The Clutches Of Hell Novel

Chapter 79

Sitting on the bed, Victoria ate the dragon fruit silently. After all, she was never a natural socializer, regardless if it was in the past or the present.

“The hallmark of a good lawyer is to be able to argue properly, and not just to speak incessantly. How many mistakes do you think your opposing lawyer would have uncovered with how tactless you’ve been speaking?” Matthew knocked Janice on her head.

With the knock from Matthew, Janice instantly turned quiet with her eyes whirled round, as though Matthew had pressed the pause button on her. However, the silence only lasted for ten minutes before she continued, “Your name is Victoria, right? Victoria, will you still be going back to work at Delta Club after you’re discharged?”

“Yes.” Victoria’s eyes flickered with hints of gloom when she stopped eating the dragon fruit halfway through, as she wasn’t sure if her plan in seducing Christian would be successful. Even in the case where she succeeded, she contemplated whether he would allow her to leave the club. There was still the possibility that she would still be kept in the club to be humiliated after he was done playing around with her. Nevertheless, there was no other way for her except for this plan, even if the chances of success here were slim.

“Hmm, you gotta go back, huh…” Janice pondered hard, her baby face all scrunched up. Then, as though a light bulb went off in her head, she jumped and hung onto Matthew with her arms around his neck and her legs around his waist.

Seeing this, Victoria accidentally choked. Letting out a few coughs, she cleared her throat and wiped off the dragon fruit stains at the corner of her mouth with a piece of tissue.

“Get down,” Matthew said with both his hands holding her, as he was afraid she would fall.

“Come on, Mr. Buckley…” With her arms around his neck, Janice swayed back and forth as she said in a pampered manner, “Aren’t you and that Thatcher guy good friends? You should ask him to let her go! Pretty please?”

Victoria was slightly surprised. She had heard that Christian had a friend who had become a lawyer. However, because that friend of his had been studying abroad, she never got to meet him. I see, so it’s him. Then, her eyes flickered as she thought that it might work in her favor if Matthew was willing to speak to Christian on her behalf.

As Matthew cast a skeptical glance at Victoria, he pushed up his gold-rimmed glasses that were going to fall due to Janice’s moving about. “Get down first.”
