The Year I Was the Other Woman To Myself novel Chapter 833

When Natalie called Penelope to explain Marico's situation, sorting through the details out loud made her realize just how bizarre the coincidences were.

What if someone had orchestrated the whole thing to frame Marico?

The first person who came to mind was Hamilton.

And the very next morning, Hamilton showed up at her door again.

"It's Saturday. I'd like to take you and Kristin up to the mountains for the day. You should be free, right?"

Seeing his perfectly composed demeanor made Natalie wonder if she was just being paranoid.

"Did you set Marico up to get arrested?" Natalie asked bluntly.

Hamilton didn't look surprised; in fact, a faint smile touched his lips.

"I wouldn't call it a setup."

"So it was you!"

"I told you I'm close with the boss of the Serpent Syndicate. When he was attacked, I naturally checked in on the situation, which is how I discovered the connection between that woman and Marico. I even suggested he let the woman go, but he said he couldn't let the insult slide, so he forced her to call Marico. Marico could have ignored the call. But clearly, he and that woman share a very tight bond, because he walked right into the trap anyway. I was just worried he was heading down the wrong path, and after thinking it over, I decided calling the cops was the safest bet."

Hamilton offered a casual shrug.

"I don't see it as setting him up. I see it as saving him."

Natalie gritted her teeth. "Hamilton, we are entirely done with each other. Why won't you just let us be?"

Hamilton's chest heaved with a heavy sigh. "I told you, our separation was built on a misunderstanding. Yes, you're married now, and I suppose I should offer my congratulations. But you married Marico. I know exactly what kind of man he is, far better than you do, so how could I possibly walk away? This was just my way of showing you his true colors!"
