Echoes Of a Forsaken Heart

Chapter 315

Delilah's words had left Mrs. Joyner with a noticeable flush of embarrassment on her face.

"Mrs. Joyner, that wasn't my intention. I was merely pointing out that Natalia is quite a force to be reckoned with. Whether you take that to heart is entirely up to you."

With that, Delilah gracefully exited the scene, wine glass in hand.

Mrs. Joyner watched her leave, her expression gradually darkening. Despite her attempts to appear indifferent, Delilah's words had clearly made an impact.

Ever since she learned that Natalia, from the Ron Group's branch office, was such a young and attractive woman, she had felt a twinge of unease.

Today, Delilah's comments had only added to her discomfort.

She gestured to someone off to the side, and a man dressed like a bodyguard approached.

"Dig up everything you can on Mason's activities back in Silkwood City," she commanded.

The bodyguard nodded and departed.

As Alfonso's birthday bash officially kicked off, Natalia was summoned once again to the old man's side.

He introduced her to all the notable figures of Boria City, clearly favoring her.

The attendees took note of Alfonso's treatment towards Natalia, speculating that she might soon become another daughter of the Spiegel family, much like Bianca Spiegel before her.

This spurred everyone to be on their best behavior.

Caspian stood beside Hamilton.

"Keep an eye on the Powell family. I have a feeling they're not going to let this go so easily."

Hamilton acknowledged with a nod, his gaze then shifting towards Mrs. Joyner who was raising her glass in his direction from afar.

"Mason, you familiar with him?" he asked quietly.

Caspian frowned slightly. "Mason has always been straight-laced. Back in the day, he was instrumental in growing the Joyner family business to its current size. Why? Is there a problem?"

Hamilton shook his head, lost in thought, just as a commotion erupted outside.

Caspian's expression hardened, and he looked at Hamilton.

Hamilton's eyes flashed with a cold light.

"I'll handle this. You take Natalia and head back."

Caspian nodded.
