Too Much to Bear, My Love novel Chapter 532

Chapter 532 Jennifer’s Scheme

“Boss,” Jolin greeted politely.

“Boss?” Rory repeated with confusion as she stared at Oscar.

Amelia promptly changed the topic. “It’s getting late, Rory. You should head back first or you won’t make it for dinner.”

Rory glanced at Amelia, then at Jolin, and finally at Oscar. She coughed as though she was trying to hide something, and smiled. “Then I’ll be going back now, Amelia.”

She left quite unwittingly. Even after she was a far distance away, she still turned back to look at Oscar. Sadly, he didn’t care about her at all.

Jolin lowered her head. “I’ve handed her back to you unscathed, Boss. I’ll be leaving now.”

Oscar nodded. “You can leave now.”

“See you later, Boss, Mrs. Clinton,” Jolin mumbled.

After she left, he brought Amelia to his car.

“Are you satisfied with her performance? Or should I pick another person for you?”

“I like her. She’s cute, and she does her work seriously. She has a one-track mind, but that isn’t a bad thing. It’s easy to get along with someone who doesn’t think too much.”

“As long as you think she’s good.”

After returning home, they ate dinner with their child. When that was done, Amelia and Tony sat on the couch watching television while Oscar went to the study to do his stuff. When he turned on his computer, his phone rang. He had received a message.

Whilst staring at the report he downloaded from his email, he turned on the screen of his phone. When he saw the photos on his phone, his look darkened at the same time a tinge of fury appeared on his face.

He knew the man and woman in the picture. The man was June, a person he met two years ago. His wife was the woman in the picture. In the photo, June was staring tenderly at Amelia while she met his eyes. It was quite a beautiful photo.

The rage on his face suddenly vanished, and he smiled. There’s no way Amelia will betray me. Someone has some balls to send a picture like this to me. Are they trying to destroy our relationship with such a dirty trick?

He closed the pictures and called Jolin.

After the call connected, he asked, “Was there a man harassing my wife today, Jolin?”

Jolin hesitated for a second before replying, “You told me before that I’m to only protect Mrs. Clinton and that I can’t reveal where she went, Boss.”

Fury flickered in his eyes for a second before he spoke in a deep voice. “Who’s your employer here, hmm? Are you taking orders from her or me? If I ask you to tell me something, you tell me right away. Otherwise, you’re not going back to the organization, and I’ll stop being your boss.”

“I’m sorry, Boss. I’ve misspoken,” she quickly apologized. “There was a foreigner bothering her today, but I’ve taught him a lesson. I don’t think he’ll be coming back tomorrow. As long as I’m around, I won’t let anything happen to Mrs. Clinton.”

“Good. That’ll be all.” He ended the call and opened the pictures again.

There was a calm before the storm brewing in his eyes before he deleted the pictures.

He worked for a bit before turning off his computer.

After stepping out of the study, he saw Amelia carrying Tony upstairs. She smiled at him and asked, “Finished with your work?”

He nodded and took over Tony. “He’s asleep?”

“Yep. I think he’s tired from playing too much today.” She followed him into the bedroom.

After Tony was placed on his bed, she grabbed Oscar’s hand and asked, “What’s wrong, Oscar? Something bothering you?”

He grabbed her hand and smiled. “It’s nothing. My subordinates didn’t do a good job, so I scolded them a little. It’s fine.”

Amelia chuckled. “You should relax more. If you get too strict with them, they’ll run away.”

“They won’t dare to,” Oscar replied plainly. Clinton Corporations offered the best benefits and wages in the industry. Therefore, the employees there probably wouldn’t leave that easily.

She smiled. “You’re such a tyrant.”

“I only show my gentle side to you.”

“You’re so sweet.”

The edge of his mouth twitched a little before he pulled her into his embrace. “Sleep.”

She glanced at her phone. It was nine, so it was still quite early.

“Talk with me for a while, Oscar. It’s still early.”

“Okay.”
