The Clutches Of Hell Novel

Chapter 42

Chapter 42

Victoria looked into Lucas’ eyes and nodded. “Whether you believe it or not, that’s the truth.”

“Two years in prison, and you’re still lying through your teeth like before!” Lucas sneered, unsure if he was actually angry or jealous.

Even when she was this down and out, her eyes were still on Christian and never him!

“If you say so,” said Victoria with her eyes drooped moments later.

Nothing she said would make a change if that person didn’t believe her.

With that, she turned around and headed into the washroom.

“Victoria!” Lucas grabbed hold of her and pinned her against the wall, denouncing, “Is it not enough that Bella can’t dance anymore because of you, and now you want to seduce her boyfriend?! Have you thrown away your conscience?!”

The two were so close that they could see each other’s fine hairs clearly.

Lucas lowered his head to look at her, and upon seeing the scars on her face, his heart twinged for a second, and it suddenly felt like a needle had pierced it.

Though she has always had a devil-may-care attitude, she minded her face like every other young woman. But now, there was such an obvious scar on her face.

“You’re right. I am seducing Mr. Thatcher.” Victoria propped her hands against his chest and mocked at his ear, “You’ve got one thing wrong, though. The one who threw their conscience away was never me.”

The wisp of warmth lingered around his ear, giving it an inexplicable romantic ambiguity. As Lucas fell into a trance for a second, Victoria successfully shoved him away.

With that, she fixed her bangs to cover up the scar. As she turned around, she inadvertently found Christian standing not far away.

He wasn’t wearing his suit jacket, and the buttons on his white dress shirt were fastened all the way to his collar button, making him look super aloof but also somewhat distant.

She felt inexplicably nervous as she didn’t know how long he had been standing there, as well as how much he had seen and heard. As such, she reflexively wanted to explain. “Chris—”

The next moment, the man walked past her and went into the men’s, never sparing her a glance.

He hadn’t ignored her because he was mad but regarded her as non-existent through and through.
