The Clutches Of Hell Novel

Chapter 73

Victoria pursed her lips and didn’t make a sound. If she agreed, Nancy would make things twice as hard for her, but if she denied it, Nancy would put the blame on her brother. As she could not win either way, she chose to remain silent.

“Bella was kind enough not to press charges against you even though you almost ran her over, and only made you serve two years in jail, yet you repeatedly tried to harm her!” Nancy strode up to the hospital bed. Using her carefully-manicured fingers, she poked Victoria’s forehead forcibly. “Did you sell your conscience to the devil?!”

Victoria’s forehead immediately turned red, but she did not struggle.

Seeing this, Lucas frowned. He subconsciously took a step forward, but quickly retreated, and looked away from the two.

“Is this how you’ve been brought up, Mrs. Spritz?” At that moment, Christian, who had finished his phone call, pushed the door and walked in.

When Nancy saw him come in, a flash of surprise flashed across her eyes, and her gaze moved from him to Evelyn with a vague tinge of anger. “Evelyn, you and Christian came over together after dinner?”

“Christian, why did you come so late?” Evelyn also had a surprised look on her face.

Meanwhile, Christian’s expression did not change. “I just finished my work at the company, so I came over.” He glanced at the unusually obvious redness on Victoria’s forehead. “Are you dumb? Can’t you dodge?”

“I’m not dumb.” But I can’t dodge.

No matter how badly Bella hurt her, she was only being ‘careless,’ but as her brother had blatantly splashed Bella with tea, she was ‘in the wrong.’

Christian hummed meaningfully before averting his gaze.

“Let them say what they want. Just focus on drinking your soup. It’ll get cold if you don’t drink it soon.” Evelyn served another bowl of soup and handed it over to Victoria, who thanked her and took a small sip.

The soup was fragrant and full of umami, but she couldn’t savor it. If she could, she would prefer for her parents, not Evelyn, to come to the ward to take care of her and protect her from outsiders.
