The Clutches Of Hell Novel

Chapter 110

“She’s trying to take me down because she thinks Christian likes me. I’ve always been a good friend to her. I don’t know why she’s doing this,” cried Bella. Pearly tears flowed down her cheeks, stirring pity in everyone’s hearts.

Christian sat back in his chair. As he looked up at Bella, he tightly grasped his knees as he quickly lowered his head again and averted his gaze from her.

Nancy was so angry that she almost passed out. “T-This Victoria. I treated her like she was my own daughter, yet she dared to do such a heartless thing! I’ll sue her. I’ll make sure she rots in jail!”

“Mom…” Bella tugged her mother’s arm, shaking her head repeatedly. “No, she’s my good friend. I—”

Kevin stared at his daughter silently, deep in his own thoughts.

Nancy shook her head and interrupted her daughter, “You almost died! Do you realize that? Your leg is broken, and you might never be able to dance again! Why are you still standing up for that murderer?” Hatred surged in her heart like bile.

Hearing this, Bella was stunned.

Staring down at her right leg, she tried to move it. After discovering that she couldn’t even twitch her leg, her mouth was agape as the tears began to stream down her cheeks.

Lucas’ eyes brimmed with pain. Frowning, he said, “Could there be some misunderstanding? Tori loves to fool around, but—”

Slap!

Nancy slapped him hard across the face. Jabbing a trembling finger at him, she shouted, “You’ve always been shameless! Everyone knows you have a thing for that murderer, but she almost ran your sister over! Why are you still speaking for her?”

Her breathing started to get heavier and her voice was hoarse from all the shouting. “What are you trying to say? That your sister almost killed herself to frame that murderer?!”
