The Clutches Of Hell Novel

Chapter 71

“That’s a pity. I quite like Tori.” Evelyn sighed lightly. “Then, why don’t you check when you’ll settle things with Bella?”

Christian frowned and didn’t reply.

“If you don’t have someone you like and you’re dragging it out like this, losing a few hundred million and making your grandfather unhappy won’t be worth it,” Evelyn warned.

Christian took a bite of the food. “I know what I’m doing.”

Evelyn heaved a long sigh. “Usually when you say so, I’ll be able to relax. But, for some reason, when I hear you say it this time, I feel even more worried.”

Christian lifted his eyes to glance at her before he lowered his head again to resume his meal, changing the subject. “Victoria burned her leg and is now in Alden Hospital.”

“How did she get burned?” Evelyn put down her spoon, her face slightly surprised and worried. “Is the injury serious?”

Christian replied, “She scalded herself with hot tea and needs to be hospitalized for some time.”

“Hot tea?” Evelyn raised her eyebrows slightly. “I heard that the kid from the Coleman Family ruined one of your clubhouses and splashed Bella with hot tea. Was the burn on Tori’s leg caused by Bella ‘accidentally’ scalding her with hot tea?”

Christian hummed in reply.

Evelyn tittered and said meaningfully, “I don’t know if it’s a good or bad thing that their family has such a sly daughter.”

She looked at Christian, who was eating with his head down, and lightly knocked on the table twice. “You don’t usually come home for dinner. What’s with the sudden change? Did you come back just to tell me about Tori’s leg injury today?”

“You’re thinking too much,” Christian said.
