Chapter 321

Natalia reached out directly to Dawson over the phone.

The news of her wanting to resign hit Dawson like a ton of bricks.

"Natalia, we can work through this."

Tears instantly welled up in Natalia's eyes.

She let out a bitter laugh.

"Mr. Dawson, I'm exhausted. I need a break, really, I'm just so tired. I can't keep playing these games anymore. If they don't want me in the Foreign Affairs Department, then even if we resolve this now, there'll just be something else later. I'm just so tired."

As Natalia spoke, her voice broke into sobs.

Dawson felt an unexpected pang of sympathy.

"Alright, stop crying. If you're tired, then it's time to stop. Take a good rest."

Natalia nodded through her tears.

After hanging up, she closed her eyes to the world.

Hamilton looked at her with a heart full of pity.

Alden frowned at Hamilton, "The news?"

"It goes out as planned."

Soon after, both the Ivy Group and Fowler Group websites published a statement.

"Love at first sight, a four-year courtship, and a proposal that was finally accepted, only to be delayed by the passing of a mother-in-law. Our child is the fruit of our love, a destiny we cannot reject. We ask for privacy during this personal time," Hamilton stated.

Following that, the scandal involving Delilah Powell attempting to meddle in Natalia and Hamilton's relationship somehow leaked.

Instantly, the tide of public opinion turned from criticizing Natalia to attacking Delilah.

Delilah hurriedly claimed it was an arranged marriage by her family.

But Hamilton's public declaration of his feelings for Natalia rendered Delilah's defense weak.

Previously disgraced in Boria City for a separate incident, Delilah now faced public mockery once again for interfering in someone else's relationship.

Fuming, she vented her frustrations by smashing things at home.
