The Clutches Of Hell Novel

Chapter 49

However, Victoria quickly restrained herself from succumbing to her impulses, knowing well that Christian would never let the Coleman Family go easily if she did that.

“Victoria, are you too embarrassed to ask me for help?” Bella pondered for a while and gave her a suggestion. “Mr. Coleman and his family are on the way here, so perhaps I could talk them into helping you or even letting you go home.”

Soon, one of the bystanders chuckled and said, “Look who’s here. Speak of the devil.”

“No thanks, Miss Spritz.” Victoria tried her best to suppress her anger, keeping a stiff upper lip with rage filling her eyes.

“Are you worried that Mr. Coleman won’t let you go back?” Bella seized Victoria’s hand and said, “Don’t overthink things, alright? You won’t know if you don’t try. I think there is still a chance that Mr. Coleman will go soft on you since you’re still the Coleman Family’s daughter.” Without giving Victoria a chance to turn her down, Bella raised her hand and waved at Glen. “Mr. Coleman, would you please come over here with Mrs. Coleman?”

“I said no! Can’t you understand me?” Victoria shook her hand off Bella’s grip, making sure her point was clearly understood. After all, she was aware of Glen’s unwillingness to see her, knowing that they would fall out if they met each other. As for her mother, Denise, she had no idea how she felt toward her.

Meanwhile, Bella was stunned, staring at her hand that was shaken off by Victoria with a bitter look on her face. At the same time, her eyes were filled with tears, but as they were about to roll down their cheeks, she tried her best to fight them back.

“Are you out of your mind, Victoria?” Lucas took a few steps closer to Victoria, his eyes full of rage and hatred. “How could you be so mean to Bella? She is just trying to help her.”

When the bystanders around them saw what happened, they began to gossip in murmurs. “What’s wrong with her? Miss Spritz is just trying to help her out. Besides, has this lady forgotten that Miss Spritz decided to drop the charges even though she crippled her and put her in a wheelchair for the rest of her life? Tsk!”

“This is what people have become nowadays. Good deeds aren’t necessarily rewarded with good karma. People who do all the bad things get to live a comfortable life, ironically!”

“Know your place, Victoria!”
