The Clutches Of Hell Novel

Chapter 38

His gaze was giving Victoria too much pressure. She tightened her back muscles and stood up. “I’m sorry.”

Her actions were so big that it made the slit on her bodycon dress sway front and back.

Although there was an obvious scar on her legs, it didn’t make people feel that it was hideous. In fact, it was resonating with the floral prints on her dress, making her even more alluring.

A few of them fixed their gazes on her and couldn’t get their eyes off Victoria.

Seeing that, Christian put down his wine glass as his eyes turned dark. He leaned back onto the couch and crossed his legs before saying coldly, “Get out.”

“This new girl is too naive, squeezing into such a small space. It’s spacious beside me. Come and sit here,” one of them said with a smile while patting on the couch.

At this moment, Christian stared at Victoria, and his lips were so tense that they became a line. The darkness in his eyes was obscure as well.

“Thank you, Mr. Lambert, but it’s okay.” Victoria suppressed the humiliation that she was feeling and forced a smile. “Mr. Thatcher doesn’t like me to sit beside him. I’ll just stand here.”

“Is Mr. Lambert being rejected?” Someone laughed.

Mr. Lambert smiled and said resignedly, “Sigh, it’s normal. Mr. Thatcher is so handsome and charming. I’m nothing compared to him! However, it’s better this way since I don’t need to be punished by my wife when I get back home.”

Hearing that, everyone in the room laughed together, but their topic returned to business almost immediately.

Christian didn’t ask Victoria to leave, but he didn’t look at her at all, making it seem as though he was treating her as an invisible person.

As the others chatted and talked about business, he just said one or two sentences occasionally. The rest of the time, he was just sitting there quietly.

Even so, no one dared to neglect him. Although it looked like they were talking happily, they would look at him from time to time and change the topic when they felt that something was wrong.

“It is really our pleasure to be able to invite Mr. Thatcher today. Let me give Mr. Thatcher and everyone here a toast!” Someone stood up and raised his wine glass at Christian and the others with a smile.
