Whispers of a Abandoned Heart

Hamilton frowned slightly.

"Your mother?"

Natalia nodded, "Mason once told me, keepingin the company was just because | looked like someone he

had a crush on. At that time, | doubted everything about him, so | just took it as his excuse. But now, | can't help

thinking, did Mason know my mother? Was he approachingfrom the beginning because of my mother?"

Hamilton's gaze flickered, "You suspect he brought you into the company just to harm your mother?"

The death of Natalia's mother was something both of them suspected Mason had a hand in.

But the investigation only reached their bodyguard and then halted.

The bodyguard never admitted to acting under the old man's orders, even when convicted, he didn't expose the

old man.

There was no solid evidence against the old man.

And Mason was even more out of the question.

When Mason went to play chess with the old man, what they discussed remained a mystery to everyone.

Yet, despite the lack of solid evidence, both couldn't shake off the feeling that Mason was somehow involved in

Natalia's mother's death.

Mason's actions were indeed suspicious.

Natalia nodded.

"Yes, but the only thing I can't figure out is, my mom had no connection with Mason at all. How could he go

through such lengths..."

Mid-sentence, Natalia suddenly thought of something.

Her face went pale, and her grip on the spoon tightened unconsciously.

"What about Patrick? Hamilton, where's Patrick?"

Patrick had mentioned before that her mother was being hunted. Could that have been Mason?

Natalia's mind buzzed.

She was somewhat frightened by her own thoughts.

She had always believed her mother had no ties with Mason.

But she had forgotten, her mother had amnesia, lacking any memory before meeting Patrick.

Could it be possible that her mother knew Mason a long tago?

If that were the case, then everything would make sense.

Mason chased after her mother, but Patrick saved her.

Then, he probably thought her mother was dead? So he never looked for her?

But later, because she resembled her mother, Mason saw her during a collaboration with Ronin.

So, Mason cto Silkwood City, is that it?

Natalia suddenly felt numb all over.

She stared blankly at Hamilton, her hand holding the spoon even trembling.

She suddenly becafraid.

Afraid it was really like this.

If it was really like this, then didn't that mean she brought harm to Tatiana?

Hamilton frowned and took her hand.

"Patrick is still in detention. What's wrong? You look terrible."

Natalia's lips were somewhat pale.

"l want to see him."

Hamilton frowned at her.

"Alright, I'll arrange it."

Natalia looked at the man in front of her, and after a while, she forced a smile.

"Thanks."

Hamilton frowned, his finger unconsciously caressing her pale cheek.

"What's on your mind? You look so troubled."

Natalia felt incredibly chaotic inside.

"Hamilton, | suddenly fear | might have inadvertently invited danger."

If it was indeed like this, she truly didn't know how to face Tatiana.

Hamilton frowned at her.

After a moment, he couldn't help but pull her into his arms, gently patting her back.

"We don't know anything for sure yet, don't jump to conclusions."

Despite saying so, Natalia felt increasingly unsettled.

"Let's have dinner first. After we eat, I'll get in touch with the detention center."

Natalia really had no appetite.

But still, she ate a few bites under Hamilton's coaxing.

Hamilton didn't force her further, only saying softly after she put down her fork.

"Don't go to Greysen's this afternoon, go rest. Tomorrow, I'll take you to see Patrick."

Natalia was silent for a moment, then nodded.

She really wasn't in the mood to see Greysen now.

After finishing her meal, Natalia didn't stay long and left Silkwood City.

Meanwhile, in a café across from Amor Group, a woman exuding elegance sat watching Natalia until her car

disappeared from view before she looked away.

Moments later, she made a call.

"Delilah, let's meet."

After hanging up, she stirred her coffee a few more times before setting the cup down on the table and gently

massaging her temples.

For the past two years, she had investigated everything about Natalia, including her mother.

She had seen photos of that woman, so graceful and beautiful it almost made her jealous.

She wasn't from Boria City, having married into it through an arranged marriage with Mason.

But Mason was exceptionally caring towards her and the child, something she hadn't expected, Mason having a

daughter outside their marriage.

And that daughter was a whole half-year older than her own son, Ronin!

Meaning, when she married Mason, that woman was already pregnant!

So, was this all to keep her in the dark, sending the woman off to Silkwood City?

She couldn't find any background or details on that woman.

Mason had been careful indeed, cleaning up all traces to protect that woman. She sighed lightly.

Upon discovering the paternity test years ago, she had intended to confront Mason.

But such matters, once brought up, meant tearing their relationship apart.

She had never wanted to destroy her family.

But she had never intended to let that daughter off the hook!

Initially, she wanted to act three years ago.

But Natalia had gone abroad just then.

Three years later, when she had almost forgotten about her, Natalia returned.

Delilah was somewhat surprised to see Mrs. Joyner again.

After their conversation at Alfonso's birthday party seemed to vanish into thin air,

she didn't expect Mrs. Joyner to reach out after three years.

"Mrs. Joyner, what brings you here?"

Mrs. Joyner chuckled softly.

"Delilah, how about we team up and take down Natalia?" she said, a playful yet

cunning twinkle in her eye.

Delilah blinked in surprise, her gaze fixating on Mrs. Joyner with a mix of astonishment and curiosity.

She had only intended her words to stir the pot a little, to make Mrs. Joyner give Natalia a hard time.

But to hear Mrs. Joyner suggest they actually get rid of Natalia? That was a step far beyond.

"Mrs. Joyner, | must admit, your words have takenaback," Delilah confessed.

Pain flickered in Mrs. Joyner's eyes as she faced Delilah.

"What? You think I'm not the type to lay a finger on Natalia?"

Delilah let out a laugh, a hint of

skepticism in her voice. "If we're to be

"Does this reason suffice?" she said, her tone serious, revealing a paternity test that would change everything.
