The Clutches Of Hell Novel

Chapter 121

Christian hummed, lost in his thoughts. “He did it for his sister.”

“What?” Matthew didn’t understand. “How does Vincent doing business have anything to do with Victoria?”

Christian raised his head and rested his level gaze on his friend. After a moment of silence, he growled, “How did you become a renowned lawyer? Are your clients blind or can’t think?”

“Christian, you should be grateful to have a friend like me in your life. No ordinary person can stand your temperament.” Matthew pushed his glasses up with a finger and narrowed his eyes on his friend. “Vincent wants to free Victoria from your clutches, so he’s learning to do business.”

Christian turned his head to look out of the window at Victoria, who was facing away from him as she stood at the guard rail. At that moment, he saw a woman with a thin body and distressed silhouette. It was hard to imagine she was the same arrogant daughter of the Coleman Family two years ago.

His heart began to ache inside his chest, as if the ants were biting it.

“Is it breaking your heart?” Matthew followed his gaze and watched outside. “Why don’t you take the opportunity? Since Vincent drugged you and sent Victoria to seduce you, you should just sleep with her. Then, you two can naturally engage in a relationship. Isn’t that good?”

Christian drew his gaze back as his fingers twirled the blanket. “They have set up the pinhole camera to film a video so they can blackmail me.”

“What?” Matthew gaped at the statement. The siblings might be using a dirty trick, but he had to admit that their plan was simple and effective, but risky too.

Christian’s eyes were downcast as the dusk sunlight bathed him, and half of his face was enveloped in the dark. “I’m not feeling bad for her. She deserved it.”

Matthew wasn’t prepared for such an anti-climatic answer.

“I don’t understand!” He gave up on his image and pulled his hair in desperation. “What happened to you and Victoria two years ago?”

It was torture for a lawyer with an obsession like Matthew not to know the truth of a case but only the result.
