The Clutches Of Hell Novel

Chapter 30

“Why didn’t you say anything if you were here all along? You scared me, coming out so suddenly!” Ellie smiled shyly, then dragged the blushing Jessica with her and left.

Once they left, Victoria finally trudged toward the washbasin with her legs which felt like lead.

She washed her face, and when she looked up at her reflection in the mirror, she realized that her eyes had unknowingly reddened.

She took a deep breath, trembling. She bit her lip to suppress the sobs in her throat, then bent over to wash away the tears on her face.

Victoria gathered herself and returned to the banquet hall, only to find out that the banquet had already ended.

She exited the hotel and looked for the car, but no matter where she looked, she couldn’t find the Bentley… Christian had left her behind.

“That’s settled then, Mr. Coleman. I’ll have my secretary send the contract over tomorrow.”

“Sure! I’ve always wanted to partner up with you, and I’ve finally found the opportunity.”

Hearing the familiar voice, Victoria turned around to look at the entrance of the hotel. She wanted to go forward but hesitated out of fear. She simply looked at Glen as she froze.

When he saw her, Glen immediately stopped smiling. He simply glanced at her with a frown before averting his gaze.

“Dad.” While gripping her hands, Victoria mustered her courage and walked over to him. “Christian isn’t here, so you don’t have to—”

You don’t have to avoid me like that.

“Mr. Lowe, I still have something to attend to, so I’ll be leaving now.” Glen immediately interrupted her and opened the car door, leaving as soon as he got into the vehicle.

Victoria stood where she was, dumbfounded. As she watched the car disappear from sight, she felt lost and bewildered, her heart chilled to the core.

Pedestrians and cars passed by, and lights illuminated the streets. People were chatting and laughing nearby. The city was bustling at night, but the liveliness had nothing to do with her.

The cold breeze blew in her face, and her dry face was moistened with tears yet again.

“No one wants me anymore…” Victoria mumbled, licking her dry lips as she walked straight toward the traffic.
