Too Much to Bear, My Love novel Chapter 627

Chapter 627 Consensus

By the time Isabella arrived at the Clinton residence, she’d managed to hold her emotions in check.

“What brought you here, Isabella?” Olivia was sitting on the couch calmly when she flashed a warm smile. It was as if she had no idea Oscar had just gotten married to Amelia.

Upon seeing that, Isabella was so angry that her veins had started throbbing in her neck. After taking a deep breath, she managed to calm herself down after a few seconds. She then forced a smile and said, “Mrs. Clinton, I’ve come here today to verify the news of Oscar and Amelia getting remarried. Is that true? Although everyone in the company is talking about it, I refused to believe them. Hence, I came to ask you personally.”

“Yes, they’ve indeed gotten remarried. I’ve approved it because Tony is all grown up now, so I don’t want him to keep staying in a single-parent household,” Olivia answered warmly.

Anger welled up in Isabella’s chest once again. How could she go back on her words like her promises to me meant nothing? She’d promised me that I’d become her daughter-in-law! Not only is she not upholding her promises, but she’s also acting like she hasn’t done anything wrong! Could it be that all the Clintons are just untrustworthy?

“Mrs. Clinton, didn’t you promise me I’d become your daughter-in-law? Why are you going back on your words now?” Isabella clenched her fists tightly and tried to suppress her anger.

Still, Olivia looked at her warmly and replied lovingly, “Isabella, I have no problem having you as my daughter-in-law. However, I’m sure you’re aware of the fact that Oscar has no feelings for you. Instead of clinging to him, why don’t you let him go? Not only are you pretty, but you’re from a prominent family. You should get out there and find another man with similar qualities.”

Isabella gazed at Olivia and let out a mocking sneer. “Mrs. Clinton, I’ve been treating you nicely for so long. In fact, I’ve even been caring for you like you’re my biological mother. Who do you think I am? Do you think you can just chase me away with a few words of yours?”

The smile on Olivia’s face soon faded. She then looked at Isabella apologetically and said, “I’m sorry, Isabella. I’ve tried to match you up with Oscar, but he’s still not interested in you. I don’t want to waste your youth, so I’ve decided to just end your sufferings now. I’ve come up with an idea, though. Since you’re not going to be my daughter-in-law, would you like to be my goddaughter instead?”

Isabella clenched her fists tighter, and the veins on the back of her hand bulged.

She gritted her teeth and asked, “Are you feeling sorry for me, Mrs. Clinton?”

“Why would you think that, Isabella? My love for you is sincere! I’d like to be able to treat you like my own daughter.”

“That’s enough!” Isabella abruptly stood up from the couch and glared at Olivia. “Mrs. Clinton, I don’t need your pity. I’ve come here today to seek justice, but it doesn’t seem like you’re able to give me that. In that case, I don’t wish to be in a place where I’m not appreciated. However, Mrs. Clinton, there will be consequences for you breaking your promises.”

The expression on Olivia’s face instantly darkened.

“Isabella, you’re still young. Please don’t act on your anger,” Olivia urged patiently.

In response, Isabella looked down at Olivia and chuckled coldly. “Mrs. Clinton, thank you for your advice, but I don’t need it. I shall leave now.”

With that, she turned on her heel and left. She’d shown no sign of the usual respect she had for Olivia.

After stepping out of the main entrance, she turned around and glanced at the Erihal-styled mansion. For the humiliation I’ve received today, I will definitely take revenge in the future. It’s never too late to take revenge. One day, I’ll take all of you down.

After that, she straightened her body and left the scene without turning back.

Still sitting in the living room, Olivia was getting riled up. She glanced around and whipped out her phone to give Carol a call.

Olivia gave Carol a summary of Isabella’s antics that day before telling her about a piece of good news. She was hinting to her she’d been preparing for Noah and Stephanie’s wedding. Once she’d decided on the date, they were to get married right away.

Olivia then added, “However, it seems like Isabella is utterly infuriated. In good faith, I’ve encouraged her to find someone else because Oscar isn’t interested in her. To my dismay, she’d misunderstood me. Please comfort her on my behalf. I’m willing to acknowledge her as my goddaughter. When she gets married in the future, I’ll give her a generous dowry.”

Hearing that, Carol immediately answered, “Don’t worry, Olivia. I’ll talk to her. Regardless, it’s a good thing that Oscar and Amelia are getting remarried, and they deserved to be congratulated. Isabella was wrong to barge in and cause a scene. I’ll get her to see you and apologize to you.”
