The Clutches Of Hell Novel

Chapter 31

Vincent said, “You’ve survived two years in prison, haven’t you? Just hang in there for a little longer, okay?”

Victoria licked her dry lips, not answering him.

“Do you not believe me?” Vincent raised a hand. “I swear, if I don’t keep my word, I’ll get run over by a car when I go out, and get struck by lightning on rainy days. I will not die a proper death!”

Victoria grabbed his raised hand. “Vincent, don’t say that…”

“No, it’s not better at all.” With her voice hoarse, Victoria interrupted and said, “Vincent, do you know how it feels like to be called a murderer everywhere you go?”

She took a deep breath and said shakily, “Do you know how embarrassing it is to kneel on the ground while apologizing to others? Do you know… How terrible I felt when Dad ran away at the sight of me?”

In prison, she kept telling herself that everything would be better when she was released.

However, when the time came, she realized how cruel reality was.

“Vincent, just pretend you never had a sister. Just let me leave in peace, alright?” Victoria tried to smile. “I will try my best so that it looks like a pure accident. I won’t let Christian get any excuses to turn his wrath on the Coleman…”

His usually perfect suit was a little messy, and there was a thin layer of sweat on his forehead, perhaps because of the higher temperature in the ward or something else.

Victoria’s face instantly turned pale. She was terrified and panicking at that moment.
