Too Much to Bear, My Love novel Chapter 698

Chapter 698 Estranged

She gripped her glass tightly as annoyance rose in her heart.

Stephanie and Noah then walked over to the group as well. Stephanie nodded politely to her older brother. “You look handsome today, Oscar.”

All Oscar did was to nod in response.

Stephanie bit her lip, but Noah looked at Amelia gently. “Just call for the waiters if you would like to have something to eat, Amelia. Please, make yourself at home. I’m sure that Oscar will take good care of you.”

Amelia nodded. “Got it.”

Suddenly, a commotion erupted near the entrance. Amelia turned and looked in the direction of where the sound was coming from, only to notice that June, Jennifer, and Carter appeared at the same time.

Jennifer was holding June’s hand as they walked toward Carol and Matthew, who had already exited the stage. They gave the older couple a fancy gift and chatted with them politely before walking over to where Amelia and the others were.

As Amelia stared at Jennifer and June walking hand-in-hand, she could not help but find it weird.

“It’s been a while, Amelia. How have you been?” June asked politely. “I have been caught up with a lot of bothersome matters recently. That’s why it’s been so long since I’ve gone to look for you.”

His strange choice of words was strange and seemed to give off an ambiguous feeling to others.

Oscar possessively wrapped an arm around Amelia’s waist as he replied, “Your video with Ms. Larson is still circulating the internet. Both of you have become quite famous in Tayhaven, and yet you still dare to attend such a big event like this. Aren’t you afraid of getting embarrassed again?”

Jennifer’s expression darkened at Oscar’s words.

“However, I find that both of you are a perfect match for each other. Not only are you two the stars of that tape, both of you even dared to appear at the event holding hands. I guess the universe is really trying to matchmake the both of you,” Oscar continued. “Both you and Jennifer can produce similar tapes to upload online for the world to enjoy. I think that Ms. Larson’s status will definitely attract the attention of men who are trying to climb up the social ladder. It’s not every day you can catch a glimpse of the body of the Larsons’ daughter.”

As soon as Oscar’s words fell, Jennifer’s face was as dark as thunder.

Amelia tugged Oscar’s hand and shook her head at him, signaling for him to watch his words. As the tape had been circulating the entire city, Jennifer’s reputation was damaged badly. Furthermore, Larson Group’s share prices had plummeted. Jennifer probably was not having a good time recently.

June, however, smiled unhesitatingly. “What a good suggestion, Mr. Clinton. However, if you managed to come up with such an idea, I guess that you had probably made the same videos with Amelia, right? Why don’t you take the lead and upload them, too? I’ll take note of the results. If those men are interested in Amelia’s body, I don’t mind taking more of Jennifer and I’s.”

Oscar’s expression darkened as he looked at June maliciously.

Noah quickly stepped forward to be the mediator. “Mr. Wick, I hope that you will let this go on behalf of the Walker family. I’m sure that Oscar doesn’t mean any harm,” he said.

He knew that both June and Oscar were not people that the Walker family could afford to mess with. The family had purposely invited June because they knew about his family, the Adertons. If the Walker family could form a good relationship with such a powerful family like the Adertons, they would definitely have an advantage in the international market.

“Of course, I will, Mr. Walker. All right, I’ll get off my own high horse and apologize to Mr. Clinton,” June replied politely.

Upon speaking, he even feigned sincerity as he bowed to Oscar.

June then looked at Jennifer before speaking. “Let’s go over there, Jennifer. These people don’t particularly seem to welcome us.”

Jennifer nodded in response.

The both of them then proceeded and made their way to speak with other businessmen.

However, all the businessmen were definitely just as shrewd. They saw the video as well. Therefore, their gazes toward Jennifer did not sit well, which led to the latter feeling frustrated.

“June, I’ll head out for a while. It’s too stuffy in here,” she said as she tried to suppress her anger.

June nodded.
