Chapter 24 She Doesn’t Deserve to Die Yet

With disdain clearly showing on his face, the old man said, “Everything about Delta Club is good, but I just don’t get why they would employ a person like her. She…”

Their voices faded away as they walked into a room and the door closed behind them.

Victoria could hear what he said just now clearly. At first, she would be angry and sulking whenever she heard these kinds of remarks, but she was used to it by now after listening to it so many times.

“Here…” A pair of women’s shoes suddenly appeared in front of her. “Take this.”

Right then, something was shoved into her hand. And when she lifted her head, she saw Janice take off immediately after passing her the item in hand, not giving her the chance to refuse.

Victoria opened her hand and realized that it was Janice’s name card. Janice Mooney from Voyage Legal Firm.

Meanwhile, in the CEO’s office of Delta Club, Christian was sitting on the couch with his slender legs crossed. The sun shone through the window and cast on his body, making the white shirt he was wearing glittery. The way that he was almost glowing under the sunlight added a sense of mystery to him.

After she brewed the tea, Charlotte served him a cup of it. The corners of her eyes were upturned, and hints of caution were apparent in her lazy but captivating eyes “Honestly, I don’t understand the relationship that you and Miss Spritz have at all.”

He tilted his head to look at her before lifting the cup and taking a sip out of it.

I’ve never seen you on friendly terms with her, so it doesn’t seem to me like you care about her.” She paused for a moment after that. When she saw that he did not get angry, she then slowly added, “Yet, I wouldn’t say that you don’t care about her either. It’s been two years since Victoria ran her over, but you’re still punishing Victoria for her sake.”

The rich aroma of the tea reached his nose and calmed his mind. He blew on the tea lightly before taking a few sips of it. It was a wonder how he could look so elegant and magnificent even just by carrying out such simple acts.

Just when Charlotte thought that he would not say anything, he suddenly asked her, “Who said that it’s for

Bella’s sake?”

“Is it not, though?” She raised her brows as she said that. Despite her confusion, she did not let it show on her exquisite features.

However, she did not get a reply this time.

Christian put down the tea cup, then looked at her with his deep eyes. “Having too much free time on your hand?”

“Of course not. This is such a big club, after all. If it’s not because you came and I needed to serve you for a while, I won’t even have the time to have a sip of water.” Charlotte smiled delicately as she took the tea cup and refilled it for him. Then, she changed the topic. “By the way, Gabrielle came to see me earlier today.”

Christian took the tea cup once again. His well-defined fingers were adding radiance to the cyan- colored tea cup as he held it; the sight was simply as pretty as a picture.

When he looked at his hand, an unnoticeable frown formed on his face as Victoria’s bloody palm suddenly flashed across his mind.

“She said that Victoria had a gastric problem last night and there were injuries all over her knees. And she had to work for more than 10 hours every single day. So, Gabrielle was afraid that Victoria would collapse if this continued. Charlotte sat on the other couch and leaned against it leisurely. “I don’t want to have any casualties here. So, I’m thinking of reducing her work load. What do you think?”

“Are you seriously asking me for my opinion on a minor matter like this? Now, I’m starting to question your capability to work as the Delta Club’s CEO. Feeling slightly annoyed, he raised his hand and pulled on his necktie to loosen it before standing up to head out.

Just when he was about to exit the room, he stopped in his tracks and said coldly, “Send her some medicine. She doesn’t deserve to die yet.” Then, he left.

When Charlotte heard that, a spark of interest flashed in her peach blossom eyes. Tsk tsk. She doesn’t deserve to die, or is it you who don’t want to see her die?

By the time Victoria changed her clothes and ate her lunch, her 15-minute lunch break was already up. She barely had the time to rest at all.

She massaged both of her legs, which were so sore as though she had just run several marathons in one go. While in a haze, she grabbed the cleaning tools and started to make her way out of the canteen. When are days like this going to end?

