The President’s Mistake A Tale of Love and Regret novel Chapter 508

Nathaniel hung up on Freya, taking a deep breath. He couldn't believe she was still pressing him about the divorce agreement. Although ignoring her calls felt a bit childish, it was less painful than hearing her talk about divorce directly.

"Mr. Nathaniel," Koen walked in, standing before Nathaniel. He had changed into a jacket, which was bulging suspiciously, clearly hiding something.

"Everyone is ready. Should we head to Ravenwood now?"

Koen and his team had discovered that Ethan's hometown was Ravenwood, where he owned a large vineyard. Nathaniel had stationed people at all the exits and the airport, combining forces with Sawyer's men to ensure Luna couldn't escape. Right now, Luna's only refuge would be Ethan.

Nathaniel's expression darkened. He despised being played, and Luna had crossed a line. Freya was his bottom line.

"Let's go. I'm coming too."

"Mr. Nathaniel," Koen quickly interjected, "we can handle it. It's better if you stay here."

Nathaniel pocketed a handgun into his coat and shot Koen a cold glance. "I no longer trust you all."

Koen was left speechless, his face twitching slightly, unable to argue.

The situation in Pontenero had deteriorated, and they all bore some responsibility. It was no wonder Nathaniel had lost faith in them.

"Mr. Nathaniel," Koen hesitated. "Hudson... he wants to join us too."

"He stays here."

Nathaniel's tone was icy, and Koen didn't dare plead further for Hudson. He followed Nathaniel out of the room.

Nathaniel paused after taking a few feet and turned to face Koen. "We must properly inspect every individual holding authority in Pontenero. Deal with those that need to be dealt with, and eliminate those that should be removed. We are at Pontenero, and I am in charge of it."

He added, "Check all the surveillance footage. Anyone found conspiring behind my back, throw them out."

A thin layer of sweat appeared on Koen's forehead. Checking all the surveillance felt excessive, but it showed just how furious Nathaniel was this time.

Koen quickly acknowledged the command and followed Nathaniel out of the apartment. To his surprise, a tall man in a gray trench coat with an upturned collar approached them.

Hudson?

Koen was startled. He had advised Hudson not to come, yet here he was, making the situation even more awkward.

"Mr. Nathaniel," Hudson blocked Nathaniel's path, leaving him no room to leave.

Nathaniel glared at Hudson, fuming. This was their first encounter in days, during which Nathaniel had deliberately kept Hudson at arm's length.

"Get out of my way!" Nathaniel growled, trying to sidestep Hudson. If they hadn't been friends, he would have kicked him aside without hesitation.

Hudson remained unmoved. Nathaniel's frustration was palpable; his gun nearly pointed at Hudson's forehead. Suddenly, Hudson dropped to his knees.

Koen opened his mouth to speak, but Ozzy grabbed his arm and signaled for him to stay quiet. Given the situation, trying to intervene would be pointless.

"Mr. Nathaniel, let me handle this. This isn't just your problem; it's mine too. I was the one who persuaded you to keep Luna," Hudson pleaded. "I should take responsibility. I need to ask her what all these years of brotherhood meant to her."

Nathaniel's brows furrowed deeply as he stared coldly at Hudson. "Brotherhood? Is that all? Do you think we're blind?"

Hudson was stunned, his gaze dimming as he stood there, feeling as if he'd been slapped in the face.

Hudson had always had feelings for Luna, but she was interested in Nathaniel.

Knowing he couldn't compare to Nathaniel, Hudson had tried to support her.

He never expected things to spiral out of control, with Nathaniel falling for the daughter of his enemy, believing no other woman could compare.
