Too Much to Bear, My Love novel Chapter 754

Chapter 754 Plan To Seize Power

Naturally, Amelia also saw the online post that slandered Oscar. She requested help from a skillful hacker friend of hers to dig out where the online post was sent out. In no time, the friend updated her that the ID of the poster came from the personal computer owned by a tenant living in a condominium in a small neighborhood in Saspiuburg.

When the hacker hacked into that person’s banking records, the hacker found a suspiciously large sum of money transferred into that tenant’s bank account.

The hacker surmised that someone had hired the tenant to create a defamatory post to shove Oscar under the spotlight and also make him the target of discussion. Moreover, the accounts actively commenting on the post were actually alternate accounts, presumably owned by ghostwriters hired by the mastermind to sway public opinion.

After obtaining that information, Amelia immediately gave Sean a call. “Hello, Amy.” Sean’s tired voice sounded from the phone. Without wasting any time, Amelia said, “Sean, did you see that recent online post that’s making the rounds on the internet? It has already attracted the interest of the media.”

“I know. I saw that. Moreover, many journalists surrounded my company today, trying to get an interview with me. They wanted to verify whether that was true. However, I’ve ordered someone to chase them all away.” Sean massaged his temples and continued, “Actually, Dad ordered someone to post that. God, I don’t know what he’s thinking anymore.

Even I, his son, have no clue what is going on in his mind. Ever since Mom died, he has been acting really crazy and doing things without caring for the consequences.”

Although Amelia was somewhat surprised at the answer, she was also confused. “Why is he doing this? I don’t think he needs to go this far. Any idea?” Amelia calmly questioned.

Sean didn’t know how to explain it to Amelia. After a long torturous pause, he finally answered, “Amy, you need to be careful. I think Dad has made you Mom’s replacement. After her sudden death, I think he found it too hard to accept reality and has changed the focus of his love to you. Although he knows you are his daughter, he subconsciously rejects the thought that Mom isn’t here anymore. He absolutely refuses to believe she is dead. He loved Mom too much.”

Amelia instantly went silent.

Although Sean’s take on this seemed far-fetched at first glance, when she put herself into her father’s shoes, she could almost believe that she, too, would love a man who looked like Oscar as a replacement.

It was impossible for others to understand the crazy and outrageous things a person who loved too deeply would do.

However, Benjamin had always called her a bastard child, so she found it more plausible that this was actually a scheme by him than him truly confusing her with Eleanor. The target of this scheme was also obviously her.

What is this man trying to do? Amelia wasn’t sure.

“Sean, I don’t care what Mr. Hutton is planning, but please, I want you to remove that post as fast as possible while also clarifying this matter with the media. I don’t want Oscar’s reputation to be dragged through the mud any longer,” Amelia demanded. Pausing to take a breather, she continued, “I know we are a family. Still, we did not live together when we were young, so it’s not like we’re that close to each other. That’s why, in my heart, my husband is my priority.”

Sean let out a bitter laugh and said, “All right, Amy. I know what to do. I’ll try to resolve this as soon as I can.”

Amelia let out a sigh and went on in a softer tone, “Sean, I’m sorry for treating you like this. Please don’t blame me for being so harsh with you. After all, your family, the Hutton family, has crossed the line. I don’t want our families to have a fallout when Mom only recently passed away. I’m sure she would have lingering regrets if things continued in this manner.”

“I know,” Sean said.

“Then, I’ll leave it to you to take it down. I’m hanging up.” With that, Amelia ended the call.

Just as Sean placed the phone on his table, his secretary knocked on the door and informed him that Benjamin had arrived.

Speak of the devil, as they say.

Benjamin pushed the door open and entered the office.

“Dad, why are you here?” Sean asked, perplexed.

“Don’t do anything about that post. I want this to blow up on the internet and take advantage of the public to pressure Oscar into letting me meet Lia,” Benjamin calmly said.

Sean rubbed his forehead and answered, “Dad, stop it. No matter how viral the post gets on the internet, it won’t change anything. Moreover, with the influence of the Clinton family, they won’t let the post do any more damage than this.”
