Too Much to Bear, My Love novel Chapter 536

Chapter 536 A Replay Of The Photo Incident

“Olivia, you intend to deny this matter, don’t you?” asked Elizabeth, narrowing her eyes.

Olivia smiled politely, showing no trace of dissatisfaction with her unpleasant tone. She was always gracious and elegant in front of people. Compared to her, Elizabeth looked like a clown who spoke discourteously after being driven into a corner.

Although they both came from prestigious families, Olivia was always the better one in terms of looks and temperament.

“Charlie, did you join them today because you also thought Oscar did that matter? We had a minor argument two years ago and had not been on speaking terms since then. Now that you’ve come over, do you really want to waste it on arguing?” Olivia stated in a gentle voice as she looked at Charlie.

Elizabeth’s expression suddenly turned grim. Glaring at Olivia, she said, “Olivia, can you not be so shameless? I’m right over here, yet you dare to seduce my husband in front of me. You’re really despicable. Don’t forget that your son and daughter-in-law are still beside you. I’m ashamed of you.”

Olivia maintained a straight face.

At that moment, Charlie spoke. “Don’t make such coarse speech. I think there must be some misunderstanding.”

“Charlie, is your heart softening when you saw this woman? As soon as she displays a weak front, you forget that June is actually our future son-in-law. Don’t forget how filial he has been to you during these two years. If you still have a conscience, you shouldn’t have spoken such heartless words!”

Hearing that, he sighed and made the wise choice to subside.

June piped up, “Mrs. Yard, I have no evidence either. Even if I knew who did it, I can’t do anything to him. Please calm down, and don’t get angry because of me.”

When Elizabeth heard him, she became even angrier.

“Oscar Clinton, you won, but don’t get too complacent. If something untoward happens to June, I will never let you get away with it. You already hurt my daughter once. If she loses her happiness a second time because of you, I will end your life,” Elizabeth said, gritting her teeth.

She rose from the couch and continued, “Charlie, June, let’s go. We came here today in vain, but I believe the evil ones will get their retribution eventually. It’s only a matter of time before it happens.”

Elizabeth left the Clinton residence in a huff. As she got into the car, June said, “Mrs. Yard, I have some good news for you. I have just sent Mrs. Clinton several photos, and they all show the intimate interactions between Amelia Winters and another man. I don’t think she’ll have a good time tonight.”

At his statement, she shot him a glance and was noticeably less angry.

“Are you being serious?”

June nodded.

“June, why didn’t you say it earlier? I could’ve watched Olivia, that hypocritical woman, fly into a rage. Well, at least you took revenge for me. Didn’t she think Cassie was willful for escaping from her marriage that year? Not only did her current daughter-in-law run off with her grandson for two years, but she’s also having an illicit relationship with a man. She is simply a promiscuous woman. I don’t think she’s any better than me. Hah, she deserves it,” Elizabeth snarled, venting her spleen.

Charlie remained silent as he glanced at June in the rearview mirror with a pensive expression.

I need to re-evaluate June. Perhaps he’s not as gentle and refined as he appeared to be and may even be more cunning and scheming than I’ve imagined.

“June, you’re such a great son-in-law! You love Cassie and know me well. I am very relieved to leave Cassie in your hands,” Elizabeth praised June, but a moment later, her expression soured. “June, I am too incompetent that I failed to stand up for you.”

June chuckled and said, “Mrs. Yard, I don’t mean to blame you. I’m a man, so how could I ask you, an elder, to uphold justice for me? I only came here with you today because I wanted you to see the livid expression on Mrs. Clinton’s face. Nevertheless, I didn’t expect her to be more composed than me.”

Elizabeth snorted disdainfully and said, “She is the most hypocritical of all. She pretends to be gentle and magnanimous in front of others, but I bet she loses her cool like a maniac when no one is around. At the thought of Amelia Winters facing her wrath later, I feel exhilarated.”

Her spirits lightened miraculously, but the atmosphere in the Clinton residence did not improve after she and the others left.

“Oscar, what’s going on?” Olivia demanded, her face darkening.

“What do you mean?” It was a rare moment to see Oscar playing dumb.

“Oscar, you know what I mean.”

Her son shrugged and said, “He’s been bothering Amelia the last few days, so I asked someone to teach him a small lesson. I’m not that weak to be incapable of dealing with a foreigner.”

When Olivia heard his reply, she glanced at Amelia, who met her gaze despite feeling guilty.
