The Clutches Of Hell Novel

Chapter 36

“You should leave your medicine for yourself, Miss Spritz.” With a disgruntled expression, Victoria stuffed the ointment back into Bella’s hand.

Every word from Bella was hurting her badly.

“Why don’t you u-use the medicine I’m giving you?” Bella said bitterly, the ointment in her hands. “Is it because you love Christian, but he loves me? Is that why you’re jealous of me? Is your one-sided love for Christian stronger than our ten years of friendship?”

“You’re really good at reversing the truth, Bella!” Victoria clenched her fists and said while grinding her teeth.

Bella was the one who framed her, but she was also the one who was acting pitiful. How can someone be so shameless?

“I’m just stating the facts.” Bella sighed before saying softly, “Victoria, Christian didn’t like you when you had no scar on your head and were all dressed up two years ago. Do you think he will now?”

She held Victoria’s hand. “I’m the one he’ll always love. It’ll be a waste of your energy for you to keep hounding here. I’m giving you a piece of advice as your friend here—stop daydreaming. Don’t dream of being a white swan when you’re just a little duckling. You’ll be laughed at.”

After saying that, she stuffed the ointment into Victoria’s hand.

“I said that I don’t need your ointment!” Victoria squeezed every word from her throat and threw the ointment onto the ground in front of Bella.

Then, she bent down and propped both of her hands on Bella’s wheelchair before saying word by word, “I admit that I can’t win an argument against you, but remember this, Bella Spritz—someone will know your true colors one day!”

“What are you doing, Victoria?!” Just then, Lucas and his client got off the elevator, and his expression changed immediately when he saw Victoria’s hostile posture.

“Calm down, Victoria!” Bella’s tears came out so quickly as she shouted while choking up, “So what if you beat me up and force me to say that I’ll give up Christian to you? He doesn’t even like you!”
