The Clutches Of Hell Novel

Chapter 115

Looking at Glen’s back, Victoria casually mentioned, “You have to be more ruthless. If you really manage to make me leave Delta Club, I will definitely rent an advertising space citywide to thank you.”

“Tori, you…” Denise looked at her worriedly, but before she finished speaking, she left when her husband constantly urged her to.

Victoria pressed her lips together and walked over to close the door. After that, she went to sit on the bed again, this time with her head lowered as she seemed to be deep in thought.

On the other hand, Gabrielle took a deep breath and sat on a chair, where she quietly watched Victoria. After a long minute, Victoria lifted her head to look at Gabrielle. “Thank you for standing up for me earlier,” she sighed.

“My parents used to criticize me without bothering to find out the truth back at home. I used to hope for someone to speak up for me then.” Gabriella’s eyes were slightly red as she wiped their corners. “Alright now.” She waved dismissively at Victoria. “Let’s stop talking about them. They are such a bummer.”

Buzz! Buzz!

Gabrielle’s phone began to vibrate after she said that. As soon as she picked up the call, she spitefully hissed, “Didn’t you say that you are never going to call me again? Why—”

Her words could no longer be heard after she went into the bathroom and closed the door behind her.

Victoria’s heart was nothing but a jumble of mess. All she could feel was exhaustion she had never felt before as she lay in bed. With both hands on her lower abdomen, she slowly closed her eyes. Can I

just fall asleep and never wake up? I can’t stand this amount of stupidity anymore.

But, of course, that was impossible. So when the next day came, she still had to put on the revamped uniform similar to a cleaner’s uniform and go to work.

While she was on the way to work, she came across a colleague that she had only met a handful of times. “Good… afternoon, Victoria.” The woman smilingly greeted her, but her voice was shaky all the way.

Amused, Victoria nodded in reply.

She didn’t understand why the woman wanted to greet her despite being so afraid of her.

She continued to meet a number of colleagues that she both knew and didn’t know throughout the way, but one thing stayed consistent—they all greeted her in a surprisingly friendly way.

Victoria only nodded at them dismissively, and it was only after she took a few steps away from them that she heard them chattering.

“Fiona and the rest of them apologized to Victoria last night, and they were all fired after she refused to forgive them! Including the one who edited the photo, 60 employees were fired!”

“It is fine if they were just fired. I heard that right after the security guard who edited the photo was fired, the police came and took him away. It looked like he would be sentenced. His life is technically over!”

“Tsk, I wonder just what kind of bigshot she bootlicked…”

“But we are all colleagues! Don’t you think Victoria went overboard?! If she thinks it is embarrassing for people to talk about how she went and seduced Mr. Thatcher, only to be thrown out naked, she shouldn’t even have done it in the first place! It is disgusting how she tries to act innocent and sl*tty at the same time!”

Victoria didn’t know if they purposely said those words in a way that she could hear them despite not being too loud.

Standing with the light behind her back, she let out a smile filled with mockery before she turned around and said to their backs, “Stop right there.”

She didn’t know why Christian fired those other employees, but she wouldn’t be so innocent as to believe that he did it for her.

Hearing her voice, the trio stopped in their tracks and turned around to look at her.

One of them then asked her in a sarcastic voice, “Is something the matter?”

“I am the person you were talking about, yes?” After recognizing her voice, Victoria stalked toward her.

As the figure of her getting closer and closer was reflected in that woman’s pupils, the woman’s languid stance started to straighten up as her back became straight. “I don’t know what you are talking about —”

Slap!

Victoria slapped her face, stopping her from finishing her words.

“What right do you have to hit me?!” The woman covered her attacked cheek and glared at Victoria. “You do want to have the best of both worlds! What is the matter? Brave enough to do sh*t, but you can’t admit it?”

Right then, her two companions hurried to hold her back as they gave her a speaking look.

“Don’t touch me!” The woman’s anger also rose after she was slapped. “I have to give this shameless b*tch a piece of my mind today. She didn’t even think about where she stood before she went and

seduced Mr. Thatcher. She deserved to get thrown out! Ouch!”

Victoria had slapped the woman’s other cheek. “It looks better symmetrical,” she stated. “Also, it is not that I don’t have the guts to admit it. It is just…”

She pinched the woman’s chin and said with a snort, “I don’t want to hear your verbal diarrhea in front of me. It stinks!”

The woman tried to pry Victoria’s hand away, but when she couldn’t, she got so angry she wanted to curse. “You—”

“Think before you speak.” Victoria looked at her indifferently while raising her other hand.

The woman shrank her neck subconsciously and covered her face with both hands as she swallowed all the words that had reached her throat. Her two companions, on the other hand, stood timidly aside for fear that Victoria would hurt them..

She looked at Victoria’s ruthless eyes, then glanced at the scar at the end of her eyebrow. After thinking about the fate of those colleagues who were fired, she frowned and muttered unwillingly, “I am sorry. I shouldn’t have said that about you.”

“I won’t be as gentle if I hear you saying things that I don’t want to hear,” Victoria warned in a low voice while releasing the woman’s chin.

Now that the woman was free, she rubbed her throbbing cheeks and pitifully hummed in reply. She didn’t even care about her friends as she directly left the place.

“It is almost working hours. We will be going now. Goodbye!” Her two female companions blabbered to Victoria before they ran away at the speed of light.novelxo.com fast update

Victoria pursed her lips and started heading off to work as well, but a round of applause could be heard just then.

“That! Was! Amazing!” Janice popped out from the corner of the stairwell and looked at her with bright eyes. “Wow, Victoria! You were so cool just now! I would want to marry you if you were a man!” Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g

“When Victoria didn’t say anything in return, Janice somehow didn’t feel embarrassed at all as she smacked her lips. “Why would they come to pick a bone with you if they can’t afford to do that?” she mused while pointing to her head, blinking continuously. “Do you think they have a problem up here?”

“Probably.” Victoria smiled at the lady

The sight of her soft smile put Janice in a daze before she murmured, “Wow! You look so pretty when you smile!”

Upon hearing that, Victoria quickly wiped the smile off her face and bowed. She then sincerely gave her gratitude, saying, “Thank you for helping me, Miss Mooney.”

Janice had already helped her many times for someone she had only met a few times.

“Geez, you are putting me on the spot here.” Janice scratched her head while a distressed look appeared on her baby face. “It is not like I helped you achieve anything…”

Victoria stood up straight then. Eyes lowered, she said, “It is one thing to extend your help. It is another thing whether or not you managed to help. Since you have helped me, you definitely deserve thanks.”

Unlike her parents and her ‘friends’ who had abandoned her without even trying to help her, Janice was like a Godsent angel.

“I-I don’t know what to say when you thank me like that.” Janice bashfully giggled. “I heard that you were kicked out of the room butt-naked by the Ice Man, and so I skipped work because I was worried

you would be upset. But seeing you level-headedly fix those foul-mouthed women has put me at ease.”

Victoria’s pupils dilated when she heard those last few words. She grabbed onto the hem of her clothes, but she couldn’t laugh despite how much she wanted to.

She lowered her head to hide the darkness in her eyes before uttering softly, “I am fine. Thank you for your concern, Miss Mooney.”
