The Clutches Of Hell Novel

Chapter 105

Even though Victoria’s head was a mess, she still noticed how different Gabrielle was behaving from her usual self. “Go ahead and say anything you want to.” Victoria sighed while massaging her eyebrows.

Just when Gabrielle opened her mouth trying to speak, she closed it again in the next second as she was not sure how to broach the topic. After hesitating for a while, she went to retrieve her phone from her own bed. She then opened her WhatsApp and passed her phone to Victoria. “It… might be better to see it for yourself.”

The screen of her phone showed the chat record of a small WhatsApp group that only had a few members in it. They were people whom Victoria knew as well—they were her colleagues from Delta Club.

‘I heard that Victoria wanted to seduce Mr. Thatcher, but ended up getting kicked out as naked as the day she was born! Don’t blame me for saying this, but I doubt Mr. Thatcher would be interested in a woman that has scars from head to toe!’

‘I actually find Victoria quite beautiful to look at. She is elegant too, but her only shortcoming is that she is a little too proud.’

‘No, she wasn’t trying to seduce Mr. Thatcher at all! There is an insider who told me that she has a grudge against him. So, she was trying to kill him this time! And I also heard that Mr. Thatcher was covered in blood by the time he was brought out by someone!’

‘She is trying to murder someone right after she was released from jail?! My goodness! It is horrifying having to work with someone like her!’

‘You are all wrong! Flynn was there when it happened, and he told me that Mr. Coleman was there too! It turns out that Victoria is Mr. Coleman’s own sister. The siblings drugged Mr. Thatcher to blackmail him so that he gave the Colemans his cash cow.’

“Take a look at this as well.” Gabrielle took the phone to search for a screenshot of the security group chat that one of the security guards had sent to her. She then passed the phone back to Victoria.

The messages in the chat were unsightly…

‘Victoria Coleman usually looks like a goody two shoes, but she sure is curvaceous when she is naked. I want a piece of that *ss! It is a pity that the higher-ups wanted the surveillance footage deleted.’

‘Since she is such a sl*t, how about we ask her out to have some fun together?’

There were hundreds of messages from several people discussing Victoria’s appearance to how they wanted to take her to bed. The words they used were vulgar and repulsive, and there were even one or two of them who thought they were smart by coming up with Plan A, B, and C on how to get into bed with her. They had also made up a few dirty jokes about her.

Lastly, the security guard who showed the chat record to Gabrielle sent her a voice message. “Gabrielle, you are very close with Victoria, aren’t you? Can you help this dear friend of yours to ask her out? I’ll make sure to compensate you for your hard work once it’s done. Or, you can come over, and we can have a three-way together. I guarantee I will make you both feel like you are in heaven!”

After listening to the voice message, Victoria only pursed her lips as she held the phone without any facial expression.

“Please give my phone back when you are done reading.” Worried that Victoria would smash her phone, Gabriella took her phone from Victoria and uttered with caution and guilt, “I’m really sorry, Victoria. I shouldn’t have suggested something so stupid in the first place.”

Victoria continued to stay silent with her head lowered. She clenched the edge of her shirt tightly until her knuckles turned white.

She then took out her phone and opened her WhatsApp, and the first thing she looked for was the group chat dedicated to Delta Club’s employees that was full of conversations discussing about her.

While some said that she wanted to seduce Christian so that she could climb up the social ladder, the others said that she hurt him out of shame and anger after failing in her quest. There were also some who said that she had a grudge against him, but she did not succeed in killing him this time…

All of them were bad mouthing her in the group, and many of them were making dirty jokes about her. Daisy, too, did not hold back on throwing dirt on Victoria’s name.

Gabrielle looked at Victoria and could not help but feel guilty. As much as she wanted to comfort Victoria, she did not know where to begin.

She wanted to find a solution. If there was only one person speaking ill of Victoria, she could still resolve the problem by beating the other party into silence. However, it was not just a person or two; it was a whole group of people, and she could not possibly stop these many people from talking badly about Victoria. Gabrielle was at the end of her wits.

Meanwhile, Victoria licked her dry lips, and sent a voice message in the group chat. “Who wants to f*ck me?”

The group chat that was rowdy up till a second ago had instantly turned silent at that. Even Daisy had stopped with her nonsense.

“Ha!” Victoria sneered.

Pressing the voice recording button, she uttered chilly and ruthless words for those who had turned a blind eye to the seriousness of the issue and simply enjoyed the drama. “I don’t care what you say in private. However, do be careful when you are around me next time. If you let me hear or see anything that I don’t want to, then don’t blame me for being cold-blooded. You can ask Daisy how cruel I can be. She knows better than the rest of you.”

Gabrielle instantly frowned when she heard that. “Victoria, your words… might end up offending more people. Are you not worried that they will say even nastier things?”

“Do you really think they will stop talking about me even if I haven’t said this?” Victoria asked while she swiftly tossed her phone onto the bed.

Gabrielle was dumbfounded when she heard that.

Victoria then turned around to face away from Gabrielle as she mentioned, “If you’re afraid of offending others, you can stay away from me.”

“I am just worried about you.” Gabrielle smiled bashfully as she sat back on her bed and looked at her phone. She noticed how the conversation in the chat had ended after Victoria’s voice message.

It was only 10 minutes later that the group chat became lively again as chains of texts flooded in, and all of them were comforting words for Victoria. There were also people who righteously criticized the ones who had made fun of her.

And among them were a few who previously participated in the gossip about Victoria just moments ago.

Gabrielle bit her lips lightly as she took a look at Victoria’s back before sending a message of her own to the group as well.

On the other hand, Christian was lying in a hospital bed with bandages wrapped around his thigh and dressed in a hospital gown. There was a smell of disinfectant permeating the air in the white ward.

The doctor wiped the sweat from his forehead and sighed. “The person who did this was too brutal. He or she almost stabbed the aorta. It would have been dangerous if it had happened.

Standing beside, Charlotte raised her eyebrows slightly and looked at Christian on the hospital bed, only to see that his expression remained the same. It was as though it was not him the doctor was talking about.

“Thank you, doctor.” She smiled prettily at the doctor and asked, “Mr. Thatcher also drunk red wine laced with that kind of drug and sleeping pills. So, is there a need to prescribe any other kind of medicine for him?”

Hearing that, the doctor was shocked as he looked at the impassive Christian. “I wouldn’t have known if you didn’t tell me! I will have someone bring the medicine over. He will be fine after taking that.”novelxo.com fast update

“Alright, sorry for the trouble.” After she sent the doctor away, she closed the door of the ward and walked to the bedside. “Mr. Thatcher, there is something I have to tell you as I can’t make up my mind.”

Christian, who was toying with the jade pendant at the moment, raised his gaze at her after hearing that. “Tell me then.”

“There are all kinds of talk about you and Victoria. And there are some security guards who have taken a screenshot of Victoria’s nude body. How do you think we should handle this?” Charlotte had a rare solemn expression on her face right now as she truly sympathized with Victoria.

He immediately froze when he heard that. He tightened his grip around the jade pendant before looking at her straight in the eyes with a gloomy face. “Was the surveillance footage not deleted?”

“It has been deleted,” she replied after recovering from the shock of him showing such a big reaction. “One of the guards said that he took a screenshot of it, and that photo has been sent almost everywhere. I have seen it too. It is a little blurry, so you can’t really identify who was in the photo.
