The Clutches Of Hell Novel

Chapter 116

“Are you upset?” Janice was a little naïve, but her woman’s sixth sense told her that Victoria was not in a good mood now.

Gulping, Janice blurted out, “Did I say something that made you upset? I… I only said what came to mind. I don’t have any other intentions. Please don’t think too much.”

“I am not upset.” Even though Victoria tried hard to force a smile, her eyes still remained dark. “You are too naïve, Miss Mooney. You had better ask Mr. Buckley beforehand when you make friends and help others in the future. Don’t get used by others. That will cause trouble for you, Miss Rita or even Mr. Buckley.”

Janice frowned and pouted at that. “But I think you are a good person!”

“Good person?” Victoria chuckled for some reason, but her laughter was filled with mockery.

No one had ever described her as a ‘good person’ because it sounded more like Bella’s exclusive label.

However, Janice forcefully bobbed her head up and down. “My woman’s sixth sense tells me so!”

Silence ensued after that.

As it was almost time for work, there would occasionally be other employees who walked past them. However, any sort of chattering or commotion would automatically fall silent when they walked past the two women. Those people would even intentionally soften their footsteps and breathing.

After a long while, Victoria reminded Janice, who was bewildered and anxious, “I am not as vulnerable as you may think. You don’t have to come see me in the future. I have to go to work. I am off.”

Back when she was hospitalized, Matthew had warned her that someone with ‘ulterior motives’ like her should stay away from Janice.

“Victoria? Victoria!” Janice jumped and called out twice, but the person in front of her didn’t stop.

With a frown on her youthful face, she couldn’t understand just what she did that could have offended Victoria.

Out of nowhere, she lightly slapped her head as she seemed to have thought of something. She then took her phone out to dial a number.

“Mr. Buckley!” With a hand on her waist, Janice roared as soon as the call got through. “Did you say something to Victoria behind my back? Stop changing the topic! I asked you if you did?!”

…

Daisy went to nearly 50 salons with that horrendous hair on her head, but all the hairstylists told her that she needed to have at least 10 centimeters of natural hair to put in hair extensions.

However, her hair was mostly only one or two centimeters, and there were even parts that weren’t even one centimeter long. The hairstylists couldn’t fix it for her with their skills.

No one wanted to take the job no matter how much money she was offering!

The more Daisy thought about it, the more unwilling she was to accept how things had turned out. She had finally heard the news that Victoria was kicked out by Christian, and Daisy was planning to take the chance to thoroughly embarrass Victoria. Alas, not only did she fail, she was almost fired from the club.

“Mr. Sharp, are you willing to just watch me get bullied by Victoria?” Daisy was sitting on the lap of the new director, Zayn Sharp, in his office.

Zayn looked straight at her. “Of course I don’t have the heart to see my little darling suffer like this, but you know that Victoria… is someone we can’t afford to offend!”

After saying that, he gulped and leaned in for a kiss.

Daisy pouted and pushed him away, her eyes full of hatred. “You think too much! Why would Mr. Thatcher kick that woman out if he was interested in her? Dear, don’t forget what you promised me!”

“Of course I won’t!”

Hearing this, Daisy pushed him away and glared at him as she raised her voice, “Mister, don’t you even think about touching me today if you don’t promise me!”

“Don’t be mad, baby. There is no need for you to lose your temper!” Zayn loved feisty women like this. Patting his thigh, he calmly coaxed her, “Come take a seat. We can take our time to talk about it.”

She only stared at him unmovingly. “Just tell me whether you will do it or not. If you don’t, I will go to Old Mr. Ford instead! Since he pampers me so much, he will definitely say yes without hesitating for such trivial matters. He is not a coward like you!”

“Oh, don’t bring up Old Mr. Ford every time. No matter how much he pampers you, there is no way he can deal with Victoria easier than I can when I am her supervisor.” Instead of getting angry that Daisy called him a coward, Zayn was entertained, as he thought that Daisy was more interesting than his obedient wife at home.

Daisy realized that his words made sense after he said that. She then sat on his lap with a sour face on. “What are we going to do now, then? That woman has embarrassed me in public so many times, and she even cut my… Anyway! I can’t take this lying down! I am not a Torres if I don’t pay her back tenfold!”

Zayn was about to say that Daisy could take his last name instead when his phone rang. It was a message Charlotte had sent to both the Delta Club’s management team group chat and employee group chat on WhatsApp.

The message went, ‘Wayne Donoghue, Skyler Moss, Fiona Fall… 50 of our employees have made groundless accusations and spread false rumors about Victoria Coleman and Mr. Thatcher in the club, which is a serious violation of the basic principles of the Delta Club, and has constituted a crime of libel. For the sake of everyone being the employees of the club, Mr. Thatcher said that he will not sue the 50 employees. However, keeping such employees in the club is equivalent to having a rotten egg in a basket, as it will seriously affect the club’s morale. After a discussion I had with Mr. Thatcher, we have decided to terminate the 50 aforementioned employees and never reemploy them. We hope this incident serves as a deterrent for the rest of you.’

Daisy also took a peek when Zayn read the message.

When she saw how his eyebrows were pulled together, she inwardly cursed him out for being useless before she threw her arms around his neck and cooed, “Baby, those employees are getting fired because they made Mr. Thatcher angry by speaking nonsense about him. This has nothing to do with Victoria.”

She then rubbed against Zayn. “Do you think Mr. Thatcher would have thrown Victoria out if he liked her? Besides, don’t forget that Victoria only ever cleaned toilets before this. Mr. Thatcher couldn’t possibly let his woman do this kind of work.”novelxo.com fast update Owned by NôvelDrama.Org.

“T-Take it easy.” He narrowed his eyes. “Let me think o-of a way to handle Victoria.”

Seeing that he still hadn’t conceded, Daisy retracted her hand and rolled her eyes as she turned livid. “Don’t you dare say that I am making things hard for you! There will be a rooftop party tomorrow. It is fine if you get her to handle the cleaning there, right?!”

As a careful man, Zayn didn’t want to take action before he made sure the relationship between Victoria and Christian. Hence, he hesitated. “I—”

“Stop being wishy washy! It is either a yes or a no!” Daisy had turned red from having to deal with a loser like him. “If it is a no, I will get out of here right this instant!”

Zayn lowered his head to look at himself, and after pondering over it, he gritted out, “Okay. There is no way I can say no to my baby darling’s request.”
