The Clutches Of Hell Novel

Chapter 85

The cars ahead started to move, and Christian followed suit. “You’re one of the heads of the Thatcher Family. So you don’t need to ask for anyone’s opinions, including mine, for the things you want to do.”

“Then what if… I ask you to let Tori go? She’s suffered enough in the past two years. Can you let her go now?” When Evelyn found out that her son was forcing Victoria to work at Delta Club today, she experienced a wave of mixed feelings.

He didn’t respond, and she didn’t broach the matter further, so for a long while, silence filled the car.

Finally, they drove past the traffic as they reached the highway, so he increased the car’s speed.

Evelyn fidgeted the clasp of her wallet repeatedly; the clicking sounds were extremely crisp amidst the stony silence.

She turned to look at him. “I can see that you have no romantic feelings for Bella. If that’s the case, then the incident where Tori knocked into Bella’s legs, breaking them the other night, has nothing to do with you. So why did you still…”

“Mom.” Christian interrupted and said seriously. “I won’t interfere with whatever goes on between you, Dad, and Tracy, so I hope you can also respect my boundaries.”

A hint of awkwardness flashed across Evelyn’s face, but she managed to regain her composure soon. Finally, she closed her purse, held it in her hand, and made no further comments.

Their parents arrived within half an hour of Vincent’s departure from the hospital. Denise scanned the ward and found no signs of him, making her blurt out anxiously, “Where’s your brother? I heard that he came here to look for you!”

It turns out that they’re not here for me but for Vince. The hope in Victoria’s eyes dimmed. “My brother…”

Just as she was about to speak, Glen cut her off sharply, “No matter how the outsiders slander Vince, he has never talked back to me before. But since you were released from prison, he disrespected me and even threatened to leave home! Did you egg him on?”

“Me?” Victoria pointed to herself as she laughed mockingly. “I egged him on?”
