The Clutches Of Hell Novel

Chapter 106

The atmosphere in the ward became heavier as the silence continued.

Christian placed the jade pendant back on his neck again before instructing with a sullen face, “Bring that guard here within 20 minutes.”

Charlotte hummed a reply upon hearing that. She then made a call to an underling and passed on the instruction before she hung up the phone and stood aside.

Delta Club was not that far away from the hospital. So, just within 15 minutes, the security guard had already arrived at the hospital. He rushed to the ward while sweating profusely and greeted people along his way nervously.

“Do you know why you were asked to come here?” Christian sat on the bed with his eyes fixated on the security guard.

The guard was covered in a layer of cold sweat upon seeing the hard stare. Gulping, he stammered, “I-I don’t know.”

“Someone has been spreading Victoria’s nude photos around. Was it you?” Christian stood up, and with his fiery eyes, he looked down at the bodyguard who was half a head shorter than him.

No matter how oblivious the guard might be, he could definitely tell that Christian, who was rumored to be on bad terms with Victoria, was on Victoria’s side.

Christian’s question gave the guard goosebumps as his limbs went soft. Then, he quickly blurted out, “No, no! The few of us were called by our supervisor when Victoria was thrown out of your room naked, Mr Thatcher. So, we weren’t in the surveillance room at that time. And by the time we went back, Miss Charlotte had already deleted the footage. I didn’t even have the time to take a screenshot!”

Without waiting for Christian’s reply, Charlotte stepped forward with her eyebrows raised. “Then, Victoria’s nude photo—”

“That is not Victoria!” Afraid that Christian would tear him down, the guard had interrupted her mid-sentence.

Christian tugged on his collar and frowned when he heard that. “Hmm?”

“T-That is a nude picture I downloaded from the internet and edited into the surveillance footage.” The security guard shivered and lowered his head in fear. “Everyone has been talking about the thing between Victoria and… Also, a lot of people have been asking me for the video at that time. That was why I… I made one.”
