Chapter 293

By the time Hamilton arrived, Alden was already waiting at the doorstep.

"Fix me something to eat," Hamilton said, his voice deep and weary.

After a brief exchange with Alden, Hamilton's brooding presence seemed to fill the space around them.

Alden frowned, concern etching his features. "Bro, what's going on?"

Hamilton's voice was icy. "Nothing. Just seeking some comfort, that's all."

Without another word, he walked inside.

The moment Patrick saw Hamilton, hope sparked in his eyes.

He instinctively felt Hamilton was here to save him.

"Mr. Fowler, I swear it wasn't me. I was duped, I had no intention of crossing you," Patrick stammered.

Hamilton settled into a chair and lit a cigarette, a mocking laugh escaping him after a long drag.

"Patrick, if it wasn't me you were after, then who?"

Patrick paled, realizing Hamilton wasn't in a forgiving mood. His heart skipped a beat.

"Mr. Fowler, please, I was just being used. Let me go, for Eveleen's sake."

"Patrick." Hamilton's gaze was lethal. "Bringing up Eveleen now?"

Patrick stammered, realizing the gravity of his situation.

"What do you mean, Mr. Fowler?"

"You think the Schafer family can play me for a fool?"

Patrick's face went ashen, panic setting in. But he fought to keep his composure. "Mr. Fowler, I don't understand what you're implying. The Schafer family has never wronged you. Eveleen might be headstrong, but her feelings for you are genuine. Perhaps there's been a misunderstanding?"
