Too Much to Bear, My Love novel Chapter 489

Chapter 489 Blackmail His Sister

Under Oscar’s instructions, Hugo soon found out it was Noah who provided the yogurt.

Oscar immediately asked Noah out for a meetup.

That day, Noah walked into the cafe dressed in simple black trousers and a white shirt. With his gold-framed glasses, he looked more like a professor than a businessman.

In fact, Noah looked like the perfect epitome of a gentleman.

“Oscar, I was surprised when I received your invitation!” Noah adjusted his glasses and said gently.

In response, Oscar pointed at the seat opposite him and ordered, “Take a seat.”

Oscar’s feelings toward Noah had always been neutral. He didn’t bother to be hospitable although the latter was Stephanie’s boyfriend.

Noah sat down and voiced, “Oscar, it’s such a pleasant surprise to see you. What can I do for you?”

“Did you give some yogurt to a boy a few days earlier?” Oscar didn’t bother to beat around the bush.

A flash of confusion appeared in Noah’s eyes. “What yogurt?”

“I’ve already gotten my men to look into this matter. I found out that you visited the Clinton residence along with your sister a few days ago, and you’ve given a servant’s son some yogurt. I didn’t know you were such an approachable person. I was very surprised when they told me that you’ve brought yogurt for the kids.” Oscar seemed to be insinuating something as he spoke.

Noah was confused. “Yogurt? Oscar, it seems like there’s some misunderstanding. It’s true that I did visit the Clinton residence with my sister a few days ago. However, I spent most of the time there with Stephanie. Then, at around half-past eight, I brought Stephanie out for a date in the city. I don’t remember anything about yogurt.”

Oscar narrowed his eyes and looked at him coldly. “You might not know about this, but we have surveillance cameras covering every angle in the Clinton residence. The reason being we wanted to keep an eye on Tony. Imagine my surprise when I saw that the surveillance cameras caught you giving the yogurt away. So, are you still going to deny it?”

Seeing that Oscar was getting mad, Noah changed his tone. After pondering for a while, he said, “Ah, I think I remember now. I did give a kid a few bottles of yogurt that day. I bought them because Isabella said she wanted some. However, she changed her mind when we got to the Clinton residence. Since I wasn’t going to drink it, I gave the yogurt to him because I found him cute. What’s wrong with that? I didn’t think it’d turn out to be such a big deal. I’m sorry if you’re annoyed at the fact that I’ve given the servants some drinks.”

Oscar gave him a hard stare and sneered, “I’ve tested the yogurt, Noah. Everything about it was normal except for the fact that it was spiked. Although the poisonous substance wouldn’t do much harm to adults, children could easily get food poisoning once ingested. I gave you the benefit of a doubt and tested all the yogurt from the same manufacturer. True enough, none of them had the substance found in the few bottles that you brought along. What do you have to say about that?”

A hint of coldness flashed across Noah’s eyes upon hearing that. However, he remained as soft-spoken as ever with a confused look on his face. “Oscar, are you saying that I’ve spiked the yogurt? How could you say that? I only gave the kid some yogurt out of the kindness of my heart. What’s the big deal? Did you really have to come at me this way?”

With a cold-looking grin on his face, Oscar sneered, “What’s the big deal? Did you know my son is hospitalized because of your yogurt? How dare you ask me what’s the big deal? If I find out that you’ve done that on purpose, I’ll make sure that you’ll never see the light of day again.”

Noah was stunned when he saw Oscar losing his temper.

He quickly concealed his emotions and said gently, “What’s going on, Oscar? Why is Tony hospitalized? Why didn’t Mr. Clinton and Mrs. Clinton mention a thing about it? Stephanie doesn’t seem to know about it as well. Did Tony really get hospitalized because of the yogurt I brought along? I had no idea.”

Instantly, a menacing look appeared in Oscar’s eyes. He glared at Noah and roared, “Noah, I don’t care if you had the intention to harm Tony or not. But I hope you’ll treat this as a warning. If such a thing happens to Tony again, I’ll show you what I’d do for my son. Both you and Stephanie had better stop testing my patience.”

What Oscar said this time around had really frightened Noah.

Panic flashed across his gaze before he regained his composure. After giving his sentence some careful thoughts, he said, “Oscar, what happened with the yogurt really is a misunderstanding. I wouldn’t be so careless if I ever wanted to harm Tony. Besides, I love Stephanie. Why would I even think of harming her beloved nephew? I’m sure this is all just a misunderstanding.”

Oscar stood up abruptly and looked down at him. After some time, he finally said, “Noah, I’ve asked you out today to warn you. Don’t test me.”

With that, he turned around and left.

Noah’s face clouded over as he took off his glasses and pinched his nose bridge. Where did my plan go wrong? How did this happen? Didn’t I already plan everything out?

He had only gotten close to Stephanie because he wanted to get on Oscar’s good side. His plan was to get the Clintons’ full support and rebuild the Walker family. I’ve carefully planned everything out since the beginning just to please Oscar. Why would I try to sabotage my plan by harming Tony? Something fishy is going on here. I bet the person who spiked the yogurt is trying to ruin my relationship with Oscar.

After recalling the incident that day, Noah couldn’t help but think about what Isabella told him when he gave the yogurt to the kid. Suddenly, his expression darkened and a frightening look of rage was soon etched on his face.

Noah immediately rang Isabella and said assertively, “Isabella, I don’t care where you are or what you’re doing. Come over to Forest Cafe this instant! Otherwise, I’ll expose your secrets to Oscar.”

As soon as he was done talking, he switched off his phone.

When Isabella arrived at the cafe, a waiter led her to a private room.
