The Clutches Of Hell Novel

Chapter 33

Daisy was about to say something more, but when she met Victoria’s gaze, a wary look flashed across her eyes as she swallowed back her words. She simply huffed reluctantly.

Gabrielle messed up her eyeliner, so she removed it and tried again. As she did so, she asked, “Victoria, have you eaten dinner? If not, I can add more to my delivery order.”

“I’ll have a bowl of porridge, then. Thank you.” Victoria found her cabinet and looked for a clean change of work clothes.

“You asked her if she ate, but why didn’t you ask me?” Daisy supported herself with her right elbow on the bed, reclining as she shouted, “I haven’t eaten anything either. Just order something for me as well; I’m not picky!”

“No, you can order what you want yourself. I don’t have any spare money to spend on your meals.” Gabrielle applied some lipstick and pursed her lips, then wiped away an extra spot with a cotton bud.

Daisy was so enraged that her face turned red. She sat up and shouted, “Gabrielle, we’ve known each other for years, but you’d rather buy food for a murderer you met not even a month ago instead of me?”

At the mention of the word ‘murderer’, Victoria stopped changing her clothes briefly before she resumed buttoning her top.

“Since when did I buy food for Victoria? She always returns the money to me. Why don’t you return the money you owe me, then I’ll buy food for you?” Gabrielle responded.

Daisy cursed while saying, “You little wretch. Why are you acting like everyone is dying to eat the food you order?”

Victoria and Gabrielle ignored her. When their food arrived, they ate a little and went to work together.

“V-Victoria, a lady is looking for you at the entrance.” A colleague walked over and shakily relayed the message to Victoria. Before Victoria could ask who the lady was, the colleague left in a hurry, seemingly scared of a murderer like her.

Victoria placed the cleaning tools into the store room and went to the entrance. It was then that she realized the person looking for her was the female lawyer with a child-like face.

“I’m so sorry that I took so long to visit you,” Janice’s face went red as she said remorsefully.

Victoria couldn’t think of any reason Janice would see her. “Is there something you want to talk to me about?”
