Love You Enough to Leave You novel Chapter 412

Chapter 412 You Have Me

In the end, Amelia received the summon from the court, while Tiffany glanced at her. Tiffany thought that Olivia was just joking that day, but it turned out that she was serious about it. The summon came two days later when Oscar was having a meeting in the company.

“What are you planning to do, Amelia?” asked Tiffany.

“With regards to the child’s custody, the parents will be the first guardians, followed by the grandparents. If his father doesn’t compete for custody, who do you think the judge will give custody of Tony to?” asked Amelia as she gazed back at Tiffany.

Holding her hand, Tiffany asked worriedly, “I know what you mean, Amelia. However, don’t forget that the Clintons isn’t just an ordinary family. The court will side with them if they want to. I think that you should probably talk to Oscar about this first. Since he’s so capable, he’ll definitely find a way to solve this. It’s best if he talks to his parents first personally.”

Amelia smiled bitterly and explained, “I’ve already talked to him. However, my father-in-law always acts in accordance with my mother-in-law’s wishes. He can’t bear to make her upset, even in the slightest bit. Since she is determined to get custody of Tony, he’ll definitely side with her. If Oscar intervenes forcefully, he might strip Oscar from his inheritance of the Clinton Corporations.”

Frowning, Tiffany felt a surge of fury rise within her.

“Has Olivia been possessed? I never knew that she is such an unreasonable person! My impression of her was that she’s a dignified, generous, elegant, and knowledgeable person—the pinnacle of a woman. Why has she become so unreasonable after two years?” protested Tiffany indignantly. Life’s going so well! Why must she insist on creating more trouble?

A helpless look flashed across Amelia’s eyes.

“She must’ve been scared when I took Tony away. That’s why she’s insisting on taking him back. I failed to consider things carefully back then.”

“But you’ve been tormented by guilt all this while! Furthermore, I don’t think that you’ve done anything wrong. Many women would have given up after facing the same disaster as you did. You’re already very strong to have overcome it!” consoled Tiffany. She sincerely believed that Amelia was very strong. No one could accept it if a talented woman like her suddenly turned blind. Hence, it was really admirable for Amelia to have overcome such a challenge.

Looking at Tony, who was running down the stairs, Amelia smiled and said firmly, “I’ll talk to them personally. No matter what, they’re Tony’s grandparents. Their ties cannot be changed. I don’t want these misunderstandings between us to scare Tony.”

“Talk to them? They’ve become so unreasonable. Will they be willing to listen to you?”

“If they’re really unreasonable, Tony wouldn’t be by my side now. Actually, the Clintons are quite reasonable. At the very least, they’ve never exploited their power and status to do anything bad. Although my father-in-law looks very cold, he’s a rational person,” replied Amelia objectively.

Tony’s arrival interrupted their conversation. Hugging him, Amelia stopped their previous conversation and said, “Tiff, stay back for dinner.”

“It’s fine. It’s been a difficult journey for you to have reconciled with Oscar, so I don’t want to be a third-wheel. Also, I’m going to pick some suitable outfits with Derrick at night. I’m going to visit the Hissons tomorrow with him, so I’m super nervous,” explained Tiffany.

Only then did Amelia remember that Tiffany was going to visit the Hissons.

Grabbing her hand, Amelia consoled her, “I’m sure that you can get along well with the Hissons. When you reach their place, remember to keep your temper under control. Don’t talk back to the elders and remember all your etiquette. If they put you in a tough spot on purpose, just mention Oscar’s name. After all, he did say that he wants you to become his godsister. With me and Oscar supporting you, I’m sure that the Hissons won’t be foolish enough to make things difficult for you.”

Tiffany burst out laughing.

“Babe, have you learned how to threaten others?”

“This is an exception. Elites are often very proud and arrogant. Hence, you’d need special methods to deal with these people. It’s best if they’re friendly to you. However, if they don’t take you seriously, they’ll be wary if they know that Oscar’s your godbrother.” Amelia knew the rules of survival for the elites. Only a fool would not take advantage of their social connections.

Tiffany chuckled mockingly.

“Previously, Olivia even wanted me to become her goddaughter and I rejected her pretentiously. Now, I ended up becoming Oscar’s godsister. Will the Clintons think that I’m just playing hard to get?” she asked.

“If that’s what they think, we can’t possibly stop them,” replied Amelia indifferently.

The upper-class circles were used to judging others with prejudices. Hence, it would not seem weird if that was what they really thought.

Tiffany agreed too.

Tony stared at Tiffany curiously with his wide eyes and asked, “Are you going somewhere, Tiffy?”

Tiffany pinched his cheeks affectionately and said with a smile, “My dear Tony is so smart! You immediately guessed that I’m going somewhere. I’m going to buy some clothes later and fight in a battle with Mr. Pretty tomorrow. Wish me good luck!”

“Are you going to war, Tiffy?” Tony was excited. “Can you bring me along? I’ll destroy your enemies with my water gun!”

Tiffany was comforted by Tony’s childish words.

She played with him till half-past-five in the evening and only left after Derrick called her. Amelia sent her to the lift. While waiting, Tiffany said, “Babe, you and Oscar should have a good talk with the Clintons. If it doesn’t work out, tell me and I’ll think of a solution for you.”

Amelia laughed. “Okay. Go now! Otherwise, Derrick might get impatient from waiting. He’s genuinely nice to you. Stay together with him happily, okay? God must have blindfolded him. Otherwise, how can such an exceptional man fall in love with you?”

“Babe, why are you dissing me like that?”

“I just want you to treasure a man like him who truly dotes on you. Even if Mrs. Hisson makes things difficult for you on purpose, bear with it and it’ll pass soon. You and Derrick are the ones in control of your lives. Don’t argue with her in front of him, okay?” reminded Amelia.
