Chapter 1533
When Mango saw Nathaniel immersed in deep thought while lowering his head, she knew she had
hit the nail on the head.

If Mango guessed it correctly, the person who poisoned Marcelo on the night of Tessa''s wedding
and instructed him to poison Tessa would likely be someone from the Soo family.
At the thought of this, Mango felt a little upset.
It was painful to be betrayed by one''s loved ones. How would Tessa feel if the someone from Soo
family really poisoned her?
Once Mango thought of this, she hurriedly asked, "Nathan, how was Tessa''s position in the Soo
family back then?"
"She was highly respected. As I mentioned before, she was the best soldier under mymand.
Even though Noah is a great person, he has devoted himself to the military. That''s why Tessa was
able to dominate the Soo family. Tessa was a proactive person with strong physical endurance. She
was the only female member of the special forces, yet she was a match to the men in any fight."
Nathanielmented Tessa''s past. Such a talented woman had destroyed her future in this way.
Upon hearing this, Mango knew that she was on point.
"If that''s the case, do you think that Tessa has a chance to be the head of the Soo family?"
Nathaniel froze momentarily before it suddenly dawned on him.
"Do you think the person that poisoned Tessa was from the Soo family?"
"Yes, that''s right."
Mango didn''t hide her assumptions from Nathaniel.
"Think about it, if Tessa was a strongpetitor back then, it was very likely that someone would
have secretly assaulted her. Besides, Carlson was arrested at that time. Tessa had no one to back
her up, so that was the perfect chance to go after her. If that was the case, perhaps Marcelo was
the subordinate of the person who wanted topete for the position of the head of the family. That
was why that person asked Marcelo to marry Tessa. After all, having Tessa in his control would be
reassuring. Furthermore, Tessa was having a tough life after marriage, so naturally, she didn''t have
the energy topete for the position of head of the family. Plus, if Tessa lost her ability to fight,
wasn''t she just an ordinary woman?
Naturally, she wouldn''t pose any threat."
Nathaniel pondered over Mango''s words.
"If someone from the Soo family really poisoned Tessa, why did they poison Marcelo too?"
Mango said in a low voice, "That''s because the Soo family was afraid that Carlson would be
sessful again. After all, he is the heir of his family. As long as he is alive, he will naturally be
released from prison. Carlson is supported by the head of his family. He won''t die just because he
was sentenced to a few years in prison. It would only dy his growth and ns for a few years. If
Carlson still cares about Tessa, it will definitely be bad news to the Soo family. To put it bluntly, if
one day Carlson bes the head of his family, the Soo family will be the thorn in his flesh. If
that were to happen, the Soo family naturally won''t be able to develop in the future. Therefore,
keeping Tessa alive is the Soo family''s backup n. Once Carlson really does rise to power one
day, the Soo family can use Tessa to exchange for their prosperity. Perhaps they were also aware
that Tessa was pregnant at that time."
Mango''s eyes darkened at the thought of this possibility.
"Although the Li family are aristocrats, they are still lower than the Soo family in terms of status. The
marriage alliance between the Soo family and the Li family was supposed to be a good thing, but
Marcelo Li was not an ordinary person, was he?"
Mango had guessed from Marcelo''s grievances and anger that he was a very capable person. He
was probably the most promising young man of the Li family.
Nathaniel nodded and said, "Yes, Marcelo was a talented young man at that time. He was indeed a
good businessman who had proved himself in business."
"That makes sense. If the Su family doesn''t take the Li family down, it is very likely that Marcelo will
lead them to greater heights. At that time, if the Soo family wants to take control of the Li family and
ask for favors from Carlson in the future, they won''t stand a chance. Moreover, the Mo family will be
grateful to the Li family for raising Carlson''s daughter. So the Li family will gain support from the Mo
family and rise to power. The head of the Soo family must have thought of this, so he took the Li
family down before thetter could be sessful. Then, he poisoned Marcelo so that he would not
be able to sleep with Tessa. By doing so, the Soo family will have a chance to be a sessful
family in the future."
Nathaniel understood many things from Mango''s exnation. A trace of concern shed across his
eyes.
"What''s on your mind?"
"I''m thinking about Noah."
Nathaniel didn''t lie to Mango. He said in a low voice, "If you''re right, then Carlson is definitely up for
revenge. After all, the Soo family will definitely have to pay the price for scheming and poisoning his
loved one. However, Noah is a member of the Soo family. Even if he lives a free life, he is still a
member of the Soo family."
Mango finally remembered that Noah was also part of the Soo family.
"Carlson won''t punish Noah too, will he? Moreover, Noah is only a doctor now."
"But Noah''s father inw is the lieutenant colonel."
Nathaniel knew what Carlson was capable of. The Soo family was at fault. Carlson would definitely
act in a swift and decisive manner once he made his move. Moreover, Ocean City''s four young
talents were too well-known. Even if Carlson didn''t make a move, the head of his family would still
take the initiative to attack those families so that Carlson could have a peaceful reign once he rose
to power.
Since ancient times, it was dangerous for those in power to be more influential than their superiors.
This was especially true when there was a change in the governing party.
Mango couldn''t help but furrow her brows.
She remembered the time when Carlson was in the Ye''s Mansion. No matter how she looked at it,
he was a yboy and a dandy. He wouldn''t be a vicious man. However, Nathaniel would not bring
this up for no reason.
