The Clutches Of Hell Novel

Just then, Victoria dragged her legs. It felt like two shot puts were tied to her ankles as she followed

behind Charlotte. She suddenly asked in a soft voice, “Miss Charlotte, can I ask you a question?”

Hearing that, Charlotte stopped walking and turned around to look at her while raising her eyebrows.

“Did Mr. Thatcher mention when I’d be able to leave this place?” Victoria licked her chapped lips. Her

eyes, which were always filled with exhaustion and vicissitudes, had little sparks in them for the first

time.

“Nope.” Charlotte tucked her hair to the back of her ear. There was an alluring charm in her every

action. “I think he might not have thought about this question.”

Has he never once thought about this question? Do I need to stay here for the rest of my life to atone

for Bella?

At this thought, the spark in her eyes fizzled out. Although she was standing under a bright light, she

couldn’t see the front.

Every part of her life was just blurry. No matter how she walked it, she would end up standing at the

end of a cliff, staring right at the abyss.

“Sigh…” She took a deep breath while trembling and wiped off the tears at the corners of her eyes

before returning to her room absent-mindedly.

…

One week had passed in just the blink of an eye.

After Daisy was hospitalized, the others didn’t dare gossip about Victoria anymore after seeing how

tough she was.

However, Victoria’s workload was still as much. She was in charge of cleaning two floors on her own.

Despite having a sore waist and back every day, it was wishful thinking for her to have a day off.

As she was cleaning the hallway, a man scolded her with his face full of disgust, “You there! Can’t you

pay attention when mopping the floor? You’ve stained my shoes!”

“Sorry, should I get a new towel and wipe them for you?” Although her mop hadn’t touched his shoes at

all, she still apologized to him since explaining would only cause her more trouble. She was already

tired every single day, so she didn’t have the energy to deal with this kind of trouble.

“Forget it!” the man said unhappily. “Pay attention next time. You can’t afford to compensate me if you

dirty them. Do you understand?”

“Yes, sir. Be careful, for the floor is slippery.” With the mop in her hand, she stood aside and waited for

the man to walk away. After that, she turned around and looked at Gabrielle, who had just arrived not

long ago. “Are you looking for me?”

“Miss Charlotte is looking for you.” With a frown, Gabrielle said while walking, “Everything on that man

just now is only worth eight thousand at most. He’s not a rich man, so there’s no need for you to treat

him like that.”

Hearing that, she just smiled and didn’t say anything.

Since she didn’t mind it, Gabrielle didn’t continue talking about it either. She brought her to the CEO’s

office and left right after.

Then, Victoria knocked on the door and entered the room after getting permission.

When she saw the people inside, her face turned pale. She lowered her head and said, “Mr. Thatcher,

Miss Charlotte.”

Christian was sitting on the couch with the sunlight shining from his back, so she couldn’t see his

expression clearly. He crossed one leg over the other, and there was a lit cigarette between

hixo.com fast updates fingers. It was just like the scene where he used the club to break her leg

two years ago.

This version of him had appeared countless times in her nightmare, startling her awake. At this

moment, she didn’t even dare look at him.

“You’re quite fast.” Charlotte prepared some tea and put it on the table before asking with a smile,

“How’s Daisy? Can she be discharged yet?”

“I don’t know. I didn’t visit her.” There was sweat forming on her nose, and her fingers were trembling

uncontrollably.

Has Christian come to hold me accountable after a week? Is he going to send me to jail just like two

years ago?

At this moment, her eyelashes were quivering while her throat was turning dry. Fear was engulfing her

at this very moment. I should’ve held it back. I shouldn’t have beat Daisy up…

“I’m just asking. Why are you so nervous?” Charlotte lifted her charming eyes a little and gave Victoria

a cup of tea with a smile. “Have some tea and loosen up a little. I won’t eat you up.”

The faint smell of cigarettes wafted through the office. Throughout the entire time, Christian said

nothing and did not move an inch. Yet, every inch of the room was filled with his aura, making Victoria

extremely tense.

She took the tea cup in both of her hands. Before she could thank Charlotte, Christian looked at her all

of a sudden.

Clang! The tea cup fell to the ground and broke into pieces.

“I’m sorry…” With an extremely pale face, she squatted down to pick up the broken pieces on the

ground. Just then, she accidentally cut her hand with a broken piece and blood started flowing out.

It was as though she couldn’t feel the pain at all as she continued to pick up the broken pieces on the

ground.

“You can’t even hold a cup on your own? Do you think that you’re still the young lady of the Coleman

Family, huh?” Christian stood up and walked up to her, landing his gaze on her bleeding hand with

coldness hidden in his eyes.

Although it was her hand that was injured, she felt that her heart was the one bleeding. She lowered

her head and said, “I’m sorry.”

This apologetic look of hers made him feel a little annoyed. As such, Christian frowned and ordered

Charlotte, “Treat her wound. I don’t want others to think that I’m abusing my employees.
