Too Much to Bear, My Love novel Chapter 491

Amelia's interaction with Anthony was warm and lovely. As for Oscar, he was watching indulgently from the side. Seeing that, Isabella was overwhelmed with jealousy.

She clenched her fists tightly before calming herself down. “Oscar, there's something my brother and I need to attend to. We shall make a move. We'll visit Tony again some other day.”

Oscar threw her a casual glance before giving her a slight nod.

Isabella was furious when she left the hospital with Noah. As soon as she got into the car, she looked at Noah and said mockingly, “Noah, I feel ashamed for you. You're really invested in maintaining a relationship with someone you don't love just to get the Clintons' financial support, aren't you? You're such a disgrace.”

Noah cast a glance at her upon hearing that. “Watch your tone, Isabella. You're not a kid anymore. One day, you'll get in trouble over the things you say. I don't care what you do, as long as you don't jeopardize my relationship with Stephanie. Otherwise, I'll come for you. To be frank, I don't see Oscar falling for you anytime soon. Instead of being so shamelessly persistent, why don't you focus on helping me in my relationship with Stephanie? Besides, it's not like you won't reap the benefits afterward.”

A chilly glare flashed across Isabella's eyes. “Are you not my brother, Noah? Anybody else's brother would definitely help their sister to find a good husband. So why are you adding insult to my injury instead? I don't even object to your relationship with Stephanie. What right do you have to intervene in my plan to marry Oscar? If I can marry him, don't you think I'd have more say than Stephanie? Oscar doesn't even like Stephanie for the mistakes she has made.”

“Hahaha! You? Marrying Oscar? In your dreams! He's not even into you! Otherwise, why have you gotten nothing after throwing yourself at him all this while? I thought you said you could make any man attracted to you? Based on what I saw, it seems like you're getting nowhere. I don't give a hoot about your personal relationships. However, I'll get Mom and Dad to send you back to Anglandur if you're stupid enough to anger Oscar.”

Isabella clenched her fists tightly. “Noah, it's only a matter of time before Oscar falls for my charm. Since I don't meddle in your personal relationships, please stay out of mine. If you keep testing me, I won't hesitate to ruin all of your plans. If I don't get what I desire, I'll make sure you're doomed as well.”

In response, Noah merely cast his sister a glance and kept mum.

Upon arriving at the Walker residence, Carol got up from the sofa abruptly and approached them. “Hey, I was just on the phone with Olivia. She told me that Tony is hospitalized after drinking the yogurt that you guys bought. What's going on? Why on earth would you buy yogurt to drink? Those drinks are for the peasants!”

Noah rubbed his forehead restlessly and said, “Mom, it's all just a misunderstanding. I've already brought Isabella to the hospital to apologize to Oscar. I think that's the end of the matter. So don't worry, Mom.”

Upon hearing that, Carol was even more agitated.

“What do you mean that's the end of it? Judging from Olivia's tone, she was blaming both of you! Besides, she even said she'd like to reconsider your marriage with Stephanie. Don't you see how serious this is?” Carol thundered.

When she brought her children back from overseas, Carol had been trying to get the Walker family back to the glory days at the expense of the Clintons. She had even sacrificed her only son to please Stephanie even though Carol knew she was a spoiled girl. Hence, she wasn't ready to see all her efforts go down the drain.

Noah's expression instantly darkened as he took off his glasses. “Did you hear wrongly, Mom? I was just on the phone with Mrs. Clinton when we were on the way to the hospital. She sounded fine to me then. How did everything change within a couple of hours?”

Carol heaved a sigh before saying tiredly, “I'll bring the two of you to pay the Clintons a visit. I don't care if you guys didn't do it on purpose. Just apologize to them. Our family can't afford to go up against the Clintons at this moment.”

Isabella instantly protested, “Mom, why should I go? This is all Noah's doing. I don't want to take the blame for him!”
