The Clutches Of Hell Novel

Chapter 69

Standing in front of the desk with his back to her, Christian picked up his cup of tea and held it to his lips as a dark glint flickered in his eyes. “There’s no fun in punishing you.”

Does he mean that he’s not gonna let Vincent off?! Victoria stood up with a frown before forcing herself to sit down again. Trying to maintain her composure as much as possible, she asked, “I’m not as smart as Miss Spritz is. Mr. Thatcher, could you make yourself clear?”

Christian replied, “Delta Club’s hall has been smashed up. There’s no way you could afford to pay for it in your lifetime with your current salary.” The vases Vincent had smashed were basically antiques.

“You don’t have to worry about this. My brother will compensate for financial losses,” Victoria replied.

Christian put down his teacup and turned around to look at her before putting his hands on the desk behind him for support. “Is he gonna pay me the original price for the things he smashed? That means I’ll only get 100 for every 100 that I’ve lent out. It counts as a loss of money for me.”

“You can tell my brother how much you think he should pay as compensation. He won’t bargain over the price.” Victoria was somewhat relieved. Since he mentions money, there’s probably room for maneuver with this.

“I don’t need him to pay me money.” An inscrutable look flashed across Christian’s eyes as his gaze fell upon her swollen cheek. “I’m very interested in the land that the Coleman Group bid for in Glogan’s newly developed area.”

Victoria fell silent. She had no say in the Coleman Group’s affairs both in the past and the present.

“You’re reluctant to give up the land? Never mind then,” Christian said nonchalantly.

“No, I’m not reluctant!” Victoria said before realizing that she had gotten too emotional. After collecting herself, she said, “It’s just that I can’t make any decisions about this. I have to let my brother discuss it with his family.”

Christian smiled as her figure was reflected in his pupils. “You’d better hurry up, then. My patience is limited.”

Victoria nodded before walking to the door with a frown. Her family was already very displeased with her after she went to jail two years ago for running Bella over with a car. Now that Vincent had gotten into trouble and had to lose a piece of land because of her, her parents would probably hate her even more.

She had just placed her hand on the doorknob when Christian called out to her. “Wait a minute.”

Victoria turned around with her head down, asking, “Mr. Thatcher, is there anything else you want to talk to me about?”
