The Clutches Of Hell Novel

Chapter 67

Vincent ran up to Victoria and wanted to examine the wound on her leg, but he didn't know where to start. His eyes slowly became tinged with blood. Glaring at Glen, he said, stressing each word, "I think you must be f*cking crazy!"

"How dare you... Cough! Cough!" Glen breathed rapidly as though he'd have difficulty breathing the next second.

"Glen, are you alright?" Denise stood up with the pills with her hand. Her eyes reddened, she patted his back to help him catch his breath with an imploring look on her face. 'Tori, please leave first."

Before Victoria could answer, Vincent yelled, "This is the police station. It's not our place, so what gives you the right to tell Tori to leave? I think all of you are-"

"Vincent, don't speak to... Mrs. Coleman like this." Victoria blinked back the tears that sprang to her eyes. She said with a slight choke in her voice, "I'm going back to the hospital first."

Vincent darted a look at her leg. He said with a frown, "I'll send you there.""

"I'll go back by taxi," Victoria refused while shaking her head. Then, she limped outside as Denise watched with hesitation.

Vincent picked his feet up and wanted to go after her, but Teresa grabbed him. "Stay here if you don't want Dad and Mom to scold Tori."

Vincent gave Glen and Denise a mocking look. "I've f*cking listened to them and distanced myself from Tori. Did they stop calling her names after that?" Then, he broke free of Teresa's grasp and ran out after Victoria.

Teresa wanted to run after him, but she stepped back after glancing at Glen, whose face flushed angrily, and Denise, whose eyes reddened.

"Tori!" Vincent caught up with Victoria and grabbed her. "Let me send you back to the hospital."

Victoria wiped the tears off the corner of her eye. Putting her hand over her swollen cheek in embarrassment, she tried hard to manage a smile. "It's not necessary. You go back first. It's very convenient to hail a taxi here.'Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

Vincent's heart ached terribly as he looked at her tears and her red and swollen cheek. "I've spent more than two hours at the police station. If I keep on staying there, I'll definitely go crazy!" Immediately, he scooped her up in his arms and put her in his car regardless of the consequences.

Sitting in the car, Victoria merely looked out the window with her hand over her swollen cheek without saying another word. My heart has gone numb from pain long ago. Why does it still ache so much when Dad and Mom do these things that it makes me feel suffocated?

Suddenly, Vincent spoke. "Tori, let me get you out of here to a place where Christian can't find you.'

Victoria shook her head before turning to look at him. "If you leave with me, what about our dad and mom?"

'Now that they're already treating you like this, why do you still care about them?' Vincent's words were filled with anger. 'They can do whatever they want. Christian can't kill them in this law-governed society, anyway!"

His words were met with silence.

'Let me book the flight tickets. We're going to the airport right away!" Vincent said while pulling over to the side of the road. Then, he took out his cell phone and started to check the latest flight schedule.

"Dad and Mom have never done you a disservice." Victoria snatched his phone before lowering her eyes to conceal the look in them. "And besides, if you're gone, what about Teresa and your two children?"

Vincent was trying to snatch his phone back at first. However, after hearing the last sentence, he withdrew his outstretched hand with a conflicted look in his eyes.

Victoria moved her hair while trying her best to conceal her swollen cheek. "As you said, the current society is governed by law, so Christian can't kill anyone. I won't die, so you don't have to be so radical."

Vincent glanced at her leg. Then, he lowered his voice and bellowed, "He can't kill you, but he broke your leg and sent you to jail... Everything he did makes your life a living hell!" He choked up toward the end of his speech.

Victoria's eyes were sore as she turned to look out the car window. "How could you have such a bad memory? I just told you and Teresa a while ago that I had a way to leave him."

Feeling extremely agitated, Vincent pounded his fist on the steering wheel as the rearview mirror reflected the ferocious look on his good-looking face. 'Do you really have a way, or are you fooling me because you think I'm gullible?"

Victoria licked her dry lips; the taste of blood in her mouth had yet to fade away. "I really have a way."

"Then tell me what is the way?" Vincent turned her head to force her to look at him. "Don't tell me that it has to be kept a secret. I don't believe that!"

Victoria fell silent for a long time. Then, she finally replied, "I'll seduce him.""

"What?!" Vincent almost growled.

The taste of blood in Victoria's mouth turned her stomach. After gulping a mouthful of saliva that was mixed with blood, she explained, "Christian loves Bella, but he didn't reject my advances. I guess he's got feelings for me." She was unsure of that, but she had no other alternative. 'At the end of the day, he's just a man, so he's probably as adulterous as other men are. If I succeed in seducing him, I won't have to be afraid of being retaliated against by him anymore."

Vincent's face went through a myriad of expressions. After a while, he said, "I object to this!"

'Do you have another solution, then?" Victoria asked.

Vincent was lost for words.

"I don't want to live my whole life as the object of Christian's revenge," Victoria said. Then, she mumbled, "That's too painful..." Christian always had a way of humiliating and tormenting her, whereas Bella always had a way of plotting against her in a disgusting manner. It was too painful to live in their shadows.

Vincent persuaded, "Tori... just hold on a moment longer. Once I become more powerful than Christian some time later, you'll no longer have to be threatened by him!" Having hung out at places of entertainment for years, he had seen many women who sold themselves for all sorts of reasons. However, never did he think that such a thing would happen to his own sister one

day.

Victoria let out a wry laugh. "Vincent, do you believe these words yourself?"

'Didn't you say that to advise me before?' Vincent had anxiety written all over his face. "Tori, I'll definitely work hard for that. Trust me!"

Victoria shook her head. "I believe that you'll work hard for it, but such a day is too far away. Vincent... I feel like I can't hold on anymore."

Vincent stared steadily ahead while clenching his fists. Soon, the steering wheel was wet with tears.

'I'm already 20 years old, so it's not a big deal for me to sleep with men, right?" Victoria managed a smile, causing the slap mark on her cheek to wrinkle up. "Jessica, Ellie, and others have slept with a few men already, while I'm still a virgin."

Vincent's body tensed up all over. His good-looking face was pale, but his eyes were red, which made him appear ferocious.

Victoria held his arm and smiled like a spoiled child. 'Just think of it as fulfilling my wish. I've always wanted to sleep with Christian, after all."

Falling into a trance, Vincent felt as though he was seeing his lovely and headstrong sister again. Stunned, he felt as if a pair of invisible large hands were clutching his heart; he even started to have difficulty breathing.

After sending Victoria to the hospital, he wanted to stay a while longer at first. However, those at the police station ordered him to go back within 40 minutes, or he'd be treated as a runaway criminal. "I'm going back first. Just give me a call if anything happens.' His face was livid. 'I'll come to the hospital to visit you once I'm released from the police station." Without giving her the opportunity to say no, he ran out of the ward and closed the door with the car key in his hand. Pressing his back against the wall, he shot a glance at the door before taking a deep breath. Then, he wiped the tear off the corner of his eye and strode off.