At this moment, a few people who had just come for lunch looked at her and whispered, “Our lunchtime is two-hours long, right? Why does she always go back to work at 12:15PM?”

“I know her. She was a hostess previously, but after she offended someone, she was then reassigned to be a janitor. And she needs to work more than 10 hours a day.”

“Why is she still staying here then?”

It just so happened that Daisy passed by while they were having the conversation. So, she said loudly, “You know nothing. She has seduced so many rich men in these few days. This kind of suffering is nothing once she becomes a rich woman in the future. This is called being resilient!”

Hearing that, many gazes landed on Victoria; some filled with disdain, some with irony, some with indifference, and only a few of them filled with sympathy.

“Fie! Do you really think that you can turn from rags to riches? Why don’t you take a look at yourself in the mirror? You’re just daydreaming!” Daisy spat at Victoria with her eyes full of disdain and contempt.

When Victoria lowered her head and saw the spit on her shoes, the muscles on her arms tightened as she balled up her fists subconsciously. She unclenched them at first but soon after, she held her fists tight once again.

The wound on her palm was torn again from the pressure, and the blood dripped down onto the floor from her calloused hand. She was having a hard time deciding whether to endure the harsh remarks

She Doesn’t Deserve to Die Yet

thrown at her face or submit to her rage and fight back.

“Not happy about me?” Daisy walked up to her and arrogantly jabbed at her chest with an index finger a few times. “Spit back at me if you dare-Ah!”

Before she could finish her sentence, Victoria had already raised the mop that was still stained with dirty water and pressed it on her face.

At this moment, the crowd was stunned.

Daisy’s entire face was covered by the mop. When she breathed in, her nose was filled with the smell that made her want to vomit.

She brandished her hands, wanting to push the mop away, but to no avail. So, she shouted in a shrill voice, “Victoria Coleman! You shameless b*tch! Let go of your hands now!” novelxo.com fast update

Thud! Just as she finished her sentence, Victoria kicked her on her knees, making her stumble and kneel right in front of Victoria. The mop fell onto the ground at the same time.

Then, Daisy raised her head that was covered in dirty water and was about to scold Victoria. When she met Victoria’s eyes, all she could see was darkness and malice in them. It was as if she was looking at an offended beast.

At this moment, everything she wanted to say was stuck in her throat. All of a sudden, she was covered in goosebumps as she felt chills running down her spine.

However, when she looked closer, she realized that Victoria’s expression was calm as usual, as though what she saw a moment ago was just an illusion.

“Don’t forget that I’m a criminal.” Victoria picked up the mop and did not even look at Daisy as she walked toward the exit with the mop in her hand. However, she stopped in her tracks just outside the door.

After some time, the pin-drop silence of the canteen was broken by boos and hisses that were filled with all sorts of comments. Some of the workers were even laughing at Daisy for getting her butt whipped by Victoria.

“I didn’t even dare to make a sound when I saw that fierce look on Victoria just now!”

“It’s better if we stay away from her from now on. Who knows when she will want to…”

“Something’s wrong with Miss Charlotte too. There are so many people out there, but she just had to choose this kind of person. What happened just now was really scary. From now on. I’m going to bring along a stun gun whenever I come to work!”

“Daisy had it coming, though. Both of them are like two peas in a pod, so it’s more or less just a dogfight.”

“I felt quite satisfied when Victoria pressed that mop on Daisy’s face. She gossiped about me quite a lot.

after all.”

When Daisy heard all these comments, her face started changing from pale to red as she felt humiliated and angry. The shade of red was getting deeper and one could easily mistake her face for a palette. She held herself up off the ground while grinding her teeth with hate.

I’ll definitely make her pay for this!

She Doesn’t Deserve to Die Yet

At the door, when Victoria heard their discussions, a sarcastic and bitter smile tugged on her lips.

She could never get rid of this tag for the rest of her life. Even though she was forced to fight back, she would still be the party at fault because of her past.

She was like a filth in everyone’s eye, something to be avoided at all cost….
