Love You Enough to Leave You novel Chapter 308

Chapter 308 A Cruel Woman

“I don’t need your concern. If you think you can’t handle the job, submit your resignation letter and go back to being the social butterfly you are,” Oscar exclaimed sternly. “This isn’t the Walker family where you can do anything with your status. Show me what you’re made of, or I’ll suspect you of forging your graduation certificate.”

Isabella’s expression fell as tears welled up in her gaze. Born with a silver spoon in her mouth, she had been admired and praised by everyone since young. Other men flocked to her and did everything she ask for. No one had ever spoken to her harshly before. However, Oscar was hard on her today.

No matter how upset she was, she still felt that Oscar was unusually charming and sexy. Perhaps she was a masochist, for Oscar’s indifference was what attracted her to him the most. If she was merely interested in him at first sight, she was certain that her heart belonged to him now.

Oscar was an exceptional man. No woman would be able to resist his charm. Of course, she was no exception. After falling in love with him, she was willing to sacrifice herself to gain his devotion.

Just to conquer his heart, she entered the kitchen, which she used to view in contempt, just to prepare a meal that would please him.

“Oscar, I’ll prove that I’m not useless,” Isabella met his gaze and stated firmly. “I’m not slacking off. I got concerned since you were working nonstop and asked the chef to prepare some chicken soup for you. Can you please accept my sincerity?”

Oscar spared the box in her hand a terse glance before marching away.

Left behind, Isabella held the lunchbox in her hands quietly, her feelings a complicated mixture. However, her gaze was determined.

Oscar, the more aloof you are, the more I want to get you. I fell in love with you. Even if you’re in love with someone else, I’ll make sure you fall out of love with her and then occupy the empty space in your heart. Mark my words.

She ignored the other employees’ curious gazes and strode back into the building.

Oscar got into his car and gazed at the busy traffic outside in exhaustion. Something glinted in his bloodshot eyes.

He started the engine and drove away. Some time later, the car rolled to a stop before the beach where Julian and he drank their hearts out a month ago. He stared at the rolling waves as dejection overwhelmed his heart.

That day, he lost his wedding ring after getting drunk, and it remained missing until today. Perhaps it was a sign that their relationship was meant to be full of obstacles. He had ignored Amelia back then, so it was time for him to be tortured by her disappearance.

Caressing his empty finger, he was at a loss.

Amelia, I lost our wedding ring, and I lost you. Even though I can’t find you anywhere, I’ll be waiting right here. Can you please turn and retrace your steps back to me? Oscar thought bitterly.

He remained at the beach until the sun went down on the horizon. It wasn’t until his phone began ringing that he snapped back to his senses.

Whipping his phone out, he saw his mother’s name flashing on the screen.

Oscar immediately frowned and had the urge to reject the call. For the past month, his family became incredibly tensed up as Amelia remained missing. Olivia even kicked up a fuss and threatened to call the police. She wanted to sue Amelia for bringing Tony away from them. If he hadn’t done his best to stop her, Amelia would’ve been a wanted criminal now.

The Clintons were powerful enough to frame an innocent person if they wished. They could make up a convincing lie easily.

Oscar had no intention of answering his phone, but Olivia was persistent. Thus, his phone kept ringing continuously in the car.

Finally, he caved in.

After he answered the call, Olivia’s cold voice rang out. “Oscar, where are you?”

“Mom, I’m still working in my office. What is this about?” he rubbed his temples and replied weakly.

“I’ve just called your secretary, Linda. She told me you left your office at two this afternoon. I don’t care where you are now. Get back home this instant. Otherwise, I’ll head to the police station and make a report. When the police find her, she’ll definitely get arrested and convicted for her crime. Don’t blame me for not warning you in advance,” she cautioned.

Oscar took a deep breath to hold back his anger. “Mom, I’ll go home right now.”

With that, he hung up.

Olivia’s sudden unreasonable behavior made him both fatigued and helpless. If someone else dared to threaten him, he’d made sure that person regretted doing so. However, Olivia was his mother. He was rendered powerless before her.

Amelia’s departure and Olivia’s oppression gave him a taste of discontent.
