Echoes of a Forsaken Heart novel Chapter 250

Natalia practically bolted from the car.

Hamilton watched her flustered departure, chuckling to himself.

He picked up his phone and shot her a message.

Don't forget to miss me. I'll swing by in a couple of days when I'm free.

No sooner had he sent the message than his phone buzzed again.

Staring at the caller ID, Hamilton finally sighed and answered.

The moment he did, a furious voice blasted through.

"You good-for-nothing! Are you trying to give me a heart attack?"

Hamilton didn't respond, instead lighting a cigarette to calm the storm inside him.

The voice on the other end, belonging to Westley, continued to roar.

"So, you're willing to turn against your own brother over a girl, Hamilton? Impressive!"

Hamilton chuckled, "You flatter me. Ever since he got back, you've kept him so close. How could I possibly get to him?"

"Hamilton, cut the crap. Get back here right now!"

Hamilton remained silent, simply ending the call.

On the other end, Westley was so angry he nearly choked.

Orpheus lay in a hospital bed, battered and bruised.

The Fowlers were fuming with rage.

After hanging up, the old man stomped over to Orpheus's bedside, cursing internally at the sight of him.

He had hoped to use Orpheus to threaten Hamilton, but now that plan seemed laughable.

A deadbeat is just that, a deadbeat.

But he swore, as long as he lived, that girl would never be welcomed.

Natalia saw Hamilton's message as she entered the airport lounge.

Holding her phone, she hesitated before replying with a simple "Ok."

Hamilton, seeing her response, couldn't help but smile.

Natalia arrived in Boria City by 9 p.m.

Right off the plane, she received a call from Collin.

"Natalia, I've arranged a ride for you. There's been a slight hiccup, and we need you at the Foreign Affairs Department tonight."

Natalia paused, puzzled.

Collin had told her the meeting at the Foreign Affairs Department was scheduled for the next morning, followed by her immediate departure.

"What happened?" she asked softly.

Collin was silent for a moment before explaining.

"Natalia, you were the original pick for this mission, but this evening, the Foreign Affairs Department received several anonymous letters accusing you of having an inappropriate relationship with Minister Dawson. They're questioning your previous endorsement by him too. You might have to prove yourself in a fair competition, but I believe in your capabilities."

Natalia's face darkened as she listened.
