The Clutches Of Hell Novel

Chapter 16 Two Years Cannot Change a Person’s Nature

Christian’s intimidating aura and piercing gaze could seemingly see through everything, causing Bella to take a nervous step back as a hint of panic flashed across her eyes. “Yes, Victoria said that she’ll be with Lucas if he breaks up with Scarlett,” she said weakly, leading Christian to sneer, allowing the frost beneath his eyes to spread.

He knew it! Two years certainly couldn’t change a person’s nature.

“Christian.” Bella felt absolutely uncomfortable at the thought of what she saw the second she came in. “Victoria still wants to hook up with you while keeping an ambiguous relationship with my brother. Who knows if she has any STDs when she’s so licentious. Best that you stay away from her.”

The frost beneath Christian’s eyes deepened upon hearing the word ‘licentious. “Who are you to tell me to stay away from whoever?”

“Christian, please don’t get me wrong. I’m just worried about you.” Bella’s eyes turned red with oncoming tears in an instant, making her look exceptionally pitiful.

However, the man only looked coldly at her and said nothing.

“Christian, I really have your best interests at heart,” she reiterated defenselessly, biting her lip.

“I know better than anyone what your purpose is.” Christian bypassed her and walked toward the door as a hint of disgust flashed across his eyes. “Don’t think about using your dirty tricks on me.”

Blood drained from Bella’s face instantly, but when she wanted to say more, he had already strode away.
