Too Much to Bear, My Love novel Chapter 709

Chapter 709 Failed To Seduce Him

Oscar had just come out of the bathroom after taking a shower when he heard the sound of the doorbell ringing. He thought Amelia Winters was back, so he did not ask and went to open the door. However, when he saw the person standing outside, his expression instantly darkened.

Amelia Hutton’s eyes turned slightly red as she asked, “Do you despise me, Oscar? Did I do something that made you misunderstand me? I can change.”

“I don’t despise you. I just don’t like any woman other than Amelia trying to get close to me. If you weren’t her sister, I don’t think you could stand in front of me and talk to me right now,” he replied with a frosty look.

Amelia Hutton bit her lip and looked at him, her eyes flashing with unspeakable madness. Coming to a decision, she suddenly rushed up to hug Oscar. However, to her surprise, due to her sudden movement, coupled with the fact that Oscar had seen that coming and turned sideways, she fell right onto the floor.

Oscar looked down at the woman who had made a fool of herself and articulated each word clearly, “If you are so short of men, Amelia Hutton, there are many unmarried men working under me. How about I give you three?”

Amelia Hutton felt her cheeks burning up. At that moment, his harsh words embarrassed her to no end.

She awkwardly got up from the floor and said with reddened eyes, “What exactly is so unlikeable about me? I’m so much like Amy. If you can love her, why can’t you share some of your love for her with me? As long as I can have a little place in your heart, I’m willing to be with you even if I can’t marry you. Since the second time I saw you, I feel that you are a man with whom I could entrust my entire life. I’ve truly fallen in love with you. Could you not treat me so coldly?”

If it were any other man, the sight of such a pitiful woman pouring out words of passion would have instantly melted his heart. Unfortunately, the man before her was Oscar, so she was bound to face a heartless rejection.

Since she was making a fool of herself, she should not expect others to show respect for her.

“Get lost!” Oscar spat coldly.

However, the woman still refused to give up. I finally got a chance to be alone with Oscar. If I give up this time, there may not be such a golden opportunity in the future.

She wanted to rush up and hug Oscar, but she did not expect to receive a tight slap from him, leaving her dazed.

“Get out. Don’t make me think you’ve stooped this low. No one would be in the mood to seduce their brother-in-law when their mother is critically ill. You’re the most shameless person I’ve ever met. Don’t bring shame upon your face that resembles Amelia’s. I don’t want to loathe you.” Oscar then continued coldly, ”You should be glad that you resemble her. Otherwise, as a punishment for trying to seduce me, you would’ve been running naked on the streets for countless men to see by now, and you would make the headlines tomorrow.”

Amelia Hutton subconsciously shuddered upon hearing that.

“Get out!”

Despite his words, she remained where she was, still feeling extremely reluctant to leave just like that.

Seeing that, Oscar took his phone and made a call. When it got through, he instructed, “Walter, come in and take Ms. Hutton away.”

“If you call someone over, Oscar, I’ll say you called and invited me over to do something unspeakable to me.” Amelia decided to go all out and unbuttoned her shirt.

He simply looked at her icily.

“If you want others to know that a rich young lady like yourself ran to the hotel that her brother-in-law was at only to make a fool of herself, you can just take your clothes off,” Oscar said nonchalantly.

Amelia Hutton bit her lip and said indignantly, “Aren’t you afraid I’ll sue you for trying to defile me?”

“You’re already so shameless. What’s there for me to fear? If you’re not afraid that your mom’s condition will worsen after knowing what you’ve done, you can make it known to the world. I, Oscar Clinton, have never been afraid of anyone,” he remarked.

Despite her reluctance, Amelia Hutton knew very well that if this matter had leaked out, nothing good would come to her, especially if her mother did not make a recovery. If something untoward happened to Mom because of me, I’m afraid Dad would be the first person to come at me. By then, I’ll have no way of defending myself, not to mention that I did intend to seduce him in the first place.

“Boss.” A handsome and slender man, Walter Ward, came in and called out respectfully.

“See her out, and if any random woman wishes to come near me in the future, you guys can just throw her out,” Oscar said ruthlessly.

“Understood, Boss.” Walter approached Amelia Hutton and gestured to her as he said politely, “This way, Ms. Hutton.”

She had long since tidied her clothes. She parted her lips as she looked at Oscar but could only reluctantly leave the suite in the end.

Oscar immediately shut the door, his expression turning a little grim.

Walter returned around ten minutes later.

“Has she left?” Oscar inquired.

“Yes, Boss. I’ve sent her away. Shall I teach her a lesson?”

“Not for now. Don’t tell Amelia about this. I don’t want her to be bothered with some trivial things that don’t matter.”

“Yes, Boss.”

“You may leave now.”

Walter nodded and quietly left the suite.

Oscar took a bottle of wine from the wine cabinet, poured himself a glass, and slowly sipped it.

He intended to teach Amelia Hutton a lesson for her seduction earlier on. However, in the end, as he looked at her face, which looked very similar to Amelia Winter’s, he dismissed those thoughts. After all, Mrs. Hutton is still sick, so if anything happened to Amelia Hutton, it’d worry Mrs. Hutton, and that may aggravate her condition. By then, Amelia Winters will be the one feeling anguished.

In just ten seconds or so, he thought through all the outcomes, and because of that, he spared Amelia Hutton this time. Otherwise, she could never have left so easily.

Oscar stood by the window, swirling the wine in the wineglass. His narrowed eyes had a hint of malice burning from within.

Amelia Hutton was unaware that her act of seduction in the suite earlier on had almost cost her her life. She would never know that besides having a strong family background, Oscar was crueler than other men.

She slumped into the car seat despondently with a blank stare. No one knew what she was thinking about.

“We’ve reached the hospital, miss,” the driver said as he stopped the car.

Only then did Amelia Hutton return to her senses. After looking out of the window, she took out a hundred from her bag and passed it to the driver. “Keep the change,” she uttered petulantly before pushing the car door open and exiting the car.

She then took the elevator upstairs, and upon entering the ward, she saw Amelia Winters telling a joke to Eleanor. Although Benjamin looked a little impatient, he still waited beside them quietly. As for Sean, he was smiling gently at the side. The scene made it seem as though they were a family of four, and she was the one excluded.

My father and brother were on my side previously, but now they’ve all switched sides and acknowledged Amelia. Not only did you steal my mother, Amelia Winters, but now you want to win over my father and brother? Do you want to render me helpless and alone? Don’t even think about it.

Amelia Hutton attributed all the anger she had endured from Oscar to Amelia Winters. She felt that if it had not been for the latter, she would not have been in such a wretched state.

“Mom, you’re awake.” She composed herself and walked over docilely.

Eleanor lifted her head with a smile. “Where did you go, Amelia?”

“I went out for a walk. Are you all right, Mom? Does your head still hurt?” Amelia Hutton asked in concern.

“I’m fine. Don’t worry about me.” Eleanor looked extremely pale, but her smile was quite sincere. “I’m already very satisfied with you three siblings around me. I still have to wait for you and your brother to get married, and I look forward to looking after all your children and enjoying our happy family times. So, I’ll stay strong before my wish comes true.”
