The Clutches Of Hell Novel

Chapter 53

Chapter 53

Nancy stared at Victoria with contempt and gibed, “It is benevolent of you to invite her to your party, but why are you letting her stay by your side? Aren’t you afraid that this murderer will spike your champange with poison when you’re not paying attention?”

Her words were nasty, but none of the people there felt that Nancy had gone too far. If Victoria crippled their daughters’ leg, they would have treated her the same way too. Denise, however, merely looked down with embarrassment. She cleared her throat as she tried to defend her daughter, but no words came out from her mouth.

Hearing that, Evelyn laughed and responded nonchalantly, “It just so happens that I’m having a flu these few days, but I’m not taking any medication as they taste horrible. Since Victoria is a thoughtful child, she might add some flu medicine into my drinks.”

With that, she tilted her head and looked at Victoria. “You have to take note that flu medication cannot be taken with champagne. If something happens to me, you might be accused of attempted murder.”

“If you dislike taking medicine, I can make some lemonade for you as I remember that you have a sweet tooth,” Victoria answered tactfully.

“That’s so sweet of you to remember my preferences.” The crow’s feet around the corner of Evelyn’s eyes showed as she smiled.

Nancy was exasperated as both of them echoed each other.

Denise, who was standing at the side, felt so embarrassed that she lifted her gaze and looked over at Victoria before saying, “Tori, apologize to Mrs. Spritz this instant. You shouldn’t be disrespectful toward her.”

“Mrs. Coleman, I don’t understand what you mean. Was I being disrespectful toward her?” Victoria asked impassively.

Denise turned wide-eyed, for she wasn’t expecting Victoria to address her as ‘Mrs. Coleman’.

“No, you weren’t. She’s catching up on age, and she probably misheard you because of her hearing loss.” Evelyn tried to comfort Victoria as she held her hand and patted it.
