Too Much to Bear, My Love novel Chapter 576

Chapter 576 In Vain

Oscar said calmly, “Mr. Hutton, my son is kicking up a fuss for not being able to see his mommy, so I’m afraid Amelia and I can’t stay at Saspiuburg any longer. I’m sorry about that.” However, he did not look apologetic at all.

With his hand quivering in anger, Benjamin had never imagined that Oscar would disrespect him this way.

Benjamin growled, “Mr. Clinton, I would only need your wife for half an hour. Can’t you spare me such a short time?”

However, Oscar responded with a smile, “Mr. Hutton, I’m sorry, but I’ve booked our air tickets. The plane is taking off in another two hours, so we can only make it in time if we depart now. Sorry, but we’d have to make a move now.” With that said, Oscar threw his arm around her shoulder and left.

Benjamin clenched his fist so tightly that his knuckles emitted a cracking sound.

Staring at Oscar’s and Amelia’s retreating figures, Benjamin almost exploded in a fury.

Meanwhile, Sean watched them with piqued interest. After they took a turn and disappeared from his sight, he readily admitted, “Dad, it seems like Mr. Clinton is more domineering and unyielding than what the rumors portray him to be.”

Benjamin glared at him and barked, “Go home.”

His face contorted with anger by the humiliation Oscar inflicted upon him, and a gnawing pain grew in his chest.

In the car, Sean asked, “Dad, so what’s your plan now?”

Benjamin replied frustratingly, “What else can I do? Now that they’re heading back to Tayhaven, even if the Hutton family is almighty in Saspiuburg, we can’t do anything about it. Tayhaven is the Clintons’ territory, and creating trouble in other’s territories would not do us any good.”

“Dad, are you planning to give up then?”

A cold glimmer flashed across Benjamin’s eyes. “I’m not giving up. It’s just that I’ll have to employ other methods.”

“Dad, I’m actually interested in competing against this legendary Mr. Clinton. The business circle in Tayhaven claims that he’s a prodigy. It makes me wonder how amazing he is to be so highly regarded.” Narrowing his eyes, Sean appeared intrigued.

He believed that if he had collaborated with Oscar, he might have a good chance of taking control of the Hutton family.

Benjamin sneered and huffily replied, “He’s merely an unscrupulous spoiled brat who’s from a prominent family. The business circle is full of praises for him simply out of respect for the Clintons. I can’t believe he actually sees himself as a prodigy. What an insolent and ignorant brat!”

Benjamin was seething with anger after getting offended by Oscar.

At the sight of that, the corners of Sean’s lips curled into a smirk.

The more Benjamin despised Oscar, Sean would stand a better chance of getting Oscar to side with him. As the old saying went, the enemy of an enemy was a friend. He was planning on taking advantage of the fact that Amelia was his sister.

Previously, he did not know that Amelia was Oscar’s wife. Fearful that she would return to the Hutton family to fight for her inheritance, Sean was willing to ally himself with Benjamin. However, the situation had changed. Currently, Amelia had the support of the Clintons, who was one of the most prominent and affluent families in Tayhaven. Unlike his stubborn father, he was not planning on wasting a golden opportunity to forge a friendly relationship with the Clintons.

With a contemplating look, Benjamin asked flatly, “Sean, what are you thinking about?”

Regaining his composure, Sean realized that he must have gotten carried away and immediately tried pulling himself together.

He played dumb and inquired, “What’s wrong, Dad?”

Benjamin warned, “Sean, don’t even think about it. I can see right through you.”

Sean flashed an innocent smile in return. “Dad, I think you’ve misunderstood me. I’m simply trying to figure out a way to explain to Mom now that Amelia has left.”

“It better be.” Benjamin snorted coldly.

Snapping out of his thoughts, Sean dared not reveal his impetuosity anymore.

When they returned to the Hutton residence, Amelia Hutton came downstairs, and Benjamin asked, “Is your mom awake?”

Amelia shook her head.

After removing his coat, Benjamin walked past her and headed upstairs. “I’ll go upstairs and have a look.”

Only then did Amelia Hutton strode toward Sean and ask, “Sean, so how did the discussion go after meeting with Amelia?”

Taking a seat on the couch, Sean shook his head and furrowed his brows, looking worried.

“Sean, what’s wrong?” Wary of his reaction, Amelia took a seat right next to him.

Sean snapped back to his senses and shook his head. “Everything’s fine.”
