Echoes Of a Forsaken Heart

Chapter 87

Natalia really didn’t want to ask anymore. The moment the question had left her lips, she regretted it. Even if Hamilton had indeed slept with Eveleen, what could she do about it? It was nothing but a source of unnecessary discomfort.

She sat on the couch, her gaze lowered. After a while, she ventured, “Do you know what happened today?”

Hamilton lit a cigarette.

“Yes.”

“Will you help me? Will you help clear my name?”

Hamilton took a drag and said, “I’ll handle it.”

Natalia looked at him and asked, “It was a setup today, wasn’t it?”

Hamilton didn’t deny it. “It was Giselle’s doing.”

Natalia’s brows knitted tightly. “Does Giselle really have that much clout?”

If she did, she wouldn’t have resorted to spewing nonsense in the alumni chat from the

get–go.

Hamilton’s expression darkened instantly. “And who do you suspect?”

“Don’t you find Ms. Schafer more suspicious?*

Hamilton scoffed, “Do you have evidence, Ms. Jenkins?”

Natalia’s lips were a tight line. She had no evidence, but anyone with half a brain could see it was Eveleen’s doing.

“Because only she has the motive.”

“And Giselle doesn’t? After the scene you made with her at the company, you think she wouldn’t hold a grudge?”

Natalia let out a bitter laugh, realizing that once again, Hamilton would probably stand by Eveleen. She felt a sharp pain in her heart.

“Fine, then enlighten me, Mr. Fowler. How do you plan to deal with it? The same way as before? The nurse speaks out, you fire the nurse. Giselle speaks out, you fire Giselle. Now what? Who will you fire next? With so many people online, how do you plan to shut them all up?”

Hamilton’s face turned to stone.

“Natalia,” he said sharply, “I told you I’d handle this. Is that not clear?”

She looked at the man before her, feeling an acute sense of injustice.
