Too Much to Bear, My Love novel Chapter 685

Chapter 685 Transformation

“Boss, Rory left with Jennifer,” Hugo reported everything he saw at Oscar’s office. Oscar replied without looking up, “I see.”

Hugo looked at Oscar and could not figure out what he was thinking. Therefore, he hesitated before asking, “Boss, are you going to let Rory go with only a minor punishment?”

Oscar put down his pen and looked at Hugo. “What would you do if you were in my place?”

Hugo considered and answered, “Boss, I don’t dare to deduce what you think. However, your past self would have destroyed her. Therefore, it is unlike you to let her go after only making her apologize in public.”

Oscar smirked. I’m not going to forgive that woman easily. What I did was only play a game of cat and mouse with her. It is better to torment her slowly. Then, it would be easier for me to crumble her mind and spirit.

“I promised Amelia to be less harsh and cruel in punishing others. Therefore, I do not want Rory to receive her punishment so soon. Since she wants to work for Jennifer, let her be. A person who betrays will betray again. We only have to sit and wait to watch the show. Do you understand what I mean?” Oscar explained with a wicked smile.

“Boss, do you mean they will turn against each other?” Hugo asked.

Oscar nodded and gave him an approving glance.

“Boss, your wisdom is unrivaled,” Hugo praised.

“That’s enough. I don’t want your flattery. Previously, I asked you to monitor June. Is he up to anything lately?” Oscar suddenly switched the topic.

“Boss, June became quieter after that video blew out on the Web. However, I discovered that his cousin had secretly entered Chanaea today. This cousin is the real heir and June’s biggest rival. Would you like to meet him?” Hugo replied.

“Sure, arrange a time with him,” Oscar replied.

“Yes, Boss.” Hugo replied.

“You may leave now,” Oscar instructed.

Thus, Hugo nodded and retreated from the office.

After that, Oscar continued to work until six o’clock. Then, he got ready to head to Amelia’s workplace.

He saw Amelia coming out of the building with Shane. Therefore, he opened the door and headed toward Amelia.

“Amelia, your knight in shining armor has arrived,” Shane said in good humor.

Amelia laughed and turned around to see Oscar approaching her.

“Mr. Clinton, I shall now return your wife to you. There was a plagiarization incident, but I believe you are a gracious man and will not hold a grudge against me.” Although Shane was smiling, he said that to probe Oscar’s thoughts on the matter.

Oscar glanced at Shane and smirked. “Of course, I won’t.”

Shane breathed a sigh of relief.

Then, he shrugged and said, “Mr. Clinton, Amelia, I’ll stop bothering you two and head off first.”

After Shane left, Jolin, who quietly followed Amelia from behind, also chose to leave wisely.

Amelia held onto Oscar’s arm and stood on tip toes to give him a peck on his lips. She moved away quickly to avoid triggering his lust. “Let’s go.”

Oscar wanted more, but he had no choice but to follow her into the car.

“Oscar, how did you know Rory stole the blueprints?” Amelia asked after putting on the seatbelts.

Oscar caressed her cheek and replied, “Are you unhappy about this?”

Amelia shook her head and answered softly, “No, I’m not. I just didn’t expect her to do this to me. I thought I have always treated her well.”

“There is no end to a person’s greed. Rory is young, but she is unusually ambitious. I had someone investigate her and found her having affairs with many higher-ups in your company. One of them is the manager of your department, while the other is the director of the finance department. Furthermore, she also cozied up to your company’s vice president and various directors. She managed to seduce all these powerful men in less than a year. Therefore, one must not underestimate what she is capable of. I believe she targeted you because you stood in the way of her promotion. She could only achieve her goal by removing you from the company,” Oscar explained calmly.

Amelia narrowed her gaze. She still found it hard to believe that Rory was such a person.

“Oscar, are all these true?” Amelia asked.

“If you don’t believe me, I can send you the investigation outcome for you to have a look.” Oscar retracted his hand from her cheek and started the car. “Amelia, you are kind to people, but it doesn’t mean they won’t envy your achievements. Furthermore, you are not only beautiful but have Shane as your friend during university and the Clintons as your in-laws. Some people are bound to get jealous of all the good things you have. Therefore, I’m not surprised that someone would steal your blueprints. However, you must be careful about the people around you. I don’t want you to get hurt.”

Amelia looked out of the window and smiled. “I was careless. It won’t happen again.”

Oscar glanced at her but said nothing. He considered the blueprints theft incident resolved.

Soon, they arrived home and saw a woman with long straight hair playing with Tony. Amelia and Oscar exchanged glances. Neither could recall ever meeting such a woman.

“Tony,” Amelia called.