Argh!
Why was Tessa a member of the Soo family?
Mango felt a little upset. After all, she and Genevieve were good friends.
Nathaniel said in a low voice, "Mango, call Genevieve and tell her about Tessa. If you can think of it,
Genevieve will be able to think of this too."
"Why am I the one who tell her?"
Mango thought that Nathaniel and Noah were good buddies. Wasn''t it better for Nathaniel to just
pass a message to Noah?
Nathaniel looked at Mango, who seemed confused, and whispered, "I can''t contact Noah right now."
"Huh?"
Nathaniel knew that Mango was still perplexed. He sighed and said, "Noah is now in the Santell
capital."
"So what if he is there?" "I retired recently and was being investigated due to the matter concerning
Tristan. Although it seems to be over on the surface, many people are watching my every move. As
soon as I contact Noah, he will be suspected even though he has nothing to do with the matter
concerning Tristan. At present, being suspected will not benefit him."
Mango immediately understood the situation, but she still had some questions.
"But wasn''t it the same if I contacted Genevieve?"
"It''s different if you''re the one who does the talking."
Nathaniel smiled faintly. There was a cunning smile at the corner of his mouth.
"You''re a woman. It''s not a big deal for women to gossip among themselves. Moreover, you don''t
need to say Tessa''s name. You just have to say that you met a little girl who is good at acrobatics.
I''m sure you know what I mean."
Mango instantly understood what he wanted her to do.
She was on a vacation with Nathaniel, and she was close to Genevieve. It was understandable for
her to chat with Genevieve about some interesting matters she encountered during her trip.
However, it wasn''t her fault if Genevieve had identally obtained any useful information from their
casual conversation.
Mango couldn''t help but look at Nathaniel. She happened to see a sly look in his eyes. She broke
into a smile and say, "If you''re by Carlson''s side, Carlson can achieve anything he wants with the
strategies in your head."
"I just want to spend my time with my wife and children. Besides, the reputation of the four talents of
Ocean City is too eye-catching."
Nathaniel had known long ago that a famous person would attract trouble. Now that the regime had
changed, all the wealthy families should be wary not to get ckmailed by someone else. If the
wealthy families formed an alliance at this time, it would certainly be an annoyance to the
superiors of the country. The destruction of their family would then be imminent. As a matter of fact,
those who had be the head of their family could definitely understand this, couldn''t they?
Nowadays, people who had been keeping an eye on politics would notice that a change was
coming. Naturally, the heads of the families would need to handle certain things with care. However,
every single incident of Nathaniel''s family had involved other families. If the Ye family still
maintained a close rtionship with the heads of the other families, they would follow in the
footsteps of the Li family.
Once the superiors made a move, it would be starkly different than that of the Soo family.
Nathaniel had already thought of this when Mango guessed that it was the head of the Soo family
who had poisoned Tessa.
The Hans family and the Xiao family were inws of the Ye family. Naturally, it wasn''t easy to draw a
line and stay away from them. However, it wasn''t impossible if one put one''s heart into it.
Nathaniel narrowed his eyes. Mango was stunned for a while when she saw the excitement and the
calctive look in his eyes.
No matter when it was, he could always attract her attention. Even though he had lost his immature
youth, his current mature look was even more alluring.
Nathaniel seemed to have sensed Mango''s gaze when he suddenly came back to his senses. His
heartbeat increased when he saw his wife''s infatuated gaze.
"Honey, let''s spend our time doing something meaningful."
Mango saw the evil look in Nathaniel''s eyes. She was no longer a little girl, so she naturally
understood what he meant.
She blushed slightly as she said with a smile, "Get lost! I still have to chat with Genevieve."
"You can talk to her after we''re done."
"No, I will be too tired."
Mango struggled and sprang away from Nathaniel''s embrace. She quickly ran to the study.
Nathaniel couldn''t help but feel a little sad when he saw his wife''s action.
For goodness'' sake, was he that scary?
After Mango entered the study, she felt her face burning like hot coal. Nathaniel was really...
She smiled and shook her head. Then she remembered that the importance of Tessa''s matter, so
she didn''t dare to dy any further. She immediately gave Genevieve a call.
It was six o''clock in the morning at Genevieve''s ce. She was still sleepy and hadn''t woken up
when she received Mango''s call.
"What''s up? Wasn''t you in bed with your husband? I don''t expect you to call me."
Mango was speechless when she heard Genevieve''s teasing words.
Why was everyone talking about doing something meaningful in bed?
Noah hugged Genevieve from behind and spokezily. Mango could hear him over the phone.
"Mango, have you forgotten that we''re in different time zones?"
Then only it urred to Mango, but it was a little toote. Since Noah was there, it would be the
perfect time to tell them about Tessa.
"It did slip my mind, but I''ve encountered something interesting. I need to talk to Genevieve. As you
know, we will prefer our conversation to remain a girl''s talk. No man in our presence."
Mango''s words rendered Noah speechless.
He nted a kiss on Genevieve''s face before getting up. At the same time, he heard Mango talking
excitedly about meeting a little girl who was good at acrobatic.
Upon hearing Mango''s excited voice, Noah stood up and went to the bathroom with a gloomy look.
Genevieve also sat up and leaned against the headboard. However, she had a feeling that Mango
would not be that bored to call her and share about some acrobats.
Would Mango call her in the early morning just to share some gossips?
