Too Much to Bear, My Love novel Chapter 656

Chapter 656 Blunt Questions

Laura nodded.

Jennifer took out her phone to find out that someone had re-uploaded the videos after they were taken down. Besides that, some netizens were even deliberately adding comments to the videos. Upon seeing that, she knew someone was definitely scheming against her.

Jennifer’s expression instantly changed. Since she had majored in marketing at university, she knew someone was plotting against her. Whoever is doing this wants to ruin my reputation. Who, though? Who wants to destroy me so badly?

Right then, someone came into her mind. Clenching her fists, she bit her lower lip so hard that she almost broke through the skin. Oscar, must you be so heartless? Are you not satisfied with what you’ve done to my mom? Why do you want to destroy my reputation? Are you only going to stop once the Larsons are gone from Tayhaven?

Jennifer was overwhelmed by hatred and dissatisfaction.

“Jennifer, is everything okay? Have the videos been taken down?” Laura asked worriedly.

Jennifer returned to her senses and replied awkwardly, “Mom, don’t worry. I’ll deal with the videos.”

Laura looked devastated, so Jennifer helped her to the couch and sat her down. Suddenly, a headache assaulted Laura, and she shook her head to get rid of it before closing her eyes to rest. A moment later, she opened her eyes and looked at Jennifer in confusion, asking, “Why are you here, Jennifer? Didn’t you say you were working overtime when you called just now?”

Hearing that, Jennifer felt relieved and heartbroken at the same time. “Mom, I came back to take some documents. I’ll be going back to work in a while. I’ll bring you upstairs for a nap, okay? You look tired.”

“Is it? No wonder I’m feeling sleepy. Okay. Let’s go up for a nap.”

Jennifer brought her mother to the bedroom upstairs and put her to sleep. After that, Jennifer sat on the bed helplessly. Judging by how explicit those videos are, the mastermind is way stronger than the Larsons. Otherwise, the Larsons would’ve gotten the whole incident settled already.

Jennifer sat there for quite a while before giving June a call, and he only answered the phone after a long moment.

“June, you’ve seen the videos on the internet, right? Are you not going to think of a way to take them down?”

“I’ve already instructed the technical department to delete those videos. They should be done with it soon,” June answered in a cold tone.

“Since you’ve already gotten people to deal with that, I’ll stay out of the way. We’ll get back in touch after the incident dies down. In the meantime, I think you need to offer Cassie an explanation. Otherwise, she’s going to misunderstand us.”

“I will. Don’t worry about that.” With that, June hung up the phone.

Jennifer looked down at the black screen of her phone with a smirk.

Half an hour later, Jennifer went on the internet to see if the videos were still there. Indeed, most of the videos had been taken down. However, it seemed like someone was actively trying to do the opposite. Every time a video was deleted, a new one would surface. In fact, Jennifer felt as though someone was having a fun time trying to sabotage her.

It took three days for the incident to die down. Throughout those three days, Jennifer had kept herself locked in her house.

Meanwhile, Vincent almost lost his sanity because of Jennifer’s incident. Not only did the stock price of his company plummet, but the employees were also getting anxious. If it weren’t for his connections, those videos would’ve stayed on the internet a lot longer, and Larson Group would’ve faced bigger losses as a result.

That night, Vincent only got home at eleven. When Jennifer saw him, she merely raised her head to look at him while sitting dejectedly on the couch.

Vincent approached her. Instead of reprimanding her, he stroked her head gently like a loving father. “Why are you still up?”

Jennifer raised her head and uttered in a raspy voice, “Dad, I’m sorry. I’ve troubled and embarrassed you so much because of this incident.”

“Silly child. I’m your father, no? No matter what lies ahead, I’ll help you solve all the problems. Don’t be scared, okay? I’m here. As long as I’m still alive, I won’t let you get hurt.”

The sadness in Jennifer’s heart intensified. She was filled with guilt when she saw the gray hairs dotting Vincent’s sideburns. At the same time, her hatred for Oscar deepened as well. If it weren’t for him, the Larsons wouldn’t be in such trouble today.

“Dad, I’ll go to the office with you tomorrow. I have to take responsibility for what happened. Besides, I didn’t even do anything wrong. All I did was have sex with a man, and it just so happens that someone had taken photos and videos of us and leaked them on the internet. It’s not that big of a deal.” Jennifer twitched her lips into a weak smile and acted casual.

Despite what she said, she was extremely nervous within. After the blunder she had caused, she was afraid that other people would talk about her behind her back.

She was also afraid that they would give her judgmental stares. In fact, that was something she never wanted to go through again.

“That’s not necessary. You should keep your mom company and rest at home for a few more days. Come to the office to help once everything has subsided.”

“Dad, I’ve already decided to follow you to the office tomorrow. Since it’s something I caused, I can’t let you go through it on your own.”

“Be good now.”

Jennifer was determined to go to work the next day because she had never been one to back down in the face of difficulties. Instead, she would rather face them head-on.

Indeed, she was a tough girl.

Vincent couldn’t convince her otherwise, so he agreed to it in the end.

The next day in the office, everyone there was looking at her with judgmental looks in their eyes. Some of the men were even checking her body out pervertedly. However, they would quickly look away when Jennifer turned toward them.

Although Jennifer was annoyed by those stares, she kept herself busy with work the entire morning.

She knew she would attract unwanted attention if she were to have lunch at the company cafeteria. Hence, she decided to just grab a bite nearby the office. To her surprise, she saw an army of reporters the moment she arrived in the office lobby. She was horrified when she noticed how many of them were waiting outside the building.

I’m not a celebrity, and I’ve always kept a low profile, so I’m not usually the sort of person they go after, right? Yet, why are they all here?

Clenching her fists, she slowly retreated. This must be Oscar’s doing. Not only does he want to humiliate me, but it seems like he’s also eager to get rid of me for good.

She thought she could make her way upstairs, but it was too late. It was as if the reporters had binoculars with them because they spotted her right away. When they saw her, they quickly stormed into the building. Not even the security guards could stop them.
