The Clutches Of Hell Novel

Chapter 39
“Why don’t we set up a time to meet up... Mr. Diaz, something’s come up. I’ll talk to you next time.” Cameron accidentally
glanced at Christian, who was standing at the door and was so shocked that his heart nearly stopped. As such, he quickly hung
up the phone.
He swallowed his saliva and said carefully, “Mr. Thatcher.”
Christian nodded. “Did I scare you by suddenly coming in?”
“No, no!” With his heart pounding very quickly, Cameron said while smiling sheepishly, “I just didn’t think that you’d be looking for
me. I’m... I’m surprised. Yes, surprised!”
“You look like you’re in a good mood today,” Christian said casually.
Hearing that, Cameron swallowed his saliva again. “I’m just happy to have the pleasure of meeting you.”
“Hmm?” Christian raised his brows slightly, but there was a hidden meaning behind it.
“O-Other than that, there’s another thing that has made me happy.” Cameron wiped the cold sweat off his forehead and felt his
knees buckle. “I found a treasure at the antique market recently.”
Christian walked a few steps to the couch and sat himself down. “You’re quite lucky, then. Do I have the pleasure of looking at
your treasure to get some luck from it?”
“Don’t even mention it, Mr. Thatcher. This jade necklace is able to grab your attention.” Although Cameron was not willing to, he
still took out the jade necklace and gave it to Christian with both of his hands.
When Christian saw the jade necklace, his eyes darkened a little. He then played with the necklace in his hand and asked, “This
jade necklace is from the Renaissance period. It should be worth more than ten million, but you found it in the antique market?
Since you have such good taste, do you want me to recommend you to the city’s art appraisal center? Hmm?”
“I... I...” Big droplets of sweat were flowing down Cameron’s face from his forehead.
While touching the cool and smooth jade necklace, Christian said in a deep voice, “No rush. Think properly before you answer.”

Cameron’s knees buckled, and he nearly fell down on his knees when he heard that. His eyes darted around, and in the end, he
said while grinding his teeth, “Victoria gave me this jade necklace. She wanted me to help her change her job position.”
Fearing that Christian would misinterpret his words, he said quickly, “But I’ve always worked with diligence and discipline
throughout my ten years in Delta Club, so how could I break the rules just for a jade necklace? I asked Miss Charlotte about it,
and I changed Victoria’s job only after Miss Charlotte agreed to it. I didn’t decide it myself!”
At this moment, he was feeling very grateful that he had asked Charlotte about it first.
“When did Victoria give you the jade necklace?”
“This afternoon,” Cameron answered right away.
With his right arm propping his leg, Christian played with the necklace in his hand and asked casually, “Do you know why she
wants to change her job?”
“Being a janitor is very tiring.” Cameron assumed. “They’re always despised, and the salary is not good either. If she can become
a hostess and meet a generous dandy, she can get quite an amount of money, and there’s no need to be this tired. She might
even meet an innocent rich man and turn from rags to riches. It’s definitely better than being a janitor!”
“Did she tell you that herself?” Christian looked up. His dark gaze landed on Cameron as though he could see right through him.
At this moment, Cameron’s heart skipped a beat. His face reddened as he stuttered, “N-No, it’s j-just my guess.”
Why does Mr. Thatcher care so much about Victoria’s matters? Does he know her? I’ve arranged so much work for her
throughout this period, though. Will Mr. Thatcher be unhappy about it?
At this thought, he wiped the cold sweat off his forehead.
P-Probably not. If Mr. Thatcher really knew Victoria, he wouldn’t have let her become a hostess and a janitor at Delta Club. I’m
just thinking too much.
Meanwhile, Christian stared at Cameron straight in the eye. Just when the latter felt pins and needles on his head while his limbs
were weak and his mind was blank, only then did Christian look away and turn around, leaving the room.
”Mr. Thatcher!” Seeing that, Cameron quickly dragged his buckled knees to chase after Christian and shouted anxiously.
When Christian heard that, he stopped and turned to look at him. “Is there anything else?”

“Mr. Thatcher, the...” Cameron stared at the jade necklace in his hand and pointed at it. Even though he wanted it back, he didn’t
dare say frankly, making his face turn red from frustration.
Christian played with the jade necklace in his hand and glanced at him without much expression. “Hmm?”
“N-Nothing.” Cameron felt so upset as though his favorite toy had been snatched away, but he didn’t have the courage to take it
back from Christian. As such, he could only say with duplicity, “It’s already late. Be careful when you go back.”
Hearing that, Christian nodded slightly and kept the jade necklace under Cameron’s painful gaze before turning around to leave.
“This Victoria only brings me trouble!” Cameron grinded his teeth and scolded with a stream of coldness flashing in his eyes. I’m
definitely going to kick her a*s.
After Christian left the room, he walked a few steps to the front and headed into the CEO’s office.
“Mr. Thatcher.” Someone was reporting Delta Club’s recent procurement matters to Charlotte. When he saw Christian come in,
he bowed down and greeted him immediately.
Christian gave him a hum and waved at him, asking him to leave the room.
“I just wanted to tell you something, and you’re here already. What a coincidence.” Charlotte stood up with an alluring smile and
boiled some hot water, ready to make some tea. “There are too many janitors in the club, but the number of hostesses isn’t
enough, so I decided to transfer Victoria over.”
“Is the club lacking hostesses? Do you want me to hire a batch for you?” he asked subtly while playing with the jade necklace in
his hand.
When he recalled Victoria wearing the bodycon dress that showed her thigh and how she drank with other men, his grip on the
necklace strengthened, but he couldn’t tell what was wrong with him.
At this moment, Charlotte glanced at the jade necklace in his hand, which looked quite familiar, and clicked her tongue. “I’m just
joking with you. Did you really believe me?”novelxo.com fast update
“Why did you transfer her back?” After walking to the office chair, he sat down and tapped the table with his fingers
subconsciously.

When she saw that, she raised her brows as a stream of interest flashed in her beautiful eyes. He’s tapping the table? I don’t
remember the last time I saw him show his emotions like this.
She then glanced at the jade necklace in his hand and smiled meaningfully. “Aren’t you holding a grudge against Victoria? I just
thought that I should attack her weak spot. It’s quite useless to let arrogant people like her engage in hard labor, so I thought I’d
let her entertain the customers to train her not to be so hot-tempered.”
Just then, his action of tapping the table came to a halt, and there was not much change in his expression, but Charlotte could
still feel that he was unhappy.
The water was boiling, so she made tea while saying with a smile, “Are you reluctant to see that? Oh, right. Miss Coleman is so
delicate and has been following behind you, pursuing you for so many years. It’s quite normal if you feel sorry for her...”
“Charlotte,” Christian raised his eyes and called her name coldly.
“This is a great tea that I got recently. Try it.” After she was done making the tea, she pushed a tea cup to his front.
Following that, he picked the tea cup up and took a small sip, but the tea was too hot. He frowned a little and put the tea cup
back on the table.
“Well, this is funny! Who’s in your mind that can make you burn yourself from drinking tea?” She laughed her head off with some
tears in her charming eyes. “I think no one will believe me if I tell anyone about this.”
With a darkened face, Christian glanced sideways at her.
