Echoes Of a Forsaken Heart

Chapter 90

Victor’s business was typically buzzing with the hustle and bustle of financial disputes and the like. He was a busy man, sure, but he wasn’t one to lose his cool.

That was until Hamilton gave him that heads–up to watch his back with the board of directors.

Victor went back and shook up the whole board, ruffling more than a few feathers in the process. It was only a few days ago that he realized the board was squeaky clean. The real troublemaker with all those financial snafus was Hamilton.

because of me?”

Victor narrowed his eyes, considering her words before replying, “Hamilton’s known about me and Eveleen for ages, and he’s never raised a fuss about it!”

Natalia remained indifferent, “Then maybe you should ask Mr. Fowler. Perhaps he’s just grown tired of seeing you and Eveleen together.”
