The Clutches Of Hell Novel

Chapter 52

However, Scarlett was adamant and refused to let him pass, for she knew that he wouldn’t want to argue with her in front of a crowd. “I admit that we do not have feelings toward each other since it’s a marriage of convenience. However, bear in mind that if you get involved with Victoria in front of all these people, you are disregarding our families’ reputation!” Her blood boiled when she saw how annoyed he was at her.

Lucas was tense as he could only watch as Victoria disappeared from his sight. Following that, sorrow flashed across his amber eyes. After taking a glance at Scarlett, he made his way past her.

“Hold on!” She dashed over and stopped in front of him.

“What are you trying to do?” He lowered his gaze and glared at her while asking her sternly.

“There’s a month left until my birthday, and it’s my parents’ wish to announce our engagement during the party,” she said while looking grim.

“So?” He was getting very impatient.

“So you shouldn’t do anything unacceptable since you will soon be my fiance. Otherwise, my family would become a laughing stock.” His impatience made Scarlett even angrier.

“I don’t need you to remind me of what I should or shouldn’t do. You just have to mind your own business!”

“Hopefully you’ll do as you say and not embarrass me like earlier on.” Noticing that more people were looking their way, her expression was ghastly as she took his arm and said, “Let’s go. My parents want to introduce you to a few people.”

Lucas looked at her hand around his arm and pulled himself away.

“Are you trying to let everyone know that we are having an argument because of Victoria?” Scarlett’s expression was horrible as she tried to hold in her anger.
