The Clutches Of Hell Novel

Chapter 59

Christian’s legs were crossed while he leaned against the back of the chair. His voice was cold as he commented, “Then, you should also be aware that the plummeting of shares caused by the misleading news would not be a fatal blow to the Thatcher Group.”

“That’s for sure. The Thatcher Group has a strong foundation, so a small impact on its shares won’t cause anything except a loss of a few billions. Chris, you are a businessman, so you should not know that you shouldn’t bear the responsibilities for an unimportant person,” Bella slowly reminded.

“It’s definitely nor worth it if it was for an unimportant person.” He grabbed his knees while his right hand clasped his knees. There was a cold light in his eyes as he added, “To lose a billion to eliminate someone who pushes my buttons? Well, that’s worth it.”

Such a sentence had rendered the office in a state of silence.

One could even hear a pin drop.

The smile on her face froze before it returned to normal a second later.

She bypassed the broken fragments of the teapot as she wheeled herself backward. “Chris, you are being too solemn with your words. Just like what I said earlier, I did not follow you or ask someone to track you. It’s also not necessary. I came to the Delta Club because I merely wanted to discuss my brother’s engagement next month with you.”

Her figure was also reflected in Christian’s eyes, which gave rise to his indifference.

Christian took a cup of tea and brought it to his mouth when the memory of Victoria’s thigh full of blisters and scars suddenly flashed in his mind. After that, he placed the cup down with a slight frown.

“If you are still uncomfortable with that idea, I can guarantee that I won’t come to the club without your permission in the future.” Bella smiled bitterly.

“Oh.” He softly hummed without making her too annoyed. Then, he changed the topic. “You said that you came to discuss your brother’s engagement next month with me, am I right?”

She nodded and softly replied, “At Mrs. Thatcher’s birthday banquet yesterday, my family is aware of how entangled Victoria was with my birthday. My parents are worried that at the engagement party for my brother and Scarlett, Victoria will cause a scene. That’s why I’m here to look for you.”

“Look for me?” The two words of ‘entanglement’ caused Christian’s eyes to darken while he felt discomfort in his chest. Then, he gently fanned his shirt.

“Yeah.” Bella carefully observed his movements and slightly clenched her right hand before she quickly released it. “Victoria is an employee of the club and you’re her boss. So, would you be able to arrange for her to work more for the days leading up to my brother’s engagement ceremony? Also, please ask a few employees to keep an eye on her so that she won’t cause any more trouble.”
