Echoes Of a Forsaken Heart

Chapter 81

“I swear it was an accident. You’re not mad at me, are you?”

The moment Giselle saw the onlookers, her smile vanished like morning mist and was replaced by a doe–eyed expression.

Natalla snorted inwardly. Her eyes reddened slightly as she glared at Giselle.

Giselle and Eveleen were peas in a pod.

Then, under the watchful gaze of the crowd, Natalia grabbed a bowl of hot soup fresh from

the microwave and splashed it all over Giselle, “Oops, my bad. I hope you won’t hold it against me, Giselle!”

Giselle, who was drenched in soup, let out a shrill scream, “You witch, how dare you do this

to mel?”

“If you have the guts, why shouldn’t I?” Natalia retorted, dropping the bowl and heading toward the sink.

Giselle was fuming and cursing under her breath, “You home–wrecker! Natalia, you’re nothing but a mistress. Everyone look closely, this is the ice queen, Ms. Jenkins, who is shamelessly playing the other woman!”

Natalia clenched her fists tight. She had intended to rinse her arm at the sink, but suddenly, she spun around. “Spreading lies can land you in jail, Giselle. Watch your mouth,” she warned.

Giselle sneered, “What? Ashamed to admit you’re a mistress?”

Natalia, towering over the shorter woman in her high heels, challenged, “Accuse me all want, but where’s your proof? Who’s home have I wrecked, Giselle? Show me the evidence.”

Of course, Giselle had none.

Where would she get it?

Eveleen hadn’t reconciled with Hamilton, so how could Giselle possibly have proof?

But she wasn’t about to back down, “Huh? How dare you feel superior as a mistress? And how dare you even ask for proof?”

Natalia coldly dialed 911 on her phone, “Well then, let’s take this to the station and see if they need evidence!”

Watching Natalia make the call, Giselle’s face twisted with dread. She glowered at Natalia, “You’ll regret this, Natalia. I’ll make sure your reputation is ruined!”

With that, she stormed off.
