The Clutches Of Hell Novel

Chapter 124

Victoria was used to such looks shot at her and she knew that she would never be able to overcome Bella’s scheming methods. Suddenly, Victoria spat out the chicken bone and replied, “No.”

Janice was stunned to hear that. “Huh?”

“He’s not standing up for me. He’s just doing that to stand up for himself,” Victoria responded.

Christian lowered his head and shot a look at Victoria. He could only see the top of her head and he frowned slightly as he retracted his gaze.

“Scarlett, you should apologize to Christian. He’ll forgive you; he’s not an unreasonable person,” Bella advised Scarlett in a low voice.

Subsequently, Bella turned to look at him. “Christian, Scarlett was angered by my brother’s action and that’s why she spoke so rudely. Could you forgive her for my sake? I’ll make sure she apologizes to you. Perhaps you could let things slide this time? How does that sound?”

“Well, that is acceptable to me,” Christian replied.

Bella heaved a sigh of relief and signaled to Scarlett.

Scarlett was just about to apologize to Christian when he suddenly spoke up in advance, “You don’t have to apologize to me, but you should apologize to her. If she forgives you, then I won’t pursue this matter any further.”

He pointed at Victoria.

As soon as Scarlett saw that, her expression changed instantly and she revealed an unpleasant look.

Victoria froze slightly as she lifted her head to look at Christian. At times, she was not too sure what was going on in his mind; one good example would be right now.

In the past, he had caused Victoria’s broken limb because of Bella, so Victoria had assumed that he was deeply infatuated with Janice. However, ever since Veronica got out of prison, the things that she saw and heard seemed to prove otherwise.
