The Clutches Of Hell Novel

Chapter 109

Bella looked at Christian almost greedily with a hint of adoration in her eyes. She then said in a soft voice, “I don’t know what is going through Victoria’s head, but I can tell you that this is not the first time I have seen them together. And, like I said before, I have no need to slander my own good friend and brother.”

“Ha!” Christian sneered. He could feel the irritation spread to his limbs and bones, and now every cell in his body was piqued. It felt so upsetting like he was being tormented physically. “Why should I believe your one-sided words?”

She sighed again and scoffed bitterly. “Christian, even if I made up what I said, how are you going to explain what you saw earlier? Am I some kind of a witch who can control Victoria to manipulate my brother?”

Even though it was almost October, a month when the temperature was not high, the sweat that came pouring down from his forehead never ceased.

He undid the cufflinks and rolled up his sleeves, showing his attractive forearm with some veins bulging out of it.

Bella had never seen him showing his emotions outright before, so she could not help but feel her heart shatter upon seeing him lose his composure because of Victoria. “I wasn’t going to tell you this, but you are getting engaged to Victoria tomorrow. I only decided to tell you the truth after I pondered over it.”

She let out a heavy sigh, and with a resigned look on her face, she said, “I honestly don’t want to see you being deceived, and neither do I want to hear anyone say my best friend is rampant, or my brother is the third party in your relationship. Telling you the truth is hard for me too.”

“Don’t tell anyone about this!” Christian’s handsome face was taut as he barked. Slightly dazed, he then stumbled into his car and promptly drove away.

Bella watched the car slowly disappear from sight with a bitter expression on her face.

He had insisted that he did not like Victoria and only married to a member of the Coleman Family for his self-interest. However, his reactions today had already shown that he was gravitating toward Victoria without realizing it…

A few hours passed by. Others might think that the time slipped by quickly, but at the moment, the few hours felt long and it was a downright tormenting experience for Christian.

After he left the villa, he rushed to the company. However, when the financial manager was giving him an overview of the monthly report, he could not seem to listen to a single word. The secretary also brought him the documents that needed to be signed. However, he had signed in the wrong place in two or three of the documents, and one in which he accidentally signed Victoria’s name.

Realizing that he could not get much work done in his current state, he decided to leave the company again. Before he got into his car, he threw the rings he bought this afternoon into the trash bin, then drove out of the company.
