Too Much to Bear, My Love novel Chapter 523

Chapter 523 I Feel Relaxed When You Are Safe

Laura’s symptoms were worse than they thought. After returning home for only three days, she had already developed a phobia of people, saying the housekeepers were assassins sent by other people to kill her. She had locked herself in the bedroom, refusing to see anyone. Vincent had someone open the door and calmed the hysterical Laura down. Only then did Laura finally get some rest thanks to a tranquilizer.

Vincent had hired a renowned psychiatrist for Laura, but he did not expect Laura to react violently to this idea. Laura even told Vincent and Jennifer to let her be. She would be dying soon and both of them would be free to do whatever they wanted with no one breathing down their backs.

Both father and daughter felt uncomfortable hearing those words from Laura. They were once a loving family, yet they ended up in this horrendous situation.

Unable to take it anymore, Jennifer rushed to Amelia’s workplace. She sat in the car, glaring at the building in front of her, her fist clenched, and pure hatred shone in her eyes.

Jennifer felt the urge to murder Amelia right on the spot. How could she be so venomous? Sure, Mom was the one at fault, but it wasn’t even serious. How could she be so cold-hearted as to let Oscar lift his hand against an old lady? I’ve already apologized and thought we could steer clear of each other. So why wouldn’t she let bygones be bygones and leave Mom alone? Is she only going to be satisfied if Mom is forced to death?

Jennifer brought her fist down, hard, against the steering wheel, her eyes seething with unbridled rage. She could not care less if she was being reckless now. All she wanted was revenge for her mother. The once elegant lady had been reduced to a crazy woman who had completely lost her mind. Her heart ached for her mother.

Jennifer was waiting for Amelia in her car. When she caught her figure exiting the building, she quickly opened the car door and stomped furiously toward Amelia, her anger barely contained.

Rory stood beside Amelia and saw Jennifer heading toward them. Her first instinct was to hide behind Amelia and secretly push her forward. Amelia didn’t notice Jennifer and was cluelessly edged forward by Rory. This allowed Jennifer to slap her across the face without hesitation.

The sudden slap shocked Amelia to the core. She couldn’t really comprehend what had just happened.

Rory smirked inwardly when she saw Amelia getting hit across the face. Recomposing herself, she planned to comfort Amelia, but Lydia beat her to it. Lydia pulled Amelia to her side, looking concerned. “Amelia, are you all right?”

Amelia shook her head, still confused about what had just happened.

Lydia looked toward the culprit in question and huffed, “What is your problem? How could you just hit someone like that?”

Jennifer looked furious as she pointed at Amelia and spat, “Why don’t you ask that wench? All my mom did was give her a slight injury! Not only did she sue my mom, but she also asked the Clintons to harass her and now she has mental issues! Thanks to that traumatic experience, she is now afraid of even the slightest movement of wind, and it’s all thanks to her. She is a wicked woman and if I could, I would murder her right on the spot.”

Lydia’s gaze turned icy. “Look here, Miss. Accusations must come along with proof. Judging from your accusations, I could tell who your mother is. Your mother was wrong to hurt people, and she got locked up because she made a mistake. Amelia withdrew her lawsuit against your family and you don’t even have to pay a single cent for it. Not only are you being ungrateful, but you even attacked her for no reason. How shameless can you be? If you keep acting up, I will call the cops. If you cannot act logically, explain yourself back at the police station and quit acting like a mad dog.”

Yet Jennifer only had her eyes set on Amelia, who was being shielded. She clenched her teeth and demanded, “Amelia, don’t you have anything to say to me? Stop being and coward and speak.”

Before Amelia could reply, Oscar’s voice came from a distance. “I am the one responsible for your mother’s condition, not Amelia. If you are holding a grudge, by all means, come at me, but don’t you ever disturb my wife over this issue. I was the one who withdrew the lawsuit, but I can easily revoke it and send your mother back to that cell again. Believe me, I never go back on my word.”

Jennifer’s body stiffened at the warning.

She never expected Oscar to show up at that moment.

Her face turned pale in an instant. She didn’t dare to lift her head to confirm if Oscar really came.

Oscar caused Laura’s current condition, and Jennifer was more or less afraid of him.

When Oscar made his way over, Lydia greeted, “Mr. Clinton,” and took her leave, giving Amelia and Oscar some time to themselves.

Oscar lifted Amelia’s face and caught a glance of the swelling bruise on the right side of her face. His expression immediately darkened.

Oscar turned his fuming glare toward Jennifer and raged, “Ms. Larson, since you are so bold as to hurt someone in public, I think you would like a taste of what it’s like to be locked up.”

With that, he took out his phone and prepare to make a call but was stopped by a delicate hand. He glanced over and saw Amelia holding on to his arm.

“What’s wrong?” asked Oscar gently.

“You don’t have to do this, really.” Amelia shook her head. Then, looking at Jennifer, she said, “Ms. Larson, I don’t know what happened to your mother, but everything was handled by the police, not by me. I think you should be more rational. If you ever cause any problems for me again, I will call the police.”

She straightened herself, glanced over at Oscar, and smiled. “Let’s go, Oscar.”

Oscar wrapped his arm around her waist. “All right.”
