Too Much to Bear, My Love novel Chapter 212

Chapter 212 Causing A Scene

They were talking about Tony happily when a few people suddenly appeared in the hall. At once, the tension in the room grew.

Olivia was playing with Tony and immediately scowled at the unwanted guests’ arrival. As there were other guests around, she immediately regained her composure.

“Lily, I’ve asked my chef to prepare a few desserts. Let’s go try them out. I need your opinion. If you like them, tell the maid to pack some up for you to bring back home.”

The other ladies knew Olivia was trying to send them away, for the unwanted guests were none other than the Yards. Everyone witnessed Cassie’s escape from the wedding five years ago. Her actions caused the Clinton family to become the joke of the upper-class society. Even though Oscar married Amelia shortly after, he still got mocked. Both families remained at peace for the next few years, but Cassie and Oscar were still in an ambiguous relationship. After all, no man could accept being left at the altar by his fiancée.

“We need to try, then. Let’s talk to the chef if they are really good,” replied Lily with a smile. The other ladies nodded obligingly and left with her.

With Tony in her arms, Olivia turned to Oscar. “Oscar, bring your wife to the other end to socialize with the guests there. I’ll handle the Yard family. Don’t interfere lest Cassie kicks up a fuss.”

Oscar held Amelia’s hand and said, “Amelia and I shall go talk to Mr. Ferguson. He only came back to the country yesterday and has never seen Amelia before. When he called me two days ago, he kept reminding me to introduce him to Amelia.”

Olivia nodded. “All right. Go.”

Oscar led Amelia away, while Tiffany remained by Olivia’s side.

“Mrs. Clinton, if they are rude to you, I’ll sew their lips up!” She gestured to zip their lips sternly.

A corner of Olivia’s mouth lifted in response. The next moment, her smile froze in place when she saw the person who appeared behind Charlie.

Upon spotting Olivia’s expression, Tiffany voiced her concern. “Mrs. Clinton, what’s wrong?”

Olivia snapped back to reality and forced a smile. “Nothing.”

Tiffany said nothing after that. Even when she saw Stephanie holding Cassie’s arm later, she merely arched her brow silently.

Stephanie is taunting Amelia, huh? Previously, Oscar might not do anything, but judging from how he adores Amelia now, he should say something after seeing his sister and his ex-lover together. He won’t allow Amelia to get bullied by Stephanie anymore.

Both Stephanie and Cassie like to create trouble. No wonder they are best friends. Birds of the same feathers flock together, after all! They are both arrogant and selfish.

Tiffany might despise the foolish Stephanie, but it didn’t show on her face.

Olivia sauntered over to the Yard family. “Charlie, why are you here?”

Charlie seemed a little awkward for the Clintons didn’t extend an invitation to the Yards. Obviously, they were keeping a distance from the Yards.

“Olivia, we’ve been friends for years. Can’t we come to offer our congratulations to your grandson?” Elizabeth uttered in disdain. She took one glance at Tony and mocked, “Oh, so this is him. I was wondering what he looks like. He’s not that good-looking, after all.”

Olivia’s expression darkened as anger poured through her.

Tiffany touched her arm to stop her from saying anything. “Mrs. Yard, I thought you would’ve learned your lesson since our last encounter, but turns out you’re still as rude as usual. That’s really disgusting. Even I can’t stand the sight of your bad manners. I thought you’re a gentlewoman. I wonder how do you socialize with the other upper-classes?”

As an author, Tiffany was good at cursing others.

Instantly, Elizabeth’s expression soured.
