The Clutches Of Hell Novel

Chapter 112

One possibility after another, a myriad of thoughts filled Christian’s mind. Then, he interrupted irritably, questioning, “Are there any other reasons why you’re calling?”

His question caught Evelyn off guard, and only after a while did she reply, “Because Bella was injured because of you, seeing that she’s about your age and she’s a decent girl, your grandfather said that in order to prevent the Thatcher Family reputation from being ruined, you should get engaged to her.”

“I’ll handle this myself. Tell Grandfather not to worry.” After saying that, he hung up with a gloomy face.

Victoria also saw the message that Gabrielle sent. She sneered and threw her phone aside, ignoring the new number that Charlotte had added to the WhatsApp group.

There were thousands of employees in Delta Club, and people came and went. It wasn’t a surprise that a new person was added in. Victoria drew the curtains and took off her white shirt and dress before changing into her own clothes.

Then, as Gabrielle stared at her, she naturally noticed the dense hickeys on her body. “Victoria, y-your body… Did you succeed?”

“Are you asking if I succeeded in seducing him or if I succeeded in leaving the club?” Victoria walked to the window and opened the curtains. At the moment the sun shone in, she felt her body warm up, but her heart was still cold.

When Gabrielle noticed that Victoria wasn’t in a good mood, Gabrielle knew that she shouldn’t pry any further. However, she couldn’t contain her curiosity. “Aren’t they the same thing?”

“It doesn’t matter if I succeeded in seducing him or not. As long as I manage to get photos or videos of us getting intimate to blackmail him, I can leave this place.” Victoria had no idea why she was sharing this with someone with ulterior motives. Maybe it was because she was lonely.

Hearing this, Gabrielle leaned closer to Victoria as her voice softened. “Did you manage to get any pictures or videos?”

Victoria turned around, glanced at her, and said nothing.

She stood facing the light source, so her expression couldn’t be seen clearly. However, Gabrielle could feel the depressing aura exuding from Victoria. “Maybe there’s another way. Don’t beat yourself up over this.”

Victoria slowly approached her with her head down. When she reached Gabrielle’s side, she spoke in a hoarse voice, suggesting, “You’re tight. Maybe in another ten to twenty years’ time, Mr. Thatcher and Miss Spritz would forget about those stupid things.”

Gabrielle couldn’t tell if Victoria really thought this way or if she was just saying it on purpose. With an embarrassed smile on Gabrielle’s face, she replied with a hint of guilt and flattery, “Let’s crack our heads together. Maybe we can come up with something better.”

“Maybe,” Victoria responded perfunctorily as she sat on the bed in a daze.

Before this, she was hopeful that she could get some intimate pictures or videos to blackmail Christian. But now that the plan had failed, the light at the end of the tunnel seemed to have disappeared.

Do I have to stay in Delta Club like this, day after day, living in the shadow of Christian and Bella? Hell no.

However, the reality was hard because she had no way to leave. Ironically, she couldn’t even take her own life.

If she died, Christian would hold the Colemans accountable. Although she could ignore her parents, her brother and her sister-in-law had helped her openly and in secret. She didn’t want to hurt them.

Beep…

Beep…

Victoria and Gabrielle’s phones vibrated, one after the other. Victoria remained in a daze, motionless, while Gabrielle picked up her phone and glanced at it.

“Victoria!” After she saw the news in the group, her eyes lit up. She trotted over to Victoria’s bed and sat beside her. “Xavier said that the screenshots of your nudes were all edited by him. Those people in the security room happened to be out that time, and no one saw your surveillance footage. He even apologized to you in the group.”

Hearing this, Victoria let out a casual hum without even glancing at the phone.

Then, another series of vibrating sounds were heard.

Gabrielle could sense her mood, but she couldn’t hide her surprise as she cautiously said, “Victoria, the people who said vicious things about you are all mentioning you in the chat! They’re all apologizing to you!”

However, Victoria lowered her head and said nothing. She didn’t care if anyone apologized to her. All she could think about was what she could do in the future.

Seeing her like this, Gabrielle stopped talking, stood up, and sat on a chair before continuing to swipe her phone and read the news in the group.

Many people there mentioned Victoria. Those that couldn’t reach her personally would message Gabrielle, asking her to apologize to Victoria on their behalf.

‘Gabrielle, I remember you share the same dorm with Victoria? Is she with you now?’ A gif of someone on the verge of tears was sent in between the text. ‘Please apologize to her for me. I had no other intentions with whatever I said. I’m just sharp-tongued. Those are just stupid things that I’ve said.’

‘Gabrielle, my girl and I have always been nice to you, haven’t we? Put in a good word for us in front of Victoria. We were just caught out in other people’s words and joined in the crowd, saying some perfunctory things. How would we know if what they were saying was true or false!’novelxo.com fast update

‘I texted Victoria, but she didn’t reply. I wanted to give her a call, but I don’t have her number. So, I came to you instead. Gabrielle, can you ask Victoria to forgive me for the jokes I’ve made? After this, I would trust you with everything.’

Previously, these people had said that Victoria had gone too far. Yet, now, they were in a hurry to apologize. The words that were said seemed to be sincere and not just for show.

Some of them had no relations with Gabrielle and were afraid that she wouldn’t help them. So, they sent her hundreds of thousands to ask for her help.

Gabrielle glanced at Victoria with an empty gaze, feeling more and more guilty. Then, Gabrielle put away her phone, walked to Victoria, crouched down, and looked up at her. “Victoria?”

“What’s the matter?” Victoria looked back at her blankly. She was like an oil lamp that was running out of oil, weak and exhausted, with only a little bit of life left.

Seeing this, Gabrielle spoke in a lighter tone as she clicked on her phone with a guilty conscience. “Those who made fun of you before this are suddenly apologizing to you. Since they can’t reach you and think that I’m closer to you, they came to me instead.”

She licked her lips before continuing, “Some even gave me money. I-I accepted them. You decide if you want to forgive them or not. If you do, I’ll send the money to you. If you don’t, I’ll return their money to them.”

Victoria shifted her body and sat upright before letting out a sarcastic laugh. “I don’t think I want their money.” Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

This meant that she rejected them.

“I know that you used to be the daughter of the Coleman Family, so naturally, this money is nothing to you.” Gabrielle tried to coax her. “But, with your minimal salary now, taking their money will allow you to live comfortably.”

This made Victoria smile, but this time, it wasn’t out of sarcasm, nor was it out of joy. “So what if I have money? I’m still someone that works seven days a week. I eat and live in the Delta Club. I am forced to wear a uniform during work hours. Where can I spend my money?”

“You can buy yourself your favorite bag, change your phone—” This was the first time that Gabrielle met someone who did not want money. There were too many things she wanted to spend on, and she felt that the money she earned wasn’t enough
