Echoes of a Forsaken Heart novel Chapter 215

Natalia looked up, her stomach churning with disgust.

Victor stood before her with a smirk that wasn't quite a smile, "Long time no see, Natalia."

Without a word, Natalia tried to walk past him.

But Victor blocked her way again.

"Am I really that terrible, Natalia? You won't even spare me a glance?" he quipped.

Natalia let out a derisive laugh, "Mr. Henkel, you're quite self-aware, I'll give you that."

Victor's face still held that infuriating smile.

He huffed, "Yet, I find myself particularly drawn to you. What to do?"

Natalia sidestepped him, holding back her revulsion, "Then, Mr. Henkel, you're as despicable as ever!"

Victor seemed unfazed by her harsh words.

To him, a woman with spirit was all the more thrilling.

And Natalia, in his eyes, was the kind of woman who ignited a man's desire to conquer.

"Still hoping Hamilton will take you back?" Victor taunted as Natalia walked towards the elevator.

Victor chuckled from behind, "You saw it yourself. Despite how harshly Hamilton treated Eveleen, he can't let her go. You'll never understand how important Eveleen is to him. You, my dear, will always be the third wheel."

Natalia paused, turning to look at Victor, "Do you know what you look like right now?"

Victor's impatience grew as he faced her. He hadn't expected Hamilton to commit Eveleen to a psychiatric facility for Natalia's sake.

He had hoped to swoop in once Natalia left Hamilton.

But now, his chances seemed slim.

Desire flashed in his eyes as he looked at Natalia.

He considered taking a drastic step, not believing Hamilton would turn against him over a woman.

He stepped forward to block Natalia, but she quickly stepped back and delivered a sharp slap across his face.

The slap drew the attention of everyone around.

"If you lay a finger on me, I'm calling the police!" Natalia warned.

Victor, red with fury, sneered, "Don't worry, Natalia. I wouldn't dream of doing anything here."

Touching his stinging cheek, he added, "But remember, this is the second time you've hit me. I'll make you pay for this!"

With a menacing threat, Victor left.

Natalia watched his retreating figure, still feeling nauseous.

She knew if not for the crowd, Victor might have acted on his threat.
