The Clutches Of Hell Novel

Chapter 29

Victoria clenched her fists and didn’t look back. “Mr. Spritz, you have a girlfriend. Aren’t you afraid that she will misunderstand you if she finds us here?”

When Lucas’ grip on her shoulder loosened a little, she didn’t even look at him at all and just left the stairway right away.

However, her rotten luck made her bump into Scarlett on the way out.

Victoria paused for a moment and continued walking, but when she walked to the left, Scarlett walked to the left too, and when she walked to the right, Scarlett followed suit, blocking her path entirely.

“Why did Luke want to see you?” Scarlett asked while grinding her teeth.

Victoria didn’t answer her but threw another question at the woman instead. “Don’t you know that I broke Bella’s legs during that accident? Do you think Mr. Spritz would want to be with his sister’s enemy?”

Hearing that, Scarlett hesitated for a moment. Nonetheless, she still felt uneasy about it. “If you have nothing to hide, just tell me why he was looking for you.”

“What do you want to know? You can just ask me instead.” Lucas came out of the stairway, and his expression didn’t look too good.

When Scarlett saw him, the jealousy and anger on her face dissipated and only panic was left. She then ran to his side and linked arms with him before saying softly, “Luke, I…”

Victoria didn’t want anything to do with this couple, so she entered the banquet hall right away since Scarlett wasn’t blocking her way.

However, at the banquet, everyone had glamorous attire with heavy makeup on, chatting with each other with wine glasses in their hands. On the contrary, she had uneven short hair and was wearing a janitor’s uniform, making her look out of place. At once, she didn’t know where to go.

She looked at Christian, who was standing beside Bella while talking to Kevin and Nancy. Although she didn’t know what they were talking about, she saw a faint smile on his handsome face.

Meanwhile, her father and a few men in suits were talking and laughing. He just tilted his head to glance at her and looked away almost immediately, making it seem as though he had seen some dirty rubbish.

This was the first time she realized that she was truly alone.

“Miss, Mr. Thatcher is asking for you,” a waiter came to her and said.

Victoria nodded in exhaustion and dragged her heavy legs over to Christian’s side.
