Too Much to Bear, My Love novel Chapter 770

Chapter 770 She Will Not Leave Clinton Corporations

After Oscar returned to the office, he got Linda to summon Isabella. The moment Isabella received the order, she made a beeline toward his office. She could barely contain her glee when she asked, “Oscar, are you looking for me?”

Oscar immediately got up and walked toward her in an imposing manner. Just as Isabella was mesmerized by his charming gait, he raised his hand and gave her a tight slap. It was so loud and crisp that it reverberated throughout the entire office.

In an instant, Isabella was bewildered by his slap. She covered her face with her hand and felt her head buzzing from the strong impact of Oscar’s slap. Her ears popped, and she could not hear anything at the moment. It took her a long while before she asked in disbelief, “Oscar, why did you hit me?”

Oscar took out his phone, showed her the photo, and questioned her sternly, “How do you explain this photo? If you don’t clarify this matter today, I’m going to kill you. I can make you disappear into thin air. No one will ever link your death to me. So you’d better listen carefully to me. I’m not joking.”

Isabella subconsciously trembled and looked at the photo on the phone. When she saw the man and woman in it, her expression changed. However, she regained her composure very soon.

She did not expect Amelia to send the photo to Oscar. It seemed that she had underestimated Amelia. She thought that Amelia was the type of woman who would give Oscar the cold shoulders and in turn, cause more misunderstandings between them.

Initially, that was what Amelia intended to do as well when she saw the photo. However, she did not want an external matter to damage their hard-earned relationship. Although she was upset about Oscar’s infidelity, it was still tolerable. Amelia had no wish to divorce Oscar again. She didn’t want Tony to grow up in a single-parent home.

Initially, Amelia had been going in the direction Isabella had expected. However, things soon strayed from what Isabella had planned. To make matters worse for her, Isabella bumped into Jolin. As such, it spelled the end of Isabella’s plan.

The moment Isabella saw the photo, her mind started racing. She then put on an innocent expression and asked, “Oscar, why do you have such a photo?”

Oscar reached out and wrapped his hands around her neck, choking her. “Tell me. What have you done to me? Why can’t I remember anything about the incident that took place on the rooftop?”

Isabella’s face was becoming red, and her eyes were bulging. She opened her mouth, but no word could come out.

Oscar threw her on the floor, and Isabella began gasping for air. She eyed Oscar with fear.

The man that she loved wanted to kill her. Earlier on, she was suffocating to the point of passing out. She thought she was going to die.

“Isabella, I’m not someone you want to mess around with. Don’t ever do anything to me again. Otherwise, I’ll really end your life.” Oscar loomed over her and continued, “From today onward, you are no longer an employee of Clinton Corporations.”

Indignation welled within Isabella, and she got to her feet before saying, “Oscar, do you really want to know about the photo? Fine. I’ll tell you. Yesterday, when I told you that I have something to ask you, you were fine with it at first. However, you suddenly fell silent and went straight to the rooftop. I got worried, so I followed you. Just as I called out to you, you started hugging and kissing me. The next thing I know, a young-looking reporter started taking our photos before running away. I wanted to give chase, but you were hugging me so tightly. You kissed me for a few more minutes before you released me. I was just thinking that you have fallen in love with me when you returned to normal. I knew then that I meant nothing to you, so I didn’t think too much about those photos. I didn’t expect that reporter to hand the photos to you. Was he extorting you for money? But even if that’s the case, I’m also a victim in this matter. So how can you fire me?”

Oscar simply stared at her coldly in silence.

It did not matter if Isabella had anything to do with the incident or not. There was no way he could allow her to stay on at Clinton Corporations. Her presence there would only bring more problems.

“Just get lost, Isabella.” Oscar dismissed her with a wave of his hand.

Isabella was stunned by his words, and tears were threatening to fall.

“Oscar, I won’t leave the company until you give me an explanation. During my tenure here, I have done a lot for the company. You can’t expect me to leave just because of that photo. Besides, you were the one who kissed me first. So why do I have to pay the price for it?” she shouted with an infuriated expression.

Oscar clenched his fists, and a hint of doubt flashed across his eyes.

Do my enemies have something to do with my sudden memory loss?

Naturally, Isabella noticed the hesitation in his eyes and quickly amped up her pitiful act. “Oscar, I adore you, but I have no intention to hurt you. Furthermore, I’m not aware that there is any medicine that can cause short-term memory loss.”

Silence ensued.
