Echoes Of a Forsaken Heart

Chapter 297

Scarlett's eyes flashed with anger, "Is it that bitch Giselle?"

Natalia immediately thought of Giselle too. After all, she was the only one who had seen her getting out of Scarlett's car today. But then again, Giselle was a part of the Schafer clan, Eveleen's cousin, so she hadn't brought it up earlier. Hamilton frowned, about to say something when Scarlett scoffed loudly. "Oh right, with Mr. Fowler backing her up, what's Giselle to fear? A slap on the wrist at most, am I right?"

Hamilton's expression turned icy as he glared at Scarlett, his eyes filled with a cold fury.

Elliott cleared his throat awkwardly, trying to calm Scarlett down, "Ease up a bit, will you?"

Scarlett snorted disdainfully, "Scared to face the music after messing up, huh?"

Hamilton's face darkened even more.

"If it really is her, I won't let it slide. Dr. Scarlett, you might want to watch your tone."

Hamilton felt guilty towards Natalia and had been putting up with Scarlett for Natalia's sake. But at the end of the day, he was still Hamilton. He could lower his posture in front of Natalia, but that didn't mean he would keep tolerating Scarlett. Scarlett got even more agitated upon hearing this. Elliott quickly held her back, leading her to turn her frustration towards him.

"Why are you pulling me back?"

Elliott looked at her seriously, "This is ultimately between Natalia and Hamilton."

"What do you mean 'Natalia and Hamilton's matter'? I'm a victim today too!"

Before Elliott could respond, Alden rushed in, breathless.

"Bro, sis-in-law."

He naturally called Natalia 'sis-in-law', unaware that she had broken up with Hamilton. The title was especially ironic to Natalia.

"I'm not your sis-in-law, Alden. Just call me Natalia."

Alden was shocked and looked at Hamilton in disbelief. Hamilton smiled bitterly, his voice softening involuntarily, "Alden has always wanted you to be his sis-in-law. He was over the moon when he found out I had proposed successfully." Natalia didn't even glance at him, turning instead to Alden. "So, have you found out who was behind this?"

Alden frowned, glancing at Hamilton.

Hamilton's expression was grim. "The surveillance camera where Scarlett parked was conveniently out of order, but from other angles, we saw Giselle heading towards Scarlett's car."

"So, it was her!" Scarlett was livid.

"But we don't have solid evidence," Alden admitted, looking at Hamilton.
