Echoes of a Forsaken Heart novel Chapter 212

Scarlett's bucket toss was impressively swift, accurate, and ruthless.

Eveleen didn't even have a moment to react before she was drenched from head to toe.

The murky water dripped off her, leaving her a mess, and poor Lucinda standing by her side wasn't spared either.

The once immaculate woman was now the picture of disarray.

Bystanders were frozen in shock at the scene unfolding before them.

Natalia, snapping out of her daze, quickly went over to pull Scarlett away.

Scarlett was still fuming, "You backstabber, always scheming and causing trouble. No wonder Hamilton can't stand you. With your venomous heart, sharing a room with you makes my skin crawl!"

Eveleen, already pale from blood loss, now looked even worse with dirty water covering her. Her hands shook with rage.

"You jerk! How dare you splash me!"

"Wasting dirty water on you!" Scarlett added insult to injury.

That's when the room snapped back to reality.

Elliott Lehner, utterly shocked, thought to himself, "Is this woman a bandit or what?"

He'd never encountered such a character before.

Her words, her temper, it was all so...bandit-like!

Lucinda, regaining her senses, let out a shriek.

Victor Henkel watched with a smirk, "Ms. Jenkins' friend sure knows no bounds."

Natalia shot him a look and then dragged Scarlett outside.

Hamilton was leaning against the doorframe, observing the chaos with an inscrutable expression.

Seeing him, Natalia hesitated for a moment.

"Eveleen," Natalia called out from behind, "I'm sorry for what happened in the past, but look at me now, I've received my just desserts. Can you forgive me?"

Natalia scoffed, "Ms. Schafer, this 'punishment' seems rather light. Getting someone to stab you in the chest and that's it?"

Eveleen was taken aback, "Ms. Jenkins, what do you mean? Why would I have someone stab me? Am I suicidal?"

Natalia met her gaze, "Eveleen, some acts are so overdone they're just disgusting."

With that, she didn't spare anyone another glance and pulled Scarlett away.

Hamilton, still by the door, seemed to want to say something but ultimately remained silent.

"Hamilton, you're just going to let them walk away?" Victor taunted nearby.
