The Clutches Of Hell Novel

Chapter 119

Christian’s gaze rested on her without a word, the emotions in his eyes undistinguishable.

Victoria didn’t hang her head low like she usually did. Instead, she held onto his gaze this time. Her expression was neither humble nor haughty, but it had a hint of challenge and smugness.

For a moment, he thought he was watching her from two years ago. Swallowing hard, he landed his gaze on the red spot on her neck. “Did Lucas come to you?”

His words came out as a question, but his tone was affirmative with a hint of jealousy he didn’t even notice.

A distressed look emerged on her face as she mocked, “Thanks to you, the people in your social circle have known me as a promiscuous woman. Even Mr. Spritz is planning to keep me as his mistress.”

“His mistress?” Christian’s finger was tapping on the bedside at an increasing speed. Ignoring the frustration building in the bottom of his heart, he stated coldly, “I bet you’ll willingly throw yourself at him even if he doesn’t pay you.”

Victoria’s eyes bored into the man before she chuckled to herself and turned her gaze away. “His identity isn’t important. As long as he can free me from the Delta Club, I’ll do whatever I can to throw myself at him.”

Victoria bent and leaned over to his face, her voice lower and her smile restrained. “Mr. Thatcher, do you like my answer?”

The tapping of Christian’s finger on the bed stopped for a beat as he clenched his hand into a fist. He got closer to her and held her chin in a firm grip. “Lucas isn’t able to do that. You’re wasting your efforts on him.”

Victoria then pushed his fingers away before straightening up and taking a few steps backward, distancing herself from him.

“You should remember that you’re the culprit of breaking his sister’s legs, and he’s engaged to Scarlett recently. You shouldn’t dream that he’ll care about you. Even if he’s thinking about freeing you from the Delta Club, as long as his mother, sister, or his fiancée voice their disapproval, he’ll change his mind. The guilt he’s holding toward Bella, the so-called justice he insists on, and the reputation of his family will become his reasons to abandon you without a second thought. At that time, you’ll lose more than you gained.” Christian maintained his usual expression but had unclenched his fist. His slender finger was now tapping on the table, indicating he was in an extremely bad mood.
