Echoes of a Forsaken Heart novel Chapter 230

The video was silent but spoke volumes.

It lasted only a few seconds, yet Natalia's face was unmistakably clear.

She was struggling, but her feeble attempts appeared entirely different on screen.

Combined with the flush on her face, the scene took on an ambiguous tone.

Natalia's face turned pale as she watched.

The comments below were downright vile.

"Damn, this lady's wild."

"That face, that body, freaking irresistible."

"Got me all worked up, babe, wanna hang out?"

"I'd die happy if you'd let me have one night with you."

The filth was overwhelming.

Soon, someone shifted the conversation.

"Isn't that the hot translator that went viral a while back? She was with a different guy then."

"Man, she made it into the Foreign Affairs Department? She's totally tarnishing their reputation."

"Maybe she's got a sugar daddy in the department."

"I heard some higher-ups there are taking 'special care' of her."

"Really? Climbing the ladder with her looks?"

The comments quickly descended into chaos.

Then, someone brought up her past drama with Eveleen and Hamilton, reigniting old flames.

Eveleen's fans, still seeking an outlet for their frustration, latched onto Natalia with fervor.

Seeing Natalia's distress, Scarlett quickly took back her phone.

"Natalia, stop looking."

Natalia was visibly shaken.

She thought she was over this, but the hurtful words cut deep.

Her heart ached, unable to fathom who could be so relentless.

Taking a deep breath, she tried to compose herself.

"I need to make a call."

She reached for Scarlett's phone, intending to call Ronin.

But before she could dial, Scarlett's phone rang.

Seeing the caller ID, Natalia's grip tightened.

"It's Hamilton, isn't it?" Scarlett asked, noting Natalia's reaction.

After a moment's hesitation, Natalia nodded.

"If you don't want to answer, I can," Scarlett offered.

Natalia shook her head and answered the call, knowing Hamilton was likely calling about the video.

"Hamilton."

His voice was slightly hoarse.

"Don't worry, I'm handling it. All the nonsense online will be gone soon. I've already spoken to Minister Dawson; you don't need to worry."

Natalia bit her lip, finally asking, "Was it Victor who released the video?"

At the mention of Victor, Hamilton scoffed, "No, he couldn't even if he wanted to now."

"What do you mean?"

Hamilton didn't elaborate, instead asking softly, "Feeling better?"

Natalia replied quietly, "I'm fine."

"Yeah." Hamilton paused before adding, "Still angry?"

Natalia remained silent, her feelings obvious.

How could she not be angry?

She had trusted Hamilton, believed he would respect her.

Yet he had taken advantage of her.

"Hamilton, let's not discuss this now!"

Hamilton chuckled, "Natalia, you were the one who clung to me. I'm only human, and I couldn't resist, especially since I missed you so much."

Natalia was appalled by his audacity, "Have you no shame, Hamilton?"
