to Nathaniel and wrapped her arms around him. Finally, she felt a little relieved and


    rxed.


    Meanwhile, Nathaniel allowed her to do whatever she wanted.


    "Let''s not think about it anymore, alright? It''s gettingte. Shall weturn in early?"


    Mango shook her head and repeated everything that Magnolia had told her about Augustus.


    She thought that Nathaniel would be shocked, but he appeared nonchnt instead. Hence, Mango


    was confused by his reaction.


    "Aren''t you feel surprised? Augustus is actually


    from the royal family of Ango!"


    "Nah, I already know that."


    After hearing Nathaniel''s answer, Mango immediately recalled that he had talked to Prisci before


    she had left the room.


    "Did Prisci reply already?"


    "Yeah, that''s right."


    Then, Nathaniel nodded and continued to say, "Not only do I know that August is actually As, but


    I also know who Augustus was married to back then."


    "Who was it?"


    Mango had been thinking about this question, but she just could not find an answer to it.


    Then, Nathaniel stared at Mango and said slowly, "As was married to a woman called Laney


    Gaylord."


    "Come again?"


    Mango''s eyes widened at once when she heard this.


    Did she hear what he said wrongly?


    How could Laney be married to As?


    Was she not Koiton''s wife?


    Nathaniel was just as surprised as Mango when he first got the news, but he had already calmed


    down now.


    Then, he patted Mango''s long hair and said softly, "That''s right, he was married to Laney Gaylord.


    Back then, to prove to the ruler that he had no intention to take over the throne, As hastily found a


    poor woman to marry. However, he couldn''t drop his yboy lifestyle after being married and


    continued to see other women. Having said that, he didn''t leave any illegitimate children behind.


    Even if he looked down on Laney, he still needed her to give birth to his child as she was his legal


    wife. That''s why he might have betrayed all the other women that he slept with, but he never did


    anything to upset Laney."


    After hearing Nathaniel''s exnation, Mango seemed to have understood the whole situation, but


    she still found it hard to believe.


    "Does that mean that Bernard is Laney and As'' son? But I thought Bernard''s DNA report showed


    that he is the son of the ruler!"


    Mango stared at Nathaniel while asking this. When she saw the corners of Nathaniel''s lips curling


    up into a smile, she knew that she had made a right now guess!


    Bernard was indeed As'' son!N?velDrama.Org owns this text.


    s! As could be so harsh towards Maverick because he had a son who was capable and was


    protected by Ango''s ruler. Hence, he would favour Bernard more than Maverick.


    After all, Mango had always felt that no matter how terrible of a father As was, he would never


    ignore his only son. Only now did she realize that it was because he already had a son before


    Maverick. In other words, he had pinned all his hopes on Bernard.


    Therefore, he could barely care about what happened to Maverick!


    At this thought, Mango was furious.


    Nathaniel was equally enraged. After all, Maverick was his older brother, and he would feel more


    upset after hearing about this truth."


    Just then, Mango stretched out her arms and hugged Nathaniel tightly. She said, "Dear, we''ll make


    As pay for everything! Urgh! He''s so evil!"


    "Of course! I''ll make sure he dies a painful death!"


    Nathaniel''s eyes shed with hatred as he said these words."


    Mango then asked, "Based on what we''ve found out, the ruler knows that Bernard is As'' son.


    However, he kept it a secret and watched as his son fought with Bernard. Is he out of his mind?"


    However, Nathaniel replied coldly, "No, he should be looking for the strongest heir, or perhaps As


    has an agreement with him. The ruler may not have wanted to give his son the throne, but he could


    hand it over to Bernard instead."


    Mango was utterly dumbfounded when she heard this.


    Was he nning to hand over the throne to Bernard?!


    How horrible!


    Bernard had caused them a lot of trouble, even though he had not seeded the throne. Urgh! She


    could not imagine what would happen to them if he really became the new ruler.


    Wait a minute!


    Was she still missing something?
